Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Hey, you have a long knowledge, this flower, bird, fish and insects, Master Niu, you are an expert." ”

Niu Ye smiled and waved his hand: "It's still successful, it's also when you were young and didn't do your job, what are you two doing?" ”

Xu Deyong said: "Isn't this the autumn equinox, I took my family to dig some autumn vegetables outside the city." ”

"Ouch, this is the day to drink autumn soup, and I have to paste autumn fat." Niu Ye patted his belly and said with a smile.

"Ah......h

At this time, Xiao Li'er stretched out her little finger and pointed at Niu Ye.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "What do you want to do!" ”

Niu Ye said happily: "Hey, I'm afraid this baby doesn't like the crickets in my hand, I won't give it, hahaha......." ”

After saying that, he laughed to himself.

Xiao Li'er tilted her little head and looked at this person strangely, and then looked at the "omnipotent" horn and said, "Ahhh ”

Niu Ye hurriedly said: "Your family should go home, I have to take my "general" to fight and see what it can do." ”

"Then Master Niu, go slowly." Xu Deyong and his wife said.

"The crickets are in the hall, and they are gone." Niu Ye waved his hand and thought to himself, holding his cricket basket and swaying away.

Xiao Li'er opened her round eyes and said, "Ah! ”

It's like saying, "I didn't get anything to go." ”

Xu Deyong pinched her little face and said, "Okay, you're gone, go back and dad will catch one for you to play." ”

Xiao Li'er shook her little head and leaned on Xu Huizhen, saying that she was unhappy that she didn't get it.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "She is still young, she is used to her, and she quickly forgets about it." ”

The two went home immediately, Xu Huizhen simply cleaned up and went to the tavern in front, and the father and daughter were left at home.

Xiao Li'er was tired after playing for a while, so she fell asleep, and Xu Deyong was also empty to do his own .......

……

The next day, Xu Deyong took a trip, and on the way back, he passed by the consignment store near Dashilar, thought about it, and then stopped the car and went in to have a look.

"Dashilar" was formerly known as "Four Langfangs", during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, they had ordered to install fences at both ends of the streets and alleys in the outer city, which were open and closed at night.

Among them, the fence at the intersection of the four streets of the corridor is very tall, and people take "the big fence" as the name of the street, and for many years, the "big fence" has replaced the street name of the four corridors.

In fact, many of the names of Sijiu City are interesting and have been changed.

For example, Zhongguancun sounds quite foreign now, the gathering place of Internet companies, in fact, formerly known as Zhongguan Village, is the settlement of eunuchs after retirement.

Wukesong sounds like an old place name, so there should be pine.

Yes, but this Honka died in 65 years because of the construction of the subway.

This place was BJ's security blind spot back then, and there were many robberies, so passing merchants walked together under these five pine trees

Zhushikou originally sold pigs, Jishikou sold chickens, and Luoguxiang was originally called Luoguoer Lane and so on.

Since Xu Deyong and Xu Huizhen got married, Xu Huizhen did not take his private money, and also told him about his family background.

The bulk of the family's income is the redemption money of the public-private partnership, as well as a part of the money saved by Old Man He, which adds up to several thousand yuan, of course, not including the value of those things in the family.

Tsk, what a little rich woman, otherwise she wouldn't be able to afford a tractor and a big mansion in the "play".

After the wage reform, Xu Huizhen now has a salary of forty or fifty yuan as a private manager, and there are dividends every month, which is only a lot more.

In this calculation, Xu Huizhen will treat He Yongqiang and his wife in the future, and it will be good for their two daughters, which is a bit forgivable.

After all, this family is considered to be the old He family, although Old Man He said on his deathbed that he would not give He Yongqiang a little.

But He Yongqiang and his wife are unkind and unjust, if Xu Hui is really the same, wouldn't the moral level be lowered to the same as them?

In this comparison, Xu Deyong is much worse, as a "jobless vagrant" who pedals three wheels, he can earn more than a dozen yuan from a tavern every month by pulling wine or something, and earn more than a dozen yuan from "private work".

Well, there is also the "rake" ...... there from Gangzi.

This calculation seems to be not old or young, so Xu Deyong's private money in his pocket has already exceeded two hundred.

I can't spend it, I can't spend it at all!

Moreover, the big head Gangzi didn't settle much, even if he asked Gangzi to get some things, it should be a hundred yuan at the end of the year.

However, this commission is destined to not last, and as soon as it is tightened in the second half of next year, things in the countryside will be so comfortable, and they will be caught and will have to go into the "artillery bureau".

Then again, in two years, I don't think anything will be good for business!

Of course, Xu Deyong's real confidence is himself and his craftsmanship, plus the blind box space and various materials inside.

With more than two hundred yuan of money, Xu Deyong naturally won't always carry it with him, but he also has more than ten or twenty yuan in his pocket every day.

When you walk into the consignment shop, you will find a wide variety of things inside.

Speaking of consignment stores, we have to mention the "Xiao Market" in the old Sijiu City.

The reason why Xiao City is called "Xiao City" is that its business hours are early in the morning. At about three or four o'clock in the second half of the night, the market opened.

In the past, there were many thrift markets in the old Sijiu City, such as the Guanghui Temple market located at the root of the old wall in the south city, the inner and outer markets of Xuanwu Gate, the Tianqiao, the Deshengmen market, etc., all of which sold old goods, and the items sold generally came from the old goods that were not used at home, and some were bought by thrift vendors and drums.

