Chu Xiangqian took out 200 yuan from his pocket and said to Qin Huairu, "Two hundred yuan for four paintings by the same painter yesterday." ”

Qin Huairu was stunned and asked in surprise, "That painting is so valuable?" ”

Chu Xiangqian knew that Li Keran's paintings were indeed very valuable in the future, but what could really be auctioned at a high price was the treasures of Li Keran's later years.

It's hard to say what the market price of last night's painting is.

"Mr. Li studied under Mr. Shiraishi, and his paintings may not be worth much now, but they will definitely rise in the future. Now that I've encountered it, there's no reason to let it go. Besides, I don't lack the 200 dollars. ”

Qin Huairu immediately thought of Chu Xiangqian getting a wild boar at every turn, and he really wouldn't be short of money in his hands.

And that's just what I heard.

Secretly, I don't know how many wild boars this family has sold.

took the money, swallowed his saliva, and said in a somewhat reluctant tone, "Why don't I say 100 yuan to buy four paintings first?" ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed when he heard this, grabbed Qin Huairu's pretty face and pinched it, "I only need four paintings, and it's up to you to buy them." The extra money will be given to you. ”

Qin Huairu was overjoyed, but also realized that Chu Xiangqian had the imperative to win those paintings.

Otherwise, why would it be 200 yuan as soon as you make a move?

This is worth 7 or 8 months' wages for many people.

However, Qin Huairu is still a little kind in the end, in her eyes, Chu Xiangqian said that paintings are not necessarily valuable.

It's better to keep some money in hand.

If you don't know when, an extra 100 yuan can save your life.

"Then if I buy all the paintings in my hand surnamed Chen, what is the reward?"

Chu Xiangqian immediately guessed that there should be a lot of Mr. Li's paintings in that person's hand.

But it is also possible that it is the work of other people, or even the works of people who are not famous now or in the future.

After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt that as long as he received another painting by Mr. Li, he would actually make a lot of money.

smiled and said to Qin Huairu, "How about rewarding you for not being able to get out of bed every day?" ”

Qin Huairu's face turned red, and Chu glanced forward coquettishly, "You can't be serious, don't think about that all day long?" ”

Chu shrugged forward, "Lao Tzu is not short of money, he does not lack the ability to make money, and he does not plan to go through officialdom." If I don't want to be a woman, then I might as well be a monk.

Besides, I don't know who it is, when I was working out yesterday, I was holding me back. ”

Qin Huairu's face turned even redder now, and her heart began to itch, grabbing Chu Xiangqian's arm and twisting it a few times.

"You're going to die, all that kind of thing is said."

Chu Qianqian pressed Qin Huairu's hand, and then pulled the person into his arms.

I had a hearty morning exercise.

At half past eight in the morning, Chu Xiangqian was comfortably eating and drinking millet porridge, eating steamed buns and slices of meat.

Qin Huairu's face was full of ruddy and tired after morning exercise, and he drank porridge in small sips, while looking at Chu Qianqian with resentment from time to time.

Chu Xiangqian was a little embarrassed, he did overdo it just now, and he was busy picking up a piece of meat on the table with chopsticks and putting it in Qin Huairu's bowl.

"I'm tired and sweaty this morning, eat more meat to make up for it."

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as she said it, Qin Huairu became angry.

But before the words came out of her mouth, Chu Xiangqian quickly picked up a piece of half-fat and half-lean meat again and put it directly to her mouth.

Qin Huairu could only bite the piece of meat with hatred, and then chewed the piece of meat in his mouth fiercely as if he was biting Chu forward.

Chu Xiangqian has always been able to bend and stretch, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll pay attention next time." If you can't get in the car, then go back to your parents' house tomorrow. ”

Qin Huairu wanted to rest for a day, but thinking that this matter could not be delayed, he could only think that when he took the car for a while, he would simply get on the bus later and stand all the way back to the commune.

When Chu Xiangqian heard that she wanted to stand all the way and take the car back, he smiled embarrassedly, thought about it and said, "I'll stew you a bowl of ejiao, that thing nourishes blood, nourishes qi, and rejuvenates the face, which is the most suitable for you women." ”

Ejiao Qin Huairu has naturally heard of it, but let alone eaten, I have never seen it.

As soon as he heard that Chu Xiangqian was boiling ejiao for himself, the dissatisfaction in his heart suddenly disappeared.

The two of them grinded and chirped for a while, Qin Huairu saw this Chu Qianqian take out a box of ejiao, put a piece into the casserole, put it on the stove, and the young man boiled it slowly, and then he left the yard satisfied.

As for Ejiao, I naturally waited until I came back in the afternoon to drink it.

I first went to the neighborhood committee to report, and then found someone to help complete today's work, and then took the car to the commune.

Chu Xiangqian went out and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

I didn't go to school, so I waited for Jiang Erzhuo, the Zhao family boy and Xu Damao, who were at home, to go fishing on two bicycles.

