The family got together again.

Yang Hongwei also personally cooked two or three dishes and celebrated a little.

The happiest is her sister Yang Yuciao.

In the past two years, she couldn't see her brother bullying her sister-in-law, she always stood on the same front with her sister-in-law, and persuaded her sister-in-law that if she couldn't get by, she would separate.

Now that I see my brother as if he has changed someone, I don't want to mention how happy I am.

After everything was settled in the family, he bought a ticket to go north to Kyoto.

He decided to start by picking up the rags.

However, picking up rags has to look like picking up rags.

When he went out, he found all the rags in the house and packed them all and took them to Kyoto.

When I arrived in Kyoto, I spent 10 yuan on a board car, which was a must-have piece of equipment.

In addition, it is enough to add a scale.

At that time, Kyoto City was full of "leaks", and even if you wandered around the streets, you could pick up a rare treasure, depending on whether you had the eye and chance.

After some serious consideration, he sketched out a "blueprint for Kyoto" in his mind.

He decided to start with the inner city of Kyoto, then the outer city, the surrounding urban areas, and the remote areas around Kyoto.

In that era when people's living standards were generally not high, almost all people's attention was focused on the issue of food and clothing.

Few people pay attention to antiques that can neither satisfy hunger nor keep warm from the cold.

However, Kyoto is an exception, and many old Kyoto people like to go to Panjiayuan or Liulichang.

If nothing else, just have fun and find some excitement.

He knew that it would take a long, long time to get around Kyoto on his own.

Therefore, he plans to use the power of other people so that he can walk through the streets of Kyoto in a short time.

However, who are the people who have come into contact with those old objects the most?

Yang Hongwei knows in his heart that he must count those who walk the streets and alleys to collect rags, and this is also the golden and jade words that he listened to in that life.

Therefore, in the first half month after he arrived in Kyoto, he did not rush to the streets and alleys to collect antiquities, but first got acquainted with the heads of several scrap yards and those who shouted to collect rags.

He told the person in charge of the scrap station and more than a dozen people who collected tatters, and when they encountered old objects, they would take them back at a low price, and explained to them some necessary common sense, what things can be collected, what things can not be wanted, of course, are some of the most basic introductory knowledge.

Under normal circumstances, the things they take back are basically less than two yuan, and they don't dare to accept them if they are a little more expensive.

Then, for every thing they collected, Yang Hongwei would make them earn an extra piece or two yuan.

If they come across some old furniture or porcelain or calligraphy and paintings, they don't dare to accept things casually, as long as they talk to Yang Hongwei, he will also give them five cents to one dollar for information without hesitation.

Those people were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, and everyone was happy to do business with him.

Every night when he was in the evening, he would go to the old fellows to see things and bring back things of value.

In his spare time, he went to Panjiayuan and Liulichang to find what he liked.

He had only one purpose, and that was the old things.

Ancient books, rare books, book stickers, rubbings, broken jars, scrap copper and iron, old-fashioned tables and chairs, stationery and other things that look like old objects are the objects of his collection.

At that time, people's awareness of collecting was shallow, and sometimes some old objects with very collectible value were sold as scrap.

Therefore, when the weather is bad and he can't go out, he usually goes to the scrapyard to pick up leaks, sometimes he can't take care of lunch and eats, and every time he has to turn the scrap yard upside down.

Some scrapyard owners definitely don't want him to rummage around, so he gives them a two-dollar rummaging fee each time.

Then, he paid them a certain fee for those valuable things that were turned out.

Therefore, the owner of the scrap yard is also willing to Yang Hongwei rummaging through the yard to find some things.

At the scrap yard, he can always find something very valuable, and it can be said that this is a very important place for him to collect old objects.

On the sixth day of his arrival in Kyoto, it was almost dark.

A middle-aged man pulled a rack car and hurried to the scrap yard.

There were some old books and newspapers, bottles and cans, scrap metal, etc., and a pile of broken wood was placed on top, tied with a rope.

Although it was getting late, Yang Hongwei still saw that these woods were by no means ordinary materials, and looked as if they had been removed from a piece of furniture.

"Big brother, can I take a look at the things in your car?"

"Little brother, it's going to be dark soon, I'm not afraid that the boss will call it a day!" "

It's okay, I'm very familiar with the boss, just let him wait a while."

Yang Hongwei asked the middle-aged man to wait on the side, and then began to quickly flip through the old books and newspapers and the bottles and cans.

He focused on the wood.

