Chapter 291 No Worse Than You
Chapter 291 No Worse Than You
Of course, it’s not that trading is completely impossible, it’s just a little more troublesome and requires some procedures.
Anyway, these things are his own, so if he wants to sell them, there will be no problem at all.
The most that can happen is that it cannot be sold at auctions, and no one can do anything about private transactions, not even the country can control it.
Soon the salesperson had issued all the tickets, but they were issued one ticket at a time, not all at once.
Holding the ticket, Li Jiayi went to the cashier to pay.
Unfortunately, the total value of more than ten watches is only about four thousand yuan, which is nothing for Li Jiayi who has tens of thousands of yuan in his hands.
After paying the money, I went to pick up the watch, and then came to the antique counter.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, there are very few people selling antiques these days, so there aren't any good things." The salesperson said awkwardly.
"It's ok."
How could Li Jiayi not know what was going on? And he didn't hold out much hope before coming here.
It doesn't matter if you don't have antiques! You can still buy watches. The worst that can happen is that you just need to go to a few more trust stores.
After taking a look around inside and making sure there was nothing good, Li Jiayi walked out of the trust store.
Then he drove his tricycle away. Not only that, he also made a special trip to Nanluoguxiang.
I also saw the courtyard of the Qinman Siheyuan in the TV series, but I didn't go in.
Besides, he just passed by the door, but he didn't see the door god.
Isn’t it said that this person guards the gate every day?
After passing through Nanluoguxiang, Li Jiayi walked south. He wanted to visit the trust store in Wangfujing.
The trust stores in Wangfujing are much bigger than those in Jiaodaokou. This is normal, because the people living here are not ordinary people.
The trust store here also has a lot of good things, and it is even not worse than the Qianmen main store.
The main reason is that there are many foreigners who frequently visit this place, and these foreigners also sell some things here.
"Master Li, you are here, please come in."
This time it was not the clerk, but the owner of the antique counter. He originally wanted to go out, but before he walked out of the door, he met Li Jiayi coming in from outside.
"Boss, do you have anything good?"
"Master Li, there are still some good things, but not many. I don't know what's going on. No one has come to sell antiques for a while. The few good things are still from before."
"It's okay. I'll take as many as I can get. I'm not greedy."
"Yes, yes, you are very generous, Master Li."
Soon the shopkeeper brought Li Jiayi to the antique counter and personally presented several fine antiques in the store to Li Jiayi.
"It's really good stuff."
Li Jiayi has no research on antiques, but he knows the following year numbers!
He doesn't need to identify the authenticity because the trust store dares to sell them, so there is no need to worry about whether they are fake.
So he just needs to look at the year and see when the antique is from.
"How much do you want for these antiques?" Li Jiayi asked the shopkeeper after viewing them.
"Master Li, you give me a total of 1,600 for three antiques."
"Okay, let's issue the ticket!"
Li Jiayi has no habit of bargaining. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but there is no need to.
The price of trust store items will basically not change, which means it is useless to bargain.
In this case, why should Li Jiayi waste his breath? He can just give the required amount directly.
"Okay, Master Li, I'll issue you a ticket right away."
Soon Li Jiayi got the ticket from the shopkeeper, went to pay, and then came back to pick up the items.
After getting the things, Li Jiayi did not go out, but went to the watch counter.
Just as he thought, there are far more good things here than in Jiaodaokou!
Let’s not talk about anything else, just look at these watches, they are at least several times more expensive than those in Jiaodaokou, and these are all good watches.
"Salesman, come here."
"Mr. Li, are you looking at your watch?" the salesperson hurried over and asked.
It’s not that he didn’t see Li Jiayi come in, he was just entertaining other customers.
"Please bring out all these imported watches for me to have a look. Oh, by the way, I don't want Rolex or Plum."
"Okay, Master Li."
The salesperson took out all the watches except the two ones mentioned by Li Jiayi and placed them on the counter.
Li Jiayi first picked up a Vacheron Constantin watch and checked it carefully, and found nothing wrong with it.
And in a trust store, you don't need to worry about buying assembled watches.
It means assembling selected parts of the same watch into one or two pieces.
There are also such things, but they are not sold here, but at the repair counter inside.
They specialize in selling repaired watches, most of which have had parts replaced or had other reasons.
Anyway, in a word, it is not original, but there is one thing! That kind of watch is very cheap.
At least it is one or two times cheaper than the original one. If you just want to show off, then it is absolutely fine.
Li Jiayi would not want a watch like that. After checking the Vacheron Constantin, Li Jiayi picked up a Patek Philippe.
