I'm afraid I can't hide my ability

Chapter 73 Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Holy Treasure
Soon the stinky tofu was fried, and Hu Yan came to Qin Zixuan's side with a small box and a smile.

"Here, try it."

"don't want……"

Qin Zixuan shook her head decisively.

"It's really delicious, you'll know after a taste." Hu Yan tied a piece with a wooden stick, and then handed it to Qin Zixuan.

"I don't want to taste...!"

Qin Zixuan quickly stepped back, his eyes full of disgust.

"Okay, then I won't force you, but it's your loss if you don't eat."

Seeing that Qin Zixuan seemed to be unable to accept the stinky tofu, Hu Yan stopped forcing her and started eating on his own.

Qin Zixuan looked at the nonsense with enjoyment on her face, and frowned tightly. She really couldn't understand what delicious stinky tofu was.

The night market was very lively, and there were long queues in front of many stalls. It was really the first time for Qin Zixuan to visit the night market, and many things were novel to her.

"Young man, buy a flower for your girlfriend..."

Hu Yan was eating stinky tofu with relish, when an old lady with silver hair walked towards her. She had a bamboo basket hanging on her arm, and inside it were packed roses.

"Uh……"

"girlfriend??"

Hu Yan turned to look at Qin Zixuan next to him, who had a pretty face and blushed slightly.

"One flower costs three yuan, two flowers cost five yuan..."

The old lady said with a smile, the price is quite reasonable, much cheaper than those sold by the children selling flowers on some pedestrian streets.

But the problem is, Qin Zixuan is not his girlfriend.

Therefore, nonsense is a bit embarrassing.

"Young man, your girlfriend is so beautiful, buy two flowers for her..." the old lady said again.

"This one……"

Hu Yan turned to look at Qin Zixuan to ask for her opinion, but Qin Zixuan had no intention of expressing his opinion at this moment.

"Ahem, okay then..."

Hu Yan took out five yuan and handed it to the old lady.

"Young man, you should cherish such a beautiful girlfriend..."

While handing the flowers to Hu Yan, the old lady said with a smile, and then went to find the next target of selling flowers.

Hu Yan held two roses in one hand and a paper box containing stinky tofu in the other. Then, he looked at Qin Zixuan in embarrassment, and handed the roses forward: "How about you take the roses first?" ?”

"Hold it?"

Qin Zixuan rolled his eyes. Is this the attitude he should have when giving flowers?

In addition, this is the first time she has received two roses from someone. Before that, she has received too many flowers. The most time, a suitor gave her nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand roses. rose.

Therefore, the way and quantity of flowers sent by Hu Yan are the lowest at this moment!
"It's not easy for the elderly. Take care of the business and don't think too much about it." Hu Yan added.

"understood……"

Qin Zixuan gave Hu Yan a blank look, and reached out to take the two roses. She had seen too many glib and eloquent men, but this was the first time she had seen a man like Hu Yan.

He is stupid and doesn't know how to make girls happy.

In fact, this is not to blame for nonsense, the main reason is that he really has no experience in flirting with girls. His first and only girlfriend was someone who took the initiative to pursue him.

The two continued to move forward, and there was a long queue in front of a stall on the side of the road, which was very hot.

Qin Zixuan stopped curiously, and took a look at the booth. There were five large characters "Bombing Big Squid" written on the signboard.

"Is this delicious?"

Qin Zixuan turned to look at Hu Yan.

"It's quite delicious." Hu Yan nodded: "Want to try it?"

"Ah."

Qin Zixuan nodded. She was mainly curious about how delicious the snacks with so many people queuing up could be.

"Okay, then I'll buy two."

Hu Yan stood at the end of the team, and Qin Zixuan also stood next to him.

"Did you come here often when you were in school?"

Qin Zixuan asked curiously.

"I come here occasionally. I was poor when I was in school, and I couldn't afford anything when I came. Let's just say this big bombed squid. It costs 15 yuan a piece. If you are in the school cafeteria, you can have a full meal."

Hu Yan smiled.

"Oh."

Qin Zixuan nodded slightly. The life described in nonsense was beyond the imagination of a young lady like her. In fact, she had no idea about money since she was a child. To her, money was just a series of numbers.

After queuing for 10 minutes, Hu Yan and Qin Zixuan finally got two skewers of bombed squid. This thing is a whole squid wrapped in flour, bread crumbs and other things and then thrown into the frying pan. Of course, It should be another formula, so I don't know the nonsense.

"How is the taste??"

After Qin Zixuan took a bite, Hu Yan asked with a smile.

"Hmm, delicious..."

Qin Zixuan nodded with a smile on her face, and then eagerly took a bite. It seemed that the bombed squid was still to her liking.

"First time eating?"

Hu Yan asked again.

"Um……"

Qin Zixuan nodded vaguely while eating the squid.

What a miserable girl, it's the first time she eats bombed squid at such a big age...

Hu Yan smiled and shook his head, feeling silently in his heart, it seems that being born in a wealthy family is not necessarily good for everything, at least, they can't feel the fun of ordinary people.

