Chapter 104 Heavenly Creation
Nie Xiaoya nodded and said, "You are right. We just need to have great ideals. Even if it seems so far away, as long as we keep walking, we will always see that day."
At this time, why did you change the subject and asked: "By the way, do you know how to go to the freakish market?"
"Emmmm, I don't know either."
After half an hour of inquiring, it was already a little late after asking for directions. He took Nie Xiaoya to have a little snack, which was from the state-owned company.
After this meal, Nie Xiaoqian took the only five yuan she had and insisted on a request. As a result, she owed a dollar, and even had to borrow money for buying furniture.
But He Ku didn't borrow it, he just said that the furniture was for Nie Xiaoya to use, so what was the problem in the end?
After dinner, they continued to go on the road. The two of them successfully arrived at the fresh goods market and saw all kinds of ancient furniture here.
In fact, I have wanted to come here for a long time, but I have never had the chance. I am looking forward to it now. Maybe I can find a lot of antiques on this trip. In the novel, I see many people going to buy furniture. When they encounter furniture with secret lattices, they can open good things at any time, as well as golden nanmu, yellow rosewood, and various complex dynasties. They are all available.
But why don’t you believe that Sijiucheng, as a capital city with a profound historical heritage, must have lived here either wealth or honor, and the furniture of these people may have really flowed out.
When it comes to transfer after purchase, He Ku didn't feel anything wrong. Instead of letting these things disappear slowly in the long river of time, it would be better to buy them back and throw them into the world to sell antiques. If it is true, it would be much different from picking up money. In special times, He Ku even wanted to take over the activities of destroying old items in the entire Sijiu City.
After walking around, there were too many furniture and the two of them were dazzled. If it weren't for Nie Xiaoqian, why both of them would just round it up? It looked like they were antiques!
The place here is very remote and the conditions are dirty and messy. There are all kinds of old clothes, old books, and old bedding, just like a garbage market. However, this reminds me of the good fortune.
The pig trotters, pig internal organs, pig rosary, pig tails, pig ears, cow heads, cow trotters, chicken claws, and chicken racks in the West are also considered garbage. Large slaughterhouses have to be thrown to special treatment plants for processing.
However, when planting flowers, these are the best ingredients. If you can eat them up, wouldn’t it be beautiful?
But now is not the time to consider this matter. He Ku soon saw an old man who specializes in selling old books. His stall was full of books, and a bunch of books at the front of the book actually wrote "The Work of Heaven" to open things.
Just these few words make He Ku feel short of breath. If this set of books is true, it would be too precious.
If you remember correctly, the Ming Dynasty scientist Song Yingxing's "The Creation of Things in Heaven" is the world's first comprehensive work on agriculture and handicraft production, and it is also our own first craft encyclopedia, which is amazed by.
"Let's go and have a look, I'll buy some books."
"Oh, OK."
He hurriedly took Nie Xiaoya's little hand, walked to the old man's stall, and asked, "Old man, how do you sell books?"
"Five cents per pound, if you want more, you can make four cents."
He Ku nodded, took a look directly, opened the yellowed paper of "The Art of Heaven" and found that there were many introduction pictures on it, vividly drawing some common scenes with brushes, and detailed how the tools were made and used at that time.
After watching the complete set of "The Art of Heavenly Works" in a row, why didn't you find any problem? This is definitely not a printed product, it is definitely hand-painted.
"I want this set." He Ku handed the whole set of "The Art of Heaven" to the old man, and was soon amazed again.
The one under the craftsmanship of nature is actually the "Yongle Encyclopedia", which is a giant encyclopedia compiled by Yao Guangxiao of the Ming Dynasty. It is also recognized as the world's number one and also recognized as the largest encyclopedia in human history!
Looking at these ancient books, Nie Xiaoya was also a little moved, but she had no money in her pocket, so why bother to like it, it was difficult to speak.
"How many books do you have in this book?" It's really hard to imagine that the treasure that scholars dream of in the world are actually placed in front of them like rags!
The old man said proudly: "Many books, such as my family, have a whole volume, all passed down from ancestors. The ones here are only a small part, which I took casually when I came."
Once again, after reading it a little bit, He Ku found something wrong. This thing was preserved so well that it was like a fake one.
However, the content inside is reasonable and well-founded, and the handwriting is in order. It seems to be from everyone’s hands. The price of 5 cents per pound is really, it’s not as cheap as possible!
Even if it is a fake book, it is not something that can be bought for five cents per pound, and it is full of national treasures.
"I want it all, please tell me a number." He smiled bitterly. He was not an expert and didn't know whether it was true or false, but he knew that he would not lose money if he bought it, and he would regret not buying it.
Hearing this, the old man licked his lips, a little reluctant to let it go, but now the whole clan is in a downturn. In his generation, there are even many people who are desperate and have to sell these things to subsidize their household income. There is really no way.
"I'll call you right away, wait." The old man hurriedly turned around and borrowed the scale.
Why stop the old man, "No need, you have one book here, count it clearly, I want two cents a book."
"really?"
"Take it seriously! Using a big scale book is too insulting to know, sell it according to the book." He Ku nodded, put away a set of "The Art of Heavenly Works" and handed out ten yuan. "Don't sell a single book to others. I like books, keep it all for me, I'll come here later."
"You are a good person, thank you!" The old man took the ten yuan and was so moved that he was filled with emotion.
Nie Xiaoya was very surprised by why she spent more money. She asked in confusion: "Why did you spend so much more money to buy books?"
"I like these books!" He smiled bitterly and continued: "These are things passed down by the old man. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't live, who would sell it? Everyone's life is not easy, and I will help some people if I have the ability."
"Oh." Nie Xiaoya thought about it, but soon, she deeply admired He Ku.
In fact, from the moment, these books really don’t see any value, and Nie Xiaoya can’t think of any other possibilities, so she can only believe what he wants.
I bought a few sets of tables, chairs, and cabinets that the two of them liked. Why hired a few donkey carts to take them all back to the courtyard.
Before leaving, He Ku instructed Nie Xiaoya: "You wait for me here first, I'll bring the book here."
"Okay." Nie Xiaoya responded, thinking why he was trying to let him look at something and not let someone run away.
When he returned to the book stall, He Ku looked at the old man with a smile, "Old man, have you counted how many books?"
"I've counted it clearly. Including the 6 books you took, there are a total of 256 books, five yuan, one cent and two cents, and five yuan you are counting on five yuan. This is the money you are looking for you." As the uncle said, he handed over the five dollars he held in his hand.
Why push the five dollars back, "No need to find any remaining money, buy the books in your family, how much do you have at home, how much do I want, not enough. Similarly, there are so many books in your village, how much do I want."
