Chu Xiangqian knew that ordinary Yuan Datou was not worth much even in the future, but the commemorative coin was different.

Holding two silver dollars, two voices of +2 and +2 gold scrolls came in his head in a row, knowing that this Yuan Datou was indeed as Liu Guangtian's classmate said, and he cherished a lot more than the ordinary version.

But it's not that expensive.

He put away the silver dollar and threw two cigarettes to the two of them.

After ordering it, he said, "In the future, if you bring me good things, I will invite you to eat fish, and even meat, do you know?" ”

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang nodded hurriedly.

At night, on the other side of the street, I had eaten shredded radish and stewed fish, and I was naturally convinced of Chu Xiangqian's words.

After sending Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang away, Chu Xiangqian held two silver dollars in his hand and played with them for a while.

The way of this kid Liu Guangtian is really a bit wild.

I can always meet a few classmates or friends who have good things hidden in their homes.

It's just 4 big fish for 2 Yuan big heads, compared with the antiques from the old man of the entrusted store palace, it doesn't seem to be worth it.

Four fish, if handed over to the old man Gong, are enough to exchange for a good piece of porcelain.

After thinking about it, he still planned to let Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang continue to do this, the size is also a channel, maybe when the two of them will meet the second Nan Guangsheng.

remembered that he got 4 paintings of Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings from Nan Guangsheng.

1 piece of bamboo and stone of Zhengbanqiao.

3 paintings of Song Huizong Zhao Ji flowers and birds, auspicious cranes and calligraphy.

There is also 1 calligraphy and painting by Wen Zhengming.

I couldn't help but look forward to it.

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang saw that Chu Xiangqian was fine, so they asked in a low voice, "Brother, after Jiefang and I go home, the family will definitely make a fuss about the meat and vegetables at noon."

So I discussed it with Jiefang in the afternoon, and I would like to ask you if Jiefang and I get copper coins, silver dollars, or other antiques from our family.

Can I send it to you?

If you like it, just give us something and don't make us lose money. ”

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, the silver dollar was silver after all.

This gold and silver is in the hearts of the people, that is, money, and it is always a bit of an eyesore and taboo.

"You know the silver dollar yourself, don't tell anyone else. Copper coins, calligraphy and paintings, and porcelain can be asked to the family. As for the price? ”

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while, "I will look at the copper coins, and the calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain will be given at 15% of the price of the entrusted store." And I only give game, not money, understand? ”

I traded with the old man Gong, and the antiques such as calligraphy and paintings were calculated according to the price of 3% of the entrusted store, and then the price of meat doubled, according to 2 yuan a catty.

But if he told Yan Lao that the meat in his hand was 1 times more expensive than the pigeon market, he would immediately feel that he had suffered a big loss.

It is better to say at the beginning that only 15% of the bid of the consignment store will be charged.

The Yan family thinks they can sell it, so they sell it.

felt that he was losing money, so he didn't lack his family, and he got three melons and two dates from outside.

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang nodded hurriedly.

If you don't give money, it's not a sale. It's a mutual adjustment between residents, and it's okay if it's known.

After returning home, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang were immediately surrounded by their parents and brothers.

Yan Laojiao even sniffed Yan Jiefang's side, and knew that Yan Jiefang didn't come back for dinner at night, it turned out that he was drinking.

When it came time to inquire about the meat dishes in the street canteen at noon, Yan Jiefang hurriedly told the head of the administrative office that he and Liu Guangtian would not allow him and Liu Guangtian to take the meat dishes home.

This time, the two suddenly fried the pot.

The two families have been looking forward to it for a long time, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang brought this meat dish back to add food to everyone.

But the street is not allowed to take it, so it means that the benefits are completely occupied by Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang!

Liu Haizhong just asked Liu Guangtian carefully for a long time, and he could only sulk, but he didn't fight with the stick as before.

As for copper coins, calligraphy and paintings, and other antiques.

