Eyes open to the money in the city

Chapter 73 Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Holy Treasure
Soon the stinky tofu was fried, and Hu Yang approached Qin Zixuan with a smile while holding the small box.

"Here, try it."

"don't want……"

Qin Zixuan shook her head decisively.

"It's really delicious, you'll know after a taste." Hu Yang tied a piece with a wooden stick, and then handed it to Qin Zixuan.

"I don't want to taste...!"

Qin Zixuan quickly stepped back, her eyes full of disgust.

"Okay, then I won't force you, but it's your loss if you don't eat."

Seeing that Qin Zixuan really couldn't accept the stinky tofu, Hu Yang didn't force her, and started eating on his own.

Qin Zixuan looked at Populus euphratica with a look of enjoyment, and frowned tightly. She really couldn't understand what delicious stinky tofu was.

The night market was very lively, and there were long queues in front of many stalls. It was really the first time for Qin Zixuan to visit the night market, and many things were very novel to her.

"Young man, buy a flower for your girlfriend..."

Populus euphratica was eating stinky tofu with relish, when an old lady with silver hair came to meet her. She had a bamboo basket hanging on her arm, and inside was packed roses.

"Uh……"

"girlfriend??"

Hu Yang turned his head to look at Qin Zixuan who was next to him, and the latter was blushing pretty.

"One flower costs three yuan, two flowers cost five yuan..."

The old lady said with a smile, the price is quite reasonable, much cheaper than those sold by the children selling flowers on some pedestrian streets.

But the problem is, Qin Zixuan is not her girlfriend.

Therefore, Populus euphratica was a little embarrassed.

"Young man, your girlfriend is so beautiful, buy two flowers for her..." the old lady said again.

"This one……"

Hu Yang turned his head to look at Qin Zixuan and wanted to ask for her opinion, but Qin Zixuan didn't intend to express his opinion at this moment.

"Ahem, okay then..."

Hu Yang took out five yuan and handed it to the old lady.

"Young man, you should cherish such a beautiful girlfriend..."

While handing Populus euphratica, the old lady said with a smile, and then went to find the next flower seller.

Hu Yang held two roses in one hand, and a paper box containing stinky tofu in the other. Then, looking at Qin Zixuan in embarrassment, he handed the roses forward: "Why don't you take the stinky tofu first?" ?”

"Hold it?"

Qin Zixuan rolled her eyes, is this the attitude one should have when giving flowers?

In addition, this is the first time she has received two roses from someone. Before that, she has received too many flowers. The most time, a suitor gave her nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand roses. rose.

Therefore, at the moment, Populus euphratica's flower delivery method and quantity are the lowest!
"It's not easy for the elderly, don't think too much about taking care of business." Hu Yang added.

"understood……"

Qin Zixuan rolled her eyes at Hu Yang, and reached out to take the two roses. She had seen too many glib and eloquent men, but this was the first time she saw a man like Hu Yang.

He is stupid and doesn't know how to make girls happy.

In fact, Hu Yang is not to blame for this, the main reason is that he really has no experience in flirting with girls, and his first and only girlfriend was still actively pursued by others.

The two continued to move forward, and there was a long queue in front of a stall on the side of the road, which was very hot.

Qin Zixuan stopped curiously and took a look at the stall. On the sign were five characters "Bombing the Giant Squid".

"Is this delicious?"

Qin Zixuan turned to look at Hu Yang.

"It's delicious." Hu Yang nodded, "Want to try it?"

"Ah."

Qin Zixuan nodded, she was mainly curious about how delicious the snacks were with so many people queuing up.

"Okay, then I'll buy two."

Hu Yang stood at the end of the line, and Qin Zixuan also stood beside him.

"Did you come here often when you were in school?"

Qin Zixuan asked curiously.

"I come here occasionally. I was poor when I was in school, and I couldn't afford anything when I came. Let's just say this big bombed squid. It costs 15 yuan a piece. If you are in the school cafeteria, you can have a full meal."

Hu Yang smiled.

"Oh."

Qin Zixuan nodded slightly, the life described by Hu Yang was unimaginable to her, a young lady who did not eat fireworks. In fact, she had no concept of money since she was a child, money was just a string of numbers to her.

After queuing for 10 minutes, Hu Yang and Qin Zixuan finally got two skewers of bombarded squid. This thing is a whole squid wrapped in flour, bread crumbs and the like, and then thrown into the frying pan. Of course, It should be another formula, but Populus euphratica is unknown.

"How is the taste??"

After Qin Zixuan took a bite, Hu Yang asked with a smile.

"Hmm, delicious..."

Qin Zixuan nodded with a smile on her face, and then eagerly took a bite. It seems that the bombarded squid is still very suitable for her appetite.

"First time eating?"

Hu Yang asked again.

"Um……"

Qin Zixuan nodded vaguely while eating the squid.

What a miserable girl, it's the first time she eats bombed squid at such a big age...

Hu Yang smiled and shook his head, feeling silently in his heart, it seems that being born in a wealthy family is not necessarily good for everything, at least, they can't feel the fun of ordinary people.

