While He Yusheng, He Yushui, and Lou Xiao'e were chatting, He Yuzhu had already cooked the chicken soup. The rich fragrance filled the entire room.
"Big Brother, your cooking skills have improved a lot during this period of time.”He Yusheng said.
"I've been cooking for your sister-in-law every day.”He Yuzhu smiled. Ever since Lou Xiao'e got pregnant, he had been making delicious food for her every day.
"There's so much chicken soup. We can't finish it. Send a bowl to the Deaf Old Lady.”He Yusheng said.
"Alright, I'll get a bowl. You can send it to the old lady.”He Yuzhu nodded and handed a bowl of chicken soup to He Yusheng.
He Yusheng carried the chicken soup and walked to the backyard.
Opposite, Qin Huairu's house.
Jia Zhangshi and the stick were almost drooling as they smelled the fragrance of the chicken soup.
"Grandma, I want to drink chicken soup." the meme said.
"Damned Silly Zhu, the chicken soup is so fragrant. Why didn't you send a bowl over to my house?”Jia Zhangshi scolded with a cold face.
"Mom, things are different now. Now that Silly Zhu has married a wife, he definitely won't help our family like before. Don't talk nonsense. If you offend Silly Zhu, he won't even bring leftovers for our family.”Qin Huairu said.
"The children's nutrition can't keep up with those leftovers. Go and find Qin Jingru. Xu Damao came back from the countryside two days ago and brought back two chickens.”Jia Zhangshi said.
"Mom, it's not like you don't know what kind of person Xu Damao is. If Jingru dares to give the chicken to our family, Xu Damao will divorce her. At that time, Jingru won't be able to secretly help our family.”Qin Huairu said.
"Qin Jingru is an ingrate. If it weren't for us, she wouldn't have married Xu Damao.”Jia Zhangshi said angrily.
"Grandma, look, He Yusheng came out with chicken soup.”the meme suddenly said.
Jia Zhang-shi looked out of the window, her eyes suddenly lit up, but the light immediately dimmed, her face darkened as she scolded,"That old woman is about to die. Why would she give him chicken soup? It would be better to give it to my family.”
"Mom, I want chicken soup too." Little Dang said pitifully.
"Be good, Little Dang. I'll buy it for you when I get my salary.”Qin Huairu consoled.
He Yusheng came to the backyard with the chicken soup and saw the Deaf Old Lady basking in the sun.
"Old Madam, I brought you chicken soup.”He Yusheng laughed.
" Chicken soup. I like it." The old lady smiled happily.
"I'll feed you." He Yusheng scooped up the chicken soup with a spoon, blew on it with his mouth, and handed it to the Deaf Old Lady.
"Delicious." The Deaf Old Lady smiled until her face was full of wrinkles.
The bowl of chicken soup was quickly finished. He Yusheng was about to go back when the Deaf Old Lady stopped him."Yusheng, go to the room and take out the box under the bed.”
He Yusheng didn't understand what the Deaf Old Lady wanted to do, but he still did as she said.
He entered the room and searched under the bed. He found a small box and took it out. He Yusheng's eyes lit up."Ming Dynasty, yellow rosewood."
"I didn't expect the old lady to have such a good thing.”
He Yusheng did not open it. He carried the box to the courtyard and handed it to the Deaf Old Lady.
The Deaf Old Lady slowly opened the box. He Yusheng took a look and saw that there were some food stamps inside. It was obvious that the old lady had not used them up.
"My good grandson, carry Madam out for a while.”the old lady said.
"Old lady, you're not going to exchange these food stamps for money, are you?”He Yusheng guessed what the Deaf Old Lady wanted to do. In the original novel, she had asked He Yuzhu to do such a thing behind her back.
"I don't need these food stamps.”the Deaf Old Lady said.
"Old lady, don't go out. I just happen to need these food stamps.”He Yusheng said.
"You really want it?" The Deaf Old Lady asked.
"Yes." He Yusheng nodded and said,"Your box is an old item. I like it too. Why don't you name a price?”
"I don't have much use for this box. If you like it, I'll give it to you.”the Deaf Old Lady said.
"Old lady, I won't hide it from you. This box is made of yellow rosewood. It looks like it's from the Ming Dynasty.”He Yusheng said.
If the box belonged to someone else, He Yusheng would definitely not tell the truth. However, the box belonged to the deaf old lady, and he did not want to lie to her.
"You're a good child. This box is Madam's dowry. Of course, Madam knows its origin, but this thing isn't worth much in this era. Just take it directly. In the future, just give Madam a few bowls of chicken soup to drink. Madam likes it.”The Deaf Old Lady smiled in relief.
This box was indeed not very valuable in this era. Unless it was sold to those who liked to collect, it was not much different from an ordinary box.
"I'll definitely send it to you often in the future.”He Yusheng smiled. Since the old lady had said so, he did not refuse. Moreover, at the old lady's age, it was useless to ask for too much money. It might even bring danger.
In the future, he would just have to show more respect to the old lady.
"Old Madam, let me count these votes for you.”He Yusheng said.
"There's no need to count. There's a total of 48 catties of food stamps.”The Deaf Old Lady said. She knew these things well.
Now that they were privately using food stamps to pay back the money, there was a unified price of two cents per catty of food stamps.
"Forty-eight catties. That's 9.6 yuan in total. I'll give you ten yuan.”He Yusheng said and directly took out a large piece of paper and handed it to the Deaf old lady.
"Good child, if Madam has food stamps in the future, she will ask you to exchange them.”The Deaf Old Lady laughed.
He Yusheng sorted out the food stamps. He couldn't afford to use the Ming Dynasty's yellow rosewood boxes to store the food stamps.
"Eh?"
He Yusheng was surprised. Among the many food stamps, there were three stamps. These three stamps were a set. In the middle of the stamp was a five-clawed coiled dragon, which was set off by the clouds and waves.
However, the color and face value of the three stamps were different. The face value was calculated in silver. One cent of silver was green, three cents of silver was red, and five cents of silver was yellow.
After He Yusheng saw it clearly, his breathing quickened.
This was a set of stamps issued by the Qing Dynasty in 1878. The three stamps were a complete set. It was the first set of stamps in China, called the Great Dragon Stamp.
In the future, a complete set of dragon stamps was auctioned for a sky-high price of more than 50 million yuan.
"Old Madam, these stamps?" He Yusheng asked.
"This is a stamp I got when I was young. I can't use it anymore and I haven't been able to bear to throw it away. If you want it, you can take it as well.”the Deaf Old Lady said.
"Old Madam, I won't stand on ceremony then.”He Yusheng laughed.
In this era, there were many people who valued antiques, but not many people valued stamps. Even if there were people who collected them, it was purely because of their hobbies.
"Looks like I have another task in the future. Collecting stamps.”He Yusheng thought to himself.
Before he transmigrated, he only had a superficial understanding of stamps. He only knew a few very famous stamps, such as the Blue Army Stamp, the Mei Lanfang Stamp, the National Red Mountain and River Stamp, the Monkey Stamp, and so on.
"Many stamps haven't been released yet. If I want to collect them, I can just buy them when the time comes.”He Yusheng thought to himself that he only needed to spend some effort to collect the stamps that had already been issued.
The stamps that had been issued were not that old, so it was not particularly difficult to collect them.
