Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

In the memory of his last life, he had collected all the good goods that appeared twice in the county town. There were also four good goods that appeared in the county. One was the silver dollar that appeared in the church, but he would have to wait two years later!

But he didn't consider the other three at all, because they handed them over as soon as they came out.

Of these four shipments, three were large amounts of silver coins, and one was a piece of exquisite porcelain from the Song and Yuan dynasties. Perhaps that piece of porcelain could still be won, but Ding Mao did not force it.

Compared with counties, those provinces where the older generation has a deeper cultural heritage will definitely have more good things. After all, it has always been positioned as mainly objects from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

As for those things involving red lines, you have to look at the path. If the path is upright and he is destined, he cannot turn a blind eye, but if the source is questionable, he will definitely not touch it.

When making antiques, it is better to take it slow and steady. After all, these things that ordinary people have seen are enough for him to collect. As the saying goes, don't chase the high, or you will get stabbed!

How many people have made a lifetime of money making antiques, but ended up in the hands of something. How many people worked hard and ended up working for others. How many people once had great prosperity, but ended up holding a job in prison.

Therefore, the first factor in making antiques is stability. Even if there is a huge leak, you have to be steady, one step at a time.

After this period of preparation, Ding Mao can set off immediately. He will try his best to complete this trip before the autumn harvest!

He has already planned the route. This time he will go through Hebei Province to Jin Province. He will pick up the goods in any village he passes. If time permits, he will pass through Lu Province and Jin Province again.

After preparing enough cash, thick mats and quilts were laid on the carriage, the prepared boxes and cigarette boxes were packed, and a large piece of rainproof cloth, foam board, etc. were thrown in. After finding that nothing was missing, Ding Mao went with his father Let’s set off together!

Before setting off, Ding Mao specially called his fourth aunt to accompany his mother. After all, this trip might not be too short.

"Collect old plates, old bowls, old porcelain vases, porcelain jars, collect old tables, chairs, benches, and old furniture, collect large amounts of money, silver dollars, commemorative medals, old banknotes, statues of great men, collect old tobacco pouches, old ink cartridges, old jade pieces, old door curtains, and old Buddha statues Waiting for all the old stuff!”

This is a village in Linxian County. When he arrived here, Ding Mao remembered that due to the relocation in his previous life, a Daoguang mother's coin and more than 300 silver coins appeared here.

I heard that there was one at that time, and Ding Mao even inquired about the location and made a trip there, but all the good things had been taken away, so he just took some rags back.

"Will you accept the big bottle with the painting on it?"

"Take it, sis!"

"How much?"

"Then you have to look at the thing. If you don't look at the thing, you can't give a price!"

Ding Xian was driving, so it was Ding Mao who always answered!

"Then stop the car and come in and take a look!"

Hearing this, he quickly pulled over and parked the car, and the father and son followed him into the yard.

This is a pair of 300 large vases with brushwork. The painting is of a cat catching butterflies in the flowers. According to its homonym, it is also called the age of the old man. The porcelain is generally well preserved, with only one fried bottom, and the rest are complete.

The brush painting technique was relatively popular at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. It was based on mature hand-painted colored porcelain, plus brush painting technology. It was a very important variety in the pastel porcelain of the Republic of China. It has a delicate effect that cannot be achieved by hand painting.

There were three stages of flower-painted porcelain painting in the Republic of China. The first stage was the maturity and emergence from the late 10s to the early 30s; the second stage was the changes in characters around the mid-30s; and the third stage was from the late 30s to before the founding of the People's Republic of China. decay.

Because from the beginning, well-known porcelain painting artists and porcelain companies were involved in flower-painted porcelain paintings, which made the flower-painted porcelain paintings of the Republic of China of excellent quality appear on the market.

In particular, the painted porcelain made by famous artists such as Ma Qingyun, Xia Dingchen, Wang Longtai, Wang Rongfa, Zhu Maochun, Wu Yongmao, Liu Bingxing, etc. is a hot commodity in the market, and Cheng Dayou's boneless painted figure porcelain is almost hard to find. .

The pair of large vases that Ding Mao and the others encountered were painted by Xia Dingchen.

As long as you meet someone who takes the initiative and happily shows you the goods when you go to the countryside, the probability of negotiating a deal is generally very high. There is basically no time to sell short. On the contrary, those who keep asking for prices are basically difficult to negotiate.

After putting the porcelain into his own special packaging box, Ding Mao felt indescribably comfortable. This was a good start.

The car continued to drive slowly on the country road, the speed was not much different from that of a person walking, and the horn sounded again.

"Stop receiving the goods!"

The car stopped after hearing the sound, and Ding Mao stuck his head out of the window and asked, "Do you have any old things at home that you want to sell?"

"Do you want a stone ax?"

