Siheyuan: He Yuzhu’s Sunshine Farm

In the 15s, I don’t know where the news came from. Someone bought a sword for 15 yuan and sold it for 300 yuan; someone bought a plate for 300 yuan, and after it was authenticated, it turned out to be Yuan blue and white and sold for hundreds of thousands. ; Someone bought a pair of mahjong for 1 yuan, and sold it for 6 yuan!

Then everyone's hearts began to boil.

Panjiayuan. From the literal point of view, people would mistakenly think that it was named after a garden or manor named Pan, just like Liangjiayuan. In fact, this is not the case. Earlier, this place was not called Panjiayuan, but Panjiayao.

In the past, this was just a small village. In the old society, there were many kilns for firing bricks and tiles, and Panjiayao was just one of them.

The kiln owner surnamed Pan was originally from Shandong. He opened a glazed tile kiln here, but the business was not good because the soil here was not suitable for making glazed tiles, so he changed it to burning bricks.

Due to fierce competition, business is still stagnant.

Later, owner Pan paid close attention to the nearby kilns and found that the scales were not large and the quality was uneven. So he came up with an idea to improve the quality of the bricks on the one hand and work on the operation on the other.

First of all, he strictly controls the firing process and never cuts corners; the fired bricks have good color, high smoothness, strong hardness, and are not easy to break. In terms of sales, he played the "promotion" card: at that time, bricks were mostly sold in units of "ding", one "small ding" was 200 yuan, and one "big ding" was 800 yuan. But when he was stacking bricks, one A "little Ding" will cost 220 yuan, and a "big Ding" will cost 850 yuan.

The price is almost the same as other kilns, but the quantity is more than others, and the quality is acceptable. At the same time, he also hired three carriages to provide free delivery within ten miles.

This opened up sales and made him famous. People from a hundred or two hundred miles away came to buy bricks from him. As a result, the Panjiayao kiln grew bigger and bigger, gradually annexing several small kilns around it. Later, people only knew that there was a Panjiayao here and not other kilns, so "Panjiayao" gradually became the name of this place. Place name.

Later, due to "over-exploitation", the area was no longer suitable for brick-making, and the kilns closed down one after another. I heard that Panjiayao had moved to Fangshan, but a small village had formed nearby, so the name was not changed and it was still called Panjiayao.

However, there was not much population in this area at that time. Because the environment was relatively harsh, many large pits were left behind to extract soil from kilns all year round, some of which were filled with water and formed puddles, and there were also many slopes where kiln soil was accumulated.

If we go back further, we may not even see a kiln here, but a cemetery.

But now in Panjiayuan, every weekend, people come from all directions very early, and by eight or nine o'clock it is already busy with traffic, crowded, and crowded.

Just talking about the antique market, if there is one stall owner per stall, there will be at least more than 3000 people, and the number of shoppers coming in and out will be at least people.

There are more than 2000 stalls. Although you can choose your own stalls from various places, listening to the 131 sound and looking at the stalls, it is not difficult to tell that the vendors from each province are relatively concentrated. It is said that this can not only show local characteristics, but also take care of each other.

Beijing and Tianjin are relatively close, so Tianjin has the most vendors, mainly selling small antiques, such as the Four Treasures of the Study and miscellaneous items. Most of the vendors from Hebei sell dowry bottles, small wooden utensils and old calligraphy and paintings.

Shanxi people mainly deal in bronzes, irons and stone Buddhas, such as Warring States tripods, lifting beams, copper belt hooks, as well as Ming and Qing iron bells and iron furnaces. Gansu people wearing little white hats sell primitive painted pottery. Tibetans in long robes specialize in gilded Buddhas and Buddhist instruments.

Southern vendors from Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang mainly sell ancient bronze mirrors, ancient ceramics, new jadeite and stalactites. Those who sell Japanese bottles, charcoal braziers and old items from the Puppet Manchukuo region can tell you they are from the Northeast by their accent.

The local vendors in Sijiu City are not crowded together and have no characteristics. They sell a variety of goods, such as porcelain, jade pieces, miscellaneous items, screen holders, official suitcases, old pocket watches, hookahs and snuff bottles, etc. In addition, there are "Hongshang" who specialize in guerrilla warfare. They catch goods on the spot and sell them on the spot. With the goods in hand, they attract buyers and change places with one shot.

There was a stall surrounded by five or six people, all of whom were watching the stall owner and a middle-aged buyer transacting a porcelain vat. The transaction price had been negotiated at 1 yuan. The height and diameter of the vat are both about 50 centimeters. It has a regular shape and a solid texture. It is Kangxi colorful and decorated with monsters. The colors are bright and smooth, and the painting is smooth.

Because there were five red fish painted in the tank, the buyer suspected that it was not from the early Qing Dynasty. After repeated fiddling with it and examining it, he was unable to make a decision, and he hesitated and finally gave up. But as soon as he put the things down, he was immediately grabbed by a young man in his hand: "I want this tank!" Everyone was shocked by the speed and grasp of the move.

