Chapter 425, Prince Gong's Mansion, Rosewood Throne
"How much food do you think these things can be exchanged for?"
Zheng Li looked at Liu Guangqi expectantly.
"Well, how can I say it, there's nothing wrong with the materials of these things, they're all good, but they're all broken. Do you have anything slightly better?"
Liu Guangqi looked at the red sandalwood furniture in front of him with missing arms and legs, and said with an embarrassed face. There is no problem with the shape and materials of these furniture in front of me, after all, everything in the palace is made by the palace office, and the best materials and workers are used.
It is because of the disrepair that many places are cracked and damaged, which greatly reduces the beauty and value.
"That's right. Then look at how much food this thing is worth."
Seeing that Liu Guangqi was reluctant to accept these old furniture, a trace of disappointment flashed on Zheng Li's face, but she quickly adjusted her emotions, after all, she didn't expect to be able to exchange these rags for food, just asked casually, sorted out the lost emotions, Zheng Li walked to the innermost part of the small warehouse and lifted a rag.
"This is? This is!"
Liu Guangqi stepped forward to take a look, and his eyes widened suddenly, he really didn't expect that he just found a random reason to come to the palace to explore the way, and he could actually meet this kind of baby. I saw that hidden under the rag was actually a throne made of red sandalwood.
Just at a glance, Liu Guangqi was shocked by the depth of the throne in front of him, the entire throne is about one meter three long, about one meter two high, and about ninety deep.
The throne structure takes the shape of three screens, the border is smooth cirrus clouds, the center of the front of the backrest withers a dragon from the sky, the two dragons play with pearls under it, and then the withered rivers and mountains, the true dragon Son of Heaven is in the rivers and mountains, the armrests on both sides wither the cloud dragon pattern, the thin waist withered cloud bat pattern below, the withered lotus petal pattern under the girdle, the four legs and teeth are full of withered cloud dragon pattern, the whole throne is dignified and dignified, showing the royal style.
The throne in front of him can definitely rank second among the thrones that Liu Guangqi has seen, except for the throne in the Forbidden City, this throne is the most domineering. I don't know how many times stronger than the throne that Yuan Shikai made when he ascended the throne.
"It's so beautiful, this can't be Prince Gong's throne?"
Liu Guangqi squatted in front of this throne and affectionately stroked every line of this throne, as if he was caressing the skin of a peerless beauty.
"I don't know, it should be, there should be no one else in the palace who can deserve this throne except him. Although Prince Qing is also a prince, he is still far behind Prince Gong in terms of power, he should not be qualified and dare not use this level of throne."
Zheng Li on the side replied.
"Good thing, how could this stuff be here?"
Liu Guangqi looked at the throne in front of him, his eyes were full of puzzlement, if this kind of thing really existed, it stands to reason that it would have been thrown abroad when it was in the Republic of China, how could it be left here.
"I don't know, I just discovered this throne by accident. In addition, this throne is not without defects, and its right hind leg seems to be cracked. I guess that's why it's stored here."
Zheng Li squatted down and pointed to Liu Guangqi, where the throne had cracked.
"I,"
Seeing the deep crack in the right hind leg of the throne, Liu Guangqi almost burst out with a mouthful of national quintessence, but because of Zheng Li beside him, Liu Guangqi stubbornly held back the last few words.
"It's a terrible thing."
"How much food are you going to trade this chair for?"
After sorting out his emotions, Liu Guangqi asked.
"I don't study antiques, you are a friend of Chaoyang, you say as many catties of grain as you want. I can trust you."
One sentence made Liu Guangqi glance at the woman in front of him. A cultured woman just speaks differently, and without saying a word of bargaining, she raises the value of this throne to the maximum.
"Well, let's do it, I'll give you eight hundred catties, can you see it, don't you feel less, if this thing is intact, then it is definitely not this price, but the crack on its right back is too deep. has seriously affected the value of this throne."
Eight hundred catties of grain is no more, no less, neither will it lose the other party, nor will it make the other party greedy. And Liu Guangqi is not at a loss, although this thing is cracked, but it is not too serious a problem, after all, it is normal for wood furniture to crack, just go back and find someone to repair it.
"Well, do as you say. But can you pack up and collect these things, I really don't know what to do with these things, it's a pity to throw them away, they're all good materials, don't throw them away, take up space, and it's quite expensive to repair."
