"Yusheng, give me some." Third Uncle said with a bitter face.
Considering that it was the first day of the new year and that Third Master really had it hard, He Yusheng nodded and said,"I'll give you half a catty of peanuts tonight.”
"Thank you." Third Uncle smiled. Half a catty of peanuts was enough for him to eat for a long time.
After breakfast, He Yusheng began to visit every house. First, it was naturally the oldest deaf old lady, followed by the three old men.
This was his first time experiencing such a thing, so he was very interested in it.
After walking around for most of the morning, he finally finished paying his New Year's greetings to everyone in the courtyard.
After the New Year's greetings, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e went straight to Lou Xiao'e's house to wish her parents a happy new year. He Yusheng also decided to wish Uncle Niu and Uncle Guan a happy new year. These two were elders worthy of his respect.
Carrying a pound of meat and two bottles of Xifeng wine, He Yusheng came to Lord Niu's house.
"Master Bull, Happy New Year. I'm here to wish you good health, a happy family, and all the best.”He Yusheng congratulated.
"I knew you'd come back. Let's have a drink today.”Lord Bull smiled happily. He Yusheng's arrival proved that he had not misjudged him.
"How can two cups be enough? At least one catty.”He Yusheng laughed.
"One catty is fine, but you have to cook two dishes. Ever since I ate the dishes you made with wine, I've become tasteless when eating other people's dishes.”Lord Bull laughed.
"No problem, I'll do it for you now.”He Yusheng laughed.
In less than ten minutes, He Yusheng had cooked two dishes that went with wine. With the Xifeng wine he brought, the two of them drank.
It was already afternoon when he left Master Niu's house. He Yusheng went straight to Master Guan's house.
"Master Guan, guess what I brought?”He Yusheng was still at the corner of the courtyard wall when he said loudly.
"Xifeng Wine, you're not bad, kid. You know how to show filial piety to your Nine Gates Admiral grandpa.”Uncle Guan smiled. He could tell what wine He Yusheng had brought with just a sniff.
"I won't say much to congratulate you. I specially came over to drink with you today.”He Yusheng laughed.
"Brother Yusheng, Xiao Guan is here to give you a New Year's greeting.”Guan Xiaoguan ran to He Yusheng's side and said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll give you a red packet." He Yusheng took out a red packet from his pocket and handed it to Guan Xiaoguan. He had really considered this before coming, so he specially prepared a red packet.
"Thank you, Brother Yusheng." Guan Xiaoguan smiled happily.
He Yusheng went to the kitchen to cook two dishes that went with wine and drank with Uncle Guan. Fortunately, after his physical fitness improved, his alcohol tolerance had also increased a lot. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to hold on drinking like this.
He Yusheng only left Uncle Guan's house when it was dark.
By the time he got home, He Yuzhu was already back, but Lou Xiao'e was not.
"Brother, why are you back alone? Where's sister-in-law?”He Yusheng asked.
"Xiao'e is staying at her mother's house. I came back to tell you that Xiao'e's parents have agreed to buy antiques.”He Yuzhu said.
"That's great." He Yusheng laughed.
The next morning, He Yusheng followed He Yuzhu to Lou Xiao'e's house. It had to be said that Lou Xiao'e's family was indeed very rich and lived in an independent small bungalow.
"Hello, Uncle and Auntie." He Yusheng said respectfully.
"You must be Yu Sheng, you are indeed a talented person.”Mother Lou said with a smile.
"Auntie, you flatter me. You're the young and beautiful one. If I didn't know beforehand, I would have thought that you were sister-in-law's sister.”He Yusheng said seriously.
"Your words are really likable. If I had another daughter, I would definitely let her marry you.”Lou's mother smiled happily. There was no woman who didn't like others to praise her for being young and beautiful, and Lou's mother was no exception.
"Yusheng's mouth is much better than yours.”Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu with a reproachful look.
"When did this kid learn to be so glib? I'll teach him a lesson when I get back.”He Yuzhu put on the dignity of a big brother, but in his heart, he wanted to go back and ask Yusheng for advice to make Lou Xiao'e happy.
"You want to teach Yusheng a lesson?" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu.
"Yusheng, I've already prepared what you want. I'll bring you over to take a look now.”Mother Lou said.
"Thank you, Auntie." He Yusheng said.
Mother Lou brought He Yusheng to a room on the second floor. There were many things in the room, including porcelain, furniture, calligraphy, and many unopened boxes.
These things were placed in a mess. Obviously, the Lou family had moved the things that they decided to sell to He Yusheng into this room.
"Take a look first. We'll discuss the price later.”Mother Lou said.
"Alright." He Yusheng nodded and began to read.
"Qianlong period official kiln ice flower bowl."
"A large blue and white jar during the Hongwu period."
……
"Qing Dynasty mahogany armchair."
"Ming Dynasty red sandalwood chest of drawers."
……
"Huang Binhong's Misty Rain Painting of Mountain Dwelling."
"Li Fangying's painting of plum blossoms."
……
He Yusheng spent two hours looking through all the antiques. Other than two fakes, the rest were authentic, and many of them were very collectible.
"Auntie, I've seen all of them. They're all good things. Just name a total price. If I can still accept it, this deal will be considered done.”He Yusheng said. There were so many things. It would be too troublesome to appraise each one.
Lou Cheng's mother nodded her head slightly. She didn't hesitate and extended a finger. It was obvious that she had already guessed the total price and discussed it in advance.
"Ten thousand?" He Yusheng asked tentatively.
Lou's mother nodded and said," If you think it's too high, we can discuss it again. After all, our families are relatives. Don't hurt our relationship because of a business deal."”
He Yusheng said," Auntie, I know the value of this batch of antiques very well. You'll definitely suffer a loss if you pay 10,000 yuan. I know you gave me a low price because we're relatives, but I can't take advantage of you. I'll add another 2,000 yuan."”
"Alright, twelve thousand it is." Mother Lou nodded.
"Auntie, I need a day to prepare so much money.”He Yusheng said. He had a total of 15,000 yuan now, all of which were in the system space. He could take them out at any time, but that was too abnormal. In this era, who would carry more than 10,000 yuan in cash?
"This is what I should do." Mrs. Lou said. Even her family needed some time to prepare more than 10,000 yuan in cash.
"Then I'll come back tomorrow and rent a tricycle to transport these things.”He Yusheng said.
"There are so many things that even a tricycle can't transport. I can help you call a car.”Mother Lou said. The cars in this era were high-end goods, and ordinary people couldn't even touch them.
"Auntie, cars are too high-profile. It's better to use a tricycle to transport it.”He Yusheng shook his head. Keeping a low profile was the way to go.
