Siheyuan: I am Liu Guangqi

"No problem, just drink with confidence"

Looking at Liu Guangqi's sincere eyes, the innocent Wang Dongfang was still fooled. He picked up the bean juice and took a sip. After he had a little recollection, his eyes widened immediately, and he spit out the bean juice in his mouth.

"What is this? You can drink this stuff. It's like rancid pot water. It smells wrong to me. You still let me drink it. Aren't you cheating?"

Hahaha

Looking at Wang Dongfang who was disgusted, Liu Guangqi, who had succeeded in his mischief, covered his stomach and laughed loudly. Wang Dongfang's appearance was exactly the same as when he was tricked by old man Bai into drinking this stuff.

When he finished laughing and was about to explain to Wang Dongfang that the soy sauce tastes like this, an old BJ beside him was not happy, and looked at Wang Dongfang with raised eyebrows and taught him a lesson.

"What is rotten pot water? What do you know? You dare to talk nonsense. This is serious soy milk. It's the best of BJ's. If you don't know how to drink it, don't drink it. You old fool"

"Sorry, it's my first time drinking."

Looking at the domineering old BJ native, Wang Dongfang, who didn't want to cause trouble, quickly apologized.

"Why are you apologizing to him, are you right? The taste of this stuff is really weird. It doesn't taste good in the mouths of people who don't like it, but it's just nonsense when it comes to your mouth. Also, what's called Tu Laomao? It's great to be able to drink soybean juice. I can look down on people just because I'm a BJ person. Let me tell you, I'm also a true BJ person. What if I said it's not good?"

Wang Dongfang was afraid of this old man, but Liu Guangqi was not, so he pushed back directly.

"What annoys me the most is you people who are open-mouthed and closed-mouthed. If this thing is really delicious, why can't it get out of BJ City, let alone the appearance, the smell of stinky tofu is worse than this It’s so big, it’s still sold all over the country. In the final analysis, the taste is too weird, just like Shanxi’s brains, it can only be sold locally.”

Looking at the old man who was very angry with him, Liu Guangqi continued.

"Don't be convinced, let me tell you the truth, our old BJ has no food at all. The so-called one and two are all boasted by you people. The real food is what everyone thinks is good, not you. Self-proclaimed."

"Let's go, Dongfang, I'll take you to eat the belly, that's delicious."

After saying these words, Liu Guangqi dragged Wang Dongfang to leave the small stall. If he didn't leave again, he was afraid that the old man would hit himself with a stick if he got angry.

Soon Liu Guangqi brought Wang Dongfang to a small stall for buying fried belly. This place was also tasted very good that Mr. Bai brought him here.

"Let's go, just right here is Liulichang. I'll take you in to see it. You won't be able to see it until the public-private partnership is completed in January next year."

After dinner, Liu Guangqi took Wang Dongfang to Liulichang. The old BJ is so big that he can't go shopping. It happened that he couldn't understand some things in his hand, so he needed to consult the experts in the industry.

....

"This place is so lively, even more lively than the Daji in our village."

As soon as he entered Liulichang, Wang Dongfang was shocked by the small stalls on both sides of the road.

"It's still lively, and there are not many people. If this was put before liberation, it would be even more lively."

Liu Guangqi curled his lips, very dissatisfied with not being able to witness Liulichang's peak moment.

"Hey, what's the matter with you, Doctor Liu, you are a distinguished guest."

Without staying too long on the street, Liu Guangqi took Wang Dongfang straight to Shopkeeper Liu's shop.If you want to hang out and wait until you are busy with business, you have time to hang out

"What kind of distinguished guest? Bad guest is about the same. How is the business recently, shopkeeper Liu."

Liu Guangqi smiled and cupped his hands at Shopkeeper Liu.

"Business? Don't mention it, there is no business. Look at this street for yourself, there is no one there. If no one took over, I would have wanted to sell this shop a long time ago."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled wryly upon hearing this.

