He Qing keenly sensed that the opportunity had come.
Although he had searched many old houses in his previous life, there weren't many that were truly the landlord's house.
According to the words of the old senior, this kind of thing usually wouldn't fail.
Moreover, Director Li had brought him here, and these villagers still had to ask for his help.
"I must seize this opportunity."
He Qing thought excitedly as she followed her fellow countryman into the house.
However, what disappointed him was that although Old Chen's ancestors were generous, they said that they had the foundation of a capitalist and a big landlord.
But now that they had entered a new era, after a few rounds of inspection, there was nothing left.
He Qing looked at the hundreds of silver coins in the coarse cloth bag and could not help but feel disappointed.
These silver coins were buried underground previously. According to Old Chen, they had only been dug up in the past two years. Otherwise, they would have been gone.
He Qing waved his hand. He Qing wasn't interested in these things.
Seeing that He Qing wasn't interested, Elder Chen brought him around to take a look.
Although Director Li was a slippery person, these villagers were still more practical.
He brought He Qing to look around.
He Qing came and went to take a closer look and realized that there was nothing here that caught his eye.
However, he did find a few hand-woven cotton belts in the boxes in the old storeroom behind the courtyard.
This hand-woven cotton belt was a feature of the Republic of China and even the Braids Country.
The so-called cotton belt was because he didn't have a belt before.
When going out, the trousers should be tied with a belt or cotton thread of various colors.
There were relatively few in the north. If it was in the southwest, it could be said that every household had this thing.
"Are you from the southwest?"
He Qing asked calmly.
Elder Chen nodded and sighed." Sigh, I can't help it. It's all for the sake of food. I brought my family to rely on my cousin."”
As expected.
This kind of belt could be said to be knitted by almost every woman ten years ago.
However, because of the different locations, the designs, colors, and even the thickness were very different.
The quality of the belts in the old Chen family could be considered first-class, whether it was cloth, patterns, or weaving skills.
In the future, although this thing would not be worth much and could not even be considered an antique, it could only be considered a unique old craft and a famous antique, but it had a high appreciation value.
In some places, this thing was even classified as an intangible cultural heritage.
He Qing looked at the belts because he noticed a problem when he picked them up!
These belts were too heavy!
Although these belts were made of tightly woven fabric, they were very heavy.
However, He Qing had seen many of these things in his previous life, and the moment he touched them, he noticed that there was a problem.
However, he did not make a sound. Instead, he rummaged through the box and found that there were seven or eight similar belts inside.
When no one was paying attention, He Qing cut the middle of the cotton belt.
"As expected, he hid something!"
He Qing knew what was going on, but his face remained calm.
"Old Chen, these cotton belts are very unique to your hometown. They're different from the ones in our city.”
Hearing this, Old Chen and the other villagers beside him were delighted.
These few people were still worried about why He Qing did not like the things at home.
When he saw that He Qing was actually interested in these belts that no one wanted, he was overjoyed.
Elder Chen was afraid that He Qing would go back on her word, so he said,"
"Leader He, these things have been passed down from our ancestors. You're an expert, so you know the craftsmanship, color, and texture of these things. They're all good items.”
He Qing nodded and said slowly,"
"Old Chen, this thing only depends on its characteristics. If I want it, I'll give it to some elders who study folk customs. It's useless even if I want too much of this thing.”
In this house, only Old Chen's ancestor was a landlord. There might be something good hidden in his cotton pants.
The others were all from poor families, so He Qing couldn't be bothered to look at them.
Hearing He Qing's words, Elder Chen was a little disappointed.
"Alright, but Leader He, this thing looks simple, but it's actually time-consuming to make. How about this? If you want it, I'll give you 50 catties.”
He Qing glanced at Director Li and shrugged. Then, she said to Elder Chen,
"Alright, we'll do as you say."
It was obvious what he meant. He was telling Old Chen that he was only offering this price because of Director Li.
After saying that, He Qing did not need anyone else to do anything. He picked up the cotton belt from the box and stuffed it into his own bag.
He Qing heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He was looking forward to this trip even more.
He looked around carefully and found that other than a few damaged mahogany cabinets, there were only the silver coins in the bag left to choose from.
"Let's go. There's nothing else to see here. I'll go pick a few silver coins.”
He Qing shook her head and pretended to be dissatisfied as she left the warehouse.
Chief Physician Li scratched his nose awkwardly.
When they returned to the new house, Old Chen carried the big cloth bag out again.
Touching the rust on the silver coins, He Qing looked at Elder Chen with admiration and said,"
"You guys are really capable. During the Republic of China, you were able to hide these silver coins and not use them!”
