Doing It Over Again

Two thousand and six hundred yuan will not be considered a lot of money in 600 years, but at present, when many employees' monthly salary is only about five hundred, more than two thousand and six hundred yuan can be equivalent to the salary of many people for nearly half a year.

After collecting the money, Shen Shao washed up and went to bed after reading a few books. He went to bed early and woke up early to be in good health. The most important thing was that he wanted to do something that made money by luck while school was still a few days away.

The next day, Shen Shao got up early, put on a set of clean clothes, packed another set of clothes in his bag, took his passbook and more than 2000 yuan and entered the county seat. When the post office opened, he saved 1000 yuan. Six arrived in the passbook, leaving [-] yuan on him, and then walked on the street unhurriedly.

The streets are a bit narrow and dilapidated. He remembers that 18 years later, Peng County has developed a lot of places. The streets extend in all directions, and there are many famous brand stores. It is like a different world from the current dusty appearance.

With 1000 yuan and a passbook on his body, Shen Shao did not go to crowded places to join in the fun, but walked slowly on this not-so-long street, looking slowly.

He has a good memory since he was a child, but he was unable to continue studying because conditions did not allow it.After graduating from middle school, I took a car to other places to work for a Chinese restaurant, first as a vegetable washer, then as a vegetable cutter, and gradually became a chef, and even went to take the qualification certificate. Although the salary is not low, but Every time he sees those young and beautiful college students, he still has regrets in his heart.

He is a half-grown child now, and no vendor with a small stall greets him, and no one pushes him away when he wants to see something, but most of them treat him as if he doesn't exist.

To go to the bus station, he had to pass the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine. When he got to the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, he saw many people selling scratch cards. These scratch cards cost two yuan each. Many people would scrape out a piece of soap, a towel, etc. , the more advanced ones are bicycles and vans, so many people will spend a few dollars to buy two to try their luck.

He remembered that it was popular to buy this kind of scratch card for a while in his previous life. At that time, some people even used their family savings to buy the scratch card, and the wives were separated. Later, because of the irregular operation of this kind of scratch card, they were forced by the government. The cancellation of the order did not cause ordinary people to continue to gamble aimlessly.

There was a thick layer of scratched cards on the ground, and some children picked up the cards on the ground to play with, and some even found unscratched cards on the ground and picked them up to try their luck.

In the crowd, Shen Shao saw his aunt huddled in the crowd, walking out with a few scratch cards in her hand, looked up and saw him walking over quickly, patted his head and asked, "Little Has Shao had breakfast yet?"

Shen Shao nodded: "Auntie, I've already eaten."

After thinking about it, my aunt bought two flower rolls from a nearby breakfast restaurant and stuffed them into Shen Shao's arms: "Take them for fun, and come to our house for dinner at noon."

Shen Shao shook his head. The two children of his uncle's family are not in good condition. Although his aunt loves to take advantage of small things, she is very good to his family, and he doesn't want to trouble their family: "I will talk to them this afternoon. The classmate made an appointment to buy books together, and we will go to his house for dinner later."

When my aunt heard this, she wanted to give him ten yuan, but she had no choice but to take the money back when he refused repeatedly, and said, "Then be careful on the road, watch the car when crossing the road, and come to us if you have anything to do."

"Thank you, aunt, I see," Shen Shao looked at the slightly fat woman in front of him. In his previous life, he went to work after graduating from junior high school, so he didn't have much contact with his aunt, but when he came home during the holidays, his aunt would give He cooks a table of delicious food.Whether it's because he really sympathizes with him or because of his uncle's face, he is very grateful for the warmth she once gave him.

Shen Shao didn't scratch the lottery ticket to try his luck, but went to the bus station to buy a ticket, and took the bus to Furong City, the provincial capital.

Furong is a metropolis. Although it is not as prosperous as it was 20 years later, its clean and wide streets and tall buildings still show the world the appearance of a provincial capital.

He came to Furong City now not for anything else, but for a thing that he envied in his previous life.In a village in Furong City, there was a family who threw away some old pots and pots because of the demolition of the old house, but was discovered by a passer-by expert who picked up leaks. He sold these things for a few yuan and kept them for a few years. It sold for nearly a million, because the white-bottomed blue-and-white vase and several dark-patterned flower bowls turned out to be good things from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.

In his previous life, the leak picker went to their Chinese restaurant for dinner, and the scene was scary. He was always elated when talking about it. He even explained clearly when he picked it up, where he picked it up, and how much he paid for it. Chu.

Every time you brag, everyone has to cooperate to make a look of envy, otherwise this person will be dissatisfied, and turn to the lobby manager to complain about their lack of service or bad taste of the food.Come and go, whenever this guy comes to the hotel for dinner, everyone can save a lot of trouble just by showing him a look of admiration.

Shen Shao also expressed envy for this person's experience, so after he was reborn in this life, he decided to take a look by himself to see if there was such an opportunity. If he could find this opportunity, he would not have to worry about tuition fees.

Now the hotel does not strictly check the people who check in, and does not need to register with an ID card, so Shen Shao's half-old child went to the hotel to rest. Although the receptionist was strange, but seeing that he had paid for the room, he didn't ask much.

The next morning, Shen Shao checked out of the room, took a bus to the suburbs, and took a tricycle for nearly an hour before arriving at his destination.

