Chapter 169: The King of the West Rewards Money
"Of course!" The shopkeeper didn't hesitate at all, he directly took down the painting, then rolled it up and handed it to Ye Chaoyang.
"Handsome guy, Boss Liu, you guys go slowly, I'm going to close the door and send things over."
"Okay, I wish you a prosperous business, boss." The corners of Ye Chaoyang's mouth hooked slightly, he held the scroll in one hand, turned around and walked towards other places.
The two quickly got into the car.
Uncle Liu said with some excitement: "Chaoyang, isn't this painting really a treasure?" ”
"Baby, of course." Ye Chaoyang said with a smile.
Uncle Liu also laughed, "I understand, you wanted to buy this painting from the beginning, but because you noticed that the guy named Qi or something was watching outside, you deliberately made a false shot, indicating that you want to buy that golden toad, right?" ”
"It's true that a false shot, but I didn't know that Qi Weiyuan was out there." Ye Chaoyang shook his head and smiled.
When he told the boss that the new house should be decorated, Qi Weiyuan had not yet arrived outside the store, and he didn't know that there was such a person as Qi Weiyuan.
"Originally, I was going to touch the painting with my hand when I promised to buy the golden toad, and then buy the painting."
"Huh?" Uncle Liu was stunned for a moment, "What does this mean?" ”
"It's very simple, Uncle Liu, you just bought something, and you will take me to the antique shop immediately, although the boss has a limited eyesight, but after all, he is an old antique dealer, and he will definitely see a clue." Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "If I had said that I wanted to buy that painting from the beginning, he would definitely deliberately raise the price." ”
"For example, the golden toad, he opened his mouth for 200,000."
"Isn't it worth the price?" Uncle Liu couldn't help but ask.
Ye Chaoyang shook his head and said, "It's far from worth it." The so-called golden toad is only plated with a layer of gold on the surface, and the main thing is actually brass. ”
"And it's not something from the Ming Dynasty, but a product of self-production and self-sale in the last era, when the economy was sluggish and a large number of workers were laid off. Don't say 200,000, 20,000 will be a loss! ”
"Ahh Uncle Liu opened his mouth wide, he was also in his fifties, and he also experienced his parents being laid off when he was a child.
At that time, layoffs were in batches, generally in a family, if both parents went to work, one was laid off first, and the other was working, at least barely able to maintain the family's livelihood. But later, the economy was still sluggish, so my parents were laid off.
At that time, you were really poor, and even if you were still working, the factory couldn't afford to pay you. Some factories had no choice but to send things.
Fortunately, the food factory was okay, at least the food was the most popular at that time. But some steel mills, ceramic factories, that is really obedient, steel ceramics!
The workers had no choice but to find a way to sell these things for food.
Uncle Liu thought of the days when he was a child, when several brothers and sisters in the family were hungry every day, and couldn't help sighing, "That boss is too black-hearted, such a thing, I want to sell you 200,000, damn." ”
"Didn't I buy it?" Ye Chaoyang smiled and removed the scroll.
Uncle Liu was taken aback, "Ouch, Chaoyang, what are you doing here." ”
"What do you do with a good painting?"
"Uncle Liu, don't panic, this painting is not worth the painting, it is the thing of this painting scroll." The corners of Ye Chaoyang's mouth outlined a happy smile.
"Isn't painting worthwhile?"
"Yes, this painting is at most from the previous era, although it is an old thing, but it is worth three or four hundred yuan at most." Ye Chaoyang said. "But it's a different story."
When he said this, he used a force in his hand, and with a click, the painting scroll made of wood immediately cracked in half!
Click, several things fell out.
Ye Chaoyang's hand was quick and he grabbed the thing easily.
"What's that?" Uncle Liu's eyes widened, he never thought that there were several things hidden in such a piece of wood.
Ye Chaoyang spread out his palm, and it was three things wrapped in oilskin paper, which looked like coins or something.
"Uncle Liu, these are three coins, some people are probably afraid of being discovered, so they hide in this scroll."
"Coins?" Uncle Liu looked at it, and drew it with his hand, feeling that it was much larger than the current coin, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Is there such a big coin?" ”
"Ancient coins, there are such big ones." Ye Chaoyang smiled, peeled off the oily paper of a coin, the coin was shining silver, completely different from the ordinary ancient coins full of patina, and there were a few words on it.
Uncle Liu squinted his eyes and looked at it, "Are these two words the King of the West?" ”
"Good eyesight, this is exactly the king of the West rewarding a lot of money." Ye Chaoyang said with a smile.
"The King of the West is rewarding?" Uncle Liu read it for a while, and suddenly scolded angrily: "Qing Dynasty lackey Wu Sangui? It's the money for this dog day. ”
"It's not Wu Sangui, it's Zhang Xianzhong!" Ye Chaoyang shook his head and said, "Wu Sangui is the king of Pingxi. ”
"Oh, it turns out that it's not this dog traitor, then this money is good." Uncle Liu smiled and asked, "But who is this Zhang Xianzhong?" ”
"Being a prince in ancient times, such a great majesty, is also a celebrity."
"He's not a prince, he's an emperor." Ye Chaoyang smiled and said: "Zhang Xianzhong was a hero in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, who established an empire and called himself the Emperor of Daxi. ”
"But this empire quickly collapsed, and it is not orthodox, so in our regular history of China, it is not worthy of any name."
"But after all, the Great Western Empire has issued its own coins, and the number is extremely rare, and the production is very well-made, so the players who appreciate the ancient coins in later generations will call the Western King's reward for the great money as an ancient coin treasure, which is very valuable."
"How much is it worth?" Uncle Liu asked.
"This one is in good condition, around 150,000."
"How much?"
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
"Shhh Uncle Liu took a deep breath, looked at the coin in his palm in disbelief and said, "Such a small coin can be worth hundreds of thousands?" ”
"Chaoyang, you're not kidding, are you?"
"Of course not." Ye Chaoyang smiled and began to unwrap the oilskin paper of the second coin.
Uncle Liu seemed to have discovered something, and asked a little strangely: "Chaoyang, this coin can't be fake, right?" ”
"What's wrong?" Ye Chaoyang said suspiciously.
Uncle Liu pointed to the big money of the West King and said, "You see that this coin is shiny and shiny, silver, it doesn't look like an antique at all." ”
"The bronze tortoise shell from before, there was a lot of green mold on it. Even if this coin has been hidden in the scroll, it shouldn't be green at all, right? ”
"Uncle Liu, the West King's reward is made of sterling silver."
