"Let's put it this way, but all palace money is a guarantee of high quality, and it is more valuable."

Fang Yuan explained in layman's terms: "And palace money similar to this kind of jade belongs to the jade used for court employment or sacrifice in ancient times. It was something that the emperor or the prince's minister sacrificed to heaven and earth, and the price was certainly not low. ”

"Valuable?" The simple man's eyes lit up.

"What's worth?" At this moment, Bao Longtu and Xiong Mao walked back outside, both of them smiling, obviously gaining a lot.

Fang Yuan looked at it and immediately smiled: "Boss Xiong, it's just right that you're back, a guest has come to the door, and you have brought a good thing, which looks pretty good." ”

"What's good?" Xiong Mao was a little interested.

"Look here, a jade coin." Fang Yuan gestured: "During the Yongzheng period, jade palace money should not be very common. ”

"Really?" Bao Longtu was very interested, and hurriedly leaned over to take a look. I couldn't just look at it, so I picked it up and studied it for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right, it's a jade coin." ”

"To the generation?" Xiong Mao said with interest: "It is said that most of the jade coins of the Qing Dynasty are Xin/Xinjiang/jade, which may be Qinghai material or Hetian jade. If it is Hetian jade, then the value is high. ”

"Youqin, it's hard to judge." Bao Longtu shook his head and said: "It's been buried for a long time, it's a little rough, and the quality is not perfect, which also affects its value." ”

"Isn't it worth it?" The simple man was in a hurry again.

"It's not that it's worthless, it's that it's not that valuable." Bao Longtu explained: "For example, if a jade coin in perfect condition can be sold for a thousand yuan, then a jade coin with Niqin is only worth six or seven hundred. ”

"That's the difference, huh?" The simple man hurriedly asked, "What about this jade coin?" How much is it worth? ”

"Well...... this" Bao Longtu hesitated a little, and turned his head to look at Xiong Mao: "Boss Xiong, what is your market here?" ”

"It's hard to say. I've never done anything like this. Xiong Mao frowned and groaned: "If it's real jade, it's about eight hundred." ”

"Didn't you say that things are scarce and valuable?" The simple man didn't seem to be very satisfied with such a price, and felt that it was far from his psychological expectations.

"Dude, the so-called scarcity, that's relative." Bao Longtu said with a smile: "Compared to metal currency, jade money must be relatively rare. But it's not uncommon. Anyway, as far as I know, jade money originated in the Liangzhu culture era before the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and is a currency that can be circulated. ”

"But in the Zhou Dynasty. Especially during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the improvement of metal smelting technology, metal money began to flourish, and jade money was gradually replaced by metal money. In time. The jade money became a reward. It is generally made by the imperial court and used to worship heaven and earth and reward ministers. ”

Bao Longtu said: "In all dynasties, there are such jade money. You say it's rare, it's true that the number is not very large, but to say that it is unparalleled in the world, then it is not necessarily. All in all, compared to an ordinary copper coin, bid 800 to buy this jade coin. It's fair and reasonable. ”

"yes, I'm not a professional antique shop here, after all." Xiong Mao smiled and nodded, "If you feel like you're losing." Just go to the shop pù next door to the antique street to find someone, maybe the price they offer can be a little higher. ”

The simple man thought about it, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "No, eight hundred is eight hundred, and it will be sold here by you." However, I have a lot of them, do you all want them? ”

"A lot?" Fang Yuan and the others looked at each other, with a little thoughtfulness in their eyes.

"How many do you have?" Xiong Mao asked.

The simple man glanced at the door, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to the movement of the shop, he carefully found a bulging purse in his underwear pocket. When others looked at it, they saw that the purse was half the size of a palm, but it was stuffed with a lot of things, and it had almost turned into a ball.

At this time, the simple man opened the purse lightly, and there was no need to take it out at all, and seven or eight jade coins gushed out with a bang, and they were scattered on the table.

The simple man hurriedly reached out in a panic to hold down the round jade money, and then smiled shyly: "That's it, a total of thirty-one, you either?" ”

"That's a lot." Xiong Mao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his expression was a little hesitant. After looking at these stained jade coins, his voice suddenly became very low: "Brother, are you ghosts?" ”

"What the hell?" The simple man looked confused.

Xiong Mao carefully looked at the simple man's expression, and said tentatively: "Brother, to be honest, these things of yours should be a pit." If you can't tell me the way, I won't dare to accept it. ”

The simple man must not understand the ghost or something, but when he wanted to ask the way, he immediately reacted and hurriedly said: "I am an ancestral thing......"

"Brother, don't laugh." Xiong Mao shook his head and said: "You these things, the 'umami' smell wafts for a few miles, and a clear-eyed person will know that it is a raw pit when he sees it." Of course, even if it's a pit, as long as the way is okay, I'm not afraid. I'm most afraid that this is not only a pit, but also a ghost, so I don't dare to accept it no matter what. ”

The simple man's lips moved, and finally he couldn't help asking, "What is a pit and a ghost?" ”

"A pit is something that has been dug up and unearthed not long ago." Bao Longtu kindly explained: "As for the ghosts, they are the things that are obtained by digging graves and robbing graves." ”

"Wow!"

