When he arrived at the Space Pawn Shop, Xu Jianguo first checked the notice board and found that there was quite a lot of barter information on the notice board that he had not paid attention to for a long time.
Unknown metal in exchange for a century-old Ganoderma lucidum
Dalbergia odorifera tables and chairs in exchange for a hundred dou of fine grain
Ten thousand taels of gold for a piece of hundred-year-old wild ginseng
…
Xu Jianguo looked at the information on the notice board, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he thought to himself that this really happened.
I didn’t expect that the Space Pawnshop, which I hadn’t paid attention to for a long time, actually had a lot of good things.
After thinking about it, Xu Jianguo called Fu Bo and asked him to prepare food. He planned to replace the set of Dalbergia odorifera tables and chairs. One dou is 12.5 jin according to the current weight, and one hundred dou is 1,250 jin.
Speaking of this, some people may not know what material this Dalbergia odorifera is. In fact, it refers to the huanghuali wood from Qiongzhou, Longxia Kingdom, but Dalbergia odorifera is its scientific name.
For Xu Jianguo now, this amount of food is no different from picking it up for free. However, the notice board does not clearly indicate the condition of the tables and chairs, so he will have to ask first. If they are too old or damaged, he cannot take them.
After Fu Bo left, Xu Jianguo went to the medicine garden in person and picked a wild ginseng that was a hundred years old.
As for exchanging Ganoderma lucidum for unknown metal, Xu Jianguo thought about it and decided to give up. After all, it would be useless for him to have a material that even the system space pawnshop could not detect.
While waiting for Fu Bo, Xu Jianguo was not idle. He first walked into the pawnshop and filled out his request to exchange for the Two Realm Stones on the exchange form. Of course, he did not fill in what he wanted to exchange, because the system suggested that he see what the other party needed before making a decision.
After completing the demand form for the two boundary stones, Xu Jianguo filled out an inquiry form and asked about the details of the huanghuali tables and chairs.
Not long after he put the list into the window, a receipt came out. Xu Jianguo picked it up and took a look, and found that it contained the basic information about the Huanghuali tables and chairs.
A table and four chairs, made from a 324-year-old Dalbergia odorifera tree, in 90% pristine condition...
"Okay, okay! The tree is more than three hundred years old, which is not a short time. This deal is worth it!" Xu Jianguo muttered in a low voice.
After confirming the situation of the huanghuali wood, Xu Jianguo decisively submitted two barter orders, one for huanghuali tables and chairs, and the other for ten thousand taels of gold.
After a while, the document is sent back and passed the review, and the barter can begin.
Before Fu Bo came back, Xu Jianguo put the hundred-year-old wild ginseng together with the inspection documents into the window.
A few seconds later, the system's notification sounded in his mind: "Ding, the exchange has been completed. Ten thousand taels of gold have been deposited into the warehouse. Please check it yourself."
Xu Jianguo nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this was a small goal achieved.
In ancient times, 1 jin was equal to 16 liang, which means that 10,000 liang of gold is equivalent to 625 jin. If calculated according to the later price of 300-500 yuan per gram, it is worth at least 93.75 million and at most 150 million. Any calculation is appropriate.
After waiting for a while, Uncle Fu drove a truck to bring the food over.
After the master and servant moved the food into the pawnshop, they received a system notification shortly after: "Ding, the exchange has been completed. The Dalbergia odorifera tables and chairs have been stored in the warehouse. Please check them yourself."
Ever since Xu Jianguo upgraded his yard into a three-in-one courtyard, he converted the original warehouse into the basement of his current study.
When he came to the basement and saw the almost new set of Huanghuali tables and chairs, he immediately grinned.
After looking at the tables and chairs, Xu Jianguo looked at the ten thousand taels of gold piled on the ground not far away. His first feeling was that it was too little, far from the ten thousand taels of gold he had imagined.
In fact, it is not his fault. Anyone would think that ten thousand taels of gold is a lot. In addition, he had seen too much gold when he made zero-yuan purchases in Japan before. In comparison, there was inevitably a gap.
This batch of gold all appeared in the form of palm-sized gold ingots with complex patterns on them, but no words on them, so he couldn't tell where these gold ingots came from.
After leaving the basement, Xu Jianguo looked at the time and found that it was almost one o'clock in the morning without him realizing it.
After thinking about it, he thought that in more than an hour, the little guy would probably get up for a midnight snack. In order not to wake him up now, Xu Jianguo decided to wait a while before returning to the bedroom.
He went to the bathroom to wash up first, and then returned to the study again.
It is now the end of November 1962. According to his memories of his previous life, the war in the west should have ended by now. After all, he has been out for more than ten days and does not know what the current situation at the research institute is.
However, he did not receive any telegrams from the troops, so he thought there should be no problem. After all, all the necessary equipment was equipped. Not to mention crushing the Indians, at least there should be good protection against combat losses.
Taking out paper and pen from the drawer, Xu Jianguo began to write and draw. He had previously considered some plans for what to do after the troops were transferred to the Northeast, and basically he had covered everything.
Once the war in the west is over, he should consider his next research project.
He doesn't plan to consider weapons for the time being. After all, the country has no money now, and large-scale replacement of equipment is unlikely.
If he had to design a weapon, he might choose to use his brain in the field of submachine guns. After all, the Type 81 rifle is still too simple and has a slow rate of fire. In some special occasions, it is not as convenient as a short, compact and fast-firing submachine gun.
In addition to submachine guns, Xu Jianguo may consider moving towards auxiliary equipment in the future. Military watches, radio instant messaging, flash bombs, tear gas bombs, and stun bombs are all within his consideration.
Xu Jianguo stayed in the study for an hour and wrote five or six pages of manuscript paper. Suddenly, he heard a faint baby crying and knew that the little guy Wenwen had woken up.
After putting away the manuscript paper, Xu Jianguo returned to the bedroom. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Wen Sitian already feeding the little one with sleepy eyes.
Seeing Xu Jianguo coming back, Wen Sitian asked, "Why are you so late?"
"I wrote something. I was afraid of waking you up when I came back, so I sat in the study for a while, waiting for the brat to wake up on his own."
"You, come back directly next time when you're done. If the child cries, you can just comfort him. Lie down quickly."
"Okay!" Xu Jianguo agreed with a smile, then took off his clothes, looked at Wenwen who was breastfeeding with her eyes closed, and then lay down on the bed.
After Wen Sitian coaxed the little one back to sleep, Xu Jianguo turned off the desk lamp, and the couple fell asleep in each other's arms.
At six o'clock the next morning, Xu Jianguo opened his eyes early under the influence of his hateful biological clock.
Looking at Wen Sitian and Wenwen beside him, Xu Jianguo did not get up early to exercise for the first time and chose to continue sleeping.
Two hours later, a loud cry woke the couple up. They looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
