Chapter 547 Collecting Treasures in the Village

Chu Chen secretly sighed, although Lujia Village is about to bid farewell to poverty and backwardness, and has found a way in the future, as long as everyone is diligent, they can get rid of poverty and become rich.But as the saying goes, there is nothing wrong with illness. For these villagers without medical insurance, illness is simply unaffordable.

"Yes! Medicare!"

Chu Chen had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought that he could help the villagers of Lujia Village to get medical insurance, but this medical insurance must also pay attention to a method. If the villagers are provided with medical insurance casually, it may cause the villagers to form a mentality of getting something for nothing. , and he is likely to be taken for a fool by the villagers.

Chu Chen definitely wouldn't do such a thing that hurts himself and doesn't benefit others. After thinking about it, he thought that he could provide medical insurance for the villagers in the name of a medicinal material purchase company.

Of course, with so many people in a village, it is likely that some people are not willing to grow forsythia, so some other preferential measures can also be adopted. If there are still people who are unwilling, then he will do his best.

Just as Chu Chen was thinking about the plan, the second fool wiped away his tears, nodded and said, "Yes! I'm going to propose marriage to Er Ya tomorrow!"

The old village head said angrily: "You idiot, Erya is the village flower of their Wangjia Village. Even if you are rich now, do you think her family will agree to this marriage?"

Erya said loudly: "Why don't you agree? When I saw Erya last time, she looked at me for a long time. She must have fallen in love with me!"

"Cut!" A villager snorted and said, "My Erya is short-sighted, so it's okay to see people like this!"

Hearing that this was the case, many villagers burst into laughter.

The second fool said stubbornly: "How do you know that Erya definitely doesn't like me, I must go to propose marriage tomorrow!"

The old village head shook his head with a smile. This fool just doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back. Let's talk about it after he has suffered.

"Chu Wazi, when shall we start?" The old village head asked cautiously. Through yesterday's traffic opening ceremony, he already knew the identity of Chu Yongning, which immediately made him speechless.

It was the same as what Chu Chen thought before, and because of this, the attitude of the old village chief towards him began to change slightly. Although Chu Chen tried to be more amiable in speaking and doing things, the attitude of the old village chief did not change much. Chu Chen was helpless. Under the circumstances, he could only accept this reality.

"Oh! Let's get started!"

Chu Chen came back to his senses, nodded, and sat down at a table.

Then, the old village chief asked the villagers who brought the old objects to line up, and then the villagers put the objects on the table one by one, and let Chu Chen identify them.

As mentioned earlier, when Chu Chen was a child, he heard that this Lujia Village was a descendant of Lu Bu, and moved to this place because he was defeated in the war.However, I learned from the village chief yesterday that the villagers of their Lujia Village were indeed relocated here, but they were not descendants of Lu Bu at all, but moved here because of the war in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

Moreover, the old village head also said that their ancestors had been high officials before, and there were several Jinshi scholars. They can be said to be from a famous family. I lost my softness, and ran to the deep mountains and old forests to take refuge, and this escape has reached the present.

Originally, Chu Chen thought that since he was from a famous family, there should be a lot of good things, not to mention none.

However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. From the first place, the villagers took either copper coins or copper coins, and the tenth one was actually copper coins.

As far as copper coins are concerned, there are many varieties that are very valuable, such as the "one knife equals five thousand" of Lu Fu's family, but the first ten villagers did not even have a single copper coin worth more than one hundred yuan, and they were all very ordinary goods. , which made Chu Chen somewhat disappointed.

In this situation, Chu Chen couldn't help but suspect that these people didn't all show him the copper coins at home because they heard that the coins in Brother Fuquan's house were very valuable?
The facts were exactly as Chu Chen thought. The villagers heard that the coins of Lu Fu’s family were sold for a lot of money, so they all showed Chu Chen their copper coins. Three to five hundred, or even thirty to fifty, three to five yuan is fine.

So next, every villager will more or less show some copper coins to Chu Chen, ranging from a few to dozens or hundreds, and the key point is that none of these copper coins are high-end goods. This made Chu Chen very depressed.

Looking at the hopeful eyes of the villagers, Chu Chen reluctantly let them take the copper coins back, and in the end he could only ask the village chief to help keep the accounts, and he took all the copper coins as they were ordered.

For the villagers, Chu Chen was able to buy these useless copper coins, which made them very happy. Although the money was not much, only a few dollars, but the money can also supplement the family, and they are already very satisfied.

Fortunately, the reality didn't make Chu Chen depressed for long. When it was the big dog's turn, he put a black-looking flowerpot on the table, and then said with a smile: "Wait Chu, This flower pot was also owned by my grandpa's grandfather at that time, can you show me if it is as valuable as the pig food pot of the idiot?"

