Chapter 544 Go shopping with me tonight

Chen Yong speculated that such a person had a huge power and could make the boss of the General Administration of Cultural Heritage beautify people. Chen Yong did not think about it anymore, anyway, these people had nothing to do with him.

Time flies quickly. After dinner, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. The four of them drank a few glasses of wine. Tan Guohua was a little drunk. The three of them sent Tan Guohua home. After leaving Tan Guohua's house, Chen Yong asked Huang Dong: "Where are you living now?"

Huang Dong said: "Just in a small hotel in front, I paid 50 yuan a night, and there were things there."

Chen Yong said: "I stayed for another night tonight, and I will check in the room tomorrow morning. I will stay at Chen Yuan's house tomorrow night. His family has many houses."

Huang Dong nodded, said goodbye to Chen Yong, and walked to the small hotel. Chen Yong saw that it was not too early, so the two of them returned to Yanjia Village. They had to go to bed early tonight, get up at five o'clock tomorrow, go to the legendary ghost market, and now they are called Tianguangxu to see if they can get good items.

At five o'clock the next morning, Chen Yong got up, finished washing up, and walked towards Wenchang North Road with his backpack. Before dawn, it was still dark around. After walking out of Yanjia Village and coming to the streets of Shangjiu Road, there were street lights. After walking for more than ten minutes, he arrived at Tianguangxu, Wenchang North Road.

The word "Tianguangxu" only appears in Cantonese-speaking areas (Cantonese "Tianguang" means "Tianguang"). "Xu" is the name of market in the southern Chinese language, and Ganji is also called "Zhenxu". Tianguangxu, Wenchang North Road, is one of the oldest Tianguangxu in Zhujiang City. Tianguangxu is a north-south road with a total length of about 1.2 kilometers and a width of 12 meters. Tianguangxu has a long history and first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. After the baptism of historical wars, the place has been continuously transferred. Since the Qing Dynasty, this Tianguangxu has always existed and closed after liberation. It did not appear again until the 1980s.

At five o'clock in the morning, the north road of Wenchang was crowded with people, and merchants traveling from all over the country, bringing "baby" from all over the country, selling antiques and jade, Hengshui snuff bottles, Jiangsu embroidery, Jingdezhen porcelain, Shaanxi bronze ware, old clocks, lonely ancient books, famous calligraphy and paintings, domestic old cameras, various incense burners and candlesticks, copper locks, copper irons, copper snuff bottles, radios of different ages... Anyone with a little vintage can be sold at a price. They also purchased various local "baby" and brought them to the mainland for sale, forming huge sales chains.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Tianguangxu is an extremely free trading market with no price tags or after-sales service. Once the goods are sold, the money will be clear, and the quality of the goods will be fine and the seller will have nothing to do with the seller. When buying things in Tianguangxu, you do not ask where they come from, but only ask the price. If you want to find a leak, you must be quick-witted. During the popularity of the people, the stalls in the Ruins often extend to the surrounding alleys.

Before 5 a.m., the stalls on site were already filled with goods from the owner. The sky was lit up slightly and the voices began to rush. After 6 a.m., buying and selling began to climax, with more than tens of thousands of people on site at the peak of the crowd.

The transaction volume here is considerable, with antiques worth thousands or even over ten thousand yuan sold at times. Nearly a thousand vendors from the province and all over the country gather here to trade various antiques, old books, old furniture, and old handicrafts. Tianguangxu, Wenchang North Road, has become a holy place for bargain pickers.

Chen Yong checked the stalls one by one, walked through about a dozen stalls, and finally stopped at a stall selling ancient coins and squatted down. The stall was mainly made of copper coins. The stall owner was in his fifties and was talking Cantonese and talking to a customer.

Chen Yong looked carefully and found that the stall was very colorful and sold all of them from the copper coins of the Guangdong Province. The stall owner put the copper coins in a plastic box according to the size of the face value. The box was not big, only about 20 to 30 kilograms. There were 4 boxes in total, each box was full. Chen Yong picked up one casually. This copper coins were made by Guangxu Tongbao in Guangdong Province.

