As soon as I finished eating here, Brother Chen came over there to call someone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info went to the room to get a cloth bag, stored the keys, and as soon as I walked out of the door, I saw two permanent 28-inch bicycles parked there.

One person rode one, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at Lao Chen's house, and his wife was also there. But I'm quite disappointed, because the bottles and cans in Lao Chen's mouth are all folk kiln objects, either the end of the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, and they will be worth hundreds of thousands after 30 years, but this will not be of much use. However, Lao Chen's wife took out a bunch of copper coins and more than a dozen silver dollars, and Zhang Nan took a look at them, all of which were ordinary varieties, and only one Jiangnan Province made Wuxu Longyang could be worth thousands in later generations.

But this will, Longyang is Longyang, it doesn't matter which province you made, which variety, 8 yuan a piece, Yuan Datou wants 9 yuan a piece, this is the result of the price increase in the past two years. Interestingly, after a few years, Long Yang has always been more expensive than Yuan Datou. However, Zhang Nan basically has no love for ordinary silver dollars, unless it is a rare variety or top quality, otherwise this cost performance is too poor - according to the salary difference, this ordinary silver dollar has not increased in price much in 30 years.

A silver dollar is a silver dollar, and it is worth so much at any time!

Of course, because this will be a silver dollar transaction is rarely divided into small varieties, and the quality is not very particular, the collection is considered to be the right time. There is a good chance of picking up good varieties, but don't think about making money in 10 years, at most you can be a porter to make a local price difference.

Due to Lao Chen's enthusiasm and eager expectations, Zhang Nan bought 10 silver dollars, 6 Longyang 48 yuan, and 4 Yuan Datou 36 yuan, a total of 84 yuan. The national food stamps were used, one pound was counted as 6 cents, a total of 140 catties were given, and 28 food stamps of 5 catties were given. Lao Chen also insisted on giving some copper coins as an add-on, so he took a dozen or so Yongzheng and Shunzhi Tongbao at random.

When I went back, I passed through Shanghai, went to the semi-underground flea and antique market, and after exchanging the same food stamps, I would earn dozens of yuan, and if I was thousands of kilometers away, I would think that I knew a friend to help.

After drinking a cup of tea and walking to the countryside, this old Chen also felt that Zhang Nan just now purely belonged to the rhythm of buying or not buying, and felt a little grateful in his heart, saying that he would never let him be empty today and tomorrow.

Taiping Village, ten minutes by bicycle.

To be honest, the construction of Hengxian County should be very good in 86 years, and there are many five-story buildings, but this rural area is basically old houses, and some are quite simple.

When I arrived at Lao Chen's son-in-law's house, I saw that it was still a new two-story brick house, and there were several old houses behind it. His son-in-law and daughter live with his in-laws, and it seems that the bold craftsman has been earning a good income in the past two years, and this house is one of the best households in the village.

As soon as Lao Chen explained his intentions, everyone warmly welcomed Zhang Nan, Lao Chen's in-laws were surnamed Wang, and he was also ready to take him to the homes of several relatives and acquaintances in the village, but there was one condition: "Master Zhang, there should be some old things in the village, and they should be able to sell." When you see it, can you pay the bill with money first, and then I'll pay you back with money first, and then use food stamps?"

"No problem, that's it. Of course Zhang Nan agreed, this is not a goof.

When chatting, I knew that the ancestor of the old Wang family had been a petty official in the late Qing Dynasty, and his grandfather and father had even worked as a bank manager in the warlord government in the Republic of China, and he also bought land in his hometown. Later, during the warlord period, there were too many wars and chaos in the world, so he moved back to the countryside and became a landlord.

I feel that the opportunity to make a fortune has come, although I have many years of experience in digging out old houses, but there are not many opportunities to meet such a master, and I generally will not run away, and I still have to seize the opportunity if I ask for myself.

