"It's hard to find furniture made of red sandalwood. This material is hard to find now, it's so rare."
Wang Mantang frowned when he heard that the furniture Liu Guangqi wanted to repair was made of red sandalwood.
"I just thought of it. You are a master craftsman in the woodworking industry and know many people. Think about it, who still has red sandalwood material in their home? I can pay for it, or even exchange it for food. As long as I have it, it will be fine. .”
"I remember that Old Lu's family seems to have some, but not much. Well, after dinner, I will go with you to take a look at the things to see if they are badly damaged. If the little ingredients from Old Lu's are enough, that's fine. If it’s not enough, I’ll find a way for you and I’ll make sure to fix it for you.”
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."
"The food is here"
While talking, Ya'er had already fried the bacon brought by Liu Guangqi and served it.
"It smells so good. This little girl is very good at her craftsmanship. She's so capable. I don't know which one will be cheaper in the future. I'm going to eat them all. Why are you standing there in a daze?"
Looking at the fragrant bacon, Wang Mantang's family was so greedy that their saliva almost flowed out, but they still refused to touch the kuaizi. Seeing this, Liu Guangqi could only use his kuaizi to grab a piece of meat, and then Wang Mantang and his family started to move.
"Brother Guangqi, where did you get the bacon? It's so delicious."
After eating, Liu Guangqi took Wang Mantang and walked towards Liu Lan, together with Wang Guoying who was joining in the fun.
"You want to eat, I'll get you two more later."
Liu Guangqi said politely.
"OK"
Faced with the temptation of bacon, Wang Guoying agreed without even thinking.
"What's wrong with you? You're just greedy. You're such a big girl and you don't have any restraint at all. She just wants to eat Dr. Liu. Don't listen to her nonsense."
Wang Mantang glared at his eldest daughter.
"It's okay, kid. It's the time when your body is growing. I'll get you two more pieces of bacon later. I think your daughter-in-law seems to be pregnant. She needs to eat more to make up for her loss."
Liu Guangqi doesn't have much else now, but he has so much meat that he can't finish it. After these years of raising, there are now dozens of pigs and sheep in the space. This doesn't include killing them to make bacon and being killed by bears. Big Bear 2 ate it.
[In view of the general environment,
Liu Guangqi didn't plan to exchange grain for anything next. He planned to use meat. Not only was it expensive, but he could also clear out his inventory.
"no, I'm fine"
"It's okay"
…
"My dear, this is the old furniture you mentioned."
Arriving at Liu Lan's house, Wang Mantang's eyes widened as soon as he saw the shabby furniture in the house.
"That's right, that's it."
Seeing Wang Mantang's shocked expression, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. Sure enough, to show off such things, you have to show off to people who know how to do it. Saying this to people who don't know how to do it is just talking to a cow, and his reaction is similar to Liu Lan's. , no sense of achievement at all.
"Where did you get this furniture? The craftsmanship is amazing. It must have been made by the palace manufacturing office."
"You really guessed it right. These things I have are really made by the Palace Manufacturing Office. I took them out of Prince Gong's Mansion."
"Dad, how do you know these things are from the palace manufacturing office?"
Wang Guoying lay down in front of a fallen chair and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why.
"You can't tell it yet. Look at what's withered on this chair. It's a dragon pattern. Do ordinary people dare to wither this? Isn't that just asking for death? And in the past, precious wood like red sandalwood and golden nanmu The wood, especially the large-scale furniture, is generally only used by the royal family, and there are very few people who use red sandalwood to make furniture."
"oh"
After hearing this, Wang Guoying nodded in understanding, and then wandered around Liu Lan's room.
"pretty"
"what a shame"
"Dr. Liu, I've finished reading these things.
, I estimated it to be about the same. Even if it's not enough, I can repair it by taking these apart and piecing them together with old materials. "
With a cry of admiration and a cry of regret, Wang Mantang finished inspecting these dilapidated old furniture.
"That's alright, Master Wang, please see if there is any way to repair this thing."
Liu Guangqi nodded when he heard this, then walked to the kang and lifted up the oilcloth to reveal the red sandalwood throne hidden underneath.
"This is?"
Seeing Liu Guangqi hiding him on the red sandalwood dragon-patterned throne, Wang Mantang was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
After looking at Liu Guangqi in disbelief, he walked towards the throne step by step as if he was possessed, then lovingly touched every line on the throne, carefully smelled the aroma of the red sandalwood, and looked intoxicated. A lustful look.
"Beautiful, so beautiful. I didn't expect that I, Wang Mantang, would live so long and meet such a wonderful treasure. It's really worth it. This should be the throne that Emperor Xianfeng awarded to Prince Gong Yixin. It's so impressive. . It’s just worse than the dragon chair on the Golden Palace. Who did this! Who did this?”
