Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 335 It’s not good to leave the “Tiger” at home

Lao Zhang and the others live in a village next to a buried drainage pipe, renting a house from a local.

This is a house with a large area, with four three-story rooms and front and rear yards.

The house is at the entrance of the village, not too far from the road construction area, but unfortunately, it is not within the scope of demolition.

Otherwise it will be expropriated, but no matter what, you can make some money.

The landlord's house is very spacious and has plenty of free land.

In addition to the rented house, the construction team had many workers and built a large kitchen, a storage room, and a large toilet in the vacant space.

A well was also drilled.

And the landlord seemed to have started business, opening a shop selling various snacks, tobacco and alcohol.

There are also two "slot machines" in the shop.

This is what Lao Zhang told him while walking and chatting.

There was no big money in it, and no particularly valuable coins.

"Okay, let me see what you have."

Boss Wu, she is the landlord! When I came back at noon and met her, I also told her about your coming to collect antiques. "

Wu Yuansheng took a look and saw a hookah, a long pipe pot, and an agate cigarette holder.

After saying that, they followed her to a side room next to the yard.

There is a 13-level Huanghuali in the abacus.

Just as she said, the things were indeed ready, and there were quite a few of them placed along the wall.

The landlord took out the key and opened the door, and the three of them walked in.

"Yes! Didn't you say that you also have something you want to sell? Let Boss Wu look at your stuff first, and then look at ours.

"Okay! Then take a look at mine first, I'm ready."

Four or five abacus, five or six kerosene lamps, horse lanterns, two large wooden scales, a string of copper coins, and some copper coins.

When Wu Yuansheng went in with him, he saw several workers inserting coins into the slot machine and gambling on the machine.

"Lao Zhang, is this the antique collector you mentioned? He looks so young!"

There are not many copper coins, only about twenty coins, which are also very common.

A middle-aged woman in the house saw them and said hello.

This woman looks to be almost fifty years old.

There seemed to be more than two hundred copper coins. He took it in his hand and looked at it. There were Wuzhu, Kaiyuan, Song coins, Qing coins, etc.

If there are many people playing these two slot machines, the income will be faster than opening a store.

Master Zhang was talking to the woman and then said to him.

These three are from the Republic of China period.

The woman didn't refuse and said directly.

A blue and white Xizi jar from the late Qing Dynasty, a pair of pastel "Xi Shang Branch" lantern-shaped ornamental vases from the Republic of China period, two tea cups with blue glaze, and a blue and white landscape pattern tea cup with saucer.

Two blue and white longevity peach bowls, a blue and white "Five Blessings and Longevity" plate, a pastel four-season flower plate, and a blue and white pen holder with "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls".

These porcelains look very good, they are all fine porcelain.

He took it one by one and looked at it. Everything was correct. It was old porcelain, and there was no damage or cracks.

A bluestone sculpture of a tiger sitting with its head upward.

This tiger has a base of about 10 centimeters and an overall height of about 40 centimeters. The tiger does not look like an adult tiger, but a juvenile tiger cub.

"Landlord, your home has a lot of antiques. Does anyone at home collect them?"

Lao Zhang asked curiously when he saw the things she placed on the wall.

"No one collects them. Many of them were taken back from the landowner's house when the old man was the captain. He passed away last year, so I wanted to find a time to sell them. Now someone is collecting them to save me another trip. "

She looked at the items on the ground and said to him.

"Is this stone carved with a lucky cat? It looks like a tiger to me. Do you want to sell this thing too?"

Lao Zhang looked at the bluestone sculpture and said to the landlord.

<divclass="contentadv">"Does it look like a Lucky Cat? Then I'll pick it up and not sell it! Others said it was a tiger before."

After listening to Lao Zhang's words, she was ready to move the "tiger" of the stone.

"Landlord, this is a tiger, not a lucky cat. It is not good to have a tiger in your home. If a person's luck cannot be controlled, it may eat people and bring disaster. Many people don't even have tiger paintings in their homes. Hang up!"

She said she didn't want to sell the stone carved tiger, Wu Yuansheng said quickly.

He likes this tiger very much. This kind of tiger is rare.

In a transaction, the buyer and seller are likely to be influenced by something and change their previous minds.

"Really? I did hear someone say before that you can't hang paintings of tigers in your home. This one is indeed not a cat, so I'd better sell it!"

The landlord said this, and he was finally relieved.

Then they started to discuss the price.

Hookah, pipe pot, and cigarette holder are all 150 yuan.

The landlord asked for 300 yuan for the abacus, kerosene lamp, horse lantern, and pole scale. She said that two large pole scales were valuable, and one cost 100 yuan.

In fact, the huanghuali abacus inside is more valuable.

Of course Wu Yuansheng would not tell her, otherwise it would be difficult to buy things.

Going out to pick up items means buying items that others don’t understand.

Copper coins and copper dollars cost 500 yuan together, which is almost counted by the piece, 2 yuan each.

The landlord may want to get rid of these things, and the asking price is not high. Maybe someone has come to buy them before, but they did not sell them when the old man (her husband's father) was here.

The blue and white jar with the word "happy" costs 200 yuan.

The pair of lanterns and bottles cost 600 yuan, and the three teacups cost 500 yuan.

Two blue and white longevity peach bowls cost 500 yuan.

A longevity plate with five blessings and a pastel plate with four seasons flowers, both cost 400 yuan.

"Two Dragons Playing with Pearls" pen holder costs 200 yuan.

Bluestone carved tiger, 600 yuan.

These items cost a total of 3950 yuan.

"Landlord, I heard that there are golden lumps, golden beans, and golden grains here and in the surrounding villages. Have you seen them?"

After paying the money and preparing to take the things to the van, Wu Yuansheng said to her.

"I saw it, but I didn't get it."

She probably won't say anything even if she gets it.

"I just bought you some coins. Do you have any silver coins at home? If so, I'll take them too."

he asked again casually.

"There are a few pieces, but I won't sell that one, so I'm going to keep it!"

If the landlord doesn't want to sell, he certainly won't force it.

After chatting for a few more words, the three of them took their things and went to his van parked at the door.

After putting everything away, Wu Yuansheng followed Lao Zhang to a room on the third floor, where four people were playing cards and fighting against the landlord.

Judging from their age, they are all in their forties or fifties.

When he came to the house rented by the workers, he found that there were not many young people working on the construction site.

This may be related to the poor conditions of the construction site and the dirty and tiring work done.

He had heard others say before, and when he was watching short videos, he had also seen that young people nowadays generally do not go to construction sites to work.

Most of the people working on construction sites are in their thirties and above, with most people in their forties and fifties, and quite a few in their fifties and sixties.

Seeing them come in, the card players stopped playing cards.
