Chapter 31 Redemption
When Li Xingxing heard this, he looked at the old lady carefully.
He brought a little accent from Shanghai, his words and demeanor were elegant, and his eyebrows and eyes naturally showed a noble and elegant temperament. He was dressed in a fashionable manner, with lint shoes, woolen coats, and large shawls.
She suddenly remembered that some buyers who were hiding in the black market had good family conditions and had ancestral products.
For example, if private enterprises are converted to state-owned or public-private joint ventures, the state will compensate them a lot of money.
They have money in their hands and are not used to limited grain supply. They often buy high-priced grain in the black market and specialize in fine grain.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Xingxing whispered: "I don't want money, I want old items. Do you have one? If you have one, change it, if you don't have one, just forget it."
Grandpa once said that the most valuable things in this era in later generations were jewelry, jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, and there was a huge room for appreciation. Those who had ancestral property must have it in their hands, so she would test it.
The old lady was puzzled, "Old object?"
Li Xingxing nodded, "Yes, old objects, jewelry and jade, and antiques, calligraphy and paintings are the second. If you have one, I will exchange some fine grains for it. I have rice, flour, noodles, eggs, brown sugar cakes in my hand. I was originally used to visit relatives, but my relative left without saying hello. I said first, I can't fool me with fakes."
It’s not that she is not sure about the huge potential of antiques, the key is that she is not very confident in her treasure appraisal skills.
When she traveled through time, antiques appreciated to a terrifying price. Tens of millions or hundreds of millions of antiques were not something she could access, and that kind of top-notch jewelry did not exist in her life.
However, she often sees related news.
Rather than buying fake antiques worthless, it is better to concentrate on buying gold, silver and jewelry.
The old lady's eyes lit up, "Hey, fortunately I made plans. There are always people who collect old items in the black market, but the price is very low, which is outrageously low."
Even though life is difficult, there are still many people who like antiques, especially cadres and intellectuals.
Their income and supply standards are relatively high.
However, food is the most important thing for people, and no matter how many people like it, it is not as popular as current food or food coupons in the black market, so only a small part of the people who are willing to collect old items in the black market.
After the old lady finished speaking, she pulled Li Xingxing into the corner, no one looked around, took out a small cloth bag from her body, poured out a handful of jewelry and held it with her hands, and the jewelry was jewel-like. "It's all gold, you can choose whatever you want. The black market price is five kilograms of coarse grains and two kilograms of fine grains. If you give me twenty kilograms of rice or flour, I'll give it all to you."
The jewelry is small in size, holding eleven or two pieces in one hand, all of which are small, with a gold base, some are inlaid with red and blue and green gems, some are inlaid with green jade, and some are not inlaid with red and gold silk.
Li Xingxing could not tell the authenticity of the antiques, but he could distinguish the quality of the jewelry.
Grandpa taught her.
The quality of gems and jade is very good and looks very transparent, but the old craftsmanship is not polished well enough.
Li Xingxing picked up one of the rings and measured it in his heart.
The black market price of five kilograms of coarse grain is about ten yuan. It is not considered inlaid gems and jade. A ring weighs more than three or four grams of gold at the bank. The weight of a pair of earrings is similar. The other party has seven rings and two pairs of earrings in one hand, and a pendant is inlaid with a finger-sized ruby.
The old lady sighed: "The state prohibits individuals from hiding gold or trading gold, and encourages the people to exchange gold and silver for banknotes, which leads to a sharp depreciation of jewelry and antiques, but there are many people who like it, and there are many people who secretly trade in the black market."
"The thing I brought before has been sold, please wait for me."
