Siheyuan starts a 100,000-acre farm

When Li Aiguo walked into the store, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world. There was a wide variety of merchandise, neatly arranged on the shelves. There were also crowds of people inside, including men, women, young and old.

The men were hanging around the counters selling watches and radios, the women were hanging around the counters selling clothing and leather shoes, the old men were looking at porcelain, calligraphy and paintings and the like, and the young people were simply shopping for ice skates.

At this time, ice skating in Sijiucheng is also a scenic spot. There are five places, but most people often go to Beihai and Shishahai, which are also in Sijiucheng.

There are many wealthy people here in any era. In ordinary places, no one would buy ice skates for their children. A pair costs fifty or sixty yuan, and a second-hand one costs twenty or thirty yuan.

But after walking around, he didn't find any furniture for sale. If there were any, they were very small and there were not many. However, there were many antiques. Li Aiguo thought that he would have the chance to buy some antiques himself and put them in the space in the future.

But it is a tool for appreciation, and the price has risen alarmingly. A thing worth tens of yuan can rise to hundreds of millions, and the appreciation is faster than that of a courtyard house. But it is difficult to sell, unlike real estate, which can be realized quickly.

Antiques are hard to sell if you are not in the same circle. Good antiques are basically inherited. Most of the auctions of these things in later generations are for money laundering.

But it would be a shame not to buy it. The prices of antiques are not high now, and it is even a drizzle for Li Aiguo. In a few years, they will be even cheaper than before, or even a disaster.

But Li Aiguo was not afraid. He had the space and the money, so this thing was like something he had found. It would be a waste not to buy it. Qin Jingru would go home every month, and then he would just go out and buy it himself.

After asking around, he found out that the furniture was all in the trust store in Donghuamen. This time, Li Aiguo realized that trust stores also have main categories.

Some focus on shoes and clothes, some focus on furniture, and some focus on porcelain, calligraphy and paintings. The trust store near Donghuamen focuses on furniture.

Li Aiguo got on his bicycle and headed towards Donghuamen. There were much fewer people here than at Xinjiekou. After all, they were all carrying large items.

Li Aiguo walked in with his hands behind his back like a young master, especially with Qin Jingru following him closely like a little maid.

But the people in the department store didn't see it that way. They thought that the brother and sister were focusing on Qin Jingru, but they were not too enthusiastic. Everyone is equal now, and these sales clerks are also one of the eight major employees, real bosses.

Li Aiguo came to the furniture area. Not to mention that the furniture here was really complete, there was nothing you couldn't think of. Li Aiguo also found his favorite desk and bookcase, as well as quite a few chairs.

One of the large bookcases looked a bit like rosewood, but Li Aiguo didn't recognize it, so he called the salesperson over and pointed at the large cabinet and asked in a baby voice:

"Hello, may I ask, is this made of small-leaf red sandalwood?"

The salesperson had already seen Li Aiguo, but because he looked cute and didn't touch him in any naughty way, he didn't come over to chase him away.

The saleswoman was a young lady in her twenties, a bit plump, about 165cm tall and weighing about -kg. She came over to Li Aiguo with a smile on her face and said:

"I didn't expect that you, a kid, also know about small-leaf red sandalwood. Tell me who taught you."

Li Aiguo's face darkened. Perhaps this was the sadness of being small. People saw that he was a child and definitely had no purchasing power, so they came over to tease him.

But he was not in a hurry, nor would he be so stupid as to take out a wad of money to pretend to be angry. That would only cause unnecessary trouble at this time. Instead, he said in a baby voice:

"Beautiful sister, I heard from others that small-leaf red sandalwood and golden nanmu are used by the emperor, so I want to buy some."

When the salesperson heard Li Aiguo call her a beautiful sister, she immediately became excited. No one had ever said she was beautiful since she was a child, but many people called her a fat girl.

Pinching Li Aiguo's little face, he said with a smile:

"Little boy, you are so sweet. My name is Zhao Nana, and I like to hear you tell the truth. But this is not made of small-leaf red sandalwood. This is painted, and red sandalwood is very rare."

Li Aiguo had a dull expression. He was surprised at how thick-skinned Zhao Nana was, but also felt ashamed that he, a time traveler, couldn't even tell the difference between rosewood and lacquered wood.

Then I cheered up and said, "Since you like to listen, I will continue to say that snakes have their ways and rats have their ways. Every industry has its own ways. Since you are planning to stay in this for a long time, it won't be a disadvantage to know someone in the inside."

"Well, beautiful sister, do you know where to buy red sandalwood furniture? Or golden nanmu, huanghuali will also be fine, I want to buy some."

Although Li Aiguo spoke in a relatively light-hearted manner, it sounded like thunder to Zhao Nana's ears.

Zhao Nana looked at the little kid in front of her, took a closer look at his clothes, then looked at Qin Jingru next to him before asking:

"Little boy, do you know the value of red sandalwood furniture? It is very high!"

Many people say that these red sandalwood furniture and golden nanmu furniture can be bought for dozens of dollars, which is a lie, or it was made after 66.

At that time, these old things could be given to you for free, but now they are very valuable.

In any era, anything with the words "imperial supplies" or "specially supplied for the palace" attached to it is bound to be expensive.

At this time, Li Aiguo had no choice but to fill the cup, otherwise people might not show him the real thing.

"Don't worry, pretty sister. As long as the item is genuine and good, I won't mind its price."

"If I can't afford it, I'll pawn my sister to you."

Li Aiguo pointed at Qin Jingru beside him and said to Zhao Nana.

“Puff….”

Zhao Nana burst out laughing and touched Li Aiguo's little head.

Qin Jingru looked quite aggrieved, and held Li Aiguo's little hand, as if it was a silent protest, and as if she was saying, "I can't bear to leave you."

Qin Jingru was really worried that Li Aiguo would keep her here. After all, Li Aiguo was only a child, and he might start to have a seizure if something went wrong.

In fact, Li Aiguo said this just to give Zhao Nana confidence, meaning that she should not worry, as there are adults at home.

Qin Jingru is actually not very old, only about fourteen or fifteen years old, but in this era, people of fourteen or fifteen years old can already get married.

Many rural children have been helping their parents with work since they were young, and some have never even attended school for a day.

Otherwise, there would be no need for literacy education. In fact, literacy education only means teaching some commonly used Chinese characters. This is incredible to think about in later generations.

Zhao Nana looked at Li Aiguo, smiled and said:

"Okay, then come with me and I'll show you the world."