"That shows that you have a strong foundation. There are so many good things in this store, even if others want to buy them, they are powerless."

[In view of the general environment,

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Are you coming to me today to sell or buy? If you buy it, it's easy to talk about. If you sell it, then I have to say sorry to you. I'm afraid I can't get any good things because I don't have enough money in my account. I'll pay you here first."

As he spoke, shopkeeper Liu cupped his hands at Liu Guangqi again.

"You're too polite. I'm here to give you money. There are a few things I don't understand. I want you to help me."

"There are also things that you can't understand. That's really strange. Your eyesight is one of the best in our industry. But you, shopkeeper Tong and shopkeeper Lan can't see things. I'm afraid it's because of your powerlessness."

Shopkeeper Liu said apologetically

"You are too polite. My masters looked at these two things but they couldn't hold them, because they are not experts in this field. They all said that even if they combined together, they could not compare with you, Shopkeeper Liu, so I came to you."

"The two shopkeepers are really flattering me. You have found Gu Zhen. It is something that the three of you can't understand. Then I have to give it a good hug."

Shopkeeper Liu understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. He is not top-notch in other aspects of Liulichang, but only in the aspect of ancient coins.

"Then trouble you"

After speaking, Liu Guangqi took out Daqi Tongbao and Zhangzhou military use from his arms and put them on the table.

"This is!?"

"That's right, it's Daqi Tongbao. I removed it from a wooden box. I was stunned when I saw this copper coin. I showed it to my master and the others, but they didn't dare to say the truth lightly." Fake, so I can only find you"

When he saw the Zhangzhou military use, although shopkeeper Liu was a little surprised, he still remained calm, but after seeing the big Qi Tongbao, he couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up after a while , two eyes were almost glued to the big Qi Tong Bao.

....

"You two wait a moment"

After briefly confirming that the copper coin in front of him was not an ordinary fake, shopkeeper Liu greeted Liu Guangqi and Wang Dongfang, and quickly found a magnifying glass, a book and a wooden box from his counter.

After returning to his seat, shopkeeper Liu first opened the book, then took out a few copper coins from the box, then picked up a magnifying glass and copper coins to compare with the rubbings on the book, and after confirming that the pattern was correct, shopkeeper Liu took out another copper coin and beat it on the table.Liu Guangqi glanced at it, and saw that it was a Great Tang Tongbao from the Southern Tang Dynasty. It seemed that shopkeeper Liu believed that this Daqi Tongbao belonged to Xu Zhigao.Otherwise, I would not have done this, because the Great Tang Tongbao was minted after Xu Zhigao changed his name and surname, and turned Daqi into the Southern Tang Dynasty. If the Daqi Tongbao was also minted by Xu Zhigao, the difference between the two copper coins would definitely not be very large, and the fact is the same, given that the year is so close and the emperors are the same person.

After listening to the sound of the two coins falling to the ground and confirming that the casting composition was consistent, shopkeeper Liu carefully checked the coating of the copper coins, and then used some techniques that Liu Guangqi could not understand.

"How about it?"

After a lot of busy work, shopkeeper Liu finally put down the things in his hands.Seeing this, Liu Guangqi immediately sat up straight, stretched his head and asked, if the copper coin is real, then he will make a lot of money.

"Good thing, according to my judgment, this should be a Daqi Tongbao from the Five Dynasties period. Doctor Liu, you have made a lot of money this time. If the news spreads, the threshold of your family may be trampled down. , this thing can be worth 5 yuan at least. I never thought that I would see Daqi Tongbao again in my lifetime, and it is such a complete Daqi Tongbao. I will be worth it in my life."

"Great, I knew it was true."

Although he had a hunch in his heart, Liu Guangqi couldn't help cheering after receiving the affirmative answer from Shopkeeper Liu.

"Boss, you are not mistaken, such a big thing is worth 5 yuan."

