Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Xu Huizhen said, "Aren't there any risks in the seafood we traded before? Risk and profit are directly proportional. Mr. Pian has been in the capital for so many years, he has eight hundred tricks, and it won't be difficult for him to get some food. Besides, we only do big things occasionally, we can't do it often. There shouldn't be any problem."

Cai Quanwu nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Huizhen continued, "Let Qian Jinlai handle this matter and contact Pian Ye. Neither you nor I should be involved. Qian Jinlai has no job and has free time. He will be responsible for buying food in the Northeast. I will be responsible for transportation, and you will be responsible for coordination. We will share the profits equally. How do you think?"

Cai Quanwu said, "I will go find Qian Jin tomorrow, and let them discuss it before Pian Ye leaves. In principle, Pian Ye will collect the grain, and after it is collected, Qian Jin will take the money to hand it over. Then you can arrange for someone to transport it back. It will be easy after he comes back. I have nothing to do with this, right? Isn't it too much for me to take 30% of the profit?"

Xu Huizhen: "I can't contact Qian Jinlai directly. You have to make Qian Jinlai feel that the person behind you is very powerful and can transport food thousands of miles away. He can't afford to offend. Make him feel in awe, do you understand? You can't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. I believe in you. We are relatives for such a long time, and I believe in you."

Cai Quanwu nodded and said, "Then I will take a smaller share of the profits."

Xu Huizhen: "I'll take one third, and the rest can be divided between the two of you. In addition, there are also fees for transportation, so you should explain this to Qian Jin in advance."

Before the Spring Festival, Qian Jin came in and used the food to exchange for a lot of old items for Xu Huizhen. They were dazzling, fancy and varied.

There are famous calligraphy and paintings. Modern ones include Mr. Daqian and Mr. Xu Beihong. Xu Huizhen is very familiar with these people. Their calligraphy and paintings became very famous in later generations, and everyone on earth knows them.

As for the authors of ancient calligraphy and paintings, some of Xu Huizhen's names sound familiar to me, but most of them are unclear, incomprehensible, and unknown to me. Please forgive her ignorance.

There is only one painting, signed by Zheng Banqiao. She is familiar with it, and everyone is familiar with it, but she doesn't know if it is authentic. If it is authentic, it will be worth tens of millions in forty years. Xu Huizhen remembers that Zheng Banqiao's "Picture of Bamboo, Rocks, Orchids and Cymbidiums" was sold at a sky-high price of 4600 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong in later generations.

There are gold bars, golden and shiny. They look festive, and yellow and white things are said to be tacky, but we all like them.

There are fancy jewelry, such as pearl necklaces, jade bracelets, white jade hairpins, gold and jade Ruyi necklaces, lifelike jade Guanyin, a whole set of jasper jewelry, etc. Xu Huizhen only has a certain appreciation of jade for these things.

In the previous life, after people's living standards improved, it was very popular to wear gold and jade. Female comrades with better economic conditions had several jade articles, bracelets or necklaces, pendants, etc. However, Xu Huizhen did not like gold, but had a special liking for jade, and she also mastered some superficial identification techniques.

From her perspective, the jades she received were all of good quality, better than those she bought in her previous life. Of course, the inferior ones could not be passed down from generation to generation. There were many glass-type ones among them, which Xu Hui really loved.

There are also finely carved old furniture, all made of good wood. In the original plot, Xu Huizhen also loved collecting old furniture. Later, when she was doing business with Vladimir, she lost everything. She mortgaged all her collections, took the money from the mortgage, and started a new business. She turned defeat into victory and made a lot of money.

But now is not the time to collect old furniture.

Xu Huizhen asked Cai Quanwu to tell Qian to come in and not to take in furniture that was too big, as it was too eye-catching and took up space, and she had no place to put it.

Xu Huizhen was not worried about receiving fakes. These things were cheap now, but they would be cheap in a few decades. To put it bluntly, if one out of ten was genuine, she would not lose money. Moreover, she did not have any cost, as all the money was earned from the food produced in the space.

After tasting the sweetness, Xu Huizhen wanted to continue collecting antiques. So she wanted to join hands with Pianerye to resell grain and exchange grain for antiques, which was not too cost-effective.

These things were lost among the people, and when the storm came, they might be destroyed. I just wanted to make a contribution to protecting the cultural relics. With the cheating device of space, it was not difficult for her.

After returning home in the evening, Xu Huizhen told Xu Jianshe and his wife that Pianerye wanted to sell the house.

Hu Yingzi said anxiously: "Sister, are you going to chase us away? I'm not going anywhere. It's good to live here. I have enough food and clothes, and we can take care of each other."

Xu Huizhen: "Are you stupid? Can you live here forever? In a few years, you will have a lot of children. In a few years, the children will get married. Will the house be big enough for them? Besides, the housing conditions in Beijing are getting tighter and tighter. Many families live in one house. In a few years, you won't be able to buy a house. This house is very close to here. I also want to make it easier for you to take care of each other in the future."

Hu Yingzi heard this and said shyly, "We haven't saved much money, not enough to buy a house."

Xu Huizhen: "One way is that I buy the house and lend it to you to live in, but if I need to use the house in the future, you have to vacate it immediately. Another way is that you buy the house, and if you don't have enough money, I will lend it to you, and you can pay it back slowly every month after your salary is paid. You two can discuss it."

Hu Yingzi said with a smile: "Sister Huizhen, you are so kind to us. Let's go and look at the house first, and then we'll talk."

Xu Huizhen nodded and said, "No matter how much money he offers, we have to buy this house. There is no more suitable house nearby. We can get a lower price if we can, but forget it if we can't. Don't worry about not having enough money. Also, we have to take his old furniture as well. They will be very valuable in the future."

Hu Yingzi flattered her, "Sister Huizhen, I see that you know everything. In our countryside, we call people like you a know-it-all. In the local dialect, we call them white shit buckets."

Xu Hui was so angry that she wanted to find a fire poker to beat her again. She looked around but couldn't find one. She said unhappily, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Go now."

So, under the leadership of Cai Quanwu, the three of them came to Pian Ye's house. When Hu Yingzi saw the wide gate, her mouth opened wide, it was too luxurious, even more luxurious than the landlords in the old society.

After knocking on the door, they were greeted by Pian'erye's wife, who briefly introduced the house.

This house is the ancestral property of Pianye's family. It is divided into two courtyards, front and back. There is a door between the front and back courtyards, which will be blocked in the future. What we are selling now is the front courtyard. There is no south in the front courtyard. It has five large and bright northern rooms, plus three east and west wing rooms.

Xu Jianshe and Hu Yingzi looked left and right, their eyes were not enough. The main reason was that the house was too good, with exquisite materials and fine workmanship. It looked very high-end. They never dreamed that they could live in such a house.

He looked like a complete stranger in the world, like a rookie entering the city.
