The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 4: Original light copper plate

These old houses have been used as warehouses, kitchens, and some useless sundries. Zhang Nan took a closer look and found that there was a damaged wooden cabinet. It was a mahogany cabinet. I bought it, and waited for at least one month's salary. But now I can only watch it, no way, I can't take it back.

   Back to the new house, the old couple moved out a large bag of rusty silver dollars, a total of five to six hundred!

   "You guys are really capable, all of which are hidden, good skills!" Zhang Nan really admires Lao Wang's family. It is not easy to hide these hundreds of silver dollars.

   Speaking of the collectors' background, the old Wang family is very bitter, because all the good things have disappeared.

   It is the first time that Zhang Nan can put out thousands of silver dollars in a family, but this is the first time that Zhang Nan can sell you hundreds of dollars in one breath.

   But Zhang Nan didn't give them tens of thousands of catties of food stamps at all, and he couldn't get it even if he bought it with money. Just pick some if you want to make a fortune. Don't even think about it: Silver dollars are bad luck, that is, you can't find a rare species out of tens of thousands.

   Sure enough, there was not a single rare variety among hundreds of them, so Zhang Nan picked more than 30 good-quality dragons of various colors.

Clearly settled with food stamps, Zhang Nan has no "bargaining chips": "Lao Wang, Lao Chen, this time I didn't think about collecting antiques specially. I only have more than ten kilograms of food stamps left. This time I have to go back on the road. Eat, you guys?"

   The old Wang thought for a while and said, "Master Xiao Zhang, you are also a real person. Are you still here for a business trip this year?"

   "There should be a trip to the provincial capital Greentown before the end of the year, or early next year."

"If you don't think so, leave an address. There are a lot of people working here in Guangdong Province, and the national food stamps are in short supply. I will go to my son again in a few days. If you can get the national food stamps, We can eat tens of thousands of catties, and people who go to the villages around us in Guangdong Province can use them. And let’s not tell you, even if we change hands on the black market, we can earn at least one dime per catty."

   Zhang Nan understood: "You all use old things for them?"

   "Money is fine, but I guess Xiao Zhang, you still don't want to, hehe..." This old Wang would also joke.

   "That is, I might as well travel to Nanyue Province by myself if I drop the food stamp."

When the old king heard this, he said: "Xiao Zhang, leave an address. I will come back from Nanyue early and I will telegraph you. I can call the shots of these silver dollars. If you come again, we will leave dozens of them. Others Sell ​​it all to you. If it is not enough, I will ask the old lady to inquire about it. We can’t guarantee the valuable bottles, but it’s okay to find a few hundred silver dollars. We will go according to the price we collect for antiques."

   Zhang Nan already has a spectrum in his heart. He will buy the hundreds of silver dollars in front of him with food stamps, and pour in and out the profits of at least 2,000 yuan. Even if you're not on a business trip, it's worth taking a leave of absence, not to mention that there may be other gains. "Okay, I will also send you a telegram before I come, at least tens of thousands of catties, with five catties of votes."

   "Okay, happy!"

The two parties left the address, and the old Wang took Zhang Nan to one of his relatives’ homes. This family also had a lot of silver dollars. It seems that the relatives of the landlord’s family are also the landlord, and they have a lot of stock, because they plan to build a new house next year. So I am also preparing to sell a batch and agree to bring money next time (their practical food stamps are exchanged). Lao Wang was "generous," and he took the initiative to help Zhang Nan bargain and bought an old Hetian jade bracelet with 30 yuan in cash.

   Zhang Nan understands that this jade bracelet is not exchanged for food stamps.

   Sitting in this family’s house, chatting, drinking tea and wandering around, when I return to Lao Wang’s house, Lao Wang’s wife has already prepared dinner, and Zhang Nan must stay for dinner.

   Actually, it's still early, it's less than 5 o'clock, but Zhang Nan is not welcome because of the enthusiasm. A table of dishes with chicken and fish is very rich, especially a "Hengxian Yusheng" with ginger, green onion, garlic, shredded papaya, shredded radish, and shredded lemon, but Hengxian "county dish" is very famous!

