Chapter 74 Buying Copper Coins Again

Long Jianhua didn't bother to have dinner and walked up the mountain with Chen Shengfan.

The head of this family is Zou Yueqing. He belongs to a large family in the north of the mountain and lives in a huge courtyard. His ancestors once served as officials in Jiangjiang and Ganzhou and Huzhou provinces, one of which was a salt road envoy.

The reason why Chen Shengfan knew that his family had copper coins was that he met a brigade when he was patrolling the mountain. Some people said that his family found a lot of copper coins and wanted to send them to the supply and marketing cooperative, but they did not sell them because they were too cheap.

The courtyard covers an area of ​​more than 20 acres. When you walk into the gate, you can see the main hall 80 meters away. All buildings are symmetrical and arranged in an orderly manner with the center of the main hall as the central axis; there are walls between the buildings, separated by patios, corridors and corridors. Even if you have seen many ancient buildings, Long Jianhua was shocked by this huge courtyard.

After constantly asking people, the two of them found his house along a narrow alley and saw that nine of them were preparing to have a meal. His house was indeed messy, with some agricultural items piled up in the dining room, and you could also see baskets, sanitary bulbs and pans in the inner room.

After confirming that it was Zou Yueqing, Long Jianhua asked him, "I heard that you have copper coins to sell? If the price is right, I can buy it."

Zou Yueqing was very straightforward, "Sell it! But can you buy it all? Is there so much money? 8,800?"

"So many, don't you keep some?"

"Why are you keeping that thing? You have also seen the situation in my family. Nine people, young and old, live in five rooms and can't squeeze them away. They have to run far away even if they are drying something. It's very inconvenient... I heard that this can be sold for five cents per person."

His son muttered beside him, "You can take all of it with 440 yuan, and we can build a new house as soon as possible."

Long Jianhua asked with a smile, "What should I do when building a new house?"

Zou Yueqing said depressedly, "What else can I do? Stay here, this is the ancestral property..." He stopped immediately and asked, "If you really want to buy it, I will find it for you to show it."

Long Jianhua smiled and said, "Of course I really want to buy it. Take it out."

Zou Yueqing walked to the inner room and took out three small wooden boxes. Long Jianhua took them and opened them. He found that there were three different coins, one hundred in each box. One box was Zhongyuan Datou, the other box was Xianfeng Tongbao, and the third box was Qianlong Tongbao, which was very good in appearance. Each wooden box had a different size, and it was able to put down a hundred.

Another person with a collectible consciousness.

Long Jianhua was a little excited, "Okay, take it out, I want it all."

Zou Yueqing stood up and asked his wife and son to walk into the inner room together. He immediately saw them moving baskets, baskets and tulips outside the room. Then, the sound of moving furniture came from inside.

After a while, Zou Yueqing and his son each walked out of the inner room with a basket, "There are 85 boxes here. You count, 8,500, none of them are missing."

I don’t know what material these wooden boxes are made of, and they are also simple to make, but a layer of tung oil is painted on the surface of the wooden board and coins, which means that they are prepared.

When Long Jianhua and Chen Shengfan were about to finish the inventory, Zou Yueqing's wife asked, "We have a lot of them here, will you still accept them?"

Long Jianhua smiled and said, "We can still collect some. But we only have two of us and can't afford a lot."

She immediately walked out of the house and disappeared into the narrow alley. Soon some women and children came to his house with coins in bamboo baskets...

At nine-20, the two of them each carried a full load of coins into Long Jianhua's home. As soon as they put them down, they sat there and gasped.

After ten minutes of rest, Long Jianhua stood up and said, "Shengfan, let's eat here tonight, drink two glasses, stir-fry the sparrow and drink wine."

"Okay! I'll deal with the sparrows, you cook."

When the food was served, Chen Shengfan laughed, "Uncle Jianhua, you are too big-handed. Not only did you fry all the sparrows, you can also see the oil below."

"Isn't it oil pressed today? I still lack that?" Instead, he said, "I will go back to Shajuan City tomorrow. I want to ask a few people to help me get these things back. Two tumbles of copper coins, one hundred and two hundred kilograms of oil, and two hundred kilograms of sweet potato chips... many, at least six people are needed."

"It's snowing now, and everyone has nothing to do, there are many people. I guess many people want to go to Shajuan City to see our capital."

"Then go more. I'll cover all the expenses in Shajuan City."

"How can I ask you to cover it? I tell you, except for my family, the rest are good now, and which one does not earn more than a thousand yuan?"

"You are different. I have built such a big house and just split up my family. I have less money in terms of money, but I live in the most spacious. In terms of living, I can only compare with the entire Ninth Team, haha."

"Uncle Jianhua, we all envy you. After studying, you can fight, be generous, dare to spend money, never be wronged in eating, and you can always eat different meats from you."

Long Jianhua smiled and said, "You haven't read many books, that's not your fault. Now all the children of the right age in the team are studying, which is very good. As for other aspects, I always feel that my body is the first priority, money is secondary, and having a good body can make more money; to have a good body, you need to have meat, and you have to find a way to solve it."...

After drinking a bottle of wine, the two ate the meal and then began to nail the wooden box. Last time they picked up the basket and went home, Long Jianhua suffered a lot and would not make the same mistake again this time.

When buying coins, Chen Shengfan also paid 50 yuan and said that he wanted to buy some and stay there. So after nailing the wooden box, the two of them simply divided the types of coins and asked him to get them in different types in proportion.

Except for knowing that the money in the treasury is very valuable in the future, Long Jianhua knows nothing about anything else. He buys and sells coins just to get more cash quickly, and has no desire to become a collector.

At 7 o'clock in the morning on the 30th, Chen Shengfan and Chen Liqian, Chen Yuanshan, Chen Lisheng, Chen Liqiang, Chen Lishi and six others came to Long Jianhua's house.

Seeing Long Jianhua catching sparrows from the sieve, Chen Liqian laughed, "Jianhua, I have to grab a handful before I go home and prepare to eat fresh ones at home?"

Long Jianhua turned around and saw six people. He thought he was relieved and smiled, "Come to my house to fry sparrows for you to eat. Shengfan ate my fried sparrow last night, and he said it tasted very good."

Chen Shengfan laughed and said, "So much oil, it's good to not eat vegetables... Uncle Jianhua, we just discussed on the road and planted camellia trees on a large scale in the spring. The oil production was so small the year before, because we didn't do it well after picking it back, which led to a low oil yield."

Chen Lishi asked, "Jianhua, do you really have to come back after the New Year this time?"

Long Jianhua laughed, "It's so thick that I can't do anything now. It's better to spend time with my family at home."

Chen Lishi said with some regret, "We are still discussing, saying that everyone is free now and is planning to go and catch wild boars. See if we can get some wild boar meat."

Hearing this, Long Jianhua said seriously, "When you go to fight wild boars, be sure to be safe. Everyone has seen tigers and leopards, and a group of five wild boars, but I saw eleven that day. With such thick snow, tigers and wild boars are easy to see, but leopards are different..."
