Chapter 862: Half Moon in a Moment

Why did Han Li stop to chat with these two little tricycle leaders? It was because he remembered something when he was walking around the trust store. It was a report he had read in his previous life about a reporter interviewing a collector and antique connoisseur named Ma.

He said that furniture in the 1970s was unimaginably cheap, and even in the 1980s, these antique furniture were still very cheap.

During this period, redwood could be exported to earn foreign exchange and had a certain commercial value, but it was limited to wood and well-preserved exquisite furniture. Huanghuali and red sandalwood were not allowed to be exported, foreigners could not buy them, and no Chinese bought them at all.

Those chairs, tables and various furniture with broken arms and legs that almost no one cared about were pulled back by Mr. Ma at the price of picking up junk.

Of course, others were not fools. It was very difficult to buy those truly well-preserved top-quality furniture at the price of picking up junk.

What Han Li lacked was not money, but time and eyesight. Han Li relied on the master Li Man of the trust store to help him slowly find the well-preserved top-quality furniture.

But for the furniture made of good wood with broken arms and legs, Han Li will have to rely on these tricycle riders. These people hang around in Sijiu City all year round and are familiar with the people in the trust store. They are good helpers to help him find these things.

Reason? Now the roast duck in Sijiu City is roasted with designated fruit wood, so the reason for using these hardwood furniture to make medicinal materials is also tenable.

(At this time, whether it is red sandalwood, huanghuali, mahogany, or chicken wing wood, the folks are all called hardwood, and the official is collectively called mahogany. Until today, the official still maintains the collective name of mahogany.)

When the time comes, Han Li plans to repair and splice the furniture that is not seriously damaged, or the furniture with large pieces of materials, and at least make a red sandalwood or huanghuali bed and recliner for his parents.

For those furniture that really can't be pieced together with red sandalwood and huanghuali, Han Li plans to turn them all into beads and ornaments. At that time, whether it is his family, women, children, or nephews, they all wear some, and wearing them for a long time can improve their health.

Han Li would not waste sawdust, and planned to use them to make pillows for his family that would relax muscles, invigorate blood circulation, and improve sleep.

So this would require a lot of red sandalwood, huanghuali, and other top-quality woods.

Moreover, the information between the two parties was more than 20 years apart, so there was no fear that they would intercept or discover it. If someone asked about it, it would be burned and used to make medicine. Could they still find it in the decomposition space?

Han Li chatted with two small tricycle leaders at the door of the Xidan Trust Store for a long time, and left after finalizing the approximate price. Then Han Li went to the Dongsi, Qianmen, Guang'anmen and other trust stores, and walked the same route. When he returned home, it was already dark.

The next day, Han Li's family, like every Monday, had breakfast and started to busy themselves with their own things.

Another two weeks passed quickly. During this period, Yun Yingying and the others went to school every day, and the mail room would bring back Han Li's letters if they had any.

Han Li spent most of his time practicing the control of dark energy at home in Laohudong Hutong. Unfortunately, after two weeks, Han Li's progress was still not great.

Han Li went to Yuanmingyuan for a few days and finally harvested more than 900 kilograms of earthen Tai Sui, more than 1,000 kilograms of stone Tai Sui, and more than 1,000 kilograms of water Tai Sui.

The water Tai Sui being transformed around Han Li's vast peach garden reached 2,300 kilograms, earthen Tai Sui 1,700 kilograms, and stone Tai Sui 1,500 kilograms.

However, it is not yet certain whether these Tai Sui have been used many times, and it is unknown what the mountains, water sources, and land they have transformed will look like. If they are all yellow sand, water, and hills, they are not very practical.

Last Thursday, Han Li received letters from several trust store appraisers.

Maybe he is the first person to eat this habit, and the appraisers of each trust store helped him find a lot of good furniture.

Han Li initially wanted to accept all who came. On Sunday, he bought back some well-preserved tables, altar tables, eight-immortal tables, chairs, coffee tables, incense tables, desks, painting tables, official hat chairs, bookcases, bookshelves, Luohan beds, couches, screens, hangers and many other furniture from many trust stores.

Eighty-five percent of these furniture were made of red sandalwood and huanghuali, and the rest were made of rosewood, rosewood, nanmu, ebony and beech.

Many of the furniture were originally inlaid with jade and gold, but now there are only black holes left in the original inlaid places.

But in the end, Han Li felt that he had made a lot of noise this time, even if these furniture were bought in batches from different trust stores.

The key is that Han Li did not want to make money from this, so he told the appraisal masters of these trust stores not to contact him in the future if they were not top-quality or cheap.

