Finally, Yang Jing spent 800 yuan to buy the bronze statue of "Shiva, the king of dance, taking over the statue of the Ganges".

This is because the bronze statue is made of copper. At this time in 1994, the price of copper was about 16 yuan a kilogram, and the bronze statue was about seven kilograms. Even if it was a waste purchase station, it could sell 300 yuan less than copper alone.

Yang Jing wanted to take 500 yuan, but the boss didn't want to say anything. In the end, he could only give 800 yuan

Through this incident, Yang Jing also knows more clearly why the price of antiques in this era is so low. On the one hand, people don't have so much spare money in their pockets. The most important reason is that now because of the underdeveloped information, most of those who sell antiques don't know what the origin of the things in their hands is, and how can they sell the price?

Take this bronze statue as an example. If you meet a knowledgeable person in India, let alone 800, you can take it down as your ability! This thing is a serious national treasure. Although it is a national treasure of India, it is also a national treasure, isn't it?

When did you hear that national treasures can be bought for 800 yuan?

As for how the bronze statue fell into the hands of the trafficker, it is not difficult to imagine.

In the 1990s, there were often such and such fantastic theft cases in chaotic India. It was better for large families to be stolen. It was not uncommon for the National Museum to be stolen. What's more, even the prime minister's office was stolen every three days

It was estimated that the bronze statue was the treasure of a museum or a family heirloom enshrined by a large family with a high surname. As a result, it was stolen. Then the Buddha statue somehow wandered to China. As a result, the Chinese traders did not understand that it was an Indian national treasure. After being handed down, it was finally sold to the dealer of Panjiayuan at the price of selling waste copper, But the dealer didn't understand this, so he foolishly took advantage of Yang Jing.

In fact, in the 1980s and 1990s, the prices of many things that could be called national treasures in future generations were very low, and a large part of them were caused by this reason.

In the early years, I often heard that who spent 300 yuan on a Qianlong pastel plate in Panjiayuan, who spent 200 yuan on Mr. Lu Xun's manuscript in Liulichang, and who spent 400 yuan on an authentic work of Tang Bohu in Baoguo temple

In fact, this is because the people who sell these things don't know what kind of national treasure they are holding.

In this era, there is no network and smart phone. You can find anything with a finger movement, as in later generations. Therefore, it has become more and more difficult to pick up leaks in later generations. In this era, picking up leaks can not be said to be like drinking cold water, but it is much easier than later generations.

I spent 800 yuan to buy a national treasure antique worth more than three million dollars, which can be regarded as the biggest leak I picked up today.

However, the bronze statue also brought endless troubles to Yang Jing.

"Shit, how can I take this bronze statue?" I bought it just now, but after buying it, Yang Jing found that it was still a big trouble.

The weight of the bronze statue is close to 15 kg, and it is still half a meter high. The most important thing is that this bronze statue was well protected before. If you hold it like this, in case one accidentally knocks it, you can't even find a place to cry.

But if you don't hold this thing, there's no place to put it!

Yang Jing is going to stay here all day today. It's not convenient to hold such a big group around. The weight alone can kill him.

At this time, Yang Jing found that although she had made a lot of preparations before coming, when something really happened, her preparations were still far from enough. At least Yang Jing didn't know where to put the bronze statue in her arms.

Holding the bronze statue and a wire pole, he poked it at the edge of the greenhouse area for a long time. Yang Jing temporarily gave up the idea of going shopping, but was ready to find a place to put the bronze statue up first.

Not only the bronze statue, but also the Longquan Ge kiln flower mouth plate in the bag and the 1944 selection of Mao Zedong can't always be put in the bag. One of these two things is afraid of touching, the other is very heavy, and it's very tired to carry them alone.

You know, before crossing, Yang Jing not only prepared a full 100000 "four heads" 100 yuan bills, but also specially bought two 500g "small yellow croaker" from the jewelry store, put it in his bag and brought it here.

