156: Calligraphy, Painting, Trading, Vacation
Jiang Hao was a little excited, calmed down for a while, and asked the old man, “Master, are these things your own?”
The old man nodded sadly: “These are all left by my father before he died, but we have a large family now, and we also have to eat, so…”
“Then uncle, how do you sell this?” Jiang Hao asked.
The old man shook his head and said, “I don’t sell money, I want to exchange food, meat, and tickets!”
“It’s no problem, it’s absolutely possible, you always say the number, if it’s suitable, I’ll change it!” Jiang Hao said solemnly.
“I want ten catties of white flour and half a catty of meat for a painting. If it’s cornmeal, you have to give me twenty-five catties,” the old man said.
Jiang Hao calculated in his heart that the price of white noodles is now 20 cents a pound for the supply and marketing agency, and an additional ticket is required. On the black market, it costs 60 cents a pound, 10 jin is 6 yuan, and if you add meat, it’s almost 75 yuan.
If this painting is placed in later generations, it will definitely be valuable, but in this age, antiques and paintings and calligraphy are the least valuable. It can be exchanged for one or two yuan, and some even only need a few cents. Years later, his fame gradually increased.
Jiang Hao shook his head and said: “Master, your asking price is too high. Antiques will be valuable in the past or in the future, but no one wants them now. If you look at the antiques over there, only one piece will be sold. Two yuan, very good, it’s less than ten yuan, and your father’s paintings are obviously not famous enough now, and they are not old objects.”
“Young man, how much do you want?” the old man asked Jiang Hao.
“I don’t even want to give you any price cuts. The ones you have here are all new, and they are Shiraishi’s own paintings.
I’ll be generous and give you the transaction price of antiques over there as a reference. For the things you just asked for, if you give me five pieces of calligraphy, paintings or antiques, I will exchange them with you, otherwise I can’t do anything about it. Now it’s up to you! ”
The old man also knew that Jiang Hao was telling the truth. He had been here for several days to set up a stall, and he had not received any goods, and every time he came here, he had to pay a dime for the entry fee.
Although the old man looked reluctant, he remembered several grandchildren at home who were waiting to be fed, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.
Jiang Hao asked, “Is Mr. Baishi your father?”
The old man nodded and said, “Yes! My old father passed away two years ago.”
Jiang Hao asked inexplicably, “Then your family should have some savings, right? Isn’t there enough to eat?”
The old man sighed and said, “Our old man used to have several wives and concubines, and each wives and concubines left a bunch of children, so there are many children, and I am just one of them.
In addition, the old man loves to collect antiquities all his life, and there is not much money in the family for our children and grandchildren. A few years ago, gold was also handed over to the public. Even if you have money now, there is no ticket. What’s the use, and money can’t be eaten as food. ”
Jiang Hao sighed, but he is not a saint, he can buy this painting and calligraphy according to the antique, it is enoughAfter thinking about it, it is kind enough. If ordinary people come up to trade, it is not bad to give fifty cents or one piece per piece.
Now no one but him buys this pile of paintings and calligraphy, and Mr. Shiraishi’s paintings and calligraphy are not well-known.
“Grandpa, I want all of your paintings. The price is based on five pieces. As long as it is antiquities and your father’s calligraphy and paintings, I will do the same. Except for the very good ones, the price of rare ones will be calculated separately.” Jiang Hao said proudly. .
“Young man, do you really have so much food? You won’t deceive my old man, will you?” The old man was a little suspicious.
“How many paintings and calligraphy do you have here?” Jiang Hao asked rhetorically.
“I have more than 200 paintings here, and some 20 old antiques,” the old man said.
“Well, no problem, but you don’t have that many paintings and calligraphy here. I have these grains, do you want white flour or corn flour?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I want 30% of the white flour, and cornmeal for the rest!” The old man thought about it.
“Yes! Let’s go to that corner and make a deal!” Jiang Hao said to the old man. He took the old man to a nearby grove, of course, before the old man. Otherwise, he would be scared to death by releasing things out of thin air.
Jiang Hao took out the pre-prepared food, all in bags, containing 150 catties of white flour and more than 900 catties of cornmeal.
The old man was very excited when he saw the pile of white noodles and cornmeal. These grains were enough for their family to eat for a few months. Before, the dozen or so members of their family only ate two meals a day, and they were all watery.
Jiang Hao asked with concern: “Master, is it easy for you to take so much food?”
The old man nodded and said, “My two sons are nearby. I asked them to come over. I believe in you, old man. I will leave these paintings and calligraphy with you first, and my remaining paintings and calligraphy are also with my two sons.”
Jiang Hao nodded: “Master, don’t worry, I won’t be greedy for these paintings and calligraphy!”
