Chapter 37 Antiques

Li Wenkai and Section Chief Zhou came to the logistics department and got the keys, then went downstairs to find Shen Zhengjun and Zhou Aiguo.

"Old Zhou, has Paiguo's work settled?" Ding Qizhi, director of the Logistics Department, looked at Zhou Aiguo in a low voice and said.

If you have nothing to do, you will either be humble or steal.

There are at least some people who can become leaders to observe their looks. If it weren't for Section Chief Zhou's son's work being solved, how could Section Chief Zhou take the initiative to bring Li Wenkai over? And judging from the expressions of the two, Section Chief Zhou completely confessed Li Wenkai as if he was the leader, for fear of saying the wrong thing and offending the other party.

If you think about it in total, it is not difficult to analyze the results.

Section Chief Zhou and Ding Qizhi are also old comrades, and they are familiar with each other in private.

"Let's go." Zhou Aiguo was also happy, and he kept it in his heart and just wanted to find someone to tell him.

Ding Qizhi knew that there were many people in the office, so the other party had some words inconvenient to say in front of everyone, and the two came to the corridor outside.

"My kid's work has finally been arranged. Just in the car support group, Master Li agreed to accept that kid as his apprentice and hold a discipleship ceremony tonight..." Section Chief Zhou told the matter of Zhou Aiguo, especially the unit's only solves the staffing problem and does not pay wages.

"Congratulations, this is already very good. If it is in other positions, the salary may not be solved. However, Master Li is a car who is engaged in imported cars. As long as he has a job, he will be able to repair it well. How many cars and trucks are there in Yanjing? Now Master Li's skills are so good, it is not easy to solve the salary of two people. More importantly, he can learn a skill of eating." Ding Qizhi said.

"Yes, I don't expect him to make money for his family. As long as he has a stable job, some are busy, don't do anything outside." Section Chief Zhou said with satisfaction.

"I really envy you, that boy in my family, hey, stop talking." Ding Qizhi said enviously when he saw that his child had a job.

The two were smoking there and soon separated.

Li Wenkai and two apprentices from Shen Zhengjun and Zhou Aiguo rode their bicycles to their destination.

This is an old house not far from Chaoyangmen South Street, about the place where Dongcheng is located later on the Second Ring Road.

Shen Zhengjun opened the door and the three of them walked in.

"Yes, although it's a bit old, just clean up." Li Wenkai looked at the warehouse with an area of ​​about 400,500 square meters.

"This place will be our base camp in the future. You two are looking for brooms and other things... Forget it, let's clean it together when everyone arrives in a few days." Li Wenkai originally wanted Shen Zhengjun and Zhou Aiguo to clean it up, but seeing such a large workload, I thought about cleaning it together after everyone arrives in a few days.

"It's okay, we're idle anyway." Zhou Aiguo looked for a broom everywhere, and the two of them started to move.

Li Wenkai began to look inside and how to arrange the venue.

Li Wenkai found a red brick, drew the trench, looked at the two of them and said, "It's going to be dug here one meter or two deep, and build it with bricks around it, and then use it to repair cars in the future."

There must be a gutter. At that time, you must use it when checking and repairing the car chassis, changing engine oil, etc.

There are no cranes now.

"Okay, let us leave it to you, these things are perfect." Shen Zhengjun said.

Now that the two have a job, they are happier and work harder. Not to mention a small pit, they are willing to dig fish ponds.

"Okay, you two don't have to do it anymore. Clean up those shelves and put tools in the future." Li Wenkai inspected the house and saw two wooden shelves inside, red, and I don't know what wood they were made of.

The two of them put down the broom and came over, found a rag from the place and wet it and wiped it.

"What kind of wood is this? It doesn't need to be golden nanmu or rosewood, right?" Li Wenkai was not familiar with the materials. He only knew that golden nanmu or rosewood and Hainan rosewood are more expensive, and that is sold by pounds.

"No." Shen Zhengjun said.

OK.

Li Wenkai said intimately.

"Tomorrow, ask the unit's logistics department to come and build the entire circuit. The door will be larger, at least four or five meters wide and three or four meters high." Li Wenkai pulled down the rope of the light switch and found that it was not bright, and said, looking at the two-meter-wide door.

Here comes a repair shop, and the trucks are not too tall to enter and exit.

I don’t know if the iron gate can be, probably not. Now the domestic steel production is very small. How to use it to make the gate? Generally, solid wood is used, which is exactly the opposite of 2020.

