Chapter 208 Who is cheating who?

In this market, there are quite a few stalls selling copper coin swords. The cost of this thing is only one hundred and ten yuan, and the selling price is between three hundred and five hundred. Some fake copper coin swords made by welding are even more expensive. Low, you can buy it for 80 yuan.

So even with a copper coin sword, the boss of Mahou still has more than 1000 yuan in profit. If he really lets Feng Yongkang go, he will be kicked in the head by a donkey.

"Would you like to give it?" Feng Yongkang squinted at Mahou.

"Yes, yes, just treat it as a friend, you take this thing."

Boss Mahou nodded repeatedly, bent down to pick up the copper coin sword from the booth, and stuffed it into Feng Yongkang's hand, as if he was afraid that he would not want it.

"I said that you are not real. If you say you can't send it off, it will be over."

Feng Yongkang pursed his lips and looked at the copper coin sword in his hand. He was a little confused about Qin Feng's thoughts. Most of the copper coins on it were made in the Qing Dynasty and Northern Song Dynasty. They were circulated in large numbers and were not very valuable.

"Brother, I don't make any money at all with these three things, but I vomit blood and give them away for nothing." Boss Ma Hou habitually wanted to say a few words, but after seeing Feng Yongkang's gloomy face, he closed his mouth resentfully. .

"180 yuan for the snuff bottle, 700 yuan for the root carving of huanghuali, and 1680 yuan for the lacquer box, which adds up to [-] yuan!"

After knocking with a calculator, Mahou boss put the display screen of the calculator in front of Feng Yongkang, and said, "Will you all pay together, or separately?"

Feng Yongkang took out a stack of money from his pocket and cooked it, but it was only 500 yuan. Just now, Wei Hanfei and Zhu Kai gave Feng Yongkang both of their money.

"Huh? It's too much..." Feng Yongkang clapped the money in his hand and said, "Boss, I just took [-] yuan. Do you want to sell it or not?"

"This is already so much cheaper for you..."

Boss Mahou's face became longer and longer, and he said in embarrassment: "It's a small business, and the three items add up to earn you a few tens of dollars. This... I have to get rid of another hundred and fifty, I... ...I will lose money."

But anyone who does business understands a truth, that is, no matter how much money you earn from the other party, you can’t show it, so even though this business has earned more than 1000, the boss of Mahou still puts on a coffin that he lost his father. Board faces.

"You also know that my wallet was stolen just now, and there are only so many, so you can say whether you want it or not."

Feng Yongkang became a little impatient. He naturally knew how much these items were worth. If it weren't for what Qin Feng said before, he wouldn't be too lazy to argue with this profiteer.

"Little brother, the wallets of you and those brothers and sisters were stolen, but...but..."

Boss Ma Hou pointed to Qin Feng, Xie Xuan and Xin Nan, and said, "Their wallets haven't been stolen, right? You are all together. It's nothing to borrow one or two hundred yuan. I don't think these three are either." What a petty person."

It costs a total of 200 yuan to set up a stall in Panjiayuan for two days. The owner of Mahou is naturally unwilling to let go. He knows that young people like Qin Feng need to save face. If he says this, the other party will definitely pay.

Sure enough, before Boss Mahou finished speaking, the fat man with a round face and a simple and honest face took out 200 yuan and said, "Brother Feng, it's just 180 yuan short, I'll give it to you!"

Seeing Feng Yongkang hand over the money to Boss Mahou, Xie Xuan said with a smile: "Boss, the money is yours, and the things belong to us!"

"Of course, you guys take it well, buy it and leave it. If you bump into it, don't come back to me!"

After finding 20 yuan for Feng Yongkang, the owner of Mahou was very happy. Where is the carving made of huanghuali wood?The whole thing is a poplar tree root, and there are more than a dozen in the cargo box under his buttocks.

As for the lacquer box, it didn't come in from Jin Province, of course, but was bought at the small wholesale market in Lang City. The combined cost of the two items was less than 200 yuan, and the business was considered a big profit.

The stall owners next to him looked enviously at the owner of the horse monkey. Although they were booing and bluffing at the beginning, during the business process, no one said a word.

This is also the rule in the antique shop. After the customer wants to buy it, the peers can only brag about it, but not bid to suppress it. Otherwise, such a person will not be able to survive in Panjiayuan.

"Damn it, the whole thing is a profiteer!" Feng Yongkang couldn't help cursing after hearing what Mahou's boss said. His family was all in the antique business, so he naturally knew what Mahou meant.

"Qin Feng, what is the mystery of this copper coin sword? It's not as expensive as brass..."

Zhu Kai looked at Qin Feng with a puzzled expression. He also played with the copper coin sword just now, almost looking at it one by one, but he didn't find any clues.

Except that most of the ancient copper coins were knife coins before the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang changed the coins to this style with square hole copper coins in response to the saying that the sky is round and the earth is round.

