How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 10 Galloping Horses

Of course, he didn't buy this wine to drink it, but to take it back to the real world.

"The total is four hundred and seventy thousand."

After the salesperson took out Moutai and Xifeng and placed them on the counter, he said to Li Le.

Moutai is 30,000, Xifeng is 17,000, which is exactly 470,000.

Li Le took out the money, counted out 470,000, handed it over and said, "Is there anything to put it in? Otherwise, I won't be able to take it all!"

"Please wait a moment. I will find you a box."

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded.

Soon the salesperson brought a box, but it was not a cardboard box, but a wooden box.

Moreover, this wooden box is just made of a few wooden boards, and it can probably only hold some bottles and jars. It will be full if you put other things in it.

The wooden box is quite large, so it can definitely hold twenty bottles of wine. Today's wine is different from that of later generations. It doesn't have a packaging box and doesn't take up space.

After the salesperson packed it up, Li Le walked out with it in his arms.

Just as he reached the door, he remembered something and stopped to ask, "Do you have Niulanshan jars of wine here?"

The salesperson shook his head and said, "No, if you want to buy Niulanshan in a jar, I guess you have to go to the factory to buy it."

"All right!"

After Li Le put away the wine, he returned to the main road from the alley, looked up at the sun, felt that the time was almost up, and walked towards Liulichang.

At the entrance of the Ancient Painting Studio, Li Le looked inside and saw that there were quite a lot of people. It was not crowded, but it was almost crowded.

But Li Le went in anyway. Regardless of whether he would buy anything or not, it would be nice to go in and see the world!

After entering, Li Le discovered that all four walls were hung with various calligraphy and paintings. Although Li Le did not understand calligraphy and paintings, he still recognized the names on them.

Zheng Banqiao, Tang Bohu, Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi and so on.

There are ancient calligraphy and paintings as well as modern calligraphy and paintings. Of course, there are many more that Li Le has never heard of.

Moreover, the prices are marked below these calligraphy and paintings.

Especially ancient calligraphy and paintings, the prices are outrageous, ranging from tens of millions to several million. On the contrary, calligraphy and paintings by modern painters are relatively cheap.

For example, Xu Beihong's Galloping Horses and Qi Baishi's Herding Cows are both relatively cheap, with the Galloping Horses costing only around 300,000 yuan.

Qi Baishi's "Pasturing Cows" is even cheaper, with a price tag of only 250,000 yuan, which may be because the painting is not very famous.

If it is a painting of ink shrimp, the price may be higher, after all, Qi Baishi's shrimp paintings are the most famous.

But even if it is a black shrimp picture, the price is estimated to be limited. After all, it is not decades later now.

This made Li Le a little eager to make a move. Yes, it was estimated that no one among these people now would have thought that these two paintings would be extremely expensive in a few decades.

The reason why Li Le was eager to make a move was that the people in the store did not focus on the two paintings, but were staring at the ancient calligraphy and paintings.

It’s better to strike first! Li Le found the clerk, handed him 550,000 yuan and said, “I want those two paintings.”

"Uh!" The clerk was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll pack it for you right away."

The reason why the clerk was stunned for a moment was probably because he didn't expect Li Le to make a move so quickly.

Because other people were still looking at the paintings and discussing them.

"Ok!"

"Li Le!"

Just at this moment, Master Liu came from somewhere and shouted.

"Master Liu!"

"Did you buy a painting?" asked Mr. Liu.

I guess he came over because he saw Li Le doing business with the clerk.

"Yes! I bought two modern paintings." Li Le nodded and said. "Modern paintings?" Mr. Liu was surprised.

Basically everyone will buy ancient calligraphy and paintings. Although the price will be more expensive, antiques are more valuable as they get older.

As for modern paintings, basically no one considers them, even if they are very good, because they are not valuable!
"Yes, you know, I like collecting. It doesn't matter whether it's an antique or not, as long as it's real."

Hearing what Li Le said, Master Liu nodded and said, "That's true. As long as it's true, there will be room for appreciation in the future."

"Ok!"

"Whose calligraphy and painting did you buy?" Grandpa Liu asked again.

"Paintings by Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi! I felt they were particularly good, so I bought them." Li Le scratched his head stupidly and said.

"Not bad, not bad. These two are both masters. Their paintings are really good. In ten or twenty years, their value will definitely increase."

As for why Master Liu said ten or twenty years later, Li Le knew it very well.

This brings us to a phenomenon in the calligraphy and painting world, that is, a person's calligraphy and paintings are worthless while he is still alive.

Just then, the clerk came over holding two paintings and asked, "Comrade, would you like to see them?"

Li Le was about to say no when he was pulled back by Master Liu.

Then Master Liu said to the clerk, "Open it and take a look!"

"Ok!"

The clerk opened the two paintings one by one. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with the paintings, Master Liu said to the clerk, "Wrap them up!"

"Hey! I'll wrap it up for you right away."

"Master Liu! You..."

Before Li Le could finish, Master Liu interrupted him and said, "Boy, didn't I tell you? The water here is very deep, so you must be cautious at all times."

"Uh!" Li Le was stunned for a moment, nodded and whispered: "I understand, Master Liu, you were just afraid that someone would switch the package."

"That's right!"

While the two people were talking, they were staring at the clerk.

Li Le was also sweating. If he hadn't opened it just now, what if someone had swapped it, then it would be a disaster.

I guess even if he got it back, the other party would not acknowledge it, after all, the money and goods have been paid, and Li Le has left the store again.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu!" Li Le expressed his gratitude sincerely.

"polite!"

The two stopped chatting only after the clerk handed the packaged painting to Li Le.

Then follow everyone to look at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

To be honest, looking at these calligraphy and paintings, Li Le was jealous! Unfortunately, he couldn't afford them, even the cheapest ones, he couldn't afford them now.

Because he only had less than three million yuan on him now, and the cheapest of these ancient calligraphy and paintings cost several million.

However, Li Le is already very satisfied, because so far, he has three antiques and two paintings and calligraphy by famous artists.

After watching for about an hour, some people had already started trading. Li Le turned around and said to Master Liu, "Master Liu, you go ahead and do your thing. It's almost time for me to go back."

Li Le knew that Master Liu would definitely make a deal soon and he would delay things here, so he said goodbye.

"Okay, go back! I'll pick a few paintings to play with."

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded and left.

This time, Li Le did not put the calligraphy and paintings into the space, but took them back directly. After all, they were just two paintings and were not heavy.

After returning home, Li Le went to the east room, which was the room he lived in before and has now been designated as the crossing location.
