Chapter 43: The Opening

Seeing the person clearly, the fat man glanced at me. I understand what he means, after all, this is the first business to open the door, and it is better not to mess it up, and also to have a good luck opening the door.

"Uncle." I rushed to the person and politely said, "Come in and sit down and have a cup of tea." ”

"I won't drink the tea, I just want to ask you if you accept the ancient goods." The man was still standing in the doorway, and his footsteps did not move.

"Accept it, uncle." I smiled and said to him, "You have something you want to sell?" ”

"Hmm." The visitor nodded, looking very restrained.

The fat man took out a cigarette from his pocket, stepped forward and politely handed the cigarette to light the fire, and after the man took two puffs of the cigarette, the atmosphere began to ease.

"Brother, what is your surname?" The fat man was very shameless and cheap, and he didn't forget to smile and glance at me when he was done, I was convinced that this product was deliberate.

"Your surname is Li, and everyone in the village calls me Li Er."

"Second Brother Li, Second Brother ......" The fat man started a family routine with Li Er on the side.

From their conversation, it was learned that this Li Er's family lived in Lijiabao Village, Xicheng District, and were ordinary people who had been farming for generations. Now his son wants to marry a daughter-in-law, and the bride price alone will cost hundreds of thousands, not counting buying a house and a car. A farmer with his duty can't make a few dollars all year round, and naturally he can't get the money for his son to marry his daughter-in-law. What to do if there is no money, Li Er remembered the antiques left by his ancestors at home. Antiques are dead things for the common people after all, and they are also in vain to occupy a place, so it is better to exchange money for emergencies, so Li Er took the antiques into the city.

Listening to Li Er say this, I was a little puzzled, there is a special antique market in Hedong City, although there are few serious things in it, but it is better than my small shop that has not officially opened. This Li Er did not go to the antique market with antiques, but specially went to the pedestrian street to find me such a small shop, which has to be suspicious.

The fat man should have thought of this layer as well, and he asked casually: "Second brother, how did you know that we collect ancient goods?" ”

"How do I know?" Li Er was stunned for a moment, his face was full of confusion, he looked at the fat man and then at me, and then asked, "Isn't it your advertisement?" ”

"Advertising?" The fat man and I looked at each other, and both of them entered a state of confusion at the same time.

"Yes, I saw it in the newspaper this morning......" Li Er also hesitated when he said this, he looked left and right, and then said: "Could it be that I made a mistake, that is not your advertisement?" But the house number is the right ......"

The fat man reacted in advance, and pressed Li Er, who was about to get up, and said: "Second brother, you sell it and we collect it, how can this be wrong, the advertisement is indeed our promotion, but I didn't expect the newspaper to publish it so early, besides, you walk around this pedestrian street and go to see if there is a second antique shop......"

"Oh......" Li Er heard the fat man say this, and sat down again, his expression still with a little doubt. He took out a folded newspaper from his pocket, opened it, swiped it with his hand, and then spread it out in front of him and squinted at it.

"Address to ...... People are also ......" Li Er muttered as he watched, his eyes swept over the newspaper.

The fat man and I looked over at the same time, and we caught a glimpse of the page of the newspaper that Li Er was reading from a distance, and there was an advertisement printed on the full page of color pages: high price for antiques, free help for appraisal, etc., and used a full page with enthusiasm...... And it also has a picture of me sitting in the antique shop and working......

I looked at the newspaper with black lines all over my face and immediately thought about the picture on it. It was taken a few days ago when Manager Yang under Liu Rumei came to Xi'an to talk to me about the acquisition, but I didn't expect him to use it here.

The fat man had sharp eyes and also saw my picture. He froze for a moment, then looked at me with a little confusion and said, "It's Koyanagi, right?" ”

I didn't answer out loud, just smiled wryly and nodded.

The fat man grinned and gave me a thumbs up for an awesome gesture. Then, he stepped forward and pointed to the photo in the newspaper and said to Li Er: "Second brother, isn't there a photo here, look at the person on it, isn't he the one on it......?"

Li Er also saw it, nodded, put down the newspaper in his hand, and then asked, "Do you accept silver dollars?" ”

Hearing him say that he was going to sell silver dollars, my eyebrows furrowed. The price of silver dollars has been stable in recent years, but there are too many fakes on the market, and the trading volume has been affected.

The fat man looked at me, and I nodded. The fat man immediately understood, and said to Li Er: "Accept, of course ......"

The fat man and Li Er continued to chat, while I listened quietly. I saw Li Er take out a few silver dollars from the pocket of his jacket and spread them on the table next to him, I glanced at them from a distance, and I was somewhat disappointed.

Among these silver dollars, there are "Yuan Datou", "Single Dragon Coins" and "Station People Coins", which are in good and bad condition, mainly because the amount is too small. I heard Li Er say that he was going to sell ancient goods to his son and daughter-in-law, and he was afraid that it would be delusional to rely on this little thing alone, unless he had a better "Double Dragon Coins" here.

