Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

Time flies so fast, it’s already passed the New Year’s Day of 2004, and there are only less than 20 days left before the New Year!

Both Ding Hong and Meng Qingchan have obtained their driver's licenses, so they can reap the benefits separately.

Now, apart from Ding Mao, the one with the most experience in going to the countryside and the best eyesight must be Ding Xian, so the father and son each took one of them and took different routes to start going to the countryside!

The truck was driven away by his father, and Ding Mao and the others were driving a Santana, so they couldn't exchange the old items for them and could only buy them in cash!

Ding Mao plans to rest after the New Year, and may not prepare to go to the countryside again until the first lunar month, so he still needs to run more during this time before the new year!

Recycle all kinds of old items at high prices: tea jars, dust bottles, old porcelain, tables, chairs, benches, old furniture, silver dollars, big coins, old banknotes, badges, cigarette pouches, and all kinds of jade!

In rural areas at this time, some people will gather in shops to play poker, mahjong, etc., and some people will gather at a sunny wall to bask in the sun and chat!

At this time, in the village where Ding Mao and the others came, the wall where people gathered was also the entrance to the shop.

The houses and streets in this village are all in order, without any randomness and clutter, so the shop entrances are also very spacious.

Ding Mao took out the advertising cloth and spread it in a crowded place, and deliberately turned down the loudspeaker volume so as not to hear the conversation.

He is already tall, and he deliberately dresses himself to look more mature. Although he is still childish upon closer inspection, he is somewhat convincing!

"What is this for?"

"We accept everything, big money, silver coins, old plates, old bowls, old tea jars and dusters, old cigarette pouches, etc. As long as they are old items, we accept them!"

As soon as the advertisement was spread out, a crowd of people immediately gathered around it!

Everyone looked at the various patterns on the advertising cloth to see if they had similar ones at home!

"The one in the painting is called a hat tube, right?"

"Yes, it's a hat tube. Does the eldest brother have it at home?"

"I have a pair at home, but one of them is cracked. Do you still want it?"

Ding Mao quickly put on a smile and replied: "Although it's a pity, it's still possible!"

"Then how much can you give?"

"Brother, bring it here. Let's take a look at the item first and then give a price! If you quote a price without looking at the item, isn't that just kidding? Don't you think so?"

"Okay, then I'll bring it over for you to take a look at!"

With that said, the man squeezed out of the crowd and went back to get his things!

"How did you collect this?"

An older woman asked, pointing to the lathe on the pattern.

"This one costs 5 yuan, and the new one costs 10 yuan!"

Don't hesitate to make an offer in the countryside. No matter whether the offer is high or low, try to be as happy as possible.

The woman nodded, pointed to the five-yuan steelmaking pattern, and asked, "What about this one?"

"This old ticket can only add one or two yuan, but if it's a new one, it's also 10 yuan!"

The woman nodded again when she heard this.

Since you asked, you probably have such banknotes at home. Seeing that the woman didn't speak again, Ding Mao wanted to speak, but as soon as he reached his mouth, he was interrupted by another onlooker!

"Sister-in-law, do you still have this kind of old money in your family?"

"Well, there are a few of each, not too many!"

"Then I'll sell it to them. They said I couldn't spend it for the first two years, so I'll exchange it for just two yuan for two yuan. They'll have to pay extra for it!"

A man next to him immediately gave him a divine assist.

"My legs hurt in the winter. I can't afford to walk such a long way back and forth for such a small amount of money!"

Only then did Ding Mao realize that the woman didn't want to sell, but it was because of her personal health that she didn't want to walk a long way. That would be much easier!

"It's okay, auntie, we have a car here, you can just ask her to take you back to get it!"

The woman was obviously a little excited, but she still asked a little timidly: "Is this convenient? The soles of our rural people's shoes are full of mud, and your car will be soiled!"

"It's okay, auntie, it's not a good car either!"

With that said, Ding Mao looked directly at Meng Qingchan and said, "Qingchan, drive my aunt back!"

"Ok!"

Meng Qingchan quickly nodded in agreement, then smiled and said to the woman: "Auntie, let's get in the car, and I'll take you back to get it!"

"Okay, if you don't sell anything for a few bucks and still ride in a sedan chair, then I'll trouble you!"

"It's not too much trouble, auntie, get in the car! We'll be there right now!"

As soon as Meng Qingchan and the others left, the man who went home to get the hat tube came back!

"Look, how much can you give just these two?"

"Brother, please put it on top and I'll take a good look at it. We can discuss adding more money!"

