In Gao Guobing's living room, a Yamaha upright piano is placed in the most conspicuous position, and Li Fei, who is wearing a goose yellow dress, is sitting on the piano bench, playing the tune attentively.

She played an ancient style song with oriental charm "On the Water Side".

The beautiful rhythm fluttered from the keys, and the people sitting nearby listened in fascination.

Gao Mingcheng stood at the door and didn't bother them rashly, until the song was over, everyone's applause rang out, and Gao Mingcheng walked in with his things.

"Mingcheng, why are you here?" Many beauties were a little surprised when they saw Gao Mingcheng coming.

However, the others saw the meat in Gao Mingcheng's hand at a glance.

Li Fei's family background is superior, but the two teachers she invited are from ordinary backgrounds, and when she saw Gao Mingcheng holding a lot of meat at this time, her eyes were quite envious.

Gao Mingcheng said with a smile: "I slaughtered a cow today, and I will take some beef to give to the teachers!" Oh, I also picked some bayberry, it tastes pretty good, each teacher should take a pound to eat. ”

The meat and bayberry were divided in advance, and now they can be sent directly to Li Fei, and the rest of the beef and bayberry are put into the kitchen of Gao Guobing's house.

"I'm here to deliver something, and you can go on with the lesson."

Gao Mingcheng didn't stay here for long, and was ready to leave after delivering his things.

Li Fei and the others thanked him, and they were very happy to be able to eat beef and bayberry.

After leaving Gao Guobing's house, Gao Mingcheng drove a tractor to the transportation company and found Xiao Jinfeng.

In addition to delivering meat to Xiao Jinfeng, Gao Mingcheng also asked Xiao Jinfeng to arrange for him to go to Yangcheng tomorrow.

The family had already collected a lot of old things, plus there was still more than a pound of bezoar, Gao Mingcheng decided to sell these things as soon as possible and exchange them for cash.

The bezoar is expensive, even if it is sold in the county, it can be sold at a high price, but if it is taken to Yangcheng, then it can naturally be sold at a higher price.

Besides, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and selling bezoars in the county, no matter how good the secrecy work is, there is a possibility that it will be spread out, so it is better to sell it directly in other places.

Xiao Jinfeng first thanked him for the beef and bayberry he sent, and then said: "Okay, you can come over at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, there is just a truckload of goods to be sent to Yangcheng, oh, by the way, that truckload is all honey!" ”

"Fan Chengyao said that his honey was selling well and decided to advertise it in newspapers and on TV, but there was not enough supply, so I asked him to help him collect honey here. I collected this carload of honey for more than a month before it was collected. ”

Honey is sold in the county, it costs seven yuan a catty, it is a high-priced nutritional product, and there are not many people who can afford it, but Fan Chengyao customized a batch of glass jars and changed to a fancy packaging, and the price doubled several times, but it sold very well.

After all, it's a big city, and its purchasing power is much more powerful.

Gao Mingcheng's own beehive is also about to have honey, and the next time he goes to Yangcheng, he can shake the honey to sell.

At this time, Xiao Jinfeng had already eaten a bayberry, his eyes lit up, and he boasted: "Not bad, this tastes good, sweet and sour, just right!" How much production do you have in the mountains? If you want more, you can wholesale it to me. ”

Gao Mingcheng said: "The yield is not much, only one tree bears a little more, but it is only about fifty catties, and other trees, it would be good to have ten catties." Wait until next year to be able to increase production. This first batch of goods, I will give everyone a point, my own people taste it first, and the rest, after I take it off, directly put it at the door of the clothing store and sell it slowly. ”

I heard that the output was not much, so Xiao Jinfeng did not force it.

The two talked for a while, and Gao Mingcheng went back.

As soon as I returned to the clothing store, I saw Maozi.

Sitting on the edge of the backyard wall of the clothing store, Maozi grinned at him when she saw him return.

"Brother Mingcheng!" Mao Zi's voice was sweet, as soon as he saw him like this, Gao Mingcheng knew that this person probably had something to ask him.

"Is there something wrong? If you have something, just say it! ”

"Hey, I see you're collecting old things outside, so I want to ask, do you want the old bed?" Mao Zi looked at Gao Mingcheng expectantly.

