Divorce in middle age: starting with the manor system

Chapter 206 204, Basement - Antiques

Wu Qingfeng was shocked immediately.

This is my own home, is it really necessary to be so exaggerated?
Seeing Wu Qingfeng's stunned expression, Li Chaoyuan immediately glanced at his son Li Xiaoping, and explained: "So there was no such door, and I installed it just to guard against this kid."

"This kid used to steal my collection of good wines. The key point is that he took all the wines to pick up girls, or made some low-level friends, and I wasted them."

Li Xiaoping blushed immediately when he heard the words. Anyway, he was quite embarrassed to be guarded by his father, even to say it in front of Wu Qingfeng.

"Dad, how long ago did that happen!" Li Xiaoping looked at his father anxiously.

"Hmph, no matter when, it's right to be on guard against you."

"I let you smash my enamel round bottle because I trusted you." Li Chaoyuan suddenly started to settle old scores again.

"Dad, as for what, a broken bottle is more important than your son and me!" Li Xiaoping asked angrily.

"As for it? My round enamel bottle is indeed worthless, but can its value be measured by money?"

"If you hit one, the world will lose one. It's not just a bottle, it's also a witness of culture and history!" Li Chaoyuan immediately blew his beard and stared at his son fiercely.

"Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong, well, I promise I won't touch anything after entering!" Li Xiaoping finally begged for mercy under the attack of his father's eyes.

Wu Qingfeng smiled.

I have to say that the Li family father and son are really interesting.

Li Chaoyuan didn't want to be unreasonable, after all, he was his son, after saying a few words, he walked down the stairs.

Wu Qingfeng was a little surprised looking at the stairs. These wooden stairs are definitely not after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but probably before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

With more than two dozen stairs, let alone the basement is quite deep.

After going down the last stairs, Wu Qingfeng was stunned.

The space is not big, estimated to be only [-] square meters, but there are all kinds of quaint furniture inside, and the air is filled with the aroma of wine, tea, and the charm of history.

Seeing Wu Qingfeng's surprise, Li Chaoyuan laughed and said, "This basement was not built when the house was built, but existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"When I tore down the old house in 108, I bought this place. When [-] Square was developed, I reserved the villa here, and asked them to reserve this basement for me."

"Then these antiques, wine?" Wu Qingfeng asked suspiciously.

"I got these later, but these pineapple wood cabinets were originally there, but when I bought this house in 03, these things were not worth much!" Li Chaoyuan laughed.

Wu Qingfeng nodded. Indeed, around 2000, the market for antiques hadn't risen yet.

These seven yellow pear wood cabinets are very beautiful and well preserved. The overall color is earthy yellow, with striped wood grains, and the brown eyes are arranged in a figure-eight pattern, like fish meat grains.

The material used should be the fragrance type, which is the most beautiful and typical type of huanghuali, and the dosage is also the largest.

It can be seen that if the former owner of this piece of land didn't buy it, then the ancestors should have been glorious.

Although the yellow pear wood rose in the Ming Dynasty, it flourished in the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, almost all the yellow pear wood in China was made into furniture.

Although the quantity is also large, it is by no means affordable for ordinary people.

Of course, these pineapple wood cabinets are only a few million according to the antique market, and they are worth more than ten million, which is nothing to Li Chaoyuan.

"Uncle, do you like antiques?" Wu Qingfeng followed Li Chaoyuan, looking at them as they walked.

Seven side-by-side yellow pear wood cabinets are filled with antiques, one cabinet has twelve small compartments, seven wooden cabinets have 84 small compartments, and each compartment has an antique.

Not only that, there are two modern craft cabinets beside it, and there are also a dozen or two antiques.

"Do you like antiques too?" Li Chaoyuan looked at Wu Qingfeng and asked doubtfully.

"I don't understand antiques!" Wu Qingfeng shook his head hastily.

He knew nothing about antiques and was not interested.

To insist on antiques, in fact, there were many antiques in their house before, but before he was born, they had already turned into rubble.

In addition, many rich people regard the collection of antiques as an investment and a means of storing value, because the currency is constantly depreciating. People with a lot of cash need a reliable means of asset preservation and even value-added, while We must abide by the principle of not putting all eggs in the same basket, and collect antiques as a way to preserve value.

On the other hand, many entities achieve arbitrage by speculating on antiques, so it is not surprising that antiques are sought after.

Are there people who really like antiques, yes, but very few.

Hearing Wu Qingfeng's words, Li Chaoyuan nodded. He had to say that Li Chaoyuan felt that he had discovered another advantage of Wu Qingfeng.

Not to cater to others.

"Actually, I don't know much about antiques, so I don't really like them. It's just my hobby!" Li Chaoyuan thought for a while and said.

Wu Qingfeng was immediately puzzled, since it was an interest, how could he say he didn't like it?
I saw Li Chaoyuan continue to say: "All the antiques here are actually collected from the old house when I tossed the old house from the [-]s to the [-]s."

"Some are blue and white porcelain worth several million now, and some may be gadgets worth only a few thousand in the Republic of China."

"In the past, these things were put aside and left ashes. That is, in the past few years, when the antique market became hot, I only thought of them, but the housing prices also rose at that time, so these things have not been sold. A few years ago I Just found them and put them here.

But unfortunately, many of them were broken when we moved around in those years. Some of them could be repaired. "

"So sometimes when I have nothing to do, I will buy some books to study which dynasty they are from, that kind of craftsmanship, and where they were fired!"

"Sometimes I read the introduction in the book and know that every antique will bring us a lot of historical information. Understanding history through the study of objects is more vivid and intuitive than words, adding to the interest of life."

"To be honest, I'm a half-hearted antique collector now!" Li Chaoyuan laughed.

"Uncle is so knowledgeable and talented!" Wu Qingfeng praised.

This is not flattery. It is a learning process to learn everything about antiques from just being interested.

Although it seems simple, many people can't do it.

"Ha ha!!"

"Let's go, I'll take you to see my collection of tea and wine!" Li Chaoyuan was naturally happy when he heard Wu Qingfeng's praise.

But Wu Qingfeng didn't understand antiques, so naturally he wouldn't talk much to Wu Qingfeng about antiques.

After all, one is in love with cattle, and the other is not interested.

It's just embarrassing in the end!
