Gathering (Part II)

Ye Huan thought to himself, the reason why he is a young man who does a little business, not a big business, is because his personality is too sincere and his face is thin; It's not that I'm not smart, but many times I don't have many eyes; As for why Ye Huan himself is doing such an unpopular business as antiques, in fact, this is also very simple, in today's words, it is passed down from generation to generation.

During the Republic of China, Ye Huan's grandfather was a buyer of old goods, that is, the common second-way dealers who collect garbage, in the late Republic of China, Japan invaded China, and then there were eight years of the Anti-Japanese War. It was an era when it was not easy to do any business, especially during the anti-Japanese period, when a large family in Guangzhou fled the mainland and took refuge in Hong Kong, they cleaned up the family's old goods, and it happened to be Ye Huan's grandfather who took over at that time.

In fact, buying old goods was a common thing for Grandpa Ye's generation, but an old thing made Grandpa Ye Huan particularly curious at that time, it was a set of paper antique materials at that time; Ye Huan's grandfather didn't know how to read or write, but he took a fancy to the illustrations that were very exquisite, so he took them home, and was later taken by Ye Huan's grandfather who inserted the door upside down.

"The receiver is unintentional, the viewer is intentional to ......" Ye Huan's grandfather's original words were like this, anyway, when he was in his twenties, the era was in chaos, and he had to support his wife and children, and he was not yet past the age when he wanted to find something to do without working hard and living for his life.

Moreover, at that time, there were all kinds of antiques and antiquities on the streets, and some of them were sold at low prices in order to make a living; In order to survive in the war and famine, some people fell into other people's fights and sold things; There are also some antiquities sold by some big corrupt officials before fleeing the mainland, and the old man took the book to pick up the goods according to the map, but he didn't expect that after a few years, his eyesight is no longer beyond the reach of ordinary people, because he often goes in and out of the door of dignitaries, so he was later given the nickname Ye Jinyan.

Some people say that people who do antique business are not clean nine times out of ten, either they are connoisseurs, or there is no good person in the black market! But Ye Huan wanted to say that Ye Huan's grandfather's generation was really innocent business, because he was purely only doing antique appraisal, and the antique brand name opened by Ye Huan's grandfather at that time was called Jianbao Zhai.

Grandpa Ye Huan's first-hand antique appraisal, but the more he played, the more he became popular, Grandpa Ye Huan said that not only the dignitaries at that time wanted to look for him to see antiquities, but also some professional cultural relics dealers sometimes dared to buy and sell things after his eyes.

I don't know if it was to pretend to be more like, after Ye Jinyan read this set of books on the appraisal of antiques, he became a master of antique appraisal at that time. started with this set of ancient books, and spent a lifetime of hard work to run the 'ancient market' can be described as a remarkable achievement, when the Republic of China did not withdraw from the mainland, the grandfather's family was a big family;

It's a pity that the old man, because of this, couldn't resist the trend of reform at that time, so after being reported, he was almost scared to death, but he burned the antiques and antiques at home by himself, and he couldn't burn them, and finally gave the family compound to the guards at that time as a station, but because of this revolutionary consciousness, it also saved his life.

After such a stir, Grandpa Ye Huan was already desperate for the antique market at that time, and since then, there has been one less person in the antique market who is wearing a suit and a skirt and dressed up indecently.

However, this is the case, and the father of the Ye Huan family is not so easy to be defeated.

Ye Huan's father's kung fu of playing with antiquities has long been out of the blue. At the time of the replacement of the country, the currency of the previous dynasty was worthless, and at that time, people felt that the coins of the Republic of China were worthless, and some people bought a large number of Republic of China banknotes to install fireworks, and some people directly used them to light fires;

Ye Huan's father was only twelve years old at the time, and he followed his father to sell salt in the county seat. Ye Huan's grandfather picked salt to support his family, but Ye Huan's twelve-year-old bean followed him to pick salt as a coolie, and at that time he was just hungry for more candy to eat.

But Ye Huan's father was stunned to buy the banknotes at that time, and I heard my grandfather say that Ye Huan Laodou could pick back a load of Republic of China banknotes every time he picked up two barrels of salt; The result can be imagined, after the reform in 1979, Ye Huan's family threw a box of Republic of China coins into the market every year, and I don't know how ruthless Ye Huan's old beans were collected at that time, and then Ye Huan's family threw out the banknotes of the Republic of China period intermittently for nearly 20 years;

Anyone who has played the Republic of China banknote collection knows that although this game was not worth much money at first, but later the increase in value, whether it was in mainland China or Hong Kong, was not generally good; Looking at it now, a brand new 1931 Republic of China banknote is worth more than a few hundred yuan, and Ye Huan Laodou has at least thirty boxes of this thing!

So the word rich on the side of the rich side was played again within a few years. Later, Ye Jinyan, who missed the old age, reopened Jianbao Zhai in his old age. It's just that the difference is that the Jianbao Zhai of the year was passed on to Ye Huan's generation, and now it has been replaced by three big black lacquer characters of 'Zangbao Zhai', don't look at the difference of just one word, the content of it is not one or two sentences that can be explained clearly.

Treasure appraisal is to help others identify treasures and collect commissions by themselves; And the treasure, haha, there is a lot of content in it, that is to say, not only for identification, but also for a little business, what tomb materials, what exploration equipment, what the farmers there dug up the treasure when they went to the field to cultivate the record, Ye Huan has it all here;

And as long as there is work, it is indispensable to do it yourself, even if you go up the mountain and go to the sea! Even so, few of the things in Ye Huan's small store can be handled.

Ye Huan himself also summarized the reasons why he couldn't do it, and found that there was one reason that was best highlighted:

It is very unacceptable to do antiques in this southern place, after all, in the coastal area of Guangdong, in ancient times, there were no less people scolded as Nanban, which means that it naturally looks down on the economic level of the south, which is also reasonable, a Han Dynasty in the Central Plains first Chang'an and then Luoyang created countless wealthy families, and naturally there are much richer burial habits than Nanban.

Ye Huan thought that this was also his father's such a smart person, which should also be the reason why he had not been able to make antiques again.

So when it came to Ye Huan's generation, because his father went early, but his foresight still had a few boxes of Republic of China banknotes left, Ye Huan was not worried about eating and drinking; But anyone who has done this business knows that things that have been passed down for three generations are more or less a bit complex, so Ye Huan opened this small shop again, anyway, he is the master of his own territory.

……

"Tomb robbing? An ancient tomb dug up by the construction team when they dug the foundation of the villa...... "Ye Huan touched his chin, Ye Huan could imagine that he had frowned, searching for the biggest apostasy that Ye Huan and Ye Xiaohua had done when they were children...... When the Hong Kong Crazy Boy movie was popular, Ye Huan and Ye Xiaohua dyed their hair and threatened the children in the same village, asking Ye Huan to be the boss, does it count? Carrying a dustpan and a hoe to dig other people's sweet potatoes, and then go home and start a small stove, is it counted? ……

Seeing that Ye Huan was a little eager to try, Xiao Hua's eyes blinked shrewdly, and immediately increased the temptation. The boss turned out to be a big man in the provincial city, and he didn't resist the urge to go in and 'take a look'.
