Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 443: Local things are more valuable if placed locally.

The man in his fifties glanced at him, said nothing, and walked directly to one of the houses.

When he got to the door, he put his items on the ground, then took out the key and opened the door.

Then he took everything he had just put on the ground into the house.

Wu Yuansheng was not in a hurry to go out. When he entered, he walked over.

When he arrived at the door of the room and took a look inside, he found that there were many various objects placed inside, almost filling the space.

There is also a single bed inside.

"Master, I don't see anyone else here. Are you the only one living here?"

He didn't mention picking up things in the demolition area. After passing by, he greeted him.

(The other people mentioned refer to the managers or staff inside.)

"Yes! It's just me. It's going to be demolished. I'm here to look after the door."

After hearing him ask that, the master said casually.

His accent is local, and judging from his appearance, he is also a relatively easy-going person.

"I see that you have picked up a lot of things. Do you want to sell them? If so, I will choose a few.

Don't be offended by this. When I have nothing to do, I will also go to the homes of residents who have moved out to pick up things.

Of course, the place I went to was not here. "

Looking at him, Wu Yuansheng said with a smile again.

That said, in some ways, they are the same kind of people.

"Really? Then where do you usually pick it up?"

After hearing what he said, the man's tone and attitude became obviously more "kind".

I ignored the matter of whether the things could be sold or not, and only heard about going to pick up things from other people's houses.

"Me! The year before last, I was at the Ermi Factory on Ninth Street, Pawnshop Street, and Honggou. Last year, I was on Porcelain Street and the courtyard of the automobile battery factory. This year, I also went to the countryside over Dongchen Town."

Wu Yuansheng briefly mentioned some places.

There are many locations for demolition in various urban areas, and it is impossible for him to mention them all.

"Then you knew the information earlier than I did. I didn't know until more than two months ago that I went to look for things in the homes of those who had moved away."

Maybe it was because he had a lot of stuff and was a little hot after carrying it for a long distance. When he was talking, he took off the hat on his head.

"It's not too late! Aren't there still many areas that are being demolished? This is my business card. I've been talking about it for so long and I still don't know what to call you. What's your surname?"

He asked in passing as he took out a business card from his wallet and handed it over.

"My surname is Xu, you collect antiques!"

When he took the business card handed over and looked at it, he followed.

"Yes! Didn't I say that before? Take a look at the things here and buy a few if you want them!"

"Then come in and take a look. If you want something, I'll sell it to you! You know antiques. You can definitely find some good things in the demolition area. Unlike us, we pick up everything."

As he spoke, he called Wu Yuansheng into the house.

I had looked outside before and saw that there were a lot of things in the house. Although he said he had only been picking for more than two months, he could still pick up a lot of items if he picked them every day.

There is a row of old cabinets and several old desks in the room, which were obviously brought from nearby relocated households.

The inside and top of the cabinet are filled with various items, including:

Teapots, vases, pen holders, gourds, cultural toys bracelets, glasses, porcelain statues of Guanyin, God of Wealth, plaster statues of great men, Maitreya Buddha statues, calculators, globes.

Abacus, ruler, old flashlight, various teacups, old horn knives, pens, brushes, inkstones, and mooncake molds.

Cloth bags, leather bags, mirrors, wall calendars, handicraft paintings hanging on the wall, etc.

On the desk are old thermos bottles, desk lamps, trophies, kerosene lamps, purple clay pots, various motorcycle helmets, bicycle helmets, ashtrays, and beautiful wine bottles.

There are even health products, tea leaves, tea bricks, dried sea cucumbers, shampoos and facial cleansers on display.

In addition to the cabinets and desks, there are also many various things placed on the floor.

These are slightly heavier and are:

Flower pots, stone mortars, beautiful jars and jars from the Makou kiln, large pottery teapots or ceramic teapots, ceramic basins, fire cages, stacks of plates and bowls in wooden boxes, etc.

In the corner, there are also agricultural tools such as bamboo poles, wooden poles, rakes, hoes, and poplar forks, as well as some scale beams.

As he said just now, he saw everything he could ask for and picked it up if he thought it was of some value.

"Master Xu, if you put these things you picked up, you can open a folk culture museum. If this place is not demolished, it will be great to display it for everyone to visit in the future!"

While looking at and selecting the items he could get, Wu Yuansheng chatted with him.

“What you said makes sense, these things are used by people in this area.

Let me tell you, when you come to visit the mosque, there is nothing interesting except for the big catalpa tree. I personally think it would be better to put some nostalgic folk items inside and put them in a separate room.

However, the leaders above will definitely not think or act this way, and this place will definitely be demolished in the future. "

Master Xu thought for a while and then said.

With the development of the times, places like mosques seem to have become tourist attractions. Everyone who walks there can go in and take a look.

In addition to places like this, there are other similar occasions, many of which have also become tourist attractions for ordinary people to visit.

"Yes! It would be really good if we could really build a room to put some nostalgic items. Anyway, there are many empty houses. If this place is demolished, it will be rebuilt. Maybe someone will use the things you picked up?"

He laughed and joked with him again.

"The possibility you said is very small! Demolitions are happening everywhere now, and the old city is almost completely demolished. In a few years, everyone will live in high-rise buildings, and it will be difficult to see some old objects."

"You can definitely see old objects. There are many antique cities and antique shops, and there are also museums, but the things produced here have different meanings when placed here.

Take some collectors as an example. When they collect old photos, they only collect local ones, not those from other cities. In addition, cigarette labels, wine labels, or medals also only need local ones.

For example, the houses, house numbers, household registrations, and some documents of the residents in Huimin Street in Yiqiao are all specific.

If a cultural center or collection hall were built in this area, putting those items in it would have a different meaning than the same type of items taken from other places. "

(Many people think so for some commemorative historical objects. It is best to place them in their original areas.)

"You're right! Local things are more valuable when placed locally.

I have never thought about this before. You antique collectors know better.

But those who are engaged in recycling buy things from this place and sell them to other places! "

"There is nothing we can do about it. It is the same all over the country. Unless there are rich people in the local area who provide money, and they also like to collect and know how to collect."
