Chapter 83: Collecting Gold
Inside the counter, there is a lot of jade.
Susie saw some hostas, jade bracelets, the jade quality is not very good, and the price is not too high, just a dozen yuan, dozens of yuan.
Then there are silver dollars, silver jewelry, children's silver legs and whatever, these things Susie is not too interested in.
After reading everything inside, Susie stopped in front of a small blue and white porcelain bowl and did not leave.
The pattern on the small bowl is very exquisite, the porcelain is delicate, moist as jade, Susie asked the salesman to take it out and look at the bottom - Ming Chenghua year.
The moment she saw the bottom paragraph, Susie was a little excited.
Ming Qinghua has always been easy to fetch a high price at auction, although this bowl is small, but the condition is particularly good, and it will be auctioned at least 10 million yuan in a few decades.
Her own collection of a small blue and white bowl in the year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty cost tens of millions.
The condition, pattern, and texture of this bowl are not worse than hers.
Susie looked at the price tag - ten dollars.
The state-run store couldn't bargain either, so Susie took ten yuan, and the salesman opened the ticket, carefully wrapped the small bowl and handed it to Susie.
Susie carefully put her things into her travel bag and tucked them between her clothes, lest she bump them.
Out of the door, Uncle Liao smiled and said, "You like these things?" These things just look good, and they can't be sold. ”
"If you like it, we used to have a Taoist temple, and there are some porcelain vases hidden in the cellar, I will take you there one day, you can pick and choose."
Susie estimated that Uncle Liao's Taoist things should all be from the folk kiln, and those were not worth much.
However, this is also Uncle Liao's kindness, she smiled, "Then thank you Uncle Liao, I just have this hobby and like beautiful things." ”
Out of the cultural relics store, Uncle Liao inquired about the way, and took the two of them to the suburbs.
Seeing Uncle Liao walking in front with a cane, walking like flying, Susie really admired it in her heart.
She turned her head and whispered to Liuzi: "I can't get your master a car or something, if not, it's okay to get a donkey to ride." ”
Liuzi shook his head with a smile, "Then the master should say that I spent money indiscriminately." ”
"Don't worry, let's just go, if we meet a hitchhiker on the way, a kind driver will give us a ride."
He glanced at the back of Uncle Liao in front of him, and said shyly: "It's a shame that Master is disabled, usually we stop the car, and the driver will let us go up when he sees that Master is incapacitated." ”
Uncle Liao didn't reply in front, "Sixth son, are you arranging your master?" ”
The sixth son hurriedly said loudly, "No, Master, how is it possible?" ”
As he spoke, he hurried to catch up.
After walking for a while, Uncle Liao really stopped a tractor, the tractor is not the kind of walk-behind tractor, it is a large tractor with a steering wheel, the car body is empty, and the driver said that he went to the city to pay the public grain and turn back.
Several people climbed into the car and sat in the body, and the wind blew Susie's hair into a mess.
Uncle Liao didn't have a fixed place to collect things, so he followed the driver to their brigade.
When he arrived at the team, Uncle Liao was not busy with things, so he first found a family to live in, and said that the three of them ate and slept at his house, and they would pay eight cents a day.
According to Liuzi, living in a hotel is the worst kind and costs about two cents a bed, and they try to live in the villagers' homes, so that they don't have to cook by themselves and save money.
The family living in this family of four, a couple with a boy and a girl and two children.
The housewife of the family arranged for Susie to sleep with her daughter Xiaoxiang, the boy's house was vacated for Uncle Liao and his six sons to sleep with, and the boy slept with his parents.
When it was time to eat at noon, Susie was very happy, although there were only a few boiled greens and a pickle, but the rice she ate was all white rice!
Susie ate a large bowl of white rice with pickles, and she was still a little unsatisfied.
After eating, Uncle Liao took the letter of introduction and went to the production captain, and Susie learned that the radio factory had also given Uncle Liao the identity of a purchaser and opened a letter of introduction.
The letter of introduction is real, that is to say, you can generously accept gold, silver, copper, tin, and other metals wherever you go, legal, and not afraid of checking.
However, Uncle Liao rarely accepts copper and tin, it is too cheap and heavy, it is not easy to carry, and generally only accepts gold and silver.
Uncle Liao himself didn't expect that the captain here was still a warm-hearted person, and when he showed him the letter of introduction, he actually broadcast directly in the brigade, asking everyone to support national production, and sell all the gold, silver, copper and tin that they don't use.
This saves a few people, you just need to wait for someone to come to the door at home.
Soon an old woman came to her, "You collect gold?" ”
Uncle Liao nodded and stood up, "Let's talk about it in the house." ”
Uncle Liao and the old woman entered the house, but Liuzi and Susie did not follow in, there were too many people, and they were afraid that people would be defensive.
After a while, the old woman came out of the house, and went away with a look of joy and regret on her face.
The sixth son asked Uncle Liao, "How much did you collect?" ”
Uncle Liao said: "Two gold rings, a pair of gold earrings, a total of sixteen grams of gold, saying that her youngest son is going to marry a daughter-in-law, and people want a dowry of more than 100 yuan, which is far from enough." ”
The sixth son tsk, "This Jiangnan person is rich, and the dowry is more than 100!" Let's have a few dozen dollars at most. ”
Uncle Liao smiled, "I didn't spend any money to marry your master, and even the house was the old house of her Lan family, which I only renovated later." ”
While a few people were talking, another person came.
The man was carrying a small burden in his hand, and Uncle Liao motioned to Susie, "You also come in, you have to see more to get acquainted." ”
After entering the house and closing the door, the man untied his baggage and pointed to the contents inside, "Do you accept these?" ”
Susie saw a bronze mirror and a few pieces of gold jewelry, which looked like hairpins and the like.
She reached out to pick up the bronze mirror, and Uncle Liao picked up the gold jewelry.
As soon as he got started, Uncle Liao shook his head, "You are not golden." ”
He looked at it carefully and said affirmatively: "It's silver gilt." ”
The man naturally knew in his heart that he had seen these things in the cultural relics store, and the people over there also said the same, the price they gave was too low, so he didn't sell them.
Uncle Liao said: "If you sell it, I can accept it and give it to you at the price of silver." ”
"You can't get this bit of gold out there."
The man hesitated, "Then do you want this bronze mirror?" ”
Uncle Liao said: "This bronze mirror-"
He saw that Susie was looking over and over again, and reminded: "This thing is useless, and it can't be sold for a few bucks." ”
Susie was a little hesitant to do it, the price of the bronze mirror was very high, and the price was very low, and she didn't know what age the bronze mirror was, and whether it was worth anything.
She thought for a moment, "Two dollars, no matter how expensive it is, I don't want it." ”
No matter what, she can't lose two dollars.
