Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

Through a simple neighborhood dinner, everyone in the Cui family had a very good impression of Ding Mao, especially Grandpa Cui and Cui Hao and his son, who looked at Ding Mao in a new light.

On this day, Ding Mao once again loaded the goods wholesaled in advance, but this time he added the steel-framed round stools that are popular in rural areas.

This method of exchanging goods is still more attractive.

Ding Mao transcribed the speaker recording again.

"Due to the closure of the manufacturer and clearing out inventory, brand new round stools, stainless steel basins, porcelain plates, and porcelain bowls have been replaced with old tables, chairs, benches, tea jars, dusters, big money medals and other old items!"

As soon as Ding Mao entered the village, he turned on the loudspeaker. After only a few steps, he was stopped by two women from the village head chatting at the door.

"Young man, what do you want to change for all the stuff you're pulling?"

Ding Mao had a signature smile on his face: "Auntie, I can change anything, as long as it is an old thing that I have used or left behind in my past life! I can exchange it for tea jars, dusters, big money ink cartridges, badges, commemorative medals, etc. The old cigarette pouch is old and the mirror is old, and the old plates and bowls can be replaced.”

"My grandfather left an old cigarette pouch at home, and no one uses it. What can I exchange for it?"

"It depends on what Auntie wants to change. You can take it over and see Auntie first."

"Okay, then you wait, I'll go back to the house and get it."

Ding Mao was at the door of the woman's house at this time, so he took out the things quickly.

The cigarette pot is a standard five-color copper inlaid pot. The craftsmanship is quite exquisite. The eight carved lotus flowers wrap the pot, which means that the Eight Immortals offer longevity or bring fortune from all directions. A chubby golden fish at the crook of the neck means that there will be more than one year after another. The upper side shows two magpies announcing good news, and the other side shows flowers blooming and bringing wealth.The rich inlay craftsmanship makes the smoke pot look beautiful and precious, which is very rare.

The cigarette rod is an ordinary old-fashioned one, and it has been coiled in black. It looks like it has been groped for a few years. The cigarette bag hanging on it is made of lambskin, and comes with a silver-banded cigarette pot hook and cigarette. Keboer, the cigarette holder is an agate cigarette holder that is more than ten centimeters long and as thick as a thumb.

"Do you think this tobacco pouch can be replaced with a few stools?"

Ding Mao deliberately pretended to be embarrassed: "Auntie, you are so cruel, you want a few stools from me as soon as you open your mouth!"

The woman didn't take it seriously: "This cigarette holder is made of jade, and it's not worth much. You won't lose anything if I give you a few stools!"

Ding Mao grinned: "I actually don't understand this thing, but I'll take it back to my grandpa for use. He should like it. Then, aunt, you can pick four stools by yourself!"

"Four is too few, so I have to replace it with six. If my family didn't smoke, I wouldn't be willing to replace this thing!"

The woman hurriedly bargained.

"The key is that this thing is just for smoking, and there is no practical stool!"

Ding Mao looked hesitant.

When receiving and exchanging goods, sometimes you have to be quick-sighted and sometimes you have to pull each other. If you don't do it quickly, people may not sell it after they react. If you do it too quickly, people may think that your things may be more valuable. It is also easy to regret, so everything must be done according to the situation and in good control.

"Let's do this. You give me four stools and two steel basins. Young man, my aunt wants more from you for nothing. I'll give you all my little money."

These big coins are indeed not very good. The best ones are two Xianfeng coins among them.

"Okay, aunt, you can choose it yourself."

Ding Mao looked reluctant, but in his heart he was already happy.

After the woman picked out the things with satisfaction, she said to the woman who was with her before: "By the way Hongxia, when you built a new house before you got married, there seemed to be a pair of dust bottles. My sister-in-law was afraid that you wouldn't like it, so she threw them away. It's a pity that it's just left in the side room. It's just sitting there gathering dust anyway, so why not exchange it with the young man for something practical?"

The woman named Hongxia was very young, about 25 or [-] years old. She must have just been married, so she was obviously a little confused after hearing the woman's words.

So he said uncertainly: "Third aunt, are you sure there is one in my house? Why don't I seem to have seen it before?"

"Ah! How long have you been married? What's more, Dahua loves you so much. He doesn't want to let you do any work. I guess you haven't even entered the rag-filled wing. How can you see that? thing!"

Hongxia was obviously a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she still said, "Then I'll go back and ask my mother-in-law!"

"Go home and ask your sister-in-law, there must be one!"

Ding Mao also quickly echoed and said: "Yes, sister, go back and look for it. Auntie actually said that, she must have seen it before. I am going to pay you anyway. I can give you something in exchange."

"Well, then I'll go back and ask!"

Hongxia nodded in agreement, then turned and walked towards home.

The woman looked at Hongxia's leaving figure and pursed her lips. After confirming that she couldn't hear, she said in a sour tone: "I want a new house and jewelry. I spent a lot of money to marry a painter." , it’s strange that Dahua can support him with his little ability, but if he is still so used to it, he won’t be able to find a way out even if he wants to cry in the future!”