"Dingdang, Dingdang..." A series of bells sounded outside the door, and an old man appeared outside the door on three wheels, "Is there any waste sold?" the old man looked inside and asked.

"No, the house that hasn't lived in for a long time. It used to be a warehouse. The weather is so cold for the old man, come in and hide." The old man is in his seventies, his face is full of vicissitudes, and his hands are covered with calluses and shriveled skin and bones. Due to the wind and frost, it cracks like an old tree bark. Li Wenkai couldn't bear to call him inside.

It's not easy for everyone.

All for food and clothing.

"Thank you, then I'll take a look." The old man stepped into the house with three wheels.

I read it once and there was nothing.

Plastic is gone, iron is even rarer now.

"These three bottles are OK." The old man still found three bottles in the corner, put them on the ground, looked at Li Wenkai and said, "These three are two cents in total." After that, he took them into his pocket.

"Okay, I'm giving it to you, no money." It's just two cents. In 2020, not to mention two cents, even if it's two cents, it's not even picked up two cents on the street.

Li Wenkai saw that the old man was so old and came out to collect waste under the wind and snow, how could he be so happy?

"No, no, I have to give it money." The old man said firmly, then took out a dark blue two cents, and there was an airplane on the front and handed it to Li Wenkai.

"Uncle, it's really nothing. Don't be polite. If you do this, I'll break it." Li Wenkai said shirked.

The old man felt Li Wenkai's sincerity, but in the end he couldn't twist Li Wenkai, he had to give up.

"That's right, it's just two cents, not a few hundred dollars." Li Wenkai took out Zhonghua from his pocket, gave each of the two apprentices of Shen Zhengjun and Zhou Aiguo, and then handed one to the old man.

When the old man saw that Zhonghua took it with trembling hands. Li Wenkai took out the matchbox and cut out a match to point it to the other party.

"Thank you." The other party said gratefully.

Li Wenkai started chatting with the other party casually.

The weather is cold now, and I don’t make much money when collecting scraps. Sometimes I don’t make a penny.

"Uncle, if you encounter some ancient antiques, such as blue and white porcelain, calligraphy and painting, it is just old things. If someone wants to sell them, come and tell me that I like to collect some old things." Li Wenkai felt that this old man was still familiar with antiques, so he changed his mind and said.

"Young man, you finally asked the right person. Don't worry, I'll ask you for inquiries. I go around the streets every day. I'm most familiar with who has old things at home." said the old man.

"Then thank you, uncle. Just come here to find me." Li Wenkai felt countless blue and white porcelains rising up.

Later, there was a private museum that opened a private museum and started collecting it now. We also made some things back and sold them. If we were lucky, we would post them when we met a peerless treasure.

Li Wenkai stretched his hand into his shoulder bag, and five ham sausages appeared in the hand bag in the space, then took out two and stuffed them to the old man and said, "Uncle, please keep these two hams. This is made of meat. Tear off the red cover on the outside and eat it directly. Of course, it can also be used to cook..." Li Wenkai said how to eat ham.

"Master, just have one." Shen Zhengjun saw Li Wenkai taking out the red ham and putting down the broom and walking over. Zhou Aiguo, who was on the side, also stopped the work in his hand and looked here.

Li Wenkai threw one for each of them.

"Haha, this is a good thing, uncle, you don't know, this is something from Xiangjiang, you can eat it by pulling it open." Shen Zhengjun directly bites a breakthrough with his teeth and pulls it open, revealing the pink ham inside, and ate it directly.

"This... this is too expensive. Young man, I can't ask for it." The old man saw that the ham in Shen Zhengjun's hand had three or two meats, and two were half a pound.

"Take it, just treat it as a hard work," said Li Wenkai.

"Then... thank you. Don't worry, I will pay attention to you. When there is something good, I will come and call you." The old man said.

"That's right. Let's help each other. No one owe anyone. It's just a friend. Thank you, my name is Li Wenkai. Just call me Xiaokai. A repair shop will be opened soon here. If you come here, you will find me. If I don't have an apprentice, they will be there." Li Wenkai said.

The old man also informed Li Wenkai of his name. His surname is Gong and his name is Gong Huaishan. He is 78 years old today. In addition to collecting scraps, he is also an antique lover.

"Okay, my uncle, another day, Sunday, I'll come to Mr. Xie for advice." The two of them got together at home, and Li Wenkai planned to go to each other's house this Sunday to listen to the other party's knowledge about appreciation of antiques.

This is much better than the so-called antique collectors in 2020.
