"What did you say?" Dad's voice came from the counter.
"I said! How much are these coins?!" Ka Xiu raised his voice so that his father, who was somewhat hard of hearing, could hear him.
"Oh, I heard you. I'll come over and take a look."
After a while, Dad came to the shelf. Card Xiu handed over all the seven or eight coins in his hand.
Sunlight shines through the window into the antique shop, and these copper coins are somewhat reflective. The two of them can clearly see that there is a raised crown logo on the surface of the coin, and even the gems on the crown have traces, and there is a cross on the top.
.
It's just that the cross is slightly tilted to the right.
"These coins are Crown Stars. I'll charge you ten yuan for each. They are not valuable things. But if you are a coin lover, you can try to collect them..."
Dad put down the magnifying glass in his hand and said.
They cost ten yuan each, and the total of eight pieces is only eighty yuan, which is cheap enough.
Card Xiu is actually very principled in his work. If he really encounters an antique that contains the energy of obsession, he will probably buy it back on the spot after absorbing it. Otherwise, even if the shop owner doesn't know about it, Ka Xiu himself will feel a little uncomfortable.
answer.
Of course, if he encounters an antique that is really beyond his tolerance, Ka Xiu will not and does not want to be pretentious.
After all, only he can absorb the energy of obsession, and no one else can identify it. After absorbing the energy of obsession, the antique will still be the same, and the store can still sell it to others to make money.
Regarding the reasonable use of golden fingers to enhance strength.
Ka Xiu has flexible principles.
"Then I bought them all." He paid immediately.
He took out a pale yellow red Lebanese Federation note from his pocket. On the front was the word "hundred", and on the back was a middle-aged man with thick hair and an eye-catching hooked nose. This middle-aged man was from more than a hundred years ago.
The great Grand Duke of Hongli.
"Just wait for me for a while, and I'll go to the counter to give you change."
"Dad, no need. Just use the extra twenty to pay for the edamame sandwich. I actually like the taste of it."
"I'm going to find you a box to put it in." Dad couldn't help but smile when he heard Ka Xiu say that he likes to eat edamame sandwiches, and then picked up a beautiful and exquisite wooden box on the shelf.
Honestly.
The price of this exquisite box alone is more than twenty.
Ka Xiu, who originally wanted to be generous, made money instead. He was a little helpless, but he didn't push back and forth on such a trivial matter.
Sometimes, the old man does this because he thinks highly of you. Excessive humility will make the old man feel that you look down on his good intentions.
Next, Ka Xiu found an opportunity to ask his father about the origin of the coins. These copper coins were obviously from the same series, with a crown on the back and the word fifty on the front.
Although my father is a little forgetful, he knows these antiques very well. The skewed crown on this coin is called the Crown Cross, and the original name is: Saint-Baswis Crown.
Also located in Beijiao Continent, there is the Leint Principality in the north of the Hongli Federation. The Leint Principality was originally a principality under the rule of the Puka Dynasty. Of course, this was hundreds of years ago, and now the Puka Dynasty is gone.
Push forward seven hundred years...
The Grand Duke of Baswe inherited his father's position and became the Duke of Lent, and was later crowned king. During this period, he built the first crown in the history of the Principality of Lent, which was later called the Crown Cross. Because of his religious belief,
A gold cross is placed on the top of the crown, which is very luxurious.
Later, unexpectedly, about two hundred years ago, the crown accidentally fell to the ground, and the golden cross on the top fell crooked.
None of the kings at that time and many subsequent kings wanted to straighten it out, and they were all crowned with crooked crowns. Later fifty lyante coins were printed with a crooked cross crown.
One hundred and fifty years ago, not long after the Red Lebanese Federation was founded, a revolution broke out in the Principality of Lent, and the emperor was pushed to the guillotine. During the beheading, the onlookers threw a large number of coins, which was contaminated by the blood of Wally IV at that time.
blood.
Because of its special significance, many people in later generations have collected this kind of coin. However, this thing is not authentic. There are many fifty liante coins, and there are also many coins from one or two hundred years ago.
No one knows which coins are really stained with the blood of the emperor, so these coins are not valuable. They were very popular when antiques were popular twenty years ago. After all, you only need to spend a little money to buy one.
If you don’t know whether an antique coin is real or fake, you can still brag to your friends about the story behind the coin.
As for now, it is relatively unpopular, and only some coin collecting enthusiasts will buy it. Regarding the origin of the coins in Dad’s antique shop, Dad himself is not sure. Because most of the weird antiques in the store were wandering away from home.
Uncle Yun sent it back. It will take at least a month for Uncle Yun to come back.
"One month... I hope I can stay in Shirakawa City until then." Ka Xiu said goodbye to his father, picked up the box and walked out of the antique store. The streets were empty, with few pedestrians.
Buses and carriages probably won't pass by here.
"It seems that I can only walk to the road by myself first..."
*********************
From two o'clock in the afternoon to three fifty, Kaxiu visited most of the antique stores in Shirakawa City. In fact, most of the time was spent on the road, and searching in the store was very efficient. He only needed to check the newly arrived items in the past two days.
Antiques are fine.
Except for the unexpected gain from my dad’s antique shop, today was just like usual. Instead, I spent more than 100 yuan on the bus fare.
Bang, the shoes hit the hard ground.
A tall young man wearing a wide-brimmed hat stepped off the tram. He raised his head and glanced at Hongta Street not far away. Then he walked over and threw the ticket into the trash can.
With a creak, the door of the Gray Seal Martial Arts Hall was pushed open.
At the counter next to the door, the bat-haired old man was reading the newspaper with great interest, and didn't notice Ka Xiu coming in at all. He didn't notice it until the shadow of his body blocked the pages of the book.
"..." Ka Xiu lowered his head and looked back speechlessly.
The old man wore a layer of Shirakawa City Morning News, but inside was a thick pornographic magazine. On the pages of the book were printed girls with graceful and sexy figures, wearing the most fashionable clothes. There were also some introductory text stories next to it, including body measurements.
"Ahem..." The old man covered the magazine and coughed awkwardly: "Teacher Li Wei is here. Your reserved students are already waiting. This is the key to the training room."
Ka Xiu smiled, took the key and turned around to leave.
"Why is there no sound at all when I walk, like a ghost..."
The old man complained and glanced left and right. Then he calmly resumed his old tricks, lowering his head, shrinking his neck, and squinting his eyes. His wretched and concentrated expression was like that of a pervert.
