The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 94, Increase at the end of the year

After leaving the ghost market, Li Weiguo thought about it and put all the items he bought into Changsu Warehouse, and will study them slowly when he is free.

When I arrived at Lao Fu's second entrance yard, Lao Fu hadn't come yet, and the surroundings were pitch black and silent.

Li Weiguo first walked around the yard, surveyed the surrounding situation, and after confirming that no one was nearby, he took out the key, opened the door and went in.

After all, it's speculative, it's not very honorable, and it may be targeted at any time, so you can't be too careful.

After closing the courtyard door, Li Weiguo waved his hand and released a pile of materials directly from the space. With a "swish", a large pile of materials appeared in the center of the courtyard, completely occupying the open space of the courtyard.

The supplies this time were not the amount of the previous week, but a thousand catties of pork, a thousand catties of eggs, a thousand catties of duck eggs, and three thousand catties of flour, and a thousand catties of mutton.

It's the end of the year, and I have to let the old and the young buy more delicious food. No, they don't even provide stick noodles, they directly replace them with white noodles, and prepare some mutton.

Anyway, the old and the young have a lot of money, and even if they don’t have money, they can use antiques to pay for it. Besides, they are used to living a good life, and they probably can’t get used to eating stick noodles.

Not long after, old Fu came over with his two sons and two grandsons. When he came, the eldest and second son of the Fu family carried a big heavy box.

"Master Li, it's late, you Haihan."

"It's not too late, Master Fu, we are old acquaintances, so you don't need to be too polite."

"Hehe, you are right, Master Li."

Having said that, the old man bowed respectfully, then waved to his two sons behind him and said, "Hurry up and bring it over here, let Master Li take a look."

Hearing this, the eldest and second son of the Fu family did not dare to neglect, and quickly carried the box over and opened it smoothly.

Looking along the light of the flashlight, the box is full of old objects. There are dozens of them, all of which are relatively small objects. There are porcelain, snuff bottles, golden nanmu boxes, Ming Dynasty ivory wats, jade pendants, Soapstone and so on, there are many types.

"Master Li, these are the old things that were collected for you recently. Here is the list, please have a look." Then, the old Fu handed over the list in his hand.

Li Weiguo took it with a nod, and looked carefully under the light of the flashlight.

Qing Dynasty Emperor Qianlong Snuff Bottle with Enamel and Western Figure Figures, the purchase price is 30 yuan;
Snuff Bottle with Ivory Carved Landscape and Figures of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, the purchase price is 28 yuan;
A porcelain bowl from the Qianlong period was purchased for 16 yuan;

Porcelain plates from the Kangxi period, the purchase price is 30 yuan;

The golden silk nanmu box with the seal of Qianlong, the purchase price is 100 yuan;

Ming Dynasty ivory wat (a board used by ancient officials to go to court), the purchase price is 40 yuan;

Four pairs of ivory chopsticks, the purchase price is 60 yuan;
Uncut bloodstone seals of three parties, the purchase price is 80 yuan per party;

Six pieces of mutton-fat jade raw stone, with a total purchase price of 30 yuan;
Counting all kinds of objects, there were 58 items in total, all of which were purchased with great care by Lao Fu. He basically used up all the 3000 yuan that Li Weiguo gave him last time.

There are so many treasures, and none of them are ordinary products, which shows the old Fu's vision. If these things have no connections and channels, it is not easy to buy them if they have money. take it out.

Although the purchase price of these items is still a little lower than the lowest price, these treasures are undoubtedly high-quality goods, which can be said to be very profitable. As for the purchase price, Li Weiguo doesn't care. Two dollars is nothing.

The key is that Lao Fu didn't fool himself or use some worthless things to deceive himself.

Moreover, there are many high-end goods in this treasure box. The most valuable is a set of Qing Dynasty official hats with top beads, from the ninth rank to the first rank, a total of nine official hats, all of which are ingot-shaped warm hats. The top bead is intact.

There are two types of "top wear" in the Qing Dynasty. The hat-like hat has no eaves and is trumpet-shaped. It is flat and large in the early stage, and small and tall in the later stage. Lake color, yellow, embellished with red tassel top beads.

The other is a warm hat, which is the one in front of Li Weiguo.

It is round, with a ring of eaves, mostly made of leather, woolen, satin, and cloth, mostly black, with red cap weft in the middle, and a top bead on the top of the hat. Its materials are mostly made of gemstones, including red, blue, white, and gold. .

According to the etiquette system of the Qing Dynasty, first-rank officials use rubies for crown beads, second-rank officials use coral, third-rank sapphires, fourth-rank lapis lazuli, fifth-rank crystals, sixth-rank clams, seventh-rank plain gold, and eighth-rank engraved gold. , Jiupin Yang Wen carved flower gold.

Such a complete set of official hats will be relatively rare in later generations. The bald bead alone is worth a lot of money. As a result, Lao Fu only spent 800 yuan to acquire it.

"Yes, Master Fu, you are interested."

Li Weiguo nodded in satisfaction, then folded the list in his hand, put it in his arms, glanced casually at the treasures in the box, and closed the box without looking carefully.

"Hey, as long as you are satisfied, Master Li." The old man bowed and smiled.

"Hahaha, satisfied, quite satisfied. Master Fu, I can still trust your vision. By the way, Master Fu, it's the end of the year, and I've prepared some more supplies for you. See if you can eat them." Li Weiguo said. I used a flashlight to take photos of the huge pile of supplies that filled the yard.

Hearing this, Old Fu followed the light of the flashlight and looked towards the center of the yard.

Hey. Baskets and baskets of pork and eggs, and even bags of grain on the ground piled up in huge piles, much more than the amount traded every week before.

The old man couldn't help but couldn't help himself. It was the end of the year, and which family wasn't thinking of ways to buy new year's goods and supplies to prepare for the New Year. Of course, the more supplies, the better. He was about to mention this to Li Weiguo, but he didn't expect this There you have it.

Suppressing his excitement, the old Fu said, "It doesn't matter how much, don't worry, Mr. Li, it won't take long to sell it."

"That's good. This time, it's a thousand catties of pork, a thousand catties of eggs, a thousand catties of duck eggs, a thousand catties of mutton, and three thousand catties of flour."

Hearing this quantity, Lao Fu silently calculated the price in his heart:
Pork, one yuan and fifty cents a catty, one thousand and five hundred yuan;

Eggs, one piece and six cents a catty, one thousand and six hundred yuan;

Duck eggs, one yuan and eight cents a catty, eighteen hundred yuan;
Mutton, one piece and two cents a catty, 200 yuan;

White flour, thirty-five cents a catty, one thousand and fifty yuan;
The total amount is 150 yuan, which is far more than the amount of money he brought today.

"Master Li, I don't have enough money here. Please wait a moment and I'll ask my boss to go back and get it." With that, he called the boss of the Fu family to go back and get the money.

"Don't bother, just give as much as you bring. For the rest of the money, remember first, you can replace it with an old one and bring it to me next time." Li Weiguo waved his hand indifferently, and didn't want to waste time tossing and tossing Go, anyway, I don't worry about Lao Fu running away.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your understanding. The little old man brought 14 small yellow croakers, and there is still 200 yuan left, and there is still a difference of 150 yuan. In the future, all the small ones will be used to buy old things, and I will send them to you when they are collected. .”

"Okay, then I will trouble you."

"I don't dare, I don't dare. It's all my own business. The little old man is under your care."