"Big brother, this should be the chair removed.

"Little brother, good eyesight, that's right.

"When these two chairs are removed, are they complete?"

"One part is missing, but it's too old, and I'm going to throw it straight to the garbage heap."

"I've just arrived in Kyoto, and I don't even have a chair where I live, so I'll just piece it together and make it an object."

He flipped and flipped and stopped.

"Well, I won't waste everyone's time, unload these things into my car, and I'll sell them to the boss when the time comes.

"It's okay, you can just give some money.

Yang Hongwei quickly transferred everything to his car and took out ten yuan to the middle-aged man.

"Just give five dollars, it's not a valuable thing.

"Give it to you, you can continue, I can handle this chair as well."

"I originally planned to throw away those pieces of wood as garbage, don't count them, and those bottles and cans, and other people's scrap stations don't have to be, just give five yuan." The

middle-aged man saw that Yang Hongwei insisted on giving him ten yuan, and finally had to reluctantly accept it.

After sending the middle-aged man away, he went to the owner of the scrapyard and gave him two dollars.

Then, ride your own flatbed back home.

Just now, he took a cursory look at the things on the middle-aged man's car, don't look at many things, but it seems to be quite valuable.

He silently thought in his heart, it is better to take these things back and check them carefully, especially those bottles and cans, he feels quite old, they should be some old objects, but the specific needs to go back and judge.

When he got home, he began to look through the old books and newspapers, which looked very old and old, some of them were dilapidated, and it must have taken a long time to form that sense of vicissitudes, and a little damp.

There are also some unintelligible Sanskrit books and some rubbings of tablets and the like.

However, he is not very good at this knowledge, so he can only put it aside for now.

He picked up another porcelain vase and looked carefully at the inside, there were traces of pickles, and he guessed that these bottles and jars should be used to hold salt or other daily necessities at home, or for pickling old pickles.

The dust on the surface of the porcelain is almost a few millimeters thick and has completely covered the surface of the porcelain.

If you want to see the surface of the porcelain, you must use a damp cloth to remove the dust from the surface.

It took him a long time to clean the surface of the porcelain.

When he saw the patterns on the surface of these porcelain, he was shocked.

In his judgment, these porcelains have a history of more than one or two hundred years, and they are by no means comparable to those imitated or newly imitated by the Republic of China.

Among these porcelains, there are porcelain produced in Cizhou kiln, as well as porcelain from Dingyao kiln, porcelain from Yaozhou kiln, Jun kiln porcelain and other porcelain, covering various periods from the Song and Yuan dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties.

However, there are many private kilns.

He didn't go down to date them, but placed them in the porcelain area.

Yang Hongwei was most interested in the two chairs, and he didn't know what kind of thing these pieces of wood would be put together, and whether they would lack arms and legs.

Because he knew all the parts well, he was able to install them easily.

In front of him was a pair of Ming Dynasty Huanghuali four-headed official hat chairs carved with moire patterns on the back.

This time it was really a big deal!

His mood instantly improved.

Not

to mention the value of those old books and those porcelain, this pair of official hats and chairs alone are worth a lot of money,

which is really God's favor for me.

From the bottom of his heart, he began to thank God for the gift of allowing him to be reborn into such crazy years.

Under normal circumstances, during the day, he would walk the streets and alleys and go door-to-door to collect things, just like those who collect rags.

However, the focus of his recycling is not the same as that of those who scavenge on the streets.

As soon as he hears of a good object somewhere, he will do everything he can to get his hands on it.

With the antique knowledge he had learned in his previous life, he always received something nice.

However, he also came across a few old objects that he couldn't grasp accurately.

Every few days, he went to Panjiayuan to make a transaction, and the transactions were all of the same kind of goods, and he was reluctant to sell the better ones!

Of course, it was more to learn from the seniors in the industry.

Through just ten days of collecting and studying antiquities, he found that his love for collecting came from his bones.

Because he has a certain amount of appraisal knowledge, there are often some unprofessional people who come to him to help with the appraisal, and he will give a small "benefit fee" when he leaves.

He rented a small yard, and the price of twelve yuan a month was also within the range he could accept.

Every time he returned, he would pick up some planks from the street and make a lattice cabinet in the house for fragile items.

In just half a month, he collected more than 1,000 different antiques and old objects, and put them in the house.

However, for those collection categories that he has little grasp, such as rubbings of inscriptions, he adopts the principle of touching as little as possible, unless he is sure enough.
