Chapter 92 Increase the amount at the end of the year

After leaving the ghost market, Li Weiguo thought about it and put all the items he bought into Changsu warehouse. He then went to study it slowly when he had time.

When I arrived at Lao Fu's second-level yard, Lao Fu had not arrived yet, and it was pitch black and silent all over.

Li Weiguo first walked around the yard, investigated the situation around him, and confirmed that there was no one nearby, then took out the key and opened the door and went in.

After all, it’s just speculation and not glorious. It’s possible to be targeted at any time, so it’s not too much to be careful.

Close the yard door, Li Weiguo waved his hand and released a pile of supplies directly from the space. With a "swish", a large amount of supplies appeared in the center of the yard, taking up the open space in the yard.

The supplies this time were not the amount of each week before, but were a total of 1,000 kilograms of pork, 1,000 kilograms of eggs, 1,000 duck eggs, and 3,000 kilograms of white flour, and 1,000 kilograms of mutton.

It’s the end of the year, so I have to buy more delicious food from my elders and young people. I don’t even provide stick noodles, so I just changed it to white noodles and prepared some mutton.

Anyway, the old and young people have money, and they can pay for antiques even if they don’t have money. Besides, they are used to living a good life, so they probably can’t eat stick noodles.

Soon, Old Fu came with two sons and two grandsons. When he came, the eldest and second son of the Fu family even raised a big box, which was heavy.

"Mr. Li, I'm late, please forgive me."

"It's not too late, Mr. Fu, we're always acquaintances, so you don't need to be too polite."

"Haha, you're right, Mr. Li."

He said that, the old Fu bowed respectfully, then waved to the two sons behind him, "Come on, take a look for Mr. Li."

When the eldest and second son of the Fu family heard this, they did not dare to neglect them. They quickly carried the box over and opened it.

Looking at the flashlight, the boxes were filled with old objects, all of which were dozens of them, all of which were smaller, including porcelain, snuff bottles, golden nanmu box, ivory tablets, jade pendants, chicken blood stones, etc., and there were quite a few types.

"Mr. Li, these are the old items I have collected for you recently. The list is here, please check it out." As he said that, the old Fu handed over the list in his hand.

Li Weiguo nodded and took it, and looked carefully with the light of the flashlight.

The imperial enamel-colored Western figure snuff bottle made by Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, with a purchase price of 30 yuan;

The snuff bottle of ivory carving landscape figures of Qianlong Qing Dynasty, with a purchase price of 28 yuan;

The purchase price of porcelain bowls from the Qianlong period was sixteen yuan;

The porcelain plates from the Kangxi period were purchased for thirty yuan;

A golden nanmu box covered with Qianlong's seal is purchased for 100 yuan;

.........

The Ivory Temperament (a board used by officials in ancient times to court) was purchased for 40 yuan;

Four pairs of ivory chopsticks, purchase price of 60 yuan;

Uncarved chicken blood stone seals are three parties, and the purchase price is 80 yuan per square meter;

There are six pieces of raw mutton fat jade, and the purchase price is thirty yuan;

.........

All kinds of objects were calculated, and there were 58 items in total, which were all purchased by Lao Fu with great care. Basically, the 3,000 yuan acquisition money given by Li Weiguo last time was completely consumed.

So many treasures are not ordinary, which shows the old Fu's vision. If these things have no connection or channels, they will not be easy to buy with money. Although the old and young master in the imperial capital lacks money and tickets, they will not easily take out their wealth.

Although the purchase price of these items is still a little worse than the lowest price, these treasures are undoubtedly high-quality products and can be said to be very profitable. As for the purchase price, Li Weiguo doesn't care. With his value and income, two yuan is nothing.

The key is that Lao Fu did not fool himself and did not use some valuable things to deceive himself.

Moreover, there are many high-end products in this box of treasures. The most valuable one is a set of top hats of Qing Dynasty officials with top beads, from the ninth to the first rank, a total of nine official hats, all of which are ingot-shaped warm hats, and the top beads on them are intact.

There are two types of "top wear" in the Qing Dynasty. The ones like hats are cool hats, brimmed and trumpet-like. They are flat and large in the early stages, and small and high in the later stages. They are made of vines and bamboo mats and covered with silk. They are mostly white, and there are also lake-colored, yellow, and red tassel-topped beads.

The other type is the warm hat, which is the one in front of Li Weiguo.

It is round, with a circle of brim, mostly made of leather, satin, and cloth, mostly black, with red hat weft, and a top bead at the highest point of the hat. The materials are mostly made of gems, including red, blue, white, and gold.

According to the Qing Dynasty ritual system, officials of the first grade used rubies to top beads, corals for the second grade, sapphire for the third grade, lapis lazuli for the fourth grade, crystal for the fifth grade, clam for the sixth grade, plain gold for the seventh grade, inscriptions for the eighth grade, and inscriptions for the nineth grade.

Just a whole set of official hats is rare in later generations. The top beads alone are worth a lot of money, but Lao Fu only spent 800 yuan on the acquisition.

"No, Mr. Fu, you are intent."

Li Weiguo nodded with satisfaction, then folded the list in his hand, put it in his arms, casually glanced at the treasures in the box, and closed the box without looking closely.

"Hehe, as long as you are satisfied with yours, Mr. Li." The old Fu bowed and smiled.

"Hahaha, I'm satisfied, quite satisfied. Master Fu, I can trust your vision. By the way, Master Fu, it's the end of the year. I've prepared more supplies for you to see if you can eat them." As he said that, Li Weiguo used a flashlight to illuminate the pile of supplies that filled the yard.

Upon hearing this, Old Fu looked into the center of the yard following the light of the flashlight.

Wow...there are baskets of pork and eggs, and even the bags of grain on the ground are piled up, which is much larger than the previous transactions every week.

Old Fu was so happy that it was over. By the end of the year, no one was trying to find a way to buy New Year’s goods and supplies for the New Year. Of course, the more supplies the better. He was about to mention this matter to Li Weiguo, but he didn’t expect it to happen.

After suppressing his excitement, the old Fu said, "It's okay to have more or less, don't worry, Mr. Li, it won't take long to sell it."

"That's good. This time it's one thousand pounds of pork, one thousand pounds of eggs, one thousand pounds of duck eggs, one thousand pounds of mutton and three thousand pounds of white flour."

Hearing this quantity, Lao Fu silently calculated the price in his heart:

Pork, 50 cents per pound, 1,500 yuan;

Eggs, one piece of six cents per pound, one thousand six hundred yuan;

Duck eggs, one piece of 80 cents per pound, one thousand eight hundred yuan;

Lamb, one piece of two cents per pound, one thousand two hundred yuan;

White flour, 30,500 pounds, 1,050 yuan;

A total of 7,150 yuan was already much more than the amount of money he brought today.

"Master Li, I don't have enough money. Please wait a moment, and I will ask my boss to go back and get it." As he said that, he was about to call the boss of the Fu family back to get the money.

"No need to worry, give as much as you bring. Remember the remaining money first, just change it to me with old items next time." Li Weiguo waved his hand indifferently, and didn't want to waste time and tossing around. Anyway, he was not worried that the old Fu would run away.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your understanding. The little old man brought 14 small yellow croakers, and there are still 200 yuan. The remaining 4,150 yuan is left. The little ones are all used to purchase old items. After they are packed, they will be delivered to you."

"Okay, then you will be burdened."

"I dare not, I dare not, it's all my duty, it's my little one who has been taken care of by you."
