Baolu Tianxing

Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin also wandered around for a while. They were a little tired and wanted to find a place to rest their feet. Seeing the warm invitation from the shop owner, they immediately walked in without hesitation.

"Hehe, it's quite unique! It feels like going back to my childhood." After sitting down, Wu Chen praised first.

The shopkeeper said while making tea, "I am a person who likes to collect all kinds of gadgets since I was a child. I can do anything, but I haven't made a lot of money. Now I can't make a lot of money by opening this shop." , the right is to commemorate the time at that time, nostalgia."

"Actually, I did the same. When I was young, I collected a lot of things, such as broken wine bottles, broken boxes, etc.! The whole room was full of piles, and it was difficult to get off." Wu Chen continued, thinking of many old things. In the past, this is also the fun of collectors. Didn’t you tell the adults that what you collect is a period of time and mood.

"I can't tell, he's still a big collector! It should be worth the old man's money now, local tyrant!" Huang Xiaolin couldn't help teasing, glanced at him, and smiled secretly, this kid is different since he was a child, yes Genius or idiot.

"Hey, don't mention it! Those things were thrown away by my dad, and they filled several baskets!" Wu Chen said with a bit of distress, "I was beaten for it. What did you say? Playing with things, getting a bunch of worthless junk home all day long, ha ha."

"Hey, don't look at these things. They weren't worth much back then. In terms of real purchasing power, they weren't cheap either!" The shopkeeper made a gesture of asking for tea after he finished making the tea.

This is true. At that time, the whole society was short of money, and there was little currency in circulation.Brats like Wu Chen and the others don't have much money, even if they have been staring at a set of comic books for a few cents, they may not be able to buy a set.

Although he is poor now, why don't he just buy a comic book worth a few hundred yuan?This money is really worthless!At that time, the "[-]-yuan household" that everyone envied is now the cock of the cock, who can't even afford half a toilet seat!

"Money is really worthless. Even if the various sets of RMB in the past have been hidden until now, the rate of appreciation is still not as fast as the rate of inflation." Wu Chen sighed, and suddenly remembered that the second aunt's house had dug up ancient coins again. Is there anything valuable, it is best to have that rare treasure.

"Liangzi is right! However, if it is an ancient coin, there is still a lot of room for appreciation. Even if it is an old coin, there are some that are quite valuable, such as the 'Five Heavenly Kings' and 'Four Little Dragons', which are very popular now! Especially The 1986 version of the "Great Wall Coin" is the "King of Coins" among coins, and the price is comparable to monkey tickets. Now the market price of the full set of the 1986 version of the "Great Wall Coin" has soared to around 20 yuan."

Wu Chen was slightly shocked by the shop owner's words. He knew that there were people collecting coins, but he didn't expect this thing to be so expensive.He touched his head, smiled, and said a little annoyed, "If I knew I wouldn't buy snacks when I was a child, it would be nice to save them!"

Seeing his frustrated face, Huang Xiaolin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "In this world, there is no medicine for regret! Can you resist the temptation of oil residue fruit that costs two cents each?"

There was a grocery store in front of their primary school, and it was a paradise for children like them at that time. Every time after class, they were crowded with people.Especially the oil residue fruit that has just been fried is even more sought-after, and they are hailed as "life" by them!At that time, I only hated that there was no money in my pocket, and I was drooling around, why would I want to save money!

Wu Chen blushed after being exposed, and said, "Yes, captain, you are always a good student, and you never spend money recklessly when you were young, why don't you go back and look for it, and see if you can still find the piggy bank from when you were young?"

"Go, where is the money? I let you cheat me!" Wu Chen didn't mention it, but when the piggy bank was mentioned, Huang Xiaolin gritted her teeth again.At that time, Wu Chen and Da Ya didn't have much money, and spent all day trying to "sell" some new gadgets to their classmates. Girls like Huang Xiaolin who were stupid and had a lot of money were their important customers, and they were often fooled. ! !

"Not all coins are valuable." The shopkeeper was also quite talkative, and made another cup of tea. Seeing that Wu Chen was a little embarrassed, he smiled and greeted the two of them to drink tea, and continued to set up his Longmen formation, "Coin collection also has grades. .”

"Generally speaking, coins can be divided into two categories according to their processing: 'refined' coins and "common system" coins. "Refined" coins are mainly used for collection and gifting, and are not in circulation, which reflects what the coinage method at that time could achieve. The best coin face level. "General system" coins are used for circulation, thus forming 7 different grades from "uncirculated" to "inferior". Generally speaking, the really valuable coins are refined coins, while the circulating There is almost no collection value."

The shop owner paused for a moment, seeing that Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin were listening very carefully and didn't feel bored at all, he couldn't help but talk happily, and then said: "Take the 'Five Golden Flowers' as an example, there are also people called 'Five Heavenly Kings' , refers to the 1979 5-cent coins, the 1980 2-cent and 5-cent coins, and the 1981 1-cent and 5-cent coins.

