Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

In the following period of time, because of the demolition of the winery in X City District and the Zhenwushan area, Wu Yuansheng would go there frequently.

Occasionally, I would go to the homes of some residents who have moved out or take some videos when buying things from the owners of recycling scrap goods.

He could almost earn back all the money he spent on buying things through the live broadcast in the evening.

Although he never actively asked for rewards, he no longer refused those fans who voluntarily gave him rewards.

(In the era of self-media, it is normal for people who open antique shops to sell antiques to make less money than those who know how to collect and do live broadcasts to help others identify antiques.

As for rewarding, hundreds or thousands of dollars are spent quickly, and any gift will just flash on the screen for a few seconds.

The shop may not be open for a day, but if you do a live treasure appraisal, just chat a few words, say a few funny words, usually people like to listen and watch more.)

One afternoon at the end of March, he was hanging out at Hu Zhixiang's house and watching his live broadcast. Master Xu, who lived in the north of the city and used to be the gatekeeper at the mosque on "Huimin Street" west of Yiqiao, called him.

He said he found something in the yard a few days ago and asked him to come over and take a look.

When I asked him what it was, he said you would know when you go and see it.

Quite mysterious.

Without asking any more questions, he hung up the phone, told a few people who were also playing there that he had something to do, and then left.

There are many colleagues who came here for the "gathering" today, including Yan Shun, Xiao Xie, Yang Cheng, Xue Houzi, Wan Neng, and Mr. Wang.

It’s still the same people who often play here.

When he was leaving, Lao Hu asked him to come over for dinner in the evening.

Driving on the way to the north of the city, he thought of the mosque a few years ago and the big catalpa tree that was more than 300 years old.

It is said that in order to protect it, the project construction party spent more than 400 million yuan and hired experts to conduct on-site inspections and designs. The area within a radius of 3000 square meters is a protected area.

When digging downwards, in order to prevent soil erosion, more than 20 protective piles were driven in within a certain radius and at a depth of more than 90 meters, and concrete was poured.

Protecting a tree takes a lot of effort.

He would think of this every time he went to that place or passed by that area.

Since Master Xu went to the demolition area and picked up iron at the garbage dump, he has not gone to work anywhere else.

A monthly salary of 2000 yuan is definitely not as free and profitable as picking up iron at a garbage dump.

However, there have been fewer construction projects in various places recently, especially fewer places for building houses, and there has been no dumping of debris.

In the future, it is definitely better to work.

This moment, that moment.

"Boss Xu, you didn't tell me clearly what you got over the phone. Did you find something hidden in the cellar?"

When they arrived at his house and met, Wu Yuansheng greeted him with a smile.

His family has moved and now lives on the first floor of a new house, which comes with an additional 40 to 50 square meters of usable space, which can be used to grow vegetables or store miscellaneous items.

In any case, those who have been relocated will live better than most people who have not been relocated.

He has been to this new residence several times.

"Yes! I picked up a jar of copper coins and a broken big iron bell. Take a look."

At home, they are not afraid of people outside hearing them.

"What kind of copper coin is it? Let me take a look first."

I was just joking when I said that before, but I didn't expect that he actually got the cellar.

It must have been prepared in advance, Master Xu quickly took out all the copper coins.

Wu Yuansheng originally thought that the things were in the jar and not opened, but when he took it, he found that the coins were all in a large convenient bag.

I simply picked up a handful of coins and took a look. They were Qing Dynasty coins, including Qianlong Tong Bao, Daoguang Tong Bao, Shunzhi Tong Bao, Jiaqing Tong Bao, etc.

"Master Xu, did you break the jar?"

Seeing this situation, he asked.

"Yeah! I took it home, but I couldn't pour it out, so I smashed it open."

"You're going to sell it for a lot less money this way. If you put it in a jar, it'll be worth more for gambling."

After thinking for a while, he said to him.

"Really? If I had known this, I wouldn't have smashed it, but now that it has been smashed, you take a look at the coins first, and then we can discuss the price."

Master Xu said this as he looked at the copper coins in the bag.

There were coins in tubes and also loose change. After observing them, I didn't see many big coins, just the kind that were worth "Xianfeng fifty" and "Xianfeng hundred".

In this case, it may be that he selected the larger coins separately.

“Has the big money been chosen separately?”

After reading it once, Wu Yuansheng asked him again.

“I selected a few, and gave some to my sons and grandsons because they liked them.

Look at how much these copper coins are worth. I believe you. This is not the first time we have dealt with each other. After you look at these, let’s look at the big clock.”

Master Xu didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"Currently, the prices of all kinds of antiques in the entire collection market are falling, and the same is true for all kinds of coins!

Normally when you go to an antique city, there are basically no people around. We'll weigh these by kilogram. Since some of them are small, I'll charge you 400 per kilogram.

If it was a few years ago, when the market was good, or if the product was still in the can, I could have offered a higher price.”

He thought about it and said to him.

In addition to large banknotes, they may have also selected other coins. After all, in this technological age, one can easily search for information on their mobile phones to know what is valuable and what is worthless.

Of course, it is possible that they did not make a choice, but it is not convenient to say.

Of course, he wouldn't lose money at the price he mentioned, as there would be some coins and a few larger ones.

"Okay, let's do as you say. 400 per jin is 400 per jin."

After Master Xu agreed, they weighed it and found the total weight was about 22.5 kilograms, which was exactly 9000 yuan.

After looking at the coins and calculating the prices, they looked at the clock again.

The bell is an iron bell, about half a meter high and 40 centimeters in diameter.

It is not complete. There is a palm-sized chip on one side. Looking at the gap, it is obvious that it was broken by an excavator.

There are words on the surface of the iron bell, but because it is severely rusted, it is impossible to tell what is written. There are also words in the damaged areas.

"Master Xu, haven't you found the damaged part?"

Although he somewhat knew what the consultant meant, he still asked.

"If I find it, I will definitely take it out together. I guess I can't find that part anymore."

This is basically the actual situation. The things that the excavator digs onto the dump truck are transported to the dump site, and then pushed by the bulldozer. It is hard to say where they are buried.

"how much is this?"

Wu Yuansheng asked the price again.

"You should tell me! You know more about this than I do."

"This one is not damaged. To be honest, someone might buy it for 5,000 or 8,000 yuan. There are many damaged parts, so its value is much less.

So, I won’t say 1000 yuan, I’ll give you 2000 yuan, what do you think?”

After briefly considering it, he said to him.

"Okay! Then we'll just follow the price you said."

Master Xu thought about it and agreed.

Then Wu Yuansheng asked him if he had any other items for sale.

He said he had some porcelain pieces, but not many, and he would sell them to him when he had more.

With nothing else in sight, he paid for the items and loaded his purchases into the van.

Although the iron bell was broken, it was very thick and weighed almost 100 kilograms.

What a pity, if it were complete, it would be worth more.

Master Xu invited him to have dinner, but he said he already had a place to stay that night and they could get together again another day when they had time.

After leaving here, Wu Yuansheng first went back to his residence, put his things away, sat at home for a while, and then went to Hu Zhixiang's place.
