Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

For about two hours in the afternoon, Wu Yuansheng used a shovel and a small pickaxe to dig out nearly 10 kilograms of fine porcelain shards from the mound.

Unlike the porcelain shards that can be seen directly on the surface of the mound, when digging with a small pickaxe, because he could not see what was going on under the mound, he dug out a beautifully patterned porcelain shard.

This porcelain piece was on the bottom of a large plate, with a painting of a horse, and the blue and white paintings were painted in white, which made him very annoyed.

In addition to the porcelain pieces, he also found two beads about one centimeter in diameter, one of turquoise and one of lapis lazuli.

They should be prayer beads.

This temple can have such high-end gem-level items, which shows that the incense was still very strong in the past.

He didn't search inside the tiles or bricks; digging there would be too laborious.

"Boss Wu, I went to Boss Li's house to buy a lot of things this afternoon!"

On the way back, Yang Tantou said when he saw the items placed in the car.

"They're all worthless. How was your luck this afternoon? Did you get a bigger harvest?"

Wu Yuansheng asked casually, although he knew that he might not tell the truth.

"I dug up a Hongwu and spent money! Hey, I have paid the rent these days and I have no money again. You can see how much I can get for it and I will sell it to you later. This is what it is worth today!"

Yang Tantou sighed as he spoke, looking like he was short of money.

"Okay! Let me take a look."

After he finished speaking, he parked the car on the side of the road.

Yang Cheng took out a large-looking coin from his chest pocket and handed it over.

He took it in his hand and looked at it.

This is a large coin about seven or eight centimeters in diameter. It looks very thick, like a small bronze mirror. I tried the weight and estimated it to be 100 grams.

On the front of the coin is written "Hongwu Tongbao", and on the back is the "Picture of Guanyin and Three Animals".

The three animals are cattle, sheep and horses.

The coins produced from the sand in the river look to be in good condition, not too rusty, and look relatively yellow and bright.

He had seen others find this kind of money before, but he had never detected it himself.

He greatly admired Zhu Hongwu, the founding emperor who was born a beggar and herder, worked as a monk, destroyed the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty.

He once thought about collecting such a large coin, but he never found it.

Now the opportunity is in front of him, and as long as the price is right, he plans to buy it.

"Boss Yang, please tell me how much it costs!"

After reading it, he asked the price.

"3000, isn't it expensive?"

Yang Tantou thought for a while and then said.

"Okay! I want it."

Wu Yuansheng agreed.

He took out 30-dollar bills from his wallet, counted and handed them to him, and he put the money away properly.

This coin is a thicker version and is in good condition, so it is much more valuable than those ordinary coins of the same type.

The water inside the coins is very deep. The same coins have different weight, thickness, and appearance, and the prices vary greatly.

If it is of inferior quality, you can buy it for a few hundred dollars.

If you really want to collect coins, you must collect coins that are thick and in good condition.

He planned to keep this "Hongwu Guanyin Three Animals Picture" for himself and not sell it in the future.

(People always have some favorite items. When they are not short of money, they come across them, buy them and put them at home. Every time they see them, they remind themselves of something and gain some insights. This is what he thinks about now. Understanding of collection.)

After the transaction was completed, he drove back.

When he arrived at the downstairs of the house where he lived, after Yang Tantou left, he went to Jingxiu Community and Xincheng Homes first.

When Yi Xiaoyue was shopping in the demolition area in the afternoon, she called him and told him that she was buying some wood-carved masks.

The person who was doing recycling before called him and didn't say what it was. He just said it was in stock and asked him to take a look.

It was made mysterious, which made him very curious.

It was not the first time for him to buy a mask made of wood, he had bought it before.

After Yi Xiaoyue bought them, she told him that the masks were placed in the storage room next to the management committee.

After Wu Yuansheng placed the stone objects in Jingxiu Community, he drove over and took a look.

There are quite a few masks made from this batch of wood carvings, with 36 in total.

They are different in size and have different carvings.

The largest one is almost half a meter tall, and the smallest one is only about 20 centimeters.

I casually took a look at a large one. The whole mask was carved with two shapes. The lower face looked like a dragon head, and the top of the dragon head shape was a bald figure.

This mask should be that of an Arhat.

The small masks are just bald figures.

I checked them and found that they were all well preserved, except for a few that had some slight bumps.

These masks must have been used in the previous temple. Later, the temple may have been destroyed and they were taken away by others. Then they were sold to someone in this family in the demolition area and collected by him.

It may be that this person from the older generation is no longer here, and the person who was involved in the recycling process was found from the old house.

I called him today and sold everything to them again.

Judging from the patina on the surface of the mask, it appears to be very old, at least a hundred years old.

After looking at the material of the wood, it should be ebony, which is also a good wood.

It must have been smeared with tung oil before, and you can still smell a vague smell of tung oil.

On the phone before, Yi Xiaoyue told him that she spent a total of 2000 yuan on these.

2000. You must have made a profit by buying these. The price of one is probably more than 2000.

Each of their shapes is very vivid and expressive, and it can be seen that they were made by a former master sculptor.

Ordinary masters cannot produce such good "works".

Feeling that they were of great value, Wu Yuansheng transferred them to the van and then put them in the house of Xincheng Homes.

When I got home, it was almost 7:30.

They were already hungry, so they had dinner first.

After dinner, when the two were chatting, Yi Xiaoyue asked him how the masks he bought today were like.

He expressed what he felt about the situation, saying that the stuff was very good and he could make a lot of money.

Ask her not to sell it online first. It is best not to sell this kind of thing separately, but to sell it together. After all, it is a batch of items and a complete set.

This is just like collecting coins or stamps, etc. The value is greatest in sets.

At the same time, Wu Yuansheng also told her about something he bought from Boss Li of the excavator today.

In addition to the wooden mask, Yi Xiaoyue also bought 9 treasury bills today.

The face values ​​are 5 yuan, 10 yuan and 50 yuan.

其中5元的有6张，10元的有2张，50元的1张。

The total face value is 100 yuan.

Their year is 87.

In the 100s, yuan was still very valuable. After all, at that time, it was still worth pennies.

These treasury bills were all in good condition. The recycler found them in an envelope sandwiched between the pages of an old book.

Yi Xiaoyue said that it cost 500 yuan in total to buy them.

The current market for collecting treasury bills is very good. 500 yuan is definitely profitable, at least five times the profit.

He's been feeling tired lately, so around 9:30, he washes up and goes to bed.