Wang Mantang sighed while walking around the throne. When he wandered behind the throne and saw the crack on his right hind leg, a surge of anger surged directly to his forehead and he shouted at Liu Guangqi.
"Dad, what are you doing? It's just a cracked chair. Why are you yelling at Brother Qi?"
Seeing his father shouting at Liu Guangqi, Wan Guoying immediately stood in front of Liu Guangqi.
"I'm sorry, Doctor Liu, I was so excited that I couldn't hold it back. Don't be surprised."
After being scolded by his daughter, Wang Mantang came to his senses and apologized to Liu Guangqi with an apologetic expression.
"It doesn't matter, my first reaction when I saw this crack was the same as yours. Do you think this thing can be repaired? I don't mean repair it, I mean replace it."
"Yes, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will make this thing exactly the same as before."
Wang Mantang patted his chest and promised.
"That's good"
"Brother Guangqi, why do I feel like this doesn't look like your home? It looks more like a place where a woman lives."
Wan Guoying asked curiously, looking at the orderly furnishings in the room.
"Why do you, a little girl, ask so many questions?"
Looking at his daughter who was asking questions, Wang Mantang scolded her. Wang Mantang noticed this problem when he first came in. The strong smell of powder indicated that the owner of this room must be a woman.
From the way Liu Guangqi came in and out casually, it could be seen that Liu Guangqi had a very close relationship with the owner of this room.
After all, he is a person who came from the old society, and Wang Mantang is not a pedantic person. If the policy did not allow him to do so, he would still have two wives.
"This is my cousin's room. I rented the house for her. I usually make do here when I don't go home at noon."
Liu Guangqi found a reason to go over there.
…
"How's it going? Have you found the cellar within a cellar?"
After chatting with Wang Mantang about the restoration for a long time, Liu Guangqi didn't come back from Liu Lan until evening. As soon as he entered the house, before Liu Guangqi could take a breath, the women at home gathered around him.
"You think this is eating jelly beans, it's so easy. If it were found so easily, Emperor Jiaqing would have found him long ago. When Emperor Jiaqing raided Heshen's house, he dug deep into the ground. . I’ve looked wherever I should.”
Looking at Chen Xueru with shining eyes, Liu Guangqi rolled his eyes at her.
"Then what did you do today?"
Upon hearing that Liu Guangqi had not found the cellar, Chen Xueru and others immediately became weak and lacked interest.
"What are you doing? Hey, you will know by then. I missed a big treasure today. Get me some food quickly and I will go look for it in the cellar tonight."
"What a big treasure"
Hearing that Liu Guangqi had picked up something good, several people gathered around him again, looking directly at Liu Guangqi with a few bright eyes. Liu Guangqi can be said to be a big treasure
It's definitely not easy to get things.
"You'll know when the time comes. Hurry up and cook. I'm going to have a big fight tonight."
Liu Guangqi slapped several people on the buttocks one by one, then sat back on the recliner and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
After having enough wine and food, the night gradually became dark. It's a dark and windy night, and when people are angry and murderous, today is a good time to do bad things.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Liu Guangqi quickly shuttled between the alleys. After spending more than half an hour, Liu Guangqi finally lurked to the west of Prince Gong's Mansion.
When he went to invite Wang Mantang this afternoon, Liu Guangqi was observing the most suitable place to sneak into Prince Gong's Mansion. The interior of Prince Gong's Mansion was definitely not suitable. Although the interior of Prince Gong's Mansion was relatively close to the cellar, there were too many people in the Prince's Mansion, and the crowds were cluttered, and There are also police officers living there, so if anyone accidentally discovers it, it will be troublesome.
If the inside is not good, then we can only start from the outside. Logically speaking, the east side is the most suitable to sneak in, but the yards to the east are all full of people, and there is not an empty yard. Liu Guangqi can't dig tunnels under others' noses, so he might as well be in Find a deserted corner in Prince Gong's Mansion.
Since the inside is not possible, nor is the east, and the distance between the south and the north is too far, the only suitable place is the west. Coincidentally, there is an abandoned and collapsed house in the west. It is perfect to dig a tunnel from this courtyard to Prince Gong's Mansion. It is both private and safe.
"What are you doing? Let me go. I'm telling you, I won't be polite if you try anything again."
Just when Liu Guangqi was about to use apparation to enter the yard. The panicked, bluffing voice of a young girl suddenly came from the alley.
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Liu Guangqi immediately stopped casting spells and walked towards the place where the voice came from.
In three or two steps, Liu Guangqi arrived at the entrance of the alley and took advantage of the street lamp. Liu Guangqi saw three or four arrogant gangsters surrounding a little girl. From time to time, they would extend their hands to the little girl and then be slapped away by the angry little girl.
The little girl surrounded in the middle was just as Liu Guangqi thought just now, she was Ya'er who had been separated from him not long ago.
"What are you doing? Teasing a little girl in the street. Is there any way to do this?"
