Chapter 247 Antique Vendor
Chapter 247 Antique vendor
When a person's attention is immersed in something, time always passes so quickly!
"I said Xiao Jia, I was thinking about why you haven't come here so late yet. I was thinking about whether to call you, but when I came out, I saw that you were indeed on Xiao Ma's side. You said, why didn't I wait for you here in advance? I wasted my precious time..." Jia Sidao was looking at the copper coins on Xiao Ma's stall, frowned, and when he was thinking about something, a familiar voice came.
Jia Sidao looked up and saw that it was A San who had made an appointment to meet.
However, the first joke of Ah San was: "You kid, it seems that you have suffered a lot after going to Jieyang. You have lost a few pounds, right?" As he said that, he walked to Jia Sidao's side, put one hand on Jia Sidao's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "I'm talking about the quality of the women in Guangdong,? Is it better than the Jiangnan in our place?"
"Go to you. You're not serious! Are you afraid that your family has any ideas?" Jia Sidao said angrily. He smiled bitterly. Who do you know? However, when he thought of the first time he met A San, it was because he wanted to pick up girls together. Jia Sidao's mouth naturally showed a smile.
And because of the sense of estrangement between the two people who had been separated for more than half a month, they also disappeared without a trace in such jokes!
"Xiaoma, how is the business today?" Asan looked at Xiaoma and asked politely. However, Xiaoma did not react like Jia Sidao. She spread her hands and pointed to the stall where there were still a lot of things. She chuckled and said, "Asan. Have you brought a few items?" The meaning was self-evident.
"Okay, you can't hide it from me. There are not many things left this week that I saw last week." A San glanced casually and said the key points of dismounting. "Should you invite us to have a meal?"
"Why, follow me to my house first?" Xiao Ma said in his spare time.
"Uh, you're ruthless!" A San was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. After thinking about it, he said, "By the way, I have something to do with Xiao Jia, so we won't disturb your business here. Let's go, Xiao Jia, go to Uncle Zhou's side." As he said that, he pulled Jia Sidao away.
Xiao Ma looked at Jia Sidao and A San's behavior of running away in panic, and couldn't help but smile kindly.
"I said A San, why did Xiaoma go to his house to see it? Why did you have nothing to answer?" Jia Sidao thought, with A San's ability to make jokes, he would not have been defeated so quickly in front of Xiaoma.
"Go to his house?" Asan said with a wry smile, "You will know when you arrive at his house..." Perhaps seeing Jia Sidao's expression of confusion, Asan patted his shoulder and said, "I said Xiao Jia, you are a good antique, and you have been in trouble for several months. Why don't you have such an idea? When you go out in the future, don't say I'll bring you in."
While saying that, A San shook his head and sighed a few times before saying, "Do you think street vendors like Xiaoma don't have any inventory in his home? Even if I recognize what they were selling last week, even if most of those things have already taken action, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be some similar things in the home..."
Jia Sidao suddenly felt a little strange in his heart and said, "Don't you just say that if you have good things, you should put them out as soon as possible and take action as soon as possible?"
"That's for such people." A San pointed to a stall on the street of Antiques; there were a lot of things on it, but in Jia Sidao's opinion, most of them were big street goods and had no special value. If you encounter similar stalls in the countryside, there was nothing to say. After all, in Jia Sidao's hometown, many people would still pour in whenever they went to the market.
For example, selling specialties from other regions, or some relatively small and common antiques, it is quite common to set up stalls for sale in lively places in the market. However, there are definitely not many in terms of quantity, and most of the things they are engaged in are exchanged for ancient bronze coins or commemorative methods, such as some commemorative medals from the Republic of China and the beginning of liberation.
Jia Sidao exchanged coins for one cent when he was in junior high school. It seemed that there were coins issued for one cent in several years. Because the quantity was slightly smaller, the exchange price would naturally be appropriately higher.
If you find a complete set of first-class coins on the market now, the price will definitely be more than those on the face value!
