Chapter 243: Harvest in the Sangyu (One Chapter Is Returned Today and One Chapter Is Still Owed)
Han Li visited the two mansions of Ski***'s family one by one, and the nearest one had changed a lot.
Then he came to the mansion in Nangang District, but after arriving, Han Li found that he could only watch from a distance and could not get close.
This mansion was well preserved for some special reasons, and was surrounded by a high iron fence in front.
The overall structure of the mansion is a symmetrical "concave" shape. This is a garden-style building in the style of a villa in the style of classicalism.
Its exterior wall is a large area of turmeric as the base color, and white is used as embellishment and decoration.
The overall three-dimensional surface decoration is very sophisticated, making people look elegant and solemn.
It is said that this mansion has two floors above ground and one floor underground. There is a 100-square-meter ballroom inside. The interior decoration is exquisite, graceful and gorgeous, with various functions and facilities.
In various situations, even if it is placed in the general mansions of later generations, it is not enough to look at it. Unfortunately, Han Li cannot get close.
Then Han Li went to the consulates that were originally located here. Unfortunately, most of them were moved for state use, and they were the kind that he could not easily get into.
However, Han Li has always been a very contented person. He was very satisfied with the gains of the past two days, so he naturally would not take the risk to sneak in like he did on the first day.
Then Han Li calmed down and started to travel around like a tourist according to the news he heard.
Han Li's luck seemed to get better after he relaxed. When he passed by the ruins of a mansion, he saw a few boys coming out of the yard cursing.
"Bah, I saw it was locked here, I thought there was something good, so I took a lot of effort to pry it open, but there was nothing inside."
After the boys left, Han Li began to observe the yard.
This is an old three-story house, and the outer wall has fallen off.
Standing on the street, you can clearly see that there is a huge elm tree in the yard. Although there are no leaves now, you can still see that it has not been trimmed for a long time, and it is growing wildly in all directions.
The street gate is very high, thick, and large, but now it is mottled and has revealed its original texture.
Han Li was curious and wanted to go in and take a look. After stepping over the high threshold, he found that the yard inside was also not small.
A bluestone road about one meter wide was laid in the yard, but the two sides of the road were now covered with dead grass as tall as a person.
This dilapidated appearance was simply indescribable, and it gave Han Li a feeling of entering a deserted village.
Han Li walked along the bluestone road to the living room on the first floor, and the situation in front of him made him curse in his heart.
Because the entire first floor was destroyed here, the original things inside might have been moved away.
All the floors were pried up, and some places were even dug into deep pits.
The walls were smashed into pits and bumps. Was this caused by looking for a hidden secret room?
The glass on the doors and windows was gone, leaving only empty frames, and some even had no frames.
There was garbage and dust all over the ground, spider webs all over the walls, and feces and hair of various animals. There was also a faint smell of decay floating in the room.
Han Li estimated that this was caused by people who came in to look for money, but the house was basically ruined.
Han Li took a look at the surrounding situation and wondered if it was necessary to use mental power to check it?
So he walked up to the second floor. Because those people also wanted to go upstairs, the stairs were not damaged.
But Han Li felt something was wrong before he climbed a few steps. This staircase gave people a very solid and firm feeling, and there was no thumping sound like the ordinary wooden stairs.
Han Li broke the guardrail next to it with a punch, and took a breath of cold air when he looked at it. He often picked trees in the mountains in the past six months, and he could basically recognize many woods at a glance.
I don’t know who the owner of this house is. The entire staircase, including the handrails and guardrails, is made of whole pieces of red pine wood.
When Han Li came to the second floor, he found that the situation here was similar to that of the first floor. The floor was all pried open, the wall was smashed into potholes, and there were traces of sharp weapons on the door and window.
Seeing this, Han Li was too lazy to go up to the third floor. He stood at the stairs and stretched out his mental power to start checking.