Seeing that the actions of several gangsters were getting more and more excessive, Liu Guangqi walked out. When encountering this kind of thing, let alone knowing Liu Guangqi, you have to stand up even if you don't know Liu Guangqi. Today's society is not as complicated as it will be in the future, and people's hearts are still very simple.
"Brother Guangqi"
Seeing Liu Guangqi suddenly appeared, Wang Guoying seemed to have seen a savior. He pushed away a gangster and ran towards Liu Guangqi, hiding behind Liu Guangqi.
"Hey, I've met a big guy here. Boy, where are you from? How dare you meddle in my business. Believe it or not, I'll stab you to death."
Seeing the duck fly away, a few gangsters were not in a hurry and wandered around the two of them. One of them took the lead and the gangster took out a dagger that shone with cold light and rubbed it on his face, looking at Liu Guangqi with a ferocious smile.
"Stab me to death. It's such a strong tone. Come on, try stabbing me. I want to see which one is faster, your knife or my gun."
Faced with this situation, Liu Guangqi still took out the starting gun as usual, intending to scare away the gangsters in front of him. However, what surprised Liu Guangqi was that the move that was usually invincible had no effect today.
Seeing the starting gun in Liu Guangqi's hand, several gangsters were startled and pushed back two steps in fear. The leading gangster was no exception. However, after taking a step back, the leading gangster might have thought that It was a bit embarrassing to retreat like this, so he stopped and looked at Liu Guangqi and shouted inwardly.
"Stop fucking me, you are trying to scare me here. Try firing a shot. You won't be able to escape even if you kill me. You seem to be quite educated. You should be an educated college student. I only have one life. I'd rather be a college student." My life is worth it. Here you go, shoot me. Hit me."
"Holy shit"
Liu Guangqi was also a little confused when he saw the little gangster who didn't play his cards according to the routine. Neither does it matter if you shoot, nor does it matter if you don't shoot.
Not firing will only encourage the opponent to lose his arrogance. If he fires, he will reveal his secret. After all, the starting gun
It was still different from a real gun, and it was impossible for him to take out the real gun in this situation.
Snapped
Looking at the situation in front of him, Liu Guangqi quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind. It was definitely not possible to fight head-on. These gangsters were obviously not fuel-efficient lamps at first glance. They probably all fought to the death. If so, There was only Liu Guangqi alone, so Liu Guangqi was definitely not afraid. The problem was that he was still carrying an oil bottle. If these gangsters hurt the little girl, it would be troublesome.
"run"
After thinking for a moment, Liu Guangqi came up with a countermeasure, thirty-six strategies, and walking was the best strategy. He took a starting gun and fired at the leading gangster, then dragged the little girl and ran towards the alley.
"Damn it, it's a fake gun."
Seeing Liu Guangqi running away, the leading gangster quickly reacted. With a shout, he took his younger brothers and chased Liu Guangqi and the others.
"Damn it, these guys came out of nowhere. I've never heard of this guy."
Looking at the gangster chasing after him, Liu Guangqi whispered:
"A few of them used to be students in our school, but they were expelled from the school because they often fought. Their parents didn't care about them. The leader, Wang Hao's parents, all died. They just spent the whole day blindly in the street. Hang around and make a living by being sneaky."
Perhaps after hearing Liu Guangqi's beeping, Ya'er explained to Liu Guangqi.
"No one cares about them?"
"No matter what, they are all minors. The police arrested them several times, and they were detained several times in juvenile detention centers. They were all released in the end."
"I'll go, I'm still a repeat offender."
Seeing the little gangsters approaching him step by step, Liu Guangqi complained and ran towards the street with Ya'er. He thought that no matter how stupid these little gangsters were, they would never commit murder on the street.
Liu Guangqi's idea was wonderful, but he overestimated his familiarity with this terrain.
"I'll go, when did a wall appear?"
Looking at the three-meter-high wall in front of him, Liu Guangqi was suddenly confused. This is really pushing yourself into a dead end.
"You guys run, aren't you pretty good at running? Why don't you run away? Hahaha."
The little gangster took the lead and looked at the two people who had no way to escape, with a wild and ferocious smile on their faces. From this smile, Liu Guangqi judged that the guy in front of him must be mentally abnormal. Either he has lost his mental stimulation, or he has gone crazy and become a pervert.
"Young man, you are still young. You still have a long way to go. The future world is very beautiful. Don't go astray just because of a little unpleasantness in life."
Seeing the gangster approaching step by step, Liu Guangqi tried to use words to influence him. This was the last attempt and the last rescue.
"Fuck you, stop nagging me here. I'm tired of hearing what you said in school. Brothers, please hold this guy down first, and wait until I feel comfortable. Come on you guys again."
However, Liu Guangqi's last rescue effort obviously failed. The other party didn't hear him at all. He signaled to a few of his gangsters, who immediately walked towards Liu Guangqi.