There is no way in calligraphy, painting, porcelain bangs, but he is a level 6 blacksmith, and he really knows a lot of people, and he has a way to get copper coins.

Even the rolling mills themselves are big consumers of copper.

Liu Haizhong thought about it, looked at the alarm clock again, saw that the time was only a little more than 8 o'clock, said hello to the second aunt, and actually put on a scarf and hat and went out.

Yan Fugui's side is lively.

Not only did the old Yan couple feel that they were taken advantage of by their second son, but the eldest son Yan Jiecheng, the third son Yan Jiekuang and the youngest daughter Yan Jiedi all wanted to eat meat.

If Yan Jiefang didn't give it, he would have to lose money.

Yan Jiefang is not stupid, he and Liu Guangtian have already discussed countermeasures, and Chu Xiangqian also answered questions.

"Dad, I won't be allowed to take back the lunch meal, that's what the leader of the administrative office said.

Not to mention me and Liu Guangtian, even Brother Chu would not offend the leaders of other people's offices for this matter.

However, I didn't get my lunch back, and I knew it was my problem.

So, now I will give you a way to make money, which is considered to make up for it, do you want to listen? ”

Yan Fugui's family's eyes lit up suddenly, they are definitely the most active people in this courtyard when it comes to making money.

Yan Fugui pulled Yan Jiefang to sit down, and asked with a smile, "Tell me quickly, what benefits did Xiao Chu give you?" ”

Yan Jiefang was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that his father was his father, and he didn't say anything, so he guessed a rough idea.

casually told Nan Guangsheng that he used more than a dozen copper coins to exchange for 5 catties of white noodles.

Yan Jiefang is lying.

At the beginning, Liu Guangtian said that he would give him 5 yuan to help buy more than a dozen copper coins in Nan Guangsheng's hand.

But after thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian only promised to give 10 catties of white noodles.

And Liu Guangtian asked for 2 catties as a benefit fee, so Nan Guangsheng got 8 catties.

But when it came to Yan Jiefang's mouth, it was 5 catties.

However, at that time, white noodles were 4 cents and 5 cents a pound in the pigeon market, and now, it will cost 5 or 6 cents.

And things like copper coins, in turn, have to be lowered, after all, the more rare things to eat, the lower the value of copper coins and other antiques.

Yan Fugui ignored Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang, and his little daughter who was sad because of her young age.

After thinking about it, he got up and went into his bedroom, holding a Yuan big head, and planned to go to Chu Qianqian's side to ask about the price.

Yan Jiefang was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that he didn't mention the silver dollar, and his father actually took a silver dollar to find Brother Chu.

His heart suddenly became anxious, for fear that Chu Xiangqian would misunderstand him, so he pulled Yan Fugui and said, "Dad, Brother Chu said that he didn't want silver dollars, saying that he was afraid of trouble." ”

Yan Fugui was stunned for a moment, then sighed and nodded, "Don't look at the silver dollar is not allowed to circulate now, but Xiao Chu's scruples are right." ”

turned around and went back to the bedroom, found four copper coins, and then went to find Chu Xiangqian.

Yan Fugui has studied in a private school and is a primary school teacher, and his knowledge in some aspects is much higher than that of Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai.

After copper coins and silver dollars were abolished, for a period of time, they were much lower than copper and silver prices, and people like Yan Fugui would naturally lower their prices and even put some prostitutes at home.

For this reason, he also specially asked some teachers and seniors who knew antiques.

Although he didn't learn to be a teacher, he was also a person who knew a little about antiques.

It's a pity that his family even has a problem with eating, and he has no intention of specializing in antiques.

When they arrived at Chu Xiangqian's house, the two exchanged politeness for a while, and Yan Fugui put 4 copper coins and a Yuan Datou on the table.

Chu Xiangqian didn't talk nonsense, he reached out and picked it up, and listened to the +1+1 voice in his head.