Wang Dongfang, who was following along to join in the fun, was dumbfounded when he heard the price quoted by shopkeeper Liu. After a long pause, he asked incredulously.

"This thing is not sold according to size. Don't look at this copper coin as small. It is an old object more than 1000 years ago, and there are only two of them in the world, and the other one is still a scrap. Can you say it is not expensive?"

"Crooked sun he got it"

After listening to shopkeeper Liu's explanation, Wang Dongfang slumped down on the ground in a strange way.Then he asked a question out of nowhere.

"Things that are more than 1000 years old are so valuable, how much are things that are more than 2000 years old!"

"More than 2000 years, at least it is from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. If it is a bronze ware, the cheapest can be worth 30 to 50 yuan. If there is an inscription on it, it will be even more terrible. One word adds [-] yuan. Doctor Liu I once got a bronze square statue, which is a national treasure. At that time, they paid [-] oceans, and now it costs at least [-] to start.”

"50"

Hearing the price, Wang Dongfang slid off the chair directly.

"What's the matter with you, as for?"

Seeing Wang Dongfang's abnormal behavior, Liu Guangqi expressed concern.

"It's okay, it's okay"

Wang Dongfang squeezed out a forced smile and did it again.

"What about this thing, it looks like a silver dollar to me, but it doesn't feel like it."

Because there was one more item to be appraised, Liu Guangqi didn't pay too much attention to Wang Dongfang's anomaly, and turned around to ask shopkeeper Liu about the Zhangzhou military coin.

296 chapter

"You are so lucky, this thing is also a good thing. I have only received one of this thing after so many years. It is still a cripple, and its appearance is not comparable to yours at all."

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the Zhangzhou military use in Liu Guangqi's hand and said enviously.

"Really? Then you have to tell me well, let me increase my knowledge, the one that can catch your eyes must be extraordinary."

Liu Guangqi complimented.

"There have always been different opinions about the origin of this kind of thing in the antique industry, but there are three main theories, the same as the big Qi Tongbao just now. One is that in the late Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong cast it during the third to sixth year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty in order to resist the Qing Dynasty.

These three statements have their own basis. Let me talk about the first one first. From December 1651 to November 12, that is, from the fifth to eighth years of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong fought three times in three years and successfully completed the battle. The Zhangzhou area was seized by the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Chenggong’s father, Zheng Zhilong, was a maritime merchant before he started his family. He was also the leader of a maritime smuggling group at that time. He was economically savvy. Because of frequent foreign trade, there were a lot of foreign silver coins in Fujian at that time. Zheng Chenggong saw more silver coins. , his horizons were broadened, so it was reasonable for him to start trying to cast silver dollars for military pay. The inscriptions on it can also be interpreted as "the country's surname is Damu" and "Zhu Chenggong.

The second theory is that the money was minted by the local government of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, and the signature was interpreted as "inaction" and "success". After the invasion, they were plundered and plundered, and Zhangzhou's military pay was robbed, so it quickly disappeared from the circulation circle.

The third theory is that from 1864 to 1865, Li Shixian, the servant king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, led his troops to occupy Zhangzhou and establish a political power.

These silver coins were minted when Zeng Guoquan and Zuo Zongtang led the Hunan Army to fight in Fujian, and the signatures were interpreted as "Zeng Sign" and "Zuo Sign".The reason why these silver coins are called "military pay" is that the fiscal expenditure of the Qing Dynasty was mainly military expenditure, and it accounted for about 70.00% of the country's income after the Revolutionary War.

These three arguments can be described as fair and axiomatic, and they are justified, and no one can convince anyone, but this does not affect the value and status of this silver coin. If it was minted by Zheng Chenggong, it would be the first silver coin in Chinese history. "

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the Zhangzhou military equipment in his hand and told about its history.

"It's really teachable. Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books."

Liu Guangqi didn't expect to have such a big background in picking up a cup of silver coins at random.

