Chapter 356 Fang Rou’s imbalance, a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!
When they saw Fang Rou and Luo Cheng, they were both surprised.
Then I thought that it was time for the educated youth to go home to visit their families. In fact, if the village had not been busy planting vegetables in greenhouses this year, the educated youth could have gone home to visit their families at the beginning of winter.
These two were pulling and tugging at each other, and seemed to be arguing, and it was a very fierce argument. Fang Rou even pushed Luo Cheng. If Luo Cheng hadn't held onto the wall, he would have been pushed down by her.
Mingdai and Gu Sinian looked at each other, found a box and crawled into it, and when they came out they were the familiar old man and old woman combination.
"Come on! Follow them and see!"
Mingdai excitedly supported Gu Sinian, who was hunched over, and walked towards the corner where Fang Rou and Luo Cheng were.
By this time it was getting dark and people started to enter the ghost market one after another.
Mingdai and the old man and woman dressed like Gu Sinian were not conspicuous among the people who were walking in one after another.
So, when the two of them passed by the quarreling people, trembling, they did not attract anyone's attention.
Luo Cheng felt a headache when he saw Fang Rou with red eyes who was stubbornly refusing to leave.
"Xiao Rou! If you are short of money, I can help you make money, but speculation is absolutely not allowed!"
Fang Rou looked at the rigid Luo Cheng and was also very angry: "You make money? We have been married for such a long time, have you made any money?!?"
Luo Cheng listened to her crying voice, and the anger that had just risen turned into helplessness: "I know you have been wronged by marrying me. Xiaorou, give me some more time. When I become a master, I will be able to make money."
Fang Rou got even angrier after hearing what he said: "Why don't you go to the police station? Why do you have to go to the agricultural technology station to learn how to repair cars? Your master is hiding something from you. When will you be able to graduate?"
Even if you become a master, what can you do with less than 30 yuan a month? ! "
Luo Cheng rubbed his brows and said, "Xiao Rou, I've explained it many times. My literary skills are not good enough for me to work as a clerk in a police station. I'm going to learn car repair. It's a technical job. I don't earn much, but it's enough to spend if I save a little."
Looking at Luo Cheng who had no ambition to make progress, Fang Rou felt that she had been cheated.
"Saving? Am I not saving enough?!
When we got married, I didn't ask for a penny of betrothal gift, but bought you a lot of things. What about you? Did you buy me a new dress? !
As for food, we haven’t had meat for such a long time. Every day we either eat cabbage or radishes. Having an egg is considered a treat!
Even so, your nephew comes to eat for free, and you still give him the eggs! We still eat cabbage and radishes! !
Why do I have to live like this? ! ! "
Luo Cheng's eyes flashed with confusion: "Xiao Rou, don't people in our village all live like this? Whose family eats meat and fish every day?"
Fang Rou's eyes flashed with jealousy: "Mingdai! We are all educated youth, we all have partners, how can Mingdai eat meat every day! In one winter, Gu Sinian knitted two new sweaters for her! What about me? I have nothing!"
Mingdai didn't expect that she would be shot while eavesdropping. She pouted speechlessly, but Gu Sinian felt very happy inside.
Luo Cheng looked at Fang Rou who was feeling wronged and sighed: "Don't be angry. When you go back to work, I'll advance you one month's salary so you can buy clothes. We can also eat meat. Xiao Rou, I will work hard. Just give me some time."
Fang Rou wiped her tears and said, "I can't wait any longer. If you can't get the money, I'll do it. Anyway, I don't want to eat boiled cabbage anymore!"
After saying that, he picked up something and walked straight towards the ghost market. Luo Cheng was anxious and angry. He didn't dare to shout and could only limp after him.
Mingdai and Gu Sinian also quickly followed, and Mingdai found something good in Fang Rou's hand!
The ghost market is hidden inside the black market. In the dim corners, there are simple small stalls, most of which are filled with fake goods, but they may also be priceless treasures in the future, such as the painting in front of Fang Rou.
Before going to the countryside, Fang Rou secretly took away a lot of things from the Fang family, intending to sell them when the economy was opened up in the future, and give them to Luo Cheng as start-up capital so that he could get a share of the cake in advance.
Now she can't wait any longer!
Being poor is really terrible. She hasn't eaten meat or worn new clothes for so long!
Since Luo Cheng can't give her the life she wants for the time being, she will do it herself!
She had not been exposed to these things in her previous life, but later she heard her family express regret. If the Fang family's things had not been lost by her gambling father, the money obtained would have been enough for the Fang family to make a comeback.
So when she was extremely short of money, she thought about selling her things in advance.
But she was still thinking that she would be the wife of the richest man in the future, so she did not choose to sell the jade and porcelain which she knew would appreciate in value in the future, but instead took out the gray scroll.
Several gray scrolls were placed on the rag. Fang Rou looked at the people coming and going with anticipation, while Luo Cheng's hair stood on end, he was extremely nervous.
