Chapter 789: The Value of Culture
"It's really lively here!" Looking at the crowded night market, Huang Chong said that although the flow of people here is quite inferior to that of Panjiayuan and Liulichang, it is the capital after all, and it is quite rare to have this scale here.
"Now the night market in Peng Chau is also one of the best cultural and entertainment markets in China." Shi San'er said: "A large number of businessmen can gather here every day, and there are many merchants and the like, these people are running around, receiving goods all over the country, and selling them everywhere, so things here are changing every day, some people buy them, some people sell them, and it is very lively." ”
"Let's go, let's go!"
More circulation, more babies will naturally be more, of course, this requires eyesight, in general, there are fewer good things, picking up big leaks, it is getting more and more difficult.
"A lot of old coins." They came to a stall with piles of ancient coins.
"Most of them are five emperor money." Huang Chong looked at it and said that the so-called five emperor coins are coins issued by the five emperors of the Qing Dynasty, namely Shunzhi Tongbao, Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao, which are also the most surviving copper coins.
To be honest, it was very disappointing to Huang Chong, it was not a good thing, but I think about it, if it is a good thing, how can it be stacked here.
These copper coins are obviously the goods that the stall owner has skewered from other vendors.
According to Huang Chong's experience, there are many stall owners selling ancient coins on the antique street, but most of them are forged later, of course, there are no real ancient coins, but most of those are just ordinary goods, like these on the stalls now.
These copper coins of the Qing Dynasty are not a rare commodity, even if there are those who are willing to collect, it is enough to collect a set, so most of the ordinary copper coins like the Five Emperors have been circulating in the market, and they can't sell much at all.
The stall owner in front of him will have so much five emperor money, which makes Huang Chong more surprised, is it a mallet?
Although there are a lot of ancient coins here, Huang Chong quickly rummaged through them, most of them are ordinary goods, but after all, there are many of them, there will always be some good things, Huang Chong picked out a few and took them directly in his hand.
"This little brother has good eyesight, these are all copper coins of the Qing Dynasty, they are all good things, authentic ancient coins." After seeing Huang Chong's movements, the stall owner said.
"Hehe, boss, what you say is boring, who doesn't know these five emperor money." Huang Chong said as he lined up the ancient coins he picked on the ground: "I'm also planning to collect a set on a whim, boss, make a price!" ”
"This brother is an expert." The boss gave a thumbs up and said, "Among these copper coins, these few are good things, and you can pick them out for me at will!" ”
"Huh." Everyone laughed.
The boss was not angry, picked up the copper coin, and said: "These copper coins are the best of my coins, like this Shunzhi back 'East' word is rare, and the quality of this coin is so good, whether it is luster or handwriting, it is so perfect, such Shunzhi Tongbao is rare." ”
Huang Chong nodded and said: "Shunzhi's back 'East' and 'Ning' words, as well as Kangxi's back 'Chang' and 'Lin' words, all have a bit of collection value, boss, make a price!" ”
These coins picked out by Huang Chong, without exception, are all Manchu and Han money, with the face text "Shunzhi Tongbao" in Chinese, and the name of the Discipline Inspection Bureau on the back, the name of the Manchu Money Bureau on the left, and the name of the Han Money Bureau on the right.
Shunzhi 17 years, the Ministry of Household decided to reopen the provincial money bureau, in addition to Baoquan, Baoyuan two bureaus cast money is still Manchu money bureau, other provinces of the money bureau cast money back, are Manchu and Han money, a total of 12 bureaus, namely "Lin, Ning, Yuan, Xuan, Tong, Jiang, Dong, He, Ji, Chang, Zhejiang, Shaanxi", this kind of money is better, but the amount of minting is the most, and there are more survives.
What Huang Chong picked out is the Shunzhi Tongbao and Kangxi Tongbao in the Manchu and Han languages, and there are Dongzi, Linzi, Ningzi, and Changzi in the Chinese language.
The coinage of the Qing Dynasty is very many, and it is also very messy, but there are more than 500 kinds of coins in the Xianfeng Dynasty, and there are dozens or hundreds of versions in an era name, which does not include short-lived coins and commemorative coins such as "Qixiang" and "Daya", as well as machine-made coins in various places.
"This brother is a big connoisseur at first glance, I'll give you a real price, a hundred!" The boss said.
"All eighty, if you agree, then make a deal, if you don't agree, then forget it." Huang Chong said angrily.
"Brother, you directly cut ten times the price, it's too ruthless!"
"Boss, we are all understanding people, these copper coins, except for the four back money, the other six are ordinary Tongbao, the purchase price will not exceed two yuan at most, to you, I am already very sincere at eighty." Saying that, Huang Chong picked five more at random, made up fifteen, and said, "Add these five, one hundred." ”
"This, I can't do business, at least five hundred!"
"Then forget it." Saying that, Huang Chong stood up.
"This brother, this brother!" Seeing that Huang Chong really planned to leave, the boss hurriedly said: "Okay, then one hundred, the deal is done." ”
"Okay."
……
"I didn't expect Brother Huang to usually look like Sven, this bargaining is still a good hand." Brother Ma said: "What's the doorway here, brother, also tell me, let me increase my knowledge, are you missing again?" ”
"It's not a leak, it's just a small leak." Huang Chong said.
"Oh, you really caught a leak!" Several people were shocked when they heard this.
"It's not a leak, it's actually culture." Huang Chong said, arranging the ancient coins in his hand into three rows.
There are a total of five pieces in the first pile, the first one is Shunzhi back east character, and the other four are Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao.
"This is the Five Emperors Money, also known as Purple Qi from the East." Huang Chong pointed to the word "east" and said.
The second set is Kangxi Tongbao, with the word Pro on the back.
"This is the Five Blessings."
The last set has two pieces, namely Shunzhi Tongbao with the word "Ning" on the back and Kangxi Tongbao with the word "Chang" on the back.
"Changning Shuangquan, although there are a lot of these two coins in the world, it is not easy to put them together, so although there are only two coins, the price should be the highest." Huang Chong said.
"I've seen it!" Brother Ma exclaimed, Zhuang Rui and Shi San'er also nodded, I didn't expect Wen Yu to be able to play like this.
"Literature and play, nature and culture are related, and the stall owner probably doesn't understand this, otherwise it is really not easy to get it cheaply." Huang Chong said.
"And how much does this sell for?" Brother Ma asked.
"The implication is good, and the quality is also very good, Brother Ma, if I sell it to you for 10,000 yuan, do you want it?" Huang Chong asked.
"You can think about it."
"Good guy, it's a hundredfold profit if you change hands."
