Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

The school sports meeting was over and the National Day holiday was ushering in. The autumn harvest had already begun in the countryside. It was difficult to receive anything when going to the countryside. Therefore, Ding Mao, who had nothing to do, spent the large sum of money at home. with silver dollars.

Cui Hao is also working on engineering matters, so the original plan to travel on November [-]st has been temporarily shelved!

So Cui Miao came over to help Ding Mao pick coins, but not to mention, Cui Miao was indeed Ding Mao's lucky star. It had been a long time since he had picked out a lot of good-quality Song coins, but as soon as Cui Miao came, he I started to get lucky, and several relatively rare and prestigious items were released in succession.

"Look at this, why is the square hole in the middle bigger than the others?"

Ding Mao quickly took it and used a brush to simply clean away the dirt and rust, revealing the font of the coin.

This is actually a widely-pierced iron mother from Tongbao of Song and Yuan Dynasties, which belongs to the fourth-level coin of Song Dynasty.

Excited, Ding Mao stood up and wanted to kiss Cui Miao, only to realize that she was actually wearing a mask.

Originally, in order to avoid damaging Cui Miao's skin, Ding Mao specially found a pair of rubber gloves for protection. However, Cui Miao said that she was afraid that Ding Mao would secretly kiss her when she was excited, so she found a mask and put it on!

Don't tell her, she really guessed that if she didn't wear a mask, she would definitely kiss him this time.

Seeing the excited and deflated Ding Mao, Cui Miao victoriously clenched her gloved fist and waved at Ding Mao!

"Tch, I wanted to reward you, but you don't know what to do!"

Cui Miao first raised her head pretending to be disdainful, then pointed outside and said softly: "If I am caught by aunt, how can I have the nerve to come here in the future!"

"I see that my mother likes you so much. She probably wishes we could be together!"

As he said that, Ding Mao took advantage of his unpreparedness and pecked him on the face.

"You are really my little lucky star. This is a widely penetrated iron mother coin, which is the mother coin used to cast iron coins. It is very rare!"

As he spoke, Ding Mao explained to him some methods of identifying mother money and iron mother. Although Cui Miao didn't understand what he heard, he also got the general idea and knew what kind of things he needed to pay attention to.

The two were joking and joking, and the originally boring work became more interesting.

"Hey, this is the little Chongning you were talking about!"

Ding Mao came over and saw that it was Xiaoping Xuanbei from Chongning Tongbao.

With Cui Miao's blessing, there are really no shortage of good coins to pick out. Although the current price is not high, they will all rise sharply in a few years.

During this period, Ding Mao's mother often came over to give her some fruits and so on. Seeing how Cui Miao was helping seriously, the more she watched, the more she liked it.

In this way, because of Cui Miao's help, the work efficiency was also very high. In the past two days, many more were picked. Nearly half of the more than 1000 kilograms of Song Qian had been picked.

Today, he had a phone call with his father early in the morning. He knew that he would be home today, so he did not pick any more coins. Instead, he packed the coins he had picked out before into a booklet with staple clips and labels. Cui Miao was also helping.

While the two were having fun, their father's car was parked outside the door. Through the window, he could see the old furniture filling the car.

For this batch of goods, Ding Mao had already cleared out the living room, including the elm Arhat bed he first made. After arranging these, he would study its location.

"Dad, thank you for your hard work. Third uncle, thank you for your hard work. How was it? Did the trip go well?"

"It went well. Your Uncle Yaozu has already found a matchmaker to introduce a partner. He may move to their county in the future. Therefore, except for the things in your Grandpa Zhai's house, the entire courtyard has not been touched. We have basically cleared the rest of the houses. , all those who can do it are pretending to be back!"

Ding Xian said as he opened the carriage panel.

Hearing this, Ding Mao was very excited. The other houses were locked the last time they went there, and the car couldn't really fit in. This was the first time he was worried that people would be too defensive, so he didn't force himself too much.

But he was always thinking about it, and he always felt that there were good things in that yard. As the saying goes, once comes a new life, come twice a year, his father and the others went there again, and the effect was indeed very good!

After all, this was the first time before leaving. Chen Yaozu took the initiative to invite them, telling them to come over and take away all the remaining things if they had time!

"Did you find any good things you missed?"

"Don't tell me, I really made you guess. It's true. Do you want to watch it now or wait until you finish unloading everything in the car?"

Ding Mao couldn't wait in a hurry and said quickly: "There is no need to unload the furniture in a hurry, let's take a look now!"

"Okay, let's go inside first and have a look. I'm sure you like it!"

