Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 669: Women are not allowed to stay in college

Qin Huairu turned around and entered the purchasing station, walked quickly to Lou Xiao'e, and whispered, "The two hunting dogs ahead are calling us."

Lou Xiao'e's face lit up.

After all, Lou Xiao'e was born as a eldest lady. Even if she worked at a second-hand goods collection station, she would not be able to adapt to the physical position.

Fortunately, she graduated from high school and learned accounting from her mother. In addition, after Lou's father and Lou's mother learned that their daughter had found a job, they found some connections and arranged an accounting position for Lou Xiao'e.

So when she went to work, she always stayed in the office of the acquisition station, so she didn't hear the screams of Da Zhuang and Hong Niu.

As for Qin Huairu, he could only be weighed in front of the purchasing station.

She heard the two hounds barking.

Lou Xiao'e was so excited that she took Qin Huairu and went to find the webmaster.

When the sisters heard that they might receive a batch of pig bristles, the eldest sister gave them a half-day holiday without hesitation.

In other words, this woman is still very talented in this area.

Not long after, Qin Huairu took Lou Xiao'e out, got on Lou Xiao'e's bicycle and left.

Everyone has the opportunity to receive subsidies, as long as they complete the purchase of scarce supplies every month.

Not even seen at all.

This time the three of them didn't even eat lunch and slept until around 2pm.

Others in the buying station were envious, but no one was jealous.

When Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e came back, Chu Qianqian was lying on the deck chair under the eaves to bask in the sun.

Chu Xiangqian continued to bask in the sun while taking a book on appraisal to review.

Unfortunately, common things such as boar bristles, horns, horsetails, cashmere, and goose down were rarely seen by ordinary people during this period.

Among the twelve antiques this time, not one was a fake.

As for dried meat, salted fish, deer glue, and fruits, only one-tenth or two-tenths were left.

Chu Xiangqian took out a lot of good things from the warehouse in Novice Village and once again filled the two women with all kinds of food.

However, in terms of ancient cultural literacy and knowledge, Chu Xiangqian still cannot compare with Old Man Gong.

From time to time, he would make them cover their mouths and laugh.

But what Chu Xiangqian didn't know was that Qin Huairu was so motivated to study purely because he felt that learning appraisals would make money.

Although the Qinhuai man behind was also excited, he still pushed his bicycle in and locked the door immediately.

Soon, the sound of babbling and singing came from the house.

It can be seen that these two women are now beginning to learn how to reward themselves.

It can be said that Chu Xiangqian's eye for antiques is already better than that of Gong Changqing, a master.

Fortunately, there is a lot of noise around during the day, and most people go to work again.

Go into the utility room first and see more than a dozen pieces of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings placed inside.

First, look at each piece with your eyes, and mentally determine the authenticity, dynasty and value of the antique, and then start to determine whether your appraisal is correct.

Collect all twelve pieces of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings directly into the Novice Village warehouse.

Chu Xiangqian naturally had no objection to this, and wished the two women could eat better and more.

Chu Xiangqian had already climbed over the wall and entered the small courtyard on Beach Street.

Moreover, they were specially considered to be on a business trip, so when their wages were paid, each of them would receive a subsidy of 2 yuan.

It can be seen that Qin Huairu is really dedicated to learning appraisal knowledge.

Seeing her man lying leisurely and rocking on the recliner, Lou Xiao'e felt so excited that she ran over quickly, sat directly on his lap, and hugged Chu forward.

When they heard the colorful joke, the two of them twisted in Chu Qianqian's arms with charming expressions on their faces.

Just come back with the bristles for weighing and storage before leaving get off work.

The three of them got dressed and left the house, while the two women went to cook.

And the effect is not bad.

For the sake of money, she would study and study so hard and seriously.
-
While the water was boiling, Chu Qianqian opened cupboards and lockers.

After reading more than a dozen items, it only took ten minutes.

Don't worry about being overheard.
-
After the battle, Chu Qianqian hugged one and two women and whispered.

Chu Qianqian, who turned to the kitchen to boil water and planned to make tea for himself, praised Qin Huairu in his heart as he walked.

Only when your body is slightly fatter will your fighting power become stronger.

Then, holding a cup of brewed tea, he entered Xinshou Village and drank tea while taking a bath.

How can you bear this?
He dragged two women into a game again.

And the lowest value one costs forty or fifty yuan.

I saw that the rice and noodles I left behind last time were half missing. Coarse grains were reduced by two-thirds.

After finishing the meal, Qin Huairu was still thinking about the antiques she had received some time ago.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian told him that the things had been taken away before she went to the utility room.