Soon all the watches were checked and there was no problem at all. Some minor flaws were scratches from wearing them. These were minor problems, or even not problems. These watches were old, and it would be abnormal if there were no scratches.
"Give me the ticket!" Li Jiayi said to the salesperson after reading it.
"Okay, Master Li."
It was soon noon, and Li Jiayi had spent nearly 30,000 yuan in the morning.
And he still had nearly 20,000 yuan in cash that he had not spent.
It was almost time for dinner, so he didn't continue. He was not enthusiastic about eating and there was something wrong with his mind.
But Li Jiayi is not a person with ideological problems, so he decided to eat first.
Of course, even though all his family members are here today, he won't go home for dinner, otherwise it would take another hour or so to go back and forth.
It’s so good now. We can just find a small forest or a secluded place to enter the space and eat directly.
There were too many places like this in the imperial capital at that time, so Li Jiayi found one in just a few minutes.
This is a small park. Drive the tricycle into the park and find a forest to drive the tricycle in.
When I entered the space, I immediately felt a lot more comfortable because it was already hot outside.
It's still comfortable in this space! It's neither too hot nor too cold, and the temperature is the same all year round and never changes.
I've been eating meat every day for a while and I'm a bit sick of it, so Li Jiayi prepared a meat dish for lunch, and it was braised beef in soy sauce.
The remaining two dishes are one with coriander salad and the other with garlic sprouts salad.
Especially the cold-mixed garlic sprouts, which is Li Jiayi's favorite! Because it goes well with rice.
But there is one bad thing, which is that you have to brush your teeth after eating, otherwise the smell will be very strong.
After preparing the meal, Li Jiayi poured himself an enamel mug of beer and added some ice cubes.
They ate and drank like this, and after they were full, Li Jiayi hurried to brush his teeth.
Only then did he feel a little better. After drinking some spiritual spring water, Li Jiayi prepared to take a nap.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiayi woke up on time, washed his face, and came out of the space.
Then go to the next trust store.
It wasn't until about four in the afternoon that he had spent all the money.
He had no money and it was so hot outside, so why was he still staying outside? So he drove his tricycle back home.
"Ga-One is back?"
"Yes, Aunt Cheng."
"plus one!"
"Aunt Xu."
"plus one!"
"Uncle Xu!"
There is no way, today is Sunday! Everyone is at home and outside enjoying the cool air.
When you meet someone, you should say hello. What's more, they greet you first, so you can't just ignore them!
Anyway, I finally got home. As soon as I entered the east courtyard, I heard Liao Kai's voice coming from the house.
Needless to say, Liao Kai came over again to get some tea. As for why he didn't say he came to get the electric fan, it's because he has one at home!
So the only reason he stayed here at this time was to drink some tea.
It is even possible that I even had lunch here.
If this is the case, if you don't come back at noon, you will really feel a bit disappointed because you will not be able to eat something delicious.
After Li Jiayi parked the tricycle, he returned to the house and saw Liao Kai drinking tea with Li Aimin.
Xu Wenwen was there too, but she was holding Liao Qingxue and Ye Xin, eating melon seeds and chatting.
As for the eldest sister Li Jiaqi and the second sister Li Jialin, they were both studying in the room and guiding Li Jiafen in her studies.
"Is your son back?" Ye Xin asked casually when she saw him come back, and then started chatting with Xu Wenwen again.
Li Jiayi sat down next to Liao Kai helplessly, and took an enamel mug from the tea tray and poured himself a mug of tea.
"Jiayi, I heard that you will accompany Meilian to Xiang's house next Sunday?" Liao Kai turned his head and asked.
"Uh! You know that too?" Li Jiayi asked helplessly.
"It's not like this is a secret. The reason I'm asking you this is because I don't understand when did you become so concerned about other people's blind dates?"
Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "I have always cared about you! If I didn't care, you might still be single now."
"Uh!" Liao Kai was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong with what you said."
"By the way, Jiayi, I heard that Meilian's blind date is also a chef. You are so familiar with him, what do you think of his cooking skills?"
Li Jiayi took a sip of tea and said, "How should I put it! He should be no worse than you, and he is not even older than you."
He Yuzhu was born in 1935 and is exactly 27 years old this year.
Liao Kai was born in 1933, exactly two years older than He Yuzhu. Of course, this is only about age.
In fact, Liao Kai looks much younger than He Yuzhu. If the two of them walk together, at least ninety-nine out of a hundred people would say He Yuzhu is the older brother.
As for the remaining one, he couldn't see it at all because he was blind.
