"What did you say?" Dad's voice came from the counter.
"I say! How much are these coins?!" Kaxiu raised his voice so that his father, who was a little hard of hearing, could hear it.
"Oh, I heard it. I'll come and take a look."
After a while, the old man came to the shelf and Kaxiu handed over all the seven or eight coins in his hand.
The sunlight shone into the antique shop through the window, and the copper coins were somewhat reflective. The two could clearly see that there was a raised crown logo on the surface of the coin, and even traces of the gems on the crown were found, and there was a cross on the top.
The only difference is that the cross is tilted slightly to the right.
"These coins are Crown Stars. I'll charge you ten dollars for each. They are not valuable. But if you are a coin lover, you can try to collect them..."
Dad put down the magnifying glass in his hand and said.
Ten dollars each, eight coins only cost eighty in total, which is quite cheap.
Kaxiu is actually quite principled in his work. If he really encounters an antique with obsession energy inside, he will most likely buy it back on the spot after absorbing it. Otherwise, even if the store owner is actually unaware of it, Kaxiu himself will feel a little uncomfortable.
Of course, if he encountered an antique that was beyond his ability to afford, Kaxiu would not and would not want to be pretentious.
After all, only he can absorb the obsession energy, and others cannot distinguish it. After absorbing the obsession energy, the antique remains the same, and the store owner can still sell it to others to make money.
Regarding the rational use of the golden finger to enhance strength.
Kashu has flexible principles.
"Then I'll buy them all." He paid immediately.
He took out a pale yellow Red Lebanese Federation banknote from his pocket. On the front was the word "100", and on the back was a middle-aged man with thick hair and a hooked nose. This middle-aged man was the great Duke of Red Lebanon more than a hundred years ago.
"Wait for me for a moment, I'll go to the counter and give you the change."
"Dad, no thanks. Just use the extra twenty as the cost of the edamame sandwich. I actually like the taste of that."
"I'll find you a box to put it in." Dad couldn't help but smile when he heard Kaxiu say that he liked to eat edamame sandwiches, and then he picked up a beautiful and exquisite wooden box from the shelf.
To be honest.
This exquisite box alone costs more than twenty dollars.
Kaxiu, who originally wanted to be magnanimous, ended up making a profit. He felt a little helpless, but he didn't argue over such a trivial matter.
Sometimes, the elderly do this because they respect you. Being overly humble will make the elderly feel that you look down on their kindness.
Next, Kaxiu found an opportunity to ask his father about the origin of the coins. These copper coins were obviously from a series, with crowns on the reverse and the number fifty on the front.
Although Dad is a little forgetful, he knows all about these antiques. The crooked crown on this coin is called the Crown Cross, and its prototype is called the Saint-Basil Crown.
Located in the North Reef Island, there is a Principality of Ryant in the north of the Red Lebanese Federation. The Principality of Ryant was originally a principality under the rule of the Puka Dynasty. Of course, this was hundreds of years ago, and now the Puka Dynasty is gone. Go back seven hundred years...
Grand Duke Baswell inherited his father's position and became the Duke of Ryant, and was later crowned king. During this period, the first crown in the history of the Principality of Ryant was created, which was later called the Crown Cross. Because of his religious beliefs, a golden cross was placed on the top of the crown, which was very luxurious.
Later, unexpectedly, about two hundred years ago, the crown accidentally fell to the ground and the golden cross on the top fell crooked.
The king at that time and many kings after him did not even think of straightening it, and they were all crowned wearing a crooked crown. Later, the fifty-liant coin was printed with a crooked cross crown.
One hundred and fifty years ago, not long after the Red Lebanese Federation was founded, a revolution broke out in the Principality of Ryant, and the emperor was sent to the guillotine. When the beheading took place, the onlookers threw a large number of coins, which were stained with the blood of Wally IV at that time.
Because of its special significance, many people in later generations collected this coin. However, this thing is real or fake. There are many fifty-lion coins, and there are also many from one or two hundred years ago.
No one knows which coins are really stained with the emperor's blood, so this kind of coins are not valuable. They were quite popular during the antique craze 20 years ago. After all, you only need to spend a little money to buy an antique coin whose authenticity is unknown, and you can brag to your friends about the story behind the coin.
As for now, it is not very popular, and only some coin collectors will buy it. As for the origin of these coins in Dad's antique shop, Dad himself is not very clear. Because most of the strange antiques in the shop were sent back by Uncle Yun who was away from home. And Uncle Yun will not be back for at least a month.
"One month... I hope I can stay in Baichuan City until then." Kaxiu said goodbye to his father, picked up the box and walked out of the antique shop. The street was empty, with few pedestrians.
I don't think buses or carriages will pass by here.
"It seems that I can only walk to the main road by myself..."
*********************
From 2pm to 3:50pm, Kaxiu visited most of the antique shops in Shirakawa City. In fact, most of the time was spent on the road, and searching in the shops was very efficient. He only needed to check the antiques that had been newly arrived in the past two days.
Apart from the unexpected gains from my dad's antique shop, today was just like any other day. Instead, the car fare cost more than a hundred dollars.
With a click, the shoes stepped on the hard ground.
A tall young man wearing a wide-brimmed hat got off the tram. He looked up at Hongta Street not far away, then walked over and threw the ticket into the trash can.
With a creak, the door of the Gray Seal Martial Arts School was pushed open.
At the counter by the door, the bat-haired old man was reading a newspaper with great interest, not noticing Kaxiu coming in at all. He only noticed it when his body shadow blocked the pages of the book.
"..." Kaxiu lowered his head and looked away speechlessly.
The old man was wearing a Shirakawa Morning Newspaper on the outside, but inside was a thick pornographic magazine. The pages were printed with sexy girls with curvaceous figures, wearing the most fashionable clothes. There were also some introductory text stories next to them, including the measurements.
"Ahem..." The old man covered the magazine and coughed awkwardly: "Instructor Levi is here, your students are waiting. Here is the key to the training room."
Kaxiu smiled, took the key and turned away.
"How come there is no sound when I walk, like a ghost..."
The old man complained and looked around. Then he felt relieved and repeated his old tricks, lowering his head, shrinking his neck, and squinting his eyes. His obscene and focused expression made him look like a pervert.
