Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, which meant it could definitely be repaired.
Just for fashion items, gold coupons are needed to repair and buy them.
However, I already have 621 gold coupons, so I can repair a few watches.
Smiling at Qianzi, he asked, "Brother, are there any watches of this brand?"
In terms of its ability to maintain value, Patek Philippe will definitely rank among the top three.
Chu Xiangqian naturally preferred this brand of watches for his collection.
Soon, Chu Xiangqian had two old watches in front of him, but the price made it impossible to pick them up.
Of course, in fact, in the eyes of acne, the first watch is not picking up something, but throwing money into the water.
Although the two Patek Philippes at the back cost 94 yuan in total, at least the watch can run and be used.
If the original strap is replaced, it will look 70% to 80% new.
How could Chu Xiangqian listen to him? As long as the original watch strap is there, it will be more valuable for collection.
I bought these two watches for 94 without any hesitation.
Then, with acne looking at him like a fool, he walked over to Gong Changqing.
Old Man Gong also looked at a fool and said, "You have so much money to burn, why did you buy three watches that no one wants?"
"What do you know?" Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "It's hard to buy something you like when you have money. If I like it, can you take care of it?"
"Yes," Gong Changqing shook his head. If he encountered a piece of good porcelain, he would still want to buy it even if he didn't eat or drink it.
"I have contacted many old friends in the past few days, and I have also come to see a lot of good things. It's just that this time, while I am willing to exchange antiques for meat, I also hope that I can use gold bars and silver dollars to buy more meat with you."<
/p>
Chu Xiangqian was stunned, "It seems that you old guys also realize that the days after the Chinese New Year are likely to be more difficult."
Gong Changqing saw that he saw through it at a glance and stopped hiding it. He whispered, "We people are not in power now and have no business, but the old relationships in the past are still there.
Write letters and send telegrams to the north and ask questions in the south, and you can always collect some information.
And it’s not like there were no precedents for two or even three consecutive harvest seasons in previous years.
If you look at history books, there are more such records.
Seeing that this year is so difficult, if we don’t make more preparations, if there is still a severe drought next year, people will really starve to death.
When the time comes, what’s the point of antiques if you have gold bars hidden in your hands?”
Chu Qianqian nodded, Chinese people have always had the awareness to prepare for a rainy day, and the history of the Celestial Dynasty is a history of starvation.
Any dynasty that can have enough to eat is a prosperous age.
But in the entire history, how many times can be called prosperous?
And even in prosperous times, there are still many people who are hungry.
If you look through county annals from various places, you can always find words about great famine, disaster, and famine in a certain year.
Chu Xiangqian didn't hesitate. Anyway, more and more meat was stored in the warehouse. If safety could be guaranteed, selling some would be considered a clearance.
"How much do you want?"
Gong Changqing was stunned and asked, "How many do you have?"
Chu Xiangqian smiled, thinking that if the transaction was done outside the city, or even in the mountains, there would be no problem in terms of safety.
"500 catties of fish, 50 catties of chestnuts, and 50 catties of red dates."
After he paused for a moment, he saw that there were already 200 pheasants and 105 hares, but we cannot sell more of these things.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the hunter is, it is impossible to collect so many in a short period of time.
Of the 4 wild boars in the warehouse, 2 can be taken out. The 400-jin big pig and the 200-jin piglet are left as spares.
As for the 10 silly roe deer raised in Novice Village, Chu Xiangqian thought about it and still had no intention of selling them.
"Two wild boars weigh 380 kilograms after slaughter, and 20 pheasants and 20 hares weigh about 160 kilograms."
After Gong Changqing heard this, his breathing became heavy.
I quickly took out my abacus and started calculating.
Moreover, this guy's heart has long been toward Chu Qianqian. After all, he clearly understands that he is just a middleman.
When Chu Xiangqian is happy, he can get more meat.
"The fish in Pigeon City costs 3 cents per catty, so I'll give you 5 cents, a total of 250 yuan. Chestnuts cost 3 cents, and red dates cost 7 cents, a total of 50 yuan.
Wild boar, pheasant, and hare are all priced at 2 yuan per catty. That’s 1,080 yuan.”
Gong Changqing suppressed his excitement and waved the last bead, "The total is 1,380 yuan."
Chu nodded and said, "I will definitely not transport the things into the city. I told you about the relationship. If you want these things, go to the Xuanfu Palace outside the city at 12 o'clock tonight and wait."
Gong Changqing had no objection to this, and Xuanfu Palace was called back to Longguan.
It's about 30 miles away from Deshengmen, but it's not too far away.
He just said worriedly, "Huilongguan is not a small place, and it's dark and we can't see clearly. How can we find you?"
Chu Xiangqian said without any worry, "You don't need to look for me, my two dogs will find you."
