Chapter 5: Antiques Market
There was a time before when Zhou Yuwei and Mrs. Li lived together, just to take care of her, but I didn't expect her grandmother to be alone, and Zhou Yuwei had a slight cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and she couldn't stand the mess.
The living habits of the grandparents and grandchildren are not compatible at all, and after a long time, they can't stand each other, and they feel restricted.
Zhou Yuwei moved out to live, always arguing and hurting feelings, holding back and uncomfortable, it is better to come to see grandma as often as now.
After Mrs. Li and Zhou Yuwei, who like to pick up rags, lived separately, they met once in a while, and their relationship was much closer than living together.
It's not that she's unfilial, it's that the old lady is used to living by herself, she can't stand the constrained life, she is in good health, and she is used to living alone, not to mention renting out two houses, if there is anything, the tenant will call them.
Zhou Yuwei said goodbye to her grandmother, walked out of the village, and took the car back to her home in the county seat.
It's five o'clock in the afternoon when I get home, and along the way, I don't have anything else to pay attention to the garbage can, which is not a good phenomenon, thinking about the image of which waste pickers.
Oh!!No!!It's too buried, Zhou Yuwei can't accept that she has become such an image, and her brows are so furrowed that she can catch mosquitoes.
You have to think of a way not to go through the trash can by yourself.
If she doesn't go to the garbage heap to pick up waste, she will be asked to spend money to buy it, but she doesn't have to do anything if she asks for money to collect waste?
Suddenly, her mind flashed, she could try to sell some things in the system mall, yes, she should have thought of this a long time ago, among those ordinary items, there must be something rare and suitable for her to sell.
Immediately enter the system mall, browse the goods to find cheap, there are very few things that can be bought with one point, and at least 10 points to start, but there are really cheap ones to turn over,
They are all some primitive or ancient world products, it is estimated that they think they are not very valuable, and the points are set very low, such as embroidered handkerchiefs, sachets, purses and other small objects, and some carved wooden hairpins, gadgets or something.
These things have low points in the system mall, and they are works of art, plus they are handmade, which is much stronger than the machine assembly line in the world.
Zhou Yuwei looked at her points, and planned to buy two embroidered handkerchiefs, two purses, and two wooden hairpins first, and then place an order after choosing.
After deducting the points, she can see the things she bought in the warehouse of the garbage system, which is so convenient and much faster than a certain Poco.
If you buy something, how do you sell it and exchange it for money?
When you go out to set up a stall, there are too few things, and there are few people who know the goods, and it is not good to hang an online store, and you can't sell it at a high price.
You can go to the antique market to see, where people have high vision and know more goods, Zhou Yuwei didn't want to sell at a high price, just give a few hundred,
When she has money, she will go to her neighbor Lao Huang's house and buy the waste products he collected, and a hundred yuan alone can buy a lot of plastic bottles.
The next day, Zhou Yuwei got up early in the morning, took a car into the city to go to the antique city, she lives in this place belongs to the suburbs of the city, and it is far away to the city center, fortunately, there are many buses that can take the high-speed one stop directly to the city, so that travel is much more convenient.
Take the high-speed bus is particularly fast, less than half an hour into the city, Zhou Yuwei got off with the flow of people, to the east, there are less than two miles, there is an antique collection market, I hope things can be sold smoothly!
Today is not a rest day, there are not many people in the antique market, there are open-air stalls, there are stalls rented at the counter in the greenhouse, and there are people who rent houses to open stores.
This market is the largest antique market in the city, and when Zhou Yuwei used to do business, she often came here to buy goods, and there were many stalls here for wholesale of small handicrafts.
In the nineties, you can still see a lot of genuine goods here, and there are often people who pick up leaks, but then times have changed, and more and more fakes are flooding the market.
Zhou Yuwei doesn't know anything about antiques and never pays attention to them, she should have come to them often before, and probably know which antique shops are more reliable.
Zhou Yuwei likes to read books, especially novels, and there is an area in the market that sells used books, and she often frequents and buys a few.
I walked around at random, didn't buy anything, went directly to those antique shops to observe, to see how the boss was, what attitude she had when she went in, she wanted to find a boss with a good character and attitude.
Some shops Zhou Yuwei went in, the boss loved to ignore it, and when she looked at her dress, she knew that she had no money, and some went in to give a kind word, but the disdain and contempt in her eyes made Zhou Yuwei disliked.
Finally, she walked into an antique shop called Bao Gu Zhai, which was full of dazzling goods, no different from ordinary antique shops, full of all kinds of old objects, the owner of the shop was a man in his forties, with a kind attitude, smiling when he saw everyone, and politely greeting customers.
"Welcome, what do you want to buy this lady?" Qin Hai greeted Zhou Yuwei who had just entered the store with a smile.
"Thank you boss, I'll take a look at it first. Zhou Yuwei smiled, her eyes looked at the goods in the store casually, many objects are antique, with strong characteristics of the times.
After Qin Hai finished receiving two customers, there was no one in the store, and Zhou Yuwei stepped forward, "Boss, may I ask you, do you receive the goods here?"
Qin Hai knew at a glance what kind of person the woman in front of him belonged to, the economy was not very good, it was estimated that he was unemployed, his eyes were red, and he liked to stay up late, he had seen a lot of such people, and they all said that there were ancestral treasures to sell, and most of them were fakes when they were taken out in the end.
The Qin family opened a pawnshop in the old society, and their ancestral ability to identify antiques opened an antique shop in his generation, and the business was so-so, and there was no problem in supporting the family.
He said politely: "Accept it, if it's really a good thing, I will definitely accept it, you take it out and let me take a look." ”
Zhou Yuwei felt that this boss had a very good attitude, and he didn't look down on people, it was worth trying, so he took out an embroidered handkerchief and a wooden hairpin.
"Boss, this is my family's ancestral thing, my grandmother's dowry, I have always kept it, and I don't know if it's worth it?
Zhou Yuwei looked a little apprehensive, this thing was just made by ancient people, is it considered an antique.
Qin Hai first took out a piece of white cloth and spread it on the table, and asked Zhou Yuwei to put down the two things before starting to watch.
Things look very new, supposedly like new works, but obviously with an ancient style, completely different from the current style, you can see that they are all handmade.
And the embroidered cloth and embroidery thread are definitely not things of this era, the quality is relatively rough, not as delicate as now, the hairpin process is not surprising, rare wood, what wood he can't distinguish, and he can't recognize the wood is too incredible, that is, foreign wood, he can also distinguish, just this one hairpin, actually stumped him.
"May I ask what do you call you, ma'am?" Qin Hai raised his head and asked Zhou Yuwei.
"Ahh
"Well, Ms. Zhou, my name is Qin Hai, I am the owner of this shop, I can't tell what age these two things of yours are, but they must be genuine, how much do you want to sell. ”