Ding Mao would not pick it up directly, and his hands were not steady in the cold weather. If someone passed the car and got hit, who would it be?

This is a pair of hat tubes with the theme of Taishi Shaobao during the Republic of China. They open the door from east to west at a glance.

The red and green lion painting is more vivid, signed Li Pinheng, and has a red seal on the bottom.

Although one of them is still alive, fortunately the lines are not on the picture!

"Brother, this line is indeed a bit long. I can only give you 20 yuan. The complete one is 50 yuan, and the two together are 70 yuan!"

"It's too little, it's less than 100 yuan!"

"Brother, if this one is not disabled, I can definitely give it to you. This one is already damaged like this, so it's a lot to give. If you find someone to fix it, you'll have to spend some money!"

The man thought about it and was still a little unwilling, so he still wanted to fight for it!

"Give me 100, I'll sell it to you for 100 yuan!"

"Brother, there are still fees for this curium, I really can't give you that much!"

As long as there are people watching, it is inevitable that someone will help!

"You can make money by collecting this. It's not easy for us old farmers to leave something behind. You can add more to the old kite!"

Rural people love nicknames for each other. Peers rarely call each other by their first names, and most of them call them by their nicknames.

"Brother, I'm sorry, this is my first sale in your village, and I want to make it happen, so the price is very high!"

"Then you can't just say that one price is the same price, and then add 10 yuan or 80 yuan. The number is auspicious. If you give it, he will give it too!"

After saying that, the man asked again: "Old kite, can I sell it to him for 80 yuan?"

"Okay, sell him if he pays 80 yuan!"

Ding Mao really didn't want to pay ten or eight yuan for another ink, so he was embarrassed because he was doing it for others to see.

Once you close an order, the next transaction will be better!

"Okay, this big brother has already spoken, so I have to give him some face. Just 80 yuan for 80 yuan!"

As he spoke, Ding Mao took out the change and handed it to the man.

Many people have the mentality of letting others wade through the water first, and then cross the river themselves.

Therefore, when the first sale was completed, someone else quickly became interested!

When Meng Qingchan came back, Ding Mao had already collected several items!

The woman did not come back with her, and Meng Qingchan completed the transaction with her at her home!

Ding Mao discovered that Meng Qingchan not only took back the banknotes, but also a few Great Wall coins and nickels!

They laid it out for a while, and also collected some scattered things. Seeing that there were fewer people watching, no one took anything out anymore.

They were going to circle around the street before leaving. After all, the sound of the horn was limited, and people living on the other two streets would definitely not be able to hear the things being collected here!

But just as they were packing up the stalls and preparing to get in the car, a man walked out of the store and greeted them!

"That old two-yuan guy, do you charge 10 yuan a piece?"

It is estimated that someone passed the price of the goods they received to the person in the store, so the man asked directly!

"The new one is 10 yuan, the old one is 5 yuan!"

Ding Mao quickly answered with a smile!

"It must be new, Cheng Zhaer hasn't opened it yet!"

"If this were the case, it would cost 10 yuan a piece, or 1000 yuan a bundle!"

"Okay, is it convenient for you? If it's convenient for you, come home with me and have a look. I've got two pieces!"

Hearing this, Ding Mao immediately became energetic and quickly replied: "It's convenient, then you can lead the way and we'll go there right now!"

The man was about 60 to [-] years old, and his home was not far from the store.

After arriving at his house, the man invited Ding Mao and the others to sit wherever they wanted, then opened the closet and took out a bundle made of blankets from the bottom!

Ding Mao glanced at one corner and felt something was not good, because that corner seemed to have been eaten by a mouse!

Sure enough, when the man opened the bag and took out the clothes one by one, suddenly a crash of paper scraps was brought up!

Ding Mao stepped forward distressedly and saw that there were only half of the two lathes left, not a complete one!

The man was stunned when he saw this scene, and it took him a while to recover.

He asked with a trembling voice: "Can you still accept this!"

Ding Mao shook his head helplessly and sadly, and said: "There is no way to stop this, even if you try hard, you can't win!"

The man's face immediately turned ferocious, and he said through gritted teeth: "These damn rats, I'll kill them all if I give them some medicine tomorrow. I saved all this money by selling potatoes a long time ago, and the 2000 yuan is just gone!"

Although the face value is only 400 yuan, the purchase price given by Ding Mao is indeed 2000 yuan!

"Uncle, don't get excited. Think again, do you have anything else at home? If you can sell it, don't keep these things and let them go to waste!"

The man shook his head in defeat!

Ding Mao had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye since he had nothing to collect!