Counting these things, the things in the backpack alone weigh more than ten kilograms. Carrying such heavy things to the antique market is purely to give yourself eye medicine.

Thinking of this, Yang Jing walked out with the bronze statue. Yang Jing's idea was to see if he could temporarily rent a room in the opposite house to store these things and take them away when he left.

But Yang Jing was surprised when she came to the gate. It's only around 5 a.m. now, and it's still 5 a.m. in winter. At this point, where are the people getting up? Where can I find a house to rent?

Yang Jing stood alone at the gate of the market holding the Buddha statue. It was really sad.

But there are always many kind people in the world.

Yang Jing just stood for a while, the door of the duty room at the gate was pushed open, and a uniformed market worker came out.

"Young man, have you encountered any difficulties?" the voice of the staff member was very gentle, quite different from the cold wind in the early morning.

Yang Jing was stunned and immediately understood that his behavior in the eyes of the staff member obviously made him think he had encountered difficulties.

After looking at the duty room, Yang Jing's heart moved and immediately said, "comrade, I really encountered some difficulties."

"Come and talk in the room. It's cold outside." the staff member warmly welcomed Yang Jing into the room. As soon as he entered the room, Yang Jing hummed twice stimulated by the heat coming from the front.

It's been frozen outside for more than an hour. There's nothing more comfortable than entering this warm cabin.

"Comrade, have you encountered any difficulties?" the staff asked kindly.

Yang Jing said with a wry smile: "comrade, I just came to Yanjing recently. I heard that there was a ghost city in Panjiayuan, so I came here early this morning and bought some things, but I found that there was no place to put these things I bought for the time being, but I didn't want to go back so early, so I wanted to see if I could rent a house nearby. But now I'm a little..."

The staff member smiled and said, "no wonder you are a stranger and don't know the situation here in Panjiayuan. However, since you encounter such a situation, it's not appropriate to rent a house now. I don't think so. You can put your things here first, and I'll give you a receipt and take them away when you leave."

"Is this appropriate?"

"Hehe, there's nothing inappropriate. As long as you don't worry about me, I promise you can't lose your things here."

Of course, Yang Jing wants to find a place to store things, but Yang Jing is still a little worried about the staff looking at the gate. After all, these things in your hand are really old things that open the door. As long as you bring them back to 2017, any one of them is a good thing worth more than one million.

It's impossible not to put it here. At this time, where do you ask Yang Jing to find a house? Can't you break open someone's house at this point and say you want to rent someone's house? Why don't people beat Yang Jing out with a fire stick?

But if you let Yang Jing stay here and don't go to the ghost market, it's obviously not what Yang Jing wants.

He made so many preparations and accumulated so much treasure in order to make a good job in the ghost market in this era. If he stayed here and looked at these things, he would be very sorry for his previous preparations.

The staff seemed to see Yang Jing's hesitation and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no one has temporarily deposited things here before. Panjiayuan is still a little biased. Some people from Haidian and Xicheng often deposit things here if they can't take them away temporarily. Don't worry, I'll give you a receipt to ensure that your things are indispensable."

People said it like this. If you refuse again, it will be too embarrassing for others. Moreover, Yang Jing really has no place to put the bronze statue, so he smiled and nodded and said, "master, it's really troublesome for you." then Yang Jing took out two boxes of camel cigarettes from her bag and put them on the table, "Master, this is the cigarette I brought from England. It tastes good. Try it."

"Oh, it's a rare thing, thank you." the staff didn't say anything, but smiled and accepted the two boxes of cigarettes.

Yang Jing thought for a moment. In the end, she didn't leave the things in the bag, but left the bronze statue. In this era, there are few things that can be recognized in China, and it is estimated that no one has the idea of this bronze statue.

"Yo, where is this Buddha? I can't see it! But this shape is really rare!"

The staff obviously didn't recognize the origin of the bronze statue, but they still left the name "bronze statue of four arm dance" on the receipt, which made Yang Jing more or less relieved.