Shen Shao approached the house being demolished. There were rotten wood and broken tiles piled on the ground. He looked around, and finally found a dusty blue and white flower bed and several blue and white bowls by the ditch next to it.He walked quickly to the side of the ditch, picked up a bowl and looked at it carefully. There was a small hole missing in this bowl, but the overall pattern was still well preserved.

"Child, which family do you belong to? The house is being demolished here, don't play here, be careful if you fall and smash it," a man with a somewhat fierce face came out from the side, and seeing him holding an old bowl that his family didn't want, he felt a little nervous. Impatiently, "Take the bowl and play." If he falls and knocks, he will not only lose a sum of money, but also suffer bad luck. The house is being demolished and a new one is being repaired. Who would want to encounter such a situation? Kind of bad luck?

Shen Shao looked at the man, held the bowl in his hand and said, "Uncle, do you sell these bowls?"

The man saw that Shen Shao was dressed in ordinary clothes, and he didn't look like a child from a rich family. He was a little unhappy and said, "You want to buy it? I'll give you 20 yuan."

"Twenty?" Shen Shao took out a pile of change from his trouser pocket and counted out 20 yuan, "My grandma likes bowls like this. Does uncle have cardboard boxes at home? I want to put some hay to take these bowls and jars home."

Seeing that Shen Shao really took out 20 yuan, the man burst into a smile, and diligently helped Shen Shao find cardboard boxes and hay, and even helped him pack the things and tie them with rope, "Children, this bowl But it was left by my grandpa’s generation, and after you bring it back, the elders in the family will definitely like it.” Originally, the family threw away unwanted things, but met a stupid kid who insisted on spending money to buy them, and he was happy to pick up 20 yuan for nothing. This can buy several catties of pork.

Seeing that Shen Shao was struggling to hold the cardboard box, the man enthusiastically called the neighbor who ran three rounds for him, and helped him negotiate a good price. He was relieved when he saw Shen Shao leaving in the car.

I don't know which family raised a prodigal son who took a few broken jars and rotten bowls as treasures. He still kept it a secret, lest people say that he cheated children of money.

After getting the things, Shen Shao was worried that the things would be broken and become worthless on the way home, so he simply took a car to the antique trading company in Furong City, which has just opened not long ago but has a good reputation in the future.

Antiques are things that emerged after the 90s. In recent years, the transaction price has been rising. Although the price is not as scary as after 2010, some local tyrants who have already made a fortune want to buy a bunch of antiques to pile up at home in order to show off their status. So As long as it is genuine, there is still no shortage of market.

Nowadays, because many ordinary people do not know the value of antiques, they often sell them as scraps when they encounter those who pick up the leaks. In the end, I don’t know how many people regret that they thought they picked up cheap things.

Although Shen Shao knew that these antiques would be more valuable after 2010, but now he couldn't take them back and was short of money, so he had no choice but to make a bad move.

After entering the gate of the antique trading company, the staff inside saw that a child brought the things, and they thought he was stealing things from home to sell, and they were unwilling to register him.But when Shen Shao said that the adults in the family were gone, and he wanted to study but had no money, he was a little moved.When he saw that Shen Shao even took out his household registration booklet and elementary school graduation photos, his psychological doubts were gradually shaken.So a staff member still called his elementary school, and didn't say that he was going to sell antiques, but said that he was planning to subsidize part of Shen Shao's tuition, and wanted to know his real situation.

Class No.1, the mother committed suicide by drinking pesticide, and the father ran away with other women, leaving a half-grown child to live alone.After the information was known by the people of the trading company, all doubts disappeared immediately, leaving only sympathy.Seeing that Shen Shao was thin and weak, a female staff member gave him her own milk biscuits, and then urged people to invite experts to appraise these items. If they were sure they were genuine, they would help bid for a good price.

After the expert appraisal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because these items are not only authentic, but also official kiln products from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, which are regarded as top-notch items in the collection of blue and white porcelain.

"Tomorrow there will be a national large-scale auction. This time, many big bosses in Xiangcheng and Beijing will come. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay in Furong City for two more days. If you can sell it, you will get the money." Responsible Seeing Shen Shao's well-behaved appearance, the staff who registered the antiques couldn't help comforting him, "Don't worry, the experts said, you are in good condition, and you will definitely be able to fetch a good price."

Shen Shao smiled gratefully at the staff, holding the milk as if reluctant to drink it.He is now a child with no money and no power, even if he intentionally let others know his tragic deeds, there is nothing to be ashamed of. A father who does such a thing is not ashamed. Does he still feel ashamed as a victim?

Sure enough, Shen Shao's appearance aroused even more sympathy from the on-site staff. In addition, Shen Shao's things were genuine, and they could get a part of the commission after the auction, so they became more enthusiastic about Shen Shao, and even arranged for him to live in the company's name for free. down the hotel.

Shen Shao did not go to the hotel they arranged, but found a nearby hotel by himself. Although it was more expensive, it was safer.

The next afternoon, as soon as he entered the antique company, he was warmly received by the staff. After listening to them, he realized that his items were taken by a big boss in Beijing, so he bought them at a price of 32 yuan. down.

This price has greatly exceeded the company's expectations, so after the transaction was successful, the people in charge of receiving Shen Shao were very happy. After all, the customers they were in charge of receiving sold good prices for antiques, and they also got a dividend.

32?

Shen Shao himself was also a little surprised. He originally thought that it would be good to sell more than [-] yuan, but he didn't expect to double the money.

Is this a stroke of luck?
