"A hundred." The stall owner said casually that the things on his stall, good things, had already been bought by others, and the remaining purchase price did not exceed ten yuan. Of course, it also depends on the person who cooks the food, according to local conditions, if a person like Yu Lifei exceeds a hundred, I am afraid that he will immediately scare people away.

"A brick is worth so much?" Yu Lifei was really taken aback, half a blue brick costs a hundred, so there are many houses built with green bricks in the village, don't they all become rich?

"This isn't your average brick, see? This is engraved with words, Qianlong 16 years, this is the imperial palace blue brick, my family's ancestral treasure, is an antique. "The stall owner didn't even blink his eyes when he talked nonsense. This brick was collected by him from the countryside, and at that time, he collected a few ancient coins and sent them to his family by the way. I used to let him be a stool, but I brought a stool to the stall in the past few days, but the main function is also to press the angle to prevent the sudden wind from blowing his stall.

"Can't you sell it for a dollar?" Yu Lifei asked, if you hold it in your hand, this brick should only be one-third or one-fourth of the original, but it also weighs seven or eight pounds, and if you really put it in your bag, it will be a lot of burden. If it had been placed before, he would not have bought it, but Wu Wengu promised to find him a job, and it didn't matter if he brought a brick.

"A dollar? It's not enough to even eat breakfast, at least ten dollars. The stall owner exaggerated that from the other party's offer, he knew that he might not be able to sell it at a high price. But this brick is indeed not light, if no one wants it for a few more days, he may really throw it away, such a city wall brick, next to the antique market, placed like the Great Wall, not worth a few dollars.

"Two yuan, no matter how expensive it is, I won't buy it, it's a burden to carry it." Yu Lifei put down the brick and said slowly. Although he knows that there is something in the brick, he is still a layman to antiques, and he doesn't know the current market of Lu Dao, but when he held the brick just now, he had a comfortable feeling. He spent a third of his net worth last night to feel like this, and he can't do such a stupid thing today.

"Five pieces, okay, you can take it." The stall owner stretched out a hand and said firmly.

"Five pieces, plus this piece of ink and this piece of paper...... And this pen. Yu Lifei picked up a two-finger-wide piece of residual ink and a knife of ordinary rice paper on the stall, saying that it was a knife, but he felt that it was less than half a knife. As for the pen, although it looks a little antique, it is actually new.

"This piece of residual ink is not good, but the paper can be given to you, and as for this pen, it has to be counted separately." The stall owner's face was a little ugly, if it weren't for the fact that there were no customers now, he would have ignored Yu Lifei a long time ago. Although the residual ink is not valuable, this residual ink is the real ancient ink, which can be said to be the longest in his stall. Of course, being old may not be valuable, but putting it on the stall is also a joke.

Many people think that antiques are very expensive, but most of them do not know why they are so valuable. Some people believe that the reason why antiques are expensive is because it is a game of the rich, or that the ancients were obsessed at that time, and they would pay any price in order to get their beloved. While others believe that the reason why antiques are expensive is because of their age, as long as they are older, the higher their value will be.

In fact, such an idea is incorrect, and there are two main reasons why antiques are expensive. One is the value of the antique itself, for example, the antique has excellent workmanship and exquisite craftsmanship, and future generations cannot imitate it at all. For example, the calligraphy and painting of the Tang and Song dynasties, the essence of attainment, no matter how hard people in later generations worked, it was impossible to reach the level at that time. There are also copper and jade from the Xia, Shang and Third dynasties, which are very fine, and there are generally words on them, which are of great help to modern archaeology. Even porcelain, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, ancient money, etc., are all because of such reasons.

Another reason is artificial. In fact, really speaking, antique collecting is actually a very boring behavior. What is the meaning of today's people spending manpower, material resources and energy to collect and play with the relics after the death of the ancients?

But for thousands of years, everyone has been interested in collecting antiques, and even obsessed with it all their lives, what is the reason? In fact, this was also a helpless move, and it had a lot to do with the social system at that time.