"Yusheng" means sashimi. It was called yusheng, yusheng or sashimi in ancient times. The history of eating yusheng in China can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. Hengxian Yusheng is said to be the Yishi Dongjing who lived in Heng County during the Jin Yuan Emperor's reign. Eating sashimi began to spread, and Japanese sashimi was learned from Huaxia.

   couldn't stop the host's enthusiasm, Zhang Nan bite the bullet and ate two slices with his eyes closed, which caused the host to laugh.

   No way. Zhang Nan didn't eat sashimi before he was born again. Pharaoh and the others obviously also knew that outsiders basically didn't have this eating habit, so they didn't insist on it.

   Because it’s dark and it’s not easy to ride a bike, I didn’t drink much of this wine.

   Cycling back to the city, because the business has been negotiated, there is no need for Lao Chen to accompany him tomorrow. But when I was chatting, I heard that there is a nice scenic spot beside the county town. I didn't return Lao Chen's bicycle, so I plan to ride around tomorrow.

   Just returned to the guest house room to take a shower, and still hadn't sorted out the harvest, this old Chen came again, and unexpectedly sent a movie ticket. It opens at 7:30 in the evening, and it is said that it is a welfare provided to employees in the guest house.

   Zhang Nan hasn't been to a movie for more than half a year since he was born again. There is no time, and the movies of this year have either been seen or they are really not good in his eyes. And this time the 14-inch black-and-white TV in the room has no programs at all, so I might as well go to the cinema.

   The cinema was not far from the guest house, and Zhang Nan walked there for a while, ten minutes earlier. At first glance, a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the theater: there is basically no entertainment for everyone at night. Movies are a rare pastime, and you have to queue up to buy tickets, not to mention today Saturday, even a ticket is hard to find.

When I look at the large hand-painted poster at the door, it’s not a slightly weird modern drama. It turned out to be "Blood Splatter Painting Screen." Zhang Nan, who was originally not interested in it, is also excited: the historical background of this movie is well known in history. I know, it was adapted from the "Four Paint Screens" in "Digong Di Gong An", but I haven't read it.

The 90-minute movie didn't let me down. The whole movie made Zhang Nan immersed in a strong atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty: from the 1980s to the early 1990s, China made several TV shows and movies depicting the Tang Dynasty. In respect of historical facts and the acting skills of the actors, dozens of newcomers have been thrown out!

   "At least you don't have to look at Hengdian to see vomiting!"

   After watching the movie, he returned to the room. Although UU read www.uukanshu.com knew that the government guest house was safe, Zhang Nan checked his luggage and belongings to make sure that there was no problem.

   Not sleepy, took out a trouser belt tube with the smallest diameter, and carefully removed the layers of red paper on one end of the tube core with tweezers.

   Why did Zhang Nan buy these big clubs? This also starts with a custom: this barrel core is usually round wooden sticks for households, and some wealthy families before liberation used copper plates to add "press box bottom" to their daughters!

Dozens or hundreds of copper plates are stacked in a row and wrapped tightly with several layers of red paper to make the core, like a tube of silver dollars wrapped in red paper often seen in film and television dramas, except that the diameter is much smaller. Pack more thickly.

   And because it is part of the dowry, everything is new. This copper plate is usually a brand new copper plate exchanged from a bank, and it will not be recharged with used money. Ordinary copper plate is not valuable, but if it is a new ordinary copper plate with the original metallic luster and uncirculated quality, it is valuable, at least dozens of times the flow through!

   If it was originally a rare product, then the new uncirculated goods of Yuanguang can even sell for sky-high prices!

   The original polished copper plate that has been handed down is taken out of the trousers tube in all likelihood, otherwise, even if it is placed in a dry drawer, the surface will be oxidized for decades. Only in this way can it be wrapped up in a dense pile to resist the erosion of time. Even if the two seals are broken, there are one or two original lights on both sides that are slightly poorly preserved, and the middle will not be affected.

   In the afternoon, Zhang Nan swiped his fingernails a few times. From the feel of the hand, he already knew that the core was covered with a copper plate.