The two walked forward while eating, and unknowingly walked to another area. The stalls on both sides changed from food stalls to one after another, selling everything.

Populus euphratica glanced at the two sides, and then stopped on a street stall selling sundries. This stall was not too big, and it was a standard "floor stall". Wooden bracelets, necklace pendants and other gadgets.

In addition to these things, there are also a lot of copper coins piled up in the corner. Most of those copper coins have rusted and are of poor quality. Due to the limited space in the booth, those copper coins were piled up into a small hill and thrown there. .

But it was these copper coins that attracted Hu Yang's attention. He walked over, squatted in front of the booth, and first looked at those bracelets pretendingly...

"Boy, these bracelets are handmade by my wife and I. The quality is much better than those mass-produced ones."

The stall owner is a 60-year-old old man with a red face and a good spirit.

"How much does this bracelet cost?" Hu Yang casually picked up one of them and asked.

"35." The stall owner said.

"Oh……"

Hu Yang responded lightly, and then put it back.

"If you are really interested, the price can be negotiated." The stall owner said proactively, fearing that he would let the customer go.

Hu Yang didn't answer, but flipped through the pile of rusty copper coins in the corner, and asked, "Are these also for sale?"

"Yes."

The stall owner nodded: "Some time ago, the old house was renovated, and the copper coins dug out of the ground were all Qing Dynasty copper coins."

"How to sell?"

Hu Yang picked up one of them and asked while looking at it.

"It's 20 yuan each. If you want more, you can get it cheaper."

The stall owner thought for a while and replied that his large pile of copper coins must have hundreds of coins, and if it is sold at the price he said, it can be sold for almost 1 yuan.

"Are they all 20 yuan each?"

Hu Yang asked again.

"Yes, they're all the same price!"

The stall owner nodded. After digging out these copper coins, he asked someone who knew them to look at them. They were all from Xianfeng, Tongzhi, and Guangxu three years ago. Few of these copper coins are in good condition, and they are all rusted, so he only asked for 20 yuan each.

"Then I'll pick a few good ones..."

Hu Yang said something, and then began to rummage through the pile of copper coins. After a while, he dug out five coins and shook them in the palm of his hand.

"Well, these are the ones."

Hu Yang took out a red ticket from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner.

"Okay, you take it."

The stall owner took the money and said with a smile while checking the authenticity of the red ticket.

"Master, you are optimistic about the money, I will leave if there is no problem." Hu Yang said.

"No problem, no problem..." The stall owner responded twice.

Hu Yang shrugged, stood up and took the copper coins and left.

"Those copper coins are very valuable?"

Leaving the booth, Qin Zixuan asked curiously. She had been silently observing Hu Yang by the side just now, and found that when he was looking for copper coins, he was not looking at the appearance at all, because the few copper coins he held in his hand were somewhat raw. Rust is bad.

"It's okay, these five copper coins should be able to sell for [-] to [-]." Hu Yang smiled.

"what?"

"You bought it for 100 yuan, but it can sell for [-] to [-]?" Qin Zixuan was very surprised.

"Ah."

Hu Yang nodded, put one of the copper coins in his palm, and explained: "These five copper coins are copper coins from the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom period, but they are holy treasures in the later period, not as valuable as the Tongbao in the early stage, but each one is almost worth it. Sell ​​it for five thousand."

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, as the most famous peasant uprising movement in history, lasted for 13 years. During this period, it also forged its own coins. The earliest one was Tianping Heavenly Kingdom Tongbao, but it was changed to Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Holy Treasure soon.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement was put down, these coins were naturally invalidated. A large part of them were taken back and smelted by the Qing government, and a considerable part was left among the people. However, compared with the copper coins of the Qing Dynasty emperors, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom coins were Coins that have been handed down are naturally very rare.

Therefore, the value is much higher than that of Qing Dynasty copper coins in other years. Depending on the texture and quality, the most expensive coins in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period can even sell for about [-].

However, Populus euphratica holds these five pieces in poor condition, and they are not the rarest one, so the price of each piece should be around [-].

"It's actually a coin from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"

"let me see……"

Qin Zixuan looked curious. She had never seen what the coins of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom looked like.

"Here."

Hu Yang found a relatively good-looking one and handed it to her.

Qin Zixuan took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. On the front of this copper coin were engraved the words "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" and on the back were the words "Sacred Treasure".

"It seems to be no different from the copper coins of other years in the Qing Dynasty." Qin Zixuan said lightly.

"There is no difference at all, and the quality is even worse. After all, the Taiping Army's money-making level is limited. Moreover, when making money at that time, in order to pursue quantity, there were elements of cutting corners..."

Hu Yang explained that, after all, he was a history student, and he was very clear about the not-too-distant history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

A few years ago, a certain official TV station spent huge sums of money to film a TV series about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The plot in it crazily whitewashed the leaders of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, in order to set off the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government. At that time, Populus euphratica was still young , I don't know much about this period of history, and I was really fooled by the screenwriter.

But after he carefully understood the history of that period, he realized that the failure of Hong Xiuquan and others was inevitable, and there were no good people among them!