Ten minutes later, the old man came with his two sons and two carts, one of which had some paintings and calligraphy on it.
Seeing the old man’s cart, Jiang Hao jokingly said, “Master, do you plan to sell all of them today? You actually brought two cars with you.”
The old man said ashamed: “How did I know that I could run into your distinguished guest, old man. We only brought one car, and the other car was borrowed from someone else.”
Jiang Hao smiled: “Okay, uncle, then we’ve made a deal. If you still need it, you can come to me. Of course, you can also recommend it to me if you have friends.”
The old man nodded and smiled and said: “Okay! I will definitely recommend it to you. I have a few brothers and friends who are also having a hard time. They also have a lot of old objects in their homes. How can I contact you in the future?”
Jiang Hao thought for a while and said, “I’ll come here every two weeks in the future. It’s about the same time. Uncle, you and your son will check the food, and I’ll check the scrolls and paintings.”
“Okay! Okay! Son, come, come and have a look. If the food and meat are checked, we will move home. This time we can eat well for a few months!” The old man rubbed his hands excitedly .
The old man’s two sons were also inexplicably excited, with tears in their eyes, their hair was a little gray, their bodies were thin, and they were probably starved.
Jiang Hao said to the old man:
“Master! This meat is also put here. Would you like someone to weigh it? There are more than 24 pounds here.”
“Well! Boss, go and borrow a scale nearby!”
Jiang Hao opened the paintings and calligraphy one by one, and found that most of them were shrimps and crabs, some of them were sloppy, and some of the antiques were brush washes.
Jiang Hao asked Jiang Miao, who had just returned to the system space, to take a look. There were actually two brush washes from the Song Dynasty, one of which was from the Ru kiln celadon glaze, and the other from the Ding kiln. It is from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Jiang Hao was very satisfied with his harvest. Before leaving, Jiang Hao said to the old man:
“Master, in fact, I still have rice, soybean oil and rapeseed oil here. If you are short of oil and water, you can change this in the future.”
The old man looked frustrated and complained to Jiang Hao:
“Young man, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Jiang Hao laughed and said: ”
It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, old man. In today’s average family, he would rather buy meat than oil. Oil is more expensive than meat, and fat can be roamed in. The lard residue after cooking oil can be used for bibimbap. Can cook. ”
“That boy, remember to bring me some next time, it’s hard to buy oil now, everyone has nothing to eat, where can pigs have more food to eat?
So the same is true for pigs. There is not much fat. We go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat. If you want to be fat, at least you have to have a good relationship with the meat seller.
Otherwise, all you will be given is lean meat, how can there be so much fat! ”
The two sides talked a few more words, and after receiving and counting their items, they left.
After Jiang Hao came back, he directly stored the calligraphy and painting items from the trade in a warehouse in the villa.
Ceramics are placed in the underground warehouse. Because calligraphy and painting can detect carbon 14, Jiang Hao dare not put them in a static space.
Yu Haitang went home after school today, and persuaded He Yuyu to go home early, so as not to worry about silly Zhu, who found Yu Haitang’s house in the middle of the night last night.
In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday. After get off work, the girls negotiated with their families two days ago, so after school or get off work,
They also found their own reasons to come out and enter the small world in advance.
Luoshanji’s mansion facing the sea, here is a villa of more than 600 square meters, divided into two floors, five rooms upstairs, three rooms downstairs, living area, toilet and brand new sauna pine downstairs.
The ground floor of the house is full of floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and the sea is unobstructed. blue sky, endless sea water, beautiful scenery.
There is also a remodeled oversized swimming pool in the courtyard of the villa. The length of the swimming pool is more than 30 meters and the width is 15 meters.
Jiangnan Si and the others are looking for people from the Yan Kingdom. If they find the Bald Eagle natives, it is estimated that they will not be able to deal with it in a few weeks.
There is an open-air bar next to it, two shelves are fixed on the left side, two swings are installed on it, and two large tables and matching chairs are placed near the edge of the cliff.
There are also two oversized tents erected near the edge of the pool, with four lounge chairs placed below.
The villa is on the edge of the coast, there is a certain height difference from the beach, and the height from the villa to the beach is about 30 meters.
Because the residents who live here are all to play with the sea and the beach, the connection between the cliff and the beach is surrounded by ladders, and the sea below is clear.
After the girls left the small world, they fell in love with it immediately. Jiang Hao brought out the four little brown bears this time, the three sisters Ivana, Ivanya, and Ivanli. The three of them were tired of staying in the small world for so long, so they were very happy after coming out. Although the small world did not have to worry about food, accommodation and clothing, and the space was not small, after all, it was not as good as the outside world.