Before Chu Chen could speak, a villager behind him snorted and said, "I said you are a big dog, but you don't even look at it. There are some patterns on the pig food bowl of the idiot, and you don't want to say anything about this flower pot. It’s still smeared, but you still want to sell it for 3 yuan, are you crazy about money?”

Da Gouzi said with a displeased face: "Whether it can be worth 3 yuan is not up to you! Maybe my flowerpot is worth more than the pig food bowl of the fool?"

"Cut!" There was booing at the scene, almost everyone thought that the big dog was wishful thinking.

The big dog ignored them, and asked Chu Chen with a smile, "Chu Wazi, will you take my flowerpot?"

Chu Chen took a look at Da Gouzi and saw that his hands were tightly clenched into fists, looking very nervous, so he said with a smile, "You wait until I have a look first."

"Okay! Okay!" Da Gouzi nodded repeatedly.

In fact, Chu Chen knew it was a good thing the first time he saw the flower pot brought by Da Gouzi. After he started to take a closer look, he didn't expect it to be a purple sand square pot from the late Ming Dynasty.

As for why the purple sand is black, it is actually very simple, because this is the "black mud" in the purple sand.

The "black mud" in purple sand actually refers to two different varieties.One is to use black mud with a high content of manganese and iron to make embryos, and the fired pottery is jet black.

The other is to use ordinary purple clay to make embryos, and use the method of "covering the ash" to charge and burn them to produce black ones.For a long time, this kind of "black mud" purple sand is actually the defective purple sand with inconsistent color due to uneven fire, so it has to be remedied by "covering the ashes" to burn again to the effect of "black mud".

Now the "black mud" in purple sand is actually purple mud mixed with metal oxides, which is easy to control during firing and has a good color, but the texture is not as good as the "black mud" purple sand produced by the traditional "covering gray" process, which lacks a moist feeling.

The "black mud" square basin in front of us is made of black mud. This square basin adopts the typical style in the late Ming Dynasty.The mud is carefully selected, and the particles are uniform in color and feel smooth, round and comfortable. Although there are particles, they are very round.

Next, Chu Chen listened to the sound again, carefully looked at the characteristics of the pot, such as the luster and coating, and found that this square pot was indeed a black mud square pot from the late Ming Dynasty. This pot looks elegant, restrained, and stable. The overall effect is completely in line with the aesthetics of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it is quite a rare boutique.

Chu Chen put the pot back on the table, and said to the big dog who was sweating nervously, "I'll take this flower pot."

"Really?" Da Gouzi was stunned for a moment, and then asked with surprise.

Seeing that Chu Chen nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case, Big Gouzi couldn't help cheering excitedly.

Seeing Da Gouzi's performance, the villagers at the scene were not only happy for him, but also felt a little envious.

Then someone attacked and said: "I said, big dog, you don't have to be so excited. Although this flower pot was taken by Chu Wazi, it's hard to say whether there are any stupid pig food pots that are worth money!"

As I said before, the villagers like to keep their money secret, and in such a poor place, the same thing sells for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and it is easy for some people to have evil thoughts, so for some unnecessary troubles, Chu Chen decided, If something is bought by him, first record it here in the ancestral hall, and if it is money, it will be settled separately later.

Doing so undoubtedly avoided some risks, and the villagers all agreed.

Da Gouzi didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "Even if it's not that valuable, you can buy a bicycle no matter how bad it is. A flowerpot can be exchanged for a bicycle, it's worth it!"

Big Gouzi's open-minded attitude made Chu Chen chuckle. If he knew that this square basin was more valuable than the second fool's copper basin, I don't know what expression he would have.

Soon, six more villagers took out their own things. Except for copper coins, four of them took out things that could only be said to be old objects, not antiques. The other two took out a The blue and white bowl from the Republic of China period, and the other is a water injection made in the late Ming Dynasty.

The blue and white bowls from the Republic of China period cost only a few tens of dollars, and the water injection bowl was okay, but because it was a little damaged, the value was also affected. Chu Chen estimated that it was around 2000 yuan.

The next villager, Chu Chen is also very familiar with, is the father of a very good friend of his when he was young, and his name is Lu Ping.

After greeting Lu Ping, Chu Chen asked, "Uncle Ping, how is Ah Wang doing now?"

"Hi! Don't mention it!" Lu Ping sighed: "This brat sends letters home every month, and calls the old principal every now and then, but he never mentions the matter of going home. It's already 22, and we don't even know if we have a partner, we are all anxious to death!"