"Hahaha, thank you for the prize. I just read a few more books on this subject. In other respects, I may not be as good as you. Doctor Liu, I like this thing very much. I don't know if you can do it." I can't bear to part with you, you can rest assured that I will not treat you badly for the price."

Shopkeeper Liu said very politely and modestly, and then changed the subject, planning to buy the silver coin from Liu Guangqi.In fact, he also wanted Daqi Tongbao, but he didn't have that much money at all, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

....

"I'm really sorry, shopkeeper Liu. After these two items, I also became interested in ancient treasures, so I plan to collect these two items for myself. Moreover, I plan to buy some books on ancient treasures from you, so that I won't be blinded when I encounter good things in the future."

"That's really a pity, just wait a moment, I'll get you something now."

Unable to get what he wanted, shopkeeper Liu shook his head regretfully, then got up and picked a few books from the shelf and put them in front of Liu Guangqi.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Liu. You accept the money."

After receiving the book, Liu Guangqi took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it over.

"You are so kind, you have used so much in a few books."

"Not only the book money, but also the money that troubles you. Just accept it."

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

Shopkeeper Liu accepted the money after being polite for a few moments. Life is hard now, and the landlord's family has no food left.

"Hey, what's the matter with you? You walk around. You don't have eyes. When you see something good, you step on it. See how you step on it. No, you have to buy something for me today."

After leaving shopkeeper Liu's store, Liu Guangqi planned to go to Lan Yigui's Tianhexuan for a while, but he had to go in to have a look when he reached the door.As a result, I ran into a problem not long after I walked out.

"I'm sorry, boss, I didn't mean to."

Looking at the stall owner who was pulling his arm and refused to let go, Wang Dongfang quickly apologized.

"It's fine if it's not intentional. Either you lose money, or you buy my painting."

Although Wang Dongfang had apologized, the stall owner was aggressive and refused to let go.

"What's going on? Do you want to touch porcelain?"

Liu Guangqi who heard the movement stopped, looked at the angry stall owner and said.

"If you don't know the situation, don't talk nonsense. What is Pengcier? I'm sitting here to buy paintings. This guy kicks me when he comes up. Take a look and step on the paintings for me, and say I'm looking for trouble." Son, I think you are looking for something."

The stall owner stared at a pair of cowbell-sized eyes and said, Liu Guangqi sized up the other party when he heard the words. Liu Guangqi has met everyone, unless the other party is a newcomer.

Then Liu Guangqi looked down at the other party's booth and said that all the booths praised him, and there were only two or three items in total.And they are all paintings. If the other party is looking for porcelain, the best choice should be porcelain, not these things.Combining these conditions, Liu Guangqi felt that the other party should not be a porcelain lover, but more likely to come to Liulichang to sell things.

However, this is all Liu Guangqi's own inference. You still have to ask Wang Dongfang for the specific situation before making a judgment.

"What's the matter, Dongfang. Is what he said true?"

"Yes, but I really didn't mean it. I was thinking about something and didn't pay attention. What should I do now?"

Wang Dongfang, who had never encountered such a situation before, looked at Liu Guangqi in a panic. He had just seen the value of an antique, and he was afraid that what he was stepping on now was a valuable antique.

"It's okay, I'm here, I'll take a look first."

Liu Guangqi comforted Wang Dongfang, then squatted down and picked up the painting that was trampled by Wang Dongfang.When he opened it, Liu Guangqi was startled. The painting in front of him turned out to be a painting of Ascending the River during the Qingming Festival. If it was true, even if he sold Wang Dongfang, he would not be able to afford it.Even if it wasn't real, and it was copied by others, Wang Dongfang couldn't afford it.

....

Fortunately, this pair is just an imitation of the Republic of China. Although it has some value, the value is definitely not high, and it can be done for a hundred and ten yuan.

"Boss, how do you sell this painting?"

Knowing that it was not the other party's fault, Liu Guangqi's attitude improved a lot.

"The big one is five hundred, and the small one is one hundred."