Before leaving, in order to prevent fragile items, I specially brought a few packaging boxes. At this time, Ding Xian and Ding Hong were holding a few packaging boxes.

Ding Mao thought that most of the packaging boxes contained small pieces of porcelain that had not been broken, so he did not look at these first, but first focused on a lacquer box.

He took it over, opened it, and found a string of 108 beads inside. The main material was agarwood, and the navel, shoulders, head, clouds on the back, and corners were all jade.

The overall design is simple and elegant. The agarwood is a plain round bead, the color is yellow with a hint of brown, it is elegant and pure, the pulp is shiny and moist, and it still has a pleasant fragrance.

Seeing that Ding Mao couldn't put it down, Ding Xian said with a smile: "There is also a smaller bead. I heard from brother Yaozu that his grandmother believed in Buddhism and had a special Buddhist hall at home! And he had his leg broken that year. Because of a string of beads!”

As he spoke, Ding Xian took out a bunch of eighteen seeds, also made of agarwood, and handed them to Ding Mao.

"Yaozu said that the string that was taken away is about the same size as this one, but the material is different. It seems to be made of white jade, with gold beads in the middle, but it has probably been taken away by others. I didn't find it this time!"

It's strange to find it. After all, there are gold beads on it. As long as people are not stupid, they will know that the thing is valuable!

The material of this string of eighteen beads, including the material of the back cloud and the falling corners, is exactly the same as that of the string of Buddhist beads.

While Ding Mao was admiring the two strings of agarwood, Ding Xianyou opened several packaging boxes, among which three white jade Buddha statues immediately caught Ding Xian's attention.

These three are the Three Sacred Buddhas of the West, Amitabha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.

Amitabha represents boundless light, boundless life, and boundless merit, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva represents great compassion, and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva represents joy and equanimity.

These three Buddha statues are all seated statues, with open toes and full lotus posture, sitting on a double-petaled lotus seat. They have a solemn appearance and are all about 15cm in height. They are all made of Hetian white jade, and the jade quality is extremely delicate, and the whiteness is also top-notch.

Ding Mao was pleasantly surprised and a little surprised at the same time. Logically speaking, he should still have Buddhist niches, so he set his sights on the slightly larger packaging boxes!

As if he understood what his son meant, Ding Xian opened the packaging boxes one by one, and the contents inside were indeed Buddhist niches.

The Buddhist niche is a gilt bronze Buddhist niche with eight treasures pattern. It does not have any gem embellishment and looks very simple and heavy. It is about 28cm high.

Ding Mao devoutly placed each Buddha statue in the Buddhist niche, which is simply a natural and inexhaustible beauty.

"When we were getting rid of the four olds, Yaozu hid it because he was afraid that it would be damaged. If we hadn't rummaged carefully this time, we might have forgotten it. Look at this money again!"

As he said this, Ding Xianyou took out a large gold coin and carried two Buddhas on his back for the Chunhua Yuanbao.

Ding Mao stood up when he saw this coin. His trip to Jin Province was originally intended to collect as much as possible this coin, but he never expected to get it in this way!

Chunhua Yuanbao carries two Buddhas on its back as offering money. It was minted during the Taizong period of the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 990). It is made of three materials: gold, copper, and iron. It can also be divided into Xiaoping, Zheliang and other coins. Its text is written in Xuandu Yubi.

The one in Ding Mao's hand is a small gold coin with a diameter of about 24mm. There is another one with three Buddhas on its back and a diameter of 41mm. They are both extremely rare collections.

In the spring of 1988, when a pagoda was being built in Wutai Mountain, Shanxi Province, a batch of money for Chunhua Buddha statues was unearthed. It is said that there were more than 2000 coins, which were robbed by those present at the time. A total of 1343 coins (some say 1341 coins) were recovered afterwards.

At first, those scattered around were all suspected to be handicrafts. After the news about Mount Wutai spread, many collectors and spring merchants flocked to them!

This is really a deliberate attempt to plant flowers that fail to bloom, but unintentionally planting willows to create shade!

"What else?"

Ding Mao was already extremely excited, and he only hoped that the remaining things would shock him as much as possible.

Ding Xian opened the remaining two boxes. One contained a gilt copper incense burner, and the other contained a gilt copper hairpin offering plate!

Ding Mao also had to sigh, Chen Yaozu's ancestors were really not simple!The materials, craftsmanship, materials used, etc. of these items are all very particular.

Most of the incense burners he had seen in his previous life were made of porcelain, stoneware, pottery, etc. He had also seen copper incense burners sprinkled with gold or pure copper and gilt. This was the first time he had seen them in his two lives. The same goes for offering plates!
