Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

Chapter 28 Phoebe nanmu, carrying the glory of the courtyard

It seems that there are still many genuine Panyuan products at that time.

The person closest to them was a skinny young man guarding a pile of yellowed furniture.

Chen Jianghe recognized the golden nanmu tree at a glance, of course with the help of the system.

Furniture made of golden nanmu has always been used by the royal family, or it can be used by high-ranking officials granted by the emperor.

Every time a dynasty changed, it was not uncommon for maids and servants to take advantage of the chaos to loot rare items such as gold, silver, and jewelry. Even first-class furniture might be stolen.

Therefore, it is normal for ordinary people to see one or two good things in their homes.

Everyone knows that gold, stone, jade and other items are valuable, so most people will keep them or exchange them for money when there is a food shortage.

On the contrary, some precious woods, porcelains and the like are easily thrown away as scraps or chopped up as firewood because of the high illiteracy rate today and people do not know their value.

This is also an important reason why Chen Jianghe was able to find many good things in the courtyard. Even the most educated teacher Yan did not think of this.

The young man with the shabby furniture looked to be in his thirties. It was obvious that his family was not well off and he was starving to death.

He must have just been here not long ago and was too embarrassed to start shouting.

Seeing Chen Jianghe looking at him, he took the initiative to ask.

"Comrade, do you want furniture? It's from the previous dynasty, made of the finest wood. Look at the workmanship and the patterns."

"Just 8 yuan and 10 kilograms of food coupons, and you can take it. I'll deliver it to your door!"

This person can't read or write and can't say anything nice.

He hadn't even done much business, but he revealed his bottom price right from the start.

"Eight yuan is expensive enough! And I need 8 kilograms of food coupons?!"

Lou Xiao'e had already considered herself as Chen Jianghe's wife, and now she began to think about saving some money for her family.

Seeing that the man on the side didn't say anything, the man selling furniture became a little anxious. He couldn't let this business, which had come so hard to his door, fall through just like that.

"Big brother, please say something. I really want to sell it."

"6 yuan, plus 10 kilograms of food coupons. You can help us deliver it after that. It's not far, just to Nanluoguxiang."

Chen Jianghe finally spoke, and to be honest, 8 yuan was not expensive.

But since Lou Xiao'e had already spoken, he had to consider the face of this female comrade.

Moreover, the current situation is that money may not be as useful as food coupons.

"Okay! Just as you said, I'll bring it to your door right away."

Chen Jianghe did not ask anyone to send the furniture back immediately.

He thought that since he was already here, it would be a waste of the trip if he didn't buy some. Besides, he could have someone send the items back with him.

"Xiao'e, look around again and see if there's anything you like. Let's buy it together."

Ever since Lou Xiao'e's family suffered a tragedy, no one had ever cared so much about her feelings, and her affection for Chen Jianghe increased even more.

No matter what, this man still cares about himself.

But in line with the concept of thrift and frugality, she did not buy things indiscriminately, but instead picked out a few newer plates and bowls in the market.

It will be useful in your future life.

When Chen Jianghe glanced at some unsold porcelain nearby, the system began to prompt again, indicating that this pile of "junk" would become valuable goods in the future.

It’s no wonder that there are not many fakes at that time. As long as there are seals and engravings on the bottom, 99% of them are old items.

Even if it is a fake, it is an old thing from the pigtail era, and it will take decades before it can be really valued.

He put aside the plates and bowls chosen by Lou Xiao'e, and picked up a pile of dusty ones.

"Boss, how much do these cost?"

"You want all of these?"

The stall owner, who was wearing a worn cotton-padded jacket, knocked his pipe and looked at Chen Jianghe in surprise.

"You name a price. If the price is right, I can buy some more."

"There are many children in the family. I feel bad when a new one is broken, so I just make a new one."

Just two sentences dispelled the stall owner's doubts. So that's how it was. He must seize the opportunity to sell more junk.

"Your wife has good taste. The ones she picked are all fine porcelain. Just give her 80 cents and five catties of food coupons."

"As for the stack of crispy ones for the kids... take it for one dollar and twenty cents."

"If you can buy the whole pile, I'll give you two bucks!"

The stall owner wanted to sell the pile of junk for three or four dollars to save the trouble of transporting it back and forth.

"My kids aren't that naughty. If I buy all of these, I'll have to use them as flower pots."

"Please give it to me, just take it on that cart over there."

Chen Jianghe took out four yuan in cash and gave out a five-jin food coupon.

There is a food shortage now. We may not be able to eat enough coarse grains, let alone fine grains.

"Well, you made a lot of money! I'll send it to you."

The stall owner took the money and food coupons and put them directly into his pocket.

Holy shit! A huge profit!

Chen Jianghe and the stall owner reached a deal, and both of them got something they were satisfied with, but they both cursed the other in their hearts, calling the other a fool.

"Brother, why do you still like these old things?"

"If we buy new goods from Jingdezhen, they will definitely be much cheaper than these!"

Lou Xiao'e couldn't figure it out, so she chose three plates and two bowls for a total of 80 cents.

Chen Jianghe's pile of old plates and bowls that no one wanted were only three dollars and twenty cents!

The point is, it's too old, and it will affect your appetite if you use it to eat...

What's the point of giving the child something to play with? They are not even married, so where does the child come from?

Even if you have children, who would spoil them so much? A child who smashes plates and makes noises is a prodigal son!

When the stall owner heard this, he realized that the man didn't want him to make any sale, so he quickly trotted over to put the goods on the cart.

Now that the money and goods are settled, it has nothing to do with me if the buyer wants to go back on his word.

"It's okay. I just like this kind of thing. When I use it myself, I'll use the new one you picked."

The guy selling golden nanmu furniture saw his friends coming back and quickly prepared to leave.

When I saw these two people spending four dollars to buy a bunch of junk, I said they were ripped off.

"This is a pile of junk that no one wants even if it's thrown on the street. Only someone as wealthy as you would buy it."

Thinking that the other party was so stupid and had so much money, he suddenly wondered if he had bid too low.

However, now that the money is already in my pocket, I can't change my mind at the last minute. I still have to have some dignity.

"I came across a rare item that I could buy for just a few bucks, and it was well worth the money."

Chen Jianghe said nonchalantly.

In fact, free trade was not popular at that time, but since it was not a physical store, some free exchanges could occur in some remote corners, and no one would take it seriously.

As long as you don't publicize it too much, that's illegal, and everyone can still trade things privately.

Otherwise, relying solely on that limited amount would cause great suffering to a large number of people.

After a while, the cart arrived at the gate of Compound No. 95.

On the way, Chen Jianghe had already given Lou Xiaoe instructions in advance.

"When buying things, tell others that you paid for them. You can't change this later."

"I am a poor family in the compound, and I am starving everywhere."

In order to avoid becoming a blood bag, he chose to shoulder the glory of the Siheyuan.

"Brother, I understand. This is called not showing off your wealth."
