Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Pian Ye opened the door and invited the two to come in.

It can be seen that Pian Ye is a particular person.

Although the family was in a poor state, the house was kept tidy.

Wang Jianjun glanced at the layout of the entire yard and said half-jokingly:

"Master Pian, if you want to sell this house in the future, please remember to find me. I like your yard."

Pian Ye also joked back:

"Okay, if that day comes, I will definitely look for you, Brother Ye."

Wang Jianjun smiled secretly, now he had a better chance of getting the house.

The two of them walked all the way to the backyard, and Pian Ye opened the main room and moved out an armchair and a screen from the house.

Wang Jianjun took a glance at it and found that it was indeed made of rosewood.

And the maintenance is pretty good.

"How is it, Brother Ye. Are you satisfied with these two?"

"I'm satisfied. How much is it? Just tell me. If the price is right, I'll take it."

"Okay, you're a straightforward person. If you want these two, just take them for a hundred dollars."

This price was not bad, Wang Jianjun did not bargain and directly took out twenty yuan and handed it over:

"Okay, I'll take it. This is the deposit. I'll pick up the goods tomorrow."

Pian Ye was happy to see Wang Jianjun being so straightforward.

Like Wu Jing, he is the kind of person who doesn't feel bad about selling his father's land to his own son.

The family is so poor that they have to tell stories on the streets to earn money for the children, so why keep these old furniture?

"Okay, come over tomorrow. I'll be home."

Wang Jianjun chatted with Pian Ye for a few words and then said goodbye and left with Wu Jing.

After leaving the courtyard, Wang Jianjun took out another eight yuan and handed it to Wu Jing, saying:

"Thank you for your hard work this time, Brother Wu. This is your commission for the first transaction of two pieces of furniture as we agreed."

Wu Jing was a little excited and a little embarrassed and said:

"Well... then... then thank you very much."

Although it was agreed upon in advance, he still felt it was unreal that he could earn eight dollars just by mentioning it casually.

This money is so easy to make.

Wang Jianjun smiled secretly, this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Interests are the most effective way to motivate people.

The two then discussed the subsequent transaction. There was nothing else to discuss, the main issue was confidentiality and security.

Wu Jing dared to go to the black market alone, so he naturally knew the importance of being cautious.

Moreover, he has his own courtyard house, which is much safer.

The next day, Wang Jianjun drove a donkey cart to Pian Ye, paid the balance, and took away the master's portrait and the screen.

As for Wu Jing, he needs some time to contact people.

Wang Jianjun also asked him to help rent a remote courtyard near his home.

Each of you keeps one key.

Normally, when there was an antique transaction, Wu Jing would leave a note on the table, write the time on it and ask Wang Jianjun to come over for the transaction.

If you need to purchase things like food and meat, you should also write down the items, quantity and time. Wang Jianjun will place the items in the yard according to your needs.

Wang Jianjun left a coordinate in the yard.

He recently discovered that teleporting coordinates also has the function of teleporting materials to a specific point.

The biggest advantage is that there is no need to waste a teleportation opportunity.

Wu Jing was very efficient and wrote him a message that afternoon saying that he had found a seller who wanted to sell something.

Wang Jianjun couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw the news through the transmission coordinates. Wu Jing is really a capable person.

In other words, in this era, all you can do is eat and wait for death.

If this were in the future, he would definitely be successful with his abilities.

Early the next morning, Wang Jianjun disguised himself and went to Wu Jing's house.

As for the seller, he was already waiting at Wu Jing's house.

Wu Jing was not surprised by Wang Jianjun's outfit.

Followed Wu Jing into the yard.

I saw a slightly plump middle-aged man sitting there drinking tea with a cloth bag in his hand.

Wu Jing introduced them to the two with a smile:

"Brother Ye, this is Master Li Wensheng. His ancestors produced a first-rank university scholar during the Qianlong period."

Wang Jianjun also knew that these bannermen were all like this.

No matter how poor they are, they like to brag about the great achievements of their ancestors to everyone they meet.

"It turned out to be Master Li."

Wang Jianjun didn't mind giving a few compliments, since nice words don't cost any money anyway.

Li Wensheng was very pleased to hear Wu Jing and Wang Jianjun being so polite, so he spoke:

"I heard from Wu Jing that you wanted to buy antiques. I happen to have a few things handed down from my ancestors. Please take a look at them."

As he spoke, he opened the cloth on the table, revealing several objects inside.

A vase, a snuff bottle and a pair of doucai flower goblets.

Li Wensheng pointed at these things and explained the origins of each one.

Wang Jianjun picked up the vase and observed it. In fact, he was using his spatial scanning ability to scan it.

He learned some basic identification skills from someone some time ago.

By cheating with the scanning ability, you can also identify most of it.

The smoothness of porcelain is mainly checked by scanning.

Generally speaking, porcelain produced by official kilns or imperial kilns is much smoother than that produced by folk kilns.

This is the difference of fine workmanship.

Of course there are some other details, but he only learned the basics and can't use them for the time being.

After Wang Jianjun finished checking, he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, and then he said:

"Okay, no problem. Master Li, just give me a price and I'll take it if it's suitable."

"These are all heirlooms from my family. If it weren't for Wu Jing's sake, I wouldn't sell them. If you're really sincere, I'll sell them for 200 yuan."

Two hundred is not a lot, but Wang Jianjun cannot follow the other party's bidding.

After some bargaining, Wang Jianjun finally bought the items for 180 yuan.

Wang Jianjun noticed that Mr. Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the transaction.

I felt funny in my heart. This guy was obviously short of money, but I wanted to sell something to him, but he had to put on airs.

But that’s fine too.

The more the other party likes to put on airs, the faster the money will be spent.

By then I will have to sell things to myself.

Moreover, Wang Jianjun estimated that the other party's money would eventually flow back into his hands.

The deal was done and both money and goods were paid.

Master Li and Wang Jianjun informed Wu Jing and said, "I'll come to pick up the goods tomorrow afternoon."

Having said that, he said goodbye and left.

After everyone left, Wu Jing said to Wang Jianjun:

"Brother Ye, since you are here today, I will tell you directly. Mr. Li ordered some goods from me yesterday. Please tell me when I will go to pick up the goods tomorrow."

"It can be done tonight. Next time, tell me half a day in advance and I can get it. Tell me what the other party wants."

"This time it's Master Li's father's birthday, and he plans to set up a few tables. In total, he needs five chickens, ten pounds of pork, fifty pounds of flour, and five pounds of mutton. Brother Ye, are these things too much?"

Wu Jing asked tentatively. Although Wang Jianjun said he would give him as much goods as he wanted, he was still a little worried.

Wang Jianjun waved his hand and said indifferently:

"This is nothing. We can prepare it for you in the evening. You can pick up the goods after 8pm.

Don't worry, I can get you ten or even dozens of times the amount."