Zheng Li agreed to Liu Guangqi's price after a little consideration, and then pointed to the scattered table benches on the side.
"Okay, how about I count two hundred catties of grain for you when these things add up."
"Yes"
"Wait a minute, I want to ask if these things are yours, don't if I buy them back, and someone will find me again in two years. Then I'll lose a lot."
Just when the two were about to discuss how to transport these things out, Liu Guangqi suddenly remembered the ownership of these things, in case a few people appeared afterwards and said that these things belonged to the state, then wouldn't he be busy in vain.
"Don't worry, when this house is given to us, the unit leader said that everything in it is ours, whatever we do, and when others ask me, I will sell it to the scrap collectors. You don't have to worry about someone looking for a back account."
"That's good."
"It's been discussed."
After the two came out of the warehouse, Zheng Chaoyang was already waiting at the door.
"Hmm."
Liu Guangqi nodded as if he had nothing to do, but Zheng Li was a little embarrassed.
"In the future, if you don't have enough food at home, go to me, I'll help you, don't go to places like ghost markets anymore, if you let others know, it won't have a good impact on Lao Tan."
Zheng Chaoyang whispered a word to Zheng Li, and then left Zheng Li's house with Liu Guangqi.
"Eh, wait a minute, you didn't say you were going to take me down to see it."
When passing by the cellar, Liu Guangqi saw that Zheng Chaoyang didn't even stop, and hurriedly stopped him. Although there was an unexpected surprise, Liu Guangqi did not forget that he came to the mission today.
"You have to go in and have a look. What's so nice about a cellar?"
"It's nothing pretty, but it's fresh. This place is in the future, and it is an attraction that you can't see if you pay for it. Since you've come here, you can't come in vain, you don't want to unload the mill and kill the donkey, right?"
Liu Guangqi deliberately provoked Zheng Chaoyang.
"Okay, okay, see. Come, Xiao Sun come and help lift this slate."
Seeing Liu Guangqi's unkind eyes, Zheng Chaoyang nodded and called someone to open the stone slab covering the cellar together. Then with a kerosene lamp, the two climbed down together.
After climbing down the ladder for about three or four meters, Liu Guangqi's feet finally stepped on the ground.
"Look"
By the light of a kerosene lamp, Zheng Chaoyang turned on a switch. The light bulb above his head immediately illuminated the dark cellar, and with the help of the light, Liu Guangqi also officially saw the whole cellar.
Yu Qi said that this is a cellar rather than a basement, the shape of the whole cellar is almost the same as the two floors above, it is a long strip, which is divided into dozens of small rooms, because the brightness of the light bulb is not enough, and the corridor of more than 100 meters has no end in sight.
Looking at the cellar in front of him, Liu Guangqi not only had a little scalp tingling, but in such a big place, where was the cellar in the cellar hidden. This magazine is not clearly written, whether it is hidden under the ground like the treasure of Cixi, or hidden behind some wall, it is really head-heading.
"Have you finished reading, let's leave when you're done."
After Zheng Chaoyang took Liu Guangqi around the cellar, he hurriedly urged Liu Guangqi to leave.
"You're in such a hurry, is there a dog chasing you from behind? It's really frustrating, if I come out with you again in the future, I won't be surnamed Liu."
Liu Guangqi glanced at Zheng Chaoyang and returned to the ground along the ladder, he already had a certain understanding of the terrain of the entire cellar, and the next thing to do was to find a place to make a hole through his ability to hit here.
Then use the detector to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the entire cellar, if the cellar in the cellar really stored a large amount of gold and silver, it will definitely not escape the detector's eyes.
However, before that, what Liu Guangqi had to do was to get his hands on the Purple Sandalwood Cloud Dragon Pattern Throne that he had just seen.
"I'll go first, and you can go back slowly."
"Get out of here, you unloading and killing donkeys, I've been bad for eight lifetimes, and I've become friends with you."
"Hadron, I'll use your tricycle. I'll pull something and send it back to you in a moment."
"You want to pull something, what do you pull, tell me, I'll help you pull." You're a college student, how can you do manual work."
"No need, I'll go to that place and not let outsiders in."
"Alright, you can ride away."
"Okay, I'll ask you for a drink when I get back."
After separating from Zheng Chaoyang, Liu Guangqi came to Xizhimen to find Qiangzi who was squatting at the gate of the railway station to pick up goods, and borrowed a tricycle from him.