After arriving at Houhai, Xu Damao asked with a puzzled expression, "Forward, didn't you say that you went fishing in a farther place, why did you come here?" ”

Chu Xiangqian glanced at this kid, it was half of the morning now, and it would take three or four hours to run far and go back and forth, and it wouldn't be long before it would be dark.

"Try it first, if you can catch it here, why do you have to go fishing dozens of kilometers away? Besides, Silly Zhu still has to go to work today, just if we run so far, isn't that cheap kid? ”

Jiang Er was stunned and the Zhao family kid hurriedly agreed, in their hearts, what Chu Xiangqian said was the truth.

When Xu Damao heard that he couldn't be cheap and stupid, it was a hundred approvals.

While packing up the fishing rod and the like, he asked again, "By the way, what kind of prey did you catch in the mountains yesterday?" ”

"Bad luck, plus Da Zhuang and the red girl didn't bring it back, I went around and around, and I didn't even touch a pheasant or hare."

After hearing this, Xu Damao not only did not laugh at him, but nodded and said, "The last time I went to the countryside to show a movie, I heard that after the beginning of spring, in all villages not far from the mountains, basically all the old and young went into the mountains to find food.

With so many people going into the mountains, the game in the mountains is either caught and eaten, or they have to run deep into the mountains. You've only been in the mountains for a day, and it's normal that you don't touch your prey. ”

Chu Xiangqian thought about it and felt that Xu Damao was right, I heard that during the three-year difficult period, many mountain tree roots were dug up, so that the ecological cultivation in many places took many years before it slowly recovered.

Chu Xiangqian didn't cheat this time, but he also asked the Jiang family boy and the Zhao family boy to dig up a lot of earthworms and chop them up for nesting.

Relying on advanced fishing skills, in two hours in the morning, I actually caught 6 fish weighing one or two catties.

Xu Damao on the side, looking at it is called envy.

Just as he was about to ask Chu Xiangqian for advice, he saw an old man who came over quietly and squatted beside Chu Xiangqian to look at the fish in the iron bucket.

"Young man, do you want to change?"

Chu Xiangqian nodded indifferently, "Uncle, look at this." ”

The old man looked at the bucket carefully for a while, and then said, "I see that you should have about 10 catties in this bucket, and I will exchange 6 catties of food stamps with you, how about it?" ”

Chu Qianqian knew that this old man definitely had a background, otherwise at the end of the year, who would be willing to exchange food stamps for fish to eat?

Then I was secretly surprised in my heart, has the food stamps gone up so much?

Looking back, he thought about Xu Damao, "I'll go out for two months, is this price appropriate?" ”

Xu Damao nodded hurriedly, "A few days ago, I heard that in the pigeon market, the food stamps have risen to 8 or 9 cents a catty, and the white flour has risen to more than one piece.

Of course, the price of fish has also risen, but if we change it this way, we will not suffer. ”

Seeing Xu Damao say this, Chu Xiangqian shouted to Jiang Erleng, who was sitting not far away, in charge of looking out for the wind, and the boy of the Zhao family shouted.

The two men hurried over, one went up to the tree and plucked a lot of willow branches, and the other used the willow branches to string the fish in the bucket and gave them to the old man.

After receiving the 5 catties of food stamps, the two boys were excited.

Sent it to Chu Xiangqian like an invitation, and then patted his ass and said, "Brother, you are so powerful, if this is like this every day, your family will not be short of food at all." ”

5 catties of white noodles in the morning, replaced with stick noodles or millet, which used to be 15 catties, and now it is about 13 catties.

Even if you add love for aid, patriotism, and love for the people, there will indeed be no shortage of food.

Half an hour, at 12 o'clock at noon, Chu Xiangqian ate two steamed buns and meat slices and two bowls of millet porridge at 8 o'clock, and he didn't feel hungry at all.

But the two and a half sons and Xu Damao can't do it.

Hearing Jiang Erleng's stomach growling, Chu Xiangqian put down the fishing rod, pointed to the two fish that he had just caught more than 1 catty and said, "You two take these two fish, go to a nearby public-private joint venture restaurant and ask, can you change some nests or something." ”

The two boys were overjoyed, and they hurriedly ran away with the willow branches.

Xu Damao didn't say much when he saw this, but this person had the strength to see it, and took out the red peony, "Forward, this is my brother's food money." ”

In the past, Chu Xiangqian would definitely accept it, but now, think about it, he has 5 million Hong Kong dollars in cash in his pocket.

I really can't be as careful as before.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chu Xiangqian already has a foothold on Hong Kong Island, so he doesn't have to worry about having no way out.

Naturally, the mentality is different.

"Okay, after all, it's just two fish, I can't afford to be so scheming with you."

Xu Damao smiled, simply opened the big front door, and gave Chu Qianqian a point, and he also came with one.

