Reborn Leisurely Landlord

Chapter 75

Monkey tickets are also called Gengshen monkeys. The first set of monkey tickets was issued by China Post and Telecommunications in 1980.Its pattern was drawn by the famous painter Mr. Huang Yongyu.

The reason why Su Qingdai is so familiar with monkey tickets is that she went to Hong Kong with her boss to participate in an auction in 05. Among the auction items was the whole set of Gengshen monkeys, which sold 400 million yuan at that time. The sky-high price made stamps very popular overnight.

Su Qingdai also took the opportunity to search for some knowledge about monkey tickets on the Internet. Although she may not be able to use them all, she still has a little understanding.

At that time, many people took advantage of the postage craze to sell all kinds of monkey tickets in their hands, and many people were deceived because of this.Many people only saw the sky-high price of monkey stamps, but misunderstood the collection value of stamps.

In fact, the T46 version of the Gengshen Monkey is the only one that is really worth the money, and the later reprinted Zodiac Monkey ticket is not worth much.Under the blind hype, some people mistakenly believed the seller's words, and finally sold a whole set of worthless monkey tickets at a high price.

But the set that Su Qingdai is holding now is the authentic Gengshen monkey, not those reprints.So as soon as she saw the whole set of stamps, she couldn't bear to let it go.

But because of wandering around the city, Su Qingdai only had a few hundred dollars left with her.This inevitably made her feel embarrassed. She was absolutely reluctant to give up this stamp collection. If she missed this village, she would not have this shop. If it was bought by someone else, she would even cry to death.

"Do you have any money with you?" Su Qingdai held the stamp album in her hands and refused to put it down, turning her head to ask Zeng Tai and the other three.

"Do you really want to buy it?" Seeing that Su Qingdai was determined to buy the booklet, Yu Yang was a little anxious, wanting to stop Su Qingdai from doing stupid things.But where would Su Qingdai listen?
Seeing Su Qingdai's insistence, Wu Yu took out her wallet and took out three green one-hundred-yuan bills and handed them to her without saying a word. Su Qingdai was taken aback by that straightforward look.

That girl had quite a lot of money in her wallet, and she took so much money all at once.Su Qingdai's sharp eyes saw that there was still a stack of green in the girl's wallet, she hurriedly stuffed her wallet into the bag, and told her to look after it.

There are so many people in this antique street, and the law and order is chaotic, this girl just exposed the money like this, she really has to be careful for a while.

When Su Qingdai got the money, she hurriedly handed it to the peddler.The peddler was taken aback. He didn't expect that the kid wanted something that those people couldn't afford before.

Annoyed that he had lost his sight, he asked calculatingly: "Little girl, do you want this one? I have quite a few here. I think the one in your hand is the thinnest. I still have a lot of it here." There are many types of stamps with flowers, and they look much better than the set in your hand, do you want to buy them?"

Su Qingdai didn't know what the peddler was up to, but the peddler seemed to be a layman to judge the value of the stamp by its appearance.I just don't know where he got so many stamp albums.

Su Qingdai didn't look into it any more, and accepted it when she knew it was good.Paying the money with one hand and getting the goods with the other, the peddler happily stuffed the 300 yuan into his pocket.

Su Qingdai smiled treacherously in her heart, hey, if you knew that the stamps in my hand could sell for millions in the future, would you be so impatient?
Su Qingdai stuffed the stamp album she bought into the backpack she was carrying, and yelled at a few people to continue walking, but when she looked up, she saw that Yu Yang was very depressed, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Yu Yang, how about we make a bet?"

Yu Yang wondered, "What bet?"

Su Qingdai smiled happily: "Of course it's this stamp collection. I bet my stamp collection will sell 500 million in ten years."

"Cut—" Yu Yang sneered, as if mocking Su Qingdai's dream.Even Wu Yu and Zeng Tai laughed heartily, Su Qingdai didn't care, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she pulled Wu Yu and walked forward.

Before he had gone far, he saw a few people approaching aggressively in front of him. The one at the front was a woman who seemed to be in a hurry, looking around while walking.Su Qingdai's heart shuddered, and she pulled Wu Yu out of the way.

The woman rushed towards the peddler who sold the stamps before, and the peddler was alert enough. When he raised his eyes and saw the woman, he reacted almost in a few tenths of a second.

Su Qingdai's eyes widened as she watched the peddler roll up the four corners of the oilcloth stall on the ground with lightning speed, and ran towards the alley where Su Qingdai and the others came.That speed stunned Su Qingdai.Rely on, this speed is faster than Liu Xiang.

When the woman saw the scud running away, she was immediately angry and ordered the people behind her to chase him.

Zeng Tai and Yu Yang didn't pay much attention to what happened behind them, but Su Qingdai could hear clearly. The woman ran away cursing: "That bastard! That's the old man's painstaking efforts for decades, I'm afraid I will be defeated by this prodigal son Finished!"

