It costs three yuan to process one bead, and a string of ten or so beads only costs about thirty yuan. What can you do with this little money now?
Therefore, many people are carefully selecting wood.
When Chen Wenzhe took a quick look, he found that there was nothing good at all among the wood.
The best among those woods seems to be peach wood, but these peach trees are very thin. If you choose the core of the wood to process beads, you won't be able to process much from one peach wood.
But, how many people here know Taomu?
Other wood is ordinary soft wood, such as red pine.
It is so easy to process beads from such wood.
Is this the way this stall owner does business? He’s not lying, and the processing fee is not high, but it’s easy to process, so his processing speed is very fast.
After just watching for a while, Chen Wenzhe discovered that the boss had already processed two strings of beads with extremely fast hand speed.
Because the wood is too thin and the wood core is not thick, the naturally processed beads are not very large.
The smaller the beads, the more beads there will be in a string of bracelets, so the number of beads in each string of bracelets must exceed ten.
One string is thirty yuan, and in a short while, two strings are worth sixty yuan.
If you process non-stop throughout the day, it seems like you can make a lot of money.
Twenty strings of beads equals six hundred yuan. How many jobs can there be outside the antique market that can earn six hundred yuan a day?
What's more, everyone is still broadcasting live!
In fact, on-site processing is just a means of attracting people. Where people make money is through online sales.
How many beads can they make on site? How many orders can they get through the Internet?
These beads are really not difficult to produce, the cost is lower, and if there is enough quantity, they are still very profitable.
After taking a few steps forward, I saw that the crowd gathered here was opening walnuts.
It is already October, almost November, and walnuts should be out of season this month.
Green-skinned walnuts can still be bloomed today. Needless to say, they must have been left over from August or September.
As for how to keep it? One is to put it in cold storage, and the other is to use preservatives!
No matter what, there are problems with walnuts that can bloom all year round.
Either it was picked and stored before it was ripe, or a lot of drugs were used.
No matter which method is used, there will be hidden dangers.
There is nothing we can do about this. Who made the price of Wenwan walnuts so low now?
"Little brother, don't you like this?"
Just when Chen Wenzhe shook his head and wanted to leave in disappointment, someone spoke beside him.
Chen Wenzhe took a look and saw that he was an old man, not very old, about fifty or sixty years old!
"I'm a little dissatisfied. This old antique city is very dilapidated, but the stalls here are also very disappointing!"
"Come and take a look at my store?" the old man said with a smile.
Chen Wenzhe was stunned, this was actually the owner of an antique shop?
Looking at the old man, Chen Wenzhe was a little confused. This old man looked a bit like the stall owner playing with walnuts outside!
The old man also stared at Chen Wenzhe. He still had some discernment. Whether it was his clothes or his watch, it could be seen that Chen Wenzhe should be very rich.
Therefore, he has been observing Chen Wenzhe for a long time.
"Do you always have good things?" Chen Wenzhe asked with a smile.
"That's natural. You've been collecting it for decades. Come and take a look. When you come to Chang'an, we always want you to leave satisfied. You can't just see the things that are available in all tourist attractions, right?"
As he said this, the old man pointed to the place where the crowd gathered.
Whether it's turning beads, opening walnuts, or making bracelets, you can find them everywhere. These things are not antiques, nor do they represent an antique city.
After talking for a while, Chen Wenzhe knew that this old man's shop was located in the Baxian Palace Cultural Relics Market.
This cultural relics market, opened in 1993, is the earliest one in Chang'an City.
However, the Baxian Palace Cultural Relics Market, which was famous back then, is now showing its obsolescence.
Narrow stairs and simple facades are symbols of the development and changes of this market.
The old man's name is Qi Hongxing, and his shop is not far behind the walnut stall.
When the old man pointed, Chen Wenzhe saw his store and the dazzling array of products displayed in it.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe is not interested in those stone carvings, pottery basins, etc.
Having just received the baptism of the Forest of Steles, his vision has become higher.
After seeing too many high-quality stone carvings, he could now tell at a glance that many of the stone carvings in front of him were made from modern crafts. Even some old things were handed down from the folk and did not have much artistic value.
In fact, Chen Wenzhe was not interested in such a small shop, but when his eyes fell on the walls of the shop, he saw a lot of calligraphy and paintings.
The first thing I looked at was definitely the calligraphy, followed by the paintings inside. There seemed to be many famous people’s calligraphy and paintings.
Of course, the calligraphy and paintings of famous people are likely to be fakes, but the works of modern artists are not necessarily fake.
After being influenced by the famous calligraphers in the Forest of Steles, Chen Wenzhe's current eyesight is considered to be adequate, although he has not learned much yet.
Therefore, he just took a quick glance and discovered that the calligraphy and paintings in the store were really interesting. At least the calligraphy and painting works he saw seemed a bit real.
The only difference between real and fake works of art is the level of quality!
If the quality is good, even if it is an imitation, it is still very valuable, such as the imitation made by Qi Baishi.
So, Chen Wenzhe suddenly became interested!
He had never dabbled in calligraphy and painting works before, so it would be good to take a look now.
I followed the old man to the store, which made the old man very happy.
Originally, Chen Wenzhe thought that the old man was going to start selling his collection. Unexpectedly, he met a strange person this time, so he didn't encounter sales, but showed off.
The old man Qi Hongxing displayed his collection on the glass counter of his shop.
Chen Wenzhe carefully looked through them one by one. This person turned out to be a professional collector.
There is a coin market on the basement floor of Dahai City Antique City. Chen Wenzhe had visited it before, but he was still a little indifferent to the collection of modern RMB.
However, this collection that I spent so much effort on does look better and higher-end than the piles of coins on the stamp market.
This is a special set of coins, unlike the ones on the market today, where as long as they are original coins, they are sold in piles. What is there worth collecting about such things?
This old man had three sets of banknotes, and these three sets of banknotes took him more than thirty years of hard work.
These three sets of banknotes are the second set, the third set, and the fourth set of RMB that are nearly brand new and complete. The most amazing thing is that the end number of each RMB is "87".
As the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, Chang'an has a large number of collectors, and in recent years, there must be many collectors like Qi Hongxing who focus on a certain special collection.
