Chapter 636 Under the Bed

The three or six or nine grades of playing drums all depend on the level of eyesight.

In the business of second-hand goods, what you eat is vision, experience and knowledge.

In the past, there was a distinction between "playing hard drums" and "playing soft drums".

The former purse only buys jewelry, jade, gold and silver jewelry.

The latter buys and sells groceries such as old furniture and clothes in baskets.

Apart from the cost, the key difference lies in the eyesight.

Even among the "detailed goods", there are several types of "red goods" (gemstones), "green goods" (jade), and "yellow and white goods" (gold and silver jewelry).

"Those who eat rough goods" are also divided into those who eat hardwood furniture, high-end furnishings, and those who eat ordinary furniture and clothes.

These more detailed distinctions are of course based on the ability to argue.

To put it bluntly, apart from eating waste products such as broken copper and rotten iron, newspapers and books, foreign bottles, etc., the entry threshold is relatively low, and they belong to non-influential practitioners.

As long as you are a long-headed person, not afraid of dirt and smell, you can work hard and stand hard work.

Other practitioners in the second-hand goods industry, compared with ordinary people, often have to have more knowledge in their stomachs and more sophistication on the scene in order to hold this job.

So to be honest, facing Kang Shude's sophistication today, Ning Weimin really didn't have much confidence.

His eyesight is a few catties and a few taels, don't you know it?
In terms of professionalism, he also knows a little more about stamps and coins, so he can be said to be an expert.

But whether his ability can be used today is still a matter of discussion.

What he is good at is actually picking the best from the best and picking the best from the best.

What does that mean?

Just like comparing the prices of calligraphy and painting, seal stone, porcelain, furniture, jade, jade, ivory, and rhino horn on the market, he can determine the most cost-effective investment direction.

It's like among the things that are on sale in the cultural relics store, he can guarantee that the porcelain he buys is the one with the greatest potential for appreciation in the future.

Or from the things that Sun Wufu converged in the direction he specified, he could find the most valuable good things.

Although it sounds awesome, but this is all thanks to the good market environment these years and his understanding of the future market, so he can achieve it.

Today, most of the houses in this room are really dilapidated. It can be said that it is a tough battle for gold mining in the sand, and it requires the real ability of sharp eyes.

Ever since he opened the altar palace, he hadn't thought about thinking about antiques, but recently his main business has been neglected for a long time.

How could he have the confidence to defeat Master?

If we want to use an analogy, at this moment, he is the same as Wei Xiaobao in "The Deer and Ding Tale" when he faced Chen Jinnan to test his martial arts.

That's why he was so vain in his heart that he just tried to calm himself down on the surface.

He only asks for one person not to lose too poorly, and just make the old man angry.

As for the courtyard in Shan'er Hutong, he really doesn't care, the old man's words are very clear.

Anyway, there is no one else to trust, everything will be his sooner or later.

That is to say, even the Ma Family Garden, after that day...

Afraid of exposing his wolfish ambitions, Ning Weimin swallowed his mouth, not wanting to think about it any further.

He rolled his eyes, picking up nice cheap words.

"Master, let me see what's under the bed first. You're so old, I'm afraid you'll show off your waist. You'd better take a look at the writing desk. I think the probability of there being something good there is relatively high."

But who is Kang Shude?
That's Zhu'er with blazing eyes, who doesn't rub the sand in his eyes at all.

How can it be so easy to fool.

"Don't do this yet."

The old man put on a straight face, "Your filial piety, I appreciate it. But I won't take advantage of you. Whether it's under the bed or the desk, I'll let you come, and I won't touch it. Alright."

"To be better than us, you have to be convinced. This is like playing chess. I have to give you a few bucks. Who made me a master and you an apprentice."

"But having said that, you don't want to be sloppy and get away with it. If your eyesight really doesn't improve, it's not a reward. Humph, see if I won't punish you for copying "Gegu Yaolun" three times. "of……"

"Hey," Ning Weimin responded repeatedly, regretting this.

I almost didn't give myself a mouth, and I thought why so many words.

Come on, don't waste your time, hurry up and start shopping for treasures seriously.

Even if I am a dog who sees the stars brightly, then at least there is a degree of enlightenment, and maybe I will be lucky enough to meet something close to my eyes.

Just like that, he took off his suit, hung it on the back of the chair, and spread old newspapers on the floor, lay down and began to dig things out.

Seeing this, Kang Shude went to the big closet to organize the things inside.

Not to mention, it's really interesting to do this.

Just as life is so rich and colorful, the things gathered by a family are also varied.

Ning Weimin pulled them out one by one from under the bed, including scratchers, shoehorns, leather tigers, pamphlets on preventing gas poisoning, books on how to grow flowers, a piece of shoelace, a few wine bottles, and half a bang. Jin Chan’s paper-cutting, New Year pictures rolled into a roll and then flattened, old calendars with beautiful landscape paintings...

