So the negotiation entered a difficult stage, and in the end Zhou Zhi took advantage of the large purchase volume and got a price of three yuan and a half.

Uncle Yu downstairs moved to Manzhou. He threw the room key to Zhou Zhi and asked him to help take care of some orchids that had not been moved. In addition, the dark house must always be occupied by people, otherwise it will be easily damaged.

A set of small amplifiers was left at home.

In fact, Uncle Yu's configuration was correct, but the sixth sister didn't know it and installed a set of large speakers for Uncle Yu, which turned the entire building into speakers.

Now that the big speaker has moved to Manzhou with Uncle Yu, the small set of "desktop" speakers has remained. Now it just lacks a sound source.

The next two years are destined to be boring, difficult and depressing. Maybe listening to music is the only way to relieve it.

Another important thing is the charger and rechargeable battery, otherwise the battery of the Walkman will become a big expense.

There were quite a lot of rechargeable batteries, all of which were disassembled from Japanese electrical equipment, and the prices were not expensive. Because I bought a lot of tapes, Zhou Zhi directly asked the boss to sell half of them and half to give away.

After shopping, it was already afternoon, and Zhou Zhi invited Jiang Shuyi and Xu Hui to have a meal of the famous Sichuan snack - rice rolls and pot helmets - at the entrance to the City God's Temple.

"I can't tell, you are quite rich, my elbow! You have so much free income!" Xu Hui has a stereo at home, but what she envies is the "spare money" Zhou Zhi can spare: "Three hundred yuan for Aihua, let's buy it

Just buy it!”

Jiang Shuyi picked up the fat rice rolls and was quite worried: "Zhou Zhi, you are spending too much money like this. Will you be criticized when you get home?"

"Actually, there is still a thousand yuan to spend, so hurry up and eat. We have to do some shopping after eating."

"Still buying?"

"Well, game consoles and cassettes." Zhou Zhi said: "The two game consoles could not withstand the play of naughty children. Now there are new machines. The price is much cheaper and the content of the cassettes is also rich. It is estimated that in half a year, we will

That stall should be removed."

Jiang Shuyicai explained to Xu Hui: "Zhou Zhi's cousin runs a video game stall at our place. Zhou Zhi owns shares and has to share part of his daily income."

After explaining, he carefully reminded Zhou Zhi: "But this money shouldn't be spent like this..."

Zhou Zhi said: "Uncle Yu downstairs gave me the key to his dormitory, and I'm going to turn it into a study room. From now on, Shuyi, if you get tired of studying, you can go there to listen to music and relax."

"By the way, I haven't thanked you for the tape you sent me."

Jiang Shuyi lowered her head: "I think your voice is suitable for singing that kind of song."

"What kind of song?"

"When we passed that store, "Where Are You" was playing in the store."

"oh……"

Zhou Zhi really likes that song, and has sung it countless times in his previous life, but it's a bit sad because it was a song he fell in love with after breaking up with Jiang Shuyi, a song for longing and healing.

Now Jiang Shuyi said that this song suited her, which gave Zhou Zhi a magical feeling.

When watching this familiar song yesterday, Zhou Zhi discovered for the first time that the composer was actually Lu Guanting.

That is, the one who wrote "The Love of My Life" for "Westward Journey".

After dinner, I bought a new game console, Subarva, and a pirated all-in-one game cartridge. These two items are exactly the same in content as Zhu Dazhang’s Famicom and cartridge, but the price is only one-fifth of the price.

.

Those two red and white computers are probably not going back, and the naughty kids will break them in half a year. This can be used to show compensation.

Of course, Zhou Zhi guessed that Miss Sixth Sister would not accept it at all.

This shopping trip was actually to take Jiang Shuyi out to relax. In the evening, Zhou Zhi gave her the radio player and asked her to listen to it first.

The next day, Saturday, Zhou Zhi took Zhang Lu and set off early in the morning to Chunxi Road.

There is an arts and crafts mall on Chunxi Road, with a professional counter selling antiques.