However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is skinny - it is said that it is the foundation of capitalists and landlords, but it can't stop copying, in fact, it is only a few hundred silver dollars of various colors hidden, which are still buried in the ground and dug up in the past two years. There was not a single piece of old porcelain: it turned out that all the old ones were copied and smashed.

Rural people are also more realistic, with Zhang Nan casually looked, swayed around, the new house did not look at their own eyes, but in the back of the old house in a small wooden box saw a few trouser tubes, should be the Republic of China or even the Qing Dynasty things, color, weaving skills first-class.

Trouser belts, there were no belts before, and trousers had to be tied with belts or trouser belts woven with cotton threads of various colors. In some places, many women have this craft, but the style and color, width and narrowness are very different, and many areas are still one of the necessary dowries for girls to marry, which is generally prepared by the mother.

Because the trouser belt will be braided very, very long, for the sake of beauty and convenience, it will generally be tightly wound on a round wooden stick twenty or thirty centimeters long and wrapped in red paper in a certain way, and finally it will even be wound into a super big mallet with a diameter of more than ten centimeters! When you want to use it, you can cut it off in one piece, so that a bundle of trouser belts can not be used up by a family for even decades.

However, even after 30 years, this kind of play is not particularly valuable, and it is not even an antique, but can only be regarded as a characteristic old craft and famous and vulgar product, and this craft is still designated as an intangible cultural heritage in some places.

Zhang Nan has several such "mallets" in his family, all of which have been handed down from the family. He was not very interested in the "mallets" in the box, but because the colors were full of the unique style of Gui Province, he picked up one and took a look.

As a result, as soon as he took it, Zhang Nan knew that there was a problem: it was too heavy!

The tightly wound trouser belt roll is very weighty, and everyone who has this kind of play at home knows it, but Zhang Nan, who has more than 20 years of antique experience, knows that there is a problem with the mallet in his hand, because he has heard of this situation several times in his previous life, and he has personally encountered it once.

There were about seven or eight of these mallets in the wooden box, mixed with a bunch of old homespun cloth and other miscellaneous items. Pick one up, put down one, and soon all the trouser belts have passed the second hand, and the thumb fingernails scratch the core of the cylinder recessed in the middle of all the trouser belts when others are not looking.

I have a bottom in my heart.

Holding a mallet and saying to a few people next to him: "The color of this trouser belt tube is very characteristic of your place, and it is customary, which is different from ours." ”

As soon as he heard that he seemed to be interested in these trouser belts that have not been used by many people over the years and can only be used as decorations, Lao Wang immediately said: "This is all handed down from the previous generations, the craftsmanship is absolutely first-class, and there are children in the new house that his mother brought over at that time." Why don't you take a look?"

"It's interesting before liberation, this thing is an old folk custom that is collected, no one wants it in the market, who doesn't have a few? "The trouser belt tube that Lao Wang's daughter-in-law married may have been made by herself, and it must have been something after liberation, Zhang Nan didn't bother to look at it at all. And this will not be too interested - just now in the new house, Zhang Nan saw two photos of the old man hanging on the wall, as well as a few old portraits, there should be no old people alive in this family, Lao Wang They are very likely not to know that there is a problem with these trouser belts, and the old man should not have explained at all when he passed away.

Seeing that Zhang Nan was interested, Lao Wang thought about it for a while and said: "Although this thing is not very useful, it takes a lot of time to do, Xiao Zhang, you are also a real person." If you like it, even if you take it for 10 yuan each. ”

The price of this thing is really not easy to calculate, the price of a mallet and a silver dollar, it is estimated that 5 silver dollars will be required decades ago, and it is not clear if anyone wants Zhang Nan for 1,000 pieces of mallet in 30 years. But I'm too lazy to bargain, 10 yuan a mallet can't be considered expensive, right?

There was no need for anyone else to do it, a total of seven trouser belts, all of which were stuffed into the cloth bag he brought.
