"Two kilos is not enough, just give me another two kilos!"
After seeing the words coming out of his mouth, his brother-in-law looked at him like he was a fool, and Fan Jin became unhappy.
"What's wrong, man, food these days is more precious than anything else, not to mention the best mutton. It's just a few pieces of jade, how can I exchange it?" Fan Jinyou said with a tone that questioned his brother-in-law's IQ.
said.
"Do you think someone who owns this object can understand its value?" Chen Xuefeng could be suppressed by Chen Xueru. He is indeed a good-tempered person. When questioned, he just said indifferently.
Hearing what his brother-in-law said, Fan Jinyou understood that it was something in the hands of some Manchu regent.
It is impossible to pick up the leak, and the transaction must be done according to the current price.
"Okay then, you first tell the owner of the thing and what price he wants to resell it for."
Although it lacks the fun of picking up leaks, it is not unacceptable to Fan Jinyou to trade according to the current price.
"The owner of this thing, his son is getting married, and for the sake of face, he wants to host a decent banquet. You understand what I'm saying."
"Brother, can you afford a table? You just want me to get you some mutton."
"I can't afford it. Now that I have mutton, can I buy two more cans and replace it with a jade ring?"
"Brother, you really can't lose your mind by playing with things. It's not easy to have some good things at home. You'd better keep the canned food. Leave it to me to buy the banquet. Help me exchange these pieces of jade. You can play with it when you want.
Everything is fine.”
Chen Xuefeng is still much more refined as a person than Fan Jin, and he really likes antiques.
Unlike Fan Jinyou who is so vulgar, if these antiques do not have huge economic value, even if Fan Jinyou likes them, he would not want to exchange them with precious materials.
"Jin You, in three days, the banquet will be held. We need to prepare so many supplies, are you sure?"
"I can't say it's 100%, I can only say 98%. It's just a banquet. There may not be any mutton, but I'm still sure about chicken, duck and fish."
At first, he refused his brother-in-law too decisively. Fan Jinyou still had more than half of the sheep, so it was hard to take them out again.
"Okay, if you believe me, I will be the middleman. You can't let your brother and I work in vain. After the things are exchanged, you have to let me play with them for a while."
"Okay, no problem, as long as I change the things back, it will be fine for you to play with for three to five months."
Fan Jinyou still trusts Chen Xuefeng's character.
With Chen Xuefeng's inheritance from the Chen family, Fan Jinyou was worried about lending Chen Xuefeng a few pieces of jade to play with.
Fan Jinyou felt that it was really a good idea to invite him to this meal today, and it was also thanks to Chen Xueru that he insisted on celebrating.
My brother-in-law often brings unexpected surprises to others.
In the past, I took Fan Jinyou to look for various delicacies, but now I can also take Fan Jinyou to look for various fine antiques.
It's all because Fan Jinyou wasn't careful enough in normal times. It was only after the disaster year passed that he discovered that his brother-in-law still had this ability.
It was a time when it was best to get good things from the hands of this group of Manchu relics, old and young, but Fan Jinyou almost missed it.
However, people still have to be more open-minded, and even if it is a bad thing, they should try to think of the best.
For these people, who understand the value, the first items to be sold must be common items. The later items are sold, the better items will happen to be.
If Fan Jin can catch up with the tail, he will also catch up with the time when the good things are the most. This is something to be thankful for.
Moreover, knowing that his brother-in-law knows such a group of people, Fan Jinyou will be able to live a long life.
In twenty years, I can always buy more things from these people.
"Chen Xueru, you did the right thing this time. When it's time to celebrate, sometimes you still have to celebrate."
Fan Jinyou was in a good mood when he got home and started praising his wife.
"Why are you so happy? You went out to see someone back and what good things happened to you?"
Fan Jinyou told Chen Xueru about the matter to prevent Chen Xueru from having too much contact with Chen Xueru, who had been unwilling to do so.
Chen Xueru is a little more prejudiced against her brother. In some ways, her brother-in-law is still very useful.
From the perspective of collecting antiques alone, Chen Xuefeng's role is no less important than that of Niu Ye, a bannerman.
"Don't mention it, my brother knows so many people, he is still of some use. For a table, you need to buy a lot of supplies. Do you need me to get you some money?"
"That's not necessary. I have money in my hand. This time I have exchanged the items and they can be considered as my collection."
Fan Jinyou still understands who decides who spends money to buy something.
It would be a great loss for Fan Jinyou if this very good thing was left in Chen Xueru's hands and Chen Xueru made the decision, but was cheated by Xu Huizhen or given to Hou Kui.
This kid Hou Kui has an old man from Chou Country who helps him make money, and he has already won at the starting line.
Of his two sons, only Fan Jin has this father. In order to prevent his sons from losing the starting line to Hou Kui, all Fan Jin can do now is help his sons save more antiques.
That night, Fan Jin had a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right hand, so he gave them to his brother-in-law.
I also asked the owner of Jade to see the strength here and decide on the exchange.
Finally, Fan Jinyou added ten pounds of white flour, one pound of eggs, one pound of grass carp, one pound of bacon, several pounds of cabbage, potatoes, and a small amount of onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers.
In exchange for two jade pendants, a jade ring, and a pair of jade bracelets.
"Fan Jinyou, please leave the things you agreed to with me first. You won't regret it."
"I won't go back on my word. I'll leave it here with you. Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't believe you, but you have to let me know what I'm getting back."
After seeing it, Fan Jinyou was quite satisfied. They were all high-quality mutton-fat white jade.
Even though it cost a lot of supplies, Fan Jinyou still thought it was worth it.
As for the owner of the thing, he will definitely be very satisfied with this exchange with Fan Jin.
These few small items, it is important to have face.
Being willing to take out these things for the sake of a table shows that you have more and better things in your hands.
This thing cannot be said to be precious now. Jade is not very valuable. What is valuable is that this thing came from the palace and has good craftsmanship.
When he saw this thing for the first time, Fan Jinyou arranged the future whereabouts of these objects.
There is only one woman in the family, so naturally it was given to Chen Xueru.
Two jade pendants, I have two sons, one for each, and Fan Jinyou can keep them for himself.
This is just Fan Jinyou's instinctive reaction when he sees the things. In fact, these things can only be used for collection and cannot be given away now.