They are all antiques with clearly marked prices, and most of them are from official kilns.

The price of antique porcelain now has begun to rise a bit compared to 1987, but it is still at a low level. Gongmei Mall is a state-owned unit, so things are still clearly marked with prices.

In the stores in Shudu, the prices are still at the same level as those in the capital in 1987.

But there are many good things here, and literature and history are equally important. When Zhou Zhi and Zhang Lu arrived, Gu Kailai and Chi Xueli were already sitting in the manager's office drinking tea.

Zhou Zhi brought almost all the cash this time. In addition to what Miss Sixth Sister gave him at the time, there was also money earned from the computer stall, totaling six thousand yuan.

Seeing Zhou Zhi and Zhang Lu coming over, Gu Kailai said to the manager: "This little friend, Zhou Zhi, is very valued by my father and grandfather."

The manager stood up: "Zhou Xiaoyou."

Zhou Zhi waved his hand quickly: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm only a sophomore in high school. Manager, just call me by my name."

The favor shown to Zhou Zhi by the three generations of the Gu family made Chi Xuelia quite appreciative: "There is a high school sophomore like you!"

The manager smiled and said: "My name is classmate Zhou. I heard that classmate Zhou is interested in porcelain, calligraphy and painting? I'm not exaggerating. Our Art and Crafts Mall has a lot of items from famous modern calligraphy and painting artists."

Nowadays, the auction of modern Chinese calligraphy and painting in Hong Kong and Taiwan has begun to rise, but the wind has not yet blown into the mainland, let alone the mainland.

"It's good to appreciate it." Zhou Zhi is very humble.

The most famous collection of Shuchuan Gongmei Shopping Mall is naturally Zhang Daqian.

However, this thing is now very expensive, costing tens of thousands per foot. Mainly due to the fact that several auctions in Hong Kong have hyped it up.

But apart from him, the remaining calligraphers such as Qi Baishi, Fan Zeng, Huang Binhong and Liu Bingsen are only one hundred and one feet tall.

Qi Baishi's things will only be only 210 square feet in ten years.

Moreover, the current ruler is different from that of later generations.

Today's ruler is the name for the standard size of rice paper, referring to the specifications of the paper.

For example, a four-foot square is sixty-eight centimeters times sixty-eight centimeters, four square feet.

An eight-foot piece of paper is twenty-seven square feet, and now the price is only based on eight feet.

A masterpiece by a famous artist can be won for eight hundred yuan.

This was still several years too late. In 1983, Xu Huachi spent 200,000 yuan to buy 9,000 calligraphy and paintings by famous modern artists from the History Museum, which was a big mistake.

Painters' works usually become valuable only after the person dies.

Finally, Zhou Zhi bought two very colorful Chinese paintings after careful selection.

One is "Ten Thousand Rivers and Thousands of Mountains" by Li Keran, and the other is "The Lion Grove" by Wu Guanzhong.

Among them, "Ten Thousand Rivers and Thousands of Mountains" uses a PS-like technique, adding a high-light background to the general's route up the mountain and the scene of the victorious meeting on the top of the mountain, and uses the edge-deepening technique for the outline of the distant mountains, which can be regarded as an experimental breakthrough for the painter.

"Lion Grove" is a bunch of random lines and color dots. Even if it is said to be a traditional Chinese painting, it can only be called "color ink".

Both paintings are still deviant at present, so the price is not high, but as the painter's reputation grows, these two paintings will become the pioneering works after their innovative techniques mature.

Significance.

Zhou Zhi's choice made both the manager and Gu Kailai frown. Young people really like this kind of unconventional things.

The conscience of heaven and earth, "The Lion Grove" is really new, Master Wu's work in 1988.

But "Ten Thousand Rivers and Thousands of Mountains" means "Ten Thousands of Rivers and Thousands of Mountains Just Waiting", which is Master Li's masterpiece in 1964.