Although Gong Changqing was still worried, 1,380 yuan seemed like a lot, but in reality he could only bring 3 gold bars tonight.
Three gold bars cost exactly 660 yuan, and the remaining 720 yuan must be offset by antiques. Otherwise, it will be difficult to do business with Chu Er next time.
Calculated based on the price of 720 points, approximately 10 treasures are needed.
After Gong Changqing had an idea, he smiled and said, "At noon, I will go to some old friends to look for good things, and I will take them to my house first.
After you return to the city tomorrow, if it's early, go to my house."
Chu nodded forward, and then his heart moved, "If there are calligraphy and paintings by Tang Bohu, Zheng Banqiao, Huizong Zhao Ji, bring them to me."
Gong Changqing's face suddenly showed an expression of embarrassment.
If several companies work together, they can easily come up with a few good calligraphy, paintings, and antiques that the owner doesn't like but that are good.
If it can be limited to three people including Tang Bohu, some companies may not be willing, or they may not have it at all.
Moreover, the calligraphy and paintings of Huizong Zhao Ji are easy to say. Most people nowadays don’t like them, but the calligraphy and paintings of Tang Bohu and Zheng Banqiao have always been scarce.
"Okay, let me ask. If there is one, I will get it for you."
Chu Xiangqian left the commission store and walked out of the city on his bicycle.
Fortunately, last time I asked Aiguo and Aimin to bring back a lot of bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets from the forest farm. More than an hour later, Chu Xiangqian arrived outside Huilong Temple.
At this time, there was only a small village around Huilongguan. Chu Qianqian did not go to that village, but sent out long-tailed tits to look around.
An hour later, after roughly checking the nearby terrain, I entered Novice Village. I kept my tits outside and stared at them.
After a long sleep, I woke up naturally. My eyes were on the long-tailed tit, and I found that it was already dark outside.
Chu Xiangqian immediately lost all thoughts of going back to the street to see off the silly roe deer.
Anyway, the reason is easy to find. I casually told Chen Huaili that I encountered a nest of hares on the mountain and took some time to get it, which delayed my return to the city.
I believe that not only would Chen Huaili not blame him, he would actually be happy because he got a few more hares.
I sat in a Novice Village restaurant and ate a roasted pheasant and roasted chestnuts.
Chu Xiangqian then thought that he might as well clean up the pheasants and hares.
Not only can rabbit skin be made into fur coats, hats and gloves, but chicken feathers can also be made into feather dusters.
Rather than taking advantage of Gong Changqing's old connections, it's better to keep them for yourself and exchange them for a little money.
Just do it as soon as you think of it, and soon, 20 pheasants and 20 hares were taken care of.
While waiting, Chu Xiangqian also repaired three Patek Philippe watches in a jewelry store.
A 2-point gold coupon was not expensive at all for Chu Xiangqian at this time.
After being repaired in the jewelry store, the three watches seemed to be brand new. Chu Xiangqian secretly said that he could no longer use the game to repair these three watches in the future.
Otherwise, decades later, if it still looks like new, it will definitely be called an imitation.
I picked an inconspicuous watch, put it on my hand and tried it on. With a smile on my face, I realized that I am a man who has a famous watch to wear.
And when you buy these three watches, two of them can tell time, so you don’t have to worry about inaccurate time.
At around 11 o'clock in the evening, the reminder of the tit came to my mind. Through the sight of the tit, I quickly discovered that Gong Changqing and his group had arrived early.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care. After all, the fish, chestnuts, and red dates in his hands were only 415 kilograms and 80 kilograms. The weight was not enough. He had to collect the fish and chestnuts that were refreshed in Xinshou Village after 12 o'clock.
Moreover, he could also take the opportunity to look carefully behind and around Gong Changqing and his group to see if there was anyone ambushing them.
Fortunately, the result is not bad.
Although the eight people were with them, they knew in their hearts that if the gangsters attacked the gangsters, they would be the only ones who would die.
After 12 o'clock, let Da Zhuang and Hong Niu go brush pheasants and hares, while I went to collect chestnuts and red dates.
Then he caught all the fish in the river east of Novice Village.
Only then did I start using bamboo baskets to carry things.
Appear in the real world with a big red girl.
He climbed up a big tree, took out his bow and arrow, and looked at the anxious Gong Changqing and others waiting at the foot of the mountain from a distance.
Chu Xiangqian directed Da Zhuang with his mind to meet Gong Changqing.
But they didn't rush to let Da Zhuang bring them over. Instead, they first placed a dozen bamboo baskets on the snow.
Gong Changqing and his group felt relieved when they saw that a dog really came to find them and others.
I just waited and waited, but no one came.
Gong Changqing was actually anxious in his heart, but he knew not to show it.
He whispered, "The dog has found us. The man must be nearby. He should be searching for any ambush around us."
After everyone heard this, they felt a little relieved.