After taking the receipt, Yang Jing thanked and went out, and soon returned to the shed area again. However, after such a delay, there seemed to be more people in the shed area. Many stalls were surrounded by many people, and Yang Jing couldn't squeeze in front even if she wanted to see it.

In desperation, Yang Jing had to find stalls with fewer people.

Yes, this era is not like Panjiayuan more than 20 years later. More people sell than buy. In this era, more people come to Panjiayuan to clean out treasure than set up stalls, especially when the ghost market is opened, there are many people in front of almost every stall.

In a corner of the greenhouse area, Yang Jing saw a man selling old books and newspapers.

At this time, the old book area of Panjiayuan has not been moved to the west of the market. At this time, those who sell old books, sundries and stones are concentrated in the greenhouse area.

There were not many people in front of the booth, so Yang Jing gathered up.

"Boss, what do you want? I have a lot of old books, newspapers and other materials here." the boss is very enthusiastic. There are several or even ten people around other stalls. He is cold here. It's not easy to come here. He has to catch what he says.

Yang Jing squatted down and looked at the things on the stall with the help of the dim light.

This stall is really dominated by old books and newspapers, but most of them are not easy to sell.

Most of those old newspapers and periodicals are those before and after liberation. Although they are many years old, they do not have much collection value. As for those old books, they are mostly old books in the period of the Republic of China, and they are not well preserved.

No wonder there is no one in this stall. As long as you know a little, you will never waste time in this stall.

Yang Jing shook her head slightly and was about to leave. Her sight was suddenly attracted by a pile of manuscripts in the corner of the booth.

"This is..." Yang Jing's heart jumped twice with this look, and then Yang Jing picked up a very old publication on the top.

Yang Jing was surprised by the four words in this slightly old but well preserved publication.

This is a youth magazine, the first issue of new youth!

The cover of the magazine is light yellow. There is a black box above the front of the cover. La-jeunesse is written in French at the top of the cover. This word means "Youth" in French. Under this line of French words, there is a row of young people sitting upright; Below the black box, from right to left, are the "youth records" in vertical arrangement and red font, the head of someone who can't see clearly, and the six characters of the first volume and the first number in vertical arrangement are on the far left; At the bottom of the cover is huhai Qunyi publishing house, the publisher of this publication.

"Shit, this is the first issue of new youth!" Yang Jing was really surprised.

New Youth magazine is a very influential revolutionary magazine in China in the 1920s. Its original name was Youth magazine. The second volume was renamed new youth, which played an important role during the May 4th movement.

In front of this magazine, Yang Jing dares to confirm that if he is right, this is the founding number of new youth, that is, youth magazine!

Although "New Youth" is not a rare ancient book, it has very important historical significance, especially for Chinese youth organizations, it has a height that other books and periodicals can't match. It is absolutely not as precious as those rare ancient books.

But how could such a precious publication appear in such a stall? Shouldn't this kind of publication appear in major libraries or museums?

It's incredible that Yang Jing launched the identification skills. It's nothing to waste that energy in front of such a precious publication.

Sure enough, the answer given by the holy ring told Yang Jing that this was indeed the first issue of new youth published on September 15, 1915.

After Shengjie gave the answer, Yang Jing felt his hand trembling with the publication. As a result, when he looked at the pile of books and periodicals, he almost threw the new youth in his hand.

It turns out that there is a new youth under this new youth, and looking at it, it is obvious that this publication is also very old.

Yang Jing didn't believe in evil and pulled down. As a result, all he saw were "New Youth", and from No. 2 in Volume I to No. 1 in Volume II, that is, the magazine revised to "New Youth", one was not bad, and there was "New Youth" down, but the serial number had been changed to Volume III and volume IV

"Shit! The boss is so awesome! He collected a whole set of New Youth magazine!" Yang Jing almost cried out excitedly.
