1942, I lived on hunting

The quality of this set of jade jewelry is very good, but the color is not up to the best level, otherwise it can be called a treasure. The owner of the goods asked for 1000 yuan and refused to bargain. Li Hao made up his mind and finally bought it.

After leaving the jewelry counter, the old man led Li Hao to the counters at the back, where cups, bowls, plates, and various jars were placed. Further in, there were pots, pans, and old furniture, which were also the targets of Li Hao and his friends.

Mr. Yu took Li Hao to check the plates and bowls in the cabinet one by one, shaking his head as he looked. These are all new goods, and the prices are cheap, so they are relatively easy to sell, so of course they have to be placed in a conspicuous place. Those old items are not easy to sell either, so they are only occasionally placed on the counter.

Seeing that there was nothing he liked, the old man took Li Hao and continued walking towards the old furniture. As soon as he entered the room, Li Hao's eyes lit up.

Old furniture of various shapes and colors were placed in several rows, and some were simply piled together, forming a very high stack.

When he asked about the price, Li Hao almost laughed out loud. A set of Huanghuali coffee table and chairs cost 18 yuan. What’s the difference between this and picking up something?

Li Hao asked Mr. Yu to help him pick out some fine products, spending more than 400 yuan. The old man said that they must have more good things in the warehouse, but Li Hao thought that this was enough, so the old man gave up.

Li Hao went out and found two cart drivers. He asked them to help pull the furniture to Chao Shou Hutong. He specifically told them to be careful when loading and unloading the furniture and not to bump or bump into anything. After checking the goods, he would pay double the fare and give them five large pancakes each. After paying 8 cents as a deposit, Li Hao didn't have to worry about anything. The two cart drivers happily loaded the goods, and their movements were so gentle.

The staff of the trust store saw how the rich spend money. The two masters had spent more than 1700 yuan in less than three hours after entering the store, without blinking an eye. According to the current price, the two spent the price of a small courtyard. Having money is not enough. When the young man took out his ID to register, everyone took a look and realized that he was in a high position at such a young age. No wonder he was so rich.

With beauty, money and power, the two young lesbians were so excited that they had stars in their eyes.

But the Li Hao of today is not the Li Hao of later generations, who looks down on such vulgar women. It is quite possible to think that in later generations, those who pierced their eyelids with a knife thought they were the blind date candidates of fairies, but they were disgusted by Li Hao, scolding him for being incompetent and poor and daring to come for a blind date, a poor loser, and wasting their time. Now that Li Hao has a better life and is awesome, he looks down on the so-called fairies who were out of his reach back then. This is really an unsolvable contradiction. I can only wish all the fairies who have had blind dates with Li Hao to find their ideal husbands as soon as possible!

After going out, seeing that there was still time, Li Hao simply took Mr. Yu to Liulichang Rongbaozhai. Li Hao later watched a short video saying that there were a large number of Qi Baishi's paintings here, and the cheapest time was two yuan per painting, almost free.

When I arrived at Rongbaozhai, I asked the manager and found out that it was just a rumor. Mr. Qi Baishi's paintings were indeed sold for two yuan a foot for a period of time, but later all major hotels and guesthouses of various units opened and people came to buy his paintings. Mr. Qi Baishi's paintings had already been bought.

Li Hao was very disappointed and said that he really wanted to buy some paintings by Mr. Qi Baishi, as well as those by Zhang Daqian or Xu Beihong. He wanted as many as he could and would pay a high price.

The manager looked embarrassed. It was of course a good thing that someone bought paintings, but they didn't have many paintings by the three masters that Li Hao mentioned. How could they sell them all to Li Hao?

However, since he was in business, he didn't want to disappoint his customers, so he offered to sell Li Hao a few of the fine works in his store's collection. The price was indeed not cheap, but Li Hao didn't care and happily paid without hesitation.

Li Hao originally didn't want the kind of assembly-line paintings. You know what you can buy with two yuan? Mr. Qi Baishi's paintings must not be so attentive, but the masterpieces collected by Rongbaozhai are different. Li Hao was fascinated when he unfolded it.

Li Hao first knew about this old man from his elementary school art textbooks, which also contained his representative works! However, those were blurry pictures in the mass-printed reference books, how could they compare to the masterpieces of the old man in front of him?

When talking about Mr. Qi Baishi, many people will think of his shrimps first. The shrimps painted by Mr. Qi Baishi are simple in structure, and they come alive on paper with just a few strokes. The translucent shrimps also have various expressions, are lively and lovable. It is said that when Mr. Qi Baishi was young, there was a Xingdou Pond in his hometown, which was full of grass shrimps. When he was young, Qi Baishi often played by the Xingdou Pond, and from then on he became attached to shrimps.

In fact, the old man's paintings of flowers, birds, fish, insects and landscapes are all very good. Li Hao heard that the twelve landscape scrolls of Mr. Qi Baishi in later generations sold for a very high price. When talking about the twelve landscape scrolls, the manager told Li Hao and his friends not to worry about it, as it had been collected by Mr. Qi Baishi's disciples and was not easily seen, let alone bought.

Li Hao thanked the manager and left Rongbaozhai with a bundle of paintings. It was inconvenient to ride a bicycle with paintings in his arms, so Li Hao found a cart for Old Man Yu to sit on with the paintings in his arms, and went straight home to help him take care of the furniture while he went to buy some sesame cakes.

Li Hao rode his bike for a while, and on the way back, his big bag was filled with a lot of ingredients and delicacies. There were more than a hundred large pancakes alone, all of which were exchanged from the system mall.

Riding his bike into Chao Shou Hutong, two rickshaw drivers had already unloaded the furniture into the yard. Li Hao gave them two yuan and took out the sesame seed cakes he had promised them from his bag and stuffed them in their pockets. The two were so happy that they almost smiled crookedly and thanked him repeatedly.

It was already evening, and Li Hao prepared to cook a special meal and treat the old man to a drink to thank him. The old man was also moved when he heard it. In order to treat Uncle Wu's illness and recuperate, Old Man Yu had definitely emptied his family fortune, if not all. His little grandson was so happy to eat chicken offal as if it was New Year's Day, which showed that his quality of life was definitely not very high, so where would he get the money to drink?

The stove that the Yu family uses for cooking is not good. It is just the most common coal-ball stove. It is fine for boiling water and cooking porridge, but it is too slow to use it for cooking.

The good thing is that the old man said there is no rush. We will eat when you are done. Good food is never too late.

Since the old man had said so, Li Hao was in no hurry. He asked Yu's eldest brother and sister-in-law to help him. Li Hao took out the materials from the big bag and started the performance.