Gao Mingcheng jumped off the tractor and hurriedly said, "Tell me more!" ”

Mao Zi was encouraged, so he told the story carefully.

Gao Mingcheng's movement of collecting old things outside is not big or small, but Maozi often mixes outside, and there are many sources, so he knows it.

It just so happened that he knew a person, and that person's grandmother had an old bed, which looked very beautiful, so he wanted to sell it for money, so he asked Maozi to come here first to explore the wind, and if the matter was done, he would share Maozi with a little money.

No, Maozi just came over numbly.

"Wooden bed...... I should be able to collect it, but I have to look at it first, and the condition is good. Gao Mingcheng said that he knew that the wooden bed in the past could also be worth a lot of money, but he never confiscated it, because the wooden bed occupies a large area.

"Brother Mingcheng, then I'll take you to have a look!" Mao Zi actively led the way, seeing that it was still early, so Gao Mingcheng followed Mao Zi over.

Because he might buy a wooden bed, Gao Mingcheng drove a tractor over, and in about ten minutes, the tractor stopped under the guidance of Mao Zi.

"Brother Mingcheng, it's the red brick house in front!" Mao Zi stretched out his finger and pointed, and then quickly led the way in front, but no matter how fast he ran, Gao Mingcheng was able to keep up steadily.

"Archie! I brought Brother Mingcheng here! Take him to bed! Mao Zi said excitedly, in the red brick house, there was also a young man waiting there, and when he saw Mao Zi bringing someone here, he immediately opened his grandmother's room and motioned Gao Mingcheng to go in and see.

Gao Mingcheng noticed an old man about eighty years old sitting on a stool at the door, he knew that the bed must be this old man's, so he didn't rush to see the bed, but said: "Old man, do you really want to sell that bed?" ”

The old man opened his mouth to speak, but because a few teeth in his mouth had been lost, it was a little leaky.

"Hey, sell! Sold it to my grandson to marry a wife. ”

Okay, since the owner of the wooden bed agreed, Gao Mingcheng went in to take a look.

This is an old house, so the lighting and ventilation inside are very average.

The room is not large, the most striking place is an old-fashioned shelf bed, and against the wall are several red lacquer boxes, the red paint on which has partially fallen off, and the most central lock is a little green patina.

Gao Mingcheng's eyes glanced at the intricate copper lock, copper has always been a precious metal, this wooden box can use copper locks, presumably when the old man was young, his family was also wealthy.

"Brother Mingcheng, this is the wooden bed, take a closer look!" Mao Zi and the young man stood left and right, looking at Gao Mingcheng expectantly.

Gao Mingcheng only glanced at it, and then corrected them loudly: "This style of wooden bed is called a shelf bed!" I'll see what kind of wood it's made of. ”

In addition to looking at the wood, he mainly looked at the age.

After Zheng He went to the West, the fleet shipped a lot of precious wood such as rosewood from overseas, and these precious woods enriched the Chinese furniture.

If this shelf bed in front of you is a Ming-style rosewood shelf bed, then the value will be immeasurable.

However, they are only a small place here, and the probability of encountering a rosewood shelf bed is still not high.

Because it is summer, there is only a mat on the bed, a thin quilt is piled up, and on the shelf above, there is an old mosquito net, which can prevent dust and mosquito bites, so that people can lie in the bed and sleep peacefully.

Gao Mingcheng first took a cursory look at the whole, and then began to look at the details.

Most of the Chinese-style furniture is mortise and tenon structure, so don't look at the shelf bed so big, it seems that it is difficult to carry, but in fact, they can be disassembled, and when they reach the destination, they can be reassembled.

This bed is a bed with four pillars and four poles, the wood is old mahogany, not painted, but coated with a layer of tung oil, although it has been washed by time, but the old mahogany is hardwood, its wood grain is also clearly visible, as for the worn part, there is not much.

Its overall workmanship is made of heavy materials, tall and tall, and the fence, bedpost, tooth board, four-legged and upper frieze board are all carved patterns, and the patterns are based on the theme of the landscape of flowers and horses.

After Gao Mingcheng read it, he preliminarily judged that this should be a shelf bed in the Qing Dynasty.
