Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.
He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...
This needle set is very nice.
It is a bit inappropriate to measure the value of this set of needles in terms of money.
Zhang Weiguo had no intention of exchanging this set of needles for money.
Now, there are not many things in Zhang Weiguo's space warehouse except a few pieces of porcelain and gold bars.
Zhang Weiguo plans to build a few shelves to store these things.
Zhang Weiguo asked who was good at carpentry.
With the introduction of Director Wang from the Street Office, a carpenter named Yang was found.
His craftsmanship is beyond doubt, and he makes furniture for many families.
Zhang Weiguo took two bottles of Erguotou and went to find Carpenter Yang.
We arrived at Carpenter Yang's house, where he was making an eight-immortal table.
Zhang Weiguo stated his needs, which was to make a few shelves, using better quality wood and without carving anything on them.
After hearing this, Carpenter Yang felt it was very simple.
So I agreed.
Zhang Weiguo said, I need it urgently, can you do it for me first, money is not a problem.
Carpenter Yang saw that Zhang Weiguo was not short of money.
I agreed. Who doesn’t want to make more money?
Carpenter Yang took Zhang Weiguo to select wood.
They are all locust trees and so on. Zhang Weiguo doesn't like this.
This wooden furniture is very durable and can be used for decades without any problems.
Zhang Weiguo found some jujube wood in the corner.
This wood is good, and the things made from it are sturdy and durable.
Carpenter Yang originally kept it to make furniture for his son and had no intention of selling it.
But Zhang Weiguo is rich.
Considering Zhang Weiguo's financial ability, Carpenter Yang agreed.
Zhang Weiguo asked Carpenter Yang to use all the wood and make a wooden box with the remaining scraps.
As for precious woods such as red sandalwood and huanghuali, they are not available here at all.
These woods are in short supply nowadays and are also removed from old furniture.
If Zhang Weiguo wanted to find such wood, he could only look for old houses.
Those old houses may be made of this wood. If you want this kind of wood, you can only demolish these old houses.
Such old houses are not easy to find.
You can't just demolish someone else's house while they're still living there.
Zhang Weiguo asked Carpenter Yang if he had such wood.
Carpenter Yang really has some, they are all leftover scraps from making furniture for wealthy families.
Zhang Weiguo bought it and asked carpenter Yang to make boxes with the wood.
Zhang Weiguo has too much fine porcelain, and more will come in the future. He wants a matching box, which requires a large amount of this kind of wood.
Moreover, there was not much wood available. It was previously used to make furniture, and very few could be made into boxes. Zhang Weiguo could only find the wood and make it himself.
Apart from these three types of wood, the worst is also old redwood.
Otherwise it would not be worthy of the status of these porcelains.
Even though it is not valued much nowadays, you can buy one for a few dollars or even a piece of official kiln porcelain for dozens of dollars.
This is because of the times. It has not yet developed and has not received attention.
If the times develop and everyone has money, the value of these things will increase exponentially.
Each piece of official kiln porcelain is worth millions.
It was difficult to buy at that time.
There are more and more bottles and cans of these being sold in the pigeon market now.
They are just supplies and cannot be eaten as food.
One good thing about this era is that there are no fakes and no one imitates products in this era.
The only problem is, you don't know what year this thing is from.
Because the Qing Dynasty also imitated things from previous dynasties.
At this time, if you buy things from the Qing Dynasty thinking they are from the Ming Dynasty, you will be at a loss.
Zhang Weiguo was strolling in the pigeon market.
There is a stall selling old items.
The goods on the stalls are very diverse, including antiques made of various materials.
Each one looks very old, and some are covered with dirt, making them look like old objects.
Among these items there was a cup, a chicken-shaped cup.
If it is a Chicken-Glazed Cup from the Chenghua period, it would be a national treasure.
The Chenghua Chicken-Glazed Cup is very famous. It was sold for 280 million yuan at a Sotheby's auction.
I was patted by a big capitalist and even had a cup of tea with him.
Don't be afraid of all the bacteria.
After so many years, I don’t know how many people have held it.
It's fine for you to use it, but it's not suitable for you to use.
Moreover, this chicken-glazed cup is used for drinking wine, not tea.
Multi-kill is a bit inappropriate.
Zhang Weiguo squatted in front of the stall and picked up the chicken-glazed cup.
This chicken-glazed cup is very small in size, with a white and delicate body, thin and transparent. There are two pairs of mother and chicks painted on the cup, separated by lake rocks, roses and orchids. The colors are appropriate in shades, giving people a simple and elegant feeling.
It is worthy of being the famous Chicken-Glazed Cup. Regardless of whether it is real or fake, the shape alone is very beautiful.
Zhang Weiguo carefully examined the Chicken-Glazed Cup, observing every detail of it.
This chicken-patterned cup is not from the Chenghua period, but an imitation from the Qing Dynasty. Although its value is not as high as that of the Chenghua period.
It is also a nice piece of porcelain, an authentic Qing Dynasty product.
Zhang Weiguo directly spent five dollars to buy it.
In the antique world, there is a rule: no matter how cheap something is.
You have to bargain, even if the last penny is not cheap, you have to bargain.
If you don't bargain and just pay, the boss will say, I'm talking about US dollars.
Are you going to buy it or not?
This is how antique trading works. You have to make the other party feel like they are getting a good deal.
It’s really hard to say who got the better deal.
You have to make others feel like they're getting a good deal.