"Three masters, 4 copper coins and 4 cents, I'll give you 2 yuan for this silver dollar, how about it?"

Yan Fugui hurriedly shook his head, "Silver dollars are sold for 2 yuan 5 outside, and my four copper coins are all good things, if I don't have 1 yuan each, I will lose a lot." ”

Chu shrugged forward and put the copper coin in his hand back on the table, "Then you keep it for yourself." ”

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian didn't want it directly, Yan Fugui hurriedly smiled, and the two finally talked for a while.

Chu Xiangqian put away the copper coins and silver dollars, "Third master, I won't give you the money, how about giving you a 3-catty pheasant?" ”

Yan Fugui silently calculated, take the three-pound pheasant home, feed more wheat bran, and sell it in the small pigeon market near here tomorrow, maybe it can be sold for 3 yuan 5.

It's just that in a few seconds, he reacted again, the pigeon market in Lama Temple has been wiped out, before the Chinese New Year, where do people dare to come out to do business.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and came up with an idea, "Third master, in addition to being the head of the public security section now, I am also the head of the street canteen. In the future, if you catch a fish, or catch a hare or pheasant outside the city, you can go to the streets.

However, the fish is divided into sizes, one to three cents.

Pheasant hare 1 yuan a catty, how about it? ”

Yan Fugui was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red with envy and jealousy.

I have worked for nearly 20 years, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I also worked in Hongxing Primary School for 10 years, but in the end, let alone cadres, the salary is only 30 yuan 5.

Just past the poverty line of 5 yuan per capita.

How long has it been since Chu Qianqian worked? Not only does the salary be 5 or 60 yuan, but he also became a cadre at a young age, and even that's not counting, he actually served as the canteen squad leader.

Is there any reason for this?

But no matter how jealous and unwilling he was in his heart, Yan Fugui didn't dare to show it.

One could not afford to offend Chu Qianqian before, and now he can't be offended.

Second, Chu Xiangqian said that if he catches a fish in the future, he can send it to the street for money.

This is much safer than going to Pigeon City, not to mention whether the second son can enter the street as a temporary worker or apprentice, it all depends on Chu Qianqian's words.

After calming down, Yan Fugui thought about it and couldn't help but come up with an idea.

After complimenting him, he whispered, "Xiao Chu, why don't you help my family liberate and get a temporary worker on the street, and you don't have to pay back the hundred yuan you borrowed from me, how about it?" ”

Chu Xiangqian just wanted to nod, but suddenly reacted.

I borrowed money based on real skills, why should I pay it back?

And after thinking about it a little, I guessed Yan Fugui's thoughts.

"That's not good, we agreed before, take Jiefang to help by my side, and let him eat on the street at noon, which is considered to pay you back 5 yuan a month.

You have to pay attention to the rules of this life, and you have to do it if you say it is good. I kept the lunch that would allow liberation and broad daylight on the street for 21 months. ”

Yan Fugui glanced at Chu Qianqian, knowing that this kid had guessed his calculations.

I borrowed 100 yuan from Chu Xiangqian to let Jiefang have a lunch on the street, thinking that there would be meat dishes at both ends of the street canteen for three days.

If you take it home, you'll definitely earn it.

But if it all goes into Yan Jiefang's belly, Yan Jiefang will take advantage, but the family will lose money.

So, just use the 100 yuan to find Chu Xiangqian to buy a job as a temporary worker.

At that time, Yan Jiefang's lunch will still be available, and he will be able to get a salary of 10 yuan or 11 yuan.

But according to Chu Xiangqian's hint, the 100 yuan is the money to buy lunch.

If you want to be a temporary worker, you have to give him money.

Looking at this, it will cost another 100 yuan.

And this kid used to make money in the name of borrowing money, and now he must be borrowing money to cover it up.

It is equivalent to spending 200 yuan before and after for the work of a temporary worker.

