"That's it." My godfather was as happy as a Halloween pumpkin: "Even if you can't read this level and just treat it as a historical science and travel essay, it's still a good article."

"Secretary, let me tell you, this guy is very good."

Why the hell do I need you to tell me?! I have experienced it myself so I can tell you?!

The godfather did not notice Hua Yuliang's expression, and his proud expression betrayed his modest tone: "The county will definitely publicize the reward for this matter. Logically speaking, it is a matter that should be taught and taught."

"But one of them is his godmother, and the other is his godfather. After all, we have to avoid suspicion."

"It's a good thing anyway, Secretary, I think it's better to leave it to you."

"Okay then. Zhao Shangzhong happens to have a report on education reform in a few days and I'm going to listen to it. We'll see how we arrange it then."

…

…

It should be said that although Zhou Zhi’s article was published at a national level, its impact was not as sensational as the two previous articles about my grandmother.

Firstly, those two articles are the first time a "writer" appears in Jiachuan, and secondly, there are bonuses from related historical events and cultural relics.

Even the second lady who works with women and children stopped calling to show concern.

Zhou Zhi suspected that Second Mistress was going to break her promise and get fat. The previous bold statement of "Second Mistress will reward you as much as your manuscript fee" was limited to the first and second time.

Are you kidding me? If you take writing a book as a career, I will have to compensate you for the rest of your life?!

The red envelope given by Xiaoliujie was quite scary, it was 5,000 yuan.

In Jiachuan these days, five thousand yuan is a hundred months' salary for many workers.

But Zhou Zhi also knows that in a few years, the money will no longer be so valuable.

How can we preserve value?

Now is the tail end of China's first major bear market. If you buy stocks, you will definitely make a lot of money in the next three years.

However, a securities window has just opened on Ma Street in Jiachuan, which is deserted and crowded, and Zhou Zhi is not even qualified to open an account because he is not old enough.

If I entrust my mother to open an account and exchange 5,000 yuan for stocks, I guess the old Zhou family will really be cut off.

Apart from that, it seems that there are really no channels for middle school students to invest.

Suddenly I thought of the box under Mr. Yu’s bed downstairs, eh...

When the school and playground on the top of Zhongnan Mountain were being built, a lot of good things were unearthed in Jiachuan. However, people at that time did not know the value of those things and were even afraid of being contaminated with bad luck. The best outcome for those cultural relics would be to be dumped into the Yangtze River.

.

Zhang Xiaoyu once picked up a jade bracelet by the river. Finally, he and his friends who were traveling together broke it into three pieces and each of them broke it into pieces.

I got a beating when I got home, you naughty kids, why don’t you split the money after selling it!

I heard from Zhao Xiaoyu that the bracelet can be sold for fifty yuan.

A Hotan jade bracelet costs fifty yuan, and if you put it aside for now, there is no hope of adding another ten thousand yuan to it.

Of course, even if you are looking for items, you still have to be particular. If you look for pottery figurines, brick carvings, jades, dental items, etc., the value will not increase.

Take Hetian jade as an example. Old items do not soar as fast as new items.

Because the country prohibits circulation, there is no room for speculation, and the price will not rise for decades.

There are only two things that will double in value - porcelain, calligraphy and painting.

You have to talk to your fourth cousin about this matter. He has many friends in this field.

I called my fourth cousin, who asked Zhou Zhi how much money he could afford. Zhou Zhi gritted his teeth and said six thousand.

On Saturday morning, my fourth cousin called again. He found the items and came to choose them.

Choose? So arrogant...

My fourth uncle's home was not far from Zaoling Bridge. When Zhou Zhi arrived, there was already an old man waiting in the reception room.

The old man wore cloth shoes, a linen shirt, and round reading glasses from the Republic of China period. He looked like an old rural teacher.

The fourth cousin asked Zhou Zhi to stay in the side room on the left, and said to the old man: "I have to earn your trust. The old rule is that the buyer and the seller do not meet each other. They have already arrived. You can count these things and I will let the buyer see them."

Bargaining things."

The old man retracted his hands into his sleeves. The fourth uncle reached into his sleeves and touched them twice: "Sir, please step back a moment."

The old man retreated to the side room on the right, and then his fourth cousin waved to Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi walked over and saw two jars, a plate, a small wildflower, and a scroll on the table.

"Let's take a look at the goods."

Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded, knowing that good things are everywhere now, but...but...this is too much exaggeration!

Both jars are in the shape of lotus leaf lid jars, one with plum green glaze and the other with blue and white glaze.

The Southern Song Dynasty Longquan kiln plum celadon glaze lotus leaf lid jar unearthed in Suizhou, Shuchuan River, Zhou Zhi had seen for several days through the glass room of the museum.

