Courtyard: From out-of-print stamps to big collectors

Walking in the direction of Fang Hui’s house, He Yuhao was in a good mood.
Suddenly, He Yuhao was stunned. He saw a man, an old man, who was icy and snowy, setting up a stall on the side of the road.
It’s not uncommon to set up a stall, but it’s really rare to set up a stall on the side of the road.
Now, we are strictly guarding against the capitalists. Only public houses are allowed to set up stalls, and private ones are not allowed. This is called speculation!
But when he went up to take a look, He Yuhao was instantly happy.
This is the first and third masters!
Although he is not the third master, this old man sells characters!
But he didn’t write the words for sale, he just wrote “help with writing letters, couplets, etc., just give some polish and material loss”.
In fact, there are many businesses in this industry, and they are found all over the country. These days, let alone WeChat mobile phones, there is no phone call, and communication is done by telegrams, and it is very expensive. Letters are naturally the best. Many friends and relatives are from all over the world, so it becomes normal to write letters.
However, He Yuhao’s eyes widened because of the writing in that old man’s book!
“Young man, do you want to write a letter or something? Or you can write couplets or blessing characters. You can just polish your pen a little bit. Anything is fine!”
The old man’s life is indeed not easy. Seeing the various fruits and vegetables that He Yuhao was carrying, he subconsciously swallowed.
He Yuhao, however, was staring at that piece of ink.
“Old man, can I see your ink?”
This is a round cake ink, it is round, such ink is rare!
First of all, you need to understand that pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and pens generally refer to brushes, and there is no need to say more about paper.
Many people can’t tell the difference between ink and inkstone, especially the ink in the shape of a round cake, which makes people think that this is an inkstone.
The so-called inkstone is the thing that holds the ink, also called the inkstone table, add a little water, then take an ink stick and grind it on it, so that the water can be turned into ink.
Ink is an ink stick, you can understand it as chalk.
Therefore, the general ink sticks are cylindrical, or cuboid, and rarely have the shape of a round cake.
“Okay, look, but be careful, this is the old man I eat!”
I’m afraid this is an old pedant. To tell the truth, such a person will suffer next year.
He Yuhao picked it up. At first, he was just curious. The ink sticks of the round cake were rare, but now, He Yuhao’s eyes lit up.
“Master, let me ask, with Mo Ding, do you have a box?”
“A box? Yes!”
The old man took out a box from the side and handed it to He Yuhao. He Yuhao took it, looked at it carefully, and then widened his eyes in surprise.
Sure enough, this is a box of red sandalwood, and this ink ingot has not been used much.
“Master, this ink ingot has just been unsealed!”
“Yeah, it’s just New Year’s Eve, and I really don’t have any money left at home, so I opened a new ink ingot, a new look for the new year, I came out to write and write, hoping to earn some food!”
Looking at He Yuhao’s bag, the old man envied him for a while.
Fifty kilograms of rice in that generation alone is enough for the elderly to eat for several months.
“Old man, let me tell you the truth, I have a crush on you, the ink ingot. Do you think I can give up my love?”
“You want to buy?”
“Oh, don’t say buy, let’s change!”
The old man’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked He Yuhao, “What are you taking?Change something? ”
He Yuhao pondered for a while, the life of the old man must be unsatisfactory. He came out to set up a stall during the Chinese New Year, and then said, “500 catties of rice, what do you think!”
“what?”
The old man looked at He Yuhao in disbelief, five hundred catties of rice?
Rice in this era is about 16 cents a pound. He Yuhao’s asking price is a full 80 yuan!
Unlike antique dealers, antique dealers want to collect things from others, which is all sorts of cares, but when collectors collect things, they can help as much as they can, and they won’t be conscientious and cheat.
The antique industry, in the final analysis, is a business of abduction and deception.
“Really?”
“Seriously, I’ll tell you the truth, this thing, an old object from the Ming Dynasty, is in your hands, and it’s just writing. I like this thing, I’ll hide it and leave it to future generations, see if you want it Willing to change!”
“Change, change, change!”
Of course, it’s 500 pounds of rice!
“But, can you take out five hundred catties of rice?”
“Don’t worry, you, go find a car first, you can’t bring 500 kilograms of rice!”
“I have a car, I came with the folks, and he has an ox cart!”
“Okay, I will return the things to you first, but keep them well, don’t break them, you, go and call for the car first, I will wait for you in this alley, half an hour, just two sticks of incense, let’s meet here, all right ?”
