Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 12 Xu Beihong’s Horse

When one person opened his mouth to admit defeat, one of the other two people also opened his mouth.

"I've given up and will buy one tomorrow too."

"But this isn't over yet. We haven't even competed yet, so I feel a little bit unwilling."

"You and Boss Xueru will get married in two days. How about we compete again in Fengze Garden?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

"Dele, Fengze Garden is waiting for you."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu looked at the other people on the side and asked, "What do you think?"

They've all been exposed, what's there to say?

Several people cupped their hands one after another.

"I admit defeat."

"I'm also going to buy a piece of Sujin tomorrow. My mother has never used Sujin even though she's grown so big, so I should be filial to her."

"I'll buy one too..."

"..."

Most people chose to admit defeat. Only Zhang Qiang's expression changed. He didn't know what to say.
Su Jin was too much pressure for him.

I can afford it, but once I buy it, I will have to drink the northwest wind for this month.

Seeing that Zhang Qiang didn't speak, the faces of everyone around him changed.

Looking at Zhang Qiang, he said with contempt on his face: "Zhang Qiang, don't you want to embarrass our front door?"

"If this is the case, don't think of us recognizing you in the future."

Only then did Zhang Qiang's expression change and he said, "I didn't say I wouldn't buy it. It's just that we haven't competed yet, so I feel a little bit unwilling to admit defeat like this."

"Boss Xueru, when the store opens tomorrow, I, Zhang Qiang, will go buy it."

Everyone understood, but no one took Zhang Qiang's words to heart.

At this time, Old Man He came out again, holding a picture scroll in his hand.

Obviously, this scroll is an explanation to compensate Chen Xueru.

"Boss Xueru, I heard that you like old things."

"I did something wrong today. This painting of Xu Beihong's horse is quite good. You can keep it for appreciation."

Li Qiuzhu was startled when he heard this, although the antiques are not valuable now.But in a few decades, Xu Beihong's horse will cost at least tens of millions, and a house will be available.

It's really sincere enough to use it as compensation.

Of course, it's not that valuable now, after all, the person is not dead yet.

As we all know, dead painters are good painters and their paintings are more valuable.

But such a painting, even at today's prices, is still worth two to three hundred yuan.

If only a few years ago, it would have been sold for several thousand silver dollars.

Of course, the silver dollar depreciated so much at that time that one silver dollar could only buy half a catty of rice. For a horse with poor purchasing power, 2000 silver dollars was equivalent to 400 yuan.

Wait, he is not dead yet, and the 87 Immortal Scrolls are still in his hands. This...

Forget it, he can't afford it.

The value of the 87 Immortal Scroll can make Xu Beihong bankrupt twice. Even if he sells it, it will cost at least [-] to [-] yuan.

But Xu Beihong can still live for three years, let's see what happens then.

Well, first we can establish a relationship as a pen pal.

Chen Xueru was not polite, opened the scroll, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's forget it for today."

"Then bring me two bottles of wine, some peanuts, and a plate of pickles."

Old Man He breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart ached a little.It's all that damn Zhang Qiang's fault.

Let's not argue with him today. After Chen Xueru and Chen Xueru leave, we can settle the score with him.

Zhang Qiang couldn't afford to pay for the painting, so he had to pay for the winks from those people.

With Li Xiuzhu here, Chen Xueru would naturally not drink white wine mixed with water.

But after taking a sip, Chen Xueru said to Li Xiuzhu with emotion: "It really tastes different, but I like the previous wine better."

“It’s a little lighter and the aroma of wine is there.”

Hearing what Chen Xueru said, Li Xiuzhu turned to Old He and said, "Boss He, give us two bottles of your wine mixed with water."

"To be honest, the Niulanshan Erguotou without water is not as good as the one you mixed with water."

"It's light and refreshing. Although it lacks a bit of wine flavor, it has more fragrance."

Chen Xueru smiled when she heard this, knowing that Li Xiuzhu ordered it for herself, and felt sweet in her heart.

She also likes Li Xiuzhu's character. She doesn't care about real wine and fake wine. What she likes is good wine.

However, Chen Xueru still loves faces. She couldn't bear to hear that she drank fake wine, so she said to Old Man He: "Old Man He, why not just sell it as two types of wine, one light-flavored and one strong-flavored."

Old Man He was startled, and he didn't expect to have such a harvest.

He thought the fake wine business was ruined.

Isn’t it a good idea to blatantly sell fake wine mixed with water as real wine?
"Okay, I'll give you 3 cents cheaper for the fresh scented one."

One tael of strong incense costs 3 cents, which is 1 cents cheaper. He earns [-] cents more by selling a pound.

他这小店一天卖3斤假酒……不，是卖3斤清香型酒不难，这一天六毛3，10天就是6块3，一个月就是18块9的额外收入呢。

If the market is opened and the fresh scented products are sold well, earning an extra 30 yuan a month will not be a problem.

And this is still the retail price. If you include the purchase price, you can still get five yuan more than the original price.

Now that he could blatantly sell fake wine, he instantly felt that the painting he gave to Chen Xueru was worth it.

It paid back its capital in less than a year, and everything was profitable after that.

Chen Xueru also took advantage of the drinking time to introduce Li Xiuzhu to several celebrities at the front door. Of course, they were all present, and many of the famous people were not there.

Not to mention Mr. Niu and Mr. Pian, a big shot happened to be here today, a big name in the collecting world, Mr. Guan, the Admiral of the Nine Sects.

"Several of you, I heard that Mr. Niu and Mr. Guan are both famous in the collecting world."

"I'm also a little interested. I wonder if any of you can recommend any books for me to read?"

Master Niu smiled when he heard this and said, "The only one here who can be called everyone here is Laoguan, the nine-door admiral."

"You can see if my level is good enough for you. I'll just teach you."

As he spoke, Master Niu looked at Uncle Guan, smiled and said, "This is our uncle from the front door. Lao Guan, you have to give careful guidance."

Uncle Guan is now almost 45 years old. Although he is no longer young, he looks like he is in middle age. Hearing this, he said: "Since Mr. Niu has spoken, I must give you some advice."

"As the saying goes, you should read porcelain first when reading novels, so I recommend you read three books first."

"The first one is a book on pottery written by Qianlong's governor of pottery, and the second one is a book on porcelain by Xu Zhiheng from the Qing Dynasty. In addition, I also have a fragmentary copy left over from the Ming Dynasty, Jun kiln porcelain and Ding kiln porcelain."

"I'll leave you an address, No. 13, Wangfujing Wai Street. I'll ask you to come and pick up the book at some time."

"Okay, I'm happy today, so I'll leave first."

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Then shall I see you off?"

Uncle Guan shook his hand when he heard this.

"Forget it, your uncle, I'm not too old to move."

"Besides, Xueru is here, why are you joining in the fun?"

Hearing this, Chen Xueru chuckled and said, "Uncle Guan, I will definitely go with my man, so you don't have to worry about me."
