Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

The place where Hu Zhixiang invited everyone to dinner was a restaurant at the entrance of the alley in Wangtai Village.

He lives close to here.

Wangtai Village was quite prosperous ten years ago, especially fifteen years ago.

This city basically has all the second-hand mobile phones, computers, and motorcycles.

I remember when I was young and just came out, the first mobile phone I bought was bought here. It was a second-hand Nokia.

More than ten years have passed in a flash.

Compared to that time, there are no so-called second-hand motorcycles, nor mobile phones or computers here anymore.

There are only two shops selling electric vehicles, one shop repairing home appliances, and one shop repairing electric vehicles and motorcycles.

In addition, there are express delivery stores, noodle shops, a matchmaking agency, a pawn shop, etc.

The development of the times has changed the original living environment in many places.

As time goes by, people are very different from before.

Just like him, he is different now than he was ten years ago.

This place was not demolished, only the walls of the old houses along the street were renovated.

The weather was cold, so Hu Zhixiang ordered two hotpots, one beef and offal hotpot, and one yam stewed chicken hotpot.

For seven people, ordering two hotpots would definitely be enough, so he was willing to spend.

"Lao Hu, your income from this afternoon live broadcast is pretty good! If you keep going like this, you'll become an internet celebrity and you can get rich by receiving tips from others."

After finding an empty table and sitting around it, Xue Houzi said.

“What Mr. Xue said makes sense. Today is the era of showcasing personal talents. Everyone uses mobile phones to surf the Internet and entertain themselves.

If Lao Hu broadcasts every day, he can only make two or three hundred yuan a day, not including the sale of those "products", which is better than many people working part-time."

Xiao Xie followed up.

"Yes! Boss Liu, you can also make some artworks with the porcelain pieces when you have nothing to do, put them in your home, and do some live streaming."

Yan Shun looked at Liu Sizhi and said to him with a smile.

“You need to be good at speaking to start a live broadcast. I am not good at speaking, so even if I start it, I guess there won’t be many people watching. People who come to watch it are mainly for chatting.

Maybe they will find it interesting for a day or two, but if you don’t liven up the atmosphere over time, you won’t be able to keep people around and they will go somewhere else to watch.”

What Liu Sizhi said makes sense.

People who are taciturn are not suitable for live broadcasts, unless they have other talents and do not need to talk.

"Boss Xue, you are good at talking, right? You can give it a try! Maybe you can make some money."

He then said to Xue Houzi.

“When I’m chatting with you guys, I might be more talkative, but if you ask me to speak in the live broadcast room, I don’t know what to say. Forget it, I’m not capable of doing this.

Have you watched the live broadcast of Boss Wu? He helps others identify treasures for free. There are a lot of people watching, and the appraisals are pretty good. He will definitely become an Internet celebrity!"

As Boss Xue was talking, he turned the topic back to him.

"Of course I have, Boss Wu. You help others appraise treasures, but you don't ask for tips. Others are not like you, afraid that others will not give tips or give too little."

Xiao Xie took over Xue Houzi's topic and said to him.

"Boss Wu is not short of money, right? He is different from us. We are all poor. Why don't you ask others to give you some tips? You don't need the money you earn, you can just use it for a meal together."

Liu Sizhi looked at Wu Yuansheng with a joking look in his eyes.

“Whether others are willing to give rewards is their freedom. I just do live broadcasts to increase my knowledge. Besides, I’m not a real expert. Helping others to see things is subjective and may not be accurate.

In fact, you can also try to help others appraise antiques. We have been dealing with antiques for so long that we can still tell whether an item is real or fake, good or bad. "

"We don't know as much as you do. You often buy things in demolition areas, but we just look for goods in the dirt yard. Our knowledge is limited."

Hearing him say this, Yan Shun said.

"Yes! The items in the dirt yard are too limited. The items from the demolished area are the most diverse, with everything.

In this era, the real collectors and those with the most experience are those who often buy antiques and second-hand goods in demolition areas or those who often go out to shovel land and walk the streets. "

Wang Qingfu thought about it and said to everyone.

"Mr. Wang is a careful observer and what he said makes sense!"

While everyone was chatting, the hot pot was served.

The cooking here is very efficient, and the beef, offal and chicken are all cooked in advance.

Even if the weather is cold, it won't break down.

Just add some heat and it's ready to serve.

"Thank you all for coming to support us today and giving us gifts! I'd like to offer a toast to you all."

After the glasses were filled, Hu Zhixiang picked up his glass and spoke to the people at the table.

The others made polite remarks and started drinking.

Wu Yuansheng was going to drive and had not drunk any alcohol, so he ordered a bottle of coconut juice.

The hotpot made by this restaurant is delicious and affordable.

Small roadside restaurants are not like big hotels that pursue taste and are full of pretentiousness. The plates are as big as washbasins, but only a little bit of the food is actually edible.

These roadside restaurants have been doing business for a long time, their customer base is ordinary people, and they focus on affordability.

It’s not cost-effective. Ordinary people will not come again next time after just one meal.

In addition, the taste of the dishes is not necessarily worse than those made in big hotels.

“I have good news for you all. There will be a treasure hunt next Saturday, organized by a certain brand of metal detector vendor.

It’s still the same as before, the top three will get a prize machine, and if you don’t want it, you can convert it into cash.”

After they ate, drank and chatted for a while, a message came to Yan Shun's phone. After reading it, he said to them.

"Really? Did you tell me where the event is going to be held?"

After hearing what he said, Liu Sizhi asked.

Others also looked at him.

“They said it’s a secret for now, and asked me to inform some friends in the treasure hunting industry. Once the number of people who sign up is confirmed next Friday, I’ll tell everyone the location. It shouldn’t be far away.

If any of you would like to participate, please tell me."

Yan Shun said again.

After he said this, except for Mr. Wang and Wu Yuansheng, everyone else signed up.

Xiao Xie didn’t play with detectors a few years ago, but after buying a second-hand machine from someone else, he started playing with it. He now regrets buying it too late.

Although he is not participating in the competition, he still plans to go over and watch the fun.

With the development of information, more and more people know about metal detectors, and more and more people buy this machine as a hobby.

This is not like ten years ago, when many places had been searched over and over again. Without engineering, it would be basically impossible to detect any objects outdoors.

Everyone ate and chatted, and dinner was over.

After sitting for a while, they went to Hu Zhixiang's place to play for half an hour, and then went home.

In the evening, Wu Yuansheng also did a live broadcast to help others look for some items.

The items most of them took out were fake goods purchased from street stalls, some of which they bought themselves and some of which were bought by their family members.

While helping them look at items, he also shared some information about collectibles and market conditions.

If people don't understand, they should buy as little as possible. There are basically no bargains these days. People who buy things know exactly how much the items in their hands are worth.

The seller definitely knows better than the buyer.

In today’s technological age, the value of an item can be found by searching for the same item online, and the same goes for antiques.

For the same product, fakes have different prices, and genuine products have different prices. Even if they are genuine products, the prices are different. Some people sell them for 200 yuan, while others sell them for 1000 yuan.

This is the same principle as buying vegetables at the market.

At about half past nine, he washed up and went to bed.
