Rebirth 1982 Be the stubborn master

Chapter 38: Taobao
When he got up early and took out the glazed vase to appreciate it for a while, Du Kang sighed in his heart, what a beautiful glazed vessel, it's a pity that outsiders don't know how to appreciate it, so he can only keep it for himself to admire secretly.

Forget it, go to the trust store to search for treasures, and see if there are any good goods in this ancient pawnshop and the current second-hand store.

After breakfast, Du Kang went straight to the trust store, found a place to park his bicycle and went in. Suddenly, men and women were wandering inside, picking out the items they needed.

These days, visiting trust stores is a hobby of many people, not for buying, but for shopping, and many people can find some good treasures from time to time.

Scanning to the shelves again, there are all kinds of porcelain, clothing, leather goods, gramophones, clocks, etc. on the shelves and counters. There are really many kinds, and there is no ticket.

Second-hand goods, whoever buys tickets.

I can come to the trust store because the goods here are cheap, and there is no ticket.

Du Kang was wandering inside and turned his head to see a vinyl record player.

In the movies of the period of the Republic of China, it is most common to see when dancing. There is a big speaker on the top and a projection device on the bottom.

When in use, the record is placed on the turntable and rotated under the stylus, and then a melodious singing voice flows out.

After staring at it for a while, Du Kang found that it should be from the Republic of China, and it was an early item, at least 50 years ago, but the appearance is still very complete.

It's not easy to see such a fine product.

"Comrade, is this still available?"

"It works."

"Can you try it?"

"Row."

Seeing that he really wanted to buy it, the waiter took out a vinyl record, put it on the turntable, put down the stylus, and as the record turned, melodious singing came from it.

Yes, I bought it.

It is a different kind of enjoyment to listen to music on this ancient vinyl record player at home.

Even though it is an ancient device, the sense of emptiness and presence cannot be replaced by later CDs.

After listening to the sharp and rough digital sound of vinyl records and CDs, it is simply unbearable.

There are a few snuff bottles next to them, which look simple and simple, and should be items from the Qing Dynasty.

Du Kang picked it up to check.

A snuff bottle is a container for snuff, small enough to be held by hand and easy to carry.

Now people's habit of using snuff is almost extinct, but the snuff bottle has been handed down as a kind of exquisite art, and it has been prosperous for a long time.

There are many more materials.

Red sapphire, coral, agate, amber, crystal, tourmaline, lapis lazuli, alexandrite, pearl and other rare treasures can all be the raw materials of snuff bottles, and then they are uniquely conceived and carefully carved by skilled craftsmen. It can be described as priceless.

He casually picked up one to check, it was emerald green like spinach, it looked more high-end.

Not bad, although his emerald is not the best, but it is also a slightly inferior spinach green.

"How did you sell this snuff bottle?"

"twelve."

"Where are those?"

The waiter gave him a blank look, turned his head and ignored him.

I'm buying something, do you need it?

Du Kang was puzzled.

Take it over and check it yourself, it is made of glass.

The glazed snuff bottle is also called material snuff bottle.

Because the Kangxi Dynasty invented a nesting process, which is to put other colors on the white background, one layer is called a single set, and multiple layers are called a stacked set.

This is a single layer of blue.

Looking at the painting again, it is an inner painting, and this method is not easy. It takes a small pen to slowly draw on the inner wall, which takes a lot of effort.

The workmanship is good, but the content shows that two young girls are dancing there, the point is that they have no clothes on.

Good guy, how can there be such a thing, it is too immoral, I have to take it back and criticize it, how will future generations feel about such behavior.

After making up his mind, Du Kang asked, "I want these, can I put them aside and pay the bill together after shopping?"

"Okay, I'll put it aside for now."

After speaking, he took the snuff bottle off the counter and put it aside.

Du Kang continued to wander around, not knowing whether his luck had run out or what, nothing could catch his eyes until he came to the place where the furniture was stored.

Just arrived here, a pair of Taishi chairs came into view.

This pair of grand master chairs has a large body, and the backrest and armrest are connected together to form a three-panel screen, which is solemn and rigorous, and is made of heavy materials.

Careful inspection did not indicate the age, but the Taishi chair was either Ming or Qing. From his point of view, it should be the Taishi chair of the Qing Dynasty. The material of red rosewood is not bad, not bad.

When asked about the price of [-], Du Kang almost went crazy. The Taishi chair in the Qing Dynasty was only sold for [-], and it was still made of red rosewood!
Buy, buy, buy, you must take it home.

Then look down, stools made of red sandalwood, boxes made of camphor, food boxes made of huanghuali, all kinds of exquisitely crafted and well-made furniture are piled up among them.

Against the background of some ordinary furniture, it is even more precious.

God so old is not super new, so many treasures, you tell me they are all second-hand goods, worthless, at this moment he can't wait to pack up the entire trust store.

After half a day of shopping, all the best of these furniture were selected, and Du Kang was ready to take home.

Even if he didn't use it, after decades, the price would still go up, and it would take him a while to sell just a few.

At the end of the selection, Du Kang saw an open cabinet.

This is composed of three parts: counter, drawer, and wardrobe. There are carvings all around the counter. The carvings are exquisite and gorgeous. There are two drawers under the counter. The wardrobe under the drawer is a two-door cabinet with raw lacquer decoration on it.

Also well preserved.

It's a pity that it's made of cypress, not a very precious wood.

Du Kang turned around and left. He has high eyesight now, and he doesn't look down on precious woods such as mahogany.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, returned to the Ming Cabinet, opened the drawer, and knocked.

Listening to the sound coming, there is a hidden compartment inside, and there should be something when listening to the sound.

The master craftsman of the trust store's appraising treasures is not good enough, and he couldn't even find the hidden compartment.

Buy it, go back and open it to see what treasures are hidden inside.

Looking at the items in his picture, there are more than a dozen items, Du Kang has no choice but to stop, he can't really evacuate the trust store, and there is no place to put it at home, he must wait for the courtyard house to be bought, and then buy if there is space to store it.

Ask the waiter to move the things he selected to the door, and Du Kang will pay there without blinking an eye.

Even if you spend hundreds of dollars at a time, you still feel that it is worth it, because even though these are second-hand goods, they will definitely be worth a lot in a few decades.

Seeing that he had picked too many things and couldn't take them away for a while, the waiter even instructed him to find a cart outside the door.

Discuss with the workers and take away the [-] cents.

Tsk tsk, the labor cost is really cheap enough.

After 40 years, not to mention sixty cents, people in the 60s don't take it seriously, at least two or three hundred.
