Chapter 13: Lao Diao

"Lao Diao?"

"Yes, this person is Lao Diao, you can just call him Lao Diao when you see him, he has a good temper, and the friends who come call him Lao Diao. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Lao Diao has a great background, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, his ancestors came to Shanghai, and he played antiques in the concession, and he was still operating after liberation, and the Cultural Revolution was defeated into a cow, a ghost, a snake, and a god, and he returned to his old business after the reform and opening up."

"Now, Lao Diao is a well-known figure in the Shanghai antique industry, and he has several shops."

Li Jing sat in the taxi, listening to these interesting things said by Zhu Qiliang, and a field that he had never been exposed to gradually unfolded.

After coming out of the café, Zhu Qiliang took Li Jing to Yunzhou Antique City to find the "old Diao" in Zhu Qiliang's mouth.

Lao Diao is a native of Shanghai, and there is a shop in Yunzhou Antique City, and he usually loves these, and he is a well-known figure in the circle. Today, Lao Diao was looking at the shop, and Zhu Qiliang happened to be free, so he just took Li Jing over.

All the way to here, the taxi stopped, and the two got down.

Li Jing stood here, looking at everything in front of him, and felt that he had entered a new world.

"Let's go!"

Zhu Qiliang shook a fan, big pants, flip-flops, and black sunglasses, and walked like this.

Along the way, Li Jing was eye-opening.

Turn left and right, and finally arrived, and saw Lao Diao.

Lao Diao shook a puff fan, covered his face with a towel, lying on a wicker chair, listening to Kunqu Opera with his eyes closed, and there was no one in the store, only him.

"Yo! Lao Diao, you will really enjoy it, come out to pick up guests. ”

Zhu Qiliang saw it from afar, and shouted in a loud voice.

Lao Diao lay on the rattan chair and didn't move, as if he hadn't heard it.

"I'll bring my friends, there's something good, forget it if you're not interested."

Zhu Qiliang was not surprised at all, and wanted to leave.

"Alright, don't pretend."

Lao Diao reached out and took off the towel on his face, stretched his waist and stood up, looking at Li Jing, the person he had never met.

Only then did Li Jing see Lao Diao clearly, thirty or forty years old, with a big bald head, his forehead was full of wrinkles, and the fat on his face was trembling. He is huge, fat, and wears a string of Buddhist beads around his neck with a kind face.

With a kind face, a wide heart and a fat body, this is Li Jing's first impression.

"Lao Diao, this is my good friend, Li Jing. He had something and wanted to find a reliable antique shop, so I brought him here. ”

Zhu Qiliang introduced.

Li Jing looked at these two people, and suddenly felt that the two of them seemed to be the same fat people, the same cute and stupid, but they were not the same age.

Lao Diao looked at Li Jing, smiled heartily, stretched out his hand, and shook Li Jing.

"Just call me Lao Diao, don't be restrained."

Lao Diao didn't pay attention to Li Jing, his eyes stayed on the box in Li Jing's hand.

"That's what I bring."

Li Jing put the wooden box on the table, then opened the lock, and then opened the box.

Lao Diao stuck out his head and saw what was inside. The silver coins were shining, and there were a lot of colorful banknotes.

With a shrunken gaze, Lao Diao was immediately attracted, and then slowly shocked.

Carefully take it out, put it in front of your eyes and look at it carefully, and touch it again to try.

"It's been dug out of the dirt and left in the air for a long time."

Lao Diao asked casually, holding a Yuan Datou who had been in the Republic of China for three years in his hand.

"Uh-huh! Relatives in the hometown repaired the house and dug the foundation. ”

Li Jing nodded, and no matter who asked, he would answer like this.

"Oh! It's all things from 20 years ago in the Republic of China, and the rest is gone. ”

Lao Diao seemed to be talking to himself, his brows furrowed. Lao Diao's eyes are vicious, and he can see a lot of clues from this.

The coins have no signs of oxidation and corrosion for a long time, and are very well preserved. But it's a bit strange about paper money, which is still very good after decades of being wrinkled or even broken.

And these things are all the same, and there is no extra one. There are also a wide range of varieties that are not available to ordinary people.

In short, there is a weird feeling, although it seems to be all real, and there is no fake appearance at all.

It's like a bank, it's very well stored, and a ridiculous thought flashed through Lao Diao's heart, and he felt that he had thought too much.

From the Republic of China to the present, so many private banks have collapsed and been transformed, and the Bank of Communications and the Bank of China at that time have not all disappeared in the dust, and who will be so complete.

But what about weirdness, as long as it's true, as long as it can be sold, who cares how weird he is.

Lao Diao pressed the doubts in his heart, not paying attention to these, but paying attention to the value of things.

Every time I saw one, it made Lao Diao's heart shake, whether it was in the Republic of China or abroad, there were pounds and dollars.

That's a good thing!

Antiques are rare and ancient, so that these things can be chased by people.

Currency is the same, some are less issued, and those that are not very circulated in the market are valuable.

Lao Diao looked at it carefully and didn't let go of any of them.

When Lao Diao was watching, Li Jing and Zhu Qiliang stayed next to him, Lao Diao looked intently without saying a word, and even the guests who came didn't care, just sat there with a magnifying glass and looked at it.

Of the things that Li Jing took, Yuan Datou can be regarded as the most worthless thing, but it is also worth dozens of yuan.

Among them, the British pound and the US dollar before 1931 are also relatively valuable.

There are also those that cannot be found on the market now, the Feng-made silver dollars that circulated in the Northeast during the Republic of China, and the Sun Datou minted by the Nanjing government after the Northern Expedition.

There were a lot of things in the chest, hundreds of coins, and hundreds of coins.

After a long time, Lao Diao finally finished reading.

"Well, I've got all these things, and to be honest, it's not bad. If it is not too much, it is a little less, and a little more is better. ”

Lao Diao looked regretful, his eyes were staring at Li Jing, as if he wanted to see Li Jing through.

Of course, there are many more, but how can Li Jing take them all out at once.

"This is just a part, I came to explore the way, the antique water is very deep, I don't understand."

Li Jing just smiled helplessly.

Hearing Li Jing say that there were many more, Lao Diao's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"Then say okay, you must come to me."

At this time, Lao Diao finally laughed.

"However, Lao Diao, you can't fool my brother."

Zhu Qiliang naturally refused to let Li Jing suffer, and he wanted to take advantage of everything.

"It's natural, haha."

Two more cups of tea were poured up, and at this time, the transaction price began to be discussed.

From one coin to one banknote, it took a long time to calculate the valuation and get it down.

With so many things, Li Jing received a total of 760,000 yuan, all of which were put into the bank card, and Li Jing also received a text message from the bank.

By the end, it was already past six o'clock.

Lao Diao smiled from ear to ear, like Maitreya Buddha. Zhu Qiliang was a little envious, not only envious of Li Jing, but also envious of Lao Diao.

"Happy working together!"

Li Jing and Zhu Qiliang are separated from Lao Diao.
