Rebirth 1982 Be the stubborn master

Chapter 18
Back in the courtyard, Du Kang suddenly saw that his home was surrounded by water, and many residents stretched their necks curiously to see what was going on.

Du Kang hurried over, seeing that Liu Erdan was not working there, he also looked in, pulled Liu Erdan past him, and asked, "What's the situation?"

"A foreign girl came over at noon and said she was looking for you, but she hasn't left yet."

Babes?Needless to say it was Irina, Du Kang hurried in, and his parents were entertaining them inside.

Of course, it is not correct to say that it is entertainment. The few people sat there silently, drinking tea in silence, really having nothing to talk about.

Irina was in a hurry and fiddled with her own statue, looking very satisfied with her expression.

Seeing him come back, several people looked at him in unison.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Du Kang was so embarrassed that he didn't keep her waiting for a long time, but was surrounded by people in his own home.

But I also know that it has been reopened soon, and there are few foreigners in China. No matter where it goes, it is easy to cause a sensation of onlookers, let alone such a beautiful girl, how could it not attract attention.

"You are usually so busy, you are not at home every day?"

"How is it possible? Today is mainly because a pair of horn lamps in the Forbidden City are broken. Knowing that I can make them, I specially invited me to repair them. It didn't come back until now."

"Really?"

Irina's beautiful eyes brightened slightly. She had visited the Forbidden City and knew that the Forbidden City is the largest museum in this country, and it is also the museum with the most complete exhibits and the most cherished.

In the United States, it is equivalent to the Metropolitan Museum, which is the NO.1 in the national museum industry.

Unexpectedly, such a large museum would need this man in front of him to restore cultural relics.

"What is a horn lamp, may I have a look."

Du Kang handed her the horn lamp in his hand and briefly introduced it.

When she heard that the lamp was made of hard horns, Irina couldn't believe that the horns had nothing to do with the lamp in front of her, yet they could be made.

Looking carefully at the horn lamp, the more you look at it, the more strange it becomes.

"Can you sell this to me?"

"No problem, it's just that the horn lamps are difficult to make and expensive. A pair costs a hundred dollars."

Irina readily took out a Franklin card and gave it to him.

Uh, I forgot that she is a rich woman. She travels to foreign countries these days and can afford to drive a car. Can she have no money?

He quickly took out a pair of horn lamps from the cabinet and handed them to her, and said enthusiastically, "It is difficult to make lamps, and you can come to me to repair any damage in the future."

"Thank you, I will find you next time I need you."

And after-sales service, Irina is even more satisfied.

Du Kang waved his hand to show that it was okay, because he just said casually that when she returned to China, she could come back from the other side of the ocean to repair it for a hundred dollars.

Please, don't talk about lost wages, I don't know how much the plane ticket costs.

Irina left with her things, and Du Kang was surrounded by his parents and asked why the other party gave him a hundred dollars, a wooden carving and two small lamps, which were not worth so much money.

Du Kang explained the matter and learned that the woodcarving had already paid for it, and what he gave was only the money for the horn lamp, and the two didn't believe it.

One hundred dollars for two lights is really ridiculous.

Du Kang explained, "Really, this is called a sheep's horn lamp. The production process is complicated, and in addition to the ancient legend that the utensils made of animal horns have the effect of warding off evil spirits, that's why they are so expensive. Dad happened to be at home, so I got off the bicycle."

"What?"

Du Kang took out the letter of introduction from Mr. Luo, and boasted, "I'm doing something for the museum now, and I need horns. Mr. Luo wrote me a note asking me to go to the slaughterhouse to look for it."

Upon hearing that he was helping the museum, Du Ming immediately agreed to lend him the car, and Du Kang rode to the slaughterhouse.

Without talking all the way, he quickly came to the slaughterhouse. Du Kang was looking for a place to stop his bicycle, when someone shouted, "What are you doing, you are not allowed to stay here."

Following the shout, there was a thin guard standing there holding a shotgun, looking at him warily.

Without any hesitation, Du Kang took out the letter of introduction and shouted, "I'm here for shopping. Here is the letter of introduction from the museum."

He didn't dare to hesitate, the current guards were real guards, equipped with guns, and had the right to shoot.

If you thought he was sneaking around and doing no good, and raised his hand to take a shot, there was really no place to cry.

Seeing that he had a letter of introduction, the skinny guard came over to take the letter of introduction and asked him to wait a while. After a while, a man in his 40s and [-]s hurried over.

Shake his hand and say, "I'm a salesman from a slaughterhouse, what are you doing with horns?"

As a salesperson, people from the museum often see him, but they are all purchased from the cafeteria. This is the first time I have seen him come here to buy meat and go get horns.

"For the restoration of cultural relics, good horns are needed to restore the horn lamps. I specially asked me to come and buy some."

"Come with me."

The man didn't doubt it, and in fact he didn't need to doubt it. The ram's horns are not very useful, and whoever has nothing to do with it can use it for something bad.

He led him there, walked through the smelly slaughterhouse, and came to the corner, where a pile of stinky horns appeared in front of his eyes.

Horns, large and small, were discarded there at will.

Du Kang went to look for it, and quickly picked out suitable horns, packed them in sacks, and picked out half a sack.

"Brother, how much are these horns?"

"Whatever you pay, a bunch of useless things are given to you, and it should be considered as a contribution to the restoration of cultural relics."

Du Kang took out a cigarette and handed him a cigarette, saying, "How can that work, besides, I have something to ask you."

The man knew what he was thinking without even looking up.

"You want to buy meat, right? I don't care about other people, but if you come here with a letter of introduction from the museum, I can sell you two catties."

Facing his surprised gaze, the man explained, "As long as you come to the slaughterhouse, there is no one who doesn't want to buy more meat to go back."

Du Kang stuffed the cigarettes into his pocket, and wanted to ask him for help, but it would take two catties more.

"It's useless to give cigarettes. Now the meat is tight, I can only give you two catties."

Du Kang had no choice but to use the name of the museum to visit the slaughterhouse. He wanted to get more meat back, but they refused.

Yes, he is short of meat, the question is who is not short?
They are all missing, and they want to get them all.

It would be nice if someone could give you two catties.

Didn't you hear what he said, it's for the museum to save face, if it was me, no one would care about it.

Pull Franklin from him.

"Brother, this is what I got from painting for foreign friends, please help."

"Mei Dao? That's fine, you kid is capable.

It happened that some leaders in the factory wanted to go abroad and needed foreign exchange.

According to the current official exchange price of one hundred US dollars, one US dollar is exchanged for 1.9 soft sister coins.

Of course that's official.If you go to the black market and find someone who is in urgent need, you can even exchange it for [-]:[-].

But in the factory, I can't give too much, how about I give you a hundred catties of meat, plus two hundred yuan? "

"No problem, just give it as you see."

Du Kang thought for a while and agreed.

Now the meat is only one yuan a catty, plus 200 yuan, it is only worth [-] yuan, it seems that I have lost a lot.

But you can’t calculate it like this. Meat has a price but no market. The market price is [-] yuan, but if you want to buy it at this price, then wait in line.

Queuing for half a day, it's good to buy a couple of catties, if you want to buy more, they won't sell it.

So much so that a catty of meat can be sold for more than two yuan on the black market, and even more than three yuan for black hearts.

One hundred catties of meat is worth two or three hundred.

Plus two hundred yuan, no loss.
