World A, December 16, 2009 A.D.

East Kitchen Residence Hotel.

"Yo, Old Mu, why are you here in person?" Su Xue warmly greeted the visiting Mu Haogu.

“...... Xiao Wang, come over and help, take this box to the office......" He called two more waiters and moved the lockbox brought by Mu Haogu into the office.

"Oh, Lao Mu, it's really hard for you old man!" Su Ze grinned and brought a cup of tea.

"I'm so tired!" Mu Haogu sat on the sofa and drank several cups of tea in a row. "Phew, it's finally delivered to you, I can breathe a sigh of relief......" he said, gesturing to the lockbox.

Su Ze smiled: "It's just delivery, you can just call a few subordinates, and you need to run in person?"

"You are talking lightly, these things of yours are worth a lot of money, if something goes wrong, will I pay for it?" Mu Haogu rolled his eyes, patted the box and said, "Ancestor, this batch of antique gold and silver coins and molds you ordered have all been done." Well, it's all here, you can get someone to identify it right away......"

Mu Haogu opened the lockbox, and the room was suddenly filled with gold and silver brilliance. Inside are dozens of stacks of gold and silver coins, each of which is wrapped in plastic to form a cylindrical shape.

"Well, there are 537 gold coins of the two types and 1,765 silver coins of the three types. It is completely made according to the samples you sent, and the weight, color, size, and pattern are all exactly the same!" Mu Haogu picked up a stack of gold coins and handed it to Su Ze, and said confidently.

Su Ze took the gold coin, opened the plastic seal, and took out one and looked at it carefully. I took out another sample and compared the patterns, then took out the balance and caliper, and measured the weight and dimensions. Finally, a spectral metal detector was taken out to identify the fineness of the gold and silver coins.

After more than an hour, Su Xue, who had finished comparing several gold and silver coins, nodded and said with a smile: "Lao Mu, you did a good job, it's exactly the same, hehe." What a master of fakes!"

"Of course, you don't look at whose work it is. Our family's craftsmanship, that's absolutely no problem!" Mu Haogu smiled proudly, and habitually took out the folding fan with "Imperial Court Henchman" written on the front and "Party-State Humeral Stock" written on the back, brushed it open, and fanned it a few times.

Su Zezhi rolled his eyes when he saw this set, and secretly slandered in his heart: Damn, this guy is really pretending, and he still has a fan in winter.

"Well, Lao Mu, how much do these cost?" Su Ze put down the spectral metal detector and asked.

Mu Haogu took out a notebook and calculated while reading the records: "Well, the material cost is." The gold is yours to make, it doesn't count. The current market price of silver is 4,000 yuan a kilogram, and a total of 9.32 kilograms are used. And a few taels of copper, that's it...... The other is molding, five sets of molds, each set of 12,500. The labor cost is 20,000 yuan. There are other miscellaneous expenses, you can give me a total of 120,000 yuan......"

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you right away...... I'm really bothering you this time, hehe......" Su Xue nodded and immediately transferred money on the computer.

He himself also understands the market, Mu Haogu's fees are quite favorable, if you go to other handicraft companies or gold shops to order, the price is at least half higher.

After receiving the account information, Mu Haogu couldn't help but say: "Ancestor, let me say something unpleasant, your relatives want to play this, it's not a big deal." Now on the market, the business of making this kind of antique gold and silver coins is not very good. We're experts......"

"Hehe, he doesn't buy it in China, he mainly takes it abroad and buys it as a handicraft. Su Ze explained with a smile.

Mu Haogu sneered and said: "Cut, foreigners are not stupid, how can they be so easy to fool! Moreover, these ancient coins are all fabricated, which cannot be hidden from connoisseurs, and I am afraid that they can only be bought as handicrafts." ”

Su Ze smiled: "Hehe, whatever." Anyway, I'm just helping, and it's his business whether the business is good or not. ”

................................................................................................

After sending Mu Haogu away, Su Xue put this batch of gold and silver coins into the cave.

"It seems that the gold and silver coins of the Han Empire are still the traditional style of round square holes. Su Ze picked up an original Dahan gold coin and played with it in his hand.

The gold coin is 25 mm in diameter, 1 mm thick, and weighs about 5 grams. The fineness standard is 90% for gold and 5% for silver and 5% for copper. The front pattern is the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, the Xuanwu four divine beasts, and the back is the "Huang Han five baht" four seal characters, surrounded by water patterns and cloud patterns. There are also teeth on the Qian Guo to prevent scraping.

Silver coins are slightly larger than gold coins, with a diameter of 32 mm. The patterns, patterns, and letterings are all exactly the same. The gold and silver coins are very delicately made, looking antique and very traditional. However, its process is no longer traditional casting, but forging.

This time, in addition to the two gold and silver coins of the Han Empire, there are also two gold and silver coins of the Elf Empire. The Elf's gold and silver coins are round silver coins, which are heavier than the coins of the Han Dynasty, weighing about 8 grams each, and there is no text on the coin, but the pattern is more delicate and complex. It is mainly based on a variety of flowers and plants. The coin has a pattern resembling a rose on the obverse and some kind of broad-leaved tree on the reverse. The silver coins appear to be orchids and conifers.

There is also a silver coin with a text very similar to the Norse Runa script, with a lion-like beast and an eagle with wings outstretched. This is what Mu Haogu called "apocryphal Nordic ancient coins". According to Rusya, this coin is used by a race called "stone spirits", and it is also more popular on the mainland.

The samples of this batch of gold and silver coins were all picked up by Su Xue on the elven dead ghosts who were killed by the giant pigs. In fact, there were more than these coins he picked up, but some of them were too different from the earth script, so they were not copied to prevent trouble.

He is now making these gold and silver coins to use when he goes to the Elven Empire. As the saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero, and in a more developed society, it is not okay to have no money in your pocket. Although Rusya is rich, Su Xue doesn't have the habit of eating soft rice, and besides, he doesn't lack this money, but he doesn't have local currency.

In the afternoon of the same day, he purchased some other supplies, said hello to the manager in charge, Zhang Mei, and returned to the old house to prepare.

When Rusya got the map a month ago, she was eager to return home to report on the mission. It's just that I can't walk, so I have to continue to cultivate in the cave. In the past few days, her injuries have almost recovered, and although her combat strength has not fully recovered, there is no problem with her movements.

So she was anxious and proposed to Su Xue that she would return to China immediately. She was worried that someone else would get ahead of her.

For Su Ze, this request is also in line with his heart. So the preparations have been made for the past few days. Now that the coins are in hand, it's all done.

Tomorrow, it's time to head to the Elven Empire!
