Hello 1983

He spoke stumbling English, and even Liu Qingshan followed his reputation. It was a man in a white shirt, wearing glasses, less than 30 years old, holding a large cardboard box in his arms.

McCall is also used to it. Since coming to this country, he has often met people selling things to him, so he quickly shifted his attention from Lewis and Louganis to the other party's cardboard boxes.

The man immediately showed joy, put the box on the ground, opened it carefully, and took out a huge jar from inside.

It's so big, it's probably enough to use as a jar for pickling salted duck eggs.

"Sir, this is an old item from my family. It will be yours for [-] US dollars."

The man seemed a little reluctant, but soon made up his mind.

"Hey, this price is too high. I bought more than 100 pieces of porcelain just now, and it only cost a few thousand dollars."

McCall shook his head vigorously, probably thinking so in his heart:

Although your jar is relatively large, I have a lot of it.

Disappointment flashed in the man's eyes, and he was about to put the jar back in the box.

"Can we take a look?"

Liu Qingshan also asked in English.

"You are an overseas Chinese, you can, of course you can!" The man's eyes showed hope again.

Lao Mao'er and Master Lu leaned over and began to study, while Liu Qingshan chatted with the man without saying a word:

"Since it is inherited from the family, where can I sell it if I don't want anything?"

The man adjusted his glasses with his hand: "I want to go abroad, I want to leave this place forever!"

Liu Qingshan originally had a good impression of this person, but now he is completely disappointed: No matter what you have experienced, he doesn't bother to be with a person who abandons his motherland.

Even the old hat straightened up, looked at the guy with disdain, and muttered: "Forget about the dog of the ancestors!"

And Master Lu nodded towards Liu Qingshan: "It should be a blue and white jar from the Ming Dynasty. If it costs [-] US dollars, it's not worth it."

"I am blue and white from the Yuan Dynasty!" The man was still arguing.

"Hehe, who doesn't know that there were no blue and white flowers in the Yuan Dynasty, who are you kidding?" Master Lu didn't have a good face.

"This is handed down from generation to generation by my ancestors, how could it be wrong."

The man continued to argue.

Liu Qingshan's heart suddenly moved, he suddenly remembered a public case in the collection circle: there was no blue and white in the Yuan Dynasty, which has always been a misunderstanding in China.

It was foreign researchers who were the first to discover that, but because of the lack of international communication, people in China still had the original misunderstanding.

It wasn't until the big Yuan blue and white jar from Guigu Xiashan was sold for a sky-high price that it was known to the Chinese people.

Could it be that this big jar is really a big blue and white jar from Yuan Dynasty?

He didn't take a closer look just now, because he was a complete layman in appraising antiques, and it was useless to look at them, but now, of course, he has to take a good look.

First pick up the big pot and look below, there is no inscription, and most of the Yuan blue and white are also not there.

Since Master Lu can date it to the Ming Dynasty, it is possible that it is a large blue and white jar from the Yuan Dynasty.

Chapter 255 This Choice Is More Correct

Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan became more confident, and began to look at the patterns on the pot again. In the picture, there was an old man fishing by the water, and a person standing behind the old man with his head bowed respectfully. There were chariots and attendants in the distance.

The style of the picture is simple, the landscape is pleasant, the characters are lifelike, the indifference of the old man fishing, the respect of the standing person are all lifelike.

Anyone with a little bit of historical knowledge knows that this is an allusion of Jiang Shang fishing in Weishui and King Wen of Zhou visiting sages.

Sure enough, when he turned to the other side, he saw the word "Jiang Shang" again.

It's still a blue and white pot depicting characters!

Liu Qingshan immediately thought of the big Yuan blue and white pot that went down the mountain from Guigu, how similar it was, and his heart suddenly became excited.

Taking a step back, even if it is not the real blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty, it is from the Ming Dynasty, and it is not a loss to buy it.

But the key question now is: he has no foreign exchange on hand!

All the foreign exchange for selling morels was intercepted by the higher authorities, and all the money that went to him was in RMB.

The [-] US dollars spent in the store just now was obtained from Fujita Masaichi, and the leaders of those factories in the county took half of it away.

