Liulichang is located southwest of the Forbidden City and west of the front gate. It takes only twenty minutes to walk out of the Meridian Gate.

After Han Mingxiu left the Forbidden City, he inquired all the way and walked to Liulichang. Liulichang is a cultural street that originated in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that most of the students from all over the country who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination gathered here. Therefore, there are many shops selling books, pens, ink, paper and ink, which formed a relatively strong cultural atmosphere. Gradually, a cultural street has been formed and has been passed down to this day.

The current Liulichang mainly sells antique calligraphy and painting, as well as calligraphy and painting supplies, pen, ink, paper and ink, etc., and some painting shops specializing in selling Chinese paintings.

Wandering on this street can give people a lot of Chinese classical culture atmosphere, with antique classical buildings everywhere, red railings and ink pavilions, small buildings and windows. Whenever you walk into a house, you can feel the cultural atmosphere of China for five thousand years.

In this era, Liulichang's shops were all state-owned or jointly run by public or private stores. Although the service attitude was not as good as that of private stores, there was one thing that could be assured that was - there was no fakes!

What are the most feared when buying antiques?

I'm just afraid of selling fakes.

Han Mingxiu doesn't understand antiques. Although she had watched the "Treasure Appraisal" column in her previous life and also watched some antique auctions, she watched them as if they were watching the fun and did not study antiques.

However, even if she couldn't understand it, she knew that those antiques were valuable in later generations, and those antiques had high collection value. After all, those dozens of episodes of treasure appraisal programs were not for nothing.

In a shop with a small store, she fell in love with a double lion-ear pot with turquoise green gold-patterned longevity characters. It was made during the Qianlong period. The shape of the vessel is very beautiful, and she fell in love with it at first sight.

However, when I asked, it cost 1,000 yuan!

You know, in this era, one thousand yuan is enough to buy a house and land, but this small ear pot costs 1,000 yuan, and the price is really not low!

The salesperson selling goods also told her that although this treasure was not from the palace, it was something from the palace. It was sold by a down-and-out Beile master. It was real and it would be a good loss if he bought it!

Han Mingxiu also knew that she would not lose money after buying it, but she had no money now, so she had to wait until she sold the hairy crabs before buying it.

Afterwards, she fell in love with a blue gold and silver 10,000-character cotton cloak with a longevity pattern for 400 yuan; a pastel Ma Gu's snuff bottle for a longevity offer cost for 800 yuan; a Bada Shanren's "Swimming Fish Picture" for 1,200 yuan; a Duan inkstone, a few lake pens, and the most favorite of her is the Huanghuali six-pillar openwork carving and a phoenix bird rack bed.

Han Mingxiu fell in love with the bed at first sight, and she was not afraid of it. According to the salesperson, this is a good thing passed down from the Ming Dynasty. The entire bed was built without a single nail or a screw. It was all made of mortise and tenon technology. The bed was well preserved, and it had been a few hundred years of things, and there was basically no broken place.

Han Mingxiu immediately decided to buy it, but the bed costs 4,000 yuan!

Four thousand yuan is enough to buy a courtyard house in the best location in Beijing. This price is really good!

However, Han Mingxiu is not short of money. Although she has no money now, isn’t she going to have money right away?

In order not to make any mistakes, she took out the only 60 yuan in her pocket and paid the deposit. She booked to buy the bed within five days. If she didn't buy it within five days, the deposit of 60 yuan would belong to her!

After reading this bed, Han Mingxiu stopped holding it and went directly to Jia Zhiguo's office to find Jia Zhiguo and told him that the goods had arrived and that they could go and pick up the goods at any time.

When Jia Zhiguo saw that the goods were all gathered so quickly, he immediately took a few people, drove the car, and took the big name, happily with Han Mingxiu to inspect and receive the goods.

The pestle opened to the rental house. When Han Mingxiu opened the door, he moved the crabs and oysters into the house. After opening the door, he saw many silk bags placed one by one on the ground in the house, which contained large crabs and oysters.

"The goods are all here. Please bring someone to count them. Let's settle the money."

Han Mingxiu was still in a hurry to buy some of her favorite antiques, and couldn't wait to urge him to inspect and accept the goods so that he could settle the money as soon as possible.

Jia Zhiguo said with a smile, "Girl, don't worry, I have to test the quality of the goods first. Don't mind if I steam a few, try it."

Han Mingxiu said readily, "Okay, I have a stove at home. You can check the goods in these bags at random."

