Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 116 Antique watches, transactions outside the city
Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, which meant that it could definitely be repaired.

It's just fashion items, and gold coupons are needed for repairing and buying and selling.

However, I now have 621 points of gold coupons, and repairing a few watches is a trivial matter.

He smiled and asked the acne, "Dude, do you still have this brand of watch?"

In terms of value preservation ability, Patek Philippe will definitely rank in the top three.

Chu Xiangqian naturally preferred this brand of watch collection.

Soon, there were two old watches in front of Chu Xiangqian, but the price couldn't be missed.

Of course, in the eyes of acne, the first watch was not a leak, but a throw of money into the water.

Although the two Patek Philippes at the back add up to 94 yuan, at least the watch can run and be used.

If the original watch strap is replaced, it looks like [-]% to [-]% new.

How could Chu Xiangqian listen to him, only the original watch strap is more valuable for collection.

I spent 94 to buy these two watches without any hesitation.

Then, under the gaze of a fool looking at acne, he walked to Gong Changqing's side.

The old man Gong also said with an expression of looking at a fool, "You are so rich that you are in a panic, why did you buy three watches that no one wanted?"

"What do you know?" Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "It's hard to buy a good heart if you have money. I'm happy with it. Can you control it?"

"Yes", Gong Changqing shook his head, if he came across a good piece of porcelain, even if he didn't eat or drink, he would still want to buy it.

"In the past few days, I have contacted a lot of old relationships and visited a lot of good things. It's just that this time, while people are willing to exchange antiques for meat, they also hope to buy more meat with gold bars, silver dollars, and cockroaches."

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback, "It seems that you old guys also realize that the life after the Chinese New Year is likely to be more difficult."

Seeing that he saw it right away, Gong Changqing no longer hid it, and said in a low voice, "We are not in power now, and we have no business to do, but the old relationship from the past is still there.

Write letters, send telegrams to the north, and ask in the south, and you can always collect some information.

Moreover, it is not without precedent that there have been two or even three harvest seasons in a row in previous years.

If you look at the history books, there are more such records.

Seeing that this year is so difficult, if we don't make more preparations, if there is still a severe drought next year, people will really starve to death.

At that time, what's the point of hiding gold bars and antiques in your hands? "

Chu Xiangqian nodded. Chinese people have always had the awareness of taking precautions, and the history of the Celestial Dynasty is a history of starvation.

Any dynasty that can have enough to eat is a prosperous age.

But in the entire history, how many can be called prosperous times?
And even in the prosperous age, there are still many people who are hungry.

Looking through the county chronicles of various places, you can always find words about a certain year's great famine, a certain year's catastrophe, and a certain year's great famine.

Chu Xiangqian didn't talk too much, anyway, there was more and more meat in the warehouse, and if safety was guaranteed, selling some would be considered liquidation.

"How much do you want?"

Gong Changqing was taken aback, and asked back, "How much do you have?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled, thinking that if he traded outside the city, or even in the mountains, there would be no problem in terms of safety.

"500 catties of fish, 50 catties of chestnuts, and 50 catties of red dates."

After he paused for a moment, there were already 200 pheasants and 105 hares, but they couldn't be sold more.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the hunter is, it is impossible to collect so many in a short period of time.

But out of the 4 wild boars in the warehouse, 2 could be taken out.Keep the 400-jin big pig and the 200-jin little pig for later use.

As for the 10 silly roe deer raised in Xinshou Village, Chu Xiangqian thought about it, but still didn't plan to sell it.

“2头野猪屠宰后有380斤，20只山鸡和20只野兔大概160斤。”

After Gong Changqing listened, his breathing became heavy.

Busily took out the abacus and calculated it.

Moreover, this guy's heart has long been toward Chu Qianqian. After all, he sees clearly that he is just a middleman.

Only when Chu Xiangqian is happy can he get more meat.

“鸽子市的鱼3毛一斤，我给你算5毛，总共250块。板栗3毛、红枣7毛，一共50块钱。

Wild boar, pheasant, and hare all cost 2 yuan a catty.That's 1080 yuan. "

Gong Changqing suppressed his excitement and waved the last bead, "The total is 1380 yuan."

Chu Xiangqian nodded and said, "I'm sure I won't bring things into the city. You tell me about those relationships. If you want these things, go to Xuanfu Palace outside the city and wait at 12 o'clock tonight."

Gong Changqing had no objection to this, and Xuanfu Palace called back to Longguan again.

It is 30 miles away from Deshengmen, which is not far away.

He just said worriedly, "Huilongguan is not a small place, and it's dark and we can't see clearly, how can we find you?"

Chu Xiangqian said without any worries, "You don't need to find me, my two dogs will find you."