After waiting for more than an hour for wild boar meat, the fish was almost frozen, and Chu Qianqian finally whistled.
Gong Changqing and others saw Da Zhuang, who had been sitting in front of them, and heard the whistle, got up and left.
After taking a few steps, he stopped and looked back, and he immediately understood that he was asking others to follow him.
He was busy pushing two carts and followed Da Zhuang.
After walking for a few minutes, I saw a dozen bamboo baskets placed on the ground.
Everyone took a flashlight and stepped forward to take a look. They were immediately overjoyed, but they couldn't help but feel regretful as they didn't find anyone around.
On the other hand, Gong Changqing was secretly happy because he wished Chu Xiangqian would not show up.
In order to avoid these old relationships, I put myself aside to deal with Chu Xiangqian.
Gong Changqing looked at a middle-aged man and said, "Hu Ruwen, should the gold bars be handed over to me now?"
Hu Ruwen nodded hurriedly. There were so many fish, wild boars, pheasants, and hares. At a glance, it was obvious that a group of hunters could unite to solve this problem.
If someone takes things without giving them money, just thinking about the revenge of these hunters, people like Hu Ruwen will know that the consequences will definitely be serious.
Besides, since the people behind the scenes are willing to accept gold bars or even silver dollars, they can’t just do this one transaction.
After the gold bars reached Gong Changqing's hand, another whistle came from not far away. Da Zhuang shouted twice to Gong Changqing and others, turned around and ran into the darkness.
Hu Ruwen was startled and thought to himself that it was a good thing that he didn't mess around, otherwise who knows if there was a hunter in the forest ten or eight meters away while staring at him and others, and also aiming his gun at him and others.
He shouted to several people, "No need to weigh yourself. There is no need for people to lie to us for one or two pounds.
Hurry up and load the cart and leave immediately. There is still twenty-five or six miles to go back, so as not to go back late before dawn."
After everyone thought about it, they felt that this was correct.
He hurriedly lifted the bamboo basket and put it on the cart, and finally covered it with straw.
Twos and threes push carts back to the city.
Fortunately, this group of people has no plans to go directly to the city with their belongings.
Instead, they were first placed in a courtyard outside the city and then brought into the city little by little.
In order to avoid encountering patrolmen and being picked up by them.
As long as you bring few things, even if you are caught, you can still say that you went to the countryside to find relatives in exchange for them.
No matter how bad it is, the most you can do is to be fined and the loss will not be big.
Chu Qianqian did not leave in a hurry, but entered the Novice Village again, letting Da Zhuang and Hong Niu get behind Gong Changqing and others. At the same time, there were still tits watching in the sky.
It wasn't until the group of people entered Tuchenggou, a yard near the ruins of the capital city wall of the Yuan Dynasty, that Chu Qianqian took out his bicycle and rode back.
In less than an hour, Da Zhuang and Hong Niu took the reunited Da Zhuang and Hong Niu back to Novice Village and rode directly to the streets.
When approaching the street, in an alley, I took out a silly roe deer.
He put them in a bamboo basket and tied them on the back seat of the car, then took out five hares and put them in a basket with a lid, and then walked slowly into the street.
Old man Sun's eyes lit up when he saw a basket hung on the frame of Chu's car in front of him and a bamboo basket tied to the back seat of the car.
He hurriedly walked out of the guard room and asked, "Xiao Chu, did you go into the mountains yesterday?"
"That's for sure." Chu Qianqian laughed and opened the lid of the bamboo basket first. "A 63-pound silly roe deer and five hares are enough for us to eat for two days."
Old Man Sun nodded happily, but within a few seconds he smiled and cursed, "How can you eat it in such a way? A few dozen kilograms of meat, if you eat it sparingly, it can feed more than 20 people on the street for a week."
”
Chu Qianqian shrugged nonchalantly. These days, a few lard residues in cabbage is considered a meat dish.
Eat sparingly, it will last you a week.
Chu Xiangqian simply refused to go into the street, "Uncle Sun, why don't you just put these things at your guard post first, and I'll go home and catch up on some sleep."
Old Man Sun immediately mistakenly thought that Chu Qianqian was riding his bicycle back to the city overnight.
While nodding hurriedly, he advised, "Don't walk at night next time. You are still going out for work, so you don't have to worry about anyone saying you are absent from work."
Chu Qianqian was secretly happy, "Okay, then I'll go back and take a nap, then come back to work tomorrow."
Chu Qianqian returned to the courtyard and happened to meet people in the courtyard going to work.
Everyone remembered that yesterday morning, all the meat bought at the market was 80% fat.
I instantly became enthusiastic about Chu Xiangqian’s attitude.
"Go forward, did you work overtime and only come back now?"
Several boys even took the initiative to help him carry his bicycle over the steps of the gate.
