The next day was Friday. Zhang Tianci attended classes all morning. After lunch, he took a bus and went to the Chenghuang Temple Antique Market. pb

Jiangcheng has been a dock for floods and droughts since ancient times. The antique market is huge, but there are also many scammers. Here, if you don’t have a sharp eye, you may be deceived and lose your fortune.

Zhang Tianci walked around in a circle, walked slowly into a shop specializing in coin tinkering, and looked at it on the counter.

"Brother, are you shipping or buying?" A young man walked slowly over, holding a small purple clay teapot in his hand, and asked.

This man is very elegant, wearing a double-breasted Tang suit, and the smile on his face is neither too thick nor too light. It can be seen that he is also a veteran in the business world.

Generally speaking, those who deal in antiques are older people, but the shopkeeper of this shop looks to be only or years old, which surprises Zhang Tianci a little.

"Ten sets of copper coins from the Five Emperors of the Qing Dynasty," Zhang Tianci said.

The young shopkeeper's eyes lit up slightly, he nodded, and took out ten strings of copper coins from under the counter.There are five copper coins in each string, which are Tongbao copper coins issued by the five emperors Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty.

"Change it." Zhang Tianci did not reach out to pick it up. He only glanced at it and said calmly.

This copper coin was fake, Zhang Tianci could see through it at a glance. But in the antiques industry, one doesn’t tell the truth after seeing through it, so Zhang Tianci just asked the shopkeeper to change it.

The young shopkeeper was also surprised by Zhang Tianci's eyesight, and after a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "Okay, wait a minute."

After that, the young shopkeeper walked to the inner room, turned around and took out a tray. Inside the tray were hundreds of yellow and orange copper coins. pb

Zhang Tianci casually picked up five copper coins, spread them flat in his hand, held them up in front of his eyes, and looked at them levelly.

Half a minute later, Zhang Tianci nodded, put the copper coin back, and said, "Let's negotiate a price."

"Genuine Five Emperors coins, one set is nine hundred, and ten sets are nine thousand." The young shopkeeper said.

"It's so expensive, so let's get a set first." Zhang Tianci frowned.

The young shopkeeper nodded, picked up five copper coins and handed them to Zhang Tianci.

Zhang Tianci verified that it was correct, temporarily placed the copper coins on the counter, and prepared to check out.

"Brother, I have a question for you. If you can help me answer my question, I will give this set of Five Emperors' Money to you." The young man looked at Zhang Tianci and said suddenly.

There is such a good thing

Zhang Tianci smiled slightly and said, "Please tell me."

"Customers often come here to buy Five Emperors copper coins. They also ask me whether it is better to tie the copper coins with yellow thread or red thread after buying the Five Emperors copper coins." The young shopkeeper looked at Zhang Tianci and asked leisurely.

"Red line." Zhang Tianci replied without thinking.

"Why is the red thread? I think the yellow thread is better." The young shopkeeper frowned slightly and said: "The earth is in the center, and the color is yellow. Isn't it better to use the earth to produce gold? Red is fire, and fire can overcome gold. Copper coins belong to gold, so from then on In this sense, it matches the yellow line better, but is incompatible with the red line.”

Zhang Tianci smiled faintly and said: "This is just what you said. Since we talk about the five elements and five colors, there are differences in thickness and thickness. It's just a thread, how much can it occupy? If the soil is rich, gold will be buried. If the soil is thin, gold will be mixed. If the soil is thin, nothing will grow. Gold is strong, and the yellow thread is tied to copper coins, which is a very awkward combination. On the contrary, the red thread is tied to copper coins, which is not about fire overpowering gold, but about slight fire refining to remove impurities and make the Five Emperors coins more effective."

Originally, Zhang Tianci had no intention of showing off, but the other party was willing to give it away with copper coins, so Zhang Tianci had no choice but to talk.

The young shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, savoring these words, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you." Zhang Tianci picked up the copper coins on the counter, weighed them in his hands, turned around and left.

I really didn’t expect that I could save 900 yuan so easily. It seems that today is an auspicious day, and I can’t stop my good luck.

"Brother, stay here," the young shopkeeper shouted loudly as he walked around the counter and rushed to the door.

Zhang Tianci turned around and asked with a smile: "Why, you are not satisfied with my answer just now?"

"No, no, brother, I have misunderstood." The young shopkeeper clasped his fists in a sly manner and said, "My dear, Sun Yang, I admire your brother's opinion just now."

"Then you've admired me, can I go?"

"" The young shopkeeper smiled and said: "I just want to make friends with my brother, please stay. Just now, my brother said that he wanted ten sets of Five Emperors copper coins, so I will give you nine more sets, which is a small token of appreciation between friends."

I went and gave me nine more sets. Zhang Tianci laughed in his heart, this is what he encountered

Ten sets of Five Emperors copper coins, worth nearly 10,000 yuan, are given away as soon as they are given.

"No reward for no merit, Boss Sun. I don't know why you gave me these ten sets of copper coins." Zhang Tianci thought for a while and asked.

"I just admire my brother's opinions and want to make friends. I don't have any purpose. Please don't worry." Sun Yang said sincerely.

"Okay, my name is Zhang Tianci. Remember my phone number. Let's have tea together when you have time." Zhang Tianci reported his number.

Sun Yang immediately saved Zhang Tianci's phone number and gave him his business card and nine other sets of Five Emperors copper coins.

Zhang Tianci took the business card and the copper coins and waved away.

Zhang Tianci was in a very good mood after receiving ten sets of Five Emperors copper coins for free.

Back at the school dormitory, Zhang Tianci collected the copper coins and rushed to the cafeteria for dinner.

But just after taking two bites, the phone rang. It was Jin Siyu.

"Hey, don't you want to invite me to dinner again, Miss Jin?" Zhang Tianci asked into the phone.

"You can have dinner with us if you're interested. I'm working overtime in the city bureau's morgue eating instant noodles, and in front of me is a highly decomposed corpse. Are you coming?" Jin Siyu asked.

Zhang Tianci almost spat out the two mouthfuls of rice he had just eaten, and said hurriedly: "Then you should eat alone. If you have any instructions, please tell me."

"It's like this. Captain Zheng just called and has helped you check in to the girls' dormitory. But in order to control the impact, you can only move in tomorrow night. Because tomorrow is Saturday, many girls go home or go out. , There are not many specific things for students in the dormitory. I will arrange it tomorrow afternoon and let you know first."

"Okay, then I will prepare and wait to move into the daughter country." Zhang Tianci smiled.

"I'm afraid that the Daughter Kingdom will turn into a goblin cave, so be careful. Tomorrow morning, I'll ask you to go to the mountain by the river to see the Taolin Cemetery. We'll talk about it after we meet." Jin Siyu hurriedly explained a few words and hung up the phone. See more Weixin official account: hhxs665
