Because of the 360,000 tons of wheat and 40,000 tons of corn kernels, the capital is the best place.

During the Chinese New Year, there is no problem in ensuring the supply of food, and the people in the courtyard are not short of food for the time being, but they are also hungry.

Since I have a little spare money in my hand, I think that I can't keep too much money in my hand, so as not to be the same as before, and I can't buy anything if I have money.

In order to eat meat dumplings during the New Year, there were more than a dozen households together, and they asked Chu Xiangqian to buy a whole sheep.

Chu Xiangqian naturally wouldn't ask for money.

The money for buying sheep was all collected by the second and third masters to find the residents in the yard, and these two people used antiques to settle the money for a sheep with Chu Xiangqian.

By the way, he handed over the treasure he had found in the past month to Chu Qianqian to take a look.

If it's really valuable, sell it.

The sheep was handed over to the three boys of the Liu family and the Yan family, Chu Xiangqian went back to the east wing of the front yard by himself, and it didn't take long for the second and third masters to come to the door with the antiques they had found in the past two months.

The big head is naturally the same as before, all copper coins, but the two uncles are worthy of being the main supporting roles in the TV series, and it is not wrong to say that they are lucky.

I can actually receive the Qing Yongzheng Jingdezhen Kiln Pastel Plum Pattern Plate, this plate Chu Xiangqian can see that it is true at a glance.

And even if it is auctioned at the Hong Kong Island Auction House now, it can be sold for 50,000 or 60,000 Hong Kong dollars.

After a few decades, thirty or fifty million is no problem at all.

But think about the 30 or 50 million in a few decades, it will only be four or five 100-square-meter houses in the third ring road of Beijing.

You can't even buy a set of courtyard houses.

But now 50,000 or 60,000 Hong Kong dollars can buy 10 sets of courtyards like three courtyards at the front door.

In this conversion, it seems to be more valuable now.

But no matter how it is calculated, in the hands of Chu Xiangqian, he must have taken advantage.

"Just this plate and 120 copper coins, I don't want your money for the previous sheep, how about it?"

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui glanced at each other, knowing in their hearts that this plate must be very valuable, but how much, although they could take it to the entrusted store and ask, but the two of them wanted to avoid being targeted.

Since the quotation given by Chu Xiangqian once was similar to that after Yan Fugui went to the entrusted store to ask, he never took the baby to the entrusted store to ask the price.

But think about the 120-pound fat sheep, if you sell it outside, it should cost three or four hundred yuan.

Chu Xiangqian saw the two masters nodding, and then he smiled and reached out to pick up the pastel plum pattern plate, and the sound of +42 gold coupons suddenly sounded in his mind.

I looked at the low model, and then looked at the plum pattern on the plate, and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.

"Two masters, where did you get this baby? If there are any, I suggest you go to other people's places and walk around. Although the Yongzheng Dynasty is less than 300 years away from now, the antiques of the Braided Dynasty are the most valuable and valuable for research. ”

The third master immediately looked at the bangs, and Chu Xiangqian knew that this plate was obtained by the bangs.

"Go forward, give me the real price of this plate, lest I dare not bid for the treasure in my friend's hand."

Chu Xiangqian knew as soon as he heard it that the seller's offer was not low.

But it's right to think about it, this pastel plum pattern plate is very well preserved, but anyone with a little eye can see that this thing is valuable.

If it weren't for the current food shortage, people might not be able to sell it.

But since there is no food to eat, let alone the treasures of the three generations of the Qing Dynasty, even the more precious ones have to be sold.

And if you sell it at this time, the price will be reduced by one or two times.

In the past, a plate worth two hundred is now quoted at most one hundred, and even when encountering an expert like Gong Changqing, it is possible that the price will be pressed to thirty or fifty.

This kind of thing, in the past, Chu Xiangqian and Gong Changqing, the two masters and apprentices, did a lot.

Even the old man and the master of the palace took Gong Er, Yitian and Lao Jiang back to the capital from Hong Kong Island and lived in the courtyard of the front gate three entrances.

The old man Gong actually didn't let go of it, and helped Chu Qianqian collect antiques.

In addition, Chu Xiangqian put the thousands of catties of dried fish sent to the street every month, in exchange for 7,000 yuan, all in the hands of the old man Gong.

Most of them were used by the old man of the palace to acquire antiques and were stored in the secret room of the Qianmen courtyard.

Chu Xiangqian originally wanted to put it all into the warehouse of the novice village, but the old man Gong was also an antique fan.

When I find good things, I like to start researching and researching from time to time.

This is one of the reasons why he is a master of antiques.

To put it bluntly, there are many things to see, a lot to ponder, and the antiques of 9 into 9 are real or false, and you can basically see it at a glance.

