Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 477 Tiger Talisman
Speaking of gold bars, Qin Huairu couldn't help but think of the small yellow croaker that Chu Xiangqian gave to him before his business trip half a year ago.

Just a gold bar the size of my little finger gave me a great sense of security.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel that Chu Xiangqian was right. No antique calligraphy or painting was as safe as gold bars.

Then I silently calculated in my mind that my current monthly salary of 23 yuan is basically enough to spend all of it on household expenses and supplies.

Relying on the bottles and cans obtained from the junkyard, I can get about 50 yuan from my husband every month.

At the end of a year, I will guarantee one small yellow croaker, and if I am lucky, I will get two small yellow croakers.

If you learn more about your appraisal skills and get better, you might be able to make 2000 yuan or [-] a year.

For small yellow croakers, there are five or eight.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's willingness to learn became even stronger.

He picked up a sesame seed cake on the table, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and walked slowly to the inner room. When he came out, he had a small book in his hand.

Chu Xiangqian curiously took it from her hand and opened it, only to see that inside were the notes written by Qin Huairu.

Although the handwriting is not even as good as that of a future primary school student, it does show from this point that this woman really wants to learn antique appraisal.

Thinking about this woman calling him husband countless times during the friendly match in the afternoon, Chu Xiangqian had no intention of hiding his clumsiness in teaching her appraisal knowledge.

However, identifying this thing requires the most talent.

How much skills can be learned depends not only on hard work.

But when used to identify the scraps received at junkyards, even if you are half-experienced, you can still find many real antiques.

After all, very few people these days would fake ordinary antiques.

When Qin Huairu continues to focus on antiques for ten or twenty years, even a person with poor talent can develop a good eye.

If someone helps her solve her doubts, she will naturally become an expert.

By the 80s, Qin Huairu would have been living in a household worth ten thousand yuan if she didn't have a job. Just doing antique business would make her one of the first wealthy people in the capital.

After Chu Xiangqian read the notes, he started to explain seriously with his arms around the woman.

As we talked, it was past 9pm before we knew it.

When Qin Huairu felt that everything she didn't understand in the past two months suddenly became clear, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up.

"I have to go back to the courtyard, otherwise I don't know if my mother-in-law will make trouble with me."

Chu Xiangqian didn't stop him. He had a fight with Lou Xiao'e in the morning and Qin Huairu in the afternoon. Even though he was more impulsive because of his good physical fitness, his anger was extinguished after both times.

However, thinking of Jia Zhang, Chu Xiangqian's heart moved, "Take two bowls from the late Qing Dynasty back. If Jia Zhang asks, just say that these two bowls cost 5 cents."

But if you find someone you like, it's not difficult to sell it for two or three yuan.

This can be regarded as a cover in advance.

Then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you can find a time to take your mother-in-law to a commission store. They charge the normal price there, and you can really sell it for about 2 yuan. "

Qin Huairu understood it as soon as she heard it and smiled, "Then my status in my family will definitely be higher in the future."

Chu Qianqian shook his head, "Your mother-in-law is very greedy for money, and now that her son has died, she values ​​money even more.

Just wait and see, from now on she will focus most of her attention on walking around the streets to buy old gadgets.

If you don't protect everything, you will be cheated one day, but this is both a bad thing and a good thing for you. "

Qin Huairu frowned and thought for a while, then nodded quickly.

I have learned from Qiangqian, but my mother-in-law relies entirely on luck, and coupled with her greed for money, the possibility of being cheated is basically 100%.

Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity to stare at Qin Huairu and said, "Remember, don't touch any antiques that you are unsure of, no matter how much money they seem to make.

Otherwise, even experienced players will be fooled or tricked by others.

In the antique industry, the most taboo thing is greed. Once you are greedy, you will find that the more things look, the more real they look.And then ignored many flaws that should have been noticed. "

Qin Huairu nodded hurriedly, "I understand. You told me last time that instead of thinking about getting rich overnight, it's better to keep a steady stream of money. And I can guard this treasure of the used goods collection station for a lifetime."

"clever."

When Qin Huairu heard this, she couldn't help but become more and more happy. This was the second time Chu Qianqian praised himself for being smart today.

Thinking about it made her feel very accomplished.

And Qin Huairu is not stupid. She knows very well that she is still young and Chu Qianqian is indeed fascinated by her.

But ten or 20 years from now, it will be hard to say.

If you want to stay by his side, you naturally have to have something in common with him and even be able to help him.

