Liulichang is located in the southwest of the Forbidden City, west of Qianmen, and it only takes 20 minutes to walk from Meridian Gate.

After Han Mingxiu left the Forbidden City, he inquired all the way and walked to Liulichang. Liulichang is a cultural street that originated in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that most students from all over the country who came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations gathered here. Therefore, here There are many shops selling books and ink, paper and inkstone, forming a strong cultural atmosphere. Gradually, a cultural street has been formed, which has been passed down to this day.

At present, Liulichang mainly deals in antique calligraphy and painting, as well as painting and calligraphy supplies, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., as well as some painting shops, specializing in selling Chinese paintings.

Wandering in this street can give people a strong atmosphere of Chinese classical culture. There are antique classical buildings everywhere, Zhulan Mo Pavilion, and Xiaolouxuan windows. When you walk into a house, you can feel the five thousand Chinese kingdoms. cultural atmosphere of the year.

In this era, the shops in Liulichang were all state-run or public-private partnerships. Although the service attitude is not as good as that of private shops, there is one thing that can be assured, that is - there are no fakes!

What do you fear most when buying antiques?

Just for fear of selling fakes.

Han Mingxiu doesn't know much about antiques. Although she has watched the "Jianbao" column in her previous life, she has also watched some programs that auctioned antiques, but she watched it as if she were watching the fun, and did not study antiques.

However, even if she didn't understand it, she knew that those antiques were valuable in later generations, and those antiques were of high collection value. After all, those dozens of treasure appraising programs were not for nothing.

In a shop with a small face, she fell in love with a turquoise green with gold longevity pattern and double lion ears. It was made during the Qianlong period. The shape is very beautiful.

However, when he opened his mouth to ask, he actually asked for a thousand dollars!

You know, one thousand yuan is enough to buy a house and land in this era, but this small ear pot costs one thousand yuan, and the price is really not low!

The salesperson who sold the goods also told her that although this treasure did not come from the palace, it was something from the palace. It was sold by a destitute Lord Baylor in the past.

Han Mingxiu also knew that it would be worthwhile to buy it, but she had no money now, so she had to wait for the hairy crabs to be sold before coming to buy it.

Afterwards, she picked up a blue, gold and silver swastika bat longevity pattern cotton cloak, asking for 400 yuan; a pink-colored Magu's birthday snuff bottle, asking for 800; a Bada Shanren's "Bada Shanren" Swimming Fish Picture, asking price of 1,200 yuan; there is also a Duan inkstone, a few lake pens, and her most favorite piece of Huanghuali six-pillar openworked canopy bed with auspicious animals and phoenix birds.

The canopy bed Han Mingxiu liked at a glance, and the one who liked it was not necessary. According to the salesperson, it was a good thing handed down from the Ming Dynasty. The whole bed was built without using a single nail or screw. It is made of tenon-and-mortise technology, and this bed is well preserved. It is hundreds of years old, and there is basically no damage.

Han Mingxiu immediately decided to buy it, but this bed costs 4,000 yuan!

Four thousand yuan is enough to buy a courtyard house in the best location in Beijing. This price is really moving!

However, Han Mingxiu is not short of money. Although she has no money now, doesn't she have money right away?

In order not to make mistakes, she deliberately took out the only 60 yuan in her pocket and paid the deposit, and planned to buy this bed within five days. If she did not come to buy it within five days, the 60 yuan deposit would be returned !

After reading this bed, Han Mingxiu stopped holding it, and went directly to Jia Zhiguo's office to find Jia Zhiguo, telling him that the goods had arrived and that he could go to pick them up at any time.

When Jia Zhiguo saw that the goods were gathered so quickly, he immediately brought a few people, drove a car, brought a big name, and went with Han Mingxiu to inspect and receive the goods.

The pestle drove to the rental house, and Han Mingxiu moved the crabs and oysters into the house the moment he opened the door. After he opened the door, he saw many silk bags placed one by one on the ground in the house. The bags contained large crabs. and oysters.

"The goods are all here, you bring someone to count them, let's settle the payment."

Han Mingxiu was still in a hurry to buy some of her favorite antiques, and couldn't wait to urge him to inspect the goods and receive them, so that the payment could be settled quickly.

