Chapter 113 Learn something 1
Faced with the old woman's pleading, Feng Qingxue hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to the deal. She took out twenty pounds of cornmeal and ten pounds of flour in exchange for the two pieces of soapstone, a box of pine smoke ink and a book given by the old woman. Copybook and a Qing Dynasty official kiln brush washer.
The old woman felt a little embarrassed, after all, these things were worthless now.
Jewelry and fine clothing are considered to be the source of corruption in capitalism. Only hedonists will pay attention to these. Therefore, the country’s banks recycle gold and silver coins, even if they do not accept jewelry and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings cannot be sold at a high price. Those who have these things in their hands People can only quietly go to the black market to try their luck, because after all, there are people in the world who know the goods and some people like them.
So, after the transaction was completed, the old woman stuffed a small cloth bag into Feng Qingxue before leaving.
Feng Qingxue waited for her to leave before opening the cloth bag, and found that it contained a very exquisitely carved jade pendant. It was the finest white jade made of Hetian seeds. It was delicate and shiny, pink and white, with a gold-sprinkled skin. Although it was not as high as The whiteness of mutton-fat jade was only a sliver away. Half a century later, many jade dealers sold it as mutton-fat jade.
After collecting the things she exchanged for today, Feng Qingxue went to the scrap station for a walk, and before going home, she went to visit Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu.
Uncle Xu was not at home, and Aunt Xu smiled when he saw her, "Qingxue, you came just in time. Our old friends brought us a lot of good things. I wanted to ask you to exchange for some fine grain for the New Year, but I have to trouble you again." ”
"What's the trouble? Auntie's friends have given me a lot of things." It's just an exchange, everyone gets what they need.
Aunt Xu pulled her into the house and handed her four wooden boxes of different sizes.
"They are all the families I have helped before. It is about life and death. We are not afraid of them leaking secrets. Moreover, if it is not a good thing, they can't take it. After all, no matter how good it is, it cannot be compared to hard currency."
"What good things did you give me?" Feng Qingxue said with a smile, and at the same time opened the box, she couldn't help but feel shocked.
The good things that Aunt Xu calls are really good things and can be called the best.
A set of old-fashioned ruby heads, gold wire craftsmanship, needless to say the quality, every ruby has reached the standard of pigeon blood red, especially the gems inlaid on the five-tailed phoenix hairpin, which are red and large, bright and flawless, and full of brilliance. color.
A Laokeng glass jadeite bracelet, although there is not a pair, but there are pendants, rings and earrings made of the same material, all inlaid with platinum bases from the Republic of China era. The texture of the jadeite is clear and full of water, which is the most rare. It was full of green and crystal clear. It was the best jade that Feng Qingxue had never seen before in this life. It would definitely be worth hundreds of millions in half a century.
The largest long box contains a scroll. When unfolded, it is the original work of Wu Daozi, which is a priceless treasure.
There is only one ring in the smallest box, a huge fancy vivid blue diamond ring, bright and shining. Its design style is exactly the same as the set of pink diamond jewelry I got before, but its value is far better than that. A set of diamond jewelry.
After reading them one by one, Feng Qingxue was shocked.
"These things are too precious!" She felt that no matter how much food she had, she couldn't get rid of them.
Aunt Xu waved her hand, "What's the use of being precious? In troubled times, everyone hides the most precious things in their hands, but these things should not be eaten or drunk, just like the person who climbs a tree with only a gold ingot in his pocket when there is a flood. It’s the same as those who bring food. If I had hid less jewelry and antiques and more food, I wouldn’t be where I am now.”
