The next morning, after breakfast, Jia Dongsheng left the tavern and went to the credit store.
Now, I have to play three-person team games every night. I have to say, it’s fun, but my kidneys can’t take it anymore.
As the saying goes, women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty. Both women were in their thirties. Jia Dongsheng said that if he had not practiced the Five Animal Frolics, he would not have been able to bear it.
Fortunately, as the house has been renovated, the three-person team game can be suspended for a few days. In the future, I only need to play some three-person team games when I improve my meals, and there should be no problem.
Today Jia Dongsheng plans to add tables, chairs, bookshelves, and antique racks to the study, and then see if he can get a set of sofas.
There were actually leather sofas in that era, but they were not something that ordinary people could use, and Jia Dongsheng did not have that kind of status.
But if you can't use a leather sofa, it's still very simple to get a set of mahogany sofas or huanghuali wood sofas.
During this period, Ming and Qing furniture was said to be valuable only in the eyes of those who knew the business. If it was said to be worthless, it was truly worthless. A set of furniture could not be exchanged for ten kilograms of rice.
There is no way. During famine years, food is the most important thing.
Therefore, many impoverished families would pack up their furniture and sell it all to credit stores. If they become rich in the future, they can buy it back. If they cannot become rich, at least they will not starve now.
Therefore, if you want to buy Ming and Qing furniture, credit stores are the best place to go.
"Hey, Brother Dong, you're here."
As soon as he walked into the door of the Credit Store, Wei Hong, who had done business with Jia Dongsheng twice, came to greet him immediately. There was no way he could do that because he had never seen anyone more generous than Jia Dongsheng when buying things in the Credit Store.
Therefore, seeing Jia Dongsheng was just like seeing a local rich man, and they were as enthusiastic as they could be.
"Wei Hong."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and greeted him, "How have things been these past few days? Have you sold a lot?"
"Alas, except for you, Brother Dong, few people come to the Credit Store to buy things." Wei Hong's face was a little bitter. There was no way. The salespersons in the Credit Store earned a lower salary than those in normal department stores.
If no one comes to buy things, Wei Hong plans to find someone and use his connections to transfer him to the department store.
Only when they meet a local tycoon like Jia Dongsheng can salesmen like them have a full meal.
"Brother Dong, what are you planning to buy today?" Wei Hong showed an expectant look.
"Well, do you have any furniture here?"
"Yes, absolutely."
Hearing this, Wei Hong was so happy that he almost jumped up. Even second-hand furniture is not cheap, and these are all big items.
"Brother Dong is still the one I have to buy things from. It's a pity that I have only met one Brother Dong in such a long time."
Wei Hong thought in his heart and continued to ask: "Brother Dong, what kind of furniture do you want? We have everything here."
"Everything?"
Jia Dongsheng liked to hear this. This time when he was buying furniture, he planned to buy more. After all, the finest huanghuali wood and small-leaf red sandalwood, such good woods, were mostly used to make furniture only during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In addition to being furniture, they were also antiques.
"I want to buy some Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture. You should have some here, right?"
"Yes, yes."
Hearing this, Wei Hong became more and more excited. Ming and Qing furniture is much more expensive than ordinary furniture. Is he going to get rich today?
"Yeah, that's good."
Jia Dongsheng nodded and said, "I only want furniture made of huanghuali and small-leaf red sandalwood. Please take me to have a look."
"Okay."
Wei Hong was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He said with a smile on his face: "Brother Dong, I'll go get a key and take you to our large warehouse. Ming and Qing furniture is not easy to sell and few people want it, so there are not many goods in the warehouse here."
"Okay, if the furniture is in good condition, I'll buy a few more pieces."
"Of course it's good. We at the credit store won't accept bad ones."
Then, Wei Hong took the key and led Jia Dongsheng out of the credit store and walked into the alley at the back.
Five minutes later, they arrived in front of a courtyard. Wei Hong said, "Brother Dong, this is the big warehouse. It used to be the courtyard of a second-rank official, but we later took it over and used it as a warehouse for our credit store. We put all the hard-to-sell and large items here."
"Brother Dong, I'll go in and see which room the huanghuali and small-leaf red sandalwood furniture is in. You can look around first."
"Go ahead."
The courtyard of a second-rank official?
Jia Dongsheng waved his hand, signaling Wei Hong to go back to work, while he began to think. This courtyard belonged to a second-rank official. A second-rank official, in today's society, could be considered a provincial governor, the head of a province. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, he was also a minister of the six ministries. The courtyard of a person of this level...
Out of curiosity, Jia Dongsheng turned on the space exploration capability of the homestay.
Of course, what he wanted to explore was not the things in the credit store's warehouse, but to see if there were any treasures buried under the courtyard of this second-grade house.
After all, whether it was the Ming and Qing Dynasties or the Republic of China, there were people willing to dig holes in the yard and bury treasures. If there were any, Jia Dongsheng could make a fortune.
Although Jia Dongsheng has the inheritance left by the old Chinese doctor, he can live peacefully in the old city for the rest of his life and have more than enough to spend. But if there are antiques, calligraphy and paintings buried underground, Jia Dongsheng cannot let these treasures remain buried forever and never see the light of day!
Those are all treasures left by our ancestors. As long as they are there, let him keep them!
In an instant, Jia Dongsheng felt that this courtyard was more than a thousand square meters. There were a lot of things in each room, but these things belonged to the country, and Jia Dongsheng was not a person who would stay in the corner of the country.
So, he didn't pay any attention and went straight to explore underground. As soon as he explored a distance of three meters deep, a smile appeared on Jia Dongsheng's lips.
Yes, there really is something underground.
There were quite a few things in the three boxes. Jia Dongsheng looked directly through the boxes and saw that they were full of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Without caring about the specific value, Jia Dongsheng directly put it into the homestay space and planned to calculate it later when he had time.
"Brother Dong, I found the room where the Huanghuali and small-leaf red sandalwood furniture are placed."
"Okay, take me there to have a look."
Jia Dongsheng followed Wei Hong with a smile on his face. There was nothing he could do. Jia Dongsheng was in a really good mood at the moment. He had gained so much right after arriving. If he could buy a satisfactory Jia family, he would be even happier.
This courtyard has three entrances, plus two side courtyards on the left and right, so it is not small.
The courtyard where the huanghuali and red sandalwood furniture was placed was in the room in the east wing. As Wei Hong pushed open the door, Jia Dongsheng walked in.
