The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 180, Golden Nan Fang Liang

The reputation of this golden nanmu is not small.

Since ancient times, golden nanmu has been regarded as the best wood. In ancient times, it was only available to the ruling class. It was mainly used for beams and columns of the palace, royal furniture, coffins, etc.

For example, many beams in the BJ Forbidden City are made of golden nanmu. A few temple buildings with a long history may also be made of golden nanmu, but these require special approval from the emperor.

"Oh? Golden nanbeam beams? How many are there?"

Li Weiguo became interested now. Furniture made of golden nanmu is usually hard to get, and golden nanmu roof beams are even rarer. The golden nanmu that can be used to make roof beams must be whole and mature, which is a good thing. ah.

Seeing that Li Weiguo was indeed interested, Hong An knew that he had made the right bet, so he said with a smile: "There are about a dozen of them, all of good quality. If you are interested, can I take you to have a look?"

Originally, Hong An had wanted this batch of golden nan beams, which were such good materials, but he didn't get them right away because he didn't have the money.

After all, who is engaged in decoration who doesn’t want to save some good materials, so that he doesn’t have to keep them for his descendants?

As long as such good wood is properly preserved, it can be stored for hundreds of years without any problem. Even if it is not used by future generations, it can still be sold for a lot of money. This can be regarded as a disguised form of adding heritage to your home.

However, after what happened today, Hong An finally saw Li Weiguo's energy clearly.

With such a powerful cadre by my side, I don't know when and where my demands will be placed on others. It will be worse if I don't hug my thighs tightly at this time.

So Hong An thought that Li Weiguo liked ancient furniture and would definitely be interested in golden nan beams, so he might as well sell him another favor.

Otherwise, if someone helped you this time and you want to trouble others next time, you probably won’t be able to use the money.

Friendship is something that must come and go before it is stable.

After listening to Hong An's introduction, Li Weiguo became more and more interested, and secretly wondered whether he should take down all these golden nanmu beams.

Anyway, the owner of Fangliang is already thinking about selling it for money and tickets. Who is selling it?

So Li Weiguo nodded and said, "Okay, let's go for a while?"

"Okay, then come with me and let's go take a look."

When Hong An saw Li Weiguo agreeing, he laughed, knowing that he had figured out Li Weiguo's preferences, so he didn't waste any time, stretched out his hand and led the way.

After leaving the Jiaodaokou Police Station, Li Weiguo first went back to the courtyard to change into casual clothes, and then followed Hong An and his son toward Dajing Factory. He passed by a restaurant on the way, ordered a few dishes, and made do with lunch.

The western section of Dajingchang is located on the west side of Andingmen Nei Street. It starts from Dajingchang Hutong in the north, ends at Gulou East Street in the south, and has a branch alley in the west leading to Beiluogu Lane.

In the Qing Dynasty, the western section of Dajing Factory belonged to XHQ, and in Guangxu it was called Dajing Factory.

It is said that this place was once a place for printing scriptures, so it got its name. It was called Dajingchang West Lane after the Republic of China. It was not until the government reorganized place names in 65 years that the western section of Dajingchang was renamed Dajingchang West Lane. That is what Hong An said. A friend lives in this area of ​​Dajingchang West Lane.

Li Weiguo followed Hong An and his son to Dajingchang West Lane and walked for several minutes before arriving at a courtyard house.

From the outside, the yard is mottled everywhere, with a few tiles falling off. It looks like it has been around for a while. The owner probably has poor close-up views, and the yard has not been repaired much.

At the end of the field, Hong An walked up to the door and knocked on the door.

Not long after, I heard a knock on the door and came over to open the door.

The door was opened by a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a melon-pipe hat. When he saw that it was Hong An who knocked on the door, he immediately said hello: "Master Hong, you are a rare visitor. What kind of wind has brought you here today."

Hong An smiled and said: "Hey, what's the matter, Lao Jin, didn't you say last time that you wanted to sell the beams you saved at home? Today I have found a customer for you." With that, Hong An An moved his body to let Li Weiguo behind him.

