Early the next morning, Han Kongque opened his eyes to the sound of Yuan Peng getting dressed. Yuan Peng and Gu Lie stayed at Han Kongque's place yesterday, and Yuan Peng was going to visit his hometown by car this morning.
Han Kongque got up, and just as the boss Chen Qing came to knock on the door, the boss and his wife had gotten up early. They made steamed buns to sell, and would often get up at three o'clock in the morning to make noodles.
"I have prepared breakfast for you, big steamed buns stuffed with beef, and a piece of pumpkin porridge. Eat before you leave." Chen Qing looked at Yuan Peng and said.
"Well, okay big brother." Except for the years when Yuan Peng was in the army, the brothers would often get together at other times. Now that he has returned to his hometown, it will be difficult for him to get together often in the future.
"Well, we have to go back to our hometown for the New Year and the holidays. At most, we can drink together again for half a year." Gu Lie didn't know when he appeared at the door.
"Let's go, the first bus is coming soon." Han Kongque picked up one of Yuan Peng's backpacks. His other things had been sent home long ago, and he only had some odds and ends with him.
Yuan Peng left, and Gu Lie had to report to his girlfriend's place and re-enter the campus to study. Only Chen Qing and Han Kongque were left on the street.
"Brother, hurry up and go to the steamed bun stall, otherwise my sister-in-law will be too busy alone." It was already six o'clock, the sky was completely bright, and there were already a lot of people on the street. It was the busiest time for the steamed bun stall.
"It's okay. With Xiaozhu's help, they can handle it. Second brother, what are your plans for the future?" Chen Qing said.
Han Kongque said: "I rely on mountains to eat mountains, and I rely on water to eat water. Since it is close to the antique street, I will rely on this to make a living in the future."
Chen Qing has also been in the antique street for six or seven years, and he knows this industry very well. This industry is very deep and it is not easy to get mixed up.
Some people get rich overnight here, but many more become paupers overnight. It is really difficult to expect to make a fortune from selling antiques.
I have been here for a long time, and I have seen too many people enter this industry with dreams of getting rich, and most of them ended up going bankrupt and losing everything.
Chen Qing hesitated and said: "I know that among our brothers, you are the most educated, but after living here for so many years, I believe you also know the situation of the Antique Street very well. Do you think you can rely on it?"
Looking for a living?”
Han Peacock looked at the pedestrians on the antique street. None of these people moved very fast. It could be said that they were extremely slow. They walked leisurely by the small stalls one by one. If they saw something that interested them, they would also
I will stop and admire it, and if I am really interested, I will take action.
There are absolutely no people in a hurry here, which is extremely rare in big cities.
"I don't want to live a nine-to-five life anymore. Life here is easy, and I am confident that I can make a living on this. Big brother should believe me." Han Kongque said relaxedly.
"It's good that you have confidence, but you're right to read more and buy less." Chen Qing held it in for a while before saying.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Brother, I didn't expect you to have such wisdom in life. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of newcomer who enters this industry with the hope of picking up leaks. I don't plan to get rich overnight, but I only earn a few bucks every month."
A thousand yuan for living expenses is not a problem."
"Well, as long as you have confidence, I won't say much more. This is the time for Taobao. Since you want to get into this industry, I won't waste your time. You can go shopping!"
"Yeah." Han Kongque didn't say anything. He knew that Chen Qing was worried about him, otherwise he would have gone to help his wife long ago.
Han Peacock had already planned. After all, the Magic City is a big city. Businessmen from all over the country gather here, as well as many wandering merchants and Baofuzhai. These people run around and collect goods from all over the country, so the things here are shipped every day.
Everything is changing, some people are buying and others are selling.
If there is more circulation, naturally there will be more treasures. Of course, this requires eyesight, but in recent years, there have always been fewer good things, so Han Peacock did not think about being lucky enough to find any treasures here and pick up a big leak.
But since he wants to enter this industry, he naturally has his own plans. In this industry, as long as you don’t want to get rich overnight, it is easy to make some small money. Of course, the premise is that you have enough knowledge, enough knowledge and enough experience to make money.
You don't blink.
Han Kongque had naturally planned to resign. In fact, it was an unexpected surprise for him to get the piece of blood jade. Even if he didn't get the piece of treasure, he would still have a way to live well.
Han Kongque had already planned to enter the antique business. He did not play with porcelain, jade, or national treasures. Those were too ethereal. He wanted to start with ancient coins and broken porcelain pieces.
This is mainly because there are too few authentic pieces of those national treasures, calligraphy, painting and porcelain. Although they are more expensive and easier to find, the chances are too small.
The ancient coins and broken porcelain pieces are different. There are a lot of these things on the market. As long as you have the ability, it is difficult to make a fortune from them, but it is too easy to make a living.
Although Han Kongque didn't usually visit the antique street, he was very familiar with the stalls in front of his house, and he had already sat down to do his homework.
