That Alto is out of gas. There's no way I can drive the car back to Hebei from Northeast China, it's too damn far.
chilly.
I have no mobile phone, no ID card, no bank card, and not a dime on me! The top priority is to find a way to get some money quickly to buy some thick clothes, and then buy a ticket and take the train back to Zhengding to meet up with Baotou and the others.
If I don’t steal or rob, how can I get some money?
Three words.
"Deceive people."
In fact, I can’t say that I’m deceiving people. It doesn’t sound good. I should say that I’m using my knowledge to exchange money within the framework allowed by the law.
At that time, there was no large-scale antique market in Jiamusi, and it was all scattered. Later, when the Great World Mall was built, there was a large-scale antique market on the fourth floor.
I still remember that there was a textile building at that time, and there was a car shed behind the building. There were about thirty or forty people in the shed setting up stalls selling antiques and cultural relics.
At that time, I was walking around the shed with my sleeves on my sleeves, and was suddenly attracted by a large black clay pot placed on a stall.
The large clay pot had its mouth open and was stained with soil, as if it had just been dug out of the ground. It was filled with a pot full of green copper coins.
"Good guy, boss, this big money jar was just unearthed, right? How much does it cost?" I stopped and asked.
The boss is a man in his fifties, wearing a coat and with a local accent.
As soon as he looked at me, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Go! Go, go to the other side. How much can you afford? I think you look like a stinky beggar!"
"Forehead "
I thought to myself that I was a little down and out, but I didn’t look like a beggar!
So I pointed to the big money jar and said with a smile: "Boss, you must be asking for fifty or sixty thousand for this thing, right? Let me calculate for you, this jar contains about fifty kilograms of copper coins, which are all worthless copper coins from the Northern Song Dynasty. One kilogram
The copper coins of the Northern Song Dynasty are about 30 yuan, and the cost is only one thousand and fifty yuan. If you add this worthless rotten pottery jar from the Song Dynasty, you get two hundred yuan, so the cost of making this money jar is about one thousand.
About seven.”
Upon hearing what I said, the boss's expression changed drastically. He said loudly: "You are talking nonsense! I just dug it out of the ground last week!"
"Dig it out? Do you have any valuable copper coins here? I asked.
"Who knows?"
He said anxiously: "Do you understand the gambling tube? It's all rusty! I can't see any money in it! Maybe there are Jingkang Tongbao from the Northern Song Dynasty, Huangyou Yuanbao! and Jianguo Tongbao!"
I thought there was a ghost inside, and it must be full of worthless Yuanfeng Tongbao and Xining Yuanbao.
He must have made this big jar himself. The problem is that the technique is too rough, the rust color of the money in the jar is too fake, and the arrangement is wrong, which can be seen by a discerning person at a glance.
Seeing that I refused to leave and buy, the boss looked ugly. He immediately lowered his voice and said to me: "Boy, I know you are a colleague, so don't look for trouble, don't block my way of making money."
I smiled and said, "I'm not looking for trouble, brother, do you want to get rich?"
"How to make a fortune?" He was stunned.
I pointed at the big jar and whispered: "I have a top-secret formula here that will allow you to make this fake jar so perfect that even the most powerful experts will not be able to spot it once it is made."
"Really? Boy, you are bragging to make me laugh, right?" His expression was obviously unbelieving.
I laughed again and said, "Believe it or not, if you use my formula to make jars and sell two jars a year, you can easily earn hundreds of thousands."
He looked a little moved and said, "Come and listen."
I said: "Brother, how can I say it in vain?"
"Let me tell you clearly, I am in trouble now and need two thousand dollars urgently.
The money is needed for emergencies. If you believe me, then give me two thousand yuan! I will teach you this secret recipe! On the other hand, brother, if you don’t believe it and say you don’t want to make this windfall, then I will leave immediately."
I smiled and said, "Brother, do you want to take a gamble? If you win the bet, you will be rich in luxury cars and villas for the rest of your life. If you lose the bet, you will only lose two thousand yuan."
He thought for a long time, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it! Just bet! Just two thousand yuan? I can afford to pay!"
I said you will definitely not lose money. Don’t worry, the two thousand yuan you spent will definitely be worth it and you will learn real skills.
Next he took out two thousand yuan and gave it to me. I counted it once and put the money in my pocket. Then I asked him to take a note and write it down and told him the secret recipe.
First of all, you must not use glue. The money jars he made are stuck with glue. When the money in the jar is pried open, the surface will reflect white light and even stick to your hands.
Have these things ready.
Pigskin, black soil, wool wheel, fine sandpaper, polishing paste, a few packs of oil-based markers.
Before starting work, you must first understand that in the Northeast, money jars excavated generally do not develop green rust, and are basically in a coppery state of original color. Moreover, the tubes are very loose and can generally be pried open with fingernails.
So the specific operation method is.
Prepare fifty pounds of loose copper coins. Use fine sandpaper and a woolen wheel to brush the coins to imitate the traces of natural wear and tear.
Spread the copper coins on the ground, cover the head with a whole pigskin, and press the pigskin with a heavy object for ten days.
Within ten days, the pig skin will slowly seep oil.
This kind of pressed pigskin oil is the best material for making old patties. Even the experts can’t tell when it’s done.
Then remove the pig skin, spread a layer of northeastern black soil on the bottom of the empty jar, and spread the copper coins into the jar layer by layer.
One thing to note here is that the layer of copper coins in the middle is best strung with hemp rope.
The hemp rope used must be boiled in 100-degree boiling water and alkaline noodles for 24 hours. Such hemp rope will age quickly and break at the slightest touch, thus simulating the effect of hemp rope aging underground for thousands of years.
In the last step, take out the refill of the oil-based marker and mix it into clean water to make a pot of oily black water. Pour the oily black water evenly along the edge of the large jar.
Cover it, bury it in a cool place for three to six months, and then take it out.
You're done.
No matter how you look at the money jar made in this way, the texture, coating, wear, arrangement, and aging are all exactly the same as the real jars unearthed in Northeast China. Except for the person who made the jar, experts can't tell.
At this point, I might as well tell you another industry secret.
In the early years, the only effects that could not be achieved with bobbin money were cinnabar rust and thousand-year crystal rust, but later this problem was overcome by the people of Guangxi.
A few guys from Guangxi spent more than 100,000 yuan to find a professor from a certain chemical engineering college in Beijing to prepare a chemical potion that can perfectly produce crystalline rust.
To this day, those Guangxi guys are still making a lot of fake jars every year.
It’s hard to tell whether these jars are genuine or not. I don’t know how many people have been tricked. I initially estimate that the amount involved may be over 100 million. The main sales are private collectors in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou and some online live broadcast rooms.
So, if anyone is playing this game, once they know that the jar is from Guangxi or sold by someone in Guangxi, then stop playing it, it’s all fucking fake.
In this way, I got two thousand yuan. I first bought a second-hand mobile phone, reported it to the boss that it was safe, and then bought new clothes.
I originally planned to go back to Zhengding, but suddenly I changed my mind.
I bought a ticket from Jiamusi to Siping.
Doctor Fan is still in my hometown.
I haven’t been back for more than four years. I want to go back to Mohe to see my grandma.