The rest was all spent just now, and the rest is RMB. Looking at the posture of the man sharpening his head and going abroad, it is obvious that he is looking for US dollars.

Liu Qingshan regretted a bit: If I had known earlier, I should have saved some just now. Can I return the goods in the Friendship Store?

He secretly made up his mind: this big pot that looks like Yuan blue and white must be taken down.

Originally, he heard that it was a family heirloom, but he was still a little bit reluctant, but it turned out that the guy wanted to run to "heaven" with all his heart, so let him be fulfilled and let him feel the cruelty of heaven turning into hell.

Just the money?

Liu Qingshan looked at McCall: Borrowing money as soon as we met, isn't it good?

If it’s not too good, you have to borrow it, Liu Qingshan doesn’t want to miss this opportunity:

"McCaul, I'll mortgage all the chinaware I just bought to you and borrow fifteen thousand dollars from you, is that okay?"

When Liu Qingshan bought those porcelains just now, McCall also knew the price. It cost nearly [-] U.S. dollars, so of course there is no problem as a mortgage.

So he nodded: "Liu, we are friends, of course there is no problem, but I don't have that much cash on hand?"

It's understandable when you think about it. These days, who goes out and walks with tens of thousands of dollars?

Fortunately, this guy McCall is really generous. He borrowed a circle from those companions who came for a stroll, and finally made up 5000 yuan.

One of the guys was still joking: "McCall, have you taken a fancy to Liu's porcelain and hoped that he would not pay the money?"

"Liu and I are real friends!" McCall was still blushing and arguing thickly. As for what he was thinking in his heart, it is unknown.

Liu Qingshan didn't care about foreigners like them, he slapped the 5000 yuan he just got on his hand twice, and then said to the guy selling pots:

"With this money, you can either take the money and leave, or you can get out with the jar!"

He is not polite at all, and there is no need to be polite to this kind of guy who has forgotten his ancestors.

The man struggled for a moment, then took the money, glared at Liu Qingshan bitterly, and left without looking back.

In the end, whether he will go to heaven or go to hell, who knows?

When Liu Qingshan and the others returned to the guest house, they only held a large cardboard box. The dozen or so antiques they bought at the Friendship Store were of course called to McCall to take them away.

Even if McCall doesn't do this, Liu Qingshan will follow the spirit of the contract.

"Qingshan, the 1 U.S. dollars in my hand also asked me to exchange them on the black market." Uncle Lu was a little worried for Liu Qingshan. After all, 5000 U.S. dollars is not a small sum.

If you can't raise money, it will be a loss to grandma's house.

"It's okay, there is always a way." Liu Qingshan had to comfort Uncle Lu in turn.

Back in the room, Liu Jinfeng and the others next door had already come back from a stroll, the fourth and fifth were chattering, reporting what they had seen and heard to the elder brother:

"Brother, the capital is really lively!"

"Brother, we saw a lot of good things!"

Liu Qingshan smiled and asked them: "What did you buy?"

The youngest four said, "Let's just watch it, but we didn't buy it."

Shan Xing added: "I bought iced Arctic Ocean soda to drink."

Liu Qingshan looked up at the elder sister and the second sister, and there was already some reproach in his eyes: "You two sisters, didn't I give you 500 yuan, don't be reluctant to spend it."

The two sisters, who are used to thrift, are of course reluctant to spend money. It is not a question of whether they have money at all.

Eldest sister Liu Jinfeng also stared back: "If you have money, don't waste it!"

The second sister Liu Yinfeng also added: "The things in Wangfujing are very expensive."

As for Gao Wenxue, he pointed to a stack of books on the table: "I mainly wandered around the Wangfujing Bookstore and bought a lot of spiritual food. This is the best one. It saves money and can be read for a long time."

Okay, okay, can't I convince you?

Liu Qingshan can only give up, and wait until he has time to walk with them before making purchases.

"Brother, what did you buy?"

Seeing the big cardboard box that Liu Qingshan was holding, the fourth child came up to him, blinked his big eyes, and asked curiously.