Therefore, among the hundreds of antiques in the secret room, there were only about 20 pieces of the old man who felt that he had studied it thoroughly and was not interested, so he put them on a special shelf.

said that these two dozen antiques, no matter whether Chu Xiangqian continued to put the Qianmen courtyard or took it away, it was all up to him.

Chu Xiangqian thought that the more thoroughly the master studied antiques, the more knowledge and experience he would pass on to himself in the future.

In addition, the things were placed in the courtyard of the front gate, and it was still very safe for at least five or six years, so Chu Xiangqian naturally did not put the hundreds of treasures in the secret room into the warehouse of the novice village.

After thinking about it, he said to Liu Haizhong, "If you change it to the year before last, this plate can be bought between 220 and 260." Last year, let me buy it, and I always paid two or three percent off the price.

Even if you don't sell it, I don't have a problem, after all, there were too many people who were short of food at that time.

I have food and meat in my hands, and there is no shortage of people to exchange treasures with me.

Now, if I can give 10 catties of white noodles to this plate, I can count it as kind. ”

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui thought about it and quickly nodded.

Antiques, can't be eaten or worn, when the whole family is hungry, let alone 10 catties of white noodles, even if it is 3 catties, it has to be sold.

If you change it to stick noodles, 10 catties of white noodles can be exchanged for 30 catties, saving one province, which can really make a family of five or six people eat for ten days and half a month.

It's a pity that Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui don't have food and meat in their hands.

Bangs sighed and said, "My friend asked for 100 yuan." I really couldn't make up my mind before, so I found the three masters to work with the staff.

In the end, the two of us partnered up and paid 95 yuan together to buy this plate.

Now it seems that it is more expensive. ”

Before Chu Xiangqian could speak, Yan Fugui said, "It can't be counted like this, we don't have any food or meat in our hands." Last month, you couldn't buy a grain at the pigeon market even if you had the money in your hand.

As for the pigeon market now, there is suddenly food, so it has to be able to survive until now. ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, "Okay, I'll get some meat and dried fish later." Jerky is 2 yuan a catty, dried fish is 1 yuan 5, you should be able to take it to collect antiques.

After that, I will also exchange the jerky with you for antiques. ”

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were overjoyed and nodded busily.

In the past, when I did business with Chu Xiangqian, it was originally about exchanging jerky and some of the money for antiques, but now it is just equivalent to selling a horse of jerky and dried fish to the two of us in advance, as the capital for the acquisition of antiques.

With Yan Fugui's abacus beads, he will not only help Chu Xiangqian get good antiques every month in the future, but also earn more jerky himself.

When the time comes, take it to the pigeon market, whether it is sold for money or exchanged for food, and the family should never be short of food in the future.

If you are a little more proficient in the antique industry, you may be able to make extra money every month.

Over the course of a year, if you are lucky, you may be able to save two or three hundred, or even four or five hundred yuan.

This was unimaginable in the past.

Therefore, Yan Fugui suddenly felt that among the treasures he received, the best should not be kept for himself, but should be sold to Chu Xiangqian.

lest he feel that the treasures he received in the future are not very good, and he will slowly stop accepting them.

Thinking of this, Yan Fugui pulled his bangs and went out, and whispered what he just thought under the eaves.

Thinking about it carefully, Yan Laoxi's worries were not wrong.

However, all the good things were given to Chu Xiangqian, and he was a little reluctant in his bangs, and after thinking about it, he whispered, "Or, every time I take one, next time you will produce another one?" ”

That's a good idea, but when you think about it, it doesn't work at all.

Yan Fugui shook his head and said, "I would like to, but can you guarantee that every time the two of us can receive something as good as this pastel plum pattern plate?"

And if you take one out every time, you will raise the taste of the future. It's better to try your luck and have a little surprise once in a while, and you will care more about moving forward. ”

Liu Haizhong was silent for a while, and nodded helplessly, "Okay, just do what you say." I'll go back and bring the gold and jade ring. ”

After speaking, Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Fugui.

Yan Lao also knew the meaning of the bangs, "Yes, I also brought the copper coin I showed you last time."

If we can sell it for a good price, we will have a good year. By the way, we will definitely receive more good things next year. ”

After listening to it, Liu Haizhong nodded and went home, and Chu Xiangqian naturally heard it clearly.

Seriously, I really remembered that Yan Lao picked up the Fengtian Guangxu Kui Mao for one or two dollars, and this thing will be able to fetch twenty or thirty million in the future.

And how much money can be sold is not the point, but anyone who collects coins does not have a piece of this kind of money in their hands, and is embarrassed to say that they are coin collectors.

