Chapter Twenty-Six: Cigarettes for Copper Coins
There were many people and heavy things, so my brother-in-law and Guan Xingquan drove the jeep and pulled three sacks back first, saying that they would pile up in the yard of Zhang Nan's house first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Nan didn't go back together, but went to the foundation that was being excavated.
The laborers were digging with rakes and hoes, and the foundation was not yet deep, so they made a small slope and used small carts to transport the soil.
"Master, this man is tired of digging the foundation. ”
Zhang Nan said to a middle-aged migrant worker who was digging with a five-tooth iron rake, and handed him a cigarette by the way.
"It's okay, just rely on your strength to eat. ”
The man took the cigarette and took out a match and lit it.
"I dug up a pile of rotten copper coins in the morning, do you still have them?" Zhang Nan asked directly.
The man glanced at Zhang Nan, "Do you want it?"
"Well, love this, cigarette change. ”
When this person heard this, he turned around and shouted, "Lin Laosan, come here." ”
Still a middle-aged man, he walked over with an iron rake.
"What's the matter?"
"In the morning, I saw that you had hidden a lot of copper coins, and this young man asked for cigarettes. ”
When Lin Laosan heard this, he dug directly into the pocket of his patched coat, "That's all, if you want you to take it, just look at it." ”
It's about half a pound smaller.
Zhang Nan smiled in his heart when he saw this person, "Isn't this the one who sold his copper money twenty years later?" ”
took the copper coin, and without looking at it, he took out two packs of "Honka" from his pocket and handed them to the other party.
The other party happily stuffed the cigarette in his pocket, quite happy.
"Is there anyone else?"
Two more cigarettes were handed to the two men.
"No, the steward looked at it closely, saying that he would deduct money from things. You can't fool me, young man!" the man warned.
"Don't worry, I won't be able to take it from the steward. Zhang Nan replied with a smile.
At this time, seeing Wang Debiao coming over, the migrant workers who were working hurriedly walked away, bowing their heads and not being lazy.
"What are you doing, Xiao Zhang?"
Zhang Nan raised his head, "You didn't say that you dug up an ancient tomb, I'm asking." “
"Not here, over there. Wang Debiao pointed to the other end of the factory foundation, seventy or eighty meters away.
"Let's go, let's see. ”
Wang Debiao was not interested, but he still walked over together.
There were still a lot of excavated tomb bricks and broken pottery pieces piled up by the foundation pit, Zhang Nan picked up the broken pottery and looked at it casually.
Mesh twill, it could have been a two-series tank or something.
"It was dug up more than half a meter underground, and the whole grave was flat, and several rotten jars were broken, and it was useless. Wang Debiao said on the side.
"The things of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this brick is from that time. Zhang Nan kicked a few large tomb bricks with the same oblique grid pattern under his feet, "It's been almost two thousand years, and the water seeping into the mud in the tomb has already collapsed for hundreds of years." ”
"By the way, Xiao Zhang, I want to ask you something. In the first two years, I built a house in Chenghuang Mountain and dug up a grave, which is much more than this. As a result, the inside was full of mud, which was harder than the soil outside, and it took a lot of effort. ”
Wang Debiao asked curiously when he heard that Zhang Nan could say one, two, three, four.
"Not all of the ancient tombs on this TV can be walked into, why are we here, why are there so many mud in the tomb? I have dug a lot of old graves in the past to build houses, but I have never seen such a thing. ”
He also pointed to the tomb bricks underground, "And, just like this time, not to mention the coffin inside, not even a dead man's bones are visible." ”
Zhang Nan smiled and said, "There is little rain in the north, so the ancient tomb is well preserved, and there is not much muddy water seeping into it." Once hundreds or thousands of years have passed, the tomb is full of mud, and we are going to die!"
Saying that, Zhang Nan also picked up a lump of soil and showed it to Wang Debiao, "Our soil here is still acidic soil, thousands of years of ancient tombs, not to mention coffins, even the bones and slag have been corroded, there will be a little porcelain, pottery, bronze or something, not as well preserved as the treasures in the north." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a tea garden on the low hill next to him and said, "It's good to grow tea, but even if it's bronze, it can rot into slag if you're not careful." ”
"But I don't think those rotten copper coins are not rotten, and I can see the words clearly. Wang Debiao heard it and said.