The two walked forward while eating, and unknowingly walked to another area. The stalls on both sides changed from food stalls to one after another, selling everything.

Hu Yan's eyes swept around, and then stopped at a street stall selling sundries. This stall was not big and was a standard "street stall." The seller spread a torn sheet on the ground with many items on it. Small gadgets such as wooden bracelets and necklace pendants.

In addition to these things, there are also a lot of copper coins piled up in the corner. Most of those copper coins have rusted and are of poor quality. Due to the limited space in the booth, those copper coins were piled up into a small hill and thrown there. .

But it was these copper coins that attracted Hu Yan's attention. He walked over, squatted in front of the booth, and first pretended to look at those bracelets...

"Boy, these bracelets are handmade by my wife and I. The quality is much better than those mass-produced ones."

The stall owner is a 60-year-old old man with a red face and a good spirit.

"How much is this bracelet?" Hu Yan randomly picked up one of them and asked.

"35." The stall owner said.

"Oh……"

Hu Yan responded softly, and then put it back.

"If you are really interested, the price can be negotiated." The stall owner said proactively, fearing that he would let the customer go.

Hu Yan did not respond, but casually turned over the large push of rusty copper coins piled in the corner and asked, "Are these for sale too?"

"Yes."

The stall owner nodded: "Some time ago, the old house was renovated, and the copper coins dug out of the ground were all Qing Dynasty copper coins."

"How to sell?"

Hu Yan picked up one of them and asked while looking at it.

"It's 20 yuan each. If you want more, you can get it cheaper."

The stall owner thought for a while and replied that his large pile of copper coins must have hundreds of coins, and if it is sold at the price he said, it can be sold for almost 1 yuan.

"Are they all 20 yuan each?"

Hu Yan asked again.

"Yes, they're all the same price!"

The stall owner nodded. After digging out these copper coins, he asked someone who knew them to look at them. They were all from Xianfeng, Tongzhi, and Guangxu three years ago. Few of these copper coins are in good condition, and they are all rusted, so he only asked for 20 yuan each.

"Then I'll pick a few good ones..."

He said something nonsense, and then began to rummage through the pile of copper coins. After a while, he found five coins and shook them in the palm of his hand.

"Well, these are the ones."

As he spoke, Hu Yan took out a red ticket from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner.

"Okay, you take it."

The stall owner took the money and said with a smile while checking the authenticity of the red ticket.

"Uncle, take care of the money. If there's no problem, I'll leave." Hu Yan said.

"No problem, no problem..." The stall owner responded twice.

Hu Yan shrugged, stood up, took the copper coins and left.

"Those copper coins are very valuable?"

Leaving the booth, Qin Zixuan asked curiously. She had been silently observing Hu Yan just now, and found that when he was looking for copper coins, he didn't look at the quality at all, because the few copper coins he held in his hand were somewhat raw. Rust is bad.

"It's not bad, these five copper coins should be able to sell for [-] to [-]." Hu Yan smiled.

"what?"

"You bought it for 100 yuan, but it can sell for [-] to [-]?" Qin Zixuan was very surprised.

"Ah."

Hu Yan nodded, put one of the copper coins in the palm of his hand, and explained: "These five copper coins are all from the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom period. They are only late-stage holy treasures and are not as valuable as the early Tongbao. However, each one is about the same." Sell ​​it for five thousand."

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, as the most famous peasant uprising movement in history, lasted for 13 years. During this period, it also forged its own coins. The earliest one was Tianping Heavenly Kingdom Tongbao, but it was changed to Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Holy Treasure soon.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement was put down, these coins were naturally invalidated. A large part of them were taken back and smelted by the Qing government, and a considerable part was left among the people. However, compared with the copper coins of the Qing Dynasty emperors, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom coins were Coins that have been handed down are naturally very rare.

Therefore, the value is much higher than that of Qing Dynasty copper coins in other years. Depending on the texture and quality, the most expensive coins in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period can even sell for about [-].

However, the five pieces that Hu Yan held were in poor quality, and they were not the rarest ones, so the price of each piece should be around [-].

"It's actually a coin from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"

"let me see……"

Qin Zixuan looked curious. She had never seen what the coins of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom looked like.

"Here."

Hu Yan found one that was in relatively good condition and handed it to her.

Qin Zixuan took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. On the front of this copper coin were engraved the words "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" and on the back were the words "Sacred Treasure".

"It seems to be no different from the copper coins of other years in the Qing Dynasty." Qin Zixuan said lightly.

"There is no difference at all, and the quality is even worse. After all, the Taiping Army's money-making level is limited. Moreover, when making money at that time, in order to pursue quantity, there were elements of cutting corners..."

Hu Yan explained that after all, he was a history student, and he was very clear about the not-so-distant history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

A few years ago, a certain official station spent huge sums of money to shoot a TV series about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The plot in it crazily whitewashed the leaders of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom to set off the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government. Back then, nonsense was still young , I don't know much about this period of history, and I was really fooled by the screenwriter.

But after he carefully understood the history of that period, he realized that the failure of Hong Xiuquan and others was inevitable, and there were no good people among them!
