Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 192 Chapter 192
The old man looked at Li Ping'an's expression, tentatively stretched out a finger, and said, "Young man, since you said that this was imitated by a celebrity before, then I will charge you 100 yuan, and you have picked it up."

To be honest, the price is not high.Su Shi's characters, no matter before liberation or after reformation, are top cultural relics with great collection value.

But what makes the price of cultural relics generally not high now? Even if this thing is bought in a cultural relic store in Forty-Nine City, it can't be sold for less than 100 yuan.

This is still the current price. After a few months, let alone sell this thing for money. If those young generals find out, not only will the thing be burned by them, but people will also be cleaned up.

"Uncle, let me tell you the truth. Even if you get this thing in the cultural relics store in Forty-Nine City, it can be sold for more than ten yuan. The 100 yuan you said is simply impossible. If you don't believe it , you can open a letter of introduction and follow me to Sijiu City to sell it yourself." Li Pingan returned the wooden box to the old man, shook his head, and said in a flat tone.

The old man carefully observed Li Ping'an's expression, and found that it didn't look like a fake. After hesitating for a while, he said again: "Young man, a dozen yuan is too little, you can add more, I think you really like it, as long as If your price is right, I will sell you."

After thinking about it, Li Pingan still stretched out two fingers: "Uncle, I can pay you 20 yuan. If you want, I will give you the money now."

"Well, if you add another ten yuan, I will give you this painting."

"20 is the most. If you take this word to a cultural relic store, they only give you a dozen yuan."

The old man smiled treacherously: "Little comrade, the dozen yuan you mentioned is the price charged by others. If they want to sell it, they will definitely not sell it at the original price."

After some haggling between the two, the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion copied by Su Shi was finally sold at a price of 25 yuan. Both of them looked very happy and felt that they had taken advantage of it.

After the money and goods were cleared, Li Pingan happily left here with the wooden box in his arms, and walked to an empty corner. Li Pingan directly put the things into the warehouse and left the corner swaggeringly.

Follow the way you came, and return to the bustling street just now.

Back and forth, it was almost time for dinner, and there were not many pedestrians on the bustling street just now.

I have just seen the things sold on the street. They are all local specialties, such as mushrooms and walnuts.

Walking slowly along this street, Li Pingan observed the nearby corners. Li Pingan wanted to find the ticket sellers here, and wanted to buy some local specialties through them to take back.

There may not be a pigeon market in a small city, but there must be a ticket dealer. In the era of planned economy, this profession existed no matter where you went.

After walking not far, I saw a man wearing an old military overcoat standing against the wall at the corner of the street, with his hands folded in his sleeves, a bullshit hat on his head, and a scarf around his neck. The face is tightly covered, only a pair of eyes are exposed.

Don't think about it, the person dressed in this picture is 100% a ticket dealer.

Li Pingan looked left and right, walked quickly to the side of the ticket dealer, and said in a low voice, "Comrade, I want to buy something, I wonder if you have a way here?"

The ticket dealer raised her head, looked Li Pingan up and down with her only eyes that were leaking out, nodded at Li Pingan, winked, turned and walked to the side.

"This guy is quite careful." Li Pingan walked in behind the film dealer, muttering softly.

The ticket dealer led Li Pingan into a small alley next to him, looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one there, he said, "I have all kinds of tickets here, just tell me what you want."

Hearing the ticket dealer's voice, Li Pingan looked over curiously, but he didn't expect that the ticket dealer was a woman, and women are rare in the ticket dealer business.

"That's the thing. I'm here on a business trip. I want to buy some local specialties to bring back. The quantity is a bit large. If you have connections, I can barter directly." Li Pingan didn't talk nonsense, and directly explained his intention .

After finally coming to the Northeast, Li Pingan will definitely buy some souvenirs to send back to others. Wang Yangzhi, Wan Tongsheng, Chen Youfu, Li Huaide, his old Taishan, etc., these people can’t send a special product of [-] to [-] catties , plus what my family eats for a year, this amount is not small.

How much can you buy tickets from the ticket dealers? If you can’t afford to buy something worth thirty or forty catties, and you have to spend money, why not just barter with them, which will save money and consume some of the warehouse’s inventory. grain and meat.

The surplus materials exchanged can also be exchanged for some money at the pigeon market. The risk of reselling food in the pigeon market is too high, and Li Pingan dare not, but it is no problem to resell some local products. Tons and tons of dumping, basically no one cares about you.

Farmers near the suburbs of Sijiu City, whenever the wild mushrooms and walnuts in the mountains are ripe, the whole village goes up the mountain to pick up the mountain products.After picking them up, those in broad daylight would dare to carry mountain goods into the city and set up stalls to sell them. As long as they don't openly sell them in crowded places, the police will not care about them.

