Chapter 195: Picking Up the Leak

Damn, what do I see?

Jiang Yulou rubbed his eyes and looked at the target again. That's right, it's true!

He hurried over, and it turned out that he was aiming for a pair of Taishi chairs that were placed in the empty space.

The main body of the Taishi chair is made of precious mahogany, and after years of precipitation, the surface presents a deep wood grain, like an ancient scripture, recording the vicissitudes of history. The armrests of the chair are wide and comfortable, with elegant curves, giving a sense of peace of mind. The backrest is carved with delicate floral motifs, which are layered and lifelike.

Next to it stood a sign: Mahogany Chair, Forty-Five.

Ah! Forty-five yuan a pair of mahogany Taishi chairs! Although the age is not marked, this pair of Taishi chairs with obvious traces of age is definitely not a work of recent years, and it is estimated that it is either Ming or Qing.

In these years, Chinese people do not pay attention to antiques, and pursue refrigerators, TVs, and bicycles. Those old ancestral objects are sold cheaply, and even thrown away as scrap.

Especially during the special period, some people were confiscated, and later the policy was implemented and some furniture and other items were returned. A lot of expensive hardwood furniture was sold by the stupid son of the landlord's family, and it was picked up by a few small sums of money by knowledgeable people, which is a common thing.

Many people who made a fortune by tinkering with antiques were the first pot of gold accumulated in this era.

The things sold in the trust store, except for gold, silver and jade, which are not very reliable, are basically true.

Mahogany furniture is a precious item, put in later generations, even if it is made by modern craftsmen, it can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention that it is in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is all antiques.

Tang Yuewen didn't understand this, and asked suspiciously, "Yulou...... Is there anything special about these two chairs? ”

Jiang Yulou looked at the girl and explained in a low voice: "The mahogany Taishi chair is very valuable. ”

"Really? I also have it at home, which is better than these two, and it is still passed down from the ancestors. Tang Yuewen said with an ignorant expression.

She didn't understand, wasn't it just two old chairs, what was good, and they were sold so expensive.

"Hey, you don't understand that." Jiang Yulou didn't explain, but started to explore, and then paid very happily.

Jiang Yulou is in this mood now, beautiful. If I knew there was such a good thing, I should have come and shop earlier.

Tang Yuewen asked, "Yulou, you haven't said it yet, why is this chair expensive?" ”

When the thing was in hand, he was not afraid that someone would rob him, so he explained it a little. It is mainly explained from the aspects of raw materials and processes.

As for what antiques, I don't need to say it now, and I don't understand it.

A customer next to him couldn't help but say, "Dude knows so much." ”

Jiang Yulou smiled, "I have a little hobby." ”

The man asked, "Shall I touch it?" ”

"Okay."

The customer was definitely a connoisseur, and after touching it, he nodded again and again: "Good thing, it's genuine, brother has a good eye to pick up the leak." ”

"Hey, hey." Jiang Yulou smiled and didn't answer.

The man shook his head, and after leaving, he turned back three times in one step, sighing, as if he had a great regret.

Tang Yuewen frowned, "Just a pair of chairs, as for it?" ”

"If I were to watch the opportunity to pick up the leak miss out on it, I would be the same, no, even more uncomfortable."

"Virtue!"

After Jiang Yulou discussed the door-to-door delivery service with the salesperson, he paid another sum of money, and then continued to shop with the girl.

"This imported heel is only 50 yuan, and the same brand I saw in the mall just now is more than six times the price."

"And the record player, it's the first time I've seen it."

"There's still Teresa Teng's tape here?"

Tang Yuewen is like a curious baby, interested in everything.

Jiang Yulou just followed her, grabbed her little hand, and kneaded it from time to time. For him, that's the most interesting.

"How come there are still flower sellers, hey, what kind of flowers are they?"

Tang Yuewen stabbed the boy, Jiang Yulou took her attention away from the girl's hand, and glanced at it, "Oh, this flower is called Junzilan, don't you know it...... Well? Wait a minute! ”

Jiang Yulou was also a little interested at this time, he walked to the front, and saw two pots of orchids in the middle of the counter, two in each pot, all of which were seedlings, and they had just given birth to a few fat and green leaves.

Isn't this Junzilan?

"Comrade, how do you sell this flower?" He shouted.

“……”

The salesman squinted at him, and said in his heart whether this person was sick, aren't all the goods here, and what is not for sale.

Then he glanced at what he was wearing, not the kind of poor ghost, and then said, "Sell, three yuan a pot." ”

"Three dollars a pot? Crazy! ”

Tang Yuewen couldn't understand when the price of flowers was so high.

Just when she was still complaining in her heart, she saw that Jiang Yulou had already pointed to two pots of flowers and said, "I want both pots!" ”

So, Jiang Yulou spent six yuan and bought two pots of flowers.

"What are you buying it for?"

"Isn't this my courtyard looking at the empty space, thinking about buying it as a bonsai." Jiang Yulou opened his mouth and came.

Native to southern Africa, the orchid was originally cultivated in Europe, and later became the royal flower of the palace, and after liberation, it flowed into the people.

However, it stands to reason that the main production area of Junzi Orchid is now in the Northeast, and it may have been brought back by flower lovers from there.

These two pots of seedlings, it is estimated that the buyer's head is tight, so he has to take out the flowers. Three dollars a pot seemed very expensive, but he knew it in his heart.

It's really not expensive at all!

He remembers that in his previous life, a wave called "orchid fever" swept in, pulling orchids that were originally used for viewing and cultivating sentiment into a new field.

The price has skyrocketed, from a few yuan per plant to hundreds of thousands of yuan per plant, highlighting the market's enthusiasm for orchids.

There are even people who advocate that the more peculiar the orchid flower, the rarer the variety, the higher its price, the uninformed people in these hearsay discussions, the dream of getting rich overnight, so, men and women, old and young, a large number of flower friends, scramble to buy orchids, dig orchids, raise orchids, its development speed is unprecedented;

During this period, the price of orchids not only did not fall, but soared, the more expensive they bought, the original orchids of more than ten yuan, rose to hundreds of yuan, and even the flower fertilizer and anthers of the orchid were in short supply, and they were snatched up for a while, and it was described as a smash hit, which is really not an exaggeration.

Under the speculation of merchants, the prices of all kinds of orchids have repeatedly reached new highs, and the "King of Red Flowers" of Chunlan was auctioned for 260,000 yuan per plant, and a pot of unsightly Chunlan was sold at an outrageous price of 15 million.

Therefore, buying orchids now is definitely blood money, and it is likely to make more money than he writes novels.

If you don't touch it, it's fine, and if you do, you can't let it go.
