Chapter 111

Bai Zirui picked up the tea and took a sip. It turned out to be the famous Jinghua jasmine tea in the capital. Jinghua jasmine tea is produced from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, AH, Sichuan in accordance with the traditional custom of drinking fragrant slices (scented tea) since the Qing Dynasty. High-quality raw materials are selected from major tea-producing areas such as China, and unique formulas are used, refined and processed, and blended.

Jinghua jasmine tea combines the different characteristics and flavors of different flavors of tea from major tea-producing areas. , the soup color is clear and bright, the aroma is overflowing, the taste is mellow, sweet and refreshing, rich and long-lasting, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.

After drinking three courses of tea, the uncle stood up and said with a smile, "Young man, come on! I'll show you those chairs and coffee table." Bai Zirui quickly got up and followed.

The uncle brought Bai Zirui to a small room where the sundries were stored, opened the door and said, "Young man, those chairs and coffee table are here. My son is getting married and the wife wants to buy some new furniture. The old furniture in my house I was worried that there was no place to put it, and your aunt asked me to chop up these old furniture for firewood!"

After the door of the small room was opened, Bai Zirui took a closer look into the small room, and saw that the inside was full of farm tools, four chairs and two tea tables were folded and placed in the corner against the wall. He saw this situation Distressed straight throbbing.

Bai Zirui went into the small room and carefully moved out the chairs and coffee table. After moving the chairs away, he even found a pair of incense tables. The incense table is a unique traditional Chinese furniture, which is derived from the incense burner. Generally speaking, most of the furniture is square or rectangular, while most of the incense tables are round and tall, and the legs and feet are bent exaggeratedly, and there are more than three curved feet, and there are "cups" under the feet.

No matter indoors or outdoors, the incense table is mostly set in the center, with no one to rely on, and it is pleasant to watch from all sides.The incense table was very popular before the Qing Dynasty. Burning incense was originally one of the sacrificial ceremonies of the ancients in our country. By the Tang and Song Dynasties, it had evolved into a part of people's daily life.

From the words "burning incense to play the piano", "burning incense to bathe", "cleaning the window, burning incense in it" and other words, we can see the scene of cigarettes in the daily life of ancient nobles, which shows the ancient Chinese literati's pursuit of a very vulgar and elegant life. Therefore, it is reasonable that the incense for burning incense and setting the stove has almost become the necessary furniture in the court room.

This pair of incense tables is a five-legged clay incense table, both made of huanghuali, with five-legged bent legs, tiger claws kicking Pengya, embossed with Ruyi longevity peach patterns, implying good fortune and longevity.The waist is small, and the waist is opened, which perfectly blends the lines of the dental plate and the legs and feet, which is simple, light and full of three-dimensionality.

The chairs, coffee table, incense table in front of him, and the Eight Immortals table in the middle hall, and the table are a complete set of furniture, which makes Bai Zirui very satisfied. Even if the bed of Landlord Liu's house cannot be bought, this trip to the countryside is still very rewarding .

After the uncle helped Bai Zirui move a few pieces of furniture out of the small room, he asked with a smile, "How is it, young man? Are all the old furniture you want complete?"

Bai Zirui nodded and said, "Master, this set of old furniture in your house is very suitable for me. How much are you going to pay me for this whole set of old furniture?"

The uncle was a little undecided, he said hesitantly: "Young man, let's make a price!"

Bai Zirui thought for a moment and said, "Master, for the sake of you being Xiao Xing's elder, I paid 400 yuan for these old furniture, what do you think?"

The price paid by Bai Zirui was the cooperation between him and He Yuzhu, who bought furniture for weddings and weddings. In the 70s, the total cost of weddings and weddings was about 1000 yuan.

Among them, three turns and one sound need to be purchased: bicycles, sewing machines, watches, and radios, which cost about 400 yuan.

Buying furniture is commonly known as 36 legs: dressing cabinets, high and low cabinets, etc., and the cost is about 420 yuan.The wedding banquet costs about 10 yuan for 100 tables.

Bai Zirui's current price is enough for them to buy a new set of furniture. Meng Xiaoxing was shocked when he heard the price of 400 yuan for this old furniture. She didn't even like this pile of junk Well, how can the new furniture in the city look good here? Brother Rui gave them 400 yuan. If you have this money, you might as well spend it on new furniture!

After the uncle heard Bai Zirui's quotation, he said in disbelief: "Young man, isn't your price too high?"

Bai Zirui said affirmatively: "Master, this set of old furniture is worth the price in my opinion. As the saying goes, a good heart is hard to buy. If you are worried, we can make a written proof."

After he finished speaking, he took out the paper and brush from his body, wrote down two documents and stamped his fingerprints, and then asked Meng Xiaoxing to act as a witness to also stamp his fingerprints on them, and finally handed them over to the uncle. Under Rui's guidance, he tremblingly pressed his fingerprints on it.

Bai Zirui took back one of the documents, and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry this time!"

The uncle carefully put away the other receipt, and said excitedly: "Young man, thank you! You have really helped my family a lot."

Bai Zirui took out two cards of Great Unity from his pocket, and said loudly: "Master, I will give you a deposit of 2 yuan first, and you can help me find a truck from the village so that I can transport these furniture back. I will pay for the journey." out.

I will ask you, Xiao Xing, to take me to the village again to see if I can still receive some old objects. When the car arrives, I will ask you to help me find someone to help me carry these furniture into the car and transport it away. "

The uncle took the money and said with a smile: "Young man, don't worry! I will go to the village to help you find a car now, and when I come back, I will help you find someone to carry the furniture. I will definitely take care of these things for you."

The uncle changed the subject and said: "Young man, you can go to the home of landlord Liu in our village. His house used to be a landlord, so there should be something good for you." After finishing speaking, he drove the ox cart to the village .

After Bai Zirui left, he asked Meng Xiaoxing to take him to Landlord Liu's house. Landlord Liu's house was not connected together like other villagers' houses in Mengjia Village. His house was alone at the other end of Mengjia Village.

On the way to Landlord Liu's house.Meng Xiaoxing introduced that more than half of the land in their village was owned by Landlord Liu before liberation. Although his family was a landlord, he treated the villagers well. Rent grain is collected only when there is a harvest.

Landlord Liu's old man didn't feel sorry for the villagers who couldn't pay the rent in the years when the harvest was not good, and let them continue to rent his land, and pay more rent to make up for it when the harvest is good next year. That's fine.

The two chatted while walking, and soon arrived at Landlord Liu's house. Meng Xiaoxing knocked on the door and shouted, "Are Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu at home?"

Landlord Liu came to open the door when he heard the movement at the door, and saw Meng Xiaoxing standing in front of his house with a strange young man, jokingly said: "Hey! Xiao Xing, you don't mean to bring your partner to your uncle's house Recognize the door!"

Meng Xiaoxing said shyly: "Uncle Liu, you are always joking! I like it's my Fifth Brother. This is his good friend Bai Zirui. I call him Brother Zirui."