“Row!”
The two made an agreement, He Yuhao quickly came to the corner, put everything in the space, and then found a shop that sold sacks and sold the sacks directly!
A 50-jin bag, a full 10 bags, He Yuhao packed it and waited for the old man to come!
Half an hour later, the old man came with another person.
“You’re here, take a look, 500 catties of rice are ready for you, let’s check it!”
The two old men stared at He Yuhao, ten bags of rice, just put them on the ground?
“Oh baby, let’s put the rice on the ground!”
The old man was distressed and came over to ask for help. He Yuhao smiled and helped lift the bullock cart. After checking it, the old scholar excitedly handed the ink cartridge to He Yuhao. He Yuhao opened the lid, and there were ink ingots inside, which were exactly the same and had not been touched.
“Okay, then let’s clear things up!”
“well!”
“Do you have anything similar in your house? If it’s good, I’ll take it. Rice, white flour, sweet potatoes, and potatoes can all be exchanged!”
“Yes, there is, is there anything else?”
“what?”
“Book!”
“Yes, then why not, you, go back today, so much rice, transport it back first, good morning, tomorrow, you secretly bring things, around noon, or here! ”
There are few people coming and going here, and it is relatively safe. The old man didn’t dare to go to the main road to set up a stall in a big way, and he was arrested in minutes.
“it is good!”
The old man was excited. He didn’t expect that a piece of broken ink could sell so much rice.
The two left happily, He Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, then took out his things and walked towards Fang Hui’s house. The rice was left for Fang Hui’s family to eat. For other things, He Yuhao brought Fang Hui’s parents with him. , went back home and gave it to the big brother!
“My family is here!”
To tell the truth, the eldest brother is old, the thirty-something looks the same as the fifty-something, fortunately He Yuhao said it in advance, otherwise Fang Hui’s parents would have called the father-in-law directly!
He Yuhao went to bring Fang Hui and the old lady over, plus Mr. Ran’s family, the two of them chatted happily immediately, and it turned out that everyone was still related.
But ah, this relationship is far away, but after all, there is a connection, and this time I became familiar with each other.
“sister!”
There was another person outside the door, and as soon as the door was opened, it was elder sister He Yuyu, with her brother-in-law standing beside her.
“Yo, so many people!”
Brother-in-law came in, and behind him were the brothers-in-law’s parents!
“Hey, what’s the situation today? Sister, this is my girlfriend, Fang Hui, this is Fang Hui’s parents, Uncle Fang, Aunt He!”
“Your girlfriend!”
He Yuyu’s eyes widened, then quickly abandoned her fiancé, holding Fang Hui’s hand and refused to let go.
“Oh, my brother and sister are really beautiful!”
After a while of boasting, Fang Hui was too shy, so He Yuhao hurriedly greeted her brother-in-law and relatives to sit down.
“I can sit down in this room, but there are not enough tables. I’ll take the table!”
“I’ll help you move!”
“Okay, it’s better brother-in-law. It’s not like my sister, sister, if you dare to bully Fang Hui, I will bully your policeman!”
“That’s not possible!”
He Yuyu is still smart. His parents-in-law are here. If he is married, he should be bullied, but if he is not married, he must protect him!
“Hey!”
He Yuhao smiled, and his brother-in-law was also happy.
“Go to Uncle’s side first, and call the two old men over for dinner!”
“Row!”
Came to the uncle’s house, where he was preparing to cook, He Yuhao hurried up!
“Hey, my uncle, what are you going to do to cook? My family is going to be in trouble!”
“What’s wrong?”
The eldest man was shocked, and the eldest mother rushed out and looked at He Yuhao worriedly: “What’s the matter? There is a conflict?”
“Who said no, my brother is in the kitchen, my sister is teasing my girlfriend, all three relatives have touched one, you two can quickly help me say hello!”
“Hi!”
It was only then that the two of them reacted. The aunt patted He Yuhao angrily, but when He Yuhao saw it, the cookWhy is there still a small one standing in the room?
“Huaihua, why, when I see you Uncle Yuhao, are you scared?”
“Uncle Yuhao…”
Huai Hua was really scared. When she was spanking her butt last night, Huai Hua was lying by the window watching!
“Okay, bring this little one. You two will help me greet you. I will also call the second and third masters over. By the way, where’s the round table in your house?”
“Here, I’ll move it for you!”
