Chapter 99 Semi-Antique Big Yellow Croaker (3)
When he came outside, Li Le found a breakfast shop, had something to eat, and then took a taxi to the furniture store.
The outer city furniture mall is located near the South Fourth Ring Road. Li Le took a taxi and arrived here quickly.
To be honest, this was Li Le's first time visiting this place, and this was the place the taxi driver told him about.
According to Li Le, just find any furniture store. He doesn't want to buy messy furniture, just a wine rack.
Entering the furniture store, Li Le felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. There were all kinds of furniture everywhere.
Unfortunately, he didn't see the wine rack that Li Le wanted. He had no choice but to ask someone.
"Hello! Where is the wine rack seller?"
Li Le asked a staff member, a young lady in her twenties.
“Go straight ahead from here and you’ll see the wine rack.”
"Thanks!"
Following the route pointed by the young lady, Li Le quickly found the place.
Originally, Li Le just wanted to buy a wine rack, but when he got here, he discovered that there were so many different styles of wine racks.
The most common one is the one Li Le wanted to buy before, with small compartments for wine.
Now that there are so many styles, Li Le certainly doesn't like that one. No, he picked one with a wine cabinet.
The upper part is similar to an ordinary wine rack, with small grids, but the bottom part is a cabinet that can hold a lot of wine.
Li Le didn't bargain and bought it for twenty-seven thousand.
In fact, this is already very cheap, because it is made of solid wood. Although it is not a good wood, it is still relatively strong.
It's already very cheap. If a decoration company were to make a wine rack like this, it would probably cost tens of thousands of yuan.
And the materials used may not be as good as this.
Just like when Li Le was renting a house in the suburbs, the faucet on the sink was broken. Li Le bought a faucet online for more than 30 yuan.
But when I asked him to install it, he actually charged eighty yuan. The labor cost was more than twice as expensive as the material cost.
After paying the money, Li Le left, because the furniture store delivered the goods to his door.
But it has to be delivered in the afternoon, so it doesn’t matter, since it’s almost noon anyway.
After returning home, Li Le went to the kitchen to cook. On a hot day, there was actually nothing to cook. He made a few cold dishes, including beef, pig ears, cold vermicelli and cucumbers.
After finishing this, Li Le took out a can of beer from the refrigerator and drank it.
If someone drinks with him, it’s okay to mention it a few times!
After eating, Li Le went back to the house and took a nap. When he woke up, it was almost two o'clock.
Li Le glanced at his cell phone and saw that no one was calling, which meant that the furniture store hadn't delivered it to him yet, so he had to wait.
A pot of tea and a small bag of Qiaqia melon seeds.
Li Le loves to eat melon seeds. To be honest, these Qiaqia melon seeds are not very good, but there is no way. In summer, melon seeds tend to become wet, so you can only buy packaged ones.
After cracking a bag of melon seeds and almost drinking tea, Li Le's cell phone rang and he quickly connected it. Sure enough, it was the wine rack delivery guy from the furniture store.
Li Le hurriedly went out to pick up people. When Li Le came to the gate, the car from the furniture store had just arrived.
Furniture stores are all packaged and installed, so Li Le does not need to do it himself.
An hour later, the wine rack was installed, and Li Le moved the wine out of the east wing and placed bottles on the wine rack.
Whatever was left on display, he put into the wine cabinet below.
Looking at the wines on the wine rack, Li Le felt much more comfortable, yes, just comfortable. He also placed two bottles of the Zodiac Moutai given to him by Cheng's father, but they were only at the bottom. In front of these old wines, the Zodiac Moutai was nothing.
After doing this, Li Le went back to the house to get a large yellow croaker, and then went out.
Before leaving, Li Le searched the Internet on his mobile phone and saw a piece of information. In 2012, a large yellow croaker was auctioned for 300,000 yuan.
You know, that was one or two years ago! At that time, gold only cost a gram. Now, more than ten years later, the price should be even higher.
The main reason is that this large yellow croaker is not sold by the gram. If it were sold by the gram, one large yellow croaker would cost 312.5 grams, which would cost 400 yuan per gram, which is more than 120,000 yuan.
It is said online that this large yellow croaker is semi-antique, so it cannot be calculated at the price of ordinary gold.
Li Le thought so too, so he wanted to ask how much a large yellow croaker could be sold for now.
To sell it as an antique, of course he couldn't go to a gold shop or a place that specializes in gold. He wanted to go to an antique shop.
The largest antique trading market in the imperial capital now is Panjiayuan, and this is where Li Le wants to go.
More than half an hour later, a taxi stopped at the entrance of Panjiayuan Antique Market, and Li Le got out of the car.
Li Le went in and walked around first. After all, he was not familiar with this place. He walked around first to see which store was bigger.
Zhenbaozhai is a store Li Le chose, not because of anything else, but because this store is big enough.
There are five rooms in total. You must know that the houses here are very expensive. The rent for one room per year is an astronomical figure.
And this Zhenbaozhai actually has five rooms for opening a shop. At least it has the strength.
"Welcome to Zhenbaozhai, are you buying or selling?" A clerk saw Li Le coming in and ran over to ask.
"How do you say buy? How do you say sell?"
If you don't understand, just ask. Li Le has a good habit. After all, this is his first time here.
"If you want to buy it, you can take a look at it first. If it comes out, I will take you to an appraiser."
"So that's it! Let me take a look first!"
"Okay, you can take a look as you like." The clerk stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.
Li Le didn't understand these things. He said he would take a look, but he really just wanted to take a look.
After walking around for a while, I didn't see anything interesting, so I waved over to the clerk from before.
"Sir, how can I help you?" the clerk asked politely.
"Help me find an appraiser. I want to come up with something."
"Okay, please follow me."
The clerk took Li Le to a living room inside, asked Li Le to sit down, and then poured tea.
"Sir, you have tea first, and I'll call the appraiser."
"Well, you go ahead!"
Within a few minutes, the clerk came over with an older man in his fifties.
"Hello, sir, this is Mr. Hu, the appraiser of our store." The clerk introduced.
Teacher Hu sat across from Li Le, looked at Li Le and asked, "What do you want, sir? Can you show it to me?"
"Yes!" Li Le nodded and said, "My surname is Li." Then he took out the big yellow croaker and handed it over.
"Big yellow croaker!" Teacher Hu said in surprise.
"That's right! It's the big yellow croaker."
