Chapter 57 The smell of earth is very heavy

He stuffed the Xuande furnace into his arms. Although it was bulging, if Chen Wenzhe didn't take it out, would he be searched if someone saw it?

As for gold bars, just keep them in your pocket.

Six gold bars, heavy. This should be the so-called large yellow croaker.

During the Republic of China, the so-called large yellow croaker weighed 10 taels per piece, and the weight of a small yellow croaker was 1 tael per piece.

But there is a knowledge point that is easy to make mistakes. Weights and measures during the Republic of China were different from those after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At that time, one pound was 16 taels, which means one tael was smaller than now.

Now one pound is equal to 10 taels, and one tael is 50 grams.

At that time, it needs to be divided by 16, and one or two calculations are 31 grams.

Therefore, if the large yellow croaker is calculated into grams, it is about 312 grams, and the small yellow croaker is about 31 grams.

Obviously, what Chen Wenzhe found were large yellow croakers, each weighing 312 grams.

According to the current gold price of 370, one piece is worth more than 110,000, and these six pieces are worth almost 700,000.

If you think about it this way, treasure hunting is much better than deceiving people.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe felt a little regretful. Why did he sell the porcelain when he had made it distressed?

I lost points in front of Professor Tao in vain and left a bad reputation.

"You have to be careful in the future." Chen Wenzhe was a little annoyed.

Then he thought about the Qian family. They were indeed big landowners. They could easily take out six gold bars by leaving a retreat in the mountains.

Chen Wenzhe believes that the path left behind must be more than this.

However, even these six gold bars, not counting the Xuande furnace, are still a huge wealth.

Take the real estate in Yanjing in the Republic of China as an example. In 1924, Mr. Lu Xun, as we all know him, took a fancy to a courtyard house and sold it from the landlord for 800 yuan.

The exchange rate at that time was that one tael of gold could be exchanged for 30 silver dollars. In other words, three large yellow croakers were enough, including the renovation.

Therefore, in that era, gold should not be too valuable!

If you had 10 large yellow croakers at home, you would be a multimillionaire today.

It seems that the Qian family's old house still needs some attention.

I returned home happily. Before I entered the yard, I saw the tall figure standing in the yard.

"Brother, are you back? It's already twenty-eight today. If you don't come back, the New Year will be over!"

Seeing Chen Qingchuan, Chen Wenzhe almost jumped up with joy.

Chen Wenzhe ran into the yard and gave his elder brother a hug.

"So enthusiastic? What are you carrying on your kid? It's all bulging!"

"Good stuff!" Chen Wenzhe let go of Chen Qingchuan with a smile on his face.

However, after seeing the changes in meaning on his eldest brother's face, Chen Wenzhe's smile disappeared.

Ever since he was little, his eldest brother has doted on him.

When he was in college, his family was in trouble. Chen Qingchuan did not choose to find a job when he retired and only received more than 200,000 yuan, so now he can only work outside.

It is naturally not easy to work outside. Without much education, you can only work in a factory to make screws.

I'm tired, I don't have much salary, so I'm twenty-eight years old, and I don't even have a girlfriend.

Chen Qingchuan looked at his brother with a smile, his expression was quite rich.

"I heard that you made money? And you gave your family 100,000?"

"Where is that? I'm afraid of scaring dad, otherwise I can give him more!"

"Huh? It seems like you really made money?"

"Definitely. I went to the antique city with my classmates and unexpectedly found a Warring States sword coin worth more than one million!"

Chen Qingchuan fell silent. The value exceeded one million, how could it fall on his brother so easily?

"Don't worry, it's legal. Otherwise, transferring money will be a hassle. Now if it exceeds 100,000, it will be tracked by the bank. If it were illegal, someone would have come to your door a long time ago."

Chen Wenzhe is not stupid, so he naturally knows what his elder brother is worried about.

"What is this? It couldn't have been brought from the tomb, right? The earthy smell is very strong!"

Just when he felt relieved, he saw Chen Wenzhe take out a small incense burner from his pocket.

This small incense burner has been wrapped in mud for decades, so it naturally has a strong earthy smell.

"A Xuande furnace, I found it from Qingshi Village before I looked carefully!"

"Qingshi Village? Everything has been searched over there. Is there anything left?"

Chen Qingchuan was surprised. When he was a child, he often hunted for treasure there. Of course, now it should be said to be hide and seek.

Regarding his eldest brother, Chen Wenzhe has nothing to hide.

"The clay incense burner in the mountain temple, the clay outside is a disguise, and this thing is wrapped inside!"

"Ah?" Chen Qingchuan looked at Chen Wenzhe in surprise.

Of course he knew about that incense burner. This summer he went into the mountains and lit a stick of smoke on it. He didn't expect that there was such a small incense burner hidden inside.

A dilapidated clay incense burner in a mountain temple. Who would have thought that there might be something hidden inside?

"Put it away! By the way, where are your parents? Why haven't you seen them?" Chen Qingchuan said softly.

"Going to do business, right?"

The two brothers entered the main room, and Chen Wenzhe talked about some things that had happened at home recently.

"Chaotian Pot, Gold Brick! You really can do it!"

"You mean that ancient tomb, right?" Chen Wenzhe's voice was a little louder. This was his proud work.

"Keep your voice down!" Chen Qingchuan's face became a little strange, as if he was blushing.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wenzhe looked at his elder brother in surprise.

"Your sister-in-law is sleeping in the west bedroom!"

Chen Wenzhe looked at his eldest brother speechlessly, no wonder he was blushing, it turned out he had a girlfriend.

We promised to grow old together, but you secretly found a girlfriend.

I thought he didn't even have a girlfriend and was still pitying him, but it turned out that he was the poor man.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I have a sister-in-law!

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant. She has been working for a day and is very tired." Chen Qingchuan explained with a blushing face.

Chen Wenzhe opened his mouth and looked at his elder brother in surprise. He is a master!

I thought they were all single, but I didn’t expect that they even have children!

"Already have children? We can't get married this year. Will we get married next year? Where is my sister-in-law from? She can't be from our local area, right? Even if she is local, she still has to buy a house outside."

Chen Wenzhe's mind began to work at high speed. It was not easy for a rural boy to get married.

Not to mention anything else, a house, a car, and a bride price, these three things are a must.

Don't talk about material things. Marriage must have a certain material foundation, otherwise it is better not to get married.

Poor and low-income couples are miserable. Without money, it is difficult to maintain a marriage.

"Where is my sister-in-law from?"

"I'm from Dahai City. I met while working. We fell in love and got together. We've known each other for four or five years. I accidentally got pregnant this year!"

It’s been four or five years, how can I bear it!

Chen Wenzhe understood that she was pregnant and had no choice but to take her home.

It seems that we will celebrate the New Year at home this year. Such a woman is worth cherishing!

"It's a bit troublesome from Dahai City. What are your plans for the future?"
