Chapter 450 Family Heirloom 3
Shen Zhishu laughed again, "Grandpa, I don't know how to appraise treasures, and I can't say how much it is worth. There are so many things here, it's hard to tell the real from the fake, maybe some shops don't know what the things they sell are, usually Give the buyer a psychological price. If it is a valuable genuine product, the buyer buys it back at a low price and resells it at a high price, and the profit will be doubled.”
Old man Shen seemed to understand, but he got a piece of information that the real antiques are very valuable and can be bought back for collection.
Maybe it can be a family heirloom. In ancient times, didn't some rich people have one or two pieces in their homes?
The Shen family used to be poor and had no family heirlooms. Old man Shen remembered that when his parents passed away, he left a dilapidated house with three acres of land, a pig and a few chickens. Is it a baby?
So he thought that he could search for so-called antiques here. If he was lucky enough to buy a real one, he could pass it on. The older it is, the more valuable it is!
Thinking of this, old man Shen became interested, "Sounds interesting, why don't we go over and have a look? Maybe we can buy something that can increase in value."
The family walked for a while and found that the street was really full of these things. It could be called an antique street. Every store and street stall has all kinds of bottles and jars and strange stones, as well as a lot of dark old furniture, and there are even stationery sellers.
When I got closer, I found that they were not selling stationery, but some pens, inks, papers and inkstones. The boss said that they were also antiques.
"Aren't these brushes and paper? Are they really antiques?" Old Man Shen muttered.
The boss is a local, warm and hospitable, and can speak Mandarin fluently. Right now, he didn't have much business in the store, so he simply chatted with the old couple.
"Of course it's an antique. It's from the Ming and Qing Dynasties! Old man, old lady, do you know the Wenchang Temple nearby?"
Mrs. Shen nodded, "I know, our family went to worship yesterday."
"Really? Do you know that Wenchang Temple has a history of hundreds of years? It used to be the place where the imperial examinations were taken. The imperial examinations are similar to the current college entrance examinations. They are specially selected for talents! Think about it, so many candidates have to eat here. To live, I have to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. They are all cultural people, and there are so many people, so many shops have opened here over time. So many shops here are century-old shops, including mine!"
The boss talked more and more vigorously, with a look of pride in his eyes, "This store of mine was handed down from my grandfather's grandfather. It has been around for many years, and there are many good products. No one deceives anyone!"
"Oh, that's it!" Old man Shen suddenly realized, "We don't know if you don't tell me, no wonder some shops outside have the words "hundred-year-old shop."
The boss saw that this family was well-dressed, and those juniors competed with each other for their good looks. They looked very temperamental, more temperamental than many rich and big bosses, unlike ordinary children, who wanted to do business with them, so they Greeted more enthusiastically, "It's too hot now, why don't you come in and sit down? How about a cup of tea? I have good tea here, I'll make a pot for you! If you are interested, I can tell you a good story This antique!"
"That's good, but, will it disturb your business?"
"No, no! Selling antiques is a lonely thing in itself. After all, many people don't understand treasures, so they leave after looking at them. It's hard to meet people who understand treasures, so it won't affect business. Do not worry."