Although many of those who rode tricycles did not take Han Li's words to heart,

However, there were some smart people who took advantage of their frequent visits to the streets and were well-informed. They found some broken furniture this week and contacted Han Li to give it a try.

Han Li had talked with the appraisal masters so much that he had a basic ability to distinguish between different types of wood.

So when these three-wheelers came to Han Li, as long as they were not made of ordinary wood such as sycamore or elm, he would buy them all at the price of loose coal, which was one cent per kilogram more, regardless of quality.

This made these three-wheelers extremely happy. You must know that a mahogany Eight Immortals table starts at at least 50 kilograms. Those larger and heavier ones can't hold more than 100 kilograms. A desk, wardrobe, and wardrobe , the cabinets weigh more.

They get these broken pieces of furniture for almost nothing, and some even pick them up for free, so no one will refuse the extra income.

Therefore, Han Li had many people to help collect the broken furniture. That night, he broke down several of the worthless huanghuali chairs into sawdust and filled two snakeskin bags before he stopped.

After returning home, Han Li asked He Mi to sew two inner sleeves out, and fill the pillows with the sawdust for his parents first. The rest belongs to them, and the extra will be sent to his eldest sister's house and the Yun family later.

Today was another Saturday, and Han Li and the others gathered as usual and returned to Mianmian Hutong.

But today, Han Li and Yun Yingying had just entered the alley and not far away when they saw many people gathering towards one of the courtyards.

"Hello, Auntie, what happened to our alley today? Why did everyone go to Courtyard No. 42?"

"Han Li, you guys are out of school. Our Lao Jin family in No. 42 Hutong bought a TV today. We all plan to go over and have a look. After Yanjing TV changed its name to **TV's first program, many people Haven’t seen it yet.”

The TV is indeed a rare item. Han Li had seen TV tickets when he went to the black market some time ago.

But Han Li had no intention of buying that thing, otherwise their home would become the gathering place of the entire alley just like Lao Jin's home now. The TV station would not be quiet until it stopped broadcasting at ten o'clock in the evening, so he could enjoy it by himself. Peaceful life will also be disrupted.

After Han Li said hello all the way home, he discovered that his father, mother, and second sister who were relatively close to him were not at home at this moment. In this situation, they would definitely go to Lao Jin's house to join in the fun. At this time Yun Yingying said.

"Brother Li, my dad got a TV ticket to the 14 villages last week. How about I go back today and ask him to come over?"

"Don't make trouble. If you want to watch TV, I can just go find someone and ask for a ticket. What are you doing with your dad's ticket? He might have some use for that TV ticket."

"If we ask for it from someone else, don't we still have to accept the family's favor? Why don't we just use my dad's? Besides, they are not allowed to prepare a dowry for me. The four major items that used to be three turns and one ring are now in the unit. It's basically outdated.

What matters now is the refrigerator, TV, electric fan, washing machine and tape recorder. They are not allowed to help me prepare them all. If I get a TV ticket now, it can only be regarded as an advance payment, and it can also help them save money to buy a TV. Woolen cloth. "

Han Li agreed with Yun Yingying's thoughts and actions in his heart. Although he was not short of money, he was still very comfortable with the fact that his wife liked to take things from her parents' family to supplement her own family, but he still wanted to be more open-minded about this.

"Let's forget about this matter. Those TV sets that are about the size of a human head give me a headache, and I don't want to turn my home into a movie theater. Also, wasn't it published in the newspaper a few days ago that the Shanghai Stock Exchange Bian has introduced a color TV production line. If our family wants to buy one, we have to buy a large TV or a color TV. I’d better leave the 14-inch TV ticket in Dad’s hand to your brother.”

While the two were talking, Yun Jingjing was the first to come over on a bicycle, followed closely by Han Xiaomei, He Mi and Hou Yuhua.

After they washed their faces, they gathered together to cook and chat. Han Li made himself a cup of tea and sat in the yard to have a simple conversation with the crow. The two Spring City dogs lay under his feet.

These crows have been trained very well by Father Han. They can speak much more fluently now than when they followed Han Li before.

Han Li was having fun here when the voices of Mother Han and Sister Han came from outside the courtyard wall.

"I was so busy watching TV that I forgot about going home to cook. You girl won't cook at home when you come back. Why are you going to join in the fun?"

"Mom, I thought that no matter who the third sister or my brother came back, they would stay and cook when they saw no one at home, so I followed them and took a look."

"The more you talk about it, the more excited you become, right? How can you let your brother do something like cooking when we are all at home?"

"Mom, it hurts. I will pay attention next time."