In addition, there are people who will collect old things for sacrifices such as old-fashioned candlesticks!
In Jia Sidao's memory, in the past few years, people went to the countryside to collect old carved wooden beds! At that time, an old-fashioned seat from the previous year was relatively valuable. However, in recent years, fewer and fewer people went to the countryside in this way.
Jia Sidao thought, this has something to do with the fact that people's awareness of collecting has become higher and higher in recent years, right?
However, the "yelling" sounds walking in the countryside make people feel a little touched and memorable! Until now, in the ancient city streets on Linhai, there are occasionally some snack vendors shouting, "phoenix eggs", "plum blossom cakes", "sheep horn crisps", etc., and you can still hear some very distinctive shouting jokes! Although even locals like Jia Sidao sometimes don't hear clearly what those people shout, it doesn't matter what kind of friendship they are calling in their hearts!
However, the stall in front of you is placed on the antique street.
Some of the things on it are just similar to those vendors who go to the countryside, it looks a bit shabby, especially in the eyes of Jia Sidao and A San, who are considered insiders, can tell if there is anything worth taking advantage of the things on these small stalls at a glance! Moreover, in most cases, perhaps, you can't even take a look at them.
For a moment, Jia Sidao understood a little. Even the vendors who set up street stalls were divided into levels.
Just like the stall in front of him, it is naturally the kind of place to change the fire. First, their way of collecting things is relatively narrow and they can't produce any good things at all. Second, they will not have any relationship with most experts in the antique industry. In this way, when setting up a stall, they naturally want to put out all their things. As a result, as much as they can, they can do. For them, the immediate benefit is higher than everything.
Even the middle-aged stall owner Jia Sidao met before was just a little higher than these types of vendors.
At least, they will have several collaborators most of the time. Otherwise, who would dare to play "bumping into the car" in public on the antique street?
Xiaoma should be considered to be a relatively "high-end" here. From A San's words, it is not difficult to guess that Xiaoma's family will definitely have a lot of antique inventory, which is used to deal with the off-season purchases and take them out to support the scene. For example, Xiaoma, an antique vendor who uses the stalls on Linhai Antique Street as the base, naturally has to rely on years of "credit" to survive better.
If you are lucky and encounter good antiques, even if you don’t take them out for sale on the street, you can find A San, or use the help of acquaintances like A San to get along with a real expert and let others take them into their hands. If they can’t say that if the things are valuable, they will take them away.
The profits earned by this kind of trading opportunity are much greater than setting up street stalls on antique streets.
Just like Jia Sidao, when he sells jade materials, he will also find the "Zhouji" himself. First, he is not afraid that Uncle Zhou will let Jia Sidao suffer too much, and secondly, he can also bring the relationship between the two parties closer. After this transaction, he often goes around. If there is something in the future, or if there is any antique that is not sure about jade, it will be a matter of nothing to ask Uncle Zhou to help him take a look!
Just as they were thinking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the "Jingji". When they went in, Jia Sidao found that the store was less lively than when Jia Sidao first came. There was no one in the store, and Uncle Zhou was still reading the newspaper. Even Ali was holding a romance novel and it seemed very leisurely. When she saw A San and Jia Sidao come in, she felt a little more interested!
Jia Sidao couldn't help but look at A San, with a little inquiry. However, A San completely ignored him and looked confused. Then he walked over to talk to Uncle Zhou and discussed going to the factory together. Jia Sidao felt a little sad in his heart.
When looking at A San, Jia Sidao glanced at the counter over Ali intentionally or unintentionally.
Speaking of which, after half a month, we came to the "Weekly Diary" again. Except for the lack of Ji Yanran and the few young people attracted by Ji Yanran, the other scenes were so similar. However, Jia Sidao's obvious look at why Ji Yanran didn't come, and A San didn't expect it. I'm afraid that A San's heart at this time was really not as thought as when he first came.