Since he had to rely on this to make a living in the future, he naturally treated it as working, so Han Kongque ate four large beef buns and walked out of the house.
As soon as I walked out, I saw Fat Liu squatting behind his stall, drinking soy milk and eating fried dough sticks. It looked very comfortable like that.
Before Han Kongque came closer, Fat Liu saw him and shouted: "Xiao Han, I heard that you resigned. What, you will have to make a living on this street in the future?"
Han Kongque looked around and saw that Lao Ji, who often came here to set up a stall, was not there. Fat Liu was the only one at the entrance of his alley, and even Chen Qian was not there.
"Why are you alone?" Han Peacock said.
Fat Liu chuckled and said, "Old Ji didn't come here today because he had something to do. That old Chen has not been seen since he lost the treasure. I don't know if he went back to his hometown due to the shock or went to collect the treasure."
Han Kongque originally wanted to go past Fat Liu and go directly into the street, but as soon as he walked to his stall, he saw a lot of copper coins placed next to Fat Liu. It looked like they were all in good condition, so he stopped immediately.
Come down.
"When did you start playing with ancient coins?" Han Kongque asked, looking at the copper coins next to Fat Liu.
Fat Liu's eyes had turned away. If Han Kongque valued his things, he would not sell them easily because he believed in Han Kongque's eyesight.
But when Han Kongque focused on the copper coins, he was discouraged again: "The times are hard, and the porcelain here is hard to sell. I have no choice but to add more goods to earn a living."
"Hey, your money is quite new." Han Peacock looked at the pile of shiny copper coins and laughed.
Fat Liu said angrily: "If it had just been unearthed, would I dare to sell it like this?"
Han Peacock said unceremoniously: "If it is really just unearthed, it won't be in your hands. Where did you get it?"
Speaking of this, Fat Liu also laughed: "Don't think you are the only smart one. I didn't spend much money on these copper coins, so I can't lose them anyway. If there is a valuable one in it, then I will make a lot of money."
"
"How to sell it? If it's cheap, I'll take some." Han Peacock squatted down, ready to take a good look.
Fat Liu's batch of copper coins was really quite a lot, and they were piled up around him to form a small mountain of copper. He had just received it, and he didn't know if it had been appraised or not, but with Fat Liu's eyesight, it didn't make much difference whether he saw it or not.
"Are you really planning to get into the industry?" Fat Liu looked at the copper coins around him with his little eyes, not sure to pay attention. He knew the poisonous eyes of Korean peacocks, so he couldn't possibly have something good in his pile of copper coins, right?
He didn't want to be like Chen Qian and lose his treasure in the hands of Han Peacock.
"Of course, I don't have a job. Since there are these things at my doorstep, I just use this to make a living." As he said that, Han Kongque had already started.
He casually grabbed a handful of copper coins and looked at them one by one. When he saw Han Peacock, he frowned. They were really rubbish, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten into Fat Liu's hands.
"They are all modern copper coins!" Han Peacock said disappointedly.
Fat Liu was happy when he saw Han Peacock's expression: "Most of them are Five Emperors money, otherwise I wouldn't want them. Why, do you think the treasures are flying all over the sky?"
Otherwise, you take out the treasure you received and sell it. As long as your treasure is sold, you will have everything, a house, a car, a beautiful woman, whatever you want, how about, Fat Brother will give you a lead, then
Just give me some money for cigarettes."
Han Kongque ignored Fat Liu. He would not sell the Han Dynasty medical guide in his hand, regardless of whether it was Zhang Zhi's original work or not. The medical guide recorded many cases of ancient medical practice. Han Kongque was eager to learn, and he himself
I wanted to do some research first, but fortunately the medical summary was written in regular script, so it wasn't too troublesome to read.
These days, he was busy carving the piece of blood jade and did not take the time to study the medical strategy. Naturally, he would not sell it, and he would not sell the Han family tree.
Han Peacock flipped through the copper coins on the stall. Most of these were issued during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in modern times. Although there were many varieties, there were not many good ones. Most of them were Five Emperors coins.
Five Emperors' coins are coins issued by the five emperors of the Qing Dynasty, namely Shunzhi Tongbao, Kangxi Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao. These are also the most abundant copper coins in the world.
Seeing that Han Kongque ignored him, Fat Liu continued: "Xiao Han, please think about it carefully. Ancient books are not easy to preserve. If your book is a real Han book, the risk of collecting it yourself is too great, so why not give it to me?
I'll help you get a good price."
Han Kongque said without even raising his head: "Fat brother knows that I like books, so it is impossible to sell them before I finish reading them. How on earth are you going to sell these copper coins? Although they are all Five Emperors coins of the Qing Dynasty, their quality is not good.
It's really good. If it's cheap, I'll take care of your business."
"You are a no-profit owner, but you still take care of my business? Which one do you like? Just take it out and let me see. You don't want to buy my treasure for the price of garbage collection, do you?" Fat Liu's eyes
The light was shining, and it would be difficult for Han Peacock to pick it out of his hands.
