Chapter 288: Buying Antiques
Liulichang is located in the southwest of the Forbidden City, west of the front gate, and it takes only 20 minutes to walk from the noon gate.
After Han Mingxiu left the Forbidden City, he inquired all the way and walked to Liulichang, Liulichang is a cultural street, originated in the Qing Dynasty, it is said that most of the students from all over the country who came to the capital to participate in the imperial examination gathered here, therefore, there are more shops selling books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone here, forming a relatively strong cultural atmosphere, gradually, forming a cultural street, which has been passed down to this day.
Now the glaze factory mainly deals in antique calligraphy and painting, and also has calligraphy and painting supplies, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and there are some painting shops, specializing in selling Chinese paintings.
Wandering on this street, you can give people a heavy atmosphere of Chinese classical culture, there are antique classical buildings everywhere, Zhulan Mo Pavilion, small building windows, casually walk into a house, you can feel the cultural atmosphere of China for 5,000 years.
In this era, the shops of Liulichang are state-run, or public-private partnerships, although the service attitude is not as good as the service attitude of private stores, but there is one thing that can be assured, that is, there are no fakes!
What is the most fearful thing about buying antiques?
It's just that I'm afraid of selling fakes.
Han Mingxiu doesn't know about antiques, although she has watched the "Treasure Appreciation" column in her previous life, and she has also watched some programs that auction antiques, but she all watched them as if they were watching the excitement, and she did not study antiques.
However, even if she can't understand it, she knows that those antiques are valuable in the future generations, and the collection value of those antiques is high, after all, those dozens of treasure appreciation programs are not for nothing.
She was in a small shop, and she fell in love with a turquoise green depiction of the golden longevity pattern double lion ear pot, which was made during the Qianlong period, and the shape was very beautiful, and she fell in love at a glance.
However, when I asked, it cost a thousand yuan!
You know, in this era, 1,000 yuan is enough to buy a house and buy land, but this small ear pot costs 1,000 yuan, which is really not low!
The salesman who sold the goods also told her that although this treasure did not come out of the palace, it was something from the palace, and it was sold by a down-and-out Belle Lord from the past, and it was genuine, and if she bought it, she would definitely not lose money!
Han Mingxiu also knew that she would not lose money if she bought it, but she had no money now, so she had to wait until she sold the hairy crabs and then came to buy them.
After that, she fell in love with a blue gold and silver swastika bat-shou-patterned cotton coat, and the price was 400 yuan; A snuff box with a pastel Magu offering her birthday costs eight hundred; A "Swimming Fish Picture" of Bada Shanren costs 1,200 yuan; There is also a piece of inkstone, a few lake pens and her most photographed Huanghuali six-pillar open-carved bucket beast phoenix bird shelf bed.
According to the salesman, this is a good thing handed down from the Ming Dynasty, the whole bed is built, without a nail, a screw, all made of mortise and tenon technology, and this bed is well preserved, hundreds of years old, basically there is no bad place.
Han Mingxiu immediately made a decision to buy it, but this bed costs 4,000 yuan!
4,000 yuan is enough to buy a courtyard house in the best area of Beijing, and this price is really moving!
However, Han Mingxiu is not short of money, although she has no money now, but isn't she rich right away?
In order not to make a mistake, she deliberately took out the only sixty yuan in her pocket and paid a deposit, and booked to buy this bed within five days, if she didn't buy it within five days, the deposit of sixty yuan would belong to the family!
After seeing this bed, Han Mingxiu stopped holding it, and went directly to Jia Zhiguo's office to find Jia Zhiguo, telling him that the goods had arrived and he could go to pull the goods at any time.
As soon as Jia Zhiguo saw that the goods were gathered so quickly, he immediately brought a few people, drove the car, and happily went with Han Mingxiu to inspect and receive the goods.
The pestle drove to the rental house, and Han Mingxiu moved the crabs and oysters to the house the moment he opened the door, and after opening the door, he saw that on the ground in the house, there were many silk bags one by one, and the bags contained large crabs and oysters.
"The goods are all here, you bring someone to count them, let's settle the payment."
Han Mingxiu was still in a hurry to buy her favorite antiques, and couldn't wait to urge him to inspect and receive the goods, so that he could settle the payment quickly.