"It's not been buried for a long time, and when it's buried, there should be a wooden box or something like that, so it's okay to preserve. ”
Zhang Nan is also just guessing.
"By the way, doesn't it mean that bronzes are not all found in the north, we also have them?"
"Why does this person look like a curious baby?" Zhang Nan complained in his heart.
"There are bronzes, not much. We didn't set up a county until the Han Dynasty, but there should be people in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Besides, there were also bronzes to accompany the burial in the Han Dynasty, but there were not many, and they were not very high-grade. ”
"By the way, Brother Wang, next time if something is dug up, I have to trouble you to say hello. ”
"No problem, who are we with whom!" Wang Debiao said boldly.
After a while, the jeep returned.
Zhang Nan also stopped "popularizing archaeological knowledge" with Comrade Wang Debiao, pulled two sacks of copper coins, and went home.
"Come home for dinner in the evening. The brother-in-law said to Wang Debiao when he left.
"Next time, next time, I'm going to go to the movies with my wife today, next time. ”
......
"Anan, are there any plays in these sacks?" Xiang Weirong asked him as he drove.
Zhang Nan took out two small copper coins from his trouser pocket, "Brother-in-law, with just these two coins, I can earn back the cost I spent today!"
"Really, can it be worth that much?"
"Really! truer than gold!"
Two emerald green thin rust copper coins, with the book "Dragon and Phoenix Tongbao", one small flat and one folded three-type.
If you grab a few at random, you can find two, and it's strange if you don't get rich!
30 years later, the first-class condition of this wide opening, the two pieces add up to 50,000 or 60,000, don't ask!
There was nothing to say all the way, and the jeep drove back to Zhang Nan's house.
Unloaded and piled under the eaves of the yard with the original three sacks.
"If the copper coins in these sacks are all in this proportion, it is estimated that they can make a lot of money. Zhang Nan said with certainty.
The three of them were hungry, so they went out first and ate some at random.
As soon as he got to work in the afternoon, Zhang Nan went to the unit to report his work, and Section Chief Ding praised him and called the director of the bureau.
went to the director's office to report the work together, as expected, in addition to verbal praise, Director Guo Guoqiang also made a decision: this time I want to give Zhang Nan a credit, and after the bureau's party committee studies it, we will decide how to give specific rewards.
The full reimbursement of the reimbursement was a thick stack of "great unity" stuffed in his pocket, and by the way, he also asked the section chief for a few days off.
This time, Section Chief Ding spoke very well, and directly gave 10 days of vacation without deducting bonuses as a reward, which can be regarded as making up for the leave of the two business trips together.
So I called Cao'e Transfer Station and asked them to find a way to buy two train tickets to Greentown, the capital of Gui Province, the sooner the better, even if the price is increased.
The phone came back an hour later, and the ticket for tomorrow at noon, hard sleep, luck is okay.
Because it is also a relationship on the railway, the ticket seller adds 20 yuan per ticket.
Hurry up and organize your things, this trip can be easy to get into battle.
By the time his brother-in-law helped Guan Xingquan "move" to Zhang Nan, he had already opened a sack in the living room, sat on a small bench, put a bucket on the side, and was cleaning and sorting several copper coins with a brush for brushing shoes.
"Brother Guan, the room is ready for you. ”
The room on the first floor has beds, cabinets, tables, chairs and benches, and the rolls still smell of mothballs.
After settling down, Zhang Nan said again: "When my aunt comes, I will live in my house on the second floor, and I will move to the room where my parents used to live." ”
"That's fine. The brother-in-law said, he didn't bother to ask Guan Xingquan's opinion.
"By the way, Brother Guan, let's go to Gui Province tomorrow to do business, no problem, right?" Zhang Nan asked.
"No problem, do you want to take the guys?"