The old man rummaged through the closet and found shirts, autumn clothes, long johns, sweaters, wool trousers, woolen hats, socks, rags, scarves, cotton gloves, cotton trousers, cotton shoes, cotton sleeves, bed sheets, and quilt covers. , pillowcase, pillowcase, mat, two brand new bars of soap, a large pack of expired pills, a feather duster...

These things are just like the temperament of ordinary people in the capital, small, diligent, inconspicuous, but practical.

In short, the master and the apprentice stopped talking as soon as they were working, and they all concentrated on it.

Just when [-]% to [-]% of the bed was wiped out, Ning Weimin really found something more interesting.

In the dim light, he could see two cardboard boxes in the dark place behind the bed.

He stretched out his hand and barely reached it.

The moment his fingertips touched the cardboard box, he felt sluggish and heavy.

This gave him even more hope, an unknown, a longing,
So I got out of the bed, found a wooden stick outside, and came back, and began to use tools to make the bed tight and pull the things inside out.

As soon as the first box was taken out, I couldn't wait to open it.

I saw a white piece, which turned out to be an old mosquito net.

After this thing was taken out, there were still a few pairs of old shoes underneath, nothing else.

But Ning Weimin, who was covered in ashes and sweaty from work, was not discouraged by it.

Because after the second box was pulled out, it was actually tightly sealed with tape, which seemed to be much more important than the first box.

After opening it this time, as expected, the things inside were different, and finally had something to do with culture.

It turned out to be five old notebooks.

Flipping through it casually, there are trivial matters and insights in the life of the original owner.More are reading notes and work schedules.

In addition, there are many awards and medals, ranging from graduation certificates, professional title certificates to honorary certificates.

But the most important thing is that at the bottom of these things, there is another thing tightly bound with newspapers and plastic ropes.

As soon as Ning Weimin picked it up, he knew it had something to do with it, because it was heavy and hard, and he could feel it was metal.

When I opened it this time, wow...

It really made him happy and got what he wanted.

A large area of ​​green rust flashed in the Ganqing newspaper, and under the green was a dark yellow.

Take it to a bright place and take a closer look, and it turns out to be a pair of two-foot-tall wax solders in the shape of cranes.

This is one of the first five offerings to the Buddha. A lotus flower is held in the mouth of the crane, and there is a wax core in the flower.

Hold it in your hand and weigh it, heavy and heavy, each at least three catties.

Selling it as scrap copper alone would cost dozens of dollars!

Looking at the workmanship, although it is a characteristic of the late Qing Dynasty, it cannot surpass Daoguang, and the vintage is not too cheap.

However, the two eyes of the crane are inlaid with materials, and it has a special shape of standing on one leg.

I knew that this must be a custom-made object specially made by the rich family for the old lady's birthday.

Especially Jackie Chan's matching couple, nothing is missing and nothing is missing.

Ning Weimin conservatively estimated that this pair of copper wax brazes should be worth [-] or [-] based on the whole copper piece.

This is still the official purchase price, and it is not impossible to sell it on the "ghost market" for three hundred.

To be honest, this thing mainly takes advantage of the cheapness of the material, who makes porcelain not so valuable these days.

The only pity is that this thing is made of brass, it would be even better if it was made of copper.

Ning Weimin felt so beautiful.

It was fate to find this treasure under the bed.

Since he was sure that this pair of things was enough to pass the master's test, he shouted like a villain and started to make public.

"Old man, come here quickly. See what good things I found?"

"Do you still remember the first two years when I went to the Dabei Kiln? At first, I made my fortune by relying on copper, and later I got a job by donating that bronze vessel. Now, I am fishing for this pair of brass crane lamps."

"Is this evil nature evil? What does it mean? It means that the fate of a person is destined by heaven. I will make a fortune for myself. I am afraid that I will be destined to be with bronze wares in my life! This is called auspicious people have their own heaven." Phase, the fortune carried in the womb."

Kang Shude let Ning Weimin speak wildly, even though he took the pair of wax sticks and looked at them carefully for a while, he really didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Finally finished watching it, and just murmured, "Look, it's beautiful for you. Tch, it's a blind cat meeting a dead mouse..."

Just put down things and continue to work on yourself.

Ning Weimin made a fuss, since he didn't have enough real skills to be confident, he didn't dare to provoke the old man again.

So I had no choice but to take the pair of crane wax drills and run outside the house to enjoy them by myself.

But things are still so desperate.

Just as he took two small puffs of smoke, looking at his initial gains, he pondered happily.

These two things seem to be very suitable to be placed in the "Altar Palace". In the future, they will be able to earn an additional five yuan in rent every month, when it is full.

Kang Shude in the room was also found in the wardrobe.