Jia Zhiguo said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, I have to test the quality of the goods first, don't you mind if I steam a few to taste." ”
Han Mingxiu said happily, "Okay, I have a pot stove at home, and you can spot check the goods in these bags." ”
Jia Zhiguo didn't say anything polite to her, opened a bag in the middle and took out a crab, and opened a few bags next to him and took out one each. In the same way, a few more oysters were pulled out and steamed in the pot of Han Myung-so's rental house.
Twenty minutes later, the crabs and oysters were steamed, and the aroma of seafood filled the room.
Han Mingxiu lifted the pot, picked out the crabs and oysters, and invited a few of them to taste them.
Jia Zhiguo broke open the crab and saw the snow-white crab meat inside, the orange-yellow crab roe, it was fresh at a glance, and he tasted it with chopsticks, it was fresh and delicious, as delicious as the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake!
These people are greedy, and they can't put off their chopsticks when they eat such delicious things, and a few people have eaten up a few big crabs and oysters in one breath, and then they stopped.
"What's going on? Is my goods eligible? Han Mingxiu asked.
Jia Zhiguo wiped his mouth and said in a loud voice, "Qualified, qualified, I will receive the goods." ”
After speaking, with an order, several people began to weigh crabs and oysters with a large scale, Jia Zhiguo also recovered his serious appearance, counted with a notebook, and waited until the crabs and oysters were weighed, Jia Zhiguo took out the money and counted it with Han Mingxiu in person.
The crab was a total of 5,422 catties, and it was sold for 5,964 yuan and 2 yuan, and Han Mingxiu generously erased the odds and only received 5,960 yuan.
The oysters were five thousand one hundred and three catties, and they were sold for four thousand and eighty-two yuan, but Han Mingxiu still wiped the odds and only received four thousand and eighty.
In this way, Han Mingxiu suddenly had an income of 10,000 yuan.
10,000 yuan is definitely a huge amount of money in this era, if it was left in the past, Han Mingxiu would definitely be very satisfied with this money, but after visiting the glass factory today, Han Mingxiu secretly regretted that the goods she promised Jia Zhiguo were too little, if she could produce more, she would be able to make more money and buy more antiques to save.
However, it is man-made.
When Jia Zhiguo and they were pulling the goods, Han Mingxiu left a sentence as if she didn't have anything, her relatives still took the fishing, and she should be able to catch some in the past few days, but I don't know how much she can catch.
When Jia Zhiguo heard this, he immediately said in a good voice, "Big sister, look, are you not grinding at all when you do business with your brother, the goods are delivered, and the money will be given to you in person, right?" ”
Han Mingxiu nodded, "Yes, I'm happy to do business with people like you." ”
Jia Zhiguo smiled, "So, if your relative can still make up a batch of goods, you can still sell it to your brother, and my brother will not treat you badly." ”
Han Mingxiu got off the donkey, "Okay, I think Brother Jia is also a cheerful person, if he can make up for it, he will sell it to you." ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Han Mingxiu happily transported all the antiques in her photo back to the rental house.
Looking at those treasures, Han Mingxiu's mood was really good, these treasures that condensed the wisdom of the Chinese people for thousands of years, she didn't think there were too many.
She secretly decided that she must find an opportunity to sell more things, save more antiques, don't you say that the golden era of antiques in troubled times, this era, is a period of low antique prices, she wants to save as much as possible, keep it for people who can cherish these treasures in the future.
Or, as a family heirloom, it will be passed on to her children and grandchildren, and it will be passed on to her children and grandchildren.
When she finished buying these antiques, Sister He Li's uncle also talked to Sister He Li's eldest brother and second brother about buying a house.
Uncle He didn't say that Sister He Li bought the house, but said that someone else asked him to ask, so he asked them if they sold the house? If you sell it, the price won't hurt them.
Sister He Li's eldest brother and second brother are both people with public offices, and their units have houses, but because they both have houses to live in, they are not considered at all when all units are divided into houses every year, and they have long felt deeply at a loss for this.
At this point, someone buys their house, and of course the brothers are happy to sell it.
Isn't it more suitable than the current one to have the money from the sale of the house that they can own and then live in a house allocated by the public for nothing?
