Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

This time, in order to suppress the matter, Director Wang and Director Yang were very generous and gave Lin Geng a lot of various tickets. Lin Geng used these tickets to buy some cotton cloth and some snacks like melon seeds and candies in the supply and marketing cooperative. As for meat, he had no shortage of it now. When Director Yang asked Secretary Chen to plead for Yi Zhonghai, he brought him a large piece of fat meat weighing about ten kilograms, which was still in the small world. He would not lack meat in the short term.

He originally wanted to buy the bicycle right away. He had a bicycle ticket given by Director Yang and he had no shortage of money. But after thinking about it, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He decided that it would not be too late to buy it after those beasts were released. Then he would ride the new bicycle back to the courtyard to show off and see if he could piss those beasts off to death.

After going out and throwing the things he bought into the space, he ran to an orchard on the edge of Sijiu City, strolled outside the orchard, and quietly brought several small apple and pear tree saplings that had sprouted from outside the orchard into the small world and planted them in the reserved medicinal field.

These are small saplings that grew from the cores of rotten fruits thrown away by orchards. No one cares about them and no one will notice if they are taken away.

He had wanted to get some fruit tree seedlings to plant in the small world before, but at that time he had not yet absorbed all the energy, and his physique was still very weak. Running so far was really a bit tiring, so he put it off until today and came here to get some apple and pear tree seedlings.

However, this orchard only had some apple and pear trees planted. He also wanted to get some peach trees, persimmon trees, apricot trees, and grape seedlings. Unfortunately, this orchard did not have any of them. He could only wait until he went back to the countryside to look for them.

He is already very satisfied with the apple and pear tree saplings he has received for the time being. It won’t be long before these fruit tree saplings will bear fruit in the small world, and he believes that the fruits will taste even better than the original varieties.

He has tasted the tomatoes and cucumbers produced by his own farm in his own small world, and they taste much better than those outside. The land in this small world is also very magical. It seems that it can improve the plants on its own, making the taste of the food and various vegetables and fruits grown here much better.

Next, he decided to plant some fruits such as watermelons and melons in the small world, so that he would not have to worry about eating fruits in the future.

Anyway, there are no four seasons in this small world, crops can be planted at any time, and fresh vegetables, fruits and melons can be eaten all year round.

If the powerful person who created this small world knew that this small world he created with great effort fell into Lin Geng's hands and was used to grow crops, vegetables, fruits and other things, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life to settle the score with him. This is simply a waste of precious things.

But Lin Geng didn't care whether the great man was angry or not! He didn't know how to grow Chinese medicine anyway. Even if he knew a little, he wouldn't be able to process the herbs after growing them.

However, he could take things like grain, vegetables, and fruits to the pigeon market and easily sell them for money. He would have to rely on these things for a long time in the future. Not only did he have to gain a foothold in the steel mill, but he also had to save a large sum of money before the reform and opening up as capital for his future takeoff.

When he was returning to the courtyard after harvesting the apple trees, he accidentally passed by a trust store on the way. So he walked into the trust store, intending to take a look at the old furniture there first, then go back and do some simple renovation of his home and get some furniture to use back home.

There are still many old-fashioned furniture on the market. Some of them are mahogany furniture that were once used in the homes of high-ranking officials in the old city. Now those high-ranking officials have been overthrown, and some of the old people have fallen into poverty and have to sell some of their household items at low prices.

He planned to take the opportunity to collect some, some for his own home use, and some to be stored in the thatched cottage in the space. Good old-fashioned Ming and Qing mahogany furniture would become very valuable collectibles in later times, with shockingly high prices. Now that he has money and space, and while the prices of these old items are outrageously low, he would collect a batch of them, which can also be regarded as a reserve fund for the future.

So Lin Geng went into the trust store and took a walk around. The area of ​​this trust store was quite large. The front storefront was very large, and there was a warehouse in the back, where all kinds of collected items were placed for customers to choose from.

However, the trust store was also state-owned, so there was no need to worry about the attitude of the sales clerks. They were all lazy and sat in the store chatting. When Lin Geng came in, they just rolled their eyes and glanced at him, then ignored him and had no intention of greeting him at all.

Lin Geng could only look around the store himself, and sure enough, there were some old furniture that looked like they were in the Ming and Qing styles. The material should be mahogany, but he didn't know much about it. It looked like there were both rosewood and huanghuali, but it was unlikely to be red sandalwood, but there might be some huanghuali.

However, Lin Geng hasn't cleaned the house yet, so he plans to just take a look first. It won't be too late to buy these old furniture after he has cleaned the house.

As he was walking around, he suddenly saw several traditional recurve bows placed on the wall in a corner of the store. They had no strings on them and were just piled up in the corner covered in dust, looking very inconspicuous.

This immediately caught his attention, so he walked over and started looking at the pictures one by one.

Later, as a hobby, he was asked to join an archery club and became a member. He also bought two bows to practice from time to time. His archery skills were just so-so, not very good, but decent, and he liked it quite a bit.

Now he saw such a traditional bow in the trust store, which was obviously an old item, so he picked it up and looked at it carefully.

He was overjoyed when he saw this. It turned out that these bows were all Chinese composite bows carefully made with traditional craftsmanship. They were made of ox horns, bamboo, mulberry wood and other materials. They were carefully polished, glued, painted and other techniques by skilled bow-making craftsmen. It took one or two years to make them.

These are all collections collected by some dignitaries in the past. Their value at that time alone was quite high. If they were placed in later generations, they would definitely be considered cultural relics and their value would definitely be very high. The key is that there is no place to get them in later generations.

Lin Geng looked at these bows and selected five. All of them were well-made and, at present, had no damage such as cracks. They were completely usable bows.

So Lin Geng thought for a moment and figured out the use of the bow. He was going to work in the purchasing department of a steel rolling mill in the future, and he boasted that he could get game and meat such as chickens, ducks, rabbits and fish. So he boasted to Secretary Chen that he could hunt, and in the future he could use the excuse of going to the countryside and the mountains to hunt and apply to the factory leaders for permission to go to the countryside.

Although gun control is not strict now, if he applies to the factory for a rifle for hunting as soon as he starts working, the factory probably will not easily agree to equip him with a rifle.

So at the beginning, he still had to find a way to get prey by himself. Although he could take a letter of introduction to a village outside the city near the mountain and ask the villagers for prey, how could it be as fun as hunting by himself?

He had never hunted before and wanted to try hunting in the mountains. Without a gun, his only option would be to hunt with a bow and arrow.

Cold weapons like bows were not banned even in later generations, so naturally no one would care about them in this era. After all, if you want to use this thing well, you need very strong skills and a long time of practice to be able to shoot accurately. Therefore, it is not like guns and crossbows, which can exert great lethality with a little training.

Even if these good bows are not used, they can be stored properly in a space and can appreciate in value in the future. Even if they are not sold in the future, they can be placed at home or hung on the wall, and they are still very good things.

So Lin Geng immediately called a male salesperson and asked how much these bows were sold for.
