I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

98. Going to the countryside to shovel the land (35)

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Hu Muzhi heard the sound of the system in his mind.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully extracting Ming-style rhinoceros lacquer and obtaining the rhinoceros lacquer craftsmanship. 】

Feeling the extra memories in his mind, Hu Muzhi also had a smile on his face, another skill that the Dragon Kingdom has passed down for thousands of years.

In the evening, Hu Muzhi didn't go to Panjiayao and went to sleep early.

At four o'clock in the morning, Hu Muzhi was woken up by the alarm, so he took a shower, got on his wagon, and headed for the countryside.

Since it is shoveling the land, the selection of the location is particularly important.

The land chosen by Hu Muzhi is called Linmu County.

It is said that the hardwood materials or finished furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties were transported to the capital first to be unloaded here.

Therefore, it is likely that there are hardwood furniture left over from the Ming and Qing dynasties here.

At the same time, it is more than 180 kilometers away from the second ring foot.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is likely that other shovelers have never been here.

When I arrived in Linmu County, it was already past 8 in the morning.

After Hu Muzhi found a nearby breakfast shop and took a bite, he headed towards the village under the county seat.

Finally, Hu Muzhi came to Yabie Village.

This is a small village. There should be about seventy or eighty households. The houses are basically tiled buildings made of stones.

After entering the village, Hu Muzhi slowed down the speed of the car, because you don't know if some animals or children will come out of the intersection.

Everything is for safety.

After riding around the village for a while, Hu Muzhi parked the car at the gate of a small courtyard.

In this small courtyard, a woman was sweeping the dust on the ground with a broom woven by herself. Seeing Hu Muzhi, she couldn't help asking, "Young man, what's the matter?

"Auntie, do you have any waste that you want to recycle?" Hu Muzhi asked.

"It turned out to be a waste collection, yes, yes." The woman replied repeatedly, placing the broom against the wall and entering the back room.

When I came out, I already had some waste newspapers and cardboard boxes in my hands.

Seeing this, Hu Muzhi knew that his expression was not clear enough, so he opened his mouth and said: "Aunt, I don't want these, the scraps I collect are old porcelain bowls, old porcelain plates, jars, ancient coins and so on."

"It turned out to be these." The aunt showed a stunned expression and shook her head: "My family doesn't have these.

"Then you're busy, I won't bother you." Hu Muzhi said, he started the car and ran to the next house.

After an hour of work, Hu Muzhi asked seven families, but found nothing.

In this regard, Hu Muzhi has no sense of loss, because shoveling the ground is like this, and it is impossible to encounter good things right away.

It is not uncommon for many shovels to not open for a month.

But Hu Muzhi felt that the efficiency was too low.

I can't see a few at all in a day.

Immediately, he thought about ways to improve efficiency.

"Yes." Hu Muzhi secretly said.

Although I'm not sure if this method will work, it's definitely more effective than asking the next one.

Without any hesitation, Hu Muzhi started the car, left the village, and went straight to the county seat.

In the end, the car was stopped by Hu Muzhi at the entrance of a market selling daily necessities.

Hu Muzhi locked the car and entered the market.

Finally stopped in front of a shop selling pots and pans, plastic benches, buckets and the like.

"Boss, what do you need?" The shop owner asked Hu Muzhi when he saw Hu Muzhi staring at his things.

"Boss, how much are these eating bowls and these plates?" Hu Muzhi asked.

"Small ones like this one, fifty-two cents, and the big ones, eighty-eight cents..."

"What if it's in large batches?" Hu Muzhi started.

"How many?" the boss asked.

Hu Muzhi thought for a moment, then said: "Hundreds of pieces. 35

As soon as he heard a few hundred pieces, the boss suddenly came to his senses, this is a big order, and even said: "Everything is fifty cents, can you see it?

Hu Muzhi nodded slightly and continued: "And these towels, buckets, plastic chairs, I want them all, you can do the math for me.

