Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 495 Painting and Calligraphy
It's just that the clerk swallowed another sentence, that is, a guest finally came, and he had to open an account no matter what.

Even if they don't have what Zhang Yu wants, they can go to other nearby antique shops to exchange it.

"I heard from a master craftsman that Boss Han, you have old Baishi and Zhang Daqian's paintings here. Could you let me have a look?"

"There are a few. They are in the store. Please wait a moment, sir. I'll get them here."

Boss Han saw that Zhang Yu wanted to buy it, so he quickly came to the back of the counter and took out a box from one of the cabinets.

After opening it, there were some framed calligraphy and paintings inside. Boss Han took out the calligraphy and paintings inside and said: "I collected these calligraphy and paintings earlier, and I planned to collect them myself. If it wasn't really difficult, you would It was introduced by an acquaintance, but I really don’t intend to do it.”

Boss Han said while looking at the calligraphy and paintings in the box with some distress. These calligraphy and paintings are not too expensive, and they are not expensive, but who made him just like this kind of calligraphy and painting.

It took a lot of effort to get these paintings and calligraphy back then.

However, it wasn't too distressing. The few paintings he particularly liked were kept at home, and they were not put in the store at all.

Thinking about it this way, Boss Han suddenly felt that it was no big deal to sell it, maybe he could use the money to get some better ones.

After taking out all the calligraphy and paintings, Boss Han looked at the words and said, "I personally asked for some of them from the old man Baishi, and they are definitely authentic."

Although Zhang Yu is not very good at identifying these things, he knows some famous works of later generations, and with his limited appreciation ability, he can still recognize that the calligraphy and paintings in front of him are likely to be genuine.

But even if it's not genuine, it's not a loss in terms of the calligraphy and paintings in front of you.

Looking at the paintings of Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Lin Fengmian, Fu Baoshi and others in the box, which were sold at sky-high prices in later generations, Zhang Yu pinched his thigh hard to keep himself from losing his composure.

Seeing the end, Zhang Yu waved his hand and decided to take all of them.

After hearing his words, Boss Han was also very happy. Although it was not much, but with this account, the shop can last for a longer period of time. At least it is not a problem to pay the staff for a few months.

The price calculated by Boss Han made Zhang Yu feel cheap!

Especially when compared with the prices of later generations, I feel that I have taken advantage of it.

Because he bought a lot, and Boss Han also saw that he came here by bicycle, so he simply gave him the boxes containing those calligraphy and paintings.

After Zhang Yu calculated what he could take away on the bright side today, that is, the space left in the box, he walked around the shop again, picking and choosing, and finally selected a few more satisfactory ones The paintings, put them in the box, filled the box to the brim.

If he hadn't been seen riding a bicycle, he would have wrapped up everything in the store.

Forget it, come back another day!
Anyway, Liulichang is very close to where he lives.

Perhaps seeing that his intentions were still unfinished, shopkeeper Han smiled, and then introduced him to a few shops with these modern calligraphy and paintings. Although there are still a few shops that have closed, they will change hands if the price is right.

Hearing his words, Zhang Yu was pleasantly surprised. Compared with the prices of later generations, these paintings and calligraphy can be regarded as the price of cabbage at this time. Investing in these paintings and calligraphy is simply more valuable than buying a house.

Although these paintings and calligraphy are basically useless to him when they are valuable, but it is good to leave them for future generations.

In the future, when a certain younger generation gets down and out, sells a painting and calligraphy left by him, and realizes a sudden wealth, he will become the CEO just like the hero in the novel, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life. It is exciting to think about it.

So Zhang Yu and Boss Han quickly made an agreement that he would pay Boss Han to act as a broker to help him contact some modern painters' works. After the work was completed, he would be paid commission according to the requirements of the industry.

Boss Han is naturally very happy about this. Firstly, he has money to make, and he can also help his friend who is about to make a living. After selling these things, the child can live a good life for two days.

After agreeing on a time, Zhang Yu tied the box presented by Boss Han to the back of the car, got on his bicycle and left Liulichang.

When no one is riding, just put the box into the space.

Zhang Yu, who felt that he had gained a lot today, was very happy, and the depression that was born because of being robbed of the purple clay pot disappeared a lot.

When you are happy, you will think about what to eat today?

After thinking about it, he felt that the food at home hadn't been improved for a long time, so Zhang Yu directly took out a processed chicken from the space and brought it home.

When I got home, I saw that my family hadn't come back yet, so I stewed the chicken in a big pot first.

To be honest, in the past, in order not to attract attention, Zhang Yu might have stewed the chicken in the space and then brought it home, and the whole family secretly drank it.

But these days are different. Since the supply and marketing cooperative increased the supply last time, other places have also increased the supply one after another.

Residents who haven't seen meat for a long time even took out all the meat tickets at home and replaced them with meat for the family to eat meat to satisfy their cravings.

As far as Zhang Yu knew, there were several new pigs at the butcher shop yesterday, and most of the people in the yard had grabbed the meat.

Therefore, when the whole courtyard eats meat, it is rare for Zhang Yu to relax and enjoy it with everyone. He no longer has to be evasive like before, although it is a pork and a chicken.

Burning fire, looking at the cauldron in front of him, a little dissatisfied.To be honest, Zhang Yu actually wanted to cook the chicken slowly in a casserole today, but Zhang Guifang thought that would be too wasteful.

It's better to stew it directly in a big pot. Although the taste may be lighter, it's more enjoyable to drink that way.

In this regard, what Zhang Yu can do is to honestly fill a large pot of water according to my sister-in-law's request.

Looking at the big pot full of water, Zhang Yu was very thankful that he had the foresight to pick out the biggest and fattest chicken. It was such a big pot, but the chicken used for stewing soup was a little smaller. It doesn't necessarily taste like chicken soup.

After stewing for two hours, the bones and meat of the stewed chicken were separated, and the bones were crispy. Zhang Yu put some in a spoon and tasted it. Fortunately, it may be the reason why the chicken is big enough, so although there is a lot of water, the taste But not as dull as I imagined.

For this pot of chicken soup that Zhang Yu was not particularly satisfied with, Zhang Guifang was exaggerating.