The two women felt relieved, and Chu Qianqian pulled Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e to explain antiques.

By the way, he gave Qin Huairu the estimated 760 yuan for the twelve pieces of porcelain, calligraphy and painting.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu only took 280, and the rest was given to Lou Xiao'e.

After listening to Qin Huairu's explanation, Chu Xiangqian learned that 12 of the 7 antiques were bought by Lou Xiao'e from the widow of a friend of his father.

After the death of her husband, the woman raised two sons and one daughter, but no one in the family knew how to appraise antiques.

All I know is that the old gadgets at home were collected bit by bit by my late husband in his early years.

This kind of half-heartedness is best fooled. Although the two sons and daughters are not fools, they do not understand the value of antiques.

They even used the prices their father paid for the antiques back then to make comparisons.

When I bought it for 5 oceans, I offered 15 celestial coins.

I bought it for 100 yuan, and the price was 300 yuan.

Although Lou Xiao'e doesn't know how to bargain and doesn't understand the market for antiques, Qin Huairu has been following Chu Qianqian for so long.

I have long known that when Chu Xiangqian purchased antiques, he always asked the market to quote 100 yuan, but he only offered 20 yuan to purchase them.

She lied to the three siblings, and what she said was indeed true.

Antiques are the least valuable now. After all, most people don't have enough to eat, and no one is willing to spend money, let alone food, to buy these old things.

Just using 50 kilograms of whole grains, 20 kilograms of white flour and 5 kilograms of dried meat, I received 7 pretty good treasures.

If it weren't for the rice noodles and whole grains on Beach Street, a lot of rice, noodles and whole grains would have to be left in case Lou Xiao'e didn't have to eat.

The two women will go back to exchange for a batch of antiques.

As for why not use dried meat or fish.

Qin Huairu was very discerning and knew that if he took out too much dried meat and fish, he might be noticed by others. Only then did Chu Xiangqian understand why the two women ate so much food.

As for dried meat, salted fish, and fruits, Lou Xiao'e must be greedy, and Qin Huairu followed her lead in eating meat and fruits.

Anyway, both of his sisters were serving him together. Chu Qianqian, it’s possible that he would still feel distressed if he had something to eat.

Chu Xiangqian was indeed as Qin Huairu expected. In the past, he didn't care whether Lou Xiao'e spent money lavishly or not.

It doesn’t matter whether she is greedy or not and likes good food.

Fortunately, although Lou Xiao'e grew up pampered, she didn't spend much money.

This may have something to do with her parents teaching and reminding her to keep a low profile.

Moreover, Lou Xiao'e was already over ten years old when the public-private partnership was formed, so she should have seen the power of Iron Fist.

As for Qin Huairu, she was willing to sacrifice her dignity and play a 2-on-1 game with Lou Xiao'e. Although Chu Xiangqian still had restraint on her, he would continue to beat her from time to time.

But in terms of treatment, it is inevitable that he will be on the same level as Lou Xiaoe.

Otherwise, the bias would be too obvious.

After Chu Xiangqian understood it, he secretly thought that it was no wonder that the quality of the antiques this time was so good.

He sighed at the same time.

There are many families whose ancestors were rich. Although there are many good things hidden in their homes, it is a pity that their descendants are not filial and virtuous.

He couldn't even keep his treasure at home.

However, these times are also special. If you don’t have enough to eat, you would be really stupid if you still stick to the old stuff.

As long as the family is safe and sound, just let the family be wasted.

Anyway, as long as the things left by the ancestors do not go abroad and flow into the hands of other collectors, it will be a good thing from the overall perspective.

Otherwise, antiques such as calligraphy and paintings will be destroyed if not taken care of properly.
-
After Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e accepted the money, they were originally worried that Chu Xiangqian would be reluctant to part with the food and dried meat.

But I heard him say, just change it if you have the chance.

Moreover, when he took away the antiques, he would still appraise them and give them money, but the money would be considered their pocket money.

In other words, how much pocket money they have depends entirely on their own ability.

The two women were overjoyed and even more motivated to collect antiques.

Even Lou Xiao'e wanted to go home and ask her parents if they wanted to get some dried meat, salted fish, rice noodles, deer gum, red wine and other things to satisfy their craving.

At that time, my parents will not have to worry about food and drink, my man will get antiques, and I will be pampered.

Simply kill three birds with one stone.

If Chu Xiangqian knew about it, he would definitely hold her and reward her in the room.
-
After dinner in the evening, Chu Xiangqian saw that Qin Huairu had no intention of going back at all, and immediately guessed that this woman had completely taken over the old godly wife of the Jia Zhang family.

He hugged Qin Huairu and asked.