Although Gong Changqing was still worried, but thinking about it, 1380 yuan seemed a lot, but in fact he brought at most 3 gold bars there tonight.

And the three gold bars cost exactly 660 yuan, and the remaining 720 yuan must be offset by antiques.Otherwise, it will be difficult to do business with Chu Er next time.

Based on the price of 720 points, about 10 treasures are needed.

After Gong Changqing had an idea, he said with a smile, "At noon, I will go to a few old relationships to find good things, and I will take them to my house first.

After you return to the city tomorrow, if it's early, you can go to my house. "

Chu Xiangqian nodded, and then his heart moved again, "If there are calligraphy and paintings by Tang Bohu, Zheng Banqiao, and Huizong Zhao Ji, bring them to me."

Gong Changqing's face suddenly revealed a troubled expression.

When several families raise money, they can casually come up with a few good calligraphy, paintings and antiques that the host's family doesn't like.

However, if Tang Bohu and other three people are limited, several families may not be willing, or they may not have it at all.

Moreover, Huizong Zhao Ji's calligraphy and paintings are good to say, most people don't like them now, but Tang Bohu's and Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and paintings have always been scarce.

"Okay, let me ask, if there is, I will get it for you."

Chu Xiangqian left the entrusted store and rode his bicycle to the outside of the city.

Fortunately, Aiguo and Aimin were asked to bring back a lot of bamboo baskets and baskets from the forest farm last time. After more than an hour, Chu Xiangqian arrived at Huilongguanwai.

At this time, there was only a small village around Huilongguan. Chu Xiangqian didn't go to that village, but released a long-tailed tit to look around.

An hour later, after roughly checking the surrounding terrain, they entered Xinshou Village.Keep tits down and stare from the outside.

After sleeping until I woke up naturally, I put my eyes on the long-tailed tit and found that it was already dark outside.

Chu Xiangqian suddenly lost the thought of going back to the street and seeing off the silly roe deer.

Anyway, the reason was easy to find, so I casually told Chen Huaili that I met a nest of wild rabbits on the mountain, and it took me a while to get them, which delayed my return to the city.

I believe that Chen Huaili will not blame him, but is happy because he got a few more hares.

Sitting in a restaurant in Xinshou Village, I ate a roasted pheasant and roasted chestnuts.

Only then did Chu Xiangqian think about it, and he simply cleaned up the pheasants and hares.

Not only can rabbit skin be made into fur coats, hats and gloves, but chicken feathers can also be made into feather dusters.

Instead of taking advantage of Gong Changqing's old relationships, it's better to keep some money for yourself.

I did it when I thought of it, and it didn't take long for 20 pheasants and 20 hares to be dealt with.

While waiting, Chu Xiangqian also repaired three Patek Philippe watches in the jewelry store.

A 2-point gold coupon was not expensive at all for Chu Xiangqian at this time.

After being repaired in the jewelry store, the three watches seemed to be brand new. Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that he would not be able to use the game to repair these three watches in the future.

In case decades later, it still looks the same as new, it will definitely be said to be an imitation.

I picked an inconspicuous watch, put it on and tried it on, and smiled at the corner of my mouth, my buddy can be regarded as a person who can wear a famous watch.

And when you buy these three watches, two of them can be timed, so you don't have to worry about the time being inaccurate.

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, a reminder from the tit came in my mind. Through the sight of the tit, I soon found that Gong Changqing and his group had arrived early.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care, after all, he only had 415 catties and 80 catties of fish, chestnuts and red dates in his hands.The weight is not enough, after 12 o'clock, the fish and chestnuts spawned in the Novice Village must be collected.

And take the opportunity to let the tits take a closer look behind and around Gong Changqing and his group to see if there is anyone in ambush.

Fortunately, the results are not bad.

Although the 8 people brought guys with them, they knew in their hearts that if black people eat black people, they will be the ones waiting for them to die.

After 12 o'clock, let Da Zhuang and Hong Niu go to brush pheasants and hares, while they go to collect chestnuts and red dates.

Then they caught all the fish in the river east of Xinshou Village.

Only then did I start to use bamboo baskets to pack things.

Appeared in the real world with a big strong red girl.

Climb up a big tree, take out a bow and arrow, and look at the anxious Gong Changqing and others waiting at the foot of the mountain from a distance.

Chu Xiangqian directed Da Zhuang with his thoughts to meet Gong Changqing.

But he was not in a hurry to ask Da Zhuang to bring them over, but put a dozen bamboo baskets on the snow first.

When Gong Changqing and his group saw that a dog really came looking for him and the others, they immediately felt relieved.

I just waited and waited, but no one came over.

Gong Changqing was also anxious in his heart, but he knew he couldn't show it.

He whispered, "The dog has been found, and the person must be nearby. It should be searching for ambushes around us."

