Chapter 85 The tattered monkey who sells cultural relics

Chapter 85 The tattered monkey who sells cultural relics
Since liberation was just a short time ago, many people still maintain their pre-liberation appearance and have not yet fully entered the new society. They wear short shirts like foreigners.

In fact, modern clothes are basically based on Western templates.

"Comrade, is there Yuan Datou? This is the number." The visitor stretched out three fingers from his sleeve.

Han Weimin knew he was talking about three yuan.

It costs Yuan Datou three yuan, but when it is resold, it costs five yuan.

Han Weimin waved his hand, motioning for him to stay away.

"Comrade, are there any big yellow croakers or small yellow croakers? Pay a high price." Another middle-aged man in a long gown with yellow teeth bared said.

Han Weimin asked, "Do you have any? I want to take it too."

Huang Ya gave him a white look and turned around.

Going deeper into the alley, Han Weimin saw people reselling all kinds of things, all kinds of wonderful things.

"Comrade, do you know where to sell fishing rods?" Han Weimin asked a boss who was reselling fake cultural relics.

The boss lowered his head and was sorting out the cups and dishes on his stall.

"Go 50 meters inside. Turn left and there is a small alley. There are those things in there." The boss pointed forward casually without raising his head.

"Thank you." Han Weimin thanked him and turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, the boss grabbed Han Weimin.

"Boss, do you want one of the blue and white porcelain bowls from the former Qing Palace? It only costs you one dollar."

Only then did Han Weimin see the boss clearly.

Hiss. Isn’t this the third uncle?
If you look closely, you can see that there are some differences between the two.

At least this guy doesn't wear glasses.

Suddenly, Han Weimin remembered.

Isn't this the tattered monkey under Zhengyangmen?

It turns out that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, cultural relics were sold here.

Perhaps it was later that the country took care of it, which made the tattered monkey depressed, put away the rags, and barely survived.

Han Weimin smiled and said: "This blue and white porcelain is indeed right, it must have just been taken out of the kiln yesterday, right?"

"This is quite new."

"You can at least look old and be a little more convincing."

When the Tattered Monkey saw that he had been exposed, he smiled and said, "Okay, I met someone who knows what he is doing."

"Looks like I have to get you something real."

Then he took out another blue and white porcelain bowl from a small wooden box, which was quite similar to the previous blue and white porcelain bowl.

It just looks more quaint.

"This is definitely the real thing. Brother Thirteen has used this bowl."

"How about I only charge you one dollar and a half?"

"After a while, the country will be free to rectify these things, and you won't be able to get one even if you are fifteen."

Han Weimin was not in a hurry to go home, so he picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl and started playing with it.

"The Thirteenth Brother you are talking about is the Thirteenth Brother of your emperor?"

"Could it be that of Emperor Xuantong?"

The Tattered Monkey immediately laughed when he heard this.

"How can it be."

"Emperor Xuantong has only been in power for two and a half years, and there are so many elder brothers here."

"This is something in the hands of the pure Emperor Guangxu."

Han Weimin nodded and then said: "5 cents, do you want to sell it?"

When the Tattered Monkey heard this, his eyes widened.

"This is something in Guangxu's hand. Maybe Mr. Guangxu took it and you gave me fifty cents?"

Han Weimin couldn't help but laugh.

"The difference between yours and the one just now is that it's a little older, so there's not much of a difference!"

"Besides, Guangxu didn't last long until today."

"This thing is worthless in the market."

The Tattered Monkey didn't expect Han Weimin to understand quite well. He smiled and said, "I really didn't lie to you. This is really something from the reign of Emperor Guangxu."

"You see you are a cultured and knowledgeable person."

"It's only fifty cents to make friends with you."

Seeing the Tattered Monkey suddenly agreeing, Han Weimin's heart skipped a beat, and he felt bad, so he still screamed loudly.I'm sure he would agree even if I called him Sanmao.

But now that the words have been spoken, he doesn't have to break his promise because of fifty cents.

I decisively gave him fifty cents.

The Tattered Monkey placed the bowl intact in the wooden box and handed it to Han Weimin.

"Young man, you are an honest person, so I will give you this box."

Han Weimin took the wooden box casually, but suddenly his eyes lit up.

"This wooden box is not simple."

Before traveling through time, Han Weimin was quite interested in knowledge such as antiques. Coupled with the information explosion in the Internet era, no matter what kind of knowledge he wanted to learn, he could find a lot of related things.

Therefore, Han Weimin's ability to identify treasures is actually not bad.

Tattered Monkey smiled: "It seems you really understand."

"You also saw that the bowl was fake, but you bought it anyway."

"It shows that you, a young man, are trustworthy and open-minded."

"I know I've been tricked, but I don't jump around like other people."

"So, let me compensate you for this box."

"This is what comes from the pure palace."

"Prince Chun Aixinjueluo Zaifeng's stuff."

Han Weimin was stunned, frowned and said, "Didn't Prince Chun just pass away last year?"

"Did all his things become cultural relics this year?"

Han Weimin knew that according to historical records, Prince Chun Zaifeng died of illness in early 1951, that is, last year.

This Prince Chun is not simple.

He was the father of the last emperor, Emperor Xuantong.

The Tattered Monkey smiled and said: "The palace has been in decline for a long time, and the things in the palace have been taken out and resold by those Belles and Princesses."

"There were treasures in this box before."

"Now all that's left is this small box."

"It's made of rosewood and smells very fragrant."

"This box alone costs more than fifty cents, let alone a cultural relic."

Han Weimin nodded, feeling as if history was right in front of him.

The reason why this box of tattered monkeys was sold to me was because it was a bit small and impractical.

So no one wants to pay a high price to buy it.

What's more, in this era, the trend is that the poor and lower-middle peasants will be glorious and the wealthy class will be ashamed.

Therefore, many wealthy families are selling their own valuables. Overly ostentatious things like rosewood and mahogany furniture are, in their view, a recipe for disaster.

After collecting the box, Han Weimin said hello to the Tattered Monkey and then headed towards the depths of the pigeon market.

really.

Following the Tattered Monkey's instructions, Han Weimin quickly found some resellers of bird cages, large blue and white porcelain tanks for raising fish, and the like.

Among them, two people specialize in selling fishing rods.

Han Weimin chose one of the two, and the transaction price was two yuan.

Not too cheap either.

In later generations, it would be equivalent to a fishing rod costing three to four hundred yuan.

Then, Han Weimin wandered around for a while, but didn't see anyone selling beehives. Han Weimin didn't persist, so he headed directly towards Houhai with the fishing rod on his shoulder.

With this new fishing rod, he can put his fishing master skills to good use.

In a two-story building covered with ivy.

Mr. Li is reading the newspaper.

After a while, he frowned and put down the newspaper, pinched the bridge of his nose tightly with his fingers, and then started massaging it.

When the lady saw this scene, she quickly brought a cup of tea over.

"Lao Li, do you have a headache again?"

"I told you not to read the newspaper."

"As soon as you see the situation on the battlefield, you will have a headache reflexively."

"Hey, go fishing more often when you have time. Aren't you quite keen on fishing some time ago?"
