In the 1950s, antiques were considered old objects. No one made a fuss about them because they were not worth much.
There would probably be many more antiques destroyed in the future, but He Yuzhu knew the value of antiques very well.
It didn't cost much to collect antiques now, and they could be stored in the System Space. It was absolutely safe. In the future, they could sell them and easily become rich.
Perhaps if he used a few cents to buy an old item now, he could sell it for a few million in the future.
Of course, if He Yuzhu went out to tell others, others would only think that he was crazy.
A person with a bit of foresight was a genius, but if they were too far ahead, they would be crazy.
He Yuzhu didn't need others to understand.
However, appraising antiques was a problem.
"It is necessary to find some books on antique appreciation and learn from people who are proficient in this field.”He Yuzhu opened the system again.
In He Yuzhu's skill column, there was also the antique appreciation section.
Antique Lv.1, this was obtained from watching a lot of TV shows about antiques before he transmigrated.
However, He Yuzhu's current level of antique appreciation was clearly far from enough.
After work, He Yuzhu was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, she went to the library.
There were several libraries in the city. The largest library was in the city center. He Yuzhu was going to a library near the suburbs. Although it was not as good as the one in the city center, it still had a lot of books.
There were rows of bookshelves in the huge library, and each bookshelf was neatly placed with all kinds of ancient books. There were also modern Chinese creations, as well as foreign ones. Some of the books were in English, Russian, Italian, Greek, and so on.
Although there were no single copies, some books were worth collecting.
There were not many people in the library now. He Yuzhu looked for books related to antiques, which were categorized as historical archaeology.
The books were categorized, so it was much easier to find them.
History books were on a bookshelf.
Antiques were just a branch of history. Humanities, geography, social forms, and so on were the topics that historians discussed. As for antiques, there were fewer people discussing them.
Appreciating antiques depended on one's knowledge and foresight.
He Yuzhu was confident in his foresight, but he lacked knowledge.
Not long after, He Yuzhu found more than a dozen books, some thick and some thin, each of which was related to antiques.
He took the book to register.
The library only borrowed books and did not sell them. You could read them in the library or borrow them at home, but you had to pay a deposit.
Different books had different deposits. For the dozen books that He Yuzhu had found, the deposit added up to 1.20 yuan, which was not a small sum in this era.
When He Yuzhu returned home, Qin Huairu was also surprised. She did not expect He Yuzhu to like reading. However, this was a good thing, and she did not object to it.
However, when she found out that He Yuzhu liked old things, Qin Huairu was not too happy.
In Qin Huairu's opinion, old things were useless. He might as well learn carpentry and fitter.
He Yuzhu did not say much to Qin Huairu.
Although Qin Huairu was smart, she was limited by the times and grew up in the countryside. She would not understand the value of antiques.
Not to mention Qin Huiru, even the factory director and the higher-ups would not value antiques now.
This was also the reason why He Yuzhu decided to collect antiques.
When everyone knew the benefits of antiques, it was too late to collect them.
Other than antiques, He Yuzhu was also considering the courtyard house.
In the future, a courtyard house in Beijing would be able to sell for a small target.
However, it was very difficult to buy and sell Siheyuan now.
It was the He family's two houses. Although there was a deed to the house, the land belonged to the country.
At present, it was difficult for a private person to do a small business, and it was even more unrealistic to buy and sell a courtyard house.
In another ten years, He Yuzhu could consider buying two courtyard houses.
The He family also had some old items. He Daqing did not take any with him when he went to defend the city.
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times. When antiques became valuable, it meant that it was prosperous times.
The reason was actually very simple. The rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. The older the item was, the less it would be preserved in good condition. Moreover, there were more people collecting it, which led to the price being higher and higher.
However, it wasn't entirely true that the older one was, the more valuable it was. The main thing was to look at the item.
In short, the antique industry was not shallow.
With He Yuzhu's current level of antique appreciation, it was still not enough to add these books.
However, as a transmigrator, He Yuzhu knew the value of some things in the future.
When He Yuzhu fiddled with his family's old items and read antique books, many people in the courtyard knew about it. Some people outside the courtyard even heard about it.
The First Uncle bought some meat today and asked He Yuzhu to cook. Then, he dragged He Yuzhu to the Deaf Old Lady's place to eat together.
A middle-aged woman and Qin Huiru naturally followed along, as well as He Yushui.
The Deaf Old Lady was naturally very happy.
"Zhu Zi, let's order." An old man was holding a bottle of Maotai.
Moutai was not cheap. It was one of the four famous wines in the country.
Last year, four famous wines were selected in the country. Moutai was one of them, along with Fenjiu, Luzhou Daqu, and Xifeng.
A bottle of Maotai cost more than 1 yuan, and the first uncle was willing to pay.
However, He Yuzhu knew what First Uncle was up to.
This was good food and good wine. It was undoubtedly an investment.
He would invest in He Yuzhu now and let him support her in her retirement.
In fact, First Uncle earned a lot of money and had a pension in the future. If he gave all the money to He Yuzhu, it was not impossible to consider giving it to First Uncle in his old age.
Other than money, First Uncle still had a house. If First Uncle lived in retirement, the house would belong to He Yuzhu. In addition, the Deaf Old Lady would definitely give He Yuzhu the house. By then, He Yuzhu would have four houses.
However, the Deaf Old Lady was genuinely good to He Yuzhu. Even if there were no benefits, He Yuzhu was still willing to support the old lady in her old age.
"Zhu Zi, why are you suddenly fiddling with an old item?”the first uncle said casually as he poured the wine.
" Although old objects are worn out, they are still traces of history and have been passed down by our ancestors…" He Yuzhu said seriously, causing the first and second grandmasters, Qin Huiru, He Yushui, and the old lady to be stunned.
"In short, I, He Yuzhu, like old things.”
After clinking glasses with He Yuzhu, an elder said,""I still have some old items. Since Zhu Zi likes them, I'll go take a look tomorrow.”
The First Master's family had more old items than the He family, but he did not care at all. As long as he could build a good relationship with He Yuzhu, it was not a big deal to give all the old items to He Yuzhu.
Since the First Uncle had said so, He Yuzhu did not stand on ceremony with him.
Next, He Yuzhu and the first uncle drank wine with peanuts.
As for the meat dish and the two vegetable dishes, He Yuzhu and the first uncle basically did not touch them. Instead, Qin Huiru, the auntie, He Yushui, and the old lady ate them all.
After they were done eating, Qin Huairu diligently cleaned up the dishes and washed them.
