Huayu since 1980

Chapter 6

Yanjing's alleys were already lively, especially after a few foreign young people suddenly broke into them. Although it was almost noon, many people had already started cooking.

It often happens that you borrow some vinegar from me, and I go to your house to borrow some salt. It often happens that you are wandering around with crying children in your arms, and you are everywhere around a chessboard.

However, at this moment, they are still attracted by Johnson and others. In this era, people have extremely complicated emotions towards foreigners, with envy and wariness.
Wu Jianye looked at these people, if they can persist for more than [-] years and live here, then they don't need to do anything, and they will all be at least multi-millionaires
The life of lying and winning is as simple as that.

"Everyone, this is it!" Chen Ming stopped in front of a large courtyard.

The high gate compound looks a little different from the small courtyards just passed by.

"There are seven families living here. One of the old gentlemen used to be the imperial chef of the previous dynasty. This used to be his mansion, but it was later rebuilt due to historical issues. The government just came back two years ago. A residence." Chen Ming introduced to everyone.

After listening to Wu Jianye's translation, Johnson and the others were also very excited. This old man used to be an imperial cook, so he must have a treasure from the former royal family in his hand.

"Wu, you did a great job, I like it very much!" Johnson patted Wu Jianye on the shoulder and said.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "We Chinese people have always been hospitable, Johnson, you should get used to this!"

"Haha, where is that old gentleman?" Johnson asked eagerly.

At this time, Zhao Lei walked out with a hesitant expression on his face.Next to him was an old man with a tense expression, a bit haggard, leaning on a cane, and he didn't look energetic.

"Mr. Wu, although the old man Liu was the imperial cook of the previous dynasty, after that period of time, the antiques he originally hid have long since disappeared!" Zhao Lei said.

Although he couldn't understand Zhao Lei's words, seeing his appearance, Johnson's heart trembled and he asked eagerly, "Wu, what's the matter?"

Wu Jianye said without changing his face: "This old man does have some royal treasures from the previous dynasty, but he wants to keep them in his hands to preserve their value, but you don't have to worry, I will do this work, and you will follow my eyes later. Just do it!"

"Okay, okay! Wu, I'm counting on you this time!" Johnson said sincerely.

"Are you all friends?" Wu Jianye said slyly.

Johnson and others were very moved.
"My little brother, the little old man really doesn't have any antiques in his hands, otherwise he would have exchanged money at the Friendship Store!" Old Man Liu said tremblingly.

Wu Jianye first showed a reassuring smile to Johnson, and then said to Old Man Liu with a pleasant face: "Old man, don't be nervous, it doesn't matter if you don't have antiques, as long as you have some old-looking items in your hand!"

Zhao Lei asked suspiciously: "Mr. Wu, very old objects are useless, and they are not antiques!"

On the other hand, after listening to Wu Jianye's words, old man Liu suddenly revealed a hint of shrewdness in his cloudy eyes, "What do you mean, brother?"

Wu Jianye looked at old man Liu's expression, and knew that he understood what he meant, "It's good that the old man understands himself!"

Then Old Man Liu showed a bit of embarrassment: "There are old things, but if they find out, it will be troublesome."

Although the old man Liu understood what Wu Jianye meant, but in the current period, he has just been released for two years, and he is naturally afraid of foreigners, so he said: "I'm afraid the consequences of doing this will be inappropriate? "

"What are you so worried about? This group of people will return to the United States tomorrow. Even if they know the truth of the matter, they are still thousands of miles away in the United States. They can still fly over to find you!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Old man Liu's eyes lit up, but he still asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"Really!" Wu Jianye said firmly.

Old man Liu lightly hoeed the ground with his walking stick, and said: "The little old man really has a few things here, but one of them may not be so easy to talk about!"

Wu Jianye was also a little curious and asked, "What is it?"

Old man Liu moved closer to Wu Jianye's ear and whispered, "The chamber pot!"

Wu Jianye's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is there any taste?"

"It's quite heavy!" Old man Liu was a little embarrassed, obviously this is what he has been using
"Don't be afraid of the smell. In this case, you take out those things first, as for that thing." Wu Jianye thought for a while, and said to Zhao Lei: "Zhao Lei, you go in with the old man, and help the old man clean a treasure. After the smell is gone, you can take it out again!"

The conversation between Wu Jianye and Old Man Liu was very quiet, especially the later part of the discussion, so Zhao Lei didn't hear Wu Jianye's conversation, but he really couldn't think of any treasures that would be interesting, could it be pickled vegetables? Mut, it's just that it's not an antique, is it?
But just now he had heard what Chen Ming said, and just now they had exchanged foreign exchange certificates worth a thousand dollars.

So he immediately said: "Mr. Wu, don't worry!"

After speaking, the old and the young walked back to the yard again.

Seeing the old man Liu returned to the yard, Johnson immediately asked, "Wu, how are things going?"

Wu Jianye wiped the sweat from his brow, and said: "Fortunately, this old man really has a few treasures hidden in his hands. He didn't want to show them at first, but I told you that you would pay a high price, so he took them out." of!"

"Haha, let me just say, money is everything, who can refuse the temptation of money!" Johnson seemed very happy.

"Wu, if I really get some treasure this time, your reward will definitely not be less!"

"Don't be happy, just now I heard from the old man that he still has a real treasure in his hand. When his ordinary treasures are brought out later, you don't need to be stingy with the money in your hand. I hope this can impress the old man and let him Take out the real treasure!" Wu Jianye said.

"I understand, I understand!" Johnson nodded again and again, only feeling that today was too lucky: "Wu, can you tell me what kind of treasure it is?"

Wu Jianye looked around, and then whispered: "I heard that it was a vessel used by the former emperor to hold wine. You know that as long as these antiques are associated with the royal family, their value will be multiplied several times immediately!"

"Haha, I understand!" Johnson rubbed his palms, looking very excited.

It was really worth the trip.

After a while, the old man came out with two scrolls and a porcelain bowl.

The old man secretly gave Wu Jianye a reassuring look, and said, "This is Zheng Xie's painting of green pines, this is Jinnong's painting of moonlight, and this porcelain bowl is a folk kiln from the Qianlong period of the previous dynasty!"

Wu Jianye translated Old Man Liu's words to Johnson, and Johnson immediately took the three 'treasures' carefully from Old Man Liu's arms, and watched them carefully.

Wu Jianye showed a surprised expression: "Johnson, your luck is really great. Zheng Xie, Jin Nong and the other six masters are collectively known as the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou in the former dynasty and are well-known great painters! It is a rare masterpiece!"

"Really?" Johnson asked.

"Of course, you can check their information when you go back!" Wu Jianye said seriously.

"Okay, tell this old gentleman, I want these three treasures, and ask him how much they are."

Afterwards, Wu Jianye and old man Liu began to bargain, mainly to buy time for Zhao Lei, who was a little confused inside.
ten minutes later.

"Johnson, these three treasures, 900 RMB, can actually be lowered, but in order for the old man to take out that treasure, let's not get entangled in these details!" Wu Jianye said.

"That's right! Hurry up and ask this old gentleman to take out that treasure. You tell him that money is not a problem!"