There were no banknotes in ancient times, so when people went out to do business and visit relatives, they could only bring heavy bunches of copper coins with them.

Coiling copper coins around the waist is convenient for carrying and traveling, so the ancients called this "coiled" and "coiled" travel expenses "coiled".

Since the Qin Dynasty, dozens of dynasties have changed, and copper coins have always been circulated as coins. Over the past 2000 years, with the accumulation of the past dynasties, one can imagine how many copper coins have been issued in total?

Although each dynasty would melt the previous copper coins and recast them, in modern times, there are still a large number of copper coins left, and their value is not even as valuable as selling pure copper.

"Old Zhu, you didn't read carefully, did you? You can understand when I play a set of sword skills..."

Qin Feng smiled and took the copper coin sword from Zhu Kai's hand, walked out of a shop door four or five meters away from the booth, and waved it in his hand like a child.

"Qin Feng, are you still young? Are you practicing the Dugu Nine Swords or the Sunflower Book?"

Seeing Qin Feng's actions, Feng Yongkang and others couldn't laugh or cry, but before Zhu Kai could say anything, Qin Feng seemed to have missed his hand, and the copper coin sword fell to the ground with a "slap".

There are two ways to make copper coin swords. One is to use red silk thread or gold and silver thread to thread copper coins together to make a sword shape. This is a method inherited from ancient times.

In modern times, in order to pursue beauty, some people melt the corners of copper coins, weld the copper coins together, and then coat them with a layer of gold powder to make them look beautiful.

The copper coin sword that Qin Feng held in his hand was made by the first method, so it stands to reason that it is not afraid of falling.

However, the red string on this copper coin sword seems to have been around for many years. After this fall, it looked fine when it fell to the ground, but when Qin Feng lifted it up, the red string fell off, and the whole sword was still It is scattered.

"Hey, why are they scattered?"

Seeing that Qin Feng had scattered the copper coin sword, several people immediately surrounded him. Fortunately, when Qin Feng lifted the sword, it dispersed. It didn't fall from a high place, and the copper coin didn't roll everywhere. .

"Qin Feng, you said that you are not idle, you really want to go back with a pile of broken copper coins?"

Feng Yongkang squatted down and picked up the copper coins full of complaints. After all, they were bought with money, so they couldn't just throw them on the ground, right?
"Old Feng, where are there so many complaints?"

When Qin Feng's copper coin sword fell apart, his eyes were fixed on the few copper coins inside the double-layered sword body, and he grabbed those four or five copper coins in his hand almost as soon as the red rope was scattered.

"Here, let me show you what this is."

Qin Feng handed a copper coin full of copper rust to Feng Yongkang's hand with a smile on his face, and said: "You are also from a family of antiques. If you don't know this thing, I will despise you."

"Isn't it just a copper coin?"

Feng Yongkang rolled his eyes, and said arrogantly: "You underestimate my buddy, don't you? Let me tell you, I have seen seven or eight of the fifty ancient coins, and there are still two in my family. What about one?"

As a national coin, copper coins have always been the object of research in all dynasties. Although they have withdrawn from the historical stage of coin circulation in modern times, they still have high historical research value.

In [-], the country established the Ancient Coins Society, and a number of well-known experts and scholars in the study of ancient coins listed fifty of the most precious and rare ancient copper coins.

As long as the coins are listed among the top [-] treasures of ancient coins, almost all of them are worth a lot of money, and the cheapest one is more than [-] yuan. It is the copper coin that all coin collectors dream of.

"Hey, old Feng, take a look at this one." Qin Feng didn't speak, but looked at Feng Yongkang with a smile.

"The rust on this one is too bad?" Looking at the copper coin in his hand, Feng Yongkang couldn't help frowning.

The square hole of this copper coin is hardly blocked by rust, and the quality of the whole coin is extremely poor, and the words on the surface of the coin cannot be discerned. Feng Yongkang has no tools at hand, so he thought about putting the copper coin on Scratched a few times on the jeans.

"Huh? This coin looks like gilt?" The copper rust is only attached to the surface of the copper coin. After rubbing it on the rough jeans a few times, the surface of the coin is vaguely revealed.

"Old Feng, you grandma, be careful."

Qin Feng didn't have time to stop Feng Yongkang's actions just now, he was relieved to see that the copper coin was not damaged, grabbed the copper coin, pointed to the blurred words on it, and said: "Look carefully, I have no eyesight at all!"

This time not only Feng Yongkang, but also Xin Nan and others gathered around to read the words on the copper coins, but Xie Xuan was the closest, so he returned it first: "Brother Feng, I... I can see clearly, it seems , it seems to be the heaven... the treasure of the Tianrong Mansion, right?"

"Treasure of Tianrong Mansion? It seems that you have never heard of this kind of money?"

Xin Nan shook his head, and when he was about to speak, an archaeological excavation event suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help exclaiming in surprise: "Qin Feng, this... this copper coin, can't be the treasure of Tiance's government. Bar?"
