I trade in both worlds

"What's the difference between the auction price and the purchase price?" Xu Xu had never heard of the auction price and didn't know what an auction was.

"What is an auction? Explain it quickly." Xu Ziqing looked at Xu Ziqi and raised his chin, urging arrogantly.

Xu Ziqi glanced at her and explained, "Auction is also called bidding. It is a way of buying and selling in business. It is to sell the goods to the person with the highest bid through bidding."

"I don't understand." Xu Xu looked at him blankly.

"Uh..." Xu Ziqi thought about it seriously. He was not qualified to participate in the auction. Apart from knowing how to bid, he didn't know much else.

Xu Ziqing was happy to see him being defeated, so he took out his phone and searched for relevant videos about the auction and handed them to Xu Xu: "Hey, this is the auction."

After that, he looked at Xu Ziqi and said, "It's such a simple matter, but you have to use pale words to explain it. The key is that the explanation is not clear, so what's the point of you."

Xu Ziqi: “…”

After Xu Xu understood what an auction was, Xu Ziqi repeated the price the antique dealer paid for it.

Xu Xu nodded and said, "Let's just go with their purchase price. Although the price at the auction house is a bit higher, the handling fee is not cheap either, and we have to wait for an appointment."

"Okay, then I'll call him and tell him." Xu Ziqi replied.

After agreeing on the price, when the other party asked for the bank account number for the transfer, Xu Ziqi remembered that Xu Xu was an illegal resident and could not apply for a bank card without an ID card.

After thinking about it, Xu Ziqi decided to ask the other party to transfer the money to his bank card, collect the money first and then solve other problems.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ziqi talked to Xu Xu about the ID card issue: "Xu Xu, you don't have an ID card, so you can't apply for a bank card. The other party's money will be transferred to my account first."

"Do you think I should withdraw the cash and give it to you, or should I apply for a bank card for you to use first?"

After hearing what Xu Ziqi said, Xu Ziqing remembered this and asked after thinking for a while: "Do you think she can get an ID card by going directly to the police station?"

Without waiting for Xu Ziqi to answer, Xu Xu asked directly: "What is an ID card?"

"It's the household registration certificate from your place." Xu Ziqi replied.

In the Dayun Dynasty, the content and format of the household registration certificate were regulated. It needed to be issued by the government and must be stamped with the government's official seal.

The contents of the household registration certificate include personal basic information, family member relationships, place of origin, occupation, property status, etc.

A person’s basic information includes name, gender, age, place of birth, etc.; family members include parents, spouse, children, etc.; native place refers to a person’s birthplace and ancestral home.

Property status refers to a person's property and wealth status. This information is presented in the form of text and charts on the ancient household registration certificate for easy management and inquiry.

The procedures for applying for a household registration certificate are also very cumbersome. In order to ensure the authenticity of the household registration, the government requires the parties to provide a large amount of supporting documents.

For example, birth certificates, marriage certificates, residence certificates, etc., must be certified by relevant witnesses, and the issuance of household registration certificates must go through layers of review and approval.

Thinking of this, Xu Xu asked in a low voice: "Do we have to do it?"

"That's the best. This will make traveling much more convenient for you in the future." Xu Ziqi said.

Xu Xu didn't understand the modern household registration system and looked at the two of them blankly. He was a little afraid of having to come into contact with local authorities. After all, in ancient times, if one went to apply for a household registration certificate and couldn't explain his origins clearly, he would be treated as a refugee.

In addition, she had four children to take care of, so Xu Xu was even more afraid to take risks. If she met a corrupt official, she might lose everything and not be able to get out. If she met an honest official, even if she could get out, she would suffer a lot.

Xu Xu thought that her family was still living in Dayun Dynasty, and in modern times, they could just exchange some money to buy some daily necessities. In modern times, it didn't matter to her whether she had a household registration or not. Her own safety was more important.

Xu Xu asked fearfully, "Is it not possible to do it?"

Seeing that she was so scared that her face turned pale, Xu Ziqing thought she was not feeling well: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Xu shook his head: "No, can I not apply for the household registration?"

"You..." Xu Ziqing asked uncertainly, "Are you afraid of applying for an ID card?"

Xu Xu didn't say anything, but just looked at her innocently with his eyes wide open.

Xu Ziqi also thought that the household registration system in ancient times was very strict: "Xu Xu, is it difficult to get household registration over there?"

"Those without household registration are refugees. To apply for household registration, you need various certificates, such as certificates from clansmen, neighbors, and village heads. If you don't explain clearly, you may be treated as a refugee, or even a wanted criminal, a spy, or something like that."

"It's okay. Although the procedures here are very strict, as long as you haven't committed any crime and are confirmed to be a Chinese citizen, you should still be able to register your household registration." Xu Ziqing reassured very optimistically.

"You can check the application process online." Xu Ziqi glanced at her. In order to ease Xu Xu's mood, he did not refute her. He picked up his mobile phone and began to check the process of handling household registration.

After searching for a long time, I found that people without household registration still need to provide some identity documents to register their household registration. People like Xu Xu cannot provide any proof documents at all.

If she wants to frequently visit this place in the future, it would be better for her to register her household registration there. Otherwise, if she meets a policeman on the street asking for her ID card one day, she would be in trouble.

Xu Ziqing also saw the detailed application process and said with disappointment, "I still need supporting documents. Where can I find them? I can't just tell the truth."

Although Xu Xu didn't hold out any hope at the beginning, he still felt a little disappointed when he heard that he might not be able to obtain his household registration.

"It's not impossible, but I need to go out and take a look first." After saying that, Xu Ziqi rode out on his electric scooter.

Xu Ziqi walked around the foot of Lingshan Mountain several times, confirmed that there were no surveillance cameras installed around, and continued to stroll around the village on his electric scooter.

He found that there were surveillance cameras only at the entrances and exits of the village, the village committee, and a kindergarten, and there were no other places installed, so he felt relieved.

After returning home, Xu Ziqi said: "There is no surveillance in the village. We need to find a reasonable reason for our appearance, and the place where we appeared is not within the surveillance range."

"There's no surveillance in the village." Xu Ziqing said in surprise, "And I didn't even know about it."

Xu Ziqi looked at her helplessly: "Is this question important now?"

"Why is it not important? Without surveillance, there is no security." Xu Ziqing retorted instinctively.

"Okay, okay, it's very important." Xu Ziqi said unhappily, "But the most important thing right now is to solve Xuxu's household registration problem first."

"Okay, how do you want to write the story?" Xu Ziqing asked.
