In this way, Chen Xia hired a diesel boat and called a few brothers from the same clan from the village. They loaded the rice and happily headed to other towns like a hardworking little bee.
Then boatloads of old items were brought back to the Plum Garden.
What Chen Xia couldn't bear the most was the warehouse under the jurisdiction of Yuezhou City, which was full of old items.
The logistics manager in charge of the warehouse is Qin Weimin's old comrade-in-arms. In addition, Chen Xia secretly slipped a bottle of oseltamivir into his pocket, so Chief Han had the green light all the way.
"Xiao Chen, these old items have been in this warehouse for years. Just take whatever you like. I don't know if they're real or fake. You're lucky. If you had come a few months later, this place would have been demolished and it would have been burned down."
Several villagers from Qingfeng Village were carrying 2,000 kilograms of rice to the canteen. The fat pigs were purchased by Chen Xia from the village.
At that time, I heard that it was Chen Xia who wanted to use the money, and the villagers refused to accept it, but he still stuffed the money into the villagers' hands.
"Chief Han, thank you so much for this. If you have time to come to Ke Town tomorrow, I will definitely treat you and District Chief Qin to a good meal."
Section Chief Han was thinking about the bottle of flu medicine, so he said with a smile:
"You're welcome, brother. Take your time looking for something. I'll be leaving first. Once you've made your selection, just let our logistics staff know."
The host has said so, why should Chen Xia be polite? Just act quickly.
So under Chen Xia's command, several villagers worked hard to carry boxes onto the boat.
I wouldn’t dare to say that all the antiques and curios from Yuezhou area are here, but a considerable portion of them should be here, and they were all taken away today.
Even if some of the antiques inside are fake and some are of little value, as long as one-third are genuine and as long as there are a few high-quality pieces, Chen Xia will make a fortune.
After a busy week, exhausted as a dog, Chen Xia finally emptied all the warehouses containing old items.
Chen Xia decided to take a good rest, and this rest of course meant going to work.
When he walked into the department humming a song and shaking his head and tail, he was immediately criticized by his colleagues.
Gu Lin: "Chen Xia, what have you been doing this week? Did you go to the pediatric department to see the little girl?"
Qi Jun: "Chen Xia, we were the ones who wrote all the important medical records and medical progress notes when you were away. How can you compensate us for our young and hurt hearts?"
Guo Musen: "Chen Xia, you are enjoying the good life outside, but have you ever thought about your comrades who are eating coarse food at home? Do you have any conscience?"
Ren Yuanfei: "Chen Xia, you bastard, the medical department came to check if you were at work. If I hadn't covered for you, you would have been absent from work for a week and punished."
Listening to the chattering voices around him, Chen Xia raised his hands and made a pause gesture.
"STOP, Saywhatyouwant."
Gu Lin put her hands on her hips and said, "What the hell, speak human language."
Guo Musen, who was standing nearby, translated very servilely: "He asked us what we wanted."
Ren Yuanfei held up three fingers and said, "Take us three big meals, with no less than five pieces of meat per meal, and we'll pretend this never happened."
Chen Xia retracted two of Lao Ren's fingers.
"That's it. Just one meal of meat is fine. You guys treat me like a fool. Eating so much meat every day, aren't you afraid of getting high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high uric acid?"
"Don't worry, we are a hospital and we have medicine. Employees can get discounts on medicine."
"Damn it, I surrender, YUO. You defeated me. So tonight, I'll treat you. Those who have children can bring their children, and those who don't can bring the five girls."
The infectious disease department was in jubilation.
It is said that ever since Chen Xia came, the infectious disease department has been like the New Year every day. Today they eat meat, tomorrow they eat fruit, and the day after tomorrow they eat cake. Anyway, the food changes every day.
So when Chen Xia was not around, everyone realized that he had become the indispensable person.
Or rather, Kaizi...
At noon that day, Chen Xia hurried out of the hospital after get off work.
Gu Lin was very dissatisfied. She didn't even have time to talk to him, let alone get some snacks from him.
Fortunately, Chen Xia was walking out of the hospital. If she had gone to the pediatric department, she would have bitten her to death.
At noon, Chen Xia had already made an appointment with Yu Deshui to meet at the guesthouse. The old clerk of the pawnshop whom he had helped introduce had already arrived and was sitting in a small private room in the guesthouse.
As soon as Chen Xia entered the door, he saw an old man in his sixties sitting in a seat. He was wearing very ordinary clothes and a pair of Liberation shoes on his feet that were a little worn out.
The most striking thing is that he has a long beard on his chin, which is quite rare among elderly people.
Yu Deshui introduced the old man, "Lao Ying, this is the younger brother I was talking about. He is now working in the Fourth Hospital."
The old man stood up and introduced himself without hesitation: "I am Ying Yuanyue, nice to meet you."
Ying Yuanyue is 65 years old this year. Before liberation, he was a pawnshop master at Hengyuanxing, the largest pawnshop in Yuezhou City. His main job was to identify the authenticity of items that came to be pawned and then estimate a price.
As for how much the boss charges and how much the seller sells, it is none of his business.
There's no need to dwell on the days after liberation; life was pretty tough. I had an elderly wife and two married sons who worked as helpers at the guesthouse, and our financial situation wasn't very good.
Yu Deshui's son's immediate superior asked him to help identify some old items and promised to give him a certain amount of compensation afterwards. Ying Yuanyue agreed without thinking.
He can't do physical work, but antique appraisal is his forte.
After exchanging some business praise, both parties sat down.
Chen Xia took out Yu Agou's jade bracelet, wrapped it in a thick cloth, and handed it to Ying Yuanyue.
Ying Yuanyue smiled and said, "Comrade Chen, since ancient times, treasures have never been passed around. Just put it on the table and I'll pick it up myself."
Yu Deshui became interested, "Lao Ying, what do you mean by 'not able to do it'?"
"But it's easy to understand. Antiques and cultural relics are all very valuable, especially fragile items such as porcelain and jade. When two or more people are present to appreciate them,
If an item is handed directly from one person to another and it happens to fall to the ground during the handover, is it the fault of the hander or the receiver? It’s hard to say.”
Chen Xia asked in surprise, "There are so many rules?"
Ying Yuanyue smiled and said, “This business is very complicated. For example, when others are trading, no matter whether you think it is right or wrong, you will remain silent.
For example, you can't just make a random offer. If the seller agrees to your price, you must buy it. You can't go back on your word after bargaining, etc. If you don't follow the rules, no one will do business with you in the future."
Chen Xia bowed and said, "I will teach you."
Only then did Ying Yuanyue carefully observe the bracelet in front of him.
