Chapter 154 For needlework

After hearing what he said, Wu Yuansheng stopped.

Boss Luo didn't have much to buy, and he wasn't in a hurry to get it from the car.

"Haven't I seen it? I'd better take a look."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Boss Zhang, and followed him into the house he rented.

Unlike Boss Luo who placed the items directly on the ground, Boss Zhang placed a piece of curtain cloth on the ground.

There are three miniature water tank-shaped "baskets" on the surface of the curtain cloth, and three round lids are placed next to them.

These "baskets" are all different in size. The largest one is about half a meter high and about [-] centimeters in diameter at the top.

The smallest one is about one foot high and the diameter of the top is about [-] centimeters.

The special thing is not the shape, but the "stuff" stuck to their surface.

The "things" on the two small "baskets" are various "cigarette labels". The largest one has the coins of the Republic of China on the surface.

These cigarette labels and banknotes are covered inside and outside the "basket". In some places, the stickers are several layers thick.

The surfaces of the three lids were the same, covered inside and out with cigarette labels or banknotes.

Both the edge of the top of the "basket" and the edge of the lid are all glued on.

Wu Yuansheng first looked at the Republic of China banknotes on the largest "basket".

These banknotes have different face values ​​such as [-] yuan, [-] yuan, [-] yuan, [-] yuan, [-] yuan, and [-] yuan.

I picked up the matching cover and looked at it. The banknotes attached to it were of similar denominations.

Put this lid on the big "basket" with your hands, it's just right!

He stopped looking at the big one and looked at the cigarette labels on the two smaller ones.

The cigarette labels include "Rose Fragrance", "Yongle", "Porcelain Vase", "Skylark", "Steel Brand", "Green Bamboo", "Daxi", etc.

Put the matching lid with the same cigarette label on it, and it is just right.

After reading it, he took the three "baskets" and tried the weight. They were very light!

It is estimated that the main body under the cigarette label and banknotes should also be thick paper or something like that.

"Haven't you seen it?"

Seeing that Wu Yuansheng was almost optimistic, Boss Zhang asked him.

"Yes! I have indeed never seen it before. Boss Luo, have you seen it?"

Wu Yuansheng asked Lao Luo that he thought he was older and might have seen him before.

"I haven't seen them either, but I heard from Old Shen that these might have been used by people in the past for needlework!"

It is used for needlework. Looking at it this way, it seems that it is really possible.

It seems that Uncle Shen, who likes to play chess, is more knowledgeable.

"How much are these things?"

Without paying any further attention to what they were used for, he asked about the price. It didn't matter what they were used for.

"How about three things with an integer?"

After speaking, Boss Zhang stretched out one of his fingers.

"Xiao Zhang, if you stretch your fingers like this, you don't want [-]!"

Before Wu Yuansheng could speak, Boss Luo next to him saw him like this and said to him with a smile.

"I didn't say that! I do want ten thousand, but someone has to be willing to pay that price!"

After listening to what Lao Luo said, he said casually.

"Put your finger up, I just want to say 100 yuan! You'd better just say how much it is!"

In fact, he could imagine that the price Boss Zhang mentioned would definitely not be 10000, nor could it be 100. The highest possibility was 1000, but no matter what, he still had to say it.

"1000 yuan! Look at these Republic of China coins. There are at least fifty or sixty of them. These are worth a lot of money, and there are so many cigarette packs. The main reason is that there are very few such items!" Pointing to the biggest one. Basket." Boss Zhang said the price.

He may think the coins are valuable, after all, they were used a long time ago.

But on the contrary, these high-denomination coins are not valuable and are not worth the cigarette labels.

It is basically impossible to get all the paper items on it, whether they are coins or cigarette labels, individually.

"The price you mentioned is a bit high. The coins and the cigarette paper are stuck to each other and cannot be removed at all. It is difficult to collect them one by one. Besides, their condition is not very good!
These Republic of China banknotes are actually worthless. They exist in large quantities, otherwise they would not be stuck together like this.

If I buy three items, I can only sell them as a whole when I go back.It's 200 yuan less, I'll pay 800 yuan. "

For the price of 1000, you can definitely buy it, but you can't just say how much it is.

After hearing what he said, Boss Zhang thought about it for a while, and after about ten seconds, he agreed.

He probably thought Wu Yuansheng was right. The coins and cigarette labels on these items could not be removed. They could be sold for 800 yuan, but they could be used to buy many other things.

"I still have five old books here that are very old. They were also found at this needleworker's house when I bought used items. Take a look!"

After discussing the price of the small "basket", Boss Zhang then said to him.

After he finished speaking, he went to a small wooden box in the room and rummaged through it. After a while, he took out several books in his hand.

"These are the five books!"

Boss Zhang said as he placed the books one by one on the curtain cloth on the ground.

Wu Yuansheng glanced at these books next to each other. The paper was made of yellowish rough paper.

This kind of paper looks like an old book at first glance!

I saw the following words written on the surface of the book:

There are two medicinal books among them: "Medicinal Book", "Location of Heaven and Earth, Stars Locking Good and Bad", "Sacred Talisman", "Spiritual Talisman to Change Luck".

I picked up the medicine book and looked through it. One contained single prescriptions and the other contained folk remedies.

"The Positioning of Heaven and Earth, Stars Locking Good and Bad" is a book on Feng Shui. He flipped through a few pages of the book, which talked about the knowledge of tombs and Yangzhai Feng Shui.

"Sacred Talisman" and "Spirit Talisman Changes Luck" are books about drawing talismans and various talisman patterns.

Time was limited and he did not watch carefully.

The time when I read the book should be around the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

"Boss Zhang, could you please tell me how much these books cost?"

After reading all the books, Wu Yuansheng asked him.

"A book costs 100 yuan. You can give me 500 yuan. I don't understand this either. It's a random sale! What do you think of the price?"

500 yuan is definitely not expensive to buy a few ancient books.

"Okay! Just 500, I don't know much about this, just buy randomly!"

After Wu Yuansheng finished speaking, he picked up the book and put it into the basket covered with coins.

"Is there anything else? If not, I will pay you!"

After picking up the book, he asked again.

"No more! I'll contact you if I get it!"

He handed Boss Zhang 1300 yuan, and then he took the purchased items to the place where the van was parked.

When paying, Boss Luo said that Xiao Zhang’s income was high today.

I hope that in the future they will encounter more special and valuable things when they go to the demolition area to recycle old goods.

When he went to put things away, he definitely couldn't carry them by himself, so he asked Yi Xiaoyue to help him pick up two small "baskets" he bought.

Her mother, Song Yuping, also took a piece of calligraphy, two photo albums, and a teapot.