Su Qingdai's heart moved, she already guessed that the peddler might have stolen something from the old man to sell, and was chased out by this woman.No wonder the peddler was flustered and eager to sell these things.One can tell at a glance that he came to this antique street to play the autumn wind, otherwise why has no one found such a good thing?
Thinking of this, Su Qingdai was both excited and annoyed. The excitement was because she was afraid that she would really make money this time. The booklet in her backpack must be a treasure; the annoyance was that she took too little money when she went out, otherwise Will definitely buy more copies.

Alas, greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, Su Qingdai sighed in her heart, and stopped thinking about it, and walked forward with Wu Yu.

A few people walked carefully and quickly to a corner of the antique street, but they still couldn't find Jin Xiaoxiao.Su Qingdai was feeling strange when she heard a sigh from an antique shop next to her.

"Oh, it's green, it's green—"

Su Qingdai looked into the store following the sound, and saw a group of people surrounding the store, and from time to time there were sharp rustling sounds of electric wheels coming out.That thin and tall girl who jumped out of the outside and tried to look in, who is it not Jin Xiaoxiao?
"Little Jinzi, what are you doing in this store?" Yu Yang and Zeng Tai also saw Jin Xiaoxiao, walked into the store quickly, patted Jin Xiaoxiao on the shoulder, and asked loudly.

Jin Xiaoxiao was a little nervous all of a sudden, and looked solemnly at the few people around the store, seeing that those people didn't respond, as if they didn't pay attention to what was going on here.Only then did she feel relieved, raised an index finger to press her lips, and made a silent gesture: "Shh——"

Su Qingdai observed outside the store for a long time before she was sure, feeling a little pleasantly surprised, she walked into the store calmly.Sure enough, the group of people were surrounding a stone cutter. The person standing in the center held a stone weighing about four to five kilograms and slowly cut it open. fresh green.

The people around started shouting prices.

"Old Zhong, I'll give you [-] yuan for this stone, so you can sell it."

"I offer [-]..."

"One hundred thousand, Lao Zhong, it's fine if there is jade in your stone, but if there is no jade, you will have to pay for it!"

The old clock seemed to have expected that someone would ask for a price, and with a smile on his serious face, he clasped his fists and said, "Oh, everyone, please stop shouting, as I have already said, I will not sell this stone. This is intended to be a jade lock for my grandson, and I don't intend to sell it."

Seeing Lao Zhong's insistence, those people stopped talking one after another, but their eyes were still fixed on the stone in the old Zhong's hand.

"What are they doing?"

Seeing that those people were all nervous, while the person in the middle had a dignified expression. The most outrageous thing was that the person was cutting a stone while holding a stone in his hand. Wu Yu was very puzzled and couldn't help asking in a low voice. .

Su Qingdai raised her finger and pointed to the signboard outside the store, and said softly: "Didn't you see that plaque? This place is called Baocui Pavilion. Since it is called Baocui Pavilion, it means that this store sells jewelry and emeralds. La."

"Then why are they cutting stones around that person?" Wu Yu felt a little puzzled and couldn't help asking.

Seeing that the green jade hadn't been cut out yet, Jin Xiaoxiao was also a little absent-minded, so she couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Wu Yu, do you know where the jade came from?"

Wu Yu shook his head: "Isn't it produced by the gem company?"

Jin Xiaoxiao almost rolled her eyes: "Stupid, thank you for studying so many books, since jade is called a stone, it is naturally formed in the rock! Look at the stone that the man is holding, tell you, the jade is hidden in those In the stone."

"So beautiful jade is hidden in this stone?"

Wu Yu's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked curiously at the stone cutter.

I saw the stone interpreter drew a line on the stone with a pen, and then pushed the stone towards the grinding wheel.The white stones fell to the ground one by one, but the stones were white, and the greenness before was gone.

"Oh, it's broken! It's a pity that it's based on skin green! If you just sold it, Lao Zhong, you'd have gotten 10 yuan! Now, your little fur green can only be used as a noodle, and I want to give it to you It’s no good for a grandson to be a jade locker!”

The onlookers were disappointed when they saw that it was actually the stone, but most of them were secretly glad that they didn't lose money if they didn't buy the stone.This stone betting is often such an instant thing.Instant riches, instant bankruptcy.

The old Zhong was also very disappointed when he saw the face of the white flowers. He missed the 10 yuan in such an instant. Anyone would be heartbroken, right?Fortunately, the old man's psychological quality is very strong, he only felt sad for a while, and then handed over the remaining stone to the guy beside him: "Cut the rest for me."

His stone was cut according to the belt of the python, and there was no jade at the end that was most likely to produce emerald, so he had no hope.

That guy was different. He had seen many stone cutters who were discouraged after cutting half of the stone, but after the other half shot, they actually cut out a tall green person.

The remaining two-thirds of the stone was in his hands, and he was still cutting slowly, thin slices, his expression remained unchanged, and the movements of his hands gradually became more proficient.