I stepped forward and carefully identified a few silver dollars on the table, and the conclusion was still the same as before, and there were no "double dragon coins" found in it, just a few ordinary silver dollars, I roughly estimated the valuation, and the sky could give him a 2,000 yuan.

I hesitated for a moment, and then said to Li Er: "Second brother, if only these few silver dollars are afraid to disappoint you." ”

"What, don't you take this?" Li Er asked with some disappointment.

I hurriedly corrected my statement: "Yes, but it is a little more difficult for you to rely on these silver dollars to marry your children." ”

I saw that Li Er frowned and said nothing, and then said to him: "These pieces are not very good in terms of quality or type, I have just estimated the price, and together they can give you two thousand." ”

When Li Er heard me say this, his expression turned from disappointment to surprise. Some people value what they have in their hands very much, they blindly think that it is valuable, and they are often suspicious of what others say about it. I think Li Er is this passer-by, looking at his appearance, my heart suddenly turned over, thinking that this deal is a fold.

"These can be sold for two thousand?" Li Er asked with surprise on his face.

"Ah......h

"Can you take this?" Li Er then asked.

"Yes......" I nodded.

"Is it for cash?" Li Er continued to ask.

"It's cash, if you want to scan the QR code, you can ......" I continued to nod.

Li Er's face was happy at this time, and he asked, "Boss, you can accept more silver dollars, right?" ”

"Yes......" I continued to nod.

"Boom......" Li Er put away the silver dollar on the table, put it into his pocket from the new, and then threw down the sentence "You wait" and left in a hurry. Behind him, only me and the fat man were left staring at each other with a pair of confused faces.

"What's the situation?" The fat man asked me.

"Probably...... He's not just a few. I thought about it and said.

"This old man is interesting...... the fat man pursed his lips, then picked up the newspaper that Li Er had just dropped and flipped through it, he said while reading: "Hedong Morning News...... Hey, I said rubbish, why do you think there are newspapers now? Don't everyone use mobile phones? ”

"Don't think that, it's just that you don't read the newspaper." I also leaned over to read the newspaper with the fat man, and said to him while reading: "As far as I know, the newspaper has never been broken, and there are still many people who like to read the newspaper......

"Tut-tut......" The fat man smacked his lips while looking at it, and said: "I really don't understand these collections, everything is picked up at home, a stack of newspapers can be worth a few dollars, there seem to be more than 20 expired cans in my warehouse, you ask if anyone wants to ......"

"Phew!" I knew he was talking nonsense, so I punched him up.

"Hey, hey, hey......" the fat man laughed on the side.

The fat man quickly flipped to the full page of the advertisement, looked at the photo in the middle and said, "Waste, I think this picture is too P." ”

"What?" I don't understand.

The fat man pointed to the middle of the newspaper and said, "You see that the people up there look more energetic, where is this like you." ”

"Phew!" I went on to quench him.

"Hey, hey, hey......" The fat man then laughed, and then asked, "Why did Xiaoyanagi remember to put an advertisement in the newspaper, you didn't tell her, did you?" ”

"Hmm." I nodded.

"Tut-tut......" The fat man continued to smack his lips, and then said: "It is said that it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree, and you can rely on the big tree of Xiaoliu, and the waste is also in the newspaper, no, no, I have to collect it......

The fat man completely ignored my disdainful gaze, and as he spoke, he folded the newspaper and put it in his pocket as it stood.

The fat man looked at me and said, "That's good......

"What?" I don't understand.

The fat man replied: "It's that Xiaoyanagi has already put out the advertisement, so you don't have to worry about finding a source of goods." ”

"Oh." I nodded, and it was exactly as the fat man said.

……

"Boss......" The sour Shanxi accent sounded again, and I saw Li Er walking in with a snakeskin bag in his arms, which looked very heavy.

I hurriedly stepped forward to help him and gently lowered the bag on the ground with him.

"I'm afraid that others will see it, the bag is tighter......" Li Er said as he untied the snakeskin bag, and soon the outer layer was untied, and the inside was still wrapped in a layer. Li Shuang hurriedly continued to untie it, and after he untied it, I realized that it was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket.

"This jar is all ......" Li Er said, opened the lid of the jar wrapped in the middle, took out a silver dollar from it, and then took out a few in his pocket, spread them out in his hand, and said, "Boss, these are all the same, you can give an estimate." ”

My eyes fell on the jar of his coins, and I glanced at it, it was a blue and white porcelain jar with a lid, which was about an object from the kiln of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and it was in complete condition and not small in size. Looking further into the jar, there is a jar full of silver dollars, of different varieties and different qualities, and it is estimated that there are definitely hundreds of them.

The fat man also saw these silver dollars, and said in surprise: "Second brother, your family is not thin!" ”

Li Erhan smiled silently.

I began to take silver dollars out of the jar, sorting them as I went, and there were dozens of silver dollars in them, and they were in good condition, but after careful identification, I didn't find a single counterfeit. I nodded and said to Li Er: "Second brother, if you come to the door this time, you will open a ticket for me, and I will never lose you in terms of price, but this amount is a bit large, you allow me to calculate carefully." ”
