Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 843, picking up the leaks

With the guidance of Lao Jintou, Jiang Yan will know where to go to find treasures. To be honest, in Sijiu City now, it is almost the same if there are not only treasures everywhere, but others don't know the value of these things now. This provided Jiang Yan with a good opportunity.

"Master Luo, your family's Erhu and Xiaohu haven't found Fan Zhe since they came back."

There is still a family tree in Lao Jintou's family. Everyone's name has been decided, and they are arranged according to benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust.

Originally, the generation of Lao Jintou's son was a generation of letters. However, after the three sons became adults, they changed their names one after another due to the environment around them and their own family. However, the nicknames were still Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu. .

Old Jintou lived a very timid life during those years and suffered a lot. In addition, his background was not good, so his life was not very easy. Among his three sons, only the eldest son was arranged a job by Jiang Yan. The other two children did not find jobs after returning from their educated youth and had been idle at home.

Jiang Yan thought for a while and decided to discuss with Lao Jintou and let their two sons work in the new factory Jiang Yan was planning to open. However, they would only have one name there. Their task was to go to the countryside to make purchases. These antique furniture.

It doesn't matter whether they know it or not, there is still Lao Jintou who is my father.

"What's the matter, Xiao Jiang, you want to take care of my two unsatisfactory sons." It's been a while since the two boys in my family came back, and there has been basically no progress in finding jobs. Think about it, many factories these days are not working. Recruiting workers, even if they were recruited, would not be in their own homes, so when they saw their two sons, Lao Jintou was so worried that he couldn't sleep all day long. When Jiang Yan said that Lao Jintou was very worried Spirit.

"What does this mean about our relationship? No, I bought hundreds of acres of land outside Chongwenmen a while ago, built a factory, and plan to start a small business. I still need manpower, so how about you help me. "Jiang Yan said with a smile.

There is a saying that flowers are carried in a sedan chair and used as money. This is not wrong at all.

"You're flattering me. Xiao Jiang, you are taking care of me and giving me face. Xiao Jiang is giving me face. I have to carry it. I didn't mention it. If you need those two boys in my family, feel free to come over." Regarding the meaning of Jiang Yan's words, the old man Jin Tou naturally understood, and he also knew that Jiang Yan spoke like this to take care of his face.

"My two boys can't bear it on their shoulders and can't carry it in their hands. You should take more care of them when the time comes." Lao Jintou continued.

Naturally, Lao Jintou heard about the construction site at Chongwenmen. It was still making a fuss for a while. Everyone was guessing what was going on. Today Jiang Yan talked about it, but Lao Jintou was shocked. , these days, it is not an ordinary person to have such a large financial resources to get such a place for the boss. Since Jiang Yan wants to support his two sons, how can he not accept it, but this ugly thing must be said up front.

Hearing Lao Jintou ask this, Jiang Yan could only tell his plan.

"Okay, I agreed on my son's behalf. You are not a loser in your relationship. It means spending two portions to chew grain, and our third son will work for you. Capitalists are still capitalists. This is a good plan." Lao Jin Tou smiled and said to Jiang Yan.

"Master Luo, Xiao Jiang is not an ignorant person. Not to mention the salary of the two brothers, I will add five yuan for each item you collect, which will be considered as wine money for you. What do you think? Sample."

"That's a good relationship. I have to say, Xiao Jiang, you are very loyal. Just look at it! Our third son did this job beautifully for you." Lao Jintou said and gave Jiang Yan a thumbs up.

.

Lao Jintou’s home is in Jinyu Hutong not far from here. What’s different from other homes is that Lao Jintou’s house is an independent house. Although there are only seven houses, the total area is only less than 300 square meters. You must know that this is a small house. Within the Second Ring Road, every inch of land will be at a premium in the future.

However, their ancestors were also very wealthy. The reason why they could keep this house was that Lao Jintou saw that the situation was not good and donated everything he had. Otherwise, this house would not be kept.

People who lived through that era were not simple. Old Jintou's family was still very particular, and not talking while eating or sleeping was the basic rule. After dinner, his wife and several daughters-in-law were cleaning the house, while Old Jintou and his four brothers sat there drinking water.

People with good grades basically look down on Lao Jintou and his family, and the wives they marry are basically in the same situation as them, so this is not surprising.

"Second child, third child, I've found a place for you two where you can earn some grain. When the time comes, you have to work harder." Lao Jintou took a sip of water and spoke.

"Dad, what kind of jobs are they looking for?" the boss said curiously. He knew that finding a job for him had been a struggle before. This was thanks to his own old man who knew what they were good at, otherwise he would have had trouble finding a job. No, I was still worried before, but now I found two jobs, so the boss asked like this.

When the boss asked, Lao Jintou told what happened today.

"I thought it was someone's feelings. It was our old director who accidentally caused such a big fight." The old golden-headed boss said.

"Okay, as long as your family knows about it, don't go out and make noises. Go there and work hard and don't cause trouble." Lao Jintou made the final decision.

.

In half a month, Jiang Yan and his driver went to various trust stores throughout the Forty-Nine Cities as soon as they got off work. As long as they saw something good, Jiang Yan would throw away the money without hesitation.

To be honest, Jiang Yan wouldn't dare to spend like this if he didn't have his own space and the money given by Liu Zi and Xu Damao.

Jiang Yan not only spent all the money he had on hand, but also asked his wife to withdraw 5,000 yuan, which finally ended. In terms of calligraphy and painting, Jiang Yan only bought works by people whose names he had heard of, and bought a total of nine paintings by Qi Baishi, 21 paintings by Xu Beihong, and 15 paintings by Zhang Daqian.

At the same time, there are more than a hundred works by Wu Zuoren, Li Keran, Wang Xuetao, Fu Baoshi, Pan Tianshou, Cheng Shifa and Guan Shanyue. Of all these paintings, more than half are large-scale works over eight feet tall.

As for the seal stones made of Pingzhang aniseed, Jiang Yan was also very willing to buy them. After this period of madness, Jiang Yan had a total of more than thirty pieces of Tianhuang stone, known as the "Emperor of Seal Stones", and five pieces of Tianhuang stone. There are more than ten pieces of chicken blood stone known as the "Queen of Seal Stones".

Jiang Yan also bought more than ten pieces of stones with clear and beautiful colors, such as hibiscus stones that could be used to carve seals. Just talking about being a plaything. Otherwise, carve the seal yourself.

He received all these things in his own space. The things Jiang Yan bought would be worth at least ten buildings in the future based on the lowest value. Estimated hundreds of small goals.

In addition, it is estimated that the current house will basically have no problem if it lies flat.

Jiang Yan also encountered something very interesting while buying calligraphy, paintings and seal stones. While buying these things, Jiang Yan discovered that in this era, the value of things like jade and cat's eyes was not very clear, and the prices were quite low. , so after knowing this situation, how could Jiang Yan give up on this matter of picking up leaks? One-third of the money he spent was on things like jade cat eyes.

One of Jiang Yan's favorite items was an emerald ring he bought from an old lady for five hundred yuan.

The ring of the old lady's ring was so green that it was almost oily. It weighed a full ten carats, and the ring's grip was Arabic style. This thing is not common. Jiang Yan was happy for several days after buying it.