“Don’t, don’t, don’t, you have to go to the market for me. I don’t have any old people in my family, so I rely on your three uncles. We come to the table, and I can catch my brother-in-law as a coolie!”
“Good lord, good eldest mom!”
“Oh, good!”
Both of them are very happy. The more people there are, the more lively it is!
“Then we took the locust flower there?”
“I’m going to bring the dishes, you have a lot of family…”
“No, I really don’t need it, but take the cut ones with you, my dear, your hands are so fast, it’s only after three o’clock!”
He Yuhao glanced at his watch and started cooking dinner after three o’clock.  …
“Isn’t this afraid that the child is hungry!”
The aunt said with a smile, the two of them went to He Yuhao’s side with dishes and locust flowers. He Yuhao’s house was the largest one, because it used to be the master bedroom where He Daqing lived, and it was the only one with a living room. The room is a one-bedroom, and the living room is next to the bed.
As for He Yuhao, he has one room and one living room, which is very big.
The largest house in the courtyard has four rooms, one for He Yuhao’s family, one for Xu Damao’s family, one for the second uncle, and one for the third.
Gone!
He Yuhao and his brother-in-law moved over with the table.
“Good strength!”
Seeing He Yuhao’s effortless effort, he picked up the table, and the brother-in-law who held the big round table praised it. He Yuhao smiled: “That’s right, don’t forget, I’m a butcher, you are not as good as me in terms of strength!”
“Then I’ll have to try it later!”
“Okay!”
To brother-in-law, He Yuhao’s attitude is naturally good. This is a policeman. In these days, this is a boss.
Soon, he moved the table over, and He Yuhao did the math.
There are six people in the family alone.
Fang Hui’s parents, sister-in-law’s parents, brother-in-law’s parents!
six people!
Three uncles, nine people!
The three brothers and sisters of He Yuhao’s family, plus the old lady, four people, that’s thirteen!
Teacher Ran, brother-in-law, Fang Hui, aunt, Huaihua, five people, that’s eighteen people!
“Exactly, two tables!”
A round table, with nine people seated, would be easy.
On He Yuhao’s side, he used a chisel to cook the vegetables, and the fire was fierce, and the fire was so violent that it attracted a crowd of onlookers.
When He Yuhao, who was washing vegetables outside, entered the house, he found that everyone was in the kitchen.
“Hey, everyone, there’s no need, this dish will definitely end up in your mouth. Don’t worry about not having enough food, my chef can’t eat it!”
“Go! Go! Go!”
The uncle laughed and waved his hand, telling He Yuhao to get out.
However, his eldest brother’s cooking skills are really good, but being watched by so many people makes him panic.
“Several, I’m so embarrassed when you look at 2.7 like this!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, you do what you do, we’ll learn!”
A few gentlemen sat aside to drink tea and chat. After watching the stir-fried vegetables, they knew that if they wanted to eat something good, they would come here.
How about a few aunts, they just want to take out their notebooks and study hard, thanks to Hejia’s craftsmanship, it is not forbidden to spread it out, otherwise it would be considered a taboo.
“Brother, this scallop is almost done!”
“real?”
He Yuzhu hurried over, fished out the dried scallops from the water, threw one into his mouth, and nodded, “In half an hour, I’ll make soup!”
“Okay, it’s a mouthful now!”
He Yuhao is also happy. It is not easy to eat seafood in Sijiucheng, but He Yuhao loves seafood very much.
“After 10 years, I’ll go to the beach, and then dig a deep pit, specialize in seawater, and raise seafood!”
Seafood is so delicious!
A few aunts didn’t know why, so they quickly asked, He Yuhao told them about the essence of Tan Jiacai, and a few aunts became even more curious.
“Here, let’s watch, are you alright?”
“It’s okay, Tan Jiacai doesn’t have a secret recipe, it’s just the mastery of the heat and ingredients. It’s too late for you to learn from me and be happy!”
The atmosphere was a harmonious one, and He Yuhao was taking a break from his busy schedule. He secretly took out the ink cartridge and took a look. It was a liking!
“How about, go and bring the master?”
He Yuhao thought for a while, then found his elder brother and asked.
“Did you go for New Year’s greetings yesterday?”
“It’s New Year’s greetings, and I brought a lot of things with me!”
“Shout, how can an apprentice not be filial to the master, there’s more than one pair of chopsticks!”
“Okay, then I’ll go and invite that old man over!”.
