The beautiful bracelet Chen Xiaoyan was talking about was very fancy, each bead showed bright different textures and colors, and the surface was slightly withered, with various small animals engraved on it.
Such bracelets do look good, at least for girls. Just as she was about to reach out and touch it, Li Mo patted her arm and said, "Let's go."
"What's wrong, brother?"
After walking out of two stalls, Li Mocai whispered: "They are all chemical plastics. In addition to looking good, they are also harmful to the human body."
Chen Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue: "I thought it was a natural stone."
Li Mo kept scanning the various stalls. He hadn't been to a domestic antique market for a long time, and he felt that it was difficult to encounter any good things again.
I didn't find anything good at the end of the sun-shaded corridor. This is the temple square in front of the Chenghuang Temple. If I want to go shopping next, I can only go to the antique street, but I definitely won't have the chance to go there.
"Brother, where are we going now?" Chen Xiaoyan looked around, "It's really lively here."
Before Li Mo could answer, he saw a chubby young man walking towards him. The glasses he wore on his face had very thick lenses, and his eyes must be very near-sighted.
The reason why I looked at him more often was because he was carrying a small black bag. His right hand was stuffed into the bag and he seemed to be holding something. He was selling something to tourists as he walked. The key is that the people he was selling to were all women. The fat man came closer, and when he saw Chen Xiaoyan, you stepped forward happily and whispered: "Beauty, are you interested in antique silver coins? They are definitely genuine, you can take a look first."
The fat man took his right hand out of the bag and opened his palm to reveal a gray head. Chen Xiaoyan subconsciously leaned towards Li Mo and stared at him warily.
"You only have one in your hand?"
Instead, Li Mo asked with great interest. The silver dollar in the fat man's hand was indeed the silver dollar issued during the Yuan Shikai period of the Republic of China. But it is also Yuan Datou. Due to the different casting places, batches, and quantities, some Yuan Datou are quite valuable, while others are just so-so.
The fat man had already asked more than thirty people, but only Li Mo showed interest. He quickly showed a bright smile and said, "Yes, I still have a lot of silver coins, which were handed down from my ancestors."
He took out three more pieces from his bag and showed them to Li Mo. They were all antique Yuan Datou.
“Besides Yuan Pier, are there other types of silver coins?”
"Of course, there are many more at home. If you want to take a look, sir, I will take you there. It's not far, only ten minutes' walk."
The fat man looked at Li Mo and then at Chen Xiaoyan beside him.
"Can."
Li Mo agreed, and Chen Xiaoyan naturally nodded.
The fat man led the way diligently, and soon left the temple square and walked into a deep alley. This area is full of private houses in old Shanghai. They are very old, but due to the special geographical location, they cannot be demolished or rebuilt. . It can be regarded as an old and broken house in Shanghai, but even a house like this is hard to find.
Because the location is so good.
"Here you two, please. The house is a bit old, so it looks quite shabby."
The fat man led the two of them into a small yard, and saw an even fatter old man lying under the awning in the yard. There was a small water basin next to him. The old man used a towel to put water on his body to cool down from time to time.
Chen Xiaoyan frowned slightly, probably hating this scene.
"Grandpa, these two handsome guys and beauties want to see other antique silver coins."
"You take the boxes out and let you two pick them."
"Why."
The little fat man quickly walked into the house, then moved out a 30 cm square wooden box, opened the lid and revealed a large box full of silver coins.
"Handsome guy, here are all the silver coins handed down from our ancestors. There are coins from different periods. You can choose and take a look."
Li Mo took a quick look and saw that the silver coins in this box were all real. At least some of the coins he saw were antique silver coins. He grabbed a handful and looked at them one by one. What he mainly looked at was the time.
“How did you sell this antique silver dollar?”
"Handsome boy, these silver coins are passed down from our ancestors. They must be genuine. Don't worry. As for the price, it depends on how many you want to buy. The more you buy, the greater the price discount."
It's probably not the first day the little fat man has been in this business.
At this time, Li Mo used his strange child to look again. His clairvoyant gaze continued to penetrate downwards. Suddenly, a light gray halo was transmitted through the milky white halo world, turning into a circle of light and spreading out.
"Hey, there are actually silver coins from the late Qing Dynasty. It's a good thing."
Li Mo grumbled in his heart, looked away, and asked calmly: "What's the price for one piece, what's the price for five pieces, and what kind of discount can you give for more than ten pieces?"
"Handsome guy, the Chenghuang Temple is nearby. You can ask the merchants who have antique silver coins. They offer at least 40,000 to 50,000 for one, but I only need 35,000. If you buy more than five, it will be 30,003. One piece, ten thousand pieces or more.”
Chen Xiaoyan was surprised that such a gray old silver dollar was still so valuable.
"Little boss, what you say is a bit contradictory. Since the merchants at the Chenghuang Temple sell one piece for 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, you can definitely sell it to those merchants?"
The little fat man waved his hands and showed a very angry face: "Handsome guy, you don't know that their selling price is high, but the buying price is very cheap. To be honest, they charge these silver coins at very low prices. Ten thousand yuan a piece, not even a penny more. So we would rather keep it in our hands than sell it to them, and as for you, handsome man, if you really want to buy a few pieces for your collection, buying them from me is the most cost-effective way."
The little fat man revealed a lot of information with his bald mouth. The fat man over there immediately coughed and reminded him of something, but it was too late.
Li Mo looked at the little fat man with a half-smile but said: "Little boss, those unscrupulous merchants are only willing to pay 10,000 yuan for your silver coins, but you sell them to me for more than 30,000 yuan. I feel a little unhappy. . If you are willing, I will buy ten pieces for fifteen thousand each. Isn’t it more kind than those unscrupulous merchants?"
The little fat man had an embarrassed look on his face and glanced at the old man.
"If you buy twenty pieces, you can get one for fifteen thousand. If it's less, there's no need to talk about it."
The fat old man replied.
Li Mo hesitated and looked at the silver coins in his hand hesitantly. After a while, he wiped the sweat from his face and said, "No problem, but I want to select 20 coins in good condition from the box."
"It's definitely possible." When the little fat man heard that Li Mo was so happy, he quickly poured out the water in the basin next to the fat old man, and then put the basin next to the wooden box. "Handsome guy, pick slowly, look. If you don't win, just put it in this basin and I'll take care of it later."
"Okay, I'll choose it, and my sister will pay you."
Chen Xiaoyan whispered from the side: "Brother, is it too expensive? I still have less than 350,000 yuan left in total?"
"Beauty, the price is not expensive, not expensive at all. As long as you take it back and resell it, it will be easy to make a hundred or eighty thousand."
Chen Xiaoyan snorted softly, seeming to care about money.
Li Mo picked slowly, looking at each one. It was a bit slow at first, but then he picked it up one by one and looked at it. When he caught half of the silver coins in the box, he had already picked out twenty silver coins.
"No more picking, that's all." Li Mo asked Chen Xiaoyan to pay, "Little boss, the total is 300,000 yuan. Do you want to count the amount again?"
"No, no, there are twenty in total, that's right."
The little fat man kept staring at the mobile phone that Chen Xiaoyan finally took out, wishing that the 300,000 yuan would be received immediately.