"By the way, apart from the tiger whip and the deer treasure, do you have any tonic for women to eat?"

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he thought that Xu Damao wanted to buy it for Lou Xiao'e.

But when I think about it, where can this kid be so kind, and it is likely to make up for the little daughter-in-law and widow.

But what Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that Xu Damao, the kid, had no money himself, so he set his sights on Lou Xiao'e's parents.

The Lou family is indeed not short of money, and even has so much money that there are tens of thousands of dividends from the rolling mill every year.

But the Lou family is a capitalist in the end, and judging from the current situation, Lou's father and Lou's mother dare not eat and drink blatantly.

After a year and a half, the supplements and other things that were hidden before should have been consumed.

Chu Xiangqian wanted to refuse, after all, he also had three women now, and the supplements brought from Hong Kong Island could not be sold for much price, so there was no need to cheapen Xu Damao's women outside.

But when you think about it, Ejiao is not only donkey glue.

The deerskin glue made of sika deer is actually better and more expensive than donkey glue.

There are now 156 sika deer in his warehouse, and he can continue to brush 3 a day.

First, use the deer skin of a deer, try to boil it into deer glue in a restaurant in the novice village, and sell it on Hong Kong Island, which is also a stable income.

Even if it is troublesome in the future, you can save a little and slowly use it for your own woman.

"Do you want Ejiao?"

Xu Damao was overjoyed, "How much, how much is a catty?" ”

"Are you eating Ejiao as a meal?" Chu Qianqian glanced at Xu Damao, "Besides, although donkey skin is not expensive, do you know that you have to use 49 buckets of water of the same volume as the pot to boil donkey glue in order to boil a pot of ejiao?"

I don't know how much effort it will take.

And the processing of donkey skins also takes a lot of energy, and you can calculate the labor required to know how expensive it is.

If you want to sell by the pound, you better wash and go to sleep. ”

When Xu Damao heard this, he became more and more convinced that Ejiao was a good thing.

"Then buy it according to two, it's always okay."

Chu Qianqian nodded, silently counting the Hong Kong Island, a box of good Ejiao is 120 Hong Kong dollars per catty.

In the mainland, the price should be much cheaper.

But on second thought, what is exported at this time is often the cost price.

In other words, the selling price on Hong Kong Island, even if you add the difference between freight and second-hand traders, the final price may be just about the same as the selling price in the mainland.

Coupled with the difference between the Hong Kong dollar and the Celestial Empire, Chu Xiangqian thought about it and said, "One or two pieces of Ejiao are 25 yuan." ”

"So expensive?" Xu Damao was suddenly frightened, and he could only buy a little more than one piece of his monthly salary.

"Otherwise, why do you think Ejiao was used exclusively for the royal family in ancient times? Moreover, the real good Ejiao only uses donkeys from Acheng Town, Lu Province. ”

As soon as Xu Damao heard this, he was immediately fooled.

While nodding secretly, he silently thought in his heart, after he bought a copy of Ejiao, how to fool his mother-in-law of money.

"Forward, give my brother a box first, I'll ask my father-in-law if I want it, okay?"

Only then did Chu Xiangqian know that Xu Damao was beating the Lou family's idea.

But after thinking about it, the Lou family is not short of money anyway, even if Xu Damao increases the price, it is impossible to exceed too much.

After all, Lou's mother also understands the market, and if it is too expensive, she will not be cheap Xu Damao for nothing.

And Ejiao can't eat too much, staring at a person to gather wool, and he can't make a lot of money at all.

On the contrary, it is a good thing for Lou's mother to be able to make up for her body from time to time at this time.

"Okay, I'll give you a box and a half pound when I go back, I think it's okay, you give me money again." If it doesn't work, give it back to me. ”

Xu Damao hurriedly thanked him, and trusted Chu Xiangqian more and more in his heart.

Not long after, Jiang Erleng and the Zhao family came back with 8 nests with a smile.

Chu looked forward and knew that there were more than 2 halves of the head of this nest.

8 is 2 catties, and it seems that there is no loss.

I ate one at random, and I was about to divide the rest into two and hand it over to two boys, but I didn't expect the two of them to eat only one and stop eating.

The afternoon passed quickly, and Chu Qianqian looked at the fifteen or sixteen fish in the tin bucket, and couldn't help but be secretly proud.

Xu Damao, who only caught 2 fish a day, said, "It's getting dark, I'll catch this today." ”

Xu Damao actually wanted to leave a long time ago, but Chu Xiangqian's side caught one from time to time, and if he left at this time, he would have to be scolded by the whole courtyard when he went back.

Back in the courtyard, Chu Xiangqian didn't go in directly.

It was Ren Jiang Erleng and the Zhao family boy, holding an iron bucket and waiting in the corner outside the courtyard.

He entered the courtyard and called Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong out.

As for Xu Damao, he is naturally cool and staying.