Unfortunately, no one likes Fang Rou's paintings.
The ghost market during this period, like Fang Rou, preferred special metals, jade, and even porcelain. Basically no one stopped to buy things like scrolls and ancient books that required extremely high cultural literacy to appraise.
Fang Rou's face went from one of expectation to one of disappointment. Luo Cheng, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief and called Fang Rou to go home.
Just as Fang Rou was packing up the stall, an elderly couple came over arguing.
"Draw, draw! All you know is drawing. You can't even read two characters. What good drawing can you possibly know?!"
The one who was speaking was a little old lady with gray hair in the front, and following behind her was a tall old man who was timid and submissive.
It's quite funny to see such a tall man being forced to lower his head by a little old lady.
“I just know him!”
The two of them walked away from Fang Rou's stall, one in front and one behind, talking and arguing.
The old lady walked away, muttered a few words, and when she found no response, she turned around and saw the old man squatting in front of someone else's stall and starting to pick and choose!
"Oh my! You old man! If you buy it again, I will not live with you anymore!"
The old man was startled and stood up in a hurry, his eyes full of fear: "That won't do! I won't..."
Before he could finish his words, he was frightened by the fierce look in the old lady's eyes and held back his words: "I can't not buy it! I have to buy it..."
Even though his words sounded unfair, he finally took on the role and portrayed the crazy old man to perfection.
Mingdai also continued to talk, and she played the role of an old lady who was worried about money and couldn't do anything about her husband.
Sure enough, no one, whether it was Fang Rou who looked expectant, or Luo Cheng who was hesitant to speak, recognized that the old man and the old woman in front of them were acquaintances.
"My dear, believe me, this is definitely the authentic one, it belongs to everyone!"
The old lady spat softly: "When have you ever said otherwise?! When has it ever been true?!"
The old man was furious and looked at Fang Rou: "Comrade, do you think this is an authentic work?!"
Fang Rou nodded immediately: "You have good taste. You can tell at a glance that this is an authentic work. Wait a moment, I'll open it for you to have a look!"
After saying this, she carefully unfolded the scroll.
Just when I was about to open my mouth to praise the content of the painting, I suddenly stopped.
Mingdai and Gu Sinian also looked over and fell silent at the same time.
Fang Rou quickly opened the other scrolls, her heart sinking with each opening.
Finally, looking at the five paintings spread out on the stall, everyone present fell into collective contemplation.
Five identical pictures of chicks pecking at rice!
If it weren't for the fact that space treasure hunting had never gone wrong, Ming Dai would not have believed that beneath these five childish pictures, there was actually a Chinese treasure, A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains!
Mingdai could only say that the ancestors of the Fang family really tried hard to remind their descendants that there was a mystery behind the painting.
As for the descendants of the Fang family, Fang Rousi was completely unaware of this, and instead kept cursing their ancestors for being sick in their hearts.
Forgery is fine, why not imitate something else?! Why do you have to imitate the picture of a chicken pecking at rice?!
Have you ever seen a person draw such a childish picture of a chicken pecking at rice? !
And there are five identical pictures in one drawing!!
No normal person would be fooled, right?!
“The original is indeed different!!”
It really exists!!
Everyone's eyes turned to the little old man who was speaking. He was holding the scroll with great excitement.
"Boss, this is real! I guarantee that I have never seen such a realistic picture of a chicken pecking at rice!!"
Ming Dai's eyes flashed with a smile: "Come on, how many originals have you seen!?"
The old man held the scroll and argued with reason, Fang Rou also followed suit to persuade him, but Luo Cheng still had that expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Finally, Ming Dai pretended to be annoyed and pointed at the painting: "How much?!"
Fang Rou's eyes sparkled: "Five hundred per painting!"
Ming Dai: . . . . .
The little old lady didn't even turn her head, just turned around and left. Her back looked so straightforward that it seemed like she didn't even want the old man anymore.
The old man was startled, quickly put down the scroll in his hand, stood up and chased after him.
Fang Rou quickly stopped the person: "Don't leave, old lady! I'm happy to quote the price, and I'm sure you'll be happy to bargain too!"
The old man looked at the scroll on the ground reluctantly: "That's right!"
The old lady was pulled back, looking at the scroll on the ground with a gloomy face: "Let me bargain?!"
Fang Rou nodded wildly.
"50 cents!"
. . . . . .
“Four hundred and five!!”
"Why don't you just say you're an idiot! One dollar?!!"
The two of them bargained back and forth, but they had to consider that this was a ghost market and dared not make any noise. They could only bargain with distorted faces and gritted teeth.
In the end, Ming Dai won five pictures of chickens pecking rice for a total of 35 yuan!!
Fang Rou looked at Ming Dai with a pale face and fear in her eyes.
Great bargaining!
Fortunately, they were just some fake paintings. If they were real, she would cry to death!
After paying, the old man was so happy with the painting that he asked, "Do you still have this picture of a chicken pecking at rice? If you do, I want one too!"
