Chapter 29: Jia Zhangshi mends shoe soles and takes a nap



"That's six dollars a piece. You have eight pieces of jade here, six hundred and eighty forty-eight. I'll give you two more dollars, fifty dollars, enough to feed you for two months."

Jia Dongsheng quoted a price again, but the middle-aged man did not respond. He was afraid that he would lose control of his temper and get beaten up by the other party, so he simply ignored Jia Dongsheng.

"I say, this isn't your first time selling antiques, is it? These days, antiques aren't worth much. There are plenty for a dollar each. If you want to sell one for a hundred, you won't be able to sell it even if you starve to death."

Although this statement may be exaggerated, it is also reasonable.

As the saying goes, gold is valuable in troubled times and antiques are valuable in prosperous times. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, antiques were worthless, let alone now. In a few years, when the Friendship Store in the old city opens, there will be plenty of antiques selling for ten yuan each.

And these are guaranteed to be authentic antiques. Paintings by Tang Bohu, bamboos by Zheng Banqiao, and horses by Xu Beihong are all priced at this price.

So, at one hundred yuan a piece, the same thing applies: there are people who will buy it, but they won’t be in the pigeon market.

"Then the price you offer is too cheap. These are all good things."

The middle-aged man was somewhat persuaded by Jia Dongsheng, but when he thought about selling his treasure for a few dollars, his heart ached.

"It can't be helped. It's hard to even get enough to eat these days, so who would want to collect antiques?"

Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "I just made some money, so I have some spare cash to buy this. Otherwise, look at this crowd of people rushing around. How many of them would buy antiques?"

As he spoke, Jia Dongsheng pointed at the crowd. These people were all walking hurriedly in one direction. It should be the place where they sold donkey meat.

The middle-aged man had just heard that someone was selling donkey meat, and he also wanted to buy some to eat. When they were still in their heyday, they really drank a lot of wine and ate a lot of meat. Thinking about it, he burst into tears.

"You can add a little more. It's too cheap. I really can't bear to buy it."

"A little more?"

Jia Dongsheng knew that the middle-aged man had been persuaded by his words. He pondered for a moment and said softly, "Eight yuan a piece, I'll give you sixty-five yuan. That's already a lot. Working in a factory, an apprentice only earns fifteen yuan a month, which is enough for four months' salary."

"Seventy, add five more, and you can take all eight for seventy."

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and looked at the crowd gathered together. He was afraid that the donkey meat would be sold out soon and became a little anxious.

This is the case with people who have been used to a good life. Even if they are down and out, they still want to eat delicious food.

"Okay, let's just be friends."

Jia Dongsheng said, "I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner. Let's get to know each other. My name is Jia Dongsheng. If you want to sell something in the future, you can come to me. I will definitely give you a good price."

"Okay, my name is Nalong. How can I find you if I need anything?"

That dragon, this is obviously a shortened name. Jia Dongsheng smiled slightly: "I come to this pigeon market every week. If you still want to sell, just wait for me here."

As he said that, he took out the money and handed it to the Dragon Queen. Then Jia Dongsheng picked up the eight jade pieces on the stall one by one and put them in his pocket, which he actually put into the space of the homestay. He would take a closer look at them when he had time. Then he also took the time to see if there was any donkey meat left.

It took me a long time to squeeze into the crowd. Fortunately, although the donkey meat was a little expensive, there was still plenty of it.

"Give me twenty pounds of donkey meat."

This voice instantly quieted the chaotic crowd around. They all stared at Jia Dongsheng, wanting to see what kind of tough guy would buy 20 kilograms of donkey meat at one time.

But Jia Dongsheng was very shameless and was not afraid of being seen at all. He urged the man selling donkey meat to weigh the meat for him.

While weighing the meat, Jia Dongsheng saw that the donkey's bones had not been sold yet. No one would buy the bones until the meat was sold.

"Please pack up the donkey bones for me and weigh them. I want them too."

Big bone soup, although beef bones and mutton bones are better, donkey bone soup is also very delicious. If you come across it, you certainly can't miss it.

"Okay."

The butcher did not hesitate and quickly packed 20 kilograms of donkey meat and 30 kilograms of donkey bones and handed them to Jia Dongsheng.

After paying the money, Jia Dongsheng carried the meat and bones and left under the gaze of everyone.

After walking a few quick steps and leaving Pigeon City, he found a deserted place, collected the meat and bones, and then headed towards Shichahai.

The ability of the B&B space is to cover the real world, and use the mind to bring anything within the coverage area into the B&B space.

So, Jia Dongsheng wanted to go to Shichahai to get some fish.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Jia Dongsheng returned to the courtyard.

Before returning, Jia Dongsheng went to the vehicle management office and had the bicycle stamped. Only then did the bicycle belong completely to Jia Dongsheng.

Otherwise, although you can still ride a bicycle without a stamp, if someone catches you, you won’t be able to explain yourself.

When entering the hospital, Jia Dongsheng came back on a bicycle.

That's right, since he bought the bicycle and had it stamped, Jia Dongsheng had no intention of hiding it. He would soon become a worker in the factory, and it wouldn't matter if he was a little more high-profile.

If someone really wants to get jealous and report something, the votes given by Li Huaide have a source and he is not afraid of investigation at all.

On the handlebars of the bicycle, there is a chicken, a fish and a piece of meat, which is very eye-catching.

"What on earth did the second son of the Jia family learn? Why is he so powerful now that he's back?"

"That's right, chicken and meat, life is so good, isn't it?"