In addition to eating, sleeping, and resting, we human beings must also think, and when we think, we will have ideas, and then form our own thoughts. And after having ideas, they will put them into action, such as Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, if it were not for the ideas of those great men at that time, I am afraid that there would be no China now.

However, for thousands of years, China has practiced an absolute monarchy, and in order to maintain his dominance, the emperor naturally wants his subjects to bow down to him. All domination instills in the subjects that the monarch is ordained by heaven, and that is the truth. Moreover, if you encounter a tyrant who is faint, if you criticize the current situation and talk about politics, not only will you not be able to protect yourself, but you will also be connected to the nine clans at every turn. Therefore, in ancient times, literati and doctors did not want to let themselves have any wrong ideas, so in addition to studying and engaging in politics, they tried not to engage in other activities.

Of course, today's people's entertainment activities are diverse and colorful, such as singing and dancing, playing cards and gambling, bathing and massaging, and assemblies and associations, which have greatly enriched our spiritual life. But in ancient times, these were all demonic acts, which were not tolerated by national law, and public opinion was not allowed. Therefore, as a last resort, I have to study antiques for recreation. Moreover, antiques also played an important role in the lives of officials and doctors: hiding wealth.

Chinese people have always been concerned about wealth and not revealing it, especially for officials. For example, an official who earns less than 100 taels of silver a year, after ten years, owns more than 1,000 taels of real estate and real estate, such an obvious property, if it is included in the imperial history, it will be a black yarn hat.

However, antiques are different, antiques have no price, a hundred taels of silver, you can buy one tael of silver, you can also sell ten thousand taels of silver, so no matter how many antiques you have at home, it is also reasonable. Therefore, most of the officials in ancient times used collecting antiques as a wonderful way to hide their wealth, which is also the reason why antiques will be precious.

Moreover, in ancient times, the promotion of officials was not timed, and when you were serving in the capital, if you bought real estate, it may be convenient at that time. But once you are transferred, you may not come back in this life, whether it is to hire someone to take care of it or sell it, it will take a lot of trouble. Moreover, at that time, there was no national networked bank, and it was not convenient to store gold and silver, an antique, or equivalent to a cart of silver. Putting an antique in a box is not conspicuous, but once you pull a cart of silver away, if you are told by the imperial history, I am afraid that not only the black gauze hat will not be able to keep it, but even the head will not be able to be saved.

Getting back to the point, let's talk about this piece of residual ink, although it smells fragrant and looks quaint, but there is only a small piece, and there is neither money nor words on it, although there may be a dozen, hundreds of years, but it can't be sold for a price.

"The residual ink is worthless, and I use it, not a collection." Yu Lifei said that spending a little money to do big things is his principle after he came out. Otherwise, if you don't have any money, you will really be stumped by a penny. He may not understand any other antiques, but he is still relatively clear about the pen, ink, paper and inkstone related to calligraphy and painting.

"Young man, I didn't expect you to have the style of the ancients? Plus this piece of residual ink for ten dollars, you take it. The stall owner was very surprised, there are very few young people who write calligraphy, and even fewer who learn from the ancients to study ink and write. Now he understands Yu Lifei's intention to buy green bricks, and it seems that he wants to use them as inkstones.

But there are a lot of inkstones on his stall, and some of the workmanship is very good, why didn't he take a fancy to it? But when you think about it, you can't always make decisions for others. Besides, he may not be able to afford his own inkstone.

"Can you send a pen again?" Yu Lifei asked, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, no pen can write words.

"Then add two more dollars, open a business, and it won't make money." The stall owner said.

Yu Lifei didn't bargain anymore, chose a wolf with a short pen, paid the money and got up and left. He made an appointment with Wu Wengu to meet at the rice noodle shop last night this morning, and now the time is almost up.

When Yu Lifei was about to pass through this antique stall market, he suddenly remembered something, and his footsteps suddenly stopped again.

PS: Ask for a recommended collection.,Because the starting point of the contract hasn't been received yet.,So it's still an exclusive work for the time being.,It can't be released regularly.,So I often forget.。