Fang Rou's eyes lit up with a look of seeing a great enemy: "Yes, yes, yes! There are a few more, all at home!"
The old man was very happy, and Fang Rou was also very happy.
Finally, amid the old lady's mumbling, Fang Rou and Luo Cheng took the money and ran away.
The figure was walking away quickly, so he stopped Mingdai for fear that she would regret it.
After getting the things in their hands, Mingdai and Gu Sinian also came out and found a corner to enter the space.
As soon as she entered, Mingdai immediately checked the condition of the painting. After trying it, she found that the layer of paper on the top could really be torn off!
There are paintings hidden underneath the last five paintings, and they are all authentic works of masters!
Especially the biggest one!
It was the painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains that Ming Dai had been eyeing for a long time! !
Ming Dai looked at it again and again and exclaimed, "I've made a fortune!"
Gu Sinian looked at them with a smile and added, "Fang Rou said that we will meet at the same time and place tomorrow, and she will bring more paintings!"
Mingdai is even more looking forward to it!
The two people, feeling satisfied, left the place and returned to the ghost market, visiting each stall one by one.
Like Fang Rou, there are many people who can't make ends meet and come here with books and paintings to try their luck.
Mingdai used her ability to explore for treasures in space to pick and choose, and collected a lot of good things in one night.
Mainly because it’s too cheap!!
Of the things that can be circulated in the ghost market, nine out of ten are fake and only one is real. Even the scrap yard can't have 20% real and 80% fake!
So many times, people who sell things don’t know whether the things they sell are real. They basically sell them as long as they are paid. Anyway, if they don’t sell them, they will just use them to fill their pockets.
So many of them were bought at very low prices.
The two of them wandered around until the ghost market closed, and then left.
In the evening, Ming Dai admired the painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains and was overwhelmed by the majestic scenery.
Gu Sinian was particularly interested in a book on embroidery needle techniques. He held the embroidery needle here and there, and the little Mimi didn't dare to get close.
The next night, Mingdai and Gu Sinian dressed up early and went to the ghost market to wait.
After a while, Fang Rou brought Luo Cheng over, and Luo Cheng was carrying a large sack on his back.
Seeing them, Fang Rou finally put her worries to rest and walked over quickly.
She didn't waste any time, and quickly spread out the rags and poured out the contents of the sack.
Twenty scrolls and two large piles of books!
Ming Dai's eyes sparkled. The Fang family's ancestors had some things. There was not a single fake one. All the paintings were original works by masters! Even the books were a collection of various ancient books, which were very valuable for collection!
What a pity, Fang Rou is a person who doesn’t know what’s good.
Among the things left by the Fang family’s ancestors, the most valuable one is the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains!
Finally, Mingdai bought both the painting and the book for a high price of 160 yuan.
Both parties were very satisfied with the price and the transaction was completed quickly.
Mingdai and Gu Sinian quickly disappeared into the ghost market dragging the sacks.
After they came out again, the old man and the old woman were replaced by a newly married couple. They followed the excited Fang Rou and the worried Luo Cheng, picking up the spoils while watching the show and listening to Luo Cheng muttering something about not making the same mistake again.
But looking at Fang Rou's disdainful look, I knew she didn't listen.
Sure enough, when she saw second-hand watches for sale in the ghost market, she was immediately attracted. She picked and chose for a long time, intending to take them back and sell them for the difference.
Luo Cheng looked at his wife who was mumbling to herself and felt that she was so strange.
In the evening, the two of them returned home and had another fierce quarrel.
Mingdai and Gu Sinian didn't know any of this as they were busy collecting money everywhere.
First, I went to the rest center to collect the money for the sweater, and then went to the Friendship Store to check the sales of the strawberry gift boxes.
As soon as I entered, Tian Li came to greet me excitedly.
"Ming Dai! All sold out!!"
"So fast?!"
Tian Li excitedly pulled Ming Dai to the general manager's office and said, "Yes, most people who buy facial masks buy a box, and many people repurchase. We sold out 300 boxes in less than two days!"
Mingdai smiled and nodded, feeling confident about next year's orders.
By the time they left the Friendship Store, they had indeed received a large order for next year, and Tian Yongzhang even ordered an additional 1,000 pots of strawberry plants!
Just like that, Mingdai and Gus returned to Liujiawan with a large amount of orders and money.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, the two of them were eager to return home, so they did not delay and returned to Liujiawan as quickly as possible.
The captain and Secretary Liu were shocked when they found out that Mingdai and Gu Sinian had already sold next year's strawberries! !
“Is this even possible?!!”
Ming Dai smiled and nodded: "Of course, we will have to expand the planting next year, otherwise we won't be able to supply it."
Liu Dazhu immediately said that he would add the cover in the spring! !
After returning to Liujiawan, the two of them were completely free.
Just as they were preparing New Year's goods, an uninvited guest arrived in the courtyard!