In fact, Zhou Zhi doesn't know much about calligraphy and painting. I bought these two paintings purely to give the manager face and to make a good start for future transactions.

The Qianlong famille rose vase, the Ming and He Erxian Jiang jars, and a long-neck vase dated to Shuchuan Gongmei from a folk kiln in the Ming Dynasty.

The shape of this bottle is indeed not in line with the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty. The belly of the bottle is relatively short and collapsed, the neck of the bottle has a string pattern, and the lines of the long neck are not graceful at all. There is a small plate on the top, and the color is not very colorful, gray.

, except for the beautiful opening and the regular shape of the vessel, which has the characteristics of an official kiln, there is almost nothing worthy of praise.

Therefore, Shuchuan Gongmei cut it off and fired it in a folk kiln in the Ming Dynasty. There is actually nothing wrong with it.

But it was precisely because of these "defects" in this bottle that Zhou Zhi recognized it at a glance. He had seen it in the Hangzhou Museum in his previous life.

Southern Song Dynasty official kiln string pattern long-neck bottle.

Although it has been classified as something from the Ming Dynasty, which can be divided into early Ming and late Ming Dynasty, the price of this thing is also the most expensive among the three pieces of porcelain, 2,000.

The remaining two pieces were in excellent condition and were considered high-quality products here, which also resulted in a certain premium. The Qianlong Pastel Dashang vase cost 1,200 yuan, and the Ming Dynasty Hehe Erxian Jiangjun jar cost 1,800 yuan.

Six thousand sixty-six dollars were removed from four items. This is why Zhou Zhi did not dare to bring Jiang Shuyi here. If she knew that Zhou Zhi dared to spend money like this, she would definitely be frightened.

Zhang Lu was not under any pressure, because he had no concept of money at all, and he was also very interested in the things Zhou Zhi took him to see.

At this point, Zhou Zhi's savings some time ago, the foundation of a household worth ten thousand yuan, has basically been completely wiped out.

It’s also because there are so many good things everywhere these days that it’s really hard to give them up.

After carefully putting the things into the brocade box prepared by the manager, Zhou Zhi and Zhang Lu said goodbye to Gu Kailai and Chi Xueli, which was considered a long farewell.

Chi Xueli told Zhou Zhi to study hard, and Gu Kailai was even more frightened by Zhou Zhi's large purchase. Of course, he was not referring to this time, but to the two tomes "History of the Song Dynasty" and "Zizhi Tongjian Changbian".

She earnestly warned him that his studies should be the most important thing, and he should first cross the threshold of university, and then everything would be fine.

"Let's take a walk." Zhang Lu suggested.

"Take a walk?" Zhou Zhi was a little confused: "There are so many people passing by in Chunxi, and we are bringing porcelain..."

"Then take a seat." Zhang Lu pointed to a bench on the side of the road.

"Oh, that's good." Zhou Zhi was a little confused, and he had been sitting there for a long time: "Maybe this way, there is Ling Tang Yuan and Long Chao Shou nearby, which are both famous snacks. Let me treat you. Thank you.

Come with me to buy something."

"Yeah, not bad."

The business of Long Chao Shou was so good that Zhang Lu still chose Ling Tangyuan.

Ling Tangyuan not only sells glutinous rice balls, but also sells leaf cake, miscellaneous sauce noodles, and sweet noodles.

Zhang Lu ate a glutinous rice dumpling, and suddenly said to Zhou Zhi, who was about to eat a glutinous rice dumpling. "I also wrote a letter to Shu Yi."

The glutinous rice balls in Zhou Zhi's spoon fell into the bowl at once.

"Not only me, but also Zhang Weiran."

Zhou Zhi was so shocked that he couldn't help but start to use nonsense words to cover up his feelings: "It probably makes sense for us to be able to talk. At least... that... taste... is the same?"

"We also know that Shu Yi actually likes you." Zhang Lu buried his head in eating glutinous rice balls again: "But whoever she likes is her right, and whoever we like is also our right, right?"