The situation on the third floor was the same, but because there were several holes on the roof, there were many water marks on the ground and walls, which looked worse than the first and second floors.
However, when Han Li used his mental power to check the second floor, he immediately found something different. He found a very large wardrobe in the room facing the sun. This should be the master's bedroom.
The entire wardrobe occupied most of the wall in the room. Since the wardrobe was embedded in the wall, it was not greatly damaged. Only a few marks of being cut by knives and axes were left on the surface.
The wardrobe was covered with dust, bird droppings, spider webs, and even traces of birds making nests.
This made Han Li not care at all at first, but when he was about to withdraw his mental power, he found something wrong.
There were many wood boils on the wood of this wardrobe. Wood boils can easily crack from here.
If this situation happens in ordinary people's homes, they will generally put the location with the wood boil in an unimportant place and use it as a makeshift.
But the owner of this house even uses a whole piece of red pine wood for the stairs. How could he allow the wardrobe he touches every day to use such defective wood?
So Han Li carefully checked the wardrobe. These wood boils were very flat. It was unknown how long the wood boils had been exposed, but they still hadn't cracked.
Moreover, these wood boils actually showed textures like fox heads and old man heads, which looked extremely beautiful.
After observing this, Han Li's heart suddenly paused, and then he ran quickly to the room of the wardrobe.
He took out a piece of cloth and carefully wiped off the dust on it, and the original color of the wiped part was immediately revealed.
The wood of the wardrobe is very special, its texture is very clear and the visual sense is excellent. These textures look as beautiful as flowing clouds and water, and they feel as smooth as baby skin when you touch them.
Han Li leaned over and took a deep sniff. In addition to the odor left by birds, there was also a faint and pleasant wood fragrance.
Then he took two deep breaths as if he didn't believe it. The fragrance of the wood was accompanied by a refreshing feeling.
Han Li was so happy that he almost couldn't help laughing.
This was Huanghuali, and those wood boils were the most precious "ghost faces" that people said.
Han Li really didn't expect that someone would use precious Huanghuali to make a wardrobe that occupied most of the wall.
The owner of this house must have been a wealthy family at that time, otherwise he couldn't afford to use Huanghuali wood to make furniture.
Even if the clothes were placed inside to avoid insects and ants, and to give the clothes a faint fragrance, he actually used so much Huanghuali to make such a large wardrobe.
Han Li then looked at the room that was destroyed beyond recognition, thinking that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat.
There must have been a lot of treasures in this house at that time, but now they have all been taken away by those greedy people.
Even so, they had to dig three feet underground to find the place where the treasure was hidden in the house, and every time the lock was pried open, someone would come in and patronize it.
However, culture and vision are very important at all times. No one recognized such a treasure when it was put in the open.
But it’s good that way. The treasure they couldn’t find will belong to them.
You should know that this is precious Huanghuali. In later generations, there is a saying that "an inch of wood is worth an inch of gold".
Huanghuali is also called Dalbergia odorifera, and it is also a very precious Chinese medicine.
Han Li recalled the records in "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine", and "Volume of Traditional Chinese Medicine".
Grinding with water can treat various pains, and it can also be ground into powder for external application to stop pain and stop bleeding. It is an excellent analgesic.
The aroma is mainly used to treat rheumatism, low back pain, vomiting blood, heart and stomach pain, hypertension and other symptoms.
Huanghuali also has the effects of relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation, lowering blood pressure and blood lipids.
Pillows made of Huanghuali sawdust have the effects of relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation and improving sleep, especially suitable for the elderly.
If Huanghuali is made into beds, chairs and stools, it is most beneficial for sleep and rest.
Han Li thought happily that even if it was only this wardrobe made of huanghuali, his trip would be worth it.
After two years of settling down, he could dismantle this wardrobe to make a bed set for Han's father and mother, and the remaining materials could be torn into beads and strung into strings for his wife and sister-in-law, each of which could improve their health if they wore them for a long time.