After everyone heard this, they felt a little relieved.

After waiting for more than an hour, when the wild meat and fish were basically frozen, Chu Xiangqian whistled.

Gong Changqing and the others saw Da Zhuang who had been sitting in front of them all the time, but when they heard the whistle, they got up and left.

Moreover, after walking a few steps, he stopped and looked back, and immediately understood that he was asking himself to wait for others to follow.

He hurriedly pushed two carts and followed Da Zhuang.

After walking for a few minutes, I saw more than a dozen bamboo baskets placed on the ground.

Everyone held flashlights and looked forward, and they were overjoyed, but they didn't find anyone around, so they couldn't help feeling regretful.

On the contrary, Gong Changqing was secretly happy, he wished that Chu Xiangqian would not show his face.

To avoid these old relationships, put aside yourself and go to deal with Chu Xiangqian.

Gong Changqing looked at a middle-aged man and said, "Hu Ruwen, should the gold bars be handed over to me now?"

Hu Ruwen nodded hurriedly. With so many fish, wild boars, pheasants, and hares, it was obvious at first glance that a group of hunters united to get the job done.

If they don't give money after taking things, just thinking about the revenge of these hunters, people like Hu Ruwen know that the consequences will definitely be serious.

Besides, since the people behind are willing to accept gold bars, or even silver dollars, they can't just do this one transaction.

After the gold bars arrived in Gong Changqing's hands, another whistle sounded not far away, and Da Zhuang yelled twice at Gong Changqing and the others, then turned around and ran into the darkness.

Hu Ruwen was startled, and thought to himself that it was a good thing he hadn't messed around, otherwise the ghost would know if there was an Orion staring at him and the others in the woods ten or eight meters away, and at the same time pointing a gun at him and the others.

He shouted at several people, "There is no need to weigh, there is no need for people to lie to us for a catty or two catties.

Get on the cart and leave right away, there are still 25 miles to go back, so as not to go back late, the sky is already bright. "

When everyone thought about it, they also felt that this was true.

He hurriedly lifted the bamboo basket and put it on the cart, and finally covered it with straw.

Twos and threes pushed carts back to the city.

Fortunately, this group of people didn't intend to bring anything directly into the city for the time being.

Instead, put it in a yard outside the city first, and bring it into the city little by little.

In order not to encounter inspections and be taken over by others.

As long as there are few things, even if they are found out, it can be said that they went to the countryside to find relatives in exchange.

No matter how bad it is, at most they will be fined and confiscated, and the loss is not big.

Chu Xiangqian didn't hurry, but entered Xinshou Village again, so that Da Zhuang and Hong Niu were behind Gong Changqing and the others, while tits were staring at them from the sky.

It wasn't until this group of people entered Tuchenggou, a yard near the ruins of the city wall of Yuan Dadu, that Chu Xiangqian took out his bicycle and rode back.

In less than an hour, Da Zhuang and Hong Niu who had joined were taken back to Xinshou Village and rode directly to the street.

When approaching the street, in an alley, he took out a silly roe deer.

I packed them in bamboo baskets and tied them to the back seat of the car, took out 5 hares and packed them in a basket with a lid, and then slowly entered the street.

Old man Sun saw that Chu Xiangqian had a basket hanging on the frame of the car, and a bamboo basket was tied to the back seat of the car, his eyes lit up.

Busily walked out of the guard room, "Xiao Chu, did you enter the mountain yesterday?"

"That's for sure," Chu Xiangqian laughed, and opened the lid of the bamboo basket first, "A stupid roe deer weighing 63 catties and 5 hares are enough for us to eat well for two days."

Old man Sun nodded happily, but within a few seconds he laughed and scolded, "How can you eat like this. Tens of catties of meat, if you save some, it's enough for 20 or so people on the street to eat for a week."

Chu Xiangqian shrugged indifferently. These days, a few lard residues in cabbage are considered meat dishes.

Save some food, you can eat it for a week.

Chu Xiangqian didn't go into the street at all, "Uncle Sun, why not put these things in your guard post first, I'll go home and catch up on sleep."

Old man Sun immediately mistook Chu Xiangqian for riding a bicycle back to the city overnight.

While busy nodding, he persuaded, "Don't walk at night next time, you are going out for business, so you don't have to worry about someone saying you are absent from work."

Chu Xiangqian happily said, "Okay, then I'll go back to sleep and come back to work tomorrow."

Chu Xiangqian went back to the courtyard, just in time to meet people in the courtyard going to work.

Everyone remembered that yesterday morning, all the meat bought by each family in the vegetable market was 8% fat.

His attitude towards Chu Xiangqian became enthusiastic in an instant.

"Forward, is this overtime work and come back now?"

Several boys even took the initiative to help him lift the bicycle over the steps of the gate.