Ding Mao didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "No, I think the eldest sister just now is a very responsible person!"

"Who doesn't know how to put on airs? Dahua is not at home working part-time, and she is still dressed up in such a gorgeous way. Who do you want to show her to!"

The countryside is so close to you in person, and it is possible for them to tell you things behind your back, and they can tell you what you want even if they don't have it. It's really scary.

Ding Maozheng didn't know how to answer, so the man named Hongxia walked over with a smile on his face.

"The third aunt is really talking about it. My mother-in-law said that there is a pair of bottle dusters at home."

When the woman saw Hongxia coming over, she immediately changed her face: "See if it's there? Third Aunt will definitely not remember it wrong."

When Ding Mao saw that Hongxia had not taken out the bottle, he was unsure whether it could be exchanged or sold.

But before he could ask, the woman's next words completely reassured him.

"Little brother, can you please go and take a look for yourself? My husband and father-in-law are not at home, and the bottle is placed a little high, so my mother-in-law and I can't take it off."

Ding Maoru heard the sound of nature and immediately agreed: "No problem!"

Most of the side rooms built in rural areas are used to store some sundries or food.The wing room that Ding Mao came to was just like this. There was very little room for feet, and besides the pair of bottle dusters that excited Ding Mao at a glance, there were also a pair of empty boxes.

As the name suggests, the fake box is a box where hats were stored in the past. They are mostly made of wood and painted with patterns. They belong to the folk category and are still not very valuable even after many years in the previous life.

"Sister, these two fake boxes can also be exchanged for things."

"Okay, then take it out together!"

After moving the dust bottle and the box to the yard, Ding Mao took a rag from the car and simply wiped the dust on it to see if there were any residue.

When Ding Mao moved the boxes out, he felt that the weight of one of them was different and there was a slight sound.So he didn't open it to check, but the third aunt opened it.

"Ah! There's a lot of money in here!"

Ding Mao cursed secretly in his heart, but pretended to be surprised on the surface: "Ah! It's true, these are enough for eldest sister to exchange for a lot of things!"

However, at this time Hongxia's mother-in-law came out of the house and said: "My sister-in-law also has a pair of dusting bottles at home. She sold them to those who went to the countryside to collect the goods some time ago for 200 yuan! Young man, if you want it, you can I’ll give you 200, and the other ones for changing stools and basins are fine.”

Ding Mao couldn't help feeling a toothache when he heard this. It wasn't that he couldn't accept the price, but that he could accept it, but he was afraid that if he agreed too happily, people would think he had lost money and regretted it. If he didn't agree, he would definitely not be able to exchange the item.

So he pretended to hesitate and said: "Auntie, I was actually helping my uncle to exchange goods. I don't understand these things. Auntie said that someone spent 200 to buy them, but they just don't know the difference from yours. So I don't know. I believe Auntie, just 200 for 200, but if you risk a box and a lot of money in exchange for something, can you choose less, so that I can take less risk."

"Auntie, I really didn't lie to you. Someone really bought it for 200."

"I know, auntie can't lie to me, but if I want to sell it to them, it's only 200! I'm a small business owner who doesn't make much money, and I can't build too much. Do you think it's a big deal to give me a fake box? Can you give in a little?"

The woman hesitated, and Hongxia quickly said: "Mom, if you pay 200 to buy those two bottles, we can pay less for the wooden box and the big money, otherwise it will just be thrown away."

At this time, the third aunt finally said something that made Ding Mao extremely grateful.

"That's right, sister-in-law, Hongxia is right. If you want that old piece of wood and broken iron, how much less can you get if you give me less? If you don't sell it today, it won't be worth it if it's smashed to pieces tomorrow."

With the help of their own people, the effect is different. The woman no longer hesitated and asked Ding Mao: "What can you give me in exchange for these things?"

Ding Mao pretended to think for a moment and said: "After all, your family has a lot of money, and the forged boxes are quite nice. How about I give you four stools?"

"Ouch! What a waste of my sister-in-law. I spent a lot of money to make shuttlecocks for those little brats and threw them away. Who would use the fake box now? It's worth replacing!"

The third aunt helped again in a timely manner.

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

Ding Mao happily paid for it, and his vest was even more excited: "I finally got this pair of [-] pea green, high and white character bottles!"

Porcelain with bean green and white was first created in the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty. The white on the color ground not only expresses the pattern, but also has a very good three-dimensional effect visually.

Due to its complicated production process, high material cost, and challenges to craftsmen's skills, the yield is also lower than other types of porcelain. Therefore, its popularity and collection value have always been far higher than other types of porcelain at the same time.

This kind of dowry vase was popular during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and was fired until the Republic of China. Its age is generally determined by its shape, base, theme, blue and white hair color, and glaze color.

At noon, Ding Mao just bought a piece of bread at the village store, took a bite of it, and exchanged it for more than 2000 plum blossoms and five cents from the store owner.

Very early in the afternoon, Ding Mao changed all the things he brought, pulled a cart of harvest, and returned home humming a little tune.

However, as soon as the motorcycle entered the alley of Ding Mao's house, he met Cui Miao and the female eldest sister who wanted to rob him that day.