Only then did I realize that this woman was actually collecting the copper coins received by Jia Zhang.

This is equivalent to changing from daughter-in-law to mother-in-law's financial sponsor. With Jia Zhang's money-grubbing character, let alone reporting Qin Huairu.

It's okay to use her as the God of Wealth.

Moreover, Qin Huairu also made a profit from the items collected by Jia Zhang. Not only did Chu Xiangqian not mind, he happily hugged her and kissed her for a long time.

Chu Xiangqian felt a little excited when he thought that Mrs. Jia Zhang was willing to let her daughter-in-law go out to have secret meetings with men.

When he was happy, he spoke and took them both to the movies.

Lou Xiao'e went to change clothes excitedly without thinking, but Qin Huairu hesitated.

But Chu Xiangqian just asked her to enter the cinema with Lou Xiao'e. He followed them, pretending not to know them, and went into the cinema to sit together.

When the lights go out, you won't be able to recognize someone unless you know someone sitting next to you.

Moreover, going to the movies is a rare thing these days, and almost no one in the courtyard is willing to spend the money.

After the movie started, Chu Xiangqian only watched it for more than ten minutes, and soon he became so uninterested that he just wanted to doze off.

But Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e watched with gusto.

After the movie ended, Chu Xiangqian learned from the whispers between Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e that this was actually the first time Qin Huairu watched a movie in a cinema after marrying into Jia's family.

Also because they watched a movie together, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e chatted excitedly on the way home after the movie.

Returning to the small courtyard on Beach Street, it is inevitable to sing opera and practice basic skills such as singing, chanting, and fighting.
-
Unknowingly, it was the end of the year. Although Tianchu Xiangqiang did not leave the capital these days, he still let the tit catch the stingray. He spent three days flying with it to Tianzhu and began to stare at Nehru.

By the way, go to Stromgarde every other day during the day, or watch the patrol camp training.

Or watch the dwarves repair and expand Stromgarde.

At noon, he had dinner with Sif and Luna, and during lunch break, he held Luna in his arms while playing games.

It had only been a few days, but Xifu looked at Chu Qianqian with more and more resentment.

It seemed that as long as Chu hooked his hand forward or took the initiative to run to Sif's room, the elf girl would throw herself into his arms.

However, during Chu Xiangqian's time, he hung around Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng Feifei, Jin Xiu, Jin Zhi, Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e and Luna every day.

Sometimes they even play games with Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e, or Jin Zhi and Jin Xiu during the day, and then go home and mess around with Xue Jinglan at night.

Therefore, Sif's attraction to him was not as strong as it was during the war.
-
Two days before the New Year, 800 dwarf and elven cavalry returned to Stromgarde successfully.

Chu went forward and held a banquet to celebrate Iris, Oleg and the cavalry.

For the first time, two pieces of land south of Stromgarde were given as rewards to the dwarves and elves.

When these two pieces of land are built into farms, at least 4 acres of land can be developed.

Divided into 3 goats, 2 wild boar cavalry, and 5 elven cavalry, the harvest per capita is only 4 acres of land.

But this is the first time that Stromgarde has been granted land due to merit. The dwarves and elves naturally know that in the future, as long as they have merit, they will be allocated more land.

Motivation and cohesion suddenly rose.

However, 40% of the harvest from these two farms goes to Chu Xiangqian.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian only provided 600 gold coins as development funds, but how to develop it and who to hire as workers was a matter between the dwarves and elves.

It means that Chu Xiangqian only paid money and took out two pieces of land, and he can enjoy 4% of the income from the two farms in the future.

And he doesn’t have to worry about building a farm.

But the dwarves and elves were not dissatisfied at all.

Once they have a large number of people, they can build a farm by randomly dividing dozens of people.

Or spend some money to hire dwarves and elves to be farm stewards, and patrol there on weekdays to clean up wild beasts, kobolds, and the like.

Naturally, it can attract many northern humans to come and seek refuge.
-
Then Chu Xiangqian divided a piece of land that could develop 1000 acres of farmland and rewarded it to his 50 guards.

In fact, 20 acres per capita is not much, but this can be regarded as recognition of the existence value of the Guards.

And because the Guards are all elves, two-thirds of the 1 acres of land are used to grow fruit trees, and the rest is used to grow barley.

From now on, the Guards will not need to purchase food outside at all. They can also provide fresh water ghosts, vegetables and barley to the city lord's palace.

This method of coaxing not only did not upset the guards, but also allowed them to spontaneously move closer to Chu.
-
There is no need to worry about the aftermath of Stromberg Castle for the time being, Chu Xiangqian's thoughts are basically on the capital.
