Chapter 20 [Mahogany Taishi Chair in Late Qing Dynasty]

Tuesday.

After eating soy milk and fried dough sticks, I opened the notebook that recorded various stories of picking up bargains within a year and sorted them out in chronological order. If I remember correctly, the jadeite gambling stone in Panjiayuan should have officially opened tomorrow morning, and I can't be idle today. I am going to go to Mentougou for a walk. After all, the more money, the more you have, and the information on the wool material is limited. I can't guarantee whether I can successfully get the ice jade for 26,000 yuan.

Holding a jade collection book written by Yan Wanru in his left hand, and rubbing the pair of duck-headed walnuts with a similarity of more than 80% with my right hand. I walked in the subway station and prepared to take the subway first and then transfer to the bus.

The phone rings.

"Hey, hello."

"Gu Jing, I, Jiang Yan, are you free now? I am planning to organize a few guys from our school collection association to go to Panjiayuan. Are you going?"

I walked forward with a book in my armpit and used a card to brush it on the toller, "I'll forget it, I'm about to go to Mentougou."

"Hey, why are you going there all the way?"

"I want to go and dig out the old house and see what valuable furniture is there."

"Oh, why don't you call me such a good thing?" Jiang Yan shouted from the other end of the phone: "I'll go too! I'll go too!"

"Uh, aren't you going to organize a club event?"

"I am the first one to call you, and they haven't notified you yet. Hehe, don't worry, Pan Jiayuan will talk about it tomorrow. Where are you with now? I'll go find you."

The source of this news was two months later. I remember very clearly that before school started that day, I returned to the dormitory in advance with my luggage. When it was almost lunch time, Kurazi also came to the school and told me that he heard from several basketball players in the playground that Shen Zi'an from the Economic and Management Institute collected two late Qing Dynasty mahogany chairs from the east of Heishan Park, making a lot of money. At that time, Kurazi, Sun Xiaolei was still envious.

In front of Mentougou Heishan Park.

I found that Jiang Yan had arrived. She changed into a slight hairstyle and dressed in a plaid skirt and a suspender shirt. She looked very fashionable. She was leaning against the side of a black Audi A6, eating cute multi-cylinder ice cream. When she saw me coming, she bent down and said something to the car. Immediately, Audi started the engine and slowly left.

I said, "Driving?"

"My dad driver asked me to catch the coolie, hehe." Jiang Yan took out a chocolate bar from her bag and held it in her mouth, "Tell me, where can we go to visit the old house? Hello, I think the rustic here is not like a treasure?" Mentougou is a suburb, and its prosperity is naturally incomparable to the city.

"I don't know, just go there."

I took her aimlessly around the east side of Heishan Park. This is a large bungalow area. At first glance, there are at least hundreds of residents. The courtyard and the courtyard are close together, and it is easy to get lost and cannot distinguish between the east, south, west and north.

It's not a big deal to continue looking for this.

After that, I can’t knock on the door from house to house, and ask them if they have Ming and Qing furniture, right?

I discussed with Jiang Yan, and then entered the Heishan Park from the back door of a small black sculpture, sat down in the pavilion next to a hundred-year-old cypress, and asked many old men and women about the old furniture. It was almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and we didn't ask anything.

Jiang Yan wiped the fragrant sweat with panting: "We are raw faces. Even if anyone has old furniture, they will only not tell us."

Seeing that her face was exhausted, I advised, "Why don't you go home first."

"What about you?"

"I want to go around alone."

Jiang Yan squinted my eyes: "I want to go together, what's going on when I go back alone? Well, just go around, wait, I'll call two dishes, fill my stomach first." She is very righteous and insists on accompanying me, but she doesn't want to leave any walk, so she leans against the pavilion and checks the phone with her mobile phone GPRS online, and then calls a nearby restaurant.

She spent money uncontrollably and had a bit of a big deal.

Four dishes, the plates are exquisite and exquisite, and they are obviously not something that can be made in a small restaurant. Once you check out, you can get one thousand three hundred and seventy-eight!

The waiter who delivered the food looked strange. He probably had never seen anyone who ordered food from the park pavilion.

It's so expensive? Although each box of vegetables is not large, the two of them can't eat it either. I was secretly shocked. Just as I was about to pay, Jiang Yan had already handed over the money first. I argued with her, but she turned around and glared at me: "Tell you! What I annoyed most is that others are polite to me! You want to treat me as a friend! Then take the money back! Otherwise I would be anxious!"

Jiang Yan's riot attracted a lot of attention.

After we finished our meal, an old man named Ma who had just talked to me slowly came over: "Young man, are you going to college?"

"I'm sophomore this year." Jiang Yan was squatting in the lawn outside the pavilion, teasing a stray cat with leftovers.

"My grandson is almost as big as you. Well, it's rare for young people to collect furniture all over the world. Haha, do you want to collect huanghuali or red sandalwood?"

I nodded: "Old mahogany is OK, do you know who wants to sell it?"

"I don't know." Grandpa Ma suddenly saw the pair of duck heads in my hand, and his eyes lit up: "What a good walnut, duckbill?"

I nodded, and saw that he was interested, so I handed him the walnut.

Grandpa Ma liked them quite liked, "Okay, the patterns are basically the same, and the bases can be put together. Well, it's quite rare, it's a lot of money, right?"

“Not much.”

An old man opposite me smiled and said, "Little classmate, you don't know. Lao Ma has been playing with walnuts all his life."

Grandpa Ma laughed: "Yes, this is just such a hobby. Well, my family has a chicken-mouthed beak, but there are only a pair of duck-mouthed beaks. How about it? Let's give it to the old man at a price?"

I shook my head without thinking: "What money is not worth? If you like it, I will give it to you."

Grandpa Ma was a little stunned: "Why are you so embarrassed? No, no."

"It's not worth much, just take it and play with it." Compared with cloned walnuts, the duck head is just a drop in the bucket, and it's just a gift, so it's nothing to worry about.

Many old men and women around him cheered and joked, "This is wrong. Is it not just for old horses to send us?"

"Yes, we are jealous."

I laughed and said, "I still have a lot of duck heads there, but they don't look good with this couple. If you don't dislike me, I'll bring it to you another day and choose whatever you want."

"Don't you want money?"

"Don't let me down, it's all gadgets, what money do you want?"