If he was richer, he could also make a string, and after get off work, he would play with the string, drink tea, squat with dogs, play with birds, and raise crickets.
Han Li was thinking about all kinds of things in his mind, but his speed was not slow at all.
The decomposition ability directly moved the entire wardrobe from the wall to the decomposition space, and the original wall became a large pit.
Han Li checked here again and found that there was nothing left, so he walked down from the second floor.
Then he checked the first floor and the yard in detail, but unfortunately there was no dark room or anything like that.
Han Li looked at the withered weeds in the yard and the abandoned three-story building, sighed at the impermanence of the world, repeatedly told himself to keep a low profile, and finally sighed and left quickly.
After coming out of here, Han Li went to the medicinal materials company first, took out the certificate and bought some medicinal materials he needed personally.
Han Li carried these medicinal materials to the post office and checked them all back.
(Things on the surface need to be handled.)
However, when going through the formalities, Han Li found that this was indeed the post office of Bingcheng, and the number and variety of stamps inside were simply too many.
Han Li had never collected stamps in his previous life, but he knew that some stamps of this period and some early stamps were very valuable in later generations.
However, Han Li bought stamps not to make money, but for favors. This thing is more useful than real gold and silver if used well.
Thinking of this, Han Li smiled and asked the girl at the counter.
"Comrade, do you sell full sheets of stamps at your post office?"
Han Li originally thought that the service attitudes were all the same, but he didn't expect the girl to be so quiet but very enthusiastic.
"Comrade, are you also a stamp collector?"
"Haha, I collect stamps, but it's not really a hobby. I just have some spare money now and want to preserve the present time. You see, this kind of stamps can really reflect our current life."
The little girl nodded repeatedly when Han Li said it, and then said enthusiastically.
"There seems to be some stamps from previous years in the warehouse. Do you want them?"
"Yes, of course the more comprehensive the commemoration is, the better. It would be better if it is a full page of stamps."
"Then wait a moment. I'll go to the warehouse and look for it for you. You can choose whatever you want when it comes over."
"Thank you so much."
"Thank you, you're welcome. It's rare to meet a stamp collector. I also like to collect stamps, but it's a pity that the money in my pocket doesn't allow me."
Han Li watched the little girl go back. To be honest, he was a little dizzy at this enthusiastic attitude.
For a moment, it felt like I had returned to the era of free economy, where every waiter greeted everyone with a smile.
By this time, Han Li's package had been weighed and packed, he had paid for it and received the receipt, and just in time the little girl came back.
Holding a green kraft paper bag in her hands, she came to the counter and carefully took out the stamps inside, then placed them in a row for Han Li to choose from.
Han Li didn't know the quality of stamps, but considering the money in his pocket, he chose some unusual special stamps.
For example: a set of 4 special stamps "Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station", a set of 8 special stamps "Chemical Industry", a set of 5 special stamps "Mountaineering", a set of 5 special stamps "Women on the Industrial Front" Stamps, a set of 8 special stamps "Children's Sports".
In addition, some stamps from model operas of this period were also selected, among which of course those stamps with inscriptions and quotations from great men are indispensable.
Han Li thanked the enthusiastic little girl, but when he was about to leave after paying the money, he was stopped by the girl.
"Comrade, if you are all stamp collectors, can you leave your contact address? If there are any special stamps in the future, I can tell you. If it is convenient in the future, just ask me to appreciate your collection."
Han Li's current identity is an educated youth. He does not think that he is the hero in a romance novel. He can make the other person fall in love with his face. The other person may really like collecting stamps, and most people in this era are interested in this. He was powerless, so he readily agreed. In this boring era, having another pen pal is also a good pastime.
"Of course there's no problem. Can we usually share our stamp collecting experiences with each other?"
The two left each other's contact addresses, and Han Li took a quick look and realized that the girl's name was Fu Weihong.
Your surname is Fu?