At that time, in order to keep his second son's job as a temporary worker, he had to write to him every month, and he had already returned the receipts of 5 yuan and 8 yuan.

Otherwise, he would offend Chu Xiangqian, he wanted to dismiss a temporary worker, it really shouldn't be too easy.

Yan Fugui suddenly felt that he was no longer the most calculating person in this courtyard.

He Chu Xiangqian is the existence of blue out of blue and better than blue.

Chu Xiangqian saw that Yan Fugui obviously had the intention of retreating, and said with a smile, "Third master, when Jiefang becomes a temporary worker, then he will be the same as other colleagues on the street."

is a member of the street, so the food he makes at noon can be brought home with him.

And there is a salary of ten or even twelve dollars a month. In a year and a half, I will earn back all the money I have paid.

Three masters, this kind of good thing can't be found with a lantern. If you don't want it, then I can only go to the Jiang family kid in the backyard, or the Zhao family kid in the front yard. ”

"Don't, don't, don't", Yan Fugui knew that Chu Xiangqian was right.

Gritting his teeth, "I'll go back and discuss with my family." ”

Chu Xiangqian smiled and nodded, "Then you have to be early, or I'll go to sleep." ”

Yan Fugui nodded with a smile, and held a family meeting when he went home.

After saying that, Yan Fugui's meaning is very simple, if Yan Jiefang pays all his wages in the next two years, he will pay another 100 yuan.

Yan Jiefang calculated a little, and knew that in the long run, he would not suffer a loss.

But after thinking about it, why did I ask my father to borrow this hundred yuan?

went directly to Chu Xiangqian to borrow it, and then repaid him 8.34 yuan every month, and paid it off in one year.

Even if you give an extra month as interest, it is only 108.34 yuan.

Compared with my father's 240 yuan for two years, the asking price of 120 yuan a year is more than ten yuan lower.

As for the 100 yuan he gave to Chu Xiangqian before, he could take the lunch meal home.

Anyway, the food is brought back, and you, as a parent, can't eat one bite less yourself.

When Yan Fugui and the three mothers heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded.

How can his second son be so calculating?

Yan Jiecheng interjected, "Second brother, he Chu Xiangqian just bought the East Wing, where does he have the money to lend you?" ”

Yan Jiefang smiled, "Why should I borrow 100 directly?" Can't you tell my brother Chu that he helped me get a job as a temporary worker, and I will give him 8 yuan and 4 cents every month for the next year, and once I give it, it will be 13 months? ”

Yan Fugui glared at Yan Jiecheng, and secretly scolded the boss for being brainless, and it was better for the second child to be calculating.

"Okay, I'll lend you 100, you pay me back 110, and take home all the lunch in the street canteen in the future."

After speaking, he actually asked Yan Jiefang to write an IOU.

Yan Jiefang also saw it very clearly, Chu Xiangqian was not necessarily willing to let himself empty the white wolf, and Yueyue would return him 8 yuan 4.

And if you do that, you might get into trouble.

It's better to charge 100 yuan at the market price at one time.

When Yan Fugui entered Chu Xiangqian's house, he actually saw Liu Haizhong sitting in the position where he was sitting before.

And there was something on the table covered with a curtain.

Yan Fugui sighed, and secretly said that he should have thought that Chu Xiangqian would pay attention to liberation, and naturally he would not let go of his bangs.

"Lao Liu, it's okay if you are here, it just so happens that we will help Guangtian and Jiefang to get the work of temporary workers together."

The meaning of Yan Fugui's words is very simple, he and Liu Haizhong will give money together, and he will not be afraid that Chu Xiangqian's words will not count in the future.

But I didn't want my bangs to be covered with a rag on the table, but my bangs spent 10 yuan from a friend and got 40 copper coins.

Seeing this, Chu Xiangqian thought about it for a while, and knew that Yan Fugui had misunderstood.

After simply asking Yan Fugui to sit down, he explained to Liu Haizhong.
