Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 42 Official fight, Huanghuali scale beam

He took a closer look at the contents inside the bucket. It was wrapped in two newspapers and looked like two bottles of wine.

Wu Yuansheng opened the newspaper, and what was inside was revealed. It was indeed Maotai.

He took a closer look at the wine label and lid. Like the previous wine, they were all from the 80s.

There is nothing wrong with the wine, it is not fake wine.

"Two bottles of wine should be priced at 500 yuan each!" Old Wu said to him while he was looking at the wine.

"Okay! I'll give you the drink money first. I didn't expect to buy anything tonight. I only have 1100 yuan in cash.

We'll discuss the prices for the other items later. I'll go get the money and bring it over to you before I pay it to you. What do you think? "

While he was talking, he took out his wallet, took out the money, and handed each of them 500 yuan.

"It's okay! You take a look at the things first. You can pay us the money for the bucket and scale tomorrow." Lao Wang said after taking the money.

"It's not like you won't go to the demolition area to collect things. We will definitely get wine or other items in the future. If we don't have such integrity, how can we do business in the future!"

Old Wu also said to him after collecting the money.

"You are right, let's take a look at things first, you will definitely have money!"

While they were talking, Wu Yuansheng also began to look at this fight.

The so-called "dou" and "liter" are ancient containers, which are measuring supplies for grains and grains. One dou is equal to ten liters.

This bucket is trapezoidal, with the upper mouth wider than the bottom, and the four corners are wrapped with copper sheets.

On the four sides are engraved the words "Guandou", "Tongzhi Yichou of the Qing Dynasty", "The main hall of a certain state magistrate" and "Calibration".

The wood looks to be rosewood, which is considered good wood. This wood is hard and wear-resistant.

The workmanship of the bucket is very regular, much more standardized than the buckets used by ordinary people at home, and its appearance is very good!
In ancient times, people may say that due to some disputes, the rice, soybeans, sesame and other items borrowed from others were insufficient.

In order to resolve the conflict, it may be brought to court. At this time, this kind of "official fight" may be used.

The fights used by the people are all made according to the standard of official fights.

"How much does this fight cost?" Wu Yuansheng asked the two of them after watching the fight.

"We don't know the price of this thing. You know this, so tell us the price first!" Old Wu said.

"Usually, someone buys a fight like this for 20 yuan or 30 yuan. This one is better. How about I give you 200 yuan?"

In fact, there is no specific price for something like this, it all depends on the buyer's mood and financial strength.

He can't ask for too high a price. When he goes out to buy something, no matter how good the item is, he can only offer it at a low price and buy it as junk.

If the price he says is too high, the seller may think that his item is a treasure and not sell it.

"Then let's calculate it as 200 first, and then look at these three scales. These are all large scales. The scale poles are almost two meters long, and the scale weights weigh several kilograms!" Lao Wang said.

Putting the "official fight" on the tricycle, Wu Yuansheng looked at the three large scales again.

The beams of the three-steel scale are indeed very long and thick.When he looked at this, he mainly looked at the material of the wood used to make the scale.

He took a look at the three scale beams at the same time and found that one scale beam was obviously yellower in color and had tiger skin-like patterns.

I took a closer look at the three scale beams. The other two were very ordinary, made of ordinary wood.

The one with tiger skin texture is made of huanghuali.

"How much do these three scales cost together?" After putting the scales back in place, he asked Lao Wu and Lao Wang.

"These three-steel scales are still usable. If you want them, please give us 1000 yuan. These things are rare anymore!" Lao Wu said.

"Okay, then it's 1000 yuan. Including the "official fight" just now, it's 1200 yuan. But I only have 100 yuan in my hand. I'll get the money later and give it to you!"
You definitely can't go to bed that early, and the bank is not far away. After I withdraw the money, I will call you when I come over, and it will only take about half an hour at most! "

"Okay! We haven't taken a shower yet. It should be just in time for you to withdraw the money when you're done!" After hearing what Wu Yuansheng said, Lao Wang said to him.

"Then let's put it this way, I'll get the money after I send the things back." After he said that, he rode away.

Today he bought two more bottles of Maotai liquor from the 80s, as well as a "Guandou", a large old huanghuali scale, which he had not expected before eating.

Needless to say, the two bottles of Moutai will surely get better and better if they are kept for a few more years.

"Guan Dou" is not very common. It is made of mahogany and rosewood. It is even rarer to have characters engraved on all sides.

However, he doesn't plan to sell this Guandou. He will keep it for now and later put it in the house he bought as a "treasure bowl."

The old weighing beam of Huanghuali is nearly two meters long, and its thickest part is about five centimeters in diameter.

He tried the weight and found it weighed several kilograms.

This tiger-skin scale can be sold for a lot of money even if it is sold as beads.

Of course, he definitely doesn't know how to drive beads, after all, he is an old weighing scale.

No matter how good things are in the demolition area, whether they are people demolishing houses or people riding tricycles to do recycling.

When they don't understand the value of items, they will treat some things as waste.

When acquiring things, they will not pay high prices. When selling the acquired things, if they add a little profit, they will sell them as well.

Lao Wu and Lao Wang went to the demolition area to smash the doors and windows of the residents or units that had been moved out, smashed things in, and picked up some valuable things at no cost at all.

They just use their hands to pick it up, which is similar to him going to the houses of demolished households to find treasures and find leaks.

But the things he bought from them now were nothing compared to their true value.

After putting his things in the rental house, Wu Yuansheng went to the bank and withdrew 5000 yuan from the ATM.

I came back to where Lao Wu and the others lived, called them, and they came down.

"Lao Wang, Lao Wu, this is the money I owe you for buying something just now!"

While Wu Yuansheng was talking, he took out 1200 yuan and handed them 600 yuan each.

"Actually, you can give it to us tomorrow, so there's no need to be in such a hurry!" Old Wu said politely after taking the money. Having said that, they would definitely be happier if they could get the money earlier.

"Yes! We didn't say we would definitely ask you to deliver it today!" Lao Wang also said to him, and he said the same polite words.

"I have something to do tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't have time! By the way, can you tell me where those steelyards were dismantled? If you can't tell me, forget it!"

He was still very curious about the origin of these things.

"There's nothing I can't tell you. I picked it up from the ceiling of an old house." Old Wu said.

"The house was expropriated and everyone moved away. If every household has not taken away all their belongings and handed over the house key, even if there is gold hidden in the house, it is their own fault if it is lost!" Lao Wang also said.

"You're right! They paid hundreds of thousands, millions, or even millions in compensation, and they don't even care about these three melons and two dates!"

"I really envy these demolished households in the city. They all have old houses that are decades old, and some of them are about to collapse. They still pay so much compensation!" Lao Wang added.

"Don't be envious. I have a good life. Go to bed early. Tomorrow I will continue to smash iron and demolish houses!" Lao Wu said to Lao Wang.

"Okay! Then I'll go back and rest. If I get something again, I'll call you!"

After chatting for a few more words, Lao Wu and Lao Wang returned to the rental house, and he also left.

When I returned to the rental house again, it was almost 11 o'clock.

Except for him, everyone living around him was sleeping.

He originally planned to read the book distributed by the driving school in the evening, but it was very late, so he took a bath and lay down to rest.