The earliest aluminum coin was minted in 1955, and coins are still issued, although they are rarely used.From 1955 to the present, countless coins have been issued for decades, forming a collection market. In the field of coin collection, the "five golden flowers" have a high collection value and have always attracted the attention of collectors. The main reason is that they are rare.

"What exactly are the five golden flowers?" Wu Chen admired the owner for being able to memorize so many things. It is true that he has a specialty in art.

"Hehe, the coins in our country are produced according to the needs of circulation. If there is no shortage of coins of a certain denomination in a certain year, the coins of that year are often no longer produced. The denomination of "Five Golden Flowers" was not in circulation in the market at that time. There is a shortage, so there is no large-scale production and distribution. But the Mint still produced a small amount of coins, bound with coins of various denominations in the same year to become the "Annual Chinese Coin Set", which was given as a collection or sold to foreign guests. Therefore, these five coins are known as the five golden flowers in the coin collection".

The owner said here, shaking his head and said: "A lot of people don't understand it, they think that as long as the coins are of these years and denominations, they are golden flowers. The real "five golden flowers" are different from other coins in terms of appearance, denomination and texture. The cent coins of the same era are the same, but they are used as collectibles specially given to foreign guests, and they are not circulated in the domestic market! At present, most of the "five golden flowers" that can be seen in the coin collection market are returned from overseas, all in Inside the frame box, it is impossible to have scattered "five golden flowers" on the market!

After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper joked with a smile: "So, don't worry, little brother, you don't have to regret eating the golden flowers. Break the piggy bank at home or go to the coin market to find the possibility of "five golden flowers" Sex is zero."

Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin laughed out loud when they heard what the shopkeeper said was interesting. Wu Chen's thought of making a phone call just now to scold Da Ya's prodigal family disappeared. It seems that he has gained knowledge again today. He really heard about it for a while before. A few cents of the year's coins are worth money, so I searched through the box and chest to find them!

The two chatted with the owner for a while, and the three young people, both old and young, were immersed in the nostalgic atmosphere. Childhood memories can always make people happy, and perhaps this is also a major function of the collection itself.

Especially Huang Xiaolin, these years she has actually been a little lonely, she can't tell people about many things, even her girlfriends have to hide it, and the pressure in her heart is quite high. It's rare to let go of this kind of nonsense. As for being unfamiliar with this kind of atmosphere, it is very comfortable.

The three of them were chatting and laughing, when they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, they all hurried out to have a look.I saw a small shop door in the corner, surrounded by people, and I couldn't tell what was going on inside.

The owner of the shop is also a spectator, so he took the lead to walk over quickly, and the shop door was not closed!Seeing his excited expression, Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin looked at each other in blank dismay. Who are these people? How hungry are they for socializing!The two quickly followed suit, otherwise, if something was lost in the store, who would be responsible for it?

In that small shop, two black men were arguing around a middle-aged woman.The scene was a bit funny, the two blacks were not very good at Chinese, and under the excitement, [-]% of the sentence was in English, with one or two Chinese words popping up in between.The middle-aged woman is not good at Putonghua, and she turns into Hong Kong as she speaks. The three of them speak very fast, not to mention people outside, I am afraid that they themselves may not be able to understand what others are saying, but It doesn't matter, quarreling is all about momentum!

The shop was not very big. After entering the door, there was a large wooden board on each side, filled with some root carvings and copper products, leaving only a passage in the middle, and a counter next to the wall.

The three adults huddled in the aisle and quarreled, and they couldn't move.One of the black ghosts was even more anxious when he saw that he couldn't make sense. Their body language was already rich, but now they talked and gestured exaggeratedly, and accidentally swept the root carving to the ground.

The middle-aged woman was not a vegetarian either, so she took it for granted and immediately yelled: "The store is smashed! The nigger smashed the store~~"

"What are you doing! What are you doing!" A fat middle-aged man with a big belly bulged out of the quarrel, separated from the crowd and walked in, with an official voice, "Uh, ah, what's going on?" This is?!" Actually, when he heard the noise, he basically understood that it was probably the female shopkeeper who had fooled the two niggers, and the niggers turned around to find fault.This kind of thing is not uncommon, and it gives him a headache every time.

So he gets annoyed when he hears noise!Damn, what's the matter!He definitely wouldn't come if he didn't show up, but since he came, he had to deal with it. He pointed at the middle-aged woman and said, "Tell me, what's going on!"

"Director He!" Although the middle-aged woman was aggressive, she also made a living in this market. She was still a little afraid of the leader, and called out respectfully.But when I looked back and saw those two niggers, I was furious again, "Duqu old mother! Wu Lala ran into my shop to make trouble, smashed my shop, look, smashed all my things on the ground, hit the street …”

Hearing this super Hong Kong-style Mandarin made Wu Chen dizzy, then Director He waved his hand and stopped the proprietress, "Don't swear, speak well! Also, speak Hong Kong!"

"Yes, yes." The proprietress regained her breath and explained the reason angrily.Although the two niggers didn't understand Chinese very well, they also knew that the proprietress couldn't speak alone, even if they went to court, they would have to argue with both sides, so they chattered anxiously beside them, but the accent was really hard for people to understand.
