Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 196: You accept this, you name the price
This family's house has a large yard. This is very common in the countryside, where there is a lot of land.

There are four rooms in the house, two of which are one-story old houses with blue bricks and tiles in a herringbone shape.

The two rooms next to each other have three floors. The top floor is covered with red machine tiles, but the third floor is not high and should be used for heat insulation and waterproofing.

There is a pomegranate tree, a grape vine, a persimmon tree, and some flowers and plants planted in the yard.

There are fruits hanging on the pomegranate and persimmon trees.

There is a large stone roller, a water tank, two stone millstones, and a long manger on the ground.

The kitchen, toilet, and pigsty are all in the yard.

"Boss Wu, let me introduce you first. This is Boss Liang. The house here belongs to him."

Seeing him coming over, Tian Xinming greeted him.

Boss Liang looks about the same age as Tian Xinming, also around 40 years old.

"Hello there!"

"Hello there!"

The two greeted each other.

When Wu Yuansheng greeted them, he took out a cigarette and gave one to each of them.

A few people chatted briefly. Boss Tian said that it was already 10:30 and it was getting late. They walked into an old house and started to look at the things that Boss Liang wanted to sell.

Perhaps because he was afraid of wasting time, while Tian Xinming was waiting for him to come over, he had already asked Boss Liang to prepare everything he wanted to sell in advance!
There were a lot of things on the ground at this time, and the first thing he saw were some bricks, about 20 in total.

The bricks are basically from the Han Dynasty, and most of them feature "fish, birds, humans, and beasts" on the side, and the pictures are very simple.

There are three bricks on the front, one with a pattern of carriages and horses, one with a crane, and one with complex geometric patterns.

These bricks looked like they had been at home for many years. They were not just picked up from the dirt, they were probably found together.

Next to the bricks are a pile of ancient porcelain pieces and two stone locks of about the same size.

There are a lot of porcelain pieces, at least dozens of kilograms in size, which can fit into a snakeskin bag.

The stone lock is made of bluestone and has a long lock shape. It looks like it dates back to the Republic of China at least.

He picked one up and tried the weight. It was about 40 kilograms.

I looked at the other items, including the purple sand basin "Nian Nian Yue", a wall clock with the word "囍", an old hookah, two bowls, a "huzi", a copper ladle, three plates, and a copper basin. A porcelain bust of a great man and a large kettle with handles.

There are also common items such as an abacus, two kerosene lamps, and a horse lantern.

"Boss Liang, how much does a brick cost?"

He asked after looking at the items placed on the ground.

In fact, there are three or four bricks with simple geometric patterns among these bricks, which are not of much value. The other valuable ones, which are in good condition, only cost about 13 bricks.

"If you accept this, you can tell us a price, but we don't understand the market!"

Boss Liang didn't negotiate the price, he let Wu Yuansheng do the talking.

"In this way, your bricks, excluding a few unsightly ones and incomplete ones, are only about 10 bricks complete. The current market price is 50 yuan per brick. With these bricks together, I will give you 650 yuan. How about ?”

He thought about it for a while and said that Han Dynasty bricks are relatively simple, and most of them are not as refined and beautiful as those in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

"If you add a little more, please give me 700 yuan!"

An additional 50 yuan was not much, so he agreed.

In addition, he also explained to Boss Liang that he could go to some antique stores to inquire about the current price of bricks. He bought them at the market price and did not undercut his price.In the current antique market, the price of bricks is indeed not high, and many people don’t want bricks.

"Boss Liang, these bricks don't look like they were acquired recently, and those ancient porcelain pieces. Does anyone in your family like to collect them?"

Ordinarily, most people would not want bricks like this. If the bricks have been kept at home for so long, someone must have found them valuable and wanted to collect them.

"My father used to work as a temporary worker in the archaeological team. He went out to play and picked up things in his spare time. He is the only one in the family who has this hobby, but he doesn't really like it!"

This makes sense. When I went out for a walk, I happened to encounter bricks and ancient porcelain pieces. It was normal to pick some up and bring them back.

Those porcelain pieces, coarse porcelain and fine porcelain, blue and white porcelain, monochromatic porcelain, etc. were mixed together. It seems that Boss Liang's father picked these up like Mr. Shi, who picked up all kinds of porcelain.

When Wu Yuansheng asked how much the porcelain tiles cost, Boss Liang still asked him to negotiate the price.

For these, he gave 150 yuan.

Two stone locks, 200 yuan.

The surface of the purple sand basin is printed with patterns of rice, corn, fish, lotus and lotus seeds, and the four words "more than enough every year" are written in four diamond-shaped borders in a circle.

This jar is made of purple sand and has a nice pattern. It costs 100 yuan.

"囍" wall clock, 50 yuan.

The old hookah was made of white copper during the Republic of China. It has a flat cylindrical bottom and a long curved pole. It is plain and has no patterns. This is very common. The price they negotiated was 150 yuan.

There are two bowls, one is made of coarse porcelain with a flower pattern, and it seems to be from the Qing Dynasty. There is a "tofu pattern" on the bottom of the bowl. There are many bowls of this kind of coarse porcelain, and they are not very valuable.

The other one is made of black pottery, which is also more common.

Two bowls, 50 yuan together.

"Huzi" is a chamber pot made of yellow glazed ceramics, with a large and long mouth, a round belly and a copper coin pattern printed on the surface.

This object should date back to the Republic of China period. The price they discussed was 100 yuan.

Both the copper ladle and the copper basin are plain, and both cost 200 yuan.

When Wu Yuansheng bought these two items, he asked him why he didn't keep them for use.

Boss Liang said that now everyone uses plastic ladles and basins at home, who still uses these.

He thought about it, and estimated that in a few years, many things would only be visible in folk museums, the homes of those who collect them, or in shops in antique cities.

The porcelain statue of the great man is made of white porcelain and is about 25 centimeters high. On the surface of the porcelain statue are the words "Wish XX

At that time, many work units or people of certain status had porcelain statues like this in their homes.

Two of the three plates are the same, with a big carp painted on them, and the other one is a lotus flower, which is also an item from a folk kiln. The three of them cost 200 yuan together.

There are flowers painted on the handle pot, which look like camellias. There are two painted back to back, one is in full bloom, it’s huge!The other one is smaller and is a flower bone flower.

This teapot looks to be from the 60s and 50s, so it’s not special. The price they negotiated was [-] yuan.

Abacus, kerosene lamp, horse lantern, all cost 50 yuan.

"Boss Wu, I still have some copper coins and copper plates here. Food stamps and old coins are not kept here. I'll get them for you to take a look at!"

When they discussed the prices of the items placed on the ground and Wu Yuansheng paid, Boss Liang said to him again.

He spent a total of 2150 yuan on these things just now.