Otherwise, Qin Huairu felt as if the sky was falling when she thought that Chu Xiangqian was not interested in her.

Thinking about it this way, she didn't want to go back so soon. Anyway, she had a reasonable enough excuse.

Holding Chu Qianqian's neck, he wanted to send a request for the invitational competition.

Chu Qianqian was very rational and slapped Qin Huairu on the round spot behind him, "Go back early and I will teach you a lesson tomorrow."

Qin Huairu also knew that once Chu Qianqian made a move, it would take an hour, and he would definitely be taught a lesson and would need to take a while to recover.

"Then I'll come over and wait for you tomorrow when I'm free."

Chu Qianqian thought for a while and nodded. Before sending Qin Huairu out of the courtyard, he suddenly grabbed her and said, "By the way, I'm getting married in a few days. Don't show off your feet in the courtyard."

Qin Huairu was stunned, and her good mood disappeared instantly.

Although he had known for a long time that he would not be able to marry Chu Xiangqian, and it was impossible for Chu Xiangqian not to stay married, when this day came, his mood was so complicated.

Chu Xiangqian took control of this woman with just one sentence.

"Well, it's not like you don't know me. After marrying my wife, without you helping me consume my energy, I will have to suffocate myself to death in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Huairu's mood immediately improved.

Recalling the experience of being almost torn apart by Chu Xiangqian in the afternoon, I secretly wondered how the little girl could withstand such a bull like him.

"Then your wife, my future brother-in-law, why don't you thank me properly?"

"Okay, okay, you are the most important, okay?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Chu Qianqian, but most of the panic in her heart was gone. She pulled Chu Qianqian and asked, "By the way, how is my younger brother and sister's temperament? Are they easy to talk to?"

Chu Qianqian slapped Qin Huairu on the buttocks, "What do you care about? As long as I am still in the capital, I will always find you and teach you a lesson several times a week.

And you are my first woman, so you can enjoy it secretly. "

Qin Huairu suddenly became elated. When she thought that she had defeated Chu Xiangqian for the first time, she immediately felt as if she had taken a huge advantage.

On the way back to the courtyard, I walked briskly.Chu Xiangqian waited until 11 o'clock in the evening before riding his bicycle back to the courtyard.

When I got home and saw Ehime, I immediately laughed at the flower gown she was wearing.

Ehime rolled her eyes at her elder brother, and she could tell at a glance what he was laughing at, "Brother, you are not a scumbag yourself."

Chu Qianqian looked at the tunic suit he was wearing. It was wrinkled in many places after wearing it for two days, and it did look a bit rustic.

He quickly changed the subject, "Is anyone looking for me today?"

Ehime couldn't help but smile proudly when she saw the embarrassed expression on his face.

When Chu glared at her forward, he put away his smile and said, "The logistics director of the steel rolling mill came to the door in the morning and didn't leave until noon.

In the afternoon, everyone from the street, neighborhood committee, and police station came.

He waited until it was almost 6 o'clock and then told me to come early tomorrow morning. "

After saying that, Ehime pulled Chu Xiangqian into the east wing of the front yard, pointed to the pile of food on the table, and said, "They are all gifts from others. I don't want them, and they just throw them into the house and leave." Can’t stop it.”

Chu glanced forward and saw some pastries, cloth, tobacco and alcohol.

Then I saw Ehime taking out a few bills from the drawer of the table in the main room.

Chu Xiangqian took it and took a look. Two watch tickets and two bicycle tickets happened to be given to one family.

He handed it to Ehime casually, "You can give it to your second uncle and your father in a few days."

Ehime nodded hurriedly. As for money, this girl didn't have a lot of money. After two months of business in bamboo products, plus managing the accounts of the film company, theater chain, wood factory, and bar street, she was also paid.

I still have two to three thousand yuan on hand.

However, the little girl knows that her eldest brother is worth tens of millions, so she is not willing to spend a thousand dollars to buy two bicycles and two watches for her second uncle and biological father.

Pulling Chu forward, he stretched out his hand, "Brother, I only have a few dozen dollars in my hand, and the rest are Hong Kong dollars."

Chu Qianqian was stunned, rolled his eyes at his cousin, went into the house as a cover, and took a stack of 1 yuan from his storage compartment to her.

Ehime happily took it and then asked curiously, "Brother, I clean your house, where did you hide the money?"

Chu Qianqian laughed and said, "You don't care where I hide."

Ehime rolled her eyes at Chu Qian, then rolled her eyes, "Brother, you are marrying your sister-in-law, and you haven't prepared anything yet.

