"There is indeed a happy occasion, but it is not a marriage.”
"It's good that there's a happy occasion. You want to buy a good bed and wardrobe, right? Follow me.”The trust boss did not mind and asked Yi Zhonghai to follow him.
Yi Zhonghai called Chen Anhe over.
Under the guidance of the trust boss, they arrived at the warehouse at the back.
The items in the warehouse were obviously much better than those outside.
Chen Anhe even saw a large red sandalwood drawing table with a panel width of 98 centimeters.
"Whoa, boss, you have quite a lot of good things here. This is an arhat bed, right?”Chen Anhe said in surprise.
During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the ancients used hundreds of years to gradually build beds, but they used a shelf bed for sleeping and a Luohan bed for sleeping. They were very clear and could not be messed with at all.
The emperor's throne was developed under the influence of the arhat bed, which was rare.
"Little brother is quite knowledgeable. This is a hundred treasures inlaid Arhat bed from the late Ming Dynasty.”
"An old man from the Qing Dynasty sent it to me for sale.”
The boss smiled and explained.
"I just saw it by chance. But what does this Hundred Treasure Embedding mean?”Chen Anhe asked humbly.
His knowledge of antiques was also limited. He only knew a little about antiques. He had only learned about antiques from TikTok in his previous life.
"The Hundred Treasure Emblem is made of mother-of-pearl, turquoise, coral, ivory, Shoushan stone, cinnabar, and other valuable materials. It is inlaid with various patterns. Because its inventor's surname is Zhou, it is also called the Zhou system.”
"When the Wanli Prime Minister Yan Song was ransacked, one of his crimes was that he had this kind of dragon-patterned Arhat bed embedded with hundreds of treasures. It made the dragon furious and he lost his life because of it.”
The boss did not hide anything and explained it to Chen Anhe in detail.
Seeing that Chen Anhe was eager to learn, the boss even brought him to the innermost part of the warehouse.
The innermost thing was covered by a large cloth. From the shape, it seemed to be something like a screen.
The boss lifted the cloth and revealed six screens with yellow rosewood frames and colored cores.
"The origins of these six screens are not ordinary.”
"Can you see what kind of light is drawn on the screen?”The trust boss asked.
Chen Anhe looked over and searched his mind for similar memories.
"This looks like West Lake?" Chen Anhe answered uncertainly.
"That's right. The painting on this waist is the Ten Sceneries of West Lake.”
"This is Spring Dawn at the Cavern of Su, this is Lotus Breeze in the Qu Courtyard, and this is Spring Dawn. One was the autumn moon on the calm lake, the other was the snow on the broken bridge, and the other was the snow on the broken bridge. The first one was Fish Watching in Huagang, and the last one was Willow Waves and Orioles.”
"These six screens were all made in the first year of Qianlong. There should be twelve complete screens, and I have six of them here.”
The trust boss looked at Chen Anhe proudly.
He had always loved antique furniture, and these six screens were his proudest collection.
"Amazing, today has really broadened my horizons.”Chen Anhe said in admiration.
If the antique furniture here were in the future, it would be worth at least one billion yuan.
"I see that you are also a person who knows the goods. If you have time, you can come to my place to take a look.”
"Thank you, Boss."
"You're welcome. You don't have to call me boss. Just call me Master Zhou. I just can't find anyone who can discuss it with me.”Master Zhou said with a smile.
There were many people who loved antiques in Beijing, but not many people preferred antique furniture.
Many of his friends loved porcelain and were not interested in furniture.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Master Zhou led Chen Anhe to a Luohan bed.
"This is a Ming Dynasty black lacquer firewood Arhat bed. If you want to buy a bed, I suggest you buy this one.”Master Zhou recommended.
"Ming Dynasty? It's actually in such good condition?"
"Can I still sleep?" Chen Anhe was puzzled.
"You can rest assured. As the saying goes, dry for a thousand years, wet for ten thousand years. If it's not dry or wet, it'll be half a year. When this bed came out of the waterhole, it had already been professionally dehydrated.”Master Zhou explained.
"This bed shouldn't be cheap, right?" Chen Anhe asked.
"It's indeed not cheap. I'll give you a real price. You can take it away for 130 yuan.”Master Zhou said.
"It's indeed not cheap."
Compared to the current prices, it was indeed expensive, but compared to the prices in the future, it was really the price of cabbage.
Chen Anhe had never thought of buying it. He had no money now. If he wanted to buy it, he could only ask Yi Zhonghai to pay.
He couldn't bring himself to ask for 130 yuan.
Moreover, if he bought this bed back, there would definitely be people saying that he had specially come to the city to squander his uncle's property.
"We'll buy it."
Just as Chen Anhe was about to refuse, Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said heroically.
130 yuan was indeed a little expensive, but it was not even two months 'worth of his salary.
"Uncle, there's no need. We'll just buy a cheap one.”Chen Anhe shook his head.
"No need, just this bed."
"I already told you, your uncle has money. You don't have to save me for me.”
"You don't have to worry about people gossiping behind your back. No matter if you buy expensive or cheap, these words are still inevitable.”
After living in the quad for so many years, how could he not know what kind of people his neighbors were?
When he was buying clothes and shoes for Chen Anhe, those words had already begun.
Therefore, no matter how cheap it was, there was no lack of gossip. Since that was the case, he might as well buy the best.
Let them be jealous.
Chen Anhe had the qualifications and confidence to become the target of their jealousy.
Because his uncle is me, Yi Zhonghai!
"This old brother has an extraordinary bearing. Where is he working?”Master Zhou was also shocked by Yi Zhonghai's generosity.
130 yuan was set without even blinking. He was really confident.
"I don't deserve it. I'm just a small worker in the rolling mill.”Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said humbly.
"My uncle is a grade eight worker in the rolling mill.”Chen Anhe introduced them.
"So you're a big brother of the eighth rank. No wonder you have such an extraordinary bearing.”Master Zhou said respectfully.
In this era, the workers were the big brothers, not to mention the level eight workers, who were the big brothers among the big brothers.
Mr. Zhou seemed to have a superior status. He was the boss of the trust shop, but his social status was not comparable to a grade-8 worker.
"You're welcome. We'll take this bed. Help us find a good wardrobe.”Yi Zhonghai laughed.
"No problem. I have a good wardrobe here too. You can take it away for 40 yuan.”Master Zhou said.
"Alright, including the two mahogany chairs outside, how much is the total? I'll pay you.”Yi Zhonghai took out a stack of portraits of workers and peasants from his pocket and said.
"The total is one hundred and eighty-five dollars." Master Zhou said.
Yi Zhonghai nodded and counted 19 portraits before handing them to Master Zhou.
...
There was a mistake in the previous note, which was the Great Unity. The Great Unity was the third set of currency, which was only available in 1966. Now, it was the second set. The 10 yuan was the statue of a worker!!!
