Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

The day after returning from Yazhou, Wu Yuansheng continued his life as usual and began to "sweep" the garbage dumps in the suburbs, looking for possible "opportunities."

On the afternoon of the 8th, while he was wandering around a road construction area in the north of the city, Master Xu from the Muslim Street Mosque called and said that he had picked up something and asked him to go and take a look.

When I asked him what he picked up, he said he would know it just by looking at it.

Considering that there were no valuable items in the area where the road was dug, he drove directly there.

During this period, he passed by a bank and was afraid that he would not have enough money, so he stopped the car and withdrew 1 yuan.

After a few days of work, almost all the walls of the construction site had been built. When he arrived, the gatekeeper said, "This is a heavy construction site, and idlers are not allowed to enter," and blocked him from the gate.

(The situation on Muslim Street is different from that on Ermi Factory, Pawnshop Street and Porcelain Street.

In those two places, excavation had already started before the courtyard walls were built, and everyone could enter at will.

Here, the courtyard wall is built first and then the construction is carried out. There are people to manage it, and there are no colleagues to dig out the walls. )

After calling Master Xu and having him come to the door, they walked towards the mosque together.

There are no demolished buildings inside, and this is the only place left.

He hadn't been here for a few days, and he saw a lot of eight-wheel garbage trucks parked inside.

There is an excavator digging into the ground. It seems that the machine is being tested. If the excavator is not used for a few days, it needs to be tested.

There are also some excavated and piled high mounds of muck inside. These are the houses of the previous units. There is concrete underground and they have been specially treated separately.

(The concrete is the foundation, which has been broken up with "woodpeckers" in advance. If it is not treated, it will be difficult for the excavator to dig into such a position to continue construction, that is, it will not be able to dig.)

Today I was testing the machine, and so many slag trucks stopped. It was obvious that they were going to dig out the first layer of sludge.

Following Boss Xu, he soon arrived at the house where he lived.

Compared with the houses he saw a few times before when he came here, which were filled with bottles, cans, pots, pans and other daily necessities picked up from the demolition area, what he saw this time was obviously much less. What folk items.

It must have been moved to another place, after all, this place might be demolished at some point.

There is a lot of iron inside the house, mainly water pipes and steel bars.

Needless to say, these irons were all picked up from the construction site here.

"Master Xu, did you get something valuable? You kept it so secret that you didn't say anything on the phone."

Now there are only two of them here, Wu Yuansheng said to him with a smile.

Put this way, it's mostly a joke.

"I got a small jar of copper plates and some other worthless things. Let me take out the copper plates for you to take a look at!"

Not paying attention to his joke, he brought a jar over shortly after he finished speaking.

This pot is made of pottery and looks like it is used for boiling medicine. It is not too big, about 25 centimeters high and 15 centimeters in diameter. There is a large "spout" on the top. It dates to the Qing Dynasty.

The jar was not the most important thing. He said it contained copper plates. Wu Yuansheng took it in his hand and looked at it.

The coins exposed at the top include Guangxu Yuanbao, Sichuan copper coins, double-flag copper coins, etc.

These copper coins looked wet, and one could tell that they had just been picked up not long ago.

It must have been picked up in the afternoon.

I tried the weight, with the can, and it was about 11 or 2 pounds.

He had picked up a "small cache of cans."

"Master Xu, you will be rich if you pick up a jar of silver coins!"

After reading it, Wu Yuansheng said to him with a smile.

"I'm not so lucky! I also want to pick up a pot of gold! It's pretty good to pick this up."

That he can think this way proves that his mentality is still very good.

"You're right. Picking up things depends on fate and requires luck. How do you plan to sell these?"

Putting the jar on the cabinet by the wall, he asked the price.

"You charge this, and this isn't the first time we've dealt with each other. Please tell me the price!"

Without saying how much he wanted to sell it for, Master Xu asked him instead.

"As for copper plates, the common varieties nowadays are mostly sold by the piece. Depending on the quality of the product, the price ranges from 2 yuan to 10 yuan each.

Because these of yours are put in jars, you can't see the specific conditions inside, so it's very risky. If they are all copper plates, there should be about 500 to 600 of them. If there is still soil in them, there won't be that many. quantity.

I’ve already mentioned the approximate price. It’s a good thing, so you’d better decide the price! You walk around the demolition area every day. You have also been to the antique market and know the prices! "

Wu Yuansheng thought for a while and then said.

This kind of jar is very unlikely to be filled with soil. Usually, it is completely filled with coins.

However, he still wanted to talk about that possibility.

In addition, he did not intend to reveal the rare coins that might be inside. After all, the number of rare coins was limited, so it was possible that there were none.

Buying things is all about picking up missing items and making money.

Even if he sells it to others, they still have to make a profit.

"Five to six hundred? It costs 2 to 10 yuan each. How about you give me 5000 yuan for these?"

Master Xu thought briefly for a while and then said.

People who don't know much about antiques may always think that copper coins or copper dollars are valuable. People who have actually visited antique stalls and saw the piles of coins will know that most of these items are actually very ordinary.

Coins are the most abundant items in circulation, and they have been the same throughout the ages.

"Okay! Then 5000."

He agreed.

Buying it at this price is definitely profitable for him.

The quality of copper coins in cans is better than those scattered at the foot of walls or stone foundations or other places outdoors.

When playing with coins, including other collections, in addition to authenticity, rarity, and condition are also crucial.

If he bought this kind of canned copper coins back, he would still bet with others.

After agreeing on the price of the medicine can and coins, Master Xu took out other items and looked at them.

Mainly some ceramic tiles, which he picked up while picking up iron when the excavator was cleaning the concrete of the foundations of the flats.

(After I bought his ginseng medicinal wine that time, I bought other things from him several times.

The last time I came here I bought more than 20 guild hall bricks with writing on them.

There are no houses to be demolished here, and he has no time to go to other demolition areas. But now he is preparing to dig the first layer of muck. Master Xu lives in the construction site, and no one will compete with him for "resources", so he can still make a little fortune. of. )

The prices they talked about for other items were about 2000 yuan.

After paying, he asked Master Xu to help carry all the items to the van.

When he left here, it was already about 4:30. He looked inside the construction site and found that an excavator was loading soil on the rear eight wheels.

It looks like the soil is really going to fall tonight.
