Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 175 Shen Yu is a big belly

Shen Yu was very happy, if it wasn't for the fact that there were already people waiting in line outside, he would have embraced Meng Tao and kissed her a few times.

There were more and more people queuing up, so I could only make a long story short. After hanging up the phone in Beijing, Meng Tao dialed the phone number given by Ma Fengnian. After waiting for four or five minutes, Ma Fengnian ran over to answer, out of breath, and Meng Tao confessed the tea I don't have much to say about the other things, it feels very bad to be urged to call.

You must tell Grandpa Liu and the others about the engagement, and call again when you are ready to go back to the commune tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. There are not many people making long-distance calls from the post office of the commune.Grandpa Xu said just now that he would also call Liu Yongsheng.

In this day and age, communication is so difficult. It will take another ten years before mobile phones appear. The first batch of mobile phones are said to be as thick as bricks. They can carry a brick with a phone call, and carry a brick with a phone call... Think about it so funny!

Coming out of the post office, Meng Tao showed a bewildered smile on his face, and Shen Yu smiled even brighter. He took Meng Tao's hand and crossed the road without letting go, staring down at his fiancée with eyes that could drown someone to death.

If acquaintances saw the current Shen Yu, they probably wouldn't dare to recognize him, and would suspect that they met a idiot who looked very similar to Shen Yu.

Men and women go shopping openly holding hands, which is rare in this small city. Passers-by all looked sideways. Even though Meng Tao is from later generations, she is not as mentally strong as Shen Yu. Yes, come up with silly energy, hold her tightly and don't let go.

Meng Tao had no choice but to take out two masks from the satchel he was carrying, put one on for Shen Yu and one for himself, half of his face was covered, so he wouldn't be embarrassed to be surrounded by crowds, and then led Shen Yu into the black market.

There are many people in the black market, and the order is not better than that of the street, and Xiao Wangcai is packed in cloth pockets.

Just after the new year, there are many people visiting the black market, and there are also many things for sale. Everyone concentrates on doing business by themselves, and has no spare time to worry about how other people get bored.

Shen Yu held Meng Tao in one hand, and Xiao Wangcai in the other. Meng Tao wanted to hug Xiao Wangcai, but Shen Yu refused to let him - his fiancée didn't hug him, so why should Xiao Wangcai be treated that way?

From the street to the end of the street, most of them are food, cloth and clothing, homemade pastries and food, as well as stalls selling medicinal materials and antiques, and there are no dry goods.

Meng Tao stopped by the antique stall, took a closer look at the small plum vases, blue and white covered bowls, and jade seals.

Grandpa Shen Yu has a lot of old objects in his house. He has been fascinated by them since he was a child. Even if he has not studied appraisal, he can basically distinguish the real from the fake with just his eyesight. Seeing that Meng Tao is interested in these things, he gave her some pointers:

"The seal is an imitation. There is a very thin crack on the plum vase of the Qing Dynasty. It may break someday. The blue and white bowl is missing and it was repaired. It has lost its collection value...There is nothing to see on this stall. .”

The stall owner was a small man, who greeted him kindly at first, but after hearing Shen Yu's words, his face darkened immediately, and he snatched the small plum bottle from Meng Tao's hand:
"Give me a way to survive. If you don't want to buy it, please go elsewhere. I'm pointing at this stall to exchange a few catties of rice."

Meng Tao also looked at Shen Yu speechlessly: as long as you know, tell me later, there is no need to point out everything.

Shen Yu stroked Meng Tao's hair, glanced at the stall owner and his stall, leaned over and picked out two copper coins from a pile of copper coins on the left side of the stall, and handed them to Meng Tao: "This one can be played with a string."

Meng Tao then asked the stall owner, "How do you sell these two copper coins?"

The stall owner who was beaten by Shen Yu didn't even bother to look, and said weakly: "Give me one yuan, take it away!"

Meng Tao collected the copper coins, took out one yuan to give to the stall owner, and walked a long way with Shen Yu, and then took out another copper coin to look at, one was "Xianfeng Baoquan", from the Qing Dynasty.

The other one is "Great Song Tongbao", with clear handwriting and beautiful calligraphy. It must be very valuable for such a long time, but she was not sure, so she asked Shen Yu, "Is this copper coin of the Great Song Dynasty worth collecting?"

Shen Yu took the "Da Song Tong Bao", rubbed it in his palm, then threw it away, and looked at his little money fan with a smile: "This is the Da Song Tong Bao, which should be used to pick up big money. It has been handed down to the present, and the number is very small. High collection value. In the past two years, an overseas auction house once appeared, and it was sold for several 10 yuan."

"Wow, so valuable?"

"You are lucky. The two copper coins are well preserved. This Xianfeng Baoquan is also valuable. Grandpa's in-laws, the father of my aunt, is a collector. He also has a Dasong Tongbao and two Xianfeng Baoquan. His big Song Tongbao is a bit incomplete, he is so precious."

"Where is my luck? It's obviously you... Oh, so you saw these two copper coins a long time ago?"

"That's right, I saw it when I approached the stall."

"Then you still dare to say that kind of thing? Are you afraid that the stall owner will drive us away and not sell it to us?"

"The purpose of opening the door to do business is to make money. The owner of the stall is just a second-hand dealer. He doesn't know the true value of the two copper coins, but he is in this business and must know that the older the old things are, the more valuable they are. If we buy them from the beginning The stall owner will definitely notice the copper coins, take the opportunity to increase the price, and refuse to let go. We have to interfere with his attention first, and make him feel that the copper coins are not worth anything, so you can take one yuan away."

Meng Tao: "..."

I thought you were just upright, but you turned out to be a black-bellied person who is so ruthless in tricking people.

However, Meng Tao didn't care so much, and he was very happy to get two ancient copper coins worth hundreds of thousands.

Mengzhou City is not big, and it takes half a day to go shopping in and out of the city.Both of them didn't want to eat in the restaurant, and they started cooking together when they got home.

Meng Tao once asked Aunt Wang about the use of gas. Aunt Wang had never heard of gas tanks, but she knew about liquefied petroleum gas stoves, and said that they were only used by cadres and families in their work units.

It seems that this liquefied gas stove also depends on the index, and the index is still very tight. When it is the turn of the street residents to use liquefied gas, I am afraid that they will all enter the 80s.

So Meng Tao stopped looking forward to it, and slowly burned firewood and charcoal. Many people in later generations dream of eating food cooked in iron pots with firewood. She has eaten it for so long, and it is really delicious. Anyway, she doesn’t do anything now. , there is plenty of time.

After eating, they didn't go out in the afternoon, the two of them rested in the house, Xiao Wangcai was dissatisfied with Shen Yu's taking over his mistress, and he hugged him stickyly and refused to let go. Yes, he gnawed his face and bit his lips while stealing time, that's too much!
Xiao Wangcai yelled at Shen Yu sternly, unfortunately, he was kicked out by that bad guy, and he mercilessly closed the door, lying unhappily by the stove in the porch, with wisps of incense overflowing from the teapot on the stove The tea quickly cured him, and he squinted his eyes and looked intoxicated.
