Chapter 18 Make friends with Mr. Ma

Facing the strangers in Madu, Zhang Junping wanted to ask, "Brother, do you know my name? Just get closer and communicate more!"

Aren’t you just greedy for this Luban box in my hand?

Aren’t you just thinking about finding opportunities in the future to get the Luban Box or the things in the Luban Box?”

"My name is Zhang Junping, a freshman student at Central America!

I studied Chinese painting, but after school started, the teacher asked me to switch to the sculpture department!" Zhang Junping also sincerely wanted to make friends with Ma Du.

Ma Du wanted the Luban Box in his hand, but what he was interested in was Ma Du's connections in Beijing.

The big brother in the courtyard is a real local snake.

"That's me!

When I saw my brother, he was different!

Changing majors, the teacher must have discovered my brother's talent in sculpture and is planning to accept him as his apprentice!" Madu's flattery came out of his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth.

But he got it right.

Lang is in love with his concubine, and the two people who met for the first time seemed to have been friends for many years, and they chatted quite speculatively.

Exchange knowledge about antiques and talk about interesting things about collecting, which is a bit like meeting each other at a late date.

After this exchange, Zhang Junping suddenly discovered that the old horses of this era were not as good as himself.

Collecting is all based on hobbies!

That is to say, there are no fakes in this era. Otherwise, at Lao Ma’s level, I would definitely receive a room full of fakes.

Ma Du had a feeling of astonishment towards Zhang Junping. This little brother was truly a college student from Central America. He was so rich in knowledge of antiques and cultural relics at such a young age.

When they parted, the two of them had to chop off the chicken's head, drink the chicken's blood, and bow to each other.

After parting, both of them felt that their trip was worthwhile.

Zhang Junping is very happy to have met Ma Du, a well-connected fellow from the courtyard, who will really be able to help him a lot in the future.

Ma Du is happy to have met an interesting and capable little brother.

In the future, when doing literary works, I finally don’t have to figure it out on my own.

Ma Du left Zhang Junping his contact address and the landline phone number of his work unit, and repeatedly told him to get together some other day and go dig out his old home together.

He reluctantly glanced at the Luban box in Zhang Junping's hand, and looked at the old furniture that was being loaded into the truck with some regret before turning around and leaving.

The reason why Ma Du came to the junkyard was because he heard a joke at a party.

Let’s talk about a college student from Central America who repaired Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture at a junkyard for free. All he needed was a bunch of old furniture and a bunch of dismantled wood.

Because I was afraid of taking advantage of the country, I even set a high price for those old furniture!

This incident was treated as a joke and told by everyone.

However, Ma Du went and kept it in mind.

There is no charge for repairing furniture, but only old furniture, and a high price is given. What does this mean?

As a well-traveled collector, Ma Du, his first reaction is that those old furniture are famous.

So, I went to the secondhand goods station on Sunday to find out.

With his shallow knowledge of antiques, he quickly identified that the old furniture was fine Ming and Qing ancient furniture made of small-leaf red sandalwood, Hainan huanghuali, and golden nanmu.

As long as it can be repaired, this kind of furniture is of great collectible value!

Just when Ma Du made up his mind to cut off the beard, the truck from CAMC arrived.

Upon asking, Central America bought all the ancient furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The reason is to use it as a teaching tool.

This made Ma Du very disappointed and regretted that he came too late!

It would be nice to come here early!

Even if you can't get them all, it's still good to pick up one or two pieces and take them back.

At this time, Ma Du felt quite nervous.

I had just returned from being an educated youth. I first worked in a factory for a while, and then, through connections, I was transferred to work in youth literature.

I just became an editor last year with the novel "The Moon Is Full Tonight".

To put it bluntly, my pocket is cleaner than my face.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t know that the cultural relics store has all kinds of cultural relics and antiques, but instead of buying them, you would go to the junkyard to hunt for treasures.

In a word, there is still no money!

After Ma Du said goodbye to Zhang Junping, he left the Tianqiao Secondhand Goods Station and headed to other secondhand goods stations.

Since Tianqiao Secondhand Goods Depot can have so many ancient furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, other secondhand goods depots should also have them.

It's a pity that the horses are destined to return disappointed.

Who is the old lady?

This was just ignored before.

It's dark under the lamp, no one notices it, and there are treasures hidden in junkyards.

Now that I know, I will still keep it. When I arrange for people to come to Tianqiao Junk Depot to buy old furniture, there are also several groups of people going to other junk depots at the same time.

Even the material recycling company superior to the used goods depot sent people there.

The old lady's exact words, no matter what kind of furniture it is, just bring it all back to me.

I have to say that the old lady’s apprenticeship gift was really generous!

Zhang Junping didn't know this, otherwise he would have sighed that the master was too awesome, which was not a good thing, and the sense of accomplishment of hard work was deprived of him.

Of course, Zhang Junping didn't know this at this time, and was still rummaging through the pile of debris searching for treasures.

With the Luban box just now, Zhang Junping was full of expectations for this pile of debris.

There is a saying that the more you expect, the greater your disappointment.

In the end, Zhang Junping only found a few small wooden boards of Hainan Huanghuali, which were lacquer parts such as storage boxes or jewelry boxes.

Seeing that Zhang Junping only took a few boards, Wang Bin didn't know how to express his feelings.

The reason why he was so enthusiastic was not only because he had left the maintenance work to Zhang Junping, but he was busy for two days, and the station turned around and sold the old furniture. He felt a little guilty, and he also wanted to ask for something.

That means his younger brother has been assigned to a building!

If you are assigned to a building and move out, your home will be much more spacious, which is a good thing.

However, moving to a new house means adding some new furniture.

However, it is not easy to buy furniture in this era. You have to buy it by ticket or go to a furniture store to buy high-priced furniture.

If purchased with a ticket, a set of furniture will not cost more than 100 yuan.

But high-priced furniture costs three to four hundred yuan per set.

The key problem is that high-priced furniture is in just as short supply as cheap furniture, and there is also a queue.

Moreover, affordable furniture is currently mainly supplied to young people who are newly married.

With your marriage certificate, you can collect furniture tickets and other tickets at the neighborhood committee, such as candy tickets, cloth tickets, etc.

As mentioned earlier, with the peak period of educated youth returning to the city, Beijing will soon usher in a peak period of weddings.

Therefore, the current situation is that even if you have a furniture ticket, you may not be able to buy furniture.

How hot the furniture market is can be seen by looking at the popularity of Zhang Junping's folding chairs.

"Webmaster Wang, are you okay?" Zhang Junping also noticed that Wang Bin was acting coquettishly, as if something was wrong.

The key is that Wang Bin is a little too enthusiastic.

No matter how realistic people in this era are, they don’t have this kind of positive law.

Not making amends to yourself feels like a huge sin.

"Um...Master Zhang, do you have time recently?"

"What's wrong with you?"

"That's it. My brother has divided the house and needs some furniture. I would like to ask for your help..." Wang Bin said a little embarrassed.