Jia Zhiguo said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, I have to test the quality of the goods first. You don't mind if I steam a few and try."

Han Mingxiu said cheerfully, "Okay, I have a stove in my house. You can check the goods in these bags."

Jia Zhiguo was not polite to her. He opened the bag in the middle and took out a crab, and then opened several bags next to it and took out one each. In the same way, I took out a few more oysters and steamed them in the pot of Han Mingxiu's rental house.

Twenty minutes later, the crabs and oysters were steamed, and the smell of seafood filled the room. Jia Zhiguo and the few people he brought smelled the delicious smell and kept sniffing.

Han Mingxiu lifted the pot, picked out the crabs and oysters, and invited a few of them to taste.

Jia Zhiguo broke open the crab and saw the snow-white crab meat and orange-yellow crab roe inside. It was fresh at first glance. He tasted it with chopsticks. Oh, it was fresh and delicious, as delicious as the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake!

These people are all greedy, and they can't hold their chopsticks after eating such a delicious food. A few people devoured all the big crabs and oysters in one breath, and then they stopped.

"How is it? Is my product qualified?" Han Mingxiu asked.

Jia Zhiguo wiped his mouth and said in a loud voice, "Qualified, qualified, I will receive the goods."

After speaking, with an order, a few people began to use large scales to weigh the crabs and oysters. Jia Zhiguo also resumed his seriousness, counting with a notebook. When the crabs and oysters were all weighed, Jia Zhiguo took out the money. , I checked with Han Mingxiu in person.

The crabs weighed 5,422 pounds in total, and sold for 5,964 yuan and 2 yuan. Han Mingxiu generously wiped off the fraction and only charged 5,960 yuan.

The raw oysters were 5,103 catties, and they sold for 4,082 yuan and four. Han Mingxiu still took a fraction and only charged 4,080 yuan.

In this way, Han Mingxiu suddenly had an income of 10,000 yuan.

10,000 yuan is definitely a huge sum of money in this era. If Han Mingxiu had this amount of money in the past, he would be very satisfied. However, after visiting Liulichang today, Han Mingxiu secretly regretted it. The goods promised to Jia Zhiguo are too small, if you can make more, you can make more money and buy more antiques to save.

However, it's up to people.

When Jia Zhiguo and the others were pulling the goods, Han Mingxiu left as if nothing, that her relative was still catching fish. She should be able to catch some in the past few days, but she didn't know how much.

When Jia Zhiguo heard it, he immediately said in a kind voice, "Big sister, look, you and your brother are doing business with no fuss at all. When the goods arrive, the money will be given to you face-to-face, right?"

Han Mingxiu nodded, "Yes, I'd be happy to do business with people like you."

Jia Zhiguo smiled, "So, if that relative of yours can still scrape together a batch of goods, you can bring it to my brother to sell it, and my brother will not treat you badly."

Han Mingxiu went down the slope and said, "Okay, I think Big Brother Jia is also a cheerful person. If there is still trouble, I will sell it to you."

In the afternoon of that day, Han Mingxiu happily transported all the antiques she was looking for back to the rental house.

Looking at those treasures, Han Mingxiu was in a really good mood. She didn't think there were many of these treasures that embody the wisdom of the Chinese people for thousands of years.

She secretly made up her mind that she must find opportunities to sell more things and store more antiques. Don't they all say antiques in troubled times, gold and prosperous times, this era is a period when the price of antiques is low. People who can cherish these treasures.

Or, treat it as a family heirloom and pass it on to her descendants, descendants and grandchildren, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.

When she finished buying these antiques, Sister He Li's uncle also talked to Sister He Li's eldest and second brothers about buying a house.

Uncle He didn't say that it was Sister He Li who bought the house, he just said that someone asked him to ask him, and he asked if the two of them would sell the house? If you sell it, the price won't hurt them.

Sister He Li's eldest brother and second brother are both people with public office, and the unit has a house, but because they both have a house, all the units don't take them into account when they divide the house every year. .

At this moment, someone buys their house, and of course both brothers are happy to sell it.

The money for selling the house can be owned by them, and then they can live in a house that the public gives for free, isn’t it more suitable than it is now?