The simple man got up abruptly and said angrily: "I'm not a ghost, I never do that kind of immoral thing." These things, that's what I dug up from cleaning the cowpen......"

"Big brother, don't get excited." Fang Yuan hurriedly reassured: "It's good to explain the origin of the things clearly, as long as it is not a burial item obtained from the tomb robbery, there is no problem." ”

Bao Longtu also echoed beside him: "That's right, after all, tomb robbery is a crime, and the funeral goods are even more stolen goods, and it is understandable that Boss Xiong does not accept them." ”

"Brother, blame me for being suspicious." Xiong Mao apologized: "Since it's not a ghost, it's easy to say." I asked for all your jade coins, a total of thirty-one pieces, each of which is 800 yuan, and I will give you a whole number, 25,000 yuan. ”

When the simple man heard this, his anger immediately disappeared, and his eyes showed joy: "Really? ”

"Of course." Xiong Mao smiled and said, "Do you want cash, or do you want to go to the account?" ”

"Cash, cash is good." The simple man rubbed his hands, breathed heavily, and said, "Really twenty-five thousand? ”

"You wait...... Xiong Mao smiled, and walked to the counter to open the safe, which contained a lot of cash. He took out a thick stack of banknotes, put them in a row of money counters, and in the midst of the bang, the amount was enough.

"Brother, you order a little." After Xiong Mao handed the banknotes to the simple man, he also took the opportunity to study the jade coins. The situation of each jade coin is different, some of them are muddy and strict, and the quality is not good; Some of them are not muddy, they are very shiny, delicate and beautiful.

Anyway, all things considered, Xiong Mao also felt that he was not a loss.

As for the simple man, after getting the thick stack of banknotes, a red tide of excitement appeared on his face, and he quickly avoided everyone's sight and hid in the corner to count them.

It took seven or eight minutes, counting three or four times in a row, and the simple man was satisfied, hid the banknote closely, turned around and grinned: "Thank you, boss, thank you, big brother, ......"

"Fair trade, no thanks." Xiong Mao smiled and said, "Brother, if there is anything good in the future, even if you come to me, you will not suffer." ”

"Uh-huh!" The simple man nodded again and again, and said restrainedly: "Then I'...... I'll go first. ”

"Walk slowly." Xiong Mao sent people to the door and said with a smile: "Thank you for your patronage, welcome to come again." ”

The simple man nodded vigorously, but his steps were hurried, and as soon as he left the shop, he turned a corner in the street and immediately disappeared without a trace. I guess I feel uneasy about carrying a huge amount of money on my body, and I want to deposit it in the bank as soon as possible......

Xiong Mao saw him off, then turned around and returned to the tea room.

"Congratulations to Boss Xiong, you made a small profit." Bao Longtu smiled and said, "It's time to have a treat." ”

"Well said, well said." Xiong Mao is also in a good mood.

Of course, it's not that they teamed up to make a fool of simple men. The main thing is the price of the receipt, and the price of the shipment, there must be a certain profit margin. This is the law of value of business operations, and there is no question of any moral level.

To tell the truth, even if Xiong Mao sold the 800 yuan purchase for 8,000 or 80,000 yuan, that is his ability, and others have nothing to blame.

"This jade money is still quite good." Bao Longtu sighed: "That person's luck just now was really good, he was able to dig up so many good things by cleaning up the cattle pen." ”

"He said he dug it up in the New Year's Circle, do you really believe it?" Xiong Mao chuckled and said, "Brother Bao, you're too solid-eyed." ”

"What, isn't it?" Bao Longtu was stunned: "He doesn't look like he is lying." ”

"The more honest a person is, the more unnoticeable he is when he lies." Xiong Mao nodded: "Brother Bao, what do you think that person did just now?" ”

"Farming, huh?" Bao Longtu blinked, a little hesitant: "Isn't it?" ”

"No, he's a mason." Xiong Mao was very sure and analyzed: "You can see the cocoons on his hands, not that there are thick calluses on the palms, but on the edges of his fingers, which means that he has a longer time to move bricks and paint walls than to work on the farm." ”

"Boss Xiong, you are really observant." Bao Longtu was surprised: "Then you mean that these things were dug up when he was helping people renovate the old mansion?" ”

"Hehe, it's hard to say, it's hard to say." Xiong Mao is also not convinced: "It's just speculation, you don't have to take it seriously." Anyway, as long as it can be determined, these jade coins are not funeral goods. ”

Between speaking, Xiong Mao raised his glass and took a sip of tea, and suddenly saw something in the corner of his eyes, and looked at it at the moment, and then put down the cup, and reached out curiously to pick up the thing and take a look.

"Where's the copper coin?"

As soon as Xiong Mao glanced at it, he knew that this was not something from his own shop, so he was naturally quite curious to weigh and study. Soon, he noticed the words on the copper coin: "Pray for heaven and longevity...... Wait, here's ...... Usurper money? (To be continued......)
