Chapter 142 The mystery of the funeral home
I didn't move forward, I just observed the middle-aged man from a distance.
At first, like many guests, I suspected that the middle-aged man was a liar, and the old man and a few others were dragging him.
But soon, this suspicion was denied by myself.
The reason is very simple. Is there any scammer who sells things so cheaply? Even if the ancient coins are fake, if you want to do a game, you will have to at least cost a few hundred yuan each.
This way, you can sell it for one or five yuan, and you can't make any money at all. Why bother to make such a game?
I was thinking about it, but the guests had already bought the ancient coins and stared at the middle-aged people with some indifference. However, at this moment, they already had one. Even if the middle-aged people had some inventory left, they were unwilling to sell it to everyone.
After leaving the crowd, the middle-aged man suddenly saw me and smiled, "Little brother, do you want to buy one to play with?"
I was about to shake my head and refuse, but my heart moved. Seeing more than a dozen ancient coins hanging on his dead tree, I nodded and said, "It's okay, let's have one."
The middle-aged man walked up to me, put down the dead tree, and I chose whatever I wanted.
I didn't care either. I picked up an exquisite shovel coins and handed them to the middle-aged man for 100 yuan.
The middle-aged man smiled and thanked him, then turned around and left.
Shaw coins, also known as cloth coins, are bronze coins from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
It was built in the Zhou, Jin (Han, Zhao, Wei), Ji, Zheng, Song and other places where agriculture was developed in the middle reaches of the Yellow River.
Yan and Chu also had castings.
Scratch coins can be divided into three types: original cloth, empty cloth and flat cloth.
I don't know much about these things, but I just occasionally heard Qi Tianchuan mention that in addition to dealing with the agency's business, his other hobby is collecting antiques.
The shovel coin in my hand was once seen in Qi Tianchuan. It was small in shape, like an iron shovel, with long slabs, flat shoulders, arc feet, and surrounded by Guo. There are raised triangles on the shovel and three parallel vertical patterns on the back of the face. It should be the flat shoulder arc feet empty cloth in the mid-Warring States Period.
According to the current market price of this ancient currency, it is about 3,000 to 5,000 RMB.
Of course, I am talking about the ordinary situation. If you meet someone you like, the price will be higher.
I played with the coins in my hand, but I didn't know whether it was true or not. However, at this time, a faint yin energy came out of the coins, making me look surprised.
"Is this thing still true?"
I murmured in my heart.
In Qi Tianchuan, I have seen some antiques. Those who come out of the ground, that is, the guys taken out by tomb robbers, will contain a hint of evil spirit to the point of view.
I didn't expect that there were also this ancient coin.
"It's weird. If this guy sells all the real thing, then won't he lose his life?"
I looked up at the middle-aged man suspiciously, but saw him walking to another place and began to sell ancient coins without any effort.
As the saying goes, there will be no pie falling from the sky.
This person resells ancient coins so much that he must have other purposes, so he doesn't know what his real purpose is.
I was wondering, but suddenly I heard the crying behind me.
It turned out that Grandma Liu Haotian's body had been cremated. The staff were taking a small red pocket, picking out a few pieces of unfinished bones and putting them in, and handing them to Liu Haotian.
Liu Haotian carefully put the red pocket into the urn, but tears could not help but shed tears on his face.
Because my father's car accident and his injuries have not healed, the matter of holding the ashes can only be handed over to Liu Haotian for his actions.
Unlike the performances in film and television dramas, after the remains are cremated, there are actually many ashes, and they have to be packed all of them. A small jar cannot be filled at all. Moreover, there are so many people cremated in the crematorium, and the staff cannot carefully clean you and collect all the ashes. Maybe whose ashes are there.
Therefore, usually, after a person's body is cremated, the staff will select a few pieces of broken bones that have not been completely burned and handed them to you in a small red pocket. Even if the ashes are received, the rest will be directly disposed of and then cremated by the next deceased.
Ashes, the name is so called, but in fact it is not dusty, and is completely different from the white powder in film and television works.
Seeing Liu Haotian covered his urn.
I didn't have time to think about the middle-aged man, so I quickly put the ancient coin in my pocket and then walked towards him quickly.
Take out a piece of red cloth and cover it on the urn to avoid sunlight. This is a funeral custom, because you are afraid that the soul of your ancestors will be damaged by the yang energy.
Of course, most people's souls dissipate directly after death, but I realized that Grandma Liu Haotian's soul body was still there, so of course they had to take these protections.
"Let's go, mouse, take grandma to the new home first, don't waste time."
Looking at Liu Haotian's sad and helpless look, I reminded him.
"kindness."
Liu Haotian nodded and walked towards the corner of the funeral home with his urn.
There is a storage room where it is specially used to store ashes.
According to the customs in our northeast, if an ancestor dies suddenly (abnormal death), he cannot be buried directly, otherwise it will be detrimental to his family. He usually chooses to store it in the funeral home for three years.
After the three-year period expires, auspicious day will be buried.
Liu Haotian and I walked to the storage room, made records with the staff, took back the storage certificate, and then found the location marked on the certificate and put the urn in.
The storage place is actually a big shelf with small grids next to each other and transparent glass doors outside, which are just like those performed in film and television dramas.
Putting the urn in, Liu Haotian placed the tablet, took out a small incense burner, lit three incense sticks, and worshiped grandma.
I had nothing to do, so I looked around bored.
The small storage room is not big, just a hundred square meters, but there are thousands of urns stored here. Ordinary people will only feel a little cold when they come here.
But through my vagina, I could clearly see the hundreds of ghosts that existed here.
Thousands of urns and only a few hundred ghosts, this number is normal. After all, not everyone can successfully show their soul bodies after death, and most people will dissipate directly.
"Hey, a new neighbor is here."
"Yes, fortunately it's an old lady, otherwise it would be a disaster again."
"Hey, this big girl, what's your name?"
...
The ghosts chatted on their own, and some enthusiastic ones came over and Grandma Liu said hello.
I pretended to be completely unaware of it and eavesdropped on these ghost conversations.
What they said caught my attention.
"Luckily, it's an old lady, otherwise I'll be in trouble again. What does this mean?"
Chapter completed!
