Li Wen still has more than 40,000 yuan in cash, of which 20,000 yuan in new banknotes with serial numbers and dozens of Leopard numbers are ready for collection.

Li Wen planned to exchange the remaining cash into gold or some precious jade artifacts.

Cultural relics such as banknotes and stamps have been hyped up by large institutions in later generations. There are still many such mass-issued items handed down from generation to generation, but they have been acquired and destroyed by institutions or have been preserved and sold.

Things are valuable when they are rare, and only when they are rare can they be valuable. If Li Wen saved hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Big Black Tens or dozens of stamps and waited until forty or fifty years later to sell them, the outcome would definitely not be good.

These banknotes and stamps can still be sold in small quantities, but if large quantities are released, the market will collapse immediately.

Therefore, whether it is now or in the future, gold is always the best way to sell and the best way to maintain value. No matter how much you save, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it. Moreover, precious metals such as gold and silver have always been internationally interoperable and can be traded in any country.

Can be exchanged for cash.

Even though oil replaced gold's status after the 1970s, and gold decoupled itself from the U.S. dollar, gold's status remains high.

In most cases, gold reserves are still the standard for measuring great powers, and every great country still attaches great importance to its own gold reserves.

Looking at phenomena through their essence, Li Wen, as an old bookworm, saw that his time-traveling peers were aggressively collecting stamps and currencies, and he felt that these peers were all mentally retarded.

Is it useful to pack a few large boxes with one, two or even three sets of currencies and stamps? After the new century, we will not continue to pack the bottom of the boxes.

If you sell in small quantities, it is better not to collect them. If you sell in large quantities, you will definitely be shorted by institutions in large quantities. The price will plummet, and you will lose your pants.

Li Wen also collects, but what he needs are exquisite and unique items, not those things that are speculated on.

Where is Li Wen's hometown? It is an area with a history of five thousand years. To put it bluntly, every time you pick up a hoe, there are cultural relics there.

In Li Wen's previous life, when he was a child, it was in the 1990s. When building a house in the village, digging foundations and digging soil, he could often find cultural relics such as tiles, earthen pots, and copper coins.

Copper coins are completely children's toys, rolled and played with, and even used as slingshot bullets. No one cares about them.

Even in the 21st century, the concept of the value of cultural relics has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin Province, there is no family that does not have some copper coins thrown at the bottom of the box, but they just think it is not valuable and do not take it seriously.

After Li Wen checked the cash, the next thing was some bills. Over the past year or so, he had purchased and exchanged quite a lot of bills.

There were four types of notes in this era known as the second set of currencies.

The first category is regional bills that are common to ordinary people. These generally have an expiration date and will become invalid if not used.

The second category is food stamps that are universal across the country (and of course treasury bills, which are rare and not popular.)

The third category is military tickets. As the name suggests, military tickets are exclusively for the military, so they generally do not appear in areas, and even if they do, they are not allowed to be consumed.

However, there is an exception for military stamps, which are military cloth stamps. Like national food stamps, these stamps can be used nationwide and are very valuable.

The fourth category is Qiao's money order, which is very precious and is issued by the state specifically for Qiao people and their families.

Li Wen now has a box full of bills. The bills from Qin Province account for 80%. They are basically some food stamps and valuable industrial product bills. Common ones like matches and light bulbs are not left by Li Wen.

I checked the records in the mobile phone files and found that there were more than 3,000 kilograms of regional coarse grain stamps, more than 100 kilograms of fine grain stamps, and more than 400 various industrial stamps.

What's left is more than 300 kilograms of national food stamps and more than ten feet of military cloth stamps. Overseas Chinese money orders cannot be received in small counties.

Li Wen plans to get rid of all these regional bills and replace them with national food stamps or physical items.ωωw..net

Regional bills have a shelf life, and Li Wen has to use his mobile phone to record them every time he takes them back, which is very troublesome.

The redemption target in a small county town is too obvious. It is more convenient in a big city like Chang'an. Li Wen is going to travel to more places to redeem all these things.

The rest is the gold and silver dollars collected by Li Wen. After more than half a year of acquisition, the gold has accumulated to more than 30 kilograms and the silver dollars have reached more than 2,000 yuan.

Nothing has a greater impact than real gold and silver. Li Wen was very satisfied with the golden gold and was ready to continue to grow bigger and stronger in Chang'an City.

After spending more than two hours taking inventory of the space, Li Wen looked at the wealth he had created over the past year. At this time, he was full of energy and motivation.

Looking at the time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Li Wen cut a handful of leeks in the small vegetable patch on the second floor. He planned to make a leek box to reward himself tonight.

I scrambled four eggs, grabbed a handful of vermicelli and soaked them until they were ready, and started making them.

There is a lazy man's magic tool in the kitchen. Li Wen poured the vermicelli, eggs, leeks and seasonings into the food processor, pressed it a few times, and half the filling was ready.

Li Wen was also an expert at home in his previous life. He was proficient in steaming steamed buns and making pancakes. He boiled half a bowl of noodles, let them rise for half an hour, and then started cooking.

Today Li Wen made a box of fried leeks, which was a luxury. If he left it outside for his mother to see, he would probably be beaten to death.

After working for forty minutes, all the large pots of leek boxes were out of the pot. Li Wen also took the time to make millet porridge and local cold dishes.

"It's beautiful! This all-natural rapeseed fried vegetable is so fragrant, and paired with millet porridge and kimchi, it's perfect." Li Wen ate five in a row before putting down his chopsticks.

"Are you two reincarnated by starving ghosts? Go and eat your steamed buns quickly. Just let you try one of these vegetable boxes. I made them just to serve you two, and you're addicted to them." He looked at his feet.

Li Wen scolded the two dogs who were about to serve the table.

Looking at Erhei's shameless appearance, he was still preparing to steal his job secretly.

"Hey! You kicked him in the face." Li Wen took off his shoes and threw him, causing Erhei to start croaking like a goose.

"Go get my shoes." Li Wen said to Dahei who was trembling with fear.

Dahei, with his tail between his legs, secretly looked at Li Wen and took the shoes for Li Wen obscenely.

"Now you're obedient. You've done a good job. I'll give you a piece of braised meat." Li Wen picked up a piece of meat from the table and threw it towards Dahei.

In his previous life, Li Wen had a very well-behaved dog. He would not eat the meat even if it came to his mouth. Only when Li Wen put it on the ground did he dare to eat it. Li Wen decided to train these two guys well, but they were both spoiled by him.

After resting for a night, Li Wen took out the bicycle he secretly bought in the county and left the space.