How about you give me money and I will help you buy everything with my love for the country and my love for the people?"

Chu Xiangqian didn't know this girl's little idea, which was just to put the remaining money in her pocket after buying the things.

"Your sister-in-law will prepare everything. Your brother and I will go to your sister-in-law and bring everything back in two days."

Ehime suddenly showed a surprised expression, muttered a few words, and then went out to sleep in the back room.

When Chu Xiangqian saw this, he was about to close the door and enter Xinshou Village to take a bath and sleep, but saw the door of the west wing opposite suddenly opened, revealing the figure of Yan Laoji.

No need to guess, he must have used the copper coins and silver dollars he received to exchange for food stamps or food with himself.

Chu Xiangqian wasn't bothered by this either. Anyway, he only paid 2% to 3% of the price for the antiques collected by Yan Laoji in the past two months.

Not only did he make money, but he also helped Mr. Yan.

Otherwise, the life of Mr. Yan and his family would have been difficult in the past two months.

To be honest, Yan Laozhao's family can be regarded as the most difficult group of people in this courtyard.

The whole family relies on his salary to support his wife and four children. It is very normal for him to pay a lot of money.

As soon as Mr. Yan entered the door, his eyes were all on the things on the table. Chu Qianqian hurriedly collected everything into the back room.

Then he poured two glasses of water and said, "It's getting late. If you have any good things, take them out, lest the steel rolling mill, police station, street and neighborhood committee come to your door tomorrow, and you won't be able to exchange for food."

Yan Fugui originally thought about exchanging some not-so-best things for some food, but after hearing this, he immediately gave up his previous thoughts.

He said to Chu Xiangqian, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and bring some good stuff over."

Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at Mr. Yan, but the things in this old guy's hands were indeed pretty good.

A set of zodiac snuff bottles looks like they came from the palace.

After getting started, these 12 snuff bottles alone were given 240 gold coupons.

Chu Qianqian couldn't help but look at Yan Laojie's rather bulging pockets, "How about I give you 12 yuan for these 48 snuff bottles?"

Yan Fugui shook his head without thinking, "Go forward, I won't lie to you, I only spent 35 yuan on this set of snuff bottles.

But I don’t want money. How about you give me 100 kilograms of stick noodles? "

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian realized that the Yan family was probably very short of food.

But looking at Yan Fugui's complexion, he didn't look like he was hungry and dizzy.

Then Chu Xiangqian realized that Yan Fugui was planning for a rainy day, otherwise how could a person like him be willing to exchange all his money for food.

It will definitely be the same as before, first ask for money to get back the cost of buying antiques, and then ask for food as the difference.

He tentatively asked Yan Fugui, "Third uncle, have you heard anything?"

Yan Fugui hesitated for a few seconds, fearing that Chu Qianqian would not change the food after hearing the news.

After Chu Xiangqian thought for a moment, he guessed his concerns and said with a smile, "I have a fixed food allowance of 44 kilograms a month. I am on a business trip, and the subsidy alone is dozens of kilograms of food. In addition, I have been hunting in the mountains in the north during this time. .

Although I don’t have much grain in my hand, I can still get a few hundred kilograms out of it. "

Yan Fugui felt relieved. He looked outside the house to make sure there was no one, and then whispered, "I heard a student in my class say that seven or eight people from his hometown came to Beijing to seek help from them."

When Chu Xiangqian heard that it was the Heluo disaster, he immediately understood why Yan Fugui did what he did.

The traditional grain-producing provinces are all in short supply. Anyone with some brains and knowledge will, like Yan Fugui, try their best to save grain.

Looking at Yan Fugui's expectant eyes, Chu nodded forward, "Okay, just 100 kilograms of stick noodles. If you still have any good stuff, take it out now.

After tonight, if you want to change it, I don't know if there will be any extra food. "

Yan Fugui was overjoyed and quickly took out a wooden box from his pocket. When he opened it, he found a pair of tiger charms.

Chu Xiangqian collected so many things, and this was the first time he saw this thing.

And looking at the bronze green and style on it, you can tell at a glance that it should be from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

After carefully looking at it for more than ten minutes, Chu Xiangqian finally determined that it was most likely the tiger talisman of the Qin Dynasty.

The most direct proof is that in the Qin Dynasty, the inscriptions on the tiger talisman were carved on the left and right sides of the tiger talisman. In the Han Dynasty, the inscriptions were carved on the seam.

The only pity is that the pair of tiger charms are not very well preserved.