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Lao Jin looked over and saw a young man of about twenty years old behind Hong An, and he suddenly felt a little nervous.

How can such a young person have enough money to buy golden nanmu beams? Why don't you make fun of him?

However, doubts turned out to be doubts. Lao Jin still maintained his dignity and said nothing more. He cupped his hands towards Li Weiguo and asked, "What is your name for this gentleman?"

Li Weiguo returned his hand and said, "Hello, comrade, my name is Li Weiguo. You can call me whatever you want."

"Okay, Mr. Li, just call me Lao Jin. Since you are here to see the wood, we won't be too polite. Please come in." With that, Lao Jin stretched out his hand and invited them into the hospital.

Li Weiguo was confident, nodded, and followed Lao Jin into the courtyard gate.

After entering the courtyard gate, the first thing you see is the screen wall with a big Chinese character "福" carved on it.

After turning around the screen wall, Lao Jin led everyone directly to the doors of the two reverse rooms at the west end of the yard. Then he groped for a while before taking out the keys from his pocket and opening the door.

The courtyard of Lao Jin's family is a standard second-entry courtyard. A family of five or six all live in the second-entry courtyard.

Since the first-hand side-by-side room faced south and faced north, it was relatively dark and unsuitable for living, so Lao Jin used the two middle-hand side-by-side rooms for entertaining guests, while the two westernmost rooms were used to store household items. The dozen or so beams are placed in the two inverted rooms on the westernmost side.

Opening the door, Lao Jin moved his body out of the way, revealing more than a dozen beams and miscellaneous furniture and sundries piled in the room.

When everyone entered the house, Li Weiguo carefully counted and looked at the beams stacked on the ground. He found that there were three main beams, 12 support beams and other pillars in this batch of beams. Although they were of different lengths and sizes, the surface of the wood was There is almost no insect damage or mildew.

In order to let everyone see clearly, Lao Jin proudly found a flashlight, swept away the dust on the surface of the wood, and used the flashlight light to shine at close range. Under the strong light, the surface of the wood glowed with a golden light of tiger skin patterns. , and also has a light aroma.

The largest of the three main beams has a visual diameter of more than 60 centimeters and a length of more than eight meters. It can be called the best golden nan.

The other two main beams are not small. Li Weiguo estimated that they are about fifty centimeters in diameter and about eight meters in length. They are all made of high-quality wood.

The more Li Weiguo looked at it, the more he liked it. This batch of materials was really rare and good wood.

What is not mentioned must be taken.

Li Weiguo didn't waste any time and asked immediately: "Master Jin, these materials of yours are quite good. I wonder how you plan to sell them?"

Seeing that Li Weiguo really wanted it, Lao Jin pondered for a moment and then said: "Master Li, since you want it, I will give you a real price. The largest main beam is 300 yuan, and the other two main beams are 200 yuan each. , the other support beams are fifty yuan each, they are all made of good quality materials, you can pick which ones you want."

Li Weiguo didn't say anything after hearing the price. He turned to look at Hong An. Hong An was a professional decorator and knew the prices of various materials. He asked him if he was right.

When Hong An saw Li Weiguo looking over, he nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem with the price.

Don't look at the price of two or three hundred for a roof beam. It looks like a lot, but in fact the price is not expensive at all.

Golden nanmu has been a precious wood since ancient times. Such large golden nanmu beams are rare on the market, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy one.

When Li Weiguo saw Hong An nodding, he immediately knew what was going on.

This batch of golden nanbeams has three main beams and twelve support beams. If we take them all, it will cost a total of 1,300 yuan, which is not a small amount of money.

The price was reasonable, but Li Weiguo still had to pay back the price.

Li Weiguo touched his chin, pretended to think about it for a moment, and then said: "Master Jin, if I want all of my ingredients, what price can you give me?"

Want them all?

What a loud tone!

Lao Jin and Hong An were shocked now.

If all these golden nan beams are taken down, the cost is not small. The price is more than 1,000 yuan. The average family does not know how long it will take to save. I didn't expect that Li Weiguo would dare to ask for them all. He really has a big appetite. ah.
