Chapter 192 Li Ping'an's second venture miscarried
The old man looked at Li Ping'an's expression, tentatively stretched out a finger, and said, "Young man, since you said that this is imitated by celebrities in the past, then I will charge you a hundred yuan, and you can pick it up."
To be honest, this price is not too high. Su Shi's words, whether before the liberation or after the reopening, are very collectible top cultural relics.
But who made the price of cultural relics generally not high now, even if this thing is taken to the cultural relics store in Sijiu City, it will not be sold for a hundred yuan, and it will be given to a dozen or twenty yuan.
This is still the current price, and in a few months, this thing will not be sold for money, if it is discovered by that group of young generals, not only will the thing be burned by them, but people will also have to be cleaned up.
"Uncle, I'll give you a thorough explanation, even if this thing is taken to the cultural relics store in Sijiu City, it can be sold for more than ten yuan, and the hundred yuan you said is impossible, if you don't believe it, you can open a letter of introduction and go to Sijiu City with me to sell it yourself" Li Ping'an handed back the wooden box to the old man, shook his head, and said in a flat tone.
The old man carefully observed Li Ping'an's expression, and after finding that it didn't look like a fake, he hesitated for a while, and then spoke again: "Young man, more than a dozen yuan is too little, you add more, I see that you really like it, as long as the price you offer is right, I will sell you."
After thinking about it, Li Ping'an still stretched out two fingers: "Uncle, I can give twenty yuan, if you want, I'll give you money now."
"In this way, you add ten more pieces, and I will give you this lettering"
"20 is the most, this word is taken to the cultural relics store, and people only give a dozen yuan"
The old man and the woman smiled dryly: "Little comrade, the dozen yuan you said is the price that people charged, if people want to sell it, they will definitely not sell it at the original price."
After some bargaining between the two, this Lan Tingxuan copied by Su Shi was finally sold at a price of 25 yuan, and both of them were elated, and they both felt that they had taken advantage.
After the money and goods were cleared, Li Ping'an left here with a wooden box and walked to a corner where no one was around, Li Ping'an directly received the things in the warehouse and swaggered out of the corner.
Follow the road you came from, and return to the bustling street just now.
Back and forth, it was almost time to eat at this time, and there were not many pedestrians on the street that was still bustling just now.
The things sold on the street, I have just seen them, they are all local specialties, mushrooms and walnuts or something, this is not a pigeon market, there is no local food license, even if you want to buy it, you can't buy it.
Walking slowly along this street, Li Ping'an observed the nearby corners, Li Ping'an wanted to find the ticket sellers here, and wanted to buy some local specialties through them to bring back.
There may not be a pigeon market in a small city, but there will definitely be ticket sellers, and this profession is a profession that exists wherever you go in the era of the planned economy.
After walking a short distance, I saw a man standing against the wall in a corner of the street, wearing a shabby military coat, his hands in his sleeves, a bullshit hat on his head, and a scarf around his neck, covering his whole face tightly, revealing only a pair of eyes.
The person in this dress, don't think about it, is 100% a ticket seller.
Li Ping'an looked left and right, walked quickly to the ticket seller's side, and whispered: "Comrade, I want to buy something, I don't know if you have a way here."
The ticket seller raised her head, looked Li Ping'an up and down with her only eyes that were leaking outside, nodded at Li Ping'an, made a look, and turned to the side.
"This guy is quite careful" Li Ping'an followed the filmmaker and walked in, muttering quietly.
The ticket seller led Li Ping'an into a small alley next to him, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he said: "I have all the tickets, just say what tickets you want."
Hearing the voice of the ticket seller, Li Ping'an looked over curiously, but he didn't expect that this ticket seller was still a woman, and women were rare in the ticket seller industry.
"That's the case, I'm here on a business trip, I want to buy some local souvenirs to bring back, the amount is a bit large, if you have a way, I can barter directly" Li Ping'an didn't talk nonsense, and directly explained his intentions.
Finally came to the Northeast for a trip, Li Ping'an must buy some local products and give them back, Wang Yangzhi, Wan Tongsheng, Chen Youfu, Li Huaide, his own old Taishan and so on, these people are not allowed to send a special product of one or twenty catties, plus their own family eats for a year, this amount is not small.
How much can you buy from a ticket seller, and it costs money to buy something for thirty or forty catties, so it is better to barter with them directly, which not only saves money, but also consumes the grain and meat in the warehouse.
The excess materials exchanged, you can also go to the pigeon market to exchange some money to spend, the risk of reselling food in the pigeon market is too high, Li Ping'an does not dare, but it is no problem to resell some native products, the output of local specialties is large, as long as it is not tons and tons of upside-down, basically no one cares about you.
