Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

After Wu Laowen made a phone call, inquired about the price, and compared the prices quoted by Ding Mao and others, he readily agreed to sell to them.

After confirming the authenticity, the delivery was successful, and he got on the bus again, immediately giving Ma Gen the benefit of the advance promise.

After receiving the benefits, Ma Gen became more attentive and started to look at the goods from house to house with Ding Xian and Ding Mao.

It's easy to do things if you have an acquaintance with you. You don't have to think about anything else and you can just follow him into the yard.

It’s definitely clear which store has what.

Moreover, with him by his side to help with the conversation, the transaction is much more enjoyable!

"Second uncle, take a look at your big money. These two friends of mine specialize in collecting these old things!"

"Where did those things come from in my house? Did you remember it wrong?"

The old man refused to admit it, but Ma Gen said firmly: "I don't want it for nothing. I bought it at a high price. Why are you hiding it? I don't know if you have it here. I used it to cook when I was a child." Shuttlecock, at least have a big dustpan!”

"You bastard, I have so little wealth, but I haven't even thought about my own son yet, so you have to worry about it. What's the high price? If you give it to me at the price of scrap metal, I won't sell it!"

Ma Gen really didn't know what price Ding Xian and the others would charge, so he looked at Ding Xian.

"The big brass ones are 5 cents each, and the bronze ones are 2 cents each. If calculated by kilogram, the brass ones are 65 per kilogram, and the bronze ones are 26 cents per kilogram. The bigger ones are extra. The more expensive ones may cost ten cents. What a buck!”

Ding Xian was afraid that the old man would not understand Qing money and Song money, so he divided them into bronze and brass!

"Did you see that copper only costs a few yuan per catty? They charge dozens per catty!"

When the old man thought about it, the ones he owned were all made of brass, so it was quite appropriate to sell them at this price!

"Well, the price is not bad. I can't carry it. Magen, go and carry it with me!"

Ma Gen agreed and followed.

With more than half a bag of money, even though Ma Gen was young and strong, he was still exhausted!

Ding Mao put his hand inside and stirred it twice before grabbing a handful. It was almost all money!

Naturally, there was a scale in their car, but for the sake of fairness, they took the old man's scale and weighed it again. They found that there was no difference in the weight between the two weighings, so the old man felt relieved and sold it to Ding Mao and the others!

With so much clear money, it stands to reason that there should not be any big money such as Xianfeng or spending money.

So Ding Mao asked a lot: "Grandpa, don't you have a lot of money? That one is much more expensive!"

The old man was very satisfied with the price of these large sums of money, so he did not hide it.

"Yes! There are a few in the cabinet!"

"Grandpa, if you don't mind the trouble, you can find them. The cheaper ones are only ten or twenty yuan, and the more expensive ones are fifty or one hundred yuan, too!"

The old man thought for a while and then said: "Then you wait for a while and I will go look for it!"

After a while, the old man came over with a large, exquisite red box in his hands.

Put it on the kang, then open the lid of the box, and it's really full of big money.

However, when he saw the holding box, Ding Mao's attention was not actually on the coins, but entirely on the holding box.

This is a carved red box in the shape of a four-curved crabapple. It is dignified and plump in shape, with a flat top and curved walls, matching lips and round feet. The inside and bottom of the box are painted black.

The outer wall is decorated with red craftsmanship, and the roof is illuminated according to the shape. The interior is divided into three types of brocade patterns: sky, earth, and water, to indicate different spaces near and far.

On the brocade ground, there are carved mountain stone courtyards and figures of Taoist scholars. Under the strange rocks and old pines, the Taoist priests sit in the pavilion and watch the geese playing in the lake. The continuous mountains and the auspicious clouds are gradually advancing layer by layer, creating a profound artistic conception.

The lips and foot walls are decorated with fretwork, the outer wall is illuminated on all sides, the inner brocade ground is carved with branch flowers, and the outer turtle back brocade ground is decorated with eight treasure patterns.

The overall paint color is red, rich and elegant, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the knife skills are smooth, and the composition is full. The diameter is 40cm, making it a rare instrument.

里面装大钱27个，各个品相俱佳，其中当五十7个、当百6个、花钱10个、嘉庆道光天下太平宫钱每样各一个、当五百2个。

Ding Mao didn't wait for Ding Xian to speak and was the first to quote the price.

“老爷爷，这种的20一个是200块钱，这种的30一个是210块钱，这种的50一个是300块钱，这种的100一个是200块钱，这个200一个是400块钱。总共是1310块钱！”

Seeing that the elderly have no objections, it shows that every elderly person can agree with it.

So Ding Mao then said: "Let's do this, I will give you 1350 yuan, and you can give me this box too!"

Ding Mao deliberately kept the price at a fraction of the price, just to round up the price with this box.

"Then just give me 1400 yuan for the quilt and sell them to you, and we will have 35 people alive!"

Hearing this, Ding Mao grinned and said, "Okay, you have already spoken, so I must give you this face!"

So, I ordered the money and successfully delivered it.

Not to mention how satisfied Ding Mao was, this box was large in size and exquisite in craftsmanship. He even suspected that it came from the lacquerware workshop of the Palace Manufacturing Office.

"How much does your Yin Dayang charge?"

Just when Ding Mao and the others were about to get up and leave, the old man asked again in a leisurely manner.

Ding Mao and the others were stunned, why didn't the old man take it out all at once?

But then he figured it out. It was probably that the old man was afraid that he would not be able to settle the accounts and was fooled in the end!

"50 yuan for the Yin Dayang figure, 80 yuan for the dragon!"

This time it was Ding Xian who spoke, while Ding Mao had no intention of participating after receiving the gift box, unless there was something his father couldn't understand!

"Then just wait a moment and I'll get it for you!"

The old man said and stood up.

Magen looked at the slow-moving old man and said helplessly: "Second uncle, let's just take them all at once. It will be troublesome to go back and forth like this!"

The old man laughed and scolded: "You bastard, you are already my age, how can you settle the account if you take it all out?"

"What are you afraid of when I'm here?"

"It's just because you're here that I'm scared. I'm afraid you, a bastard, will give me a few bucks!"

Although he knew that the old man's words were just a joke, Ma Gen really didn't say anything more!

The old man came back again, and in addition to silver dollars, there was also a mud cricket jar!

Chengni is a special kind of clay, which is mostly used for processing and firing Chengni inkstones among the four famous inkstones.

Because it uses fine washed mud as raw material, the texture of the mud is as fine as baby skin, and it has the characteristics of water storage that will not dry up and will not freeze even in the cold.

Seeing Ding Mao secretly nodding, Ding Xian knew that these things could be accepted, and the price of silver coins had been negotiated before, and the old man didn't have much in hand, so it didn't take long before the transaction was completed again.

After confirming that the old man had no other goods to sell, they walked out and continued to the next store.