The middle-aged buyer missed the opportunity in an instant, with a dull expression on his face and deep regret. Onlookers and experts said that even if it is from the late Qing Dynasty, 1 yuan is not expensive.

Some people also say that the young man may be a "big shot" who specializes in porcelain, or he may have been taught by an expert. In fact, there is an old saying in China that as long as you have skills, heroes should not ask where they come from.

There was a vendor who claimed to be from Jiangxi and displayed a large collection of ancient porcelain unearthed from old kilns, including Sui and Tang Dynasty celadon four-series vats and water injectors, a small black-gold tea cup from the Jizhou kiln, a grape-purple Jun porcelain wash from the sky blue kiln, and a small black-glazed and gold-colored bowl from the Ding kiln. , as well as Tuding dishes and bowls and Liao and Jin painted figurine toys, etc. There are indeed many genuine items in them, but there are also new ones just out of the kiln, because many porcelains are still stained with red soil, and they look like unearthed cultural relics. It is difficult to tell the authenticity based on intuition.

There was an old man wearing glasses who took a fancy to a very good-looking Jian Kiln oil-dropped Tianmu tea bowl. The many small silver-gray dots on the black glaze gave it a unique decorative charm of Song Dynasty porcelain.

It is said that people from the island country love to buy this kind of things. They asked for 1000 yuan, and the price was reduced to 400 yuan. After wiping off the dirt with paper, the porcelain light was immediately revealed and it was obviously new.

So I asked the stall owner for a refund, but everyone argued and disagreed, and finally gave up with a refund of 200 yuan. The old man was so angry that he left in anger. There is a stall that specializes in antique bronze mirrors. The stall owner said he is from Xuzhou. He mostly sells Han mirrors and Tang mirrors, and the asking price is quite moderate.

Among them, the Four Mountains Warring States Mirror is the most eye-catching. Its clear feather pattern and exquisite appearance are extremely rare. However, if you look carefully, it neither looks like an unearthed cultural relic nor a family treasure passed down from generation to generation. If you only rely on the graphics and figures in the book, According to the description, if you make a purchase as if you were literate by looking at pictures, you will definitely have to pay "tuition". There are indeed two exquisite bronze mirrors worth stopping to admire. One is the four-spirited regular mirror of the Han Dynasty, with a bright silver back and a little bit of green. The clarity of the patterns and inscriptions is at the level of a head mold, and the diameter is enough to be 18 centimeters. The other side is a mirror of the mythical beasts of the Six Dynasties, with a black lacquer back and high relief. It is in good condition and looks like new. It is about 15 centimeters in diameter.

Such a high-grade bronze mirror cannot be forged by man. It must be a masterpiece that was oxidized and practiced deep underground two thousand years ago. It is true that the ancients did not see the mirror of today, but the mirror of today once illuminated the ancients.

Who gets the treasure depends entirely on the buyer's vision and luck.

Soon, there were many merchants in Sijiu City who collected "old goods". They often used loudspeakers to shout in various alleys. They knew how to collect some old copper coins, silver coins, banknotes, old wine, porcelain, furniture, medicine boxes, etc. which were basically a little older. want,

They were holding signs in their hands that read, "Recycling all kinds of old furniture and old wine at high prices." Many items were priced very high, and most people didn't have such prices at home, such as some Moutai liquor from the 1970s, Angong Niuhuang Pills, and signed Yuan Big heads, official kiln porcelain, etc. Of course, there are also those who specialize in recycling old wine, because after all, there are only a handful of comprehensive professionals. Some items are marked with high prices to arouse the interest of residents and then lead the purchasers to their homes to see them. The sharp eyes of merchants will not let go of every corner of farmers' homes. In the past few years, many things were sold to merchants for a few to tens of yuan.

These merchants were very eloquent and felt that they were very sincere when they told residents that they were embarrassed to ask for high prices. It didn’t take much discernment to get up early to collect old goods, because there were no fakes at that time.

Uncle Zhao, who lives in a courtyard next to the courtyard, had a carved table taken away. The table was really beautiful. It was covered with carved patterns. Although it was old and worn, it was not deformed and was very heavy. There were many miscellaneous things in the decoration of the new home. Cleaned, cleaned and renovated, this table was also scrubbed and put outside to dry out while thinking about how to place it.

I heard a loudspeaker shouting from outside: I bought it at a high price, so I called him in to see if there was anything he wanted in this pile. The merchant did not take a fancy to the pile of clutter. Instead, he said that the table looked very nice and he could use it in his new house in a classic style. Go up, say, let Uncle Zhao have a cigarette and chat for a while, give him five hundred, and then take him away.

Uncle Zhao also felt that there was no use for the table just sitting there. It was a good thing to give it to people who could use it. Besides, the money was already a lot for him.

It is said that someone in Zhao's uncle served as an official, so it seems to be Tongpan. This table is actually made of red sandalwood, and it is well-preserved and the carvings are very exquisite. It is rare to see such old things now.

The antique dealer finally sold it to a collector for 100 million, and the table was later sold at the Sijiucheng auction for 215.

