"This thing is a bit famous."
I said, selling it off, "But there are many private imitations."
"Stop being so pretentious, just tell me!"
Chen Cheng, who had been concentrating on eating, was also attracted by this ancient coin and turned his attention.
"At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and the gold sword was wrong."
I revealed the identity of this ancient coin.
"This... I've seen the golden knife. I'm afraid this is different, right?"
Zhou Jianguo frowned, thinking about the style of the golden knife.
"An ordinary gold-wrapped knife costs between 150,000 and 200,000 yuan."
I said, "However, the ordinary gold-wrapped knives are actually counterfeit coins from that time."
Then, I slowly said this allusion.
Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and started currency reform, developing a gold-wrapped knife equivalent to five thousand coins.
But the actual weight is only one-twelfth of five baht.
In other words, twelve five-baht coins can be used as five thousand coins if they are forged into gold coins.
Therefore, even if Wang Mang implemented the most rigorous craftsmanship at the time, he could not stop the ingenious people.
The craftsmanship of the counterfeiting is so good that most people cannot even recognize it.
However, as time passed, fake gold-stitched knives became an "ordinary" style.
"Because Wang Mang later abolished the five-thousand-yuan gold-wrapped knife, so the majority of fake gold-wrapped knives are made."
I explained, "The second one is a real gold knife."
Then, I searched for general gold staggered knives on my phone.
"You see, normal counterfeit coins will have some defects at the joint between the knife and the copper coin. This is caused by private counterfeiting and long-term use."
I explained, "And this one, there is no defect at the joint. It is a serious government-made gold staggered knife."
“It’s been a great benefit!”
Zhou Jianguo sighed, "Brother Shen, this meal is worth the price of admission!"
After my explanation, he not only got a genuine golden sword made by the officials of the New Dynasty in the late Western Han Dynasty, but he even heard such an unknown story.
His men were also shocked by my "eruditeness".
"Brother Shen is very knowledgeable and I admire him."
Zhou Jianguo's younger brothers also bowed their hands in salute.
"It's something I learned before, and it's still of some use."
I said and waved my hand, wanting to change the topic.
"Brother Shen, can you leave your contact information?"
"If there are good goods, I would also like to invite Brother Shen to come and take a look."
Zhou Jianguo said thoughtfully.
"OK."
The second time we met, it was considered fate, so I gave him my contact information.
The few of us were talking and laughing, and the hot pot meal was coming to an end.
After eating hot pot, Zhou Jianguo took his men and left in a car.
I also took Chen Cheng back to the rental house.
"Maybe...without your clothes."
"Let's just rest today. You and I will go get some clothes tomorrow."
As I said that, I leaned on the sofa and said, "Don't go to work for the next two days. It's all injuries. Have a good rest."
Since Chen Cheng didn't want to go to the hospital, he always needed to rest.
"Is this how you earn your money?"
Chen Cheng sat next to me and looked at me with curious eyes, "What do you do?"
"Just looking at the antiques and being crude."
I said and smiled, "If you're lucky, you can double your money several times, but if you're not lucky, you won't even get your capital back."
Saying it is a lottery, I think it is more of a "gamble".
Compared with the lottery, it is more about technology, the comparison is my understanding of the dynasty and the control of the details of these antiques.
"I……"
After hearing my words, Chen Cheng was about to speak, but suddenly he swallowed his words.
But her eyes gave her away.
"You want to do it with me, right?"
I swallowed the words she put into my mouth.
"I...don't know if it's possible."
Chen Cheng lowered his head and his voice became smaller and smaller, "But I am short of money..."
"By the way, it's time for you to talk about your debt."
I said and sighed.
But as soon as I finished speaking, Chen Cheng fell silent and buried his head in my arms, as if he didn't want to speak.
Everyone has difficulties, the kind of difficulties that you don’t want others to know.
Of course I do, that's why I came to Hezhou.
This kind of thing cannot be said without a certain relationship.
"It's okay, you don't have to say anything."
I said and patted her back, "It's not too late to tell me after I help you pay it off."
Faced with such trust in me, I only felt a little wet on the chest of my clothes.
"Fool, what if I lie to you?"
"Are you helping me like this?"
Chen Cheng looked at me with red eyes as he spoke, his tears wiping directly on my clothes.
"Every drop of kindness is repaid by a spring. If we don't help each other, what would society do? Everyone just goes their own way and does things by themselves."
I opened my mouth and said, "Just think of me as my master who teaches you strictly."
"You have a secret, and I have a secret too."
After that, she and I laughed.
Not long after, I went downstairs to buy some daily necessities. Chen Cheng wanted to live together, so he always needed more things.
I can make do with it, but Chen Cheng is a girl and can't make do with it.
After Chen Cheng and I worked hard for a while, we went back to our rooms to rest.
The next morning, I walked out of the room.
Seeing that Chen Cheng's door was still closed, I left the money and note and went out first.
With tens of thousands in hand, it is easier than yesterday.
Fumin Flower and Bird Market doesn’t have many good things, but you can still find gold in the sand.
At worst, I’ll go to Hongjiang Antique Shop again.
Among the goods that Sister Mei showed me yesterday, there were quite a few genuine ones.
However, after I saw it, the price may be much higher.
In line with the principle that you should not focus on one place when gathering wool, I walked around and looked at the street stalls first.
Unexpectedly, I saw a young-looking, gentle man wearing glasses.
There were coins on his stall.
I took a closer look, gold was wrong?
There are actually five more!
I have a hunch that Zhou Jianguo might have collected it from him last night.
"This golden knife is pretty good."
I smiled and squatted down to look at the coins on his stall.
"My family had a sudden illness and were short of money, so I took out the ancestral items."
The young man looked at me and explained with a smile, "Boss, would you like to take a look?"
"Let me see."
As I said that, I picked up a gold knife and looked at it. The stall was not like an antique shop, there weren't many rules.
It is indeed a genuine product, and it is... the kind made by the government!
"Where did these things come from?"
I asked, "I don't believe in this ancestral tradition."
"This was left to me by my grandfather. My grandfather was seriously ill and was short of money."
The young man said innocently, "It's all true! One in a thousand, do you think about it?"
I looked at the young man, and he looked like he really didn't know how to do it.
"How much is your grandfather's shortfall?"
I asked.
Faced with this kind of person who doesn't feel sorry for his son, I can only sigh.
But morality made me decide that when I collected his things, I would at least help his grandfather solve his illness problem.
