Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 260: This thing is a ringing copper, most people don’t know

When he came here, Wu Yuansheng took the time to take some photos of Song Yuping's hometown with his mobile phone.

Includes photos of her parents, brother and sister-in-law.

After the car had not gone far, he also called Yi Xiaoyue and told him that he had set off and returned.

"Yuan Sheng, thank you for today, thank you for your hard work!"

On the way back, Song Yuping said to him.

Compared with when she came, she was obviously much more relaxed now.

"Aunt, we are a family from now on, and you will be my mother soon, so there is no need to be so polite!"

He glanced at her and said with a smile.

"Okay then! Isn't my hometown very poor?"

She also smiled and said to him.

"A little bit, but it should get better soon!"

Thinking about future development, rural areas will carry out targeted poverty alleviation, and some needy households with poor family conditions will receive corresponding subsidies or project guidance. Although the income is not as high as working outside the home, it will be much better than now.

"I hope so!"

Looking out the car window, she said again.

…………

On the way, the two of them chatted from time to time, and in about 2 hours, they arrived at City X.

It's earlier than expected to go to Master Gong's place to see things. As mentioned before, it's around six o'clock, so I estimate I'll be there at around five o'clock.

When approaching the city, Wu Yuansheng called him in advance.

This is the way to go, it's best to go directly there.

Master Gong was not busy at this time, so he went back.

"This is the big gong. Is it very big? Try the weight. You can also hit it and listen to the sound!"

When Wu Yuansheng came to the courtyard where he lived, Boss Gong had already taken out the gong, saw him coming in, and said to him.

Song Yuping was in the van and did not get out.

"It's really big!"

As he spoke, he took the gong over and began to read.

The gong, which is nearly one meter in diameter, looks like it has hammering marks on the front.

Judging from the patina, it should date back to the Qing Dynasty.

I carefully inspected the gong and found no cracks or damage.

The gong is relatively thick. I tried the weight and it was indeed over twenty kilograms.

"Boss Gong, please tell me how much it costs!"

After checking it, he said to Master Gong.

"If you sell this thing as brass, you can get it for 300 yuan. If you want it, give me a round number, 1000 yuan. I don't want more!

This thing is ringing copper. Most people don't know. The price of ringing copper is much more expensive than red copper, several times that of brass.

We who are engaged in recycling, and those of you who collect antiques, may know that this is also an antique, an old item. "

Boss Gong told the price and the material of the gong.

In 13, the price of brass was only about 300 yuan per catty, and a gong weighing more than catties, sold as copper, cost about yuan.

The material used to make such striking instruments, whether gongs or cymbals, is all made of sounding copper.

Wu Yuansheng has also heard that their prices are indeed more expensive.

Many scrap recycling depot owners buy these as brass. After receiving them, they will select them individually and sell them at a high price.

1000 yuan is not expensive to buy such an item.

A small gong, from before the Republic of China, currently costs a few hundred yuan.

"Okay, then it's 1000 yuan. Do you have anything else here?"

Anyway, I’m here, so I’ll buy more if I can. "There are also a few cameras, a few radios, a guitar, a few porcelain teapots, purple clay pots, some clothes and other items. There are quite a few clothes, three to four hundred pieces."

Boss Gong said again.

"Then take them all out and take a look!"

After he finished speaking, Master Gong went to get something again.

When he returned to the house, Wu Yuansheng called Boss Liu who was doing recycling with him again.

Anyway, the two of them lived close to each other, so I could buy the used clothes he got there.

After making the call, Boss Gong had already taken out the camera and radio.

Most of the cameras are "point-and-shoot" cameras from the 1990s and later, and are not as valuable as those from the 1950s and 1960s.

The radio does have a "Guangzhou" brand from the 1960s, which is okay.

The camera and radio were packed together, and Boss Gong said he would give them 100 yuan.

The guitar is 20 yuan.

There were five porcelain teapots and purple clay teapots, including a porcelain teapot from the special period of "Lao San Pian". He gave these teapots 150 yuan.

Counting those clothes, there were 373 pieces in total.

In addition to the big gong, he paid 650 yuan for these last items.

After paying 1650 yuan and asking Master Gong to help put everything on the van, he went to Boss Liu's place again.

I bought some more items and old clothes there.

Among the slightly better items are a wooden statue of Guan Erye, the god of wealth and wealth, two photo albums, a "Fu Shou" blue and white jar, and two bottles of "Kouzijiu" old wine from the 1990s.

Boss Liu got a little more clothes, 443 pieces.

He spent a total of 1100 yuan on these.

After buying things for both of them, he and Song Yuping went to the small house next to the family yard of the Animal Husbandry Bureau.

On the way there, he also told her that he bought a small house of about 50 square meters here to use as a warehouse.

"Yuan Sheng, you bought so many used clothes here! Your dad sells clothes, but it will take a long time to sell them!"

When they arrived at the place, Song Yuping looked inside for a while, and after discovering the large amount of clothes piled in the house, she said to him.

These were all purchased by others after they called him during this period of time.

In fact, besides the ones here, there are also many in his rental houses.

As long as someone is selling, he will buy and stock up on more.

"Yes! He wanted to find something to do so that his life would be more meaningful. A moderate amount of labor would be better for the body."

While talking, they all put those clothes in the house.

"The environment here in City X is very good. If this house were not used as a warehouse, it would actually be quite nice to live in."

When she entered the family courtyard, she had seen the situation here.

"Yeah! This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Not far away is Hutou Mountain, and it's only about a mile away from the river."

If you are retiring, it is definitely suitable to live here. It has good light, is on the first floor, and has a small yard.

The two of them chatted while putting things away, and by around 6:30, all the clothes were put away.

He also called Yi Xiaoyue when he was shopping before.

After putting away their belongings, they went home.

After sending Song Yuping to her residence first, he drove to the storage rooms of Xincheng Home and Jingxiu Home.

He placed the large gong and other items in those two places respectively.

When she got home and saw Yi Xiaoyue, she asked her about their visit to her grandparents' house today.

Wu Yuansheng also told her some of the situation, and he also showed her the photos taken on his mobile phone several times.