It is also because of this that the entire Nanluogu Alley has smelled the huge profits of old objects. It was also at this time that Bangge realized how valuable old objects are. Now he has no other way out and can only put his thoughts on repurchasing the originals. We're in the courtyard.

You must know that there are many people in this courtyard who have goods.

Of course, Banggen's family has no goods, because Banggen's family are all outsiders. The Jia family came to Sijiu City from no one knows which province when they were about 21 years old. To be honest, the Jia family is very lucky. , how many people had no place to live after coming to Sijiu City, but the Jia family entered the courtyard.

People of the Jia family have a glorious tradition of eating with a bowl in hand and scolding when putting down the bowl.

And the glory has been passed down to the next generation of the Jia family. Bangge has displayed the Jia family's white-eyed wolf tradition since he was a child. Bangge has been snacking on Silly Zhu's lunch box, but he has never had a good impression of Silly Zhu. Zhu was neither beaten nor scolded.

Also because of BangGeng, Qin Huairu had a reason to contain Sha Zhu, making Sha Zhu wait for more than ten years before he could get his wish. Banggeng's motto should be to hold grudges but not gratitude. No matter how much kindness you have to yourself, as long as it is not good for you, you are a bad person. No matter how much hatred you have for yourself, as long as it is good for you. This is his real father.

When Banggeng was growing up, we could see how he dealt with Xu Damao and Shazhu. Banggeng was a character who held grudges but not grudges. When he was young, Banggeng was entrusted by Xu Damao and hung up his shoes. It was precisely because of this incident that he Bangge has the shadow of his childhood. It can be said that this revenge must be avenged only after death.

Because of this incident, Bang Gang completely hated Sha Zhu, but Xu Damao used the excuse of recommending the projectionist to Bang Gang, and Bang Gang started to kneel down and lick Xu Damao, who hated him for being his wife.

He still holds a grudge against the stupid people and stick men who raised him for more than ten years. When Sha Zhu was about to recommend the municipal party committee job to Bang Geng, Bang Geng tied his mother to Sha Zhu's bed bitterly. Bangge is selfish.

The scariest thing about Banggeng is that it doesn’t hide itself, no matter good or bad, it is written on its face. This type of person is destined not to achieve a big career. Banggeng is penniless and has nothing but hatred for those who live a better life than him. Banggeng can be said to be the most selfish in the Jia family, but he is also the purest in the Jia family. This kind of people don't need to reform, they just need to look at their own faces.

As the eldest daughter of the Jia family, Jia Dang cannot tell from the appearance that the Jia family has inherited the identity of a white-eyed wolf. She is usually carefree, which makes people feel that she is not very scheming. On weekdays, she can't stand up to Silly Zhu, who is also a stupid father. People have the impression of respecting silly pillars. In fact, all this is just Jia Dang's superficial performance. Jia Dang does this because she deeply understands that her family can have such a beautiful life because of Silhouette. Therefore, he respects Silly Zhu on the surface, but is not polite at all when he wants benefits from Silly Zhu.

When Jia knew that Sha Zhu had bought a TV, he wanted to keep it for himself. He was afraid that Sha Zhu would not agree, so he took Sophora japonica and Qin Huairu with him.

In the end, in order to ease the relationship between Silly Zhu and Banggeng, he also complained about Lou Xiaoe's low salary after working as a restaurant manager. This was something he had no choice but to do. He said that it seemed like he could work in Lou Xiaoe's restaurant. How much advantage did Lou Xiaoe take?

In order to buy the Liu family's illegally built house, Lou Xiao'e's words were said to be useless. Then because Lou Xiao'e tripled her salary, she admitted that Lou Xiao'e was her mother. This shows that Jia Dang's white-eyed wolf attributes are not much weaker than his elder brother's BangGeng.

As the youngest child of the Jia family, Huaihua is also the inheritor of Qin Huairu. Huaihua does not inherit the Jia family's tradition of being wild, unreasonable, and becoming immortal.

She always looks pitiful and heartbroken, so if she wants to be recognized and pitied by others more easily, she needs to learn from Qin Huairu. When she was sick, Qin Huairu would not let the people in the courtyard listen to her words on the surface, and no one would care. But Huaihua understood and took advantage of lunch time to tell everyone.

The uncles and aunts in the hospital had to spend money to treat Qin Huairu. It turned out that Qin Huairu was able to get the money, but Lou Xiao'e messed up his arrangement.

It seems that there are many things that Jia Dang wants Huaihua to do, such as Jia Dang asking Huaihua to ask Lou Xiaoe for a salary increase, and asking Huaihua to call her mommy, etc. I feel that this is something Jia Dang instigated Huaihua to do. If No good. Can Sophora japonica do it?

Normally, Jia Dang and Huai Hua would treat each other to dinner and be given money by Jia Dang quite frequently, and this was even shown in the plot.

And Huaihua also recruited a son-in-law who really occupied Silhu's whole house, so people couldn't tell what was wrong. It can be said that among the three children of the Jia family, Sophora japonica has the deepest scheming, the darkest heart, weak appearance and extremely dark heart. Such people must always be vigilant, otherwise they will not be easily betrayed by her.