Jia Zhiguo didn't be polite to her. He opened a bag in the middle and took out a crab. He opened a few bags next to him and took out one. He used the same method to pull out a few oysters and steamed them in the pot of Han Mingxiu's rental house.

Twenty minutes later, the crabs and oysters were steamed, and the aroma of seafood filled the whole room. Jia Zhiguo and the few people he brought smelled the delicious smell and kept sniffing.

Han Mingxiu lifted the pot, picked out all the crabs and oysters, and asked them to taste them.

Jia Zhiguo opened the crab and saw the snow-white crab meat and orange-yellow crab roe inside. It looked fresh. He took the chopsticks and tasted it. Oh, it was fresh and delicious, as delicious as the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake!

These people were all greedy, and they couldn't put their chopsticks after eating such delicious food. Several people ate all the big crabs and oysters in one breath, and then they gave up.

"How is it? Is my goods qualified?" Han Mingxiu asked.

Jia Zhiguo wiped his mouth and said in a stack of voices, "Quality, I'll receive the goods now."

After saying that, with the order, several people began to weigh crabs and oysters with large scales. Jia Zhiguo also returned to his serious appearance, counted with the notebook, and after weighing the crabs and oysters, Jia Zhiguo took out the money and ordered Han Mingxiu in person.

The crabs were 5,422 kilograms, and they were sold for 5,964 yuan and two yuan. Han Mingxiu generously wiped off the fraction and only collected 5,960 yuan.

The oysters were 5,103 kilograms, and they sold for 4,082 yuan. Han Mingxiu still wiped the pieces and only collected 4,080 yuan.

In this way, Han Mingxiu suddenly earned 10,000 yuan.

Ten thousand yuan is definitely a huge sum of money in this era. If it were put in the past, Han Mingxiu would definitely be very satisfied. However, after visiting Liulichang today, Han Mingxiu secretly regretted that she had promised Jia Zhiguo too little. If she could spend more, she could make more money and buy more antiques to save.

However, the matter is human.

When Jia Zhiguo and the others were transporting goods, Han Mingxiu said nothing, "her relative is still fishing, and she should be able to catch some in the past few days, but I don't know how much I can catch."

When Jia Zhiguo heard this, he immediately said in a nice voice, "Big girl, look, are you not too lazy to do business with your brother? The goods have arrived and you will be given money in person, right?"

Han Mingxiu nodded, "Yes, I'm happy to do business with someone like you."

Jia Zhiguo smiled, "So, if your relative can still get a batch of goods, you can take it to me to sell it. I won't treat you badly."

Han Mingxiu went astray, "Okay, I think Brother Jia is also a cheerful person. If he can still make trouble, he will definitely sell it to you."

That afternoon, Han Mingxiu happily transported all the antiques she had liked back to the rental house.

Looking at the treasures, Han Mingxiu was in a great mood. She didn't feel that there were many treasures that embodies the wisdom of Chinese people for thousands of years.

She secretly decided to find opportunities to sell more things and save more antiques. Isn’t it said that antiques in troubled and golden times are antiques? This era is a period of low prices of antiques. She should try her best to save them as much as possible and give them to those who can cherish these treasures in the future.

Or, it is regarded as a family heirloom treasure and kept for her descendants, and the descendants will continue to pass on.

When she finished buying these antiques, Sister He Li's uncle also talked about buying a house with Sister He Li's elder brother and second brother.

Uncle He didn't say that Sister He Li bought the house, but said that someone asked him to ask, and asked whether their families would sell the house? If the price was sold, the price would not be unfair.

Sister He Li's elder brother and second brother are both public offices and all units have houses. However, because they both have houses to live in, all units do not consider them at all when they divide houses every year. They have long felt deeply at a disadvantage for this.

At this moment, someone bought their house, and of course both brothers were happy to sell it.

Can the money for selling a house belong to them, and then they can live in the house that the public has distributed for free. Isn’t it much more suitable than now?

Dear, my son had something to do yesterday, and the update was too late, but the son still tried hard to update, but the last update was too late. The son was already trapped and had uploaded it in a confused manner, but he forgot to confirm it. He found out when he woke up at the last three o'clock.

Finally, that chapter was updated at around three o'clock. I'm so sorry for those babies who are waiting to read the article. My son will definitely be more diligent in the future and try to save more manuscripts to avoid being so anxious when encountering problems. Let the babies wait for me...

Say sorry again