Farmers near the suburbs of Sijiu City, whenever the wild mushrooms and walnuts in the mountains are ripe, the whole village goes up to the mountains to pick up mountain goods. After picking them up, they dare to carry mountain goods into the city to set up stalls to sell in broad daylight, as long as they don't openly sell in crowded places, the public security will not care about them.
After listening to Li Ping'an's words, the ticket seller was a little angry, and said coldly: "You came from other places, what can you have in your hands, don't cross me, I can snatch a woman from a man, naturally I have two brushes."
"I have 300 catties of rice and 200 catties of pork, you see how many things you can exchange, give me a number, let's trade here at night" Li Ping'an didn't care about the tone of the ticket seller, and said lightly.
Listening to Li Ping'an's determined tone, the ticket seller stared closely at Li Ping'an's eyes, and Li Ping'an looked at her without giving in.
After a stalemate, it was the ticket seller who took the lead in speaking: "How can I believe that what you said is true"
Li Ping'an didn't talk nonsense, he took out twenty yuan directly from the warehouse, raised his hand in the air, and shook it at the ticket seller: "I can give you a deposit of twenty yuan first, and if I can't get the goods out at night, I will use this money to compensate for your loss, what do you think?" ”
The ticket seller bowed his head and was silent for a while, then looked up and said, "I believe in you, but your business is too big for me to eat."
"You can contact your peers, you should be able to eat this business together, right?" Li Ping'an opened his mouth to help make suggestions.
The ticket seller smiled bitterly, but still shook his head: "You are from other places, you don't know our local situation, our Gaizhou is too small, and there are not many ticket sellers in the county, you want too much, even if the ticket sellers in the county are combined, they can't do your business."
After listening to the words of the ticket seller, Li Ping'an was stunned on the spot, before coming to find the ticket seller, Li Ping'an didn't dare to take out too many goods, for fear that the ticket seller here in Gaizhou would not be able to eat it.
Thinking of only taking out 500 catties of materials and exchanging a little less, according to the black market price of 2 cents per catty of rice and a catty of pork, a total of 260 yuan. Even if a ticket seller can't eat it, the ticket seller can contact his peers and eat it no matter what, who knows that this is the case.
After being stunned for a while, Li Ping'an quickly reacted, smiled helplessly, looked at the ticket seller again and said, "Comrade, you contact your peers to see how much you can eat, give me a number, let's change it"
This time, the ticket seller was silent for a long time, and Li Ping'an did not urge, lit a cigarette and waited slowly.
"I can eat all three hundred catties of rice, and I can eat fifty catties of pork, what do you think?" the ticket seller mentally calculated and quickly gave an answer.
It's all here, no matter what, you have to change some supplies to go back, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, it's also meat! It's just that his own business plan, before it started again, it has been declared a miscarriage.
A total of 110 yuan of things, keep it for yourself to eat, plus you have to give it away after you go back, and the rest of the things are not guilty of going to the pigeon market by yourself, so keep it and eat it slowly.
"Okay, how much can I exchange these supplies for?"
"It's hard to say, I'll convert it into a hundred yuan for you, and I'll give you a hundred yuan of goods when the time comes."
Yes, this is ten dollars less than the price I calculated before.
"In this case, I can only give you a deposit of ten yuan, you can get more mountain goods, and besides, aren't you here by the sea, you can also get some seafood"
"Yes, it's 9 o'clock tonight, it's still this place, and we'll meet and trade then."
After the two discussed the trading time, they dispersed and left.
Coming out of the alley, now that it is time to eat, Li Ping'an casually found a restaurant for lunch, and was ready to go back to the guest house in the afternoon to lie down.
It's cold outside, and there's no place to shop, so it's better to lie down in the bed of the guest house and read a book.
After eating, he returned to the door of the room in the guest house, the door of the room was locked from the inside, and Li Ping'an knocked on the door. Zhang Youcai's vigilant voice came from inside, "Who?" ”
"I, Li Ping'an"
After Li Ping'an finished speaking, there was immediately a sound of footsteps inside, and soon, the door was opened by Zhang Youcai from the inside.
Glancing at the room, there was still no figure of Zhang and Huang inside, Li Ping'an opened his mouth and asked, "Haven't the two of them come back yet?" ”
"Nope"
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? You go to dinner first, I'll look at the bag."
"Okay, I'll eat and come back after dinner, you watch for a while"
After Zhang Youcai left, Li Ping'an took off his clothes and lay down on the bed, picked up a book and read it, as for the safety of Zhang and Huang, Li Ping'an was not worried at all.
These two are old rivers and lakes, two big men, and they still have guns on them, what can happen in broad daylight.
In the afternoon, Li Ping'an and Zhang Youcai were lying on the bed reading a book, Zhang Huang and the two were carrying large bags of things, and the two happily pushed the door and walked in.
It seems that I went out in the morning and got a lot of good things.