After hearing Li Ping'an's words, the ticket dealer was a little angry, and said coldly: "You come from another place, what can you have in your hand, don't cross me, I am a woman who can snatch a life from a man, Nature has two brushes"

"I have 200 catties of rice and [-] catties of pork. See how much you can exchange for them. Give me a count. We will trade here at night." Li Pingan didn't care about the tone of the ticket dealer, and said lightly. .

Hearing Li Pingan's determined tone, the ticket dealer stared closely at Li Pingan's eyes, and Li Pingan met her eyes without giving in.

After a stalemate for a while, the ticket dealer was the first to speak: "How can I believe what you said is true?"

Li Pingan didn't talk nonsense, and took out 20 yuan directly from the warehouse, raised his hand in the air, and shook it at the ticket dealer: "I can give you the 20 yuan deposit first, if I can't get it at night When the goods come, use this money to compensate your loss, what do you think?"

The ticket dealer bowed his head in silence for a while, then raised his head and said, "I believe you, but your business is too big for me to take it."

"You can contact your colleagues, you should be able to eat this business together, right?" Li Pingan opened his mouth to help make suggestions.

The ticket dealer smiled wryly, but shook his head: "You are from out of town, and you don't know our local situation. Gaizhou is too small, and there are not many ticket dealers in the whole county. If all the ticket dealers add up, they can’t do your business.”

After listening to the ticket dealer's words, Li Pingan was stunned on the spot. Before coming to find the ticket dealer, Li Pingan didn't dare to take out too many goods, for fear that the ticket dealer in Gaizhou would not be able to eat them.

Thinking of only taking out 2 catties of supplies and exchanging a little less, according to the black market price of 260 cents per catty of rice and one piece of pork per catty, the total is [-] yuan.Even if a ticket dealer can't eat it, if the ticket dealer contacts his colleagues, he can eat it no matter what, who knows this is the case.

After being stunned for a while, Li Pingan quickly realized, smiled helplessly, looked at the ticket dealer again and said, "Comrade, please contact your colleagues to see how much you can eat, and report the number to me. change"

The ticket dealer was silent for a long time this time, and Li Pingan didn't rush, just lit a cigarette and waited slowly.

"I can eat all three hundred catties of rice, and fifty catties of pork. What do you think?" The ticket dealer did a mental calculation and quickly gave the answer.

It's all here, no matter what, I have to change some supplies to go back, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat!It's just that my own entrepreneurial plan has been declared aborted before it even started again.

A total of 110 yuan of things, I keep it for myself, plus I will give it away when I go back. The rest of the things are not worthy of going to Pigeon City for an adventure, so let’s eat slowly.

"Okay, how much can I exchange for these materials?"

"It's hard to say, I'll convert it into 100 yuan for you, and I will give you 100 yuan of goods at that time."

Well, this is ten yuan less than the price I calculated earlier.

"In this case, I can only give you ten yuan as a deposit. You can get more mountain products. Besides, isn't your place near the sea? You can also get some seafood."

"Okay, at 9 o'clock tonight, it's still this place, and then we will meet and make a deal"

After the two discussed the trading time, they broke up and left.

After coming out of the alley, it was time for lunch. Li Pingan randomly found a restaurant for lunch, and was going back to the guest house to lie down in the afternoon.

It's cold outside, and there's no place to go shopping. It's better to lie in the bed of the hostel and read a book.

After eating, I went back to the door of the room in the guest house. The door was locked from the inside, and Li Pingan knocked on the door.Zhang Youcai's vigilant voice came from inside, "Who?"

"I, Li Ping'an"

Immediately after Li Pingan finished speaking, footsteps came from inside, and soon, Zhang Youcai opened the door from the inside.

After scanning the room, there were still no figures of Zhang and Huang, and Li Pingan asked, "Have they not come back yet?"

"Nope"

"Haven't you eaten yet? You go to eat first, I'll take care of the bag"

"Okay, I'll go and have a meal and I'll be back, you watch for a while"

After Zhang Youcai left, Li Pingan undressed and lay down on the bed, picked up a book and read it. As for the safety of Zhang Youcai and Huang, Li Pingan was not worried at all.

These two are old Jianghu, two big men, with guns on their bodies, what can happen in broad daylight.

In the afternoon, Li Pingan and Zhang Youcai were lying on the bed reading a book. Zhang Huang and Zhang Huang happily opened the door and walked in, carrying big and small bags.

It seems that I went out in the morning and got a lot of good things.
