Chapter 85 Cultural Relic Store

Hua Zhao held Ye Fang in his arms and walked out of the corridor and the community with a burning gaze on his back.

Ye Fang suddenly stuffed 20 yuan into her hand: "Let's play outside all day. If you're hungry, find a restaurant to eat. I'll get off work at 6pm, and you'll come back later."

"No need, aunt, I have money!" Hua Zhao pushed back.

"What's yours is yours, and what I've given you is what I've given you. Don't be ridiculous and make people laugh."

It was early in the morning during work hours, and people were coming and going, so it was really difficult to push around. Hua Zhao was not someone who liked pushing around, so she accepted it.

Ye Fang was kind to her, and she would repay him twice as much.

Ye Fang smiled, patted her hand, and went to work.

Hua Zhao got on the bus to Liulichang.

Then sell them to senior officials above level 13 or foreign guests to earn foreign exchange.

Of course, some stores only accept but do not sell, and some can sell ordinary things to ordinary people.

Hua Zhao went for this "general" thing. Things that would be worth millions or even tens of millions in later generations were just "general" at this time.

What was the most worth visiting in 1976? Not parks, not shopping malls, but a unique product of this era: cultural relic shops.

Cultural relics and antiques have been good things since ancient times, everyone knows that.

Ten years ago, when the initial craziness was over, cultural relics and antiques were still good things, and there were specialized stores to buy them, but the price was extremely cheap, a bowl for one yuan, a painting for a few yuan.

But at that time, it was only sold for a cabbage price.

He found a few "cabbages" there, and in the 1990s, he got his first pot of gold and became rich.

That's it, he regretted it to the point of turning green, because if he waits for another 20 years, his few "cabbages" can be exchanged for a mountain of gold. It will be more than what he earned in 20 years of hard work.

For example, the paintings of Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi.

After getting off the bus, Hua Zhao started searching on the roadside.

She had never visited a cultural relics store in her previous life. She heard from an elderly client that there was a cultural relics store in this area back then, and it was full of good things. Now, the items in it can be bought in the center of Shanghai.

of a building!

There are three clerks in the house, guarding three walls.

Seeing Hua Zhao coming in, the three people's eyes lit up.

It's rare to see a young girl come to a store like theirs, and she's such a pretty girl.

Hua Zhao searched all the way and suddenly saw a cabbage shop on the roadside, no, a cultural relics shop.

She walked in and immediately smelled a strong stale smell, even a bit musty.

The room was large and dark, like a supply and marketing agency, with counters and shelves, but the items sold were all "junk".

That's it. The old man pointed to the west and said, "Everything over there is fine."

Hua Zhao turned around and looked, a little surprised.

On the counter over there are various knickknacks, on the shelf behind there are volumes of calligraphy and paintings that have not been opened at all, and the floor in the corner is filled with porcelain jars.

"What are you here to sell?" an old man in his sixties looked at Hua Zhao, then stared at the schoolbag behind her and asked.

At his age, he is no longer interested in little girls, he only likes babies.

Seeing that he had a good attitude, Hua Zhao walked over and said with a smile: "I want to buy something. Is there anything that ordinary people can buy?"

"Girl, what do you want to buy? Here are some jade bracelets, they are very beautiful." He took out a jewelry box from the counter, which contained seven or eight jade bracelets, as well as several earrings, rings and other small items.

The quality is average.

After the skyrocketing price of jadeite in later generations, it was worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands at most.

There are so many options.

Hua Zhao happily walked towards the cabbage patch.

The guy at the counter was also very happy.

Hua Zhao put it back again, but she didn't like it either.

Although you can make a profit by buying it for 100 yuan, is it not good to make millions or tens of millions with 100 yuan? Why should you make tens of thousands?

"Is there anything better?" Hua Zhao asked casually.

At this time, foreign guests did not like jade and would not buy it. High-ranking officials' families did not like such poor jade and would not buy it, so they sold it.

"How much?" Hua Zhao asked, picking up a relatively good-quality bracelet.

"100." The young man said.

Mahogany, small items like this, are also not valuable. A mahogany kang table is worth 5 yuan.

In the eyes of people at this time, the only valuable things may be a few corners and drawer handles of gold.

But what is the current price of gold? The bank purchase price is 99 yuan per tael, which is about 2 yuan per gram.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then looked at Hua Zhao and said, "Wait a moment." He turned around and entered the small door behind him, and soon came out holding a box.

Hua Zhao's eyes lit up when he looked at the box. It was a lacquered and carved mahogany box, edged with gold, and inlaid with seven Buddhist treasures, pearls, agate, and clams on the top, bottom, and left.

It may have been valuable in ancient times, but it is no longer valuable now.

Hua Zhao's eyes lit up, she liked this color!

It's not imperial green, but Zhengyang green, apple green, which is a bit light, but has a good water head, almost glass-like, very rigid, and looks green and particularly bright.

"This color is perfect for your little girl." The young man whispered, "This was ordered by someone before, but she later said she didn't want it. You came at the right time."

Therefore, as long as this box is not used by a celebrity or a queen or concubine, it is worthless.

The young man opened the worthless box and pulled out the upper and lower drawers. Inside was a set of jade jewelry.

Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings.

The young man wanted to sell it to Hua Zhao, if she could afford it.

But it should be okay, this little girl's temperament is better than the children of senior officials he has seen.

Hua Zhao picked up the green bracelet, but even in a dark room, its brilliance could not be concealed.

The young man winked at him.

Although they are not a jewelry store, and they do not accept advanced customization, there are only so many good things, and sometimes they have to rely on their connections to whom they sell.

The level of this set of jewelry meant that it was necessary to exchange for foreign exchange. However, there are too few foreigners coming to the country now. I finally met a few but didn't like them. Someone above them made some moves, and this set of jewelry was sold internally.

, someone immediately placed an order, but the person who placed the order didn't come to pick it up for several days. I heard it was unlucky...

It was already August, the hottest time in Beijing. She walked all the way to find this store, and her body was sore from the sun. She even stood inside for a while and it didn't feel better.

But now it feels much cooler all of a sudden.

Hua Zhao held the bracelet and waited for a while, watching the energy circulate on it three times. She felt completely cool and was sure that the bracelet was really useful to her.

It almost seems to absorb light.

Suddenly, Hua Zhao felt that the energy in his body was flowing a little faster.

The golden energy traveled to her hand, flowed out, circled around the bracelet, and returned to her body. Her body immediately felt a little different, as if it was cooler.

She put the bracelet on her hand, and the ring was just right, not too big or too small.

"How much?"

"Who told you to wear it? Take it off for me!"

Hua Zhao had just asked the price when a female voice screamed behind him.
