Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

Chapter 38 Fake Jin's sister makes a living by collecting scrap 16

Copper coins with the shape of the earth and the sky were strung together in strings with fine hemp ropes and placed on a blue cloth.

Next to it was a piece of waste paper with the words "One hundred yuan a bunch, not sold individually" written on it.

Sirong fixed the brakes on Sifu's wheelchair, then squatted down and picked up a string of copper coins to look at it.

Judging from the visual, there are about fifty or sixty pieces in a string, and the average price is about one yuan and fifty cents to two yuan per piece.

The stall owner was a young man with a short crew cut. He was wearing a double-breasted Tang Dynasty jacket with his chest open. He had his hands tucked into his sleeves and was standing with one foot in front of the other, zigzagging.

He glanced at Sirong and said, "Pick whatever you want, but you can't unbundle it."

I turned around and continued chatting with the stall owner next to me, glancing at the stall from time to time to make sure the goods were not stolen.

Sirong ran her hand over the strings of copper coins, most of which were Xining treasures.

Xining Chongbao is a copper coin from the Northern Song Dynasty, minted during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song. Based on different sizes and calligraphy styles, Xining Chongbao coins can be divided into several versions, including Xiaoping and Zheer. Zheer and Zheer are further divided into official script and seal script, for a total of five types.

When Wang Anshi carried out the reform, the amount of coins minted in the Northern Song Dynasty reached its peak, resulting in the circulation of Xining Chongbao reaching as high as 30 billion pieces.

This has also led to an increase in the number of coins in existence. In addition, now everyone wants to collect the Five Emperors' Coins or something like that, so Shunzhi Tongbao and Kangxi Tongbao have a bigger market.

In each string of copper coins, there are basically a dozen or twenty Xining Zhongbao coins, and then mixed in with a few Jiaqing Tongbao or Qianlong Tongbao coins.

Others are large, shiny coins that have been worn out to the point where there are no words or patterns on them at all.

Sirong was looking around inside and saw something that was not in the shape of a copper coin. It also had a hole in the middle, but it was not square, but round.

There are no words like XX Tongbao on it, but it is a hollow metal item.

If you look closely, you can see a fish and a little person wearing a skirt on it.

Turning to the other side, it looks like a diagram of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams.

Seeing Sirong studying the coin, the stall owner thought she was annoyed by the fact that he had strung all sorts of things on it, so he said, "If you don't like it, try another string. It might have been dark when you were stringing it, so you mistook it for a coin."

Sirong smiled at the stall owner and said, "It's okay, just this one." Then she took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the stall owner.

The young man happily took the money. This was the first deal of the day. Seeing Sirong's attitude of paying the money happily, he knew that today's business would definitely go smoothly.

He casually took out a small toy in the shape of a longevity peach from his waist bag and threw it to Sirong.

"We just opened today, so I'm giving you a little toy to play with as a gift. It would also be nice as a keychain."

Sirong thanked the stall owner with a smile, then returned to Si's father and pushed him forward.

Si Mu picked out two pairs of similar gourd-shaped earrings for the two sisters. The stall owner there was a talkative man and told Si Mu that gourds symbolize blessings, good fortune, luck, longevity and so on.

I was so happy to tell Si's mother about it. I had already thought that the two pairs of small gourds were cute because of their round and plump shape. When I heard that the meaning was so good, I did not hesitate at all.

Then she focused on gourd-shaped jewelry and found one for both the couple and Si Haoyu.

Si Haoyu's is a pendant that can be used as a necklace. I will get him a red string to hang it around his neck, and it’s okay to put it inside his clothes when he goes to school.

The one for Si's father and mother is a pair of jade pendants, two gourds and a vine, which are very beautiful.

According to Si's mother, before, we were like grasshoppers on the same rope, neither of us could escape. Now, we are like melons on the same vine, neither of us can leave the other.

A few people walked around for the whole morning and didn't even finish half of the market.

I found a restaurant to have a meal and rest my feet, and continued fighting in the afternoon.

Mr. Si wanted to buy a purple clay teapot. He usually used a large teapot to make tea. He did have a set of porcelain tea sets at home, which he only used when guests came.

After becoming close friends with Old Man Liu, they talked about everything under the sun, which broadened Si's horizons.

He also wanted to be more particular and get a purple clay teapot and drink tea from the spout every day.

If the price is not too expensive, I will buy one for Brother Liu as well.

Sirong naturally agreed to Si's father's request. However, after lunch, Sirong asked them to wait for her in the restaurant.

I went out and called Old Man Liu. Boguxuan had a landline phone, which made it convenient for Old Man Liu to contact buyers when he got something good.

It was Liu Yan who answered the phone. When she heard that it was Sirong looking for her father, she asked her to hang up first and wait for a while. She went upstairs to ask him to come down and call him.

At this time, the phone charges are still calculated by the minute, and Liu Yan doesn't want Sirong to waste those few minutes.

Not only is Old Liu proud of their family, but Liu Yan also particularly likes the child Sirong.

A girl in her twenties is at the age when she cares about her reputation. How many children can accompany their parents to collect waste and make money?

Not to mention accompanying them, some girls might even feel embarrassed that their parents are doing this.

Sirong waited by the phone for a while and then received a call from Old Man Liu.

After exchanging a few simple greetings and telling them that they had a great time in Jinghai, Sirong got down to business.

She told Old Man Liu that she might have received something good again, and asked him if he had any reliable friends in Jinghai who could give her a thumbs-up. Or should she wait until she brought the item back and asked him for help?

Upon learning that Sirong had bought a few copper coins, Old Liu quickly stopped her from taking them back.

But don’t, if he does that, he will have to contact Jinghai’s people again, which will be a waste of time.

He asked Sirong to wait for him for a moment, found the phone book, and asked Sirong to take notes over there.

He told Sirong to go to a friend of his named Nie in Jinghai, who was trustworthy and would not frame her. After giving her his phone number and detailed address.

He asked her to contact him again in five minutes and called Lao Nie first.

Nie Feng's shop was in this market. After hanging up the phone, Sirong returned to the hotel to pick up her family and walked towards the shop that Nie Feng told her about.

When 571 got the string of copper coins, he told Sirong that there were two copper coins with a hollowed-out side and a Bagua pattern on the other side. They were stuck together for some reason.

One of them is a Qing Dynasty Mountain Ghost Coin, a carrier used by Qing Dynasty Taoists to cast spells to exorcise demons and exorcise evil spirits, also known as a magic instrument. After being consecrated by the Taoist, people are encouraged to hang it in their homes or carry it with them for safety.

The exposed side has the Bagua diagram, and the side glued to the hollow copper coin should be the Leigong Curse.