If it was a jade item, Ding Mao would really hesitate. After all, the big case many years later involved a large number of people, and he didn't want to make himself uncomfortable after finally being reborn.

But the stone tools can be collected, so he said: "I can collect them!"

"You guys come in and sit for a while, and I'll look for it for you. I picked it up on the mountain a few years ago. I can't even remember where I put it!"

After entering the house, Ding Mao glanced at the curtain hanging on the back door. It was beautifully embroidered, with old glass beads and silver ornaments sewn on the curtain straps.

"Uncle, we can also have this curtain!"

"Do you still want this thing?"

"Well, we accept all old things, including money, silver coins, spring stools, old jars, old dust bottles, old cigarette pouches, ink cartridges, medals, everything!"

"Okay, I'll pick them off for you later. The jars and bottles have been smashed even if they are not good things. The big money has been taken away from the neighbors over the years, and only the two hanging on the beams are enough. I have enough If you don’t come down, you can wait and get it yourself!”

"Okay, uncle, you can find any old items you have. If you can't get them, I'll get them for you!"

When Ding Mao took off the money from the beam, he felt quite satisfied. Although the other coins were ordinary, one of them was Taihe!

It was a happy transaction again. The uncle was quite satisfied with the price, and of course Ding Mao was equally satisfied.

"If you want to make a lot of money, there are quite a few at Mrs. Zhang's house in the west end of the village. I heard that there are some at Yin Dayang's house in Qianyingzi, Mrs. Wu's house!"

"Thank you so much, sir, we'll check it out later!"

Before leaving, the old man kindly provided Ding Mao with very important information!

Although Ding Mao didn't know whether the Daoguang mother's money came from the family mentioned by the uncle, but since he knew that this family had the goods, he naturally couldn't let it go.

When passing by the door of this house, he asked his father to stop the car for a while. Seeing that no one came out to talk to him, Ding Mao got out of the car and came to the door of the house with an empty kettle.

"Is anyone home?"

Ding Mao shouted into the yard, and after three minutes, an old lady came out of the house.

"Hello, ma'am, can I excuse myself to drink some water at your house?"

Ding Mao shook the kettle in his hand and showed a kind smile, acting very well-behaved. With his sunny face, he looked very reassured.

"My legs and feet are not good, you can go up to the house and fix it yourself!"

Hearing this, Ding Mao hurriedly walked towards the yard: "Thank you so much, ma'am. It's too hot today. I've already finished the water I filled in the morning. I'm really thirsty!"

"It's okay, just pretend!"

Ding Mao took a little first, but his parents were very thirsty and drank a few sips before continuing.

"This water is so refreshing, it quenches my thirst. Thank you, ma'am!"

The aunt looked at Ding Mao kindly and asked, "I heard the loudspeaker outside shouting loudly, where are you from and what are you doing?"

It turns out that this lady didn’t hear clearly the content of the loudspeaker!Ding Mao couldn't help but sigh secretly!

But now that the aunt has asked, it’s easy to handle!

"We are from Linxian County next door, and we come here to collect big money, silver coins and other old items!"

"Oh, I thought he was a vegetable seller!"

The house in my eldest wife's house is indeed very well sealed. Even if Ding Mao has the door half open, he has to listen carefully to hear it clearly!

"Auntie, at your age, you should be able to save some big money or something?"

"I saved a little bit, but that thing isn't worth much, so it's of no use!"

Ding Mao smiled faintly: "No, aunt, it's just a bit more expensive. These things are from different years, different sizes, and have different prices!"

"Really? Then wait and see how much these are worth, aunt."

After finally letting him see it, Ding Mao couldn't help but feel happy: "Okay, ma'am, you can bring it to me first. I'll definitely give you a good price if it's suitable!"

Before the aunt could say whether she wanted to sell it or not, Ding Mao started talking here!

A small bunch of large coins, only about a hundred or so. Ding Mao looked at it carefully, and sure enough, the Daoguang mother's money was right here!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ding Mao continued to look and said: "Let me tell you, it's worthless anywhere. This one is only worth 10 yuan. It's really cheaper like this, only one yuan." , this also costs five yuan!”

"Really? I think this thing is only worth [-] cents! Don't you accept all of this? I will sell it to you!"

"Yeah, I'll accept it all. Auntie and I are really destined to be together. I can accept something from your excuse!"

After Ding Mao settled the account and paid the money, he waved goodbye to his aunt and prepared to go to the village the uncle mentioned.

No accident happened. Not only did he successfully capture more than 300 silver dollars, but he also collected a lot of other things.

Among them, Ding Mao is more satisfied with a pair of blue and white landscape bottles. Although one of the bottles has an ear missing, which affects the price a lot, it does not affect the aesthetics after repairing it.
