Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 158 This painting is quite special

They were all copper coins, and Uncle Hong was obviously a little disappointed.

"Your ancestors were able to hide so many copper coins. Although they are not particularly rich, they are definitely living a better life than the average person! I didn't find any silver coins, so if I find these, it's not in vain! These two jars of copper coins can be exchanged for four or five. Ten silver dollars!”

Although Wu Yuansheng was a little disappointed, he still said this to Uncle Hong.

He heard others say that a silver dollar is worth almost 1000 copper coins, which is roughly equal to 100 copper coins of ten coins and 50 copper coins of 20 coins.

The copper coins in the two jars were mostly ten or twenty coins, totaling about 50 kilograms.

The weight of a twenty-wen Guangxu Yuanbao is about 10 grams, and the ten-wen Yuanbao is about 7 grams.

Calculated in this way, taking the average value of 8.5 grams, bringing five pennies with a one-cent face value, there will be nearly 3000 copper coins in it.

The value of two jars of copper coins is almost equivalent to forty or fifty "Qing Silver Coins" silver coins.

Of course, according to the current value of the copper coins in the jar, it will definitely not be lower than the value of forty or fifty silver coins.

"Is it worth four and a half silver dollars? Do you have Yuan Datou? Give me 50 yuan, and you can take these two jars of copper dollars!"

Uncle Hong said after hearing him talk about the value of the copper plates in the jar.

He also calculated based on the previously agreed ratio of one-third to him, and wanted to exchange the copper coins for Wu Yuansheng's silver coins.

I must have 30 Yuan Datou in my hand, but all the ones I had before were sold.Those 80 yuan worth of good condition ones are relatively rare eight-year-old ones and will not be exchanged for him.

Yuan Datou could exchange the 16 yuan that were found with the seven or eight broken silver coins, mostly three years old and sometimes nine years old, with him.

"Yes! I can bring it to you in the afternoon. It's almost 12 o'clock now. Let's have lunch first. The yard, old kitchen, toilet and other places behind you have not been detected yet."

After checking the time, he said to Uncle Hong.

"Okay, let's eat first!"

Originally, when Mr. Hong dug out these two jars of copper coins in the morning, he had asked him to treat him to a restaurant at noon.

I just said that I would go with him to get the silver coins, and asked him to take away all the copper coins in the jar.

But considering that Yuan Datou was still short of 14 yuan, and he still had to go to the antique city to buy, he said that everyone could eat by themselves at noon.

However, when he left Uncle Hong's old house, he still took a jar of copper coins with him and deposited 2000 yuan with Mr. Hong.

This is what he deserves. It would be better to bring some first when he goes back at noon!
Although the deposit was a bit small, Uncle Hong didn't say anything.

The other jar currently belongs to Uncle Hong.

After he came to exchange the silver coins with him in the afternoon, Mr. Hong returned the money to him.

From the contacts and interactions, Wu Yuansheng felt that Uncle Hong was a very nice person, not the kind of person who liked to worry about trivial matters.

I asked him for a cardboard box to put the cans in, and tied it with a rope several times. After taking the things with me, Wu Yuansheng walked directly to the house on the 28th floor of Xincheng Homes.

Put the 16 silver coins over there. At the same time, that place is close to Fengqing Street Antique City. After you put the coins in the jar, you can go directly to the Antique City to buy silver coins.

"Yuan Sheng! You are here today too!"

When he rode through the small road in the demolition area here and reached the intersection of the main road, Hei Lei saw him and greeted him.

"Yes! I came here for something, so I'm going back now!"

He also said hello.

Hei Lei comes to the demolition area near Honggou basically every day.

"I went shopping at someone else's house this morning and got some slides and a painting. See if you want it!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Hei Lei said to him again.

"Let me see!"

He had something to buy, and since he was on his way, it wouldn't take much time, so he stopped the car.Hei Lei first took out an item wrapped in a small paper box from a large snakeskin bag on his tricycle, and then handed it directly to him.

“You take a look at these slides first!”

Taking the cardboard box, he opened it and looked at it.

Items such as slides are similar to camera negatives, which are made of plastic film.

However, they are larger than the negatives and look clearer and more beautiful.

I looked at the picture above. It was a picture of teaching in a classroom.

There are numbers written on the paper on the four sides of the light sheets, as well as words such as "Protect the Picture", "Beware of Moisture", "Beijing Hongmiao Studio", etc.

I took out two more pictures from the middle and looked at them. One was a picture of rowing a boat in the lake, and the other was a picture of several people racing on a motorcycle.

I counted the number, and there were almost 20 of them.

These look to be from the 90s.

"Brother Lei! Take out that painting and look at it again!"

Putting the slides back into the box, he said to Hei Lei again.

"Give!"

He took out another "object" rolled up in red paper from the bag and handed it over.

The width of the red paper seems to be about 1.5 meters, which looks quite wide. It is tied up with brown wool.

It is estimated that the calligraphy and painting inside should be a "big work".

Taking the rolled red paper, he first took a look at the color of the paper, which was a bit yellow.

There are some insect holes of different sizes on the surface of the paper.

Judging from the situation reflected in these two points, it must have taken a certain period of time for such a situation to form.

Untying the wool, unfolding the red paper and looking at it, he found that the red paper was just the outer wrapping paper, and the real calligraphy and painting was on the inside of this layer of red paper.

After unfolding all the papers, he discovered that there was a piece of yellowed white paper in the innermost part. There were also a few bug holes on the white paper, but they were very few and they were all at the very edge.

After taking a look at the patterns painted on the face, there were three pictures:
One painting is of flowers. The top is a red flower, like morning glory. Three flowers are distributed irregularly up and down. The flowers are thick and majestic, giving people a feeling of "good luck".

One painting shows a rooster, which looks very majestic. It is standing on a hillside and is crowing with its mouth open.

There is also a painting of a buffalo standing on the edge of a pond with reeds and eating grass growing on the ground.

The three paintings are connected together, with only a seal and no signature beside each painting.

Judging from the Zhangzi, it was not painted by one person.

This painting is quite special, Wu Yuansheng couldn't help but think after reading it.

He had never seen several different styles of paintings together like this before.

"Brother Lei! How much does this painting and slides cost?"

After looking at the painting, he rolled it up again, tied it with cotton thread again, and asked about the price.

"Let's give 100 yuan together! The slide shouldn't be worth much, mainly because the painting looks old, so it should be worth dozens of yuan!"

"Okay! Then 100!"

After he finished speaking, he took out 100 yuan and handed it over. After Hei Lei collected the money, he put the calligraphy, paintings and slides on his tricycle.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Wu Yuansheng rode away on his bicycle.
