Chapter 9 Sincerity 2
It is said that Xu Xiaoqiang came to the black market first, and the black market is on the side of Zhengyangmen, not too far from Zhengyangmen, under the roots of the imperial city.
It is a relatively large market, with antiques and farmers' markets.
There are vegetables, eggs, chickens, ducks and fish, but not too much.
The price is more expensive than that supplied by the supply and marketing cooperatives with tickets, but the advantage is that there are no tickets, which are specially prepared for rich people.
Xu Xiaoqiang didn't dare to say that he was rich, but he was a little better than others, and his father and mother sent money back every month.
With an extra income, life will naturally be better, and he carries a small canvas bag, the kind of military bag.
It's very sturdy and durable, but it's a little old after a long time, but it doesn't affect the back on the body, let alone the loading of things.
In order to have a number in mind before buying something again, in other words, you must first know how much money you have in your pocket.
Around the corner of the market, where there was no one, he took out the money in his pocket and counted it.
It was found that there were two ten-dollar bills, one five-dollar one, and two two-dollar ones, one piece, and some gross bills, and even a few small one-cent and two-cent notes.
All add up to 30 yuan 06 gross 8 points, which is not a small amount, and you can buy a lot of things in those days.
The chicken black market is only a few cents a pound, eggs are a few cents a pound, meat is a few cents a pound, and other vegetables are cheaper.
Back then, the money was really valuable, two dollars could buy a big chicken, one dollar could buy a bunch of eggs, not to mention vegetables.
But even if it's cheap, Xu Xiaoqiang can't buy too much, first, he can't take it away, and second, he didn't have a refrigerator back then, and if he takes it home for too long, it will break.
Xu Xiaoqiang came to the market, and the first time he came to the antique market was not to buy vegetables or meat, but to the antique market.
I'm going to try my luck, and if I can pick up a leak or something, it's not in vain.
In 1953, ordinary objects in the antique market were also relatively precious in later generations.
At least many things at that time were from the previous dynasty, and even ordinary imitations had a certain value in a few decades later.
In short, it is more valuable than the imitation stuff after the 80s.
But Xu Xiaoqiang obviously doesn't want to buy ordinary imitations, what he wants is to pick up leaks, even if he can't pick up Ming Qinghua, it's good to encounter a JDZ official kiln in the Kangxi period.
Of course, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, even in 1953, to pick up a real treasure in the antique market, it is impossible to find.
I can't say that there isn't, but it's by no means all over the streets, and even at that time, there were people who knew the goods, and there were many collectors in Sijiu City, and they were waiting to pick up the leaks every day.
I look forward to collecting good things.
With their gang of people, if you want to encounter really good things in the antique market, you can only fight for luck and, of course, your own eyesight.
Xu Xiaoqiang swayed around the entire antique market, the time was still early, he was not in a hurry.
After crossing for the first time to the antique market, I found that the whole antique market is still quite large, along an alley entrance, along the street side of a lot of stalls, all kinds of objects.
It can be described as dazzling, antique, and distinctive.
Xu Xiaoqiang walked forward one by one, although he had the mentality of picking up leaks, but he didn't expect to really have this kind of good luck.
After all, this kind of thing is hard to find.
He wandered around here without mentioning it.
It is said that Lou Xiao'e was in the same place for a while, and suddenly got on the bicycle ruthlessly and rode desperately to the house.
It was snorting along the way, like going crazy.
When she got home, even the sweat came out, she parked her bicycle in the yard, wiped the sweat while entering the house, and said to her father, who was sitting on an antique chair reading the newspaper:
"Dad, if you don't agree to my conditions, I won't live, I really can't live."
After speaking, she threw herself directly on the table, and cried wow-wow, crying very fiercely, tears running down her cheeks, like pearls with broken threads.
Lou Xiao'e's father, the capitalist Boss Lou, was startled, I don't know what happened to my precious girl?
How did this suddenly happen?
It wasn't long before I went out, and when I came back, I cried loudly, and said that I couldn't live anymore, was this stimulated?
So he hurriedly put down the newspaper in his hand, rubbed his hands a little anxiously, and wanted to ask his daughter what was wrong, but he didn't know how to open his mouth for a while.
At this time, Mrs. Lou came out of the back room, Mrs. Lou is a relatively kind woman, usually very good to the children, somewhat pampered.
Now that he suddenly found that the youngest daughter of the family was like this, he panicked directly, rushed over and hugged Lou Xiao'e's head, and asked with a trembling voice:
"Girl, what's going on? How can this be the case with the good end? ”
But after she asked for a long time, Lou Xiao'e didn't respond at all except for continuing to cry.
She neither looked up nor spoke, but still cried, even more fiercely, and had a feeling that she was about to die when she cried.
Of course, she did it on purpose.
In order to achieve her own goals, in order to be with Xu Xiaoqiang, Lou Xiao'e was out of the way this time.
She felt that her parents loved her very much, so she came up with a trick and planned to force her parents to comply.
Girls are often like this, for the sake of their beloved, they will rush forward desperately, and there is a saying that if you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back.
Looking at Lou Xiao'e's posture, she will not turn back if she hits the south wall.
The more she cried, the more sad she became, and she turned her parents around in a hurry.
Boss Lou rubbed his hands together and circled in the room, and the expression on his face was a state of lovelessness.
Mrs. Lou was even more anxious, and in a hurry, she directly held her daughter's face, and while helping her wipe the tears on her face, she cried:
"Girl, what's wrong with you? Can you say something? It's a rush to death. ”
Mrs. Lou said twice in a hurry, and she was about to get into the house, Lou Xiao'e finally rolled her eyes, the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and she said with a heartbroken look:
"Mom, I really can't live anymore, I love Xu Xiaoqiang, but you don't help me, he just told me that if our family doesn't do what he says, he won't marry me.
Because their parents' conditions are there, they can't pass the scrutiny at all, and we can't even be together even if we want to. So, Mom and Dad, what do you think I should do? ”
"What?" Boss Lou jumped up when he heard it, isn't this obviously forcing himself?
How so?
He stood there motionless, forgetting to even turn around, his eyes fixed on his daughter, looking at her very sad little appearance.
If you want to scold her, isn't it just a man? There are no three-legged toads in this world, but there are many two-legged men.
He doesn't marry you, find a better one, for a man, as for?
can see her daughter crying, looking like she is about to live.
Boss Lou, who is usually high up and has a rock-like heart, can't say anything except sighing...
And Mrs. Lou accompanied her daughter, crying tears again and again...
