Chapter 151: Happy to get Qianlong’s jade plate finger
Lin Sanqi was not upset even though she was looked down upon.
For a professional player like Lin Dongdong, the value of a car depends on whether it has collectible value. For example, that Cadillac, I believe the value in his hands can be far more than 300 yuan.
But an old Jiefang brand truck and a broken jeep used by the gendarmerie in the spy drama can only be used as props in Hengdian, without any collection value.
So Lin Dongdong thought that he, a member of the small clan, was too smart, so he would put aside good cars and play with broken cars instead?
Will you also like the old widow when you marry a wife in the future? Huh huh? ……
Thinking of this, Lin Dongdong looked at Lin Sanqi with not only contempt, but also pity and confusion in his eyes:
"Ahem, Qizai, let me tell you, although northerners say that dumplings are not as delicious as dumplings and that sister-in-law is not as fun as anything else, that is all just talk. When we, the Lin family, want to marry a daughter-in-law, we still need to find a daughter from a good family. The family background must be clean, otherwise grandpa will not be able to pass the test..."
Lin Sanqi had a black question mark on his face:
"Brother Dong, I don't understand. I'm telling you about cars. Why did you tell me about women?"
Lin Dongdong smiled awkwardly: "Well, aren't they all the same? We all drive anyway. You have to remember what my brother said, talk about cars, talk about cars. By the way, how are you going to modify this car?"
Lin Sanqi doesn't understand cars, but these cars are related to his life, so he must take them seriously.
"Brother Dong, I don't understand how to modify it. Anyway, my request is to give me a comprehensive modification. Except for the casing that cannot be moved, everything else that can be modified must be modified. Don't be afraid of spending money. What I require is top-notch performance and will not break down easily. .”
"Hey, there are so many things that need to be modified, the engine, chassis, brakes, air intake and exhaust, tires, etc. This will cost a lot of money. I think there is nothing in your car that can be retained. , all have to be replaced.”
Lin Dongdong opened the engine compartment, lay down on the bottom of the car and looked around, and gave a not optimistic answer.
These Lin Sanqi also understand, what is so attractive about an original classic car?
But there was nothing he could do. In 1959, you drove a Volvo truck? It's advanced, and the controls are top-notch, but you'll probably be arrested before you even leave the village.
"Brother Dong, I have use for these two cars. Just modify them with the best configuration for me. It doesn't matter how much you spend."
Lin Dongdong nodded: "Okay, you are the father of Party A. You can change it as you say. But let me be blunt, I guess the modification fee is enough for you to buy several new cars."
Lin Sanqi shook her phone: "Is 3 million enough?"
At the same time, I thought to myself: This old man Fu is really a good person. He bought two and got one free. In the end, he even earned back the modification fee. I will give him more food later.
"Damn, you're a poisonous person. Why would you pay 3 million for two broken cars? Leave the car here with me. I'll let you know when it's ready."
"Thank you, Brother Dong."
Lin Sanqi waited for 10 days in 2023, and the car modification was finally over.
Lin Sanqi drove a big truck and a jeep for a walk and felt extremely satisfied.
Not to mention how much more powerful it is, the control is countless times more comfortable.
Although the original Shanghai 58 Jeep has a heavy steering wheel, it can still be driven.
But the steering wheel of the Jiefang brand truck is as heavy as a millstone, and every time you change gears, you have to use a lot of strength.
Two feet are definitely bad luck here in the old Jiefang Truck.
Since the switch control of the starter is also placed at the position of the accelerator, in addition to controlling the accelerator and brake, the right foot is also responsible for controlling the starter when the car is started.
The starting operation requires not only controlling the accelerator with the right foot, but also stepping on the starter switch. The result of poor coordination between the two feet is that the car cannot be started.
Now, after modification, the accelerator, brake and clutch are all in line with the driving habits of modern drivers, making it very simple and easy.
Lin Sanqi was very satisfied with the transformation of the two cars and burst out laughing when he got off the car. The most difficult traffic hurdle in 1959 was finally over.
"Brother Dong, your technology is absolutely top-notch. I am very satisfied. I will transfer the total amount to you."
Lin Dongdong still had lingering fears at this time:
"Don't renovate such shabby cars in the future. It almost cost my masters half their lives. Oh my god, this car is too shabby. Just be satisfied with it. It's 600,000 yuan in total. Don't worry, I use the best quality ones." Good accessories, guaranteed to be unbreakable. ”
Lin Sanqi readily transferred the money, and 600,000 yuan was used to modify two cars, which showed that Lin Dongdong really made no money.
"Thank you, Brother Dong. Here, here is a box of cordyceps. Take it back and let your uncle and aunt replenish it."
Lin Dongdong took a look at the box and found that it contained large cordyceps one by one. He was very happy.
"Wow, Qizai, you are so generous. This is the level of the Cordyceps King. Okay, if you need any modifications in the future, please contact Brother Dong. But let me take my advice again, second-hand cars are better, and my wife still wants original ones, you know ..." Lin Sanqi thought to herself that I know nothing, what is wrong with this clan brother? Why do you always mention women?
Lin Sanqi got the car and traveled back to 1959 from 2023. Ten days only lasted one night.
