Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin also walked around for a while, they were a little tired, and they wanted to find a place to rest.

"Hehe, it's quite distinctive! It feels like going back to when I was a kid. After sitting down, Wu Chen praised first.

The shopkeeper said while making tea, "I'm a person, I've loved collecting all kinds of things since I was a child, and I can't do anything about broken copper and iron, but I haven't tossed out a family background." Now that I open this store, I can't actually make a few dollars, so I should commemorate the time at that time, nostalgia. ”

"Actually, I too, when I was a child, I collected a lot of things, such as broken wine bottles and broken boxes! The whole room was so full that it was difficult to get off your feet. Wu Chen continued, remembering a lot of old things, this is also the fun of collectors, didn't I tell adults, collecting is a period of time and mood.

"I can't see it, I'm still a big collector! It should be worth the old nose money now, local tyrant! Huang Xiaolin couldn't help but tease, glanced at him, and smiled secretly, this kid is different when he is young, is he a genius or an idiot.

"Hey, don't mention it! Those things were later thrown away by my father, and there were several baskets of them! Wu Chen said a little distressed, "I was beaten for this." Say what kind of plaything is discouraged, and go home with a bunch of worthless tatters all day long, hehe. ”

"Hey, don't look at these things, they weren't worth much back then, and when it comes to real purchasing power, it's actually not cheap!" The shopkeeper finished brewing the tea and made a gesture to invite him to drink the tea.

This is also true, at that time, the whole society was short of money, and there was little currency in circulation. Wu Chen and their little children don't have much money on them, and a set of villain books for a few cents may not be able to buy a set for a year.

Although he is also poor now, isn't it said that he can buy a villain book for a few hundred yuan? It's getting less and less valuable! At that time, everyone envied the "10,000 yuan household", and now it is the dick silk in the dick, and I can't even afford half a toilet seat!

"Money is really worthless, even if the previous sets of renminbi are hidden now, the appreciation rate is still not comparable to the inflation speed." Wu Chen sighed, and suddenly remembered that the second aunt's family had dug up the ancient coins again, and he didn't know if there was anything valuable in the road, and it was best to have that kind of unique treasure.

"Pretty boy is right! However, if it is an ancient coin, there is still a lot of room for appreciation. Even if it's an old coin, there are some of them that are quite valuable, like the 'Five Heavenly Kings' and 'Four Little Dragons', which are all very popular now! In particular, the 1986 version of the 'Great Wall coin' is the 'coin king' in the coin, the price is comparable to a monkey ticket, and now the market price of a full set of 1986 version of the 'Great Wall coin' has soared to about 200,000 yuan. ”

The shopkeeper's words shook Wu Chen slightly, he knew that there were also people who collected the coins of the Dao Dao, but he didn't expect this thing to be so expensive. He touched his head, smiled, and said with a little annoyance, "I knew that I didn't buy snacks when I was a child, how good it would be to save them!" ”

Huang Xiaolin saw that his face was full of frustration, pursed his lips and smiled: "In this world, there is no regret medicine!" Two cents a pomace fruit, can you withstand that temptation? ”

There was a grocery store in front of their elementary school, which was a paradise for their children at that time, and they were surrounded by water every time school ended. In particular, the freshly fried oil residue fruit is even more sought-after and is praised as "life" by them! At that time, I only hated that I had no money in my pocket, and I was drooling around, where would I think about saving money!

Wu Chen was exposed, his face turned red, and he said, "Yes, captain, you are always a good student, and you haven't spent money indiscriminately since you were a child, why don't you go back and look for it, and see if you can find the piggy bank when you were a child?" ”

"Go, where is the money, let you cheat it all!" Wu Chen didn't mention it, but at the mention of the piggy bank, Huang Xiaolin gritted her teeth a little. At that time, Wu Chen and Daya didn't have much money, and they were making some fresh gadgets all day long to "sell" to their classmates.

"Not every coin is worth anything." The shopkeeper was also quite talkative, and made another cup of tea, seeing that Wu Chen was a little embarrassed, he smiled and beckoned the two of them to drink tea, and continued to set up his dragon gate array, "Coin collection is also hierarchical." ”

"In general, coins can be divided into two categories: 'Proven' and 'Normal' coins according to their processing. "Proof coins" were mainly used for collections, gifts, and were not in circulation, reflecting the best denomination levels that could be achieved by the coinage methods of the time. "Plain" coins are used in circulation, resulting in 7 different grades ranging from "uncirculated" to "inferior", generally speaking, the real value is the proof coin, and the circulating ones are almost not collectible. ”

The shopkeeper paused, saw that Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin were listening very carefully, and they didn't feel bored at all, so they couldn't help but talk about it, and then said: "Take the 'Five Golden Flowers' as an example, some people call it the 'Five Heavenly Kings', which refers to the 5-cent coins in 1979, the 2-cent and 5-cent coins in 1980, and the 1-cent and 5-cent coins in 1981.