"Okay, okay, wait a moment, I'll do the math for you." The boss responded quickly, took out the calculator, and started to press it.

After a long while, the boss handed the calculator to Hu Muzhi and said, "Boss, according to what you want, a total of 800."

Maybe it was because he was used to bargaining in the antique shop, Hu Muzhi opened his mouth and said, "Seven hundred and eighty.

"Also." The boss happily agreed, after all, such a big customer still has repeat business.

Hu Muzhi paid the money and let the boss pack the stuff.

In order to prevent the porcelain bowls from bumping on the road, Hu Muzhi specially ordered some cotton cloths from the boss and put them under them.

After loading the things into the car, the boss said enthusiastically: "Boss, please drive slowly, welcome to come again next time."

"Okay." Hu Muzhi replied, and he rode his wakame to Yabie Village again.

Everything is ready, so the next step is to choose a place with the most traffic.

It's just that Hu Muzhi is unfamiliar with Yabie Village, and he doesn't know where the most traffic is.

In the end, I spent two yuan to buy a few popsicles and a pack of white rabbit toffee at the canteen, and distributed them to a few children playing at the entrance of the village.

From their mouths asked where the most traffic was.

It is under a big willow tree in the village, because here is the only way for the villagers to work in the fields.

••••••••••*##£••••••••••

Hu Muzhi parked the car under the tree, unloaded the things from the car, and placed them neatly on the ground.

Then looked at the time, more than 1 o'clock.

The sun is the most poisonous, and the villagers basically take a lunch break at home, and it is impossible to work in the fields.

So Hu Muzhi also leaned under the tree, closed his eyes and rested.

As time passed by, Hu Muzhi quietly felt the breeze caressing his face.

suddenly--

A woman's voice sounded.

"Boy, lad...'

Hu Muzhi opened his eyes and found that he was called by a woman who was carrying a hoe and was about to go to work in the field.

"Auntie, what's the matter?" Hu Muzhi asked.

"Young man, how do you sell these porcelain bowls?" the woman asked.

"This kind of large plate is two pieces, and a bowl is five pieces." Hu Muzhi quoted an "astronomical price".

Because he came here not to sell bowls, but to 'collect bowls'.

"Is this too expensive?" The woman glanced at Hu Muzhi, then shook her head and said, "At first glance, you are not expected to do business.

"Auntie, this bowl is of good quality." Hu Muzhi laughed.

"No matter how good the quality is, it doesn't need to be so expensive. In the county town, you only have a bowl like yours for eighty cents." The woman began to teach Hu Muzhi a lesson: "Young man, business is not what you do, you must understand Small profits but quick turnover,”

"You can't sell one at a price like yours."

Hu Muzhi patiently listened to the woman's speech before he said, "Auntie, if you think this porcelain bowl is expensive, you can replace it with an old one at home."

The way that Hu Muzhi thought of, is through the way of barter.

Although this method is very abstract, it is very effective in this day and age.

When the woman heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it really possible to replace the old bowl with a new one?"

"Yes, as long as I can look at it, I can exchange it, of course, some ancient coins or something..." Hu Muzhi said again about the objects that can be exchanged for new ones.

"I just have these at home. You wait for me, and I'll go home and fetch them." After speaking, the woman quit her job and turned around and walked towards her house.

Not long after, the woman came back with a porcelain plate and two large blue and white bowls in her hands.

"Young man, take a look, can these three be exchanged?" The woman then handed the object in her hand to Hu Muzhi.

Hu Muzhi took it and glanced at it.

Although it is not an object from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, one of them is an official kiln in Jiaqing, and the other two are blue and white from a folk kiln.

"If you can change it, you can choose six. Hu Muzhi said.

"It really can be changed. The woman said with a look of joy, so she picked three bowls and a plate from a pile of new china, and also picked a bucket and a plastic stool from the daily necessities.