Guangdong copper coins were reported to the court in the 13th year of Guangxu (1887) and the Guangdong-Guangzhou Governor Zhang Zhidong, who established the Guangdong Mint and the Guangdong Coin Bureau Baoguang Bureau. In 1888, the machine was introduced to the Xidun factory in Birmingham, England, and the mechanical copper coins were produced in 1889. It was also the first batch of mechanical coins in the history of Chinese coins. Guangxu Tongbao Square Hole was one qian. It began to be circulated and issued in 1900.

Guangdong copper coins are divided into five categories: Guangdong Province is made of Guangxu Tongshi, Guangdong Province is made of Guangxu Yuanbao, the Qing Dynasty copper coins with the character "国" and the Guangdong Xian version of copper coins and Wuyang copper coins.

Chen Yong held the Guangxu Tongbao square hole 1 qian, which was perforated, and the circulation was large and the collection value was not high. He picked a whole box, but did not find that it was of collection value. He changed another box. This box was full of 20-month Guangxu Yuanbao. After a quick look, he changed another box.

This box is a hodgepodge of denominations, including Guangxu Yuanbao ten-month, and there are also five immortals to one immortal. They accidentally picked up a copper coin. This is a coin made of red copper. The five sheep 1 immortal made in the 25th year of the Republic of China. The quality is similar and perfect. This is a copper coin. Later generations are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. The reason why the five sheep 1 immortal became a treasure is that it has a small output. When it was issued in the Republic of China, the people believed that the pattern of copper coins was ominous (sheep entered the mouth of the tiger). It stopped production and recycling and melted down less than a year after it was issued and circulated. The issuance time was short and it was very rare among the people.

Chen Yong started to pick the red copper ones first. Because the colors of the red copper are different and they are very easy to pick, this one is amazing, and there are more than 100 red copper ones. Chen Yong was not calm now. In Chen Yong's memory in his previous life, there were only more than 2,000 records in China. Chen Yong put a bunch of red copper ones first and then picked them up.

After picking for a while, he looked at it carefully. This was a square hole in the inner part of Guangxu Tongbao made of brass, which was larger and thicker than the average Guangxu Tongbao. Chen Yong was very sure that this was a sample coin. The so-called sample coin is to first create a sample coin, and after approval, it will be produced according to this sample coin. The diameter will be small and the thickness and weight will be relatively reduced during production. Because of the rare collection value, this coin will be worth more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan in the future. When it was halfway, Chen Yong held a coin in his hand.

The copper coin he had never seen in later generations. This copper coin was made of brass, with four characters in Manchu "Baochang" in the center of the front, "Guangxu Yuanbao" and "Built in Guangdong Province" above the bead circle, "Two hundred pieces for one yuan" at the bottom; the bead circle on the back, the bead circle has ten flying dragons, the bead circle has recorded the English "Guangdong" above the bead circle, and the English "Banxian" is recorded the value below. Chen Yong's heart beat violently. The bronze monarch is a treasure, a half immortal flying dragon. Chen Yong has searched for the whole life in his previous life, but he has never seen the real thing until his death. He even has the collector Mr. Ma Dingxiang only has rubbings and no real thing.

This is a magical copper coin.

This made Chen Yong very happy, and he didn't dare to have most of his expressions. He was afraid that the stall owner would be happy in his heart.

If people know that he has such a copper coin in his hand and does not even have a collection in a museum, his home will be broken.

Chen Yong calmed down his mood.

I put this half-immortal flying dragon and the five sheep and one immortal together. I started to pick it up again. Most of the remaining ones were made by Guangxu ingots in Guangdong Province. The amount of ten cents was large and the collection value was not high.

Among the last dozen coins, Chen Yong saw two brass coins without holes. He picked them up and looked at them. It was a one-coin trial coin with Guangxu Tongbao. The difference between this brass trial coin is that it does not penetrate the square hole in the middle, but there is a square in the middle.
