Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"I don't know much about these things. Could it be that this coin has some extraordinary origin?"

The old man asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Of course, old man, how could I lie to you? This coin is extremely rare. Zhang Xianzhong, old man, do you know that?"

"Yes, the Great Western King Zhang Xianzhong, could this coin be related to him?"

"That's right. This coin was specially minted by Zhang Xianzhong to reward his own generals, so there are very few of them left in the world."

“There is such a saying.”

"Old man, I really like this coin. How about you sell it to me?"

"Well, since you like it, just take it. Even if it's rare, it's not worth much after all."

"Master, you are totally wrong. This thing is very valuable!"

Xu Damao recalled that in his previous life, a Western King Reward Gold Coin was sold at a high price of more than two million!

"In addition, during the Qing Dynasty, anyone who dared to touch anything related to the Western King would be executed along with his entire family, not to mention commemorative coins such as the Western King Reward."

“So, the dirt on the coins I just wiped off must have been done intentionally by someone in order to conceal the true identity of this coin!”

"I see. It seems this thing is really valuable. Just give me some money. I estimate it's only worth about ten or eight dollars."

"Also, if you hadn't told the old man, I wouldn't have known the origins of this thing, so you are an honest person, little brother!"

The old man felt a little emotional.

"Old man, your son died for his country in the Korean battlefield. Although I don't consider myself a good person, if I cheat you, not only will I be condemned by thousands of people, but I will also feel guilty!"

"There is one more thing I need to make clear to the old man. This coin is made of real gold. It weighs about one ounce, or about fifty grams."

"Grandpa, putting aside the historical value and collection value, the weight of this coin alone is much heavier than a small yellow croaker from the Republic of China era. It is not something that can be bought for ten or eight yuan."

Xu Damao introduced it to the old man solemnly.

"Hey, is this coin still gold? Let me see."

Xu Damao handed the coin to the old man.

The old man weighed it in his hand for a few times, then picked up a few copper coins on the table next to him and weighed them a few times.

"It is true that this square-holed coin is heavier. I never noticed this detail before."

"Grandpa, the price of this coin has gone up, right? Hehe!"

Xu Damao chuckled at the side and asked the old man to look at the golden color he had just touched on the whetstone. The old man nodded repeatedly when he saw it.

"The golden color is a little blurry, but I dare not grind it any further. If I do, I will probably damage the coin itself. After I buy it back, I will use other methods to remove the stains on the coin."

"Old man, I can pay four hundred dollars for this gold coin!"

Xu Damao spoke to himself, as if the coin was already in his pocket.

"Little brother, if you really want this coin, just take a hundred dollars! I won't sell it for more than that!"

"Old man, you are so funny. Other sellers are eager to raise the price, but you are doing the opposite? One hundred yuan is not enough for this treasure."

Xu Damao was a little confused.

"It's true that the price of this thing has gone up, but it still has to be you, bro!"

"I am an old man, but I am not confused at all. I am a wise man."

"I also understand that you are the only one who came here today. If someone else had found this gold coin, they would have hidden it and not told the truth to this old man."

"Then they will say it's a hundred dollars. Even if we just talked about the price of ten or eight dollars, the old man won't be able to get it. Maybe someone else will take it away for one or two dollars."

"It has increased a hundred times in an instant. I am so happy!"

"This is really not worth the price of this thing. It's only worth one gold at most!"

"If you hadn't explained it so well to the old man, I would have thought he was a worthless copper coin! It's only a hundred yuan, and besides, our family doesn't lack money to spend."

The old man stuffed the Western King's reward coins directly into Xu Damao's pocket.

"Thank you very much, old man."

Xu Damao could only bow his hands.

"Young man, take another look at this jade seal."

The old man said as he held a square jade seal in one hand and handed it over. Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly took it...

"Grandpa, this has reached the level of a jade seal! Such a large piece of Hetian mutton-fat jade seed material, and it was carved by an old craftsman from the Qing Dynasty! This was carved out bit by bit... This thing is of a high level!"

"Grandpa, the common people call it a seal or a chapter, and the royal family calls it a seal! The key is that this is a plain seal, and I don't know why it was passed down slowly."

"Brother, I don't know much about this, but I know it's something passed down from my elders, and I know it's a good jade seal. This piece of jade is really good."

"Then will you sell it, old man? The value of this thing is not less than the gold coin that the King of the West gave as a reward."

"Really? Then I'll give it all to you!"

"Okay, thank you very much, old man! I can see that this jade seal is worth 400 yuan, I will give you the money right now!"

Xu Damao directly took out five stacks of Great Unity from his pocket and handed them to the old man without even clicking.

The old man took the money without any pretense and also did not count it.

"Brother, you can carry so much money on you, it seems you are quite wealthy!"

"Hehe, for those of us who are doing business, besides putting the money in the bank, it's safer to keep it on your body. However, it's more troublesome to withdraw money from the bank, so it's better to keep it on your body!"

"Okay, I'll put the money away first. Brother, take a break and collect these things!"

"Okay, go ahead, old man."

While the old man was hiding the money, Xu Damao took out two pieces of cloth from the box, wrapped up the gold coins and the jade seal given by the King of the West, and took them in his hand.

"Hahaha, little brother, I'm in a very good mood today. I'm going to go out and buy some wine and food, and we'll have a drink together!"

"No, no, there's something going on at home. I'm going out just to buy groceries this time."

"Okay, I won't keep you here, bye."

"Let's go!"

Xu Damao put the two treasures into his pocket, walked outside pushing the cart, said hello to Xiao Yuanchao who was playing in the yard, and left the yard directly.