Lin Sanqi didn't dare to drive in broad daylight. There wasn't a single private car on the road these days. The emperor was very strict, so Lin Sanqi didn't dare to take risks.
So in the middle of the night, Lin Sanqi drove the Shanghai 58 Jeep to Dongsisantiao, Mr. Fu's house.
Old Man Fu looked at the bags of flour and half a fan of pork. He felt moved and guilty, feeling that he had killed a "good brother".
Lin Sanqi didn't take it seriously and moved a few more things from the car:
"Master, here, here is a bag of sugar, 30 pounds, and here is a box of Fenjiu, given to you."
When Old Man Fu heard this, he almost burst into tears. Since the liberation, Manchu elders like them have also changed from the masters in the past to the broom stars that everyone avoids now.
The palace that used to be bustling with people was now deserted and deserted. There was not even a single servant in the house, and he had to take care of everything by himself, including food and sweeping.
It was even more rare for Lin Sanqi to provide carbon at such a critical moment, which moved Mr. Fu even more.
The children of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were originally a bunch of big dudes, so they naturally dug their hearts out when they saw you, so Old Man Fu immediately took a jade plate finger from his finger and stuffed it into Lin Sanqi's hand:
"Brother Lin, don't say anything. You will be my good brother, Fu Zuo. I don't have anything to give you. This jade finger is passed down from our ancestors. It was the most beloved thing of Emperor Qianlong back then, so I gave it to you. ”
Lin Sanqi was shocked when she looked at this white jade finger with patterns and engravings on it.
"Old man, this, this is too precious, I can't have it."
When Mr. Fu saw that Lin Sanqi knew the goods, he felt even happier. This gift was worth it:
"Boy, you have a good sense. Back then Emperor Qianlong wrote a poem for this Hetian jade plate finger: A fast horse is flying with wind behind the ears, and there is no empty space in the floating elk's ribs. It is said that the carved jade is a good omen, and feathers will appear. Baoxian repeatedly refers to the flat finger in your hand. Look, there is also the word "Yu Tong" engraved on it. ”
Even the most ignorant people know that antiques that were used by ancient emperors and have clear provenance are cultural relics and are extremely valuable.
Lin Sanqi looked at the bag of sugar on the ground and exchanged the sugar for an antique used by the emperor?
At this moment, Old Man Fu sighed heavily:
"Take it, don't be embarrassed. This jade finger was worth a thousand pieces of gold back then, but now it's worthless in this world. If I take it to the black market, I can only exchange it for a few kilograms of dried sweet potatoes. Our time has passed~ ~~”
Lin Sanqi didn't dare to refuse. This is a good treasure. I really have to be polite. What if Old Man Fu really doesn't give it away?
But Lin Sanqi is a person who knows how to repay kindness, so naturally he has to express his gratitude after accepting other people’s treasures:
"Old man, don't close the door. Wait for me for half an hour. I'll come back in half an hour."
After saying that, Lin Sanqi drove away in the small jeep.
When I came back half an hour later, there were a lot of cloth, cotton, rice, cooking oil, tea, and a 50-year-old wild ginseng in the car...
The next day, Purchasing Department.
Lin Sanqi took the letter of introduction from Chief Kong and put it aside indifferently, making Chief Kong frown.
"Xiao Qi, you have to keep this letter of introduction carefully. If you lose it in another place, you will be in trouble."
Lin Sanqi thought to herself that the last time she made a fake letter of introduction, she already had the official seal template, but she lacked the letter paper of this era, so she chuckled:
"Section Chief, this letter paper is good. Can you give me some to use as a draft book for my nephew and niece?"
Section Chief Kong was happy when he heard this, "Boy, I still need some paper. I can only give you half a knife. The supply of paper is also tight now."
Lin Sanqi got half a knife of letter paper and looked at the red letterhead "Capital Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital" on it. She thought that this was good, the fake letter of introduction was foolproof.
Section Chief Kong took out another 3,000 yuan in cash from the drawer:
"Xiao Qi, this time you are going to the three provinces of South China. Your procurement task is relatively heavy, and the amount of medicine purchased is also relatively large. I am afraid that there will be some accidents on the way. Losing money is a small matter, but losing people will cause big trouble. .
So I will give you 3,000 yuan in cash first, part of it can be used as purchasing expenses, and part of it can be used as your business trip expenses. Of course, this money is not enough for this purchasing task, for the safety of national property and for your personal safety.
Our Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has made an agreement with the Provincial People's Hospital of Hu Jian, Dongguang and Guangqi provinces. If the money is not enough, you can go to these hospitals to withdraw money first. This is the address of the hospital and the department and name of the person in charge. You can bring it with you when you arrive. Just provide a letter of introduction to withdraw money. ”
In the 1950s, banks did not carry out off-site withdrawal business. If it was public to public, you could use checks, which solved the trouble of large transactions.
However, because hospitals have to deal directly with farmers or rural cooperatives for procurement, they need to use cash, otherwise farmers will not recognize it, which creates a problem.
The style of the 1950s was to be very united within the same system.
When Lin Sanqi needs money, she first goes to a local hospital to borrow money, and then the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine returns it to the local hospital through public channels. This solves the problem of carrying cash long distances.