Then he found a place where no one was, changed into tattered clothes, disguised himself as a tattered appearance, and rode a tricycle to the treasure building of Prince Gong's Mansion. It was very smooth to transport the red sandalwood throne and the furniture with missing arms and legs from King Gong's mansion.

It's going to be because it's not good."
Liu Guangqi touched the little girl's yellow hair and said with concern.
"No, it's just a bad appetite."
The duck smiled awkwardly.
"Do you know yourself, don't think so much when everyone is gone? Look ahead, there are more good men in this world, don't keep staring at a crooked-necked tree."
"What do you say?"
Although Wan Guoying has a trace of affection for Biejia, she has always hidden it in her heart. Now that he was directly picked out by Liu Guangqi, he immediately blushed.
"Rare guest, Doctor Liu"
Just when Liu Guangqi and Wan Guoying were chatting, Wang Mantang had already brought the people in the courtyard to the Hanging Flower Gate.
"Excuse me, Captain Wang. Hello, Dr. Zhou,"
Liu Guangqi greeted the people in the courtyard one by one.
"Hello Mr. Liu."
Zhou Keming smiled and nodded at Liu Guangqi.
"You're too polite, Doctor Zhou, I really can't afford to be your teacher."
"From the beginning, when you heard the Tao, you have successively specialized in arts, even if you are a teacher for a day, you are also a teacher."
"I'm sorry, I just gave you a few lessons in the hospital, that's worthy of a teacher, you still call me by my name, even if it's just calling me Xiao Liu, don't call me a teacher." Otherwise, it would really torment me."
"No, you have to call the teacher."
"Alright, don't worry about that, and that's it, every one of you will call your own way. Don't stand here, come in, Dr. Liu."
Seeing that the two of them kept talking about this little thing, Wang Mantang and his wife stood up to end the topic.
"Duck, hurry up and serve Dr. Liu some food."
After coming to the second courtyard, Liu Guangqi saw a few plates on the stone table in the courtyard, and there were a bunch of bowls around him.
"No, I just ate when I came. Not really."
Looking at the coarse tea and rice on the table, Liu Guangqi refused for a long time, but he was still stuffed with a pair of bowls.
"Duck, you go and fry this bacon."
Looking at the large pile of green vegetable leaves in front of him, Liu Guangqi, who didn't want to take advantage of others, took out two pieces of bacon from his bag and stuffed them into Wang Guoying's arms.
"Doctor Liu, what are you doing here, hurry up and take it back. It's too precious."
Seeing the bacon that Liu Guangqi took out, the people in the courtyard all widened their eyes and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Don't shirk, Captain Wang, I have something to ask you for later, these two pieces of bacon are my deposit."
"No, our family still owes you a favor, if you have anything to do with me, just ask, don't take anything. Doesn't that slap me in the face?"
Saying that, Wang Mantang snatched the bacon from Wang Guoying's arms, and then took it to Liu Guangqi's arms.
"You take it, you have your rules, and I have my rules. If you don't accept it, then I'll leave right now, and I'll ask for your help, and I'll have to ask someone else for help."
With that, Liu Guangqi got up and made a gesture to leave.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'll take it, you sit down."
Seeing that Liu Guangqi was really leaving, Wang Mantang had no choice but to accept the bacon.
"Doctor Liu, tell me, what do you have to do with me, as long as I Wang Mantang can do it, even if I fight for this old life, I will do it for you."
In order to show his sincerity, Wang Mantang patted his chest and promised.
"Ah, no, no, no need to work hard, it's like asking you to help me fix a batch of old furniture."
Looking at Wang Mantang's exaggerated expression, Liu Guangqi hurriedly stopped him. I didn't know this posture, and I thought that Liu Guangqi was going to let him fight.
"That's it, Doctor Liu, then you have found the right person for me, don't worry, I will definitely help you repair things properly, and you can see any faults." Tell me where the things are, and we'll go over after dinner."
Wang Mantang heard that Liu Guangqi was looking for him to repair old furniture
, clapped his chest again.
"Come on, I'll take you there in a moment. But there's one thing I have to warn you about. The material of my furniture is not ordinary wood, it is all red sandalwood, do you have it in stock here?"
Liu Guangqi suddenly thought that in addition to the skilled master who needed to repair these furniture, he also needed to repair the materials used, which was a big problem.
