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

Chapter 39 Fake Jin's sister makes a living by collecting scrap 17

Another hollow copper coin has an even more interesting origin and should be a product of the Jin and Yuan dynasties.

The little person in a skirt on the copper coin represents a woman, and the fish next to it symbolizes wealth.

This kind of hollow coin is cast using openwork carving techniques and auspicious patterns. It is a kind of coin used to ward off evil.

When the figure sways in the dim moonlight, the shadow passing through the coin also sways, which is consistent with the characteristics of hollow coins.

As for why the two copper coins stuck together, it is very likely that the two copper coins were buried deep in the soil for a long time.

Being affected by factors such as humidity and temperature changes in the soil for a long time causes oxidation reaction on the surface of the copper coins, forming copper rust, which in turn sticks the two copper coins together.

The stall owner finally gave Sirong a longevity peach-shaped ornament as a keychain. It was also a coin and should be a product of the Qing Dynasty.

"Longevity comes first among the five blessings." Casting coins in the shape of longevity peaches symbolizes longevity, good fortune and warding off evil.

At the time, high-ranking officials and prominent figures often wore specially minted peach-shaped coins. It's said that even the Qing emperor wore longevity peach coins with the inscription "May the Emperor Live Forever." (This is fabricated by the author and cannot be verified. Don't believe it.)

When we arrived at Nie Feng's shop, we exchanged pleasantries first, and then spent a long time making tea and getting dried fruits.

Old Liu and he had been partners for many years. He was the shrewdest man. He was so curious that he called and repeatedly reminded him that he was one of them and asked him to be honest.

Sirong took out the string of copper coins, cut the rope on the spot and picked out the special copper coins, which shocked Nie Feng for a long time.

It looks like this was just bought from the market. This girl is so lucky.

People say it’s a good time to pick up bargains, but there aren’t that many bargains for you to pick up.

To put it bluntly, this is just a gimmick. If there is no such big bargain, who will buy the leftover junk?

The things on the stalls have been sifted countless times by veterans in the industry. When they have finally picked out everything they can find, they put them on the stalls to be disposed of.

It can't just be left gathering dust in the warehouse.

Those who can find a bargain there can only give a thumbs up and say, "You are so lucky."

And the little girl who came today is not only lucky, but also extremely lucky.

A hundred yuan in exchange for three copper coins, is this just luck? In his opinion, this is metaphysics, okay?

Nie Feng's judgment was basically the same as that of 571, except that he gave a different explanation for the two copper coins stuck together.

Two copper coins put together are often seen as a symbol of good luck. This combination not only represents the accumulation of wealth, but also implies the double blessing of good luck and success.

Moreover, these two coins are not ordinary copper coins. They are coins with various beautiful meanings, which makes the value of these two copper coins more than double.

In ancient times, money was also called "quan", which is homophonic with "quan". Two copper coins together can also mean "shuangquan", which means perfection and success in all aspects.

In short, in a nutshell, it is good, extremely good, and a good thing that is rarely seen in a century.

Nie Feng said that if she trusted him, she could leave these copper coins with him. Jinghai held a small private auction every month, and he was sure that there would be no problem selling these three copper coins to Sirong for five or six million.

Nie Feng usually charges a 10% commission for such sales.

For Old Man Liu's sake, just give him 8%.

Furthermore, he felt that the family in front of him must have some good fortune. Even if not, they were still a family with endless blessings.

There is definitely no harm in making friends with such people.

In short, he just believes in metaphysics, so what.

Although he couldn't explain it clearly, who would want to work with a unlucky person?

Anyway, he just felt that chatting with this family was refreshing.

Si's mother sat next to them, listened to them finish talking about the business, and then heard Sirong recount the process of buying copper coins.

His mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg. After a long pause, he reached out and touched the back of Si Qi's head, saying, "My daughter, you must study hard. Look at that guy selling things at the street stall. He suffered from his lack of education."

This made everyone in the room laugh uncontrollably.

Si Qi, who was struggling with the sugar man, smiled sweetly at her mother: "Don't worry, Mom, I don't have any trouble studying. If you don't believe me, ask my brother."

What Si's mother said makes sense. You said you've entered the antiques industry. Why not learn more? Do you really think you're dealing with junk?

Putting aside other things, if that young man could recognize the mountain ghost coin at that time, would he not have to set up a street stall now?

It's the late 1990s now, what does five or six million mean?

At that time, the average monthly salary was less than one thousand!

If you say you can't recognize me, then you can't recognize me. You were quite generous and gave me a free gift.

Really, if that guy knew that the coin he gave away could be sold for one or two hundred thousand, he would probably cry to death.

Thinking about that poor little brother, Sirong really wanted to say to him, "You are a really nice person."

Mrs. Si was a little worried about leaving the copper coins here, so she asked Nie Feng when the auction would start and whether they could attend.

Nie Feng glanced at the calendar. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be a week later.

If they wanted to join, it would be no problem with his introduction. It would be best if they could join, as it would save him the trouble of running back and forth to pass on the message.

Si Rong saw that both Mr. and Mrs. Si wanted to stay and attend the auction, so she gave the address of the guesthouse to Nie Feng and asked him to call them when he had any news.

It’s okay to go back a few days late. Before leaving, I left a key to my house with my neighbor, so there’s nothing to worry about.

It’s a rare opportunity to come to Jinghai, so I decided to take Si’s parents with me to play for a few more days.

Si Haoyu has to go back to school tomorrow. The school starts on time, and the silly boy has to go back to participate in military training.

Sirong decided that the three of them would take their old father to climb the Great Wall tomorrow.

We hadn't originally planned to go there, mainly because Mr. Si was in a wheelchair and it was difficult for him to climb the stairs.

But Sirong was here. She found two wooden boards from the guesthouse and placed them on the steps so that we could just push the wheelchair up.

Most people definitely can’t do it because they don’t have the physical strength to do it.

It was good enough that I could climb up by myself, I didn’t have the strength to push another person up, but Sirong could.

There is a bus to the Great Wall at the door of the guesthouse. It departs at 5 o'clock every morning. You can register in advance at the front desk of the guesthouse, and someone will come to arrange for you to get on the bus the next day.
