Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 448 Receive good things
Gao Mingcheng found Wang Xiuxiu. He gave Wang Xiuxiu 500 yuan and asked Wang Xiuxiu to go back to Xiaowang Village to collect old things.

Gao Mingcheng said: "There should be a lot of inkstones and ink ingots in your village, right? I plan to collect a batch of goods. You are from the village and know the situation in the village, so I ask you to collect them for me. Afterwards, I will give you a certain percentage of the benefits."

"I have a price list here. Take a look at it first, and then buy it at the price. If it's in good condition, you can pay a few dollars more. If it's in average condition, you can buy it back at a low price."

Gao Mingcheng handed Wang Xiuxiu a list with a list of items to be purchased and the purchase price.

Gao Mingcheng had considered this purchase price and it was suitable for the local price situation.

Moreover, if you want to do this business, the price should not be too high, otherwise it will arouse people's suspicion and make it difficult to close the deal.

After Wang Xiuxiu read the list, she immediately said: "I have two inkstones and ten ink sticks at home! These things were left by our ancestors. My father said that in order not to lose them, he dug a hole in the house. It’s been buried for several years.”

"In addition to this, there is also a pair of ceramic paperweights in the shape of a pair of deers. My father said that there was actually a toad-shaped one, but it was accidentally broken by my brother when he was five years old."

"In addition, I also have a very beautiful ceramic jar at home. My mother likes to use it to store prunes. As soon as you open the lid, there is a wonderful aroma."

Seeing Wang Xiuxiu getting more and more excited as she talked, Gao Mingcheng coughed twice.

"Ahem... this... I won't accept your things. Let your parents keep them and don't sell them to anyone who wants to buy them. Do you understand?"

They are all his relatives, and Gao Mingcheng doesn't want to accept other people's things at a low price now, only to have people scold him behind his back afterwards, thus affecting the brotherhood between him and Ming Wan.

Wang Xiuxiu blinked and asked in surprise: "Will this thing...be valuable in the future?"

Gao Mingcheng said vaguely: "I don't know, who knows. In short, you also know how to distinguish the good from bad of these things, so just give me a run!"

Wang Xiuxiu didn't hesitate and nodded directly in agreement: "Okay! Then I will go back to my parents' house tomorrow. After I put the things away, I will send them to the clothing store."

"Okay, you can just give the things to your second sister-in-law. I have to go out to collect things recently, and they may not all be at home. As for the money, you keep an account, and you can make up for the excess when the time comes."

"it is good."

After making an agreement with Wang Xiuxiu, Gao Mingcheng drove his tractor and went to several villages near Gaojia Village to collect things.

Compared with people in the county, people in the village are undoubtedly more simple.

Many times, the most profitable business is poor information.

Gao Mingcheng knew what things were valuable, but most people didn't know which things were valuable. So when Gao Mingcheng took the money and said he wanted to collect a batch of old things, everyone not only had no doubts, but happily bought them. Everything in the house was sold for money.

People in the village have limited ways to make money, so when faced with some opportunities, it is easy to take the bait.

The reason why we start with a few villages near Gaojiacun is that Gao Mingcheng is most familiar with the nearby ten miles and eight villages, and his reputation is quite good in these places, so he can accurately find people who have good things. , and people are willing to sell things to him because they trust him.

After being so busy for half a month, Gao Mingcheng received a large number of antiques, mainly porcelain and coins. Their place is adjacent to Jingdezhen, and there are several small porcelain kilns nearby, so there are really a lot of porcelain.

Looking at the porcelain jar that he received, Gao Mingcheng looked very excited!
These porcelain jars, no matter they are from the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, no matter whether their shapes are gorgeous or simple, they all have only one destination now - to hold pickles!
So after opening the lid, there is a smell of pickles.

There is a piece of pastel porcelain from the Qing Dynasty that was actually used to hold tempeh!

That taste is amazing!Gao Mingcheng caressed the pastel porcelain with care, looking at it as he looked at his wife and children.

Duo Mei sat next to Xiao Xuxu with her arms in her arms, her eyes staring at the things on the floor. It was the first time for her to see so many antiques.

Her breathing was slightly rapid, and she asked in a low voice: "Mingcheng, how much are these things worth?"

Gao Mingcheng pointed to the pile of things and said, "You can earn five or six times from these!"

Then, he pointed at the pastel porcelain with a cautious expression, suppressing his excitement and said: "I won't sell this pastel porcelain, I want to keep it for myself. In ten years, it will sell for more than one million !”

Many beauties gasped in shock, their eyes widened, and their faces were full of disbelief: "More than a million? Oh my god..."

Gao Mingcheng picked up the pastel porcelain and looked at it carefully under the light.

In the antique business, he is considered a dabbler, he knows a little but not much.However, his knowledge was enough to defeat the illiterate villagers who knew nothing.

At the bottom of this pastel porcelain, there is a two-line four-character inscription "Qianlong Year System" in blue and white seal script.

The base of porcelain is an important symbol to identify the age of porcelain.

Therefore, Gao Mingcheng only needs to understand the four words "Qianlong Year System" to be sure that this is porcelain from the Qianlong period.

The so-called pastel porcelain is a color porcelain created and fired by the Qing court in addition to enamel porcelain.Apply arsenic-containing foundation on the fired glaze, apply the pigment and wash it off with a pen. Due to the emulsification effect of arsenic, the color will have a powdering effect, thus creating pastel porcelain.

However, throughout the dynasties, there have been some imitations. For example, during the Republic of China, there was also a batch of pastel porcelain on the market. The original version has the characteristics of the Republic of China, but imitations require the sharp eyes of appraisers to identify them.

Gao Mingcheng stared at the four-letter mark, guessing whether it was genuine or A-grade, but no matter what it was, with the appearance of this pastel porcelain, he would definitely be able to earn a fortune if he kept it for more than ten years. Pen!
In addition to this pastel porcelain, he picked through the coins and selected a few that were in good condition.Then he selected a few items from a pile of inkstones and ink sticks.

Then he sorted the things on the ground and put them away.

As for the ones I just selected, I put them in a special cabinet.

Gao Mingcheng said to Duo Mei: "These things are what I want to keep. If I am short of money in the future, I will sell them. If I am not short of money, I will treat them as family heirlooms."

Many Mei didn't understand much, but it didn't stop her from nodding obediently, full of hope for the future.

Gao Mingcheng stretched and said: "I'm tired. I'm going to bed. I have to go to Xiaogang Town to collect things tomorrow. How beautiful. You can buy some cheaper broken tea leaves tomorrow and put in those porcelains. Come in and remove the smell inside."

Duo Mei nodded in agreement and saw that Gao Mingcheng was tired and wanted to sleep, but Xiao Xuxu in his arms was unusually troubled and refused to sleep, so he took Xiao Xuxu to Gao Shufang's room to talk to Gao Shufang. No need to disturb Gao Mingcheng's sleep.

After Gao Mingcheng lay down, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

During this period of time, he was driving a tractor around. Even though he was in good physical condition, he was very tired.

He planned to collect goods from one more village and town, and then go to Yangcheng to sell the goods in his hand to make money.

Gao Mingcheng fell into a deeper sleep while making plans and arrangements for the future.