It didn't take long for the copper coin and the gold-inlaid jade ring to appear in front of Chu Xiangqian.

You don't need to look at the copper coin, it is basically an open door that can tell the truth at a glance, and Chu Xiangqian is not afraid that Yan Lao will dare to pit himself.

"A hundred catties of jerky, do you want to sell it?"

Yan Fugui scolded secretly in his heart, his bottom line was also 100 catties, but if he didn't bargain, he couldn't think about it.

"Why don't you give 120 pounds?"

Chu Qianqian glanced at Yan Fugui, but this time he surprisingly didn't say anything.

While nodding, he took the copper coin in his hand, and after the sound of increasing the gold coupon sounded in his head, he put it in his pocket and put it directly into the warehouse of the novice village.

Then he picked up the gold-encrusted jade ring in his bangs.

Chu Xiangqian was still ruby at first, but after a closer look, he was sure that it was red coral.

In ancient times, this thing was no cheaper than rubies and agate.

In terms of rarity, it is even more rare.

But in modern society, although red coral is becoming less and less, it is becoming less and less difficult to obtain.

After Chu Xiangqian picked up the ring, the sound of +14 gold coupons sounded in his head, and the secret Dao was really the same as he guessed.

In the bangs, Yan Fugui's eyesight is very precious, and it may only be a few million in a few decades.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and said, "Second master, when this red coral ring is replaced with braids, it will cost three or five hundred oceans, to say the least.

But now, the Great Barrier Reef discovered in Australia alone has more than 2,300 kilometers of coral formations.

In other words, red coral is not a rarity for a long time. It's something that has been depreciating. ”

After listening to this, the bangs were clouded, and he asked with an expression of disbelief on his face, "Forward, you are really not mistaken, how can this thing not be valuable?" ”

Yan Fugui immediately looked at the bangs whose faces had turned black sympathetically, "Old Liu, calm down, calm down." I didn't say that it wasn't worth much, I just said it wasn't as valuable as it used to be.

Even if you lose, you shouldn't lose much. ”

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong slowly calmed down, but he still sat on the bench with an ugly expression.

Chu knew when he looked forward that he must have been fooled.

This is also one of the reasons why it is easy for the layman to fool and lame, some things are precious in your eyes, but the market has actually slowly eliminated that thing.

"How much did you buy?"

Liu Hai was so angry that he didn't even want to speak, Chu Xiangqian could only look at Yan Laojiao.

Listening to his tone just now, not only do you know the price of this red coral, but you should also know who sells it.

Yan Fugui looked at Liu Haizhong and saw that he didn't have any opinions, so he whispered, "This ring was sold to Lao Liu by Master Liu from the Treasure Pavilion of the Liuli Factory." ”

"Surname Liu?"

Chu Xiangqian said secretly, could it be a relative?

Yan Fugui nodded, "Then Master Liu is still Lao Liu's cousin in terms of seniority." However, people have settled in the capital a hundred years ago.

The relationship with his hometown is not close, but no matter how you say it, it is also a relative who has not yet come out of the five suits. Even Lao Liu, the nephew, was calculated.

But. ”

After speaking, Yan Fugui took the ring from Chu Xiangqian's hand, pointed to the line on the inner ring and said, "This treasure is said to be something that Yuan Datou often wore during his lifetime."

Anyway, it's worth three or four hundred, right? ”

Chu Xiangqian immediately guessed that it cost at least more than 400 to buy this ring in bangs, and he really lost a lot of money in this year.

If this red coral ring was worth 200 yuan two or three years ago, then with Yuan Datou, then this ring would not increase to four or five hundred, or even one or two thousand.

Instead, it becomes a hundred, or even a few dozen dollars.

In the eyes of collectors in this year, Yuan Datou is a negative image character, and his things will only make the treasure minus points, not extra points.

But decades later, it's different.

No matter how Yuan Datou is, he is much stronger than the surname Wang.

The things that the surname Wang used before his death, that is the unlucky thing to give away.

Chu Xiangqian talked about the negative evaluation of Yuan Datou in the collecting world, and Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong were surprised at the same time, but also realized that this thing was even less valuable.

The two also truly realized how deep the water is in the antiques industry. It's not taught by the master, some things just rely on yourself, that is, you can't figure it out if you want to break your head.

In the end, Liu Haizhong can only admit bad luck, but he is worried and hated by this old thing, and when the storm comes in the future, his cousin's family may regret why they wanted to pit his relative in the first place.

In the TV series, when the bangs are bad, it is bad and there is no bottom line.

Now that he has the revenge of being deceived by his relatives, once he has the opportunity in Liu Haizhong, he will definitely die to his cousin's family.
