Chapter Forty-Seven: Imitation?
Kong Ji Xun Ancient Fang, the store is not too big, the signboard is not small, the name of the store is very elegant, after entering there is a smell of antique and antique breath blowing in the face, all kinds of antique gadgets are also dazzling, a wide variety, there is a big character on the wall hanging a dragon flying phoenix dance, writing: Guest!
It's just that the paws of a beckoning cat on the counter in front of it are dangling a little nondescript......
The boss of Kong Ji Xun Ancient Workshop is quite old, at least seventy years old, with military green sleeved reading glasses, there are not a few hairs left on his head, sitting at the counter and reading the newspaper, hearing Cao Fei's voice, he raised his head and pushed the legs of his reading glasses, but he looked out from above the glasses: "Yes, collect ancient money, you sell it?" ”
Cao Fei kept an eye on it, and didn't take out all the Sui five baht in the money bag, but carefully took out one: "Then you bother to see how much this is worth?" ”
The old man looked at Cao Fei from his glasses again, then took the copper coin, held it up, and squinted at it......
His appearance is very careful, very serious, very focused, at first glance is a veteran of the antique industry, Cao Fei experienced such a scene for the first time, and it is closely related to his future to make a fortune, his heart is inevitably nervous, some cramped even dare not come out, after a long time, the old man put down the Sui five baht in his hand, and said slowly: "If I am not mistaken, this should be five baht!" ”
Sure enough, it's a connoisseur!
Cao Fei asked, "Old man, how much do you think this money is worth?" ”
The old man continued to look at Cao Fei from the top of his reading glasses, did not speak, but stretched out a slap straight up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Five?
Fifty? Five hundred? Five thousand? …… It can't be 50,000, right?
Cao Fei was excited for a while, and just wanted to ask, but saw the old man bow his head and take out a copper coin with a very strange shape from a corner of the counter, only to see that it was full of rust green, full of a strong atmosphere of the era, he put the copper coin on the counter and asked Cao Fei: "Do you know what kind of money this is?" ”
Cao Fei thought about it for a while, and soon had an answer, he had seen the appearance of this kind of coin on the computer yesterday, knife coins!
That's the name.
Cao Fei said: "It should be a knife coin, right?" ”
The old man asked again: "That's right, then do you guess this knife coin is from the Western Zhou Dynasty or the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?" ”
What for?
Cao Fei was a little confused, this old man didn't tell me how much my Sui five baht was worth, but he was talking about some knife coins here...... What does it mean? Do you want to change with me? Well, I've heard that bartering is quite common in the antique world, but ...... Don't, I'm a counterfeit coin dealer, I'm not a real coin lover, I want cash! Ask for cash! Electronic transfers are also possible......
However, although I was calling in my heart, an old man of such an age asked questions, and it was not okay not to answer, so it seemed that he was so rude, right? Phineas is a quality person, so ...... Cao Fei continued to recall very seriously, there was an introduction to knife coins on the computer yesterday.
Knife coins, the types of ancient coins that span between the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou dynasties, are dated from the late Spring and Autumn period to the Warring States period, and are the Yan Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom and the Zhongshan Kingdom...... The main coins used by these four countries have clear records in ancient documents, among which the two countries of Qi and Yan are the most, and now the old man took out the knife coin, which seems to be ...... It should be a "Qi Ming knife", also known as a "big knife...... One of the Qi State Sword Coins!
Cao Fei hesitated: "This should be...... Eastern Zhou's, right? ”
The reason why I say this is because the knife face of the "Qi Ming knife" has the word "Ming", which is said to be cast by the Yan general Le Yi who broke Qi and occupied more than 70 cities in five years, and the Yan country where Le Yi is located is one of the seven heroes during the Warring States Period, that is, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so it ...... Cao Fei guessed that this "Qi Ming Knife" was from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
However, when he said this, the old man shook his head.
"Isn't that right?" Cao Fei was stunned for a moment, but he was not too surprised, after all, he didn't know anything about ancient money, and he knew that some furs were all learned and sold, and it was normal to make mistakes, so he immediately changed his words: "That...... Is it from the Western Zhou? ”
I thought I was right this time, but ...... What Cao Fei didn't expect was that the old man actually shook his head again.
Cao Fei wondered: "Old man, what is your knife coin?" ”
"Last week's!"
"Last week's? What does it mean? Cao Fei was a little confused.
"It's made last week, it's the same as your five-baht, imitation!"
No way!
Cao Fei was all kinds of messy, and he was shocked at the time...... Imitation? This is the original Sui five baht that Fei Ge personally brought back from the end of the Sui Dynasty, and it still has the body temperature and taste of Qin Qiong and Qin's second brother on it, you actually say that this is imitation?
Cao Fei really wanted to ask: "Are you too old and the prescription of your reading glasses is not enough?" ”
His face turned a little blue, but the old man continued: "Young man, in general, your five-baht imitation is good, the workmanship, the text, including the cloud edges and patterns on it, are very similar to things from that era, if I read it correctly, it should be an imitation of the Sui Dynasty, but it's just that the appearance of this money is too new, it looks like it's imitation, I have a five-cent coin in my pocket that has been playing for several years and looks thicker than your money, wah, wow, wow, ......wow,
Speaking of ancient money, the old man is very professional, he comes as soon as he opens his mouth, and he talks endlessly, and the conversation box is boundless as soon as it is opened...... But how could Cao Fei have the patience to listen to him talk about this, and asked a little anxiously: "Old man, what are you talking about...... To tell you the truth, I don't understand, just give me the truth and tell me how much the money is worth. ”
The old man's gaze looked over his reading glasses, and again, he held out five fingers.
"Fifty?" Cao Fei asked suspiciously.
Now he doesn't dare to call a high price, the old man said that it was an imitation, and if he said anything about 550,000 yuan, he might be directly regarded as mentally ill, and he didn't even dare to ...... Straight out it is fifty.
But, fifty farts!
The old man smiled: "Fifty? Why don't you go to heaven? Five pieces! ”
"Five bucks?"
"This is still in my place, see that your five-baht imitation craftsmanship is good, maybe you can fool tourists, when souvenirs are sold, I will give you five yuan, if it is someone else's, at most this amount!" The old man said, stretching out his hand and gesturing the word "four".
Four bucks?
Cao Fei was desperate, could it be that his dream of getting rich came to naught at this moment? No! No! No!
A trace of luck still remained in Cao Fei's heart: "What if this old man is wrong?" What if this old man deliberately fooled me when he didn't understand me...... No, shop around, I can't just listen to him, I have to go to someone else's house again......"