"Be careful, don't fall."

Liu Qingshan took out the jar and put it on the table. It is more dangerous to put this thing in a cardboard box, but if it is placed on the bright side, everyone will be more careful.

"Hee hee, it's such a big jar, it's just right to ask my mother to keep the salted duck eggs when I go back."

The fourth youngest looked at it with a smile on his face, thinking that his elder brother would live a life, and shopping was very practical.

Liu Qingshan stroked her antenna braids: "Well, you have a good idea, the salted duck eggs must be delicious."

After tidying up, it was time for dinner. Lin Zizhou also called and asked them to come over for dinner.

Don't rush to eat duck eggs, let's try roast duck first.

When they arrived at Quanjude, Yang Hongying's aunt He Min, of course, also came, greeted Liu Qingshan and the others warmly, hugged the fourth and fifth children, and said with a smile:

"You two seem to be a lot heavier than when you were in the New Year."

The two little girls also called Auntie, and the fourth child happily hugged the gift they brought.

There are a lot of things, mainly some dried wild vegetables and dried fungus, Liu Qingshan also said with a smile:

"Auntie, Uncle Lin, you will definitely not have to worry about eating wild vegetables in the future. My sister is now the director of the wild vegetable factory."

He Min nodded with satisfaction: "Teaching is not Xiaoyingzi's major."

Thinking about how old my sister is, she is almost an old lady, and she is also called Xiaoyingzi, Liu Qingshan can't help but want to laugh.

While waiting for the food to be served, they asked Liu Qingshan and the others why they came, and when they heard that Liu Yinfeng had been admitted to Peking University, He Min and Lin Zizhou immediately expressed their congratulations.

Now the graduates of Peking University are basically snatched up by the major ministries and commissions. Liu Yinfeng's future is already bright.

"Qingshan, you have to work hard. I read in the newspaper that you are now a new Long March striker. If you want to be admitted to a good university, then you will be an excellent political capital if you enter politics in the future."

Lin Zizhou has always attached great importance to Liu Qingshan, a young man, not only because of Yang Hongying's relationship, but more importantly because of Liu Qingshan himself.

In his keen sense, he has always believed that Liu Qingshan is a person who is at the forefront of this era, and even every conversation can bring him a lot of inspiration.

Are you in politics?

Liu Qingshan really has no such plan, there are too many rules and regulations, which is not what he is after.

But he also knew that Lin Zizhou's reminder was out of love, so after nodding his thanks, he said:

"Uncle, I think the country is very determined to promote economic development. In this era of great change, only a real reformer can stand at the forefront."

Lin Zizhou nodded, tapped his fingers on the table, then turned to look at Liu Yinfeng: "Erfeng, what major did you apply for?"

"In the Department of Economics, Sanfeng and I have studied it. The economy is the pillar of the country. Now, talents who really understand the economy are very scarce."

Liu Yinfeng spoke calmly, her eyes were clear and firm, she really didn't look like a child who just walked out of the countryside, without the slightest timidity and restraint.

"Good ambition."

He Min gave a compliment, which was from her heart, not a compliment.

However, Lin Zizhou glanced at Liu Qingshan: "Since you have chosen your goal, you must go on firmly."

It's just a little pity in my heart, after all, with such a bright future, how many people can there be in the whole country?

However, he respected Liu Qingshan's choice, and even faintly felt that this choice was more correct.

The dinner was of course very enjoyable. As for the price, one roast duck cost more than 17 yuan. The group ate two in total and spent less than [-] yuan.

Plus other things, it's in my early twenties.

How should I say this meal, it may not be expensive in future generations, but at that time, it was an ordinary worker with nearly half a month's salary.

It's quite a luxury!

The next day, the fourth and fifth children were disappointed again, because the elder brother did not take them to the square, but took the second sister out for a day.

However, it also brought them a new surprise: the house has been bought!

That night, the little one went to live in his own home. It was so comfortable and free to live in his own home.

However, considering that there is still a need to buy some luggage, bedding and daily necessities in the small courtyard, Liu Jinfeng dragged and dragged, at least to suppress the little brother.