The second-hand goods market was also thriving for a while, but since the establishment of the state-run commission store, things with good roots have generally come here.

In addition to "Xiao City", Sijiu City also has "Night Market" and "Ghost Market".

However, at present, the "Xiao Market" and "Night Market" are basically gone, and only the ghost market that operates in the second half of the night is "the return of people to their homes and the return of gods to the temple".

Xu Deyong took a look, there are not too many good things now, and it will only be more than two years!

"Comrade, what do you want?"

The salesman spoke politely, and he should have turned into a regular person who used to "play a small drum", so that people have a vision for buying and selling.

Xu Deyong actually didn't have anything special to buy, so he asked casually: "Do you have a cricket gourd?" ”

The salesman said, "You're talking about the gourd, right?" ”

Xu Deyong said: "Well, it's all about the same. ”

The salesman smiled and said: "It's almost the same, it's a lot of attention here, you haven't played much at first glance, you won't even be able to distinguish between crickets and grasshoppers." ”

Xu Deyong said: "I don't play much, but the crickets and gnats still have the right to share, I just want to buy one for the child to play." ”

The salesman said: "I'm kidding you, if you play with your children, it's better to buy a new one somewhere else, it's cheaper, I'm an old thing, it's a little more expensive." ”

Xu Deyong said: "You take it out and I'll take a look." ”

The salesman took out a box from below and said: "These are all old things from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, that is, now, those Eight Banners children spent a lot of money to buy this thing, and they didn't blink an eye." ”

The Manchu Qing Dynasty relatives and nobles were very fond of these seasonal insects, not only fighting crickets in autumn, but also happy to raise grasshoppers, crickets, oil pots and other song insects, and in winter they smelled and enjoyed the lip gloss of "all countries (grasshoppers) come to the court".

Xu Deyong looked at a few small gourds and said, "How much money is this thing?" ”

The salesman said: "Each has a price, let me tell you, this gourd pays attention to the structure of the mouth, cover, hood, smashing the bottom, etc., the mouth is mostly ivory, tortoiseshell, wooden ring, used to connect the gourd and the cover, and the heart is the "window" of the sound of the insects, and it is carved into a delicate hollow pattern. ”

"You see this is a mouth made of ivory, or a "long" gourd, which is natural, quite rare, this is "Sanhe Liu", you may not have heard of ....... ”

Xu Deyong listened for a moment and said, "You say it's more money." ”

The salesman said: "This is a relatively cheap system, three dollars, this tortoiseshell costs five yuan, and this Sanhe Liu's ten yuan ......." ”

Xu Deyong blinked, in fact, he had heard the name "Sanhe Liu", as if he had read it, and it should be worth a lot when he looked back.

But ten yuan at this time is also not cheap!

Just when he hesitated to buy it, the salesman tentatively said: "Why don't you look at something else, this thing is still played by those old and young, and it's useless to buy it home." ”

Xu Deyong's eyelids raised and said: "Sensei, if I buy it, I will buy this "Sanhe Liu". ”

Isn't it just ten yuan, the master eats "soft rice", who does he look down on!

A few minutes later, Xu Deyong came out of the entrusted store with some pain, if his grandmother knew about it, he would definitely scold him for being a loser, and it was possible not to let him eat for three days.

Carrying the gourd, Xu Deyong swore in his heart that he would not buy these things indiscriminately in the future, and it would not be good to "pick up" on the street in a few years!

If you want to buy those clocks and watches that need to be repaired, you can still make money.

After that, he went to catch a grasshopper and put it inside, and bought it for his daughter's ......, well, you have to watch it so as not to break it!

Although crickets and gnats are distant relatives, they are very different, the shell of crickets is tan and the shell of gnats is green; Crickets are nocturnal insects, while grasshoppers are diurnal insects; Crickets are a carnivore, whereas grasshoppers are a herbivore.

Back at home, Xu Deyong gave the gourd to Xiao Li'er to play with.

Xiao Li'er happily hugged her two little hands, and when the gnats screamed, her little expression was stunned, "Oh"?

Then he looked inside curiously, like a "little fool".

Xu Huizhen chuckled and said, "Where did you get the gourd?" ”

Xu Deyong said honestly: "I bought it." ”

"How much?"

"Ten pieces."

Xu Huizhen: "......"

Although their family is not short of ten yuan, it is not good to spend money like this.

A pair of apricot eyes immediately stared at Xu Deyong, and said with a smile: "Master, do you want me to collect your private money?" ”

Xu Deyong grinned and said, "Accept it, my private money will be placed in the hidden wooden box under the bedside." ”

"Still." He changed his voice and said: "What I bought here is an antique, Sanhe Liu's, maybe it will be worth 180,000 in twenty or thirty years!" ”

Xu Huizhen's face turned slightly pale: "Since this is the case, then put it aside and let Xiaoli'er play." ”

Xu Deyong shrugged his shoulders and said with a hippie smile: "I'll leave the things to you." ”

Xu Huizhen looked at Xiao Li'er's little appearance that she couldn't put down, glared at him lightly, and said angrily: "Then you take a good look at it, don't let it fall, otherwise you won't be allowed to go to bed at night." ”
