Chapter 292 Visiting Five Fuchang Streets
When Lin Shu woke up again, it was already bright.
The children and Gu Jiu were no longer on the bed, and there was movement in the small living room outside.
Lin Shu wanted to get up, but as soon as he moved, he felt sore all over his body and his limbs were limp.
Gu Jiu got up early with his two children and had breakfast today. He was sitting in the small living room playing with the children with building blocks.
He saw Lin Shu walking out holding on to the wall, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and he quickly walked over to support her, "Get up, do you want to have breakfast now or rest for a while? If you have breakfast now, I will call and ask them to bring it up. ”
"I'm so hungry that I could eat a cow." Lin Shu glared at him and gritted his teeth.
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and laughed softly. He had a particularly good temper and echoed: "Okay, I will ask the waiter to bring some more nutritious and stomach-pleasing breakfasts. Madam, you can enjoy it slowly."
Lin Shu was sitting on the sofa and resting. The children saw her getting up. Dabao looked at her with concern. Erbao was the most direct. When he saw his mother getting up, he happily jumped on Lin Shu.
"Mom, have breakfast."
"Okay, little baby will have breakfast with mommy later." Lin Shu held up Erbao's little face and kissed her forehead.
Four or five items were served for breakfast. Fortunately, the portions of each item were not large. One of them, pumpkin porridge, was the favorite of the two children.
Dabao and Erbao each ate less than half a bowl of sweet pumpkin porridge.
Gu Jiu wiped the porridge water from Erbao's mouth and asked: "Where do you want to go today? The Great Wall or the Forbidden City?"
"We are not going anywhere this morning. We will take the children to the Capital Amusement Park and have fun for a long time. In the afternoon we will go to the Temple of Heaven Park."
Gu Jiu had no objection to his wife's arrangements.
After playing in the amusement park for a long time, the children were happy, but Lin Shu was extremely tired.
After lunch, the two children fell asleep before spending an hour in the Temple of Heaven Park in the afternoon. It was impossible for the couple to hold the children while walking around, so they had to go back to the hotel to rest.
In the evening, Lin Shu took a hot bath to relax her body. Lying on the bed, Gu Jiu massaged her legs to relieve muscle pain.
The next day, Lin Shu didn't want to go to the park or visit the Forbidden City. He wanted to let his body recover for two days before arranging any high-intensity activities.
A family of four took a bus to Wutiao Fuchang Street.
The capital began to resume flea markets in the 1980s. Many aborigines in the capital, in order to improve their lives, traded their old furniture, decorations, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
It's not that no one sold them in the past, but at that time, if you wanted to set up a stall, you had to be sneaky. Normally, you would sneak around the wall. If you were discovered by law enforcement, you had to run fast.
When Lin Shu and Gu Jiu arrived here with their children in their arms, a small street less than a hundred meters on both sides was full of second-hand goods.
Lin Shu had just bought two houses in the capital, and was very interested in these old furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
If you are lucky, you will encounter various round tables, Eight Immortals tables, high-legged tables, Taishi chairs, etc. made of precious woods such as huanghuali and red sandalwood.
"You want to buy furniture?"
Gu Jiu saw Lin Shu turning the old furniture and knocking on it here and there, thinking that the furniture was old and ugly. Some of the furniture had been used for countless years and was all covered with pulp.
"Well, I think these furniture are good. It seems that each piece of furniture has witnessed the rise and fall of a family. The sense of historical vicissitudes is too strong. Each piece of furniture seems to have a story."
Lin Shu used the system reminder and found a large wardrobe made of rosewood. The wardrobe was exquisitely made and the carvings were lifelike.
There is a dressing table of the same style next to it. Gu Jiu looked at the wardrobe in front of him and felt that although the workmanship was good, the color was too dark to display at home, "If you want to buy furniture, we might as well go to Bailou Mall to buy it. There are double-door wardrobes imported from Romania. Nowadays, it is popular for young men and women in the capital to buy large double-door wardrobes when they get married.”
Lin Shu seemed not to hear what he said and started bargaining with the stall owner.
Gu Jiu was right. Young people in this era like fashionable furniture. No, the two pieces of furniture were finally sold for seventy yuan.
The price of two pieces is not as good as the price of a large wardrobe imported from Romania.
The price of an imported double-door wardrobe is only eighty yuan.
Since she would not be leaving for a while, the furniture could not be sent back immediately, so Lin Shu gave the stall owner a deposit of ten yuan, and after she finished shopping on the street, she found a truck to transport the furniture back to the newly purchased courtyard.
The old furniture here is mostly made of camphor wood, occasionally mixed with fine wood.
Of course, buying good quality wood depends on your vision. Lin Shu doesn't know much about wood, but she has a system to remind her.
In this era, although the overall flea market is doing well, some timid people still dare not blatantly put calligraphy, paintings, and antiques on display for trading.
So there are a lot of antiques placed on some furniture.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"This bookshelf is good." Lin Shu patted an old bookshelf that could be placed in the study.
[Host, the Babu Qiangong bed next to it is made of huanghuali wood. There is a hidden box under the bedside. There are many valuable things in it. It is not a loss to buy it. 】
No, the system reminded her again.
The system is close to vegetation and knows better than anyone else what materials the furniture is made of.
"This bed is so big, how are you going to transport it back later?" Lin Shu turned around and saw the Qiangong bed next to him.
This kind of bed was usually made as a dowry for the daughter of a wealthy family in ancient times. Parents began to collect wood from a young age, and began to make it after collecting it. It would take a carpenter two years to complete a Qiangong bed.
This shows how precious it is.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man. Hearing Lin Shu's words, he explained with a smile: "This bed was my grandma's dowry when she got married. After my grandma passed away, it has been piled up in their original room.
< br>
Money has been tight recently, and I felt that this bed took up a lot of space, so I thought of moving it out in exchange for some money. As for transportation, don't worry, comrade. This bed can be disassembled for easy transportation. When it is delivered to your home, I can introduce a carpenter to help you assemble it. ”
"How much does this bed cost? If the price is right, I will buy it. If the price is too high, I will check it out again."
Lin Shu's meaning is very obvious. If the price is right, buy it. If the price is too high, give up. As a stall owner, you must not be too open-minded.
"I believe you understand how difficult it is to make this Qiangong bed. My grandma said it took five months to carve just this carving. You see, the feet of the bed are all carved with flowers." The stall owner stretched out his hand as he spoke. Thumb and little finger, "Six hundred yuan is the same price."
To be honest, the price is not expensive according to the price of later generations, but it is not cheap either.
Lin Shu patted the non-existent dust on his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, do you know how many eggs and meat you can buy for 600 yuan? If you sincerely sell it, give me a sincere price, and I will buy it if I think it is suitable. You know This thing is not suitable for eating or drinking, and I think it is unlucky to have dead people lying on it.”
Lin Shu bought it for collection.
In the future, this kind of step-by-step Qiangong bed, coupled with the precious wood, will be able to enter the museum.