The first aluminum hard cent was minted in 1955, and coins are still being issued, although they are rarely used. From 1955 to the present, in the past few decades, countless coins have been issued, and a collecting market has been formed, and in the world of numismatic collecting, the "Five Golden Flowers" have been highly collectible, and have always attracted the attention of collectors, mainly because of their rarity.

"What exactly are the five golden flowers?" Wu Chen admired the shopkeeper for remembering so many things, and he specialized in the art industry, which was true.

"Hehe, China's coins are produced according to the needs of circulation, and if there is no shortage of coins of a certain denomination in a certain year, the coins of this year are often no longer produced." The denomination of "Five Golden Flowers" was not in short supply in the market circulation at that time, so it was not mass-produced and issued. However, the mint produced a small number of them, which were bound with coins of various denominations of the same year to form the "Celestial Empire Coin Set of the Year", which was given away as a collector's item or sold to foreign guests, and thus these five coins were known as the five golden flowers of the coin collection."

The shopkeeper said this, shook his head and said: "Many people actually don't understand, thinking that as long as the coins of these years and denominations are golden flowers. The real "Five Golden Flowers" are the same as other cents of the same era in terms of appearance, denomination and texture, but they were used as collectibles to give to foreign guests and were not circulated in the domestic market! At present, most of the "Five Golden Flowers" that can be seen in the numismatic collection market are returned from overseas, and they are all in the binding box, and there can be no scattered "Five Golden Flowers" on the market!

After speaking, the shopkeeper smiled and quipped: "So, little brother, don't worry, don't regret eating the golden flower in your stomach." There is zero chance of breaking the piggy bank at home or going to the coin market to find the "Five Golden Flowers". ”

Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin heard what the shopkeeper said interestingly, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, Wu Chen was still preparing to call to scold the big tooth loser The idea disappeared, it seems that today I have gained knowledge again, I really heard for a while that the pennies of what year are worth it, so I rummaged through the cabinets to find it!

The two chatted with the shopkeeper for a while, and the three young people were immersed in a nostalgic atmosphere, and childhood memories can always make people happy, perhaps this is also a major function of the collection itself.

Especially Huang Xiaolin, she has actually been a little lonely over the years, she can't tell people a lot of things, even her girlfriends have to hide it, and the pressure in her heart is quite great.

The three of them were talking and laughing, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside, and they all hurried out of the room to have a look. I saw a circle of people at the door of a small store in the corner, and I couldn't see what was going on inside.

This shopkeeper is also a fan of watching the excitement, and he actually took the lead and walked over quickly, and the store door was not closed! Looking at his excited face, Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin looked at each other, what kind of people are these, how hungry they are to socialize! The two hurriedly followed, otherwise if something was lost in the store at that time, whose family would it be!

In the small shop, two black men were arguing around a middle-aged woman. The scene is a little funny, the two black people are not very good at Chinese, and under the emotion, eighty percent of a sentence is English, and one or two Chinese words pop up in between. The middle-aged woman's Mandarin is not good, she becomes Hong Kong when she speaks, and the three of them speak very quickly, not to mention the people outside, I'm afraid it's themselves, and they probably can't hear what others are saying, but it doesn't matter, quarrel, it's more momentum!

The shop was originally not large, and after entering the door, there was a large wooden board on each side, which was filled with some root carvings and copper products, leaving only a passage in the middle, and a counter against the wall again.

The three adults crowded into the passage and quarreled, and they couldn't move away. One of the couldn't make sense, and they were even more anxious, their body language was already rich, and now they were talking and gesturing, their movements were exaggerated, and they accidentally swept the root carving to the ground.

The middle-aged woman was not a vegetarian either, so she was caught and immediately shouted: "Smash the store!" Boy smashed the shop~~"

"What! What! Just as he was arguing, a fat middle-aged man with a big belly walked in separately from everyone, and the exit was an official tone, "Well, ah, what's going on?!" In fact, when he heard the noise, he roughly understood that it was probably the female shopkeeper who blinded the two, and the turned back to find fault. This kind of thing is not unprecedented, and it gives him a headache every time.

So when he hears the noise, he is annoyed! Damn, what's going on! If he didn't come forward, he would definitely not come, but since he came, he had to deal with it, and pointed to the middle-aged woman and said, "Tell me, what's going on!" ”

"Director He!" Although the middle-aged woman was spicy, she was also eating in this market, and she was still a little afraid of the person who looked like a leader, and called out respectfully. But when he turned around and saw the two, he was immediately angry, "Lose her mother!" No Lala ran to my store to make trouble, smashed my store, you see, smashed all my things to the ground, a ......... on the street."

Wu Chen was dizzy when he heard this super Hong Kong-style Mandarin, so Director He also waved his hand and stopped the proprietress "Don't scold, say it well!" Also, speak Hong Kong! ”

"Yes, yes." The proprietress relieved herself and said the reason angrily. Although the two don't know much about Chinese, they also know that they can't let the boss lady say it alone, even if they go to court, they don't have to argue with both sides, so they are anxious to mutter next to them, but this accent is really difficult for people to understand.