Although the current jar is much smaller than that one, judging from the shape, glaze, tire opening, and sole features, it is still the same as the large jar!

The blue and white dragon pattern jar has bold and smooth lines, which is the early blue and white painting style of JDZ kiln.

Judging from the glaze color, it is obviously Suma Liqing. The top glaze is white glaze, with the white glaze returning to green. The area where the glaze accumulates is duck egg blue. The edge of the foot ring is light aqua. There are two types of bubbles, large and small, in the glaze, but there are very few.

Medium bubbles.

If you can't run away from Hou Yuan, you will be born early.

The wildflowers can be seen clearly when opening the door, because the glaze shapes are very special - Kangxi official kiln, Langhong.

The remaining plate is almost as good as the two large jars in age, but the style on the back is extraordinary, it is from the official kiln, and the name should be called the blue and white lychee pattern nest plate from the official kiln of Ming Yongle.

Gu Xuan

When the scroll was opened, the picture was very simple, a withered lotus, and an old stork with fried feathers on the lotus. The old stork still rolled its eyes, seeming to look down on the little turtle that was shaking its head and tailing among the waves in the corner.

You don't even need to look at the inscription to already know what this thing is, a painting by Zhu Da, a member of the Eight Great Masters.

This is crazy...

I don’t know if it’s a Longquan kiln plum celadon-glazed lotus leaf covered jar from the Southern Song Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty;

I don’t know if it is a jdz kiln blue and white dragon pattern lotus leaf-shaped lidded jar from the middle Yuan Dynasty or the early Ming Dynasty;

Ming Dynasty Yongle official kiln blue and white lychee pattern nest plate;

Langhong small garlic sprouts from the Kangxi official kiln in the Qing Dynasty;

"Light Turtle on the River" by Zhu Da, Bada Shanren of Ming Dynasty!

"Seller..." As soon as he started to speak, Zhou Zhi realized that his voice was hoarse: "Ahem, how much is the seller's price?"

The fourth cousin took a few pieces of letter paper, wrote the prices on them with a brush, and placed them in front of each item.

The green jar with plums costs six hundred, the blue and white jar costs one thousand, the blue and white plate costs six hundred, the garlic and wild rice costs three hundred, and the painting costs one thousand.

When writing the prices, the fourth cousin's left index finger pressed the paper, and when he wrote the prices of the plum green jar, blue and white jar, and scroll with his right hand, he clicked twice on the paper respectively.

This is helping Zhou Zhi cheat. What the fourth cousin meant is that these three things are good things.

In Zhou Zhi's opinion, nothing is bad, but the blue and white plate and wild rice stems are from the official kiln. The fourth cousin thinks that their price-performance ratio is not as high as the other three.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Zhi picked up the letterhead on the two pieces of official kiln porcelain and handed it to his fourth cousin, saying that he would not read it.

Then use a pen to write three hundred, five hundred, and five hundred under the plum green jar, blue and white jar, and scroll.

The fourth cousin nodded and asked Zhou Zhi to continue to look at a few items. He took the list and went to the right compartment to discuss with the old man.

After a while, the fourth cousin came back again: "The seller asked you if you can always get it here. If you want this price, you can add a thousand more for the rest."

Zhou Zhi was stunned. Damn it, I'm so excited for one thousand three!

In fact, when BJ Artifacts Store opened in 1987, the price of bowls and plates from the Kangxi official kiln was 400, the Qianlong official kiln was 300, and the Guangxu official kiln could only be regarded as gifts.

In other words, in the seller's mind, Zhou Zhi regarded him as a sheep by offering this price for folk kiln porcelain.

How much do you look down on folk kilns?!

"Add five hundred and the deal will be done!" Zhou Zhi immediately stepped into the role: "I made friends with those folk kiln pieces when we first met, so I opened them higher to prevent the other side from making a fool of me!"

In the end, the price was increased to 700, and the total price was 2,000, so I got these antiques.

The old man took the money and left in a hurry. Only then did Zhou Zhi push his cousin out and let her admire Bada Shanren's paintings.

The fourth cousin looked at a few things with envy: "Look at people, they have held a few things in their hands for a few years, but they have exchanged them for a small courtyard..."

"What little courtyard?"

The fourth cousin said: "I bought this small courtyard for two thousand yuan back then."

There is nothing to be envious of. The few things left on the table now can be exchanged for two villas in Shudu in twenty years!

"Fourth Cousin, please tell me. Apart from the painting, I can't handle the other two jars."

"Oh, so what do you think?"

"There is no problem that this one is plum green from Longquan kiln. I estimate it dates from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty; this blue and white one is from the early JDZ kiln, and it dates from the late Yuan Dynasty to the early tomorrow morning."
