"I forgot to dry this old-fashioned diving suit last time I went into the water. It's all hairy. I need to dry it out some time. Yunfeng, please help me see if there's anything particularly valuable in it."
As he spoke, Brother Yu handed a drawer to me.
"Ducks picked these from the water?"
"Most of them, some were picked up from the water, and some were picked up from the mudflat near the pier."
As mentioned last time, Fish Duck specially made a small backpack. Maybe Echo Duck knew that he had a high consumption and worked hard to earn money for drinks.
Animals are really amazing, just like pigs. Once trained, their noses work better than dogs.
There was a drawer full of "small objects". I flipped through it and found a large number of coins, copper coins, Yuan Datou, longevity locks, gold bracelets, silver bracelets, brass pipes, small portable Buddhas, ring rings, earrings, various
There are a variety of small miscellaneous metal items, and even a sizable diamond ring.
These things have one thing in common, the surface has a strong metallic luster, and because it is in a good state of preservation when it comes out of the puddle, it looks shiny.
"Brother Yu, these things are not only ancient, but also modern. Needless to say, this diamond ring, as well as these rings and earrings, are all modern. Yuan Datou, copper coins, this portable Buddha is old, and this long
The life lock is also from the Qing Dynasty. Although the unit price is not high, it costs a lot of money together. You are saving up and I will help you deal with it when the time comes."
Brother Yu said yes.
I know that Echo Duck's capabilities are more than that. It still lacks a battlefield to show off its abilities. Whether it's Guizailing or Qiandao Lake, it's not a large water tomb in the strict sense. It only has a limited range that no one can enter, and
Only large puddles with fast currents and complex environments can show their value, such as the Jiangkou Shenyin District at the bottom of the Wujiang River. This also explains why the duck was in the hands of Sichuan people before.
In addition, there are many bottles and cans and two bulging hemp bags piled in the corner. Brother Yu said that Dou Sprouts made these all by himself during my absence, and he has already sold a batch of them to the local area.
At the market, it sold for more than 20,000 yuan.
The bottles and jars are all from the Wanqing folk kiln. There are phoenix-pierced peony and blue-and-white gallbladder jars with feather dusters in them, jars with pastel lids for salt and sugar, winter melon jars and general jars for thread and sundries, as well as
A large tea-glazed jar for pickling pickles. There used to be a living area under Qiandao Lake. There is no shortage of these things and there is no end to them.
These were the ones I collected from the village and sold in Panjiayuan. My lot was sold for 4,000 yuan, an average of 4,500 yuan per item. The ones that Dou Sprout picked up from the water were of good quality.
It's very good, just like new, so I estimate that the unit price will not be less than 1,500. After all, there is a saying in the industry that old things must be treasures if they are new.
These things remind me of the joy I felt when I sold them for four thousand yuan, and I can’t help but feel a lot of emotion.
I have changed, but Dou Sprout has never changed, he has always been like this.
"What's wrong Yunfeng, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, let's go, Brother Yu."
On the way back, the two of us chatted.
Brother Yu said that Qiandao Lake has entered a fishing ban period since last week. The local law enforcement bureau and the Fisheries Bureau are investigating illegal electrofishing and those who use boats, bamboo rafts, fishing rafts and other floating facilities to fish in the lake. Those caught will be severely fined.
I said why? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, which is a good time to buy and sell fish. In previous years, the fishing ban was always in July.
Brother Yu shook his head: "Who knows, it's probably the end of the year and I haven't spent all the money yet. I'll find a way to spend it."
For us, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is that there are fewer anglers and fishermen, so the chance of being seen during our activities is small. The bad thing is equally obvious, and it is easy to be discovered by patrol boats.
As the second in command, my duty is to adapt to local conditions and adapt to circumstances.
I'm afraid, I won't come.
For such a long time in Qiandao Lake, the pursuit of the legendary rebel treasure has been unsuccessful, and so much investment has been made. The current situation is difficult to get out of, and we must continue to pursue it. I believe that no matter before, now, or in the future, there are countless people doing this like us.
There is no doubt that we are the group of people closest to the historical truth at this moment.
....
Three o'clock in the afternoon, the West Pier in the north of Qiandao Lake Square.
People who know this West Pier must be over thirty-five years old. They don’t go to the Passenger Terminal Station because there are too many people there, but there are fewer people here at West Pier. There are relatively many private passenger ships, so there is a lot of room for maneuver.
I was wearing designer casual clothes, wearing toad glasses, and carrying a backpack.
Wearing cloth clothes and shoes, she carried a thermos cup.
Xiaoxuan wore blue jeans, a turtleneck sweater, and a thin down jacket, looking youthful and beautiful.
Dou Sprout is the funniest one, wearing a military coat, leather hat and safety shoes, he looks like a sheep herder on the mountain.
Brother Yu didn't come, so someone must be left to look after the house.
At that time, most of the private passenger ships were double-decker wooden ships painted yellow. Tickets were bought after getting on board first. A ticket only cost four yuan. This ship was going to Shendu, so I negotiated the price and chartered the ship.
, this is the advantage of taking a private ship, as long as the money is in place, anything can be negotiated.
As soon as the whistle blew, the ship set off.
We sat on the second deck and enjoyed the scenery along the way. The wind was a bit strong and it was a bit cold.
"Yunfeng, I've smashed more than 20 kilograms. I haven't seen the Jingkang copper coins. Even if I smashed a ton on my head, it might not be enough."
Seeing that Xiaoxuan's expression was a little dejected, I smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged. It's still 180 kilograms. There might be some in it. Just take your time and play with it."
Douyazai held a cigarette in his mouth and said immediately: "Zhao Xuanxuan, I think you are full and have nothing to do. It is a waste! You could have sold it for tens of thousands of yuan, but you smashed it all, and you can't even sell it for three thousand yuan."
"I do! Do you care?"
"Yeah, I can't afford to offend you! Just pretend I didn't say it."
"Hey. Are you guys enjoying the breeze outside?"
While we were chatting, the captain suddenly came up with two big bowls.
The boat owner was in his fifties, with dark and shiny skin. I only knew that his surname was Fang and that he was a local. I knew nothing else about him.
"It's nothing, I just want a few of you to try our local specialties."
As he spoke, he placed two large bowls on the table.
When I looked at it, there were only noodles in the bowl and no other vegetables, not even chopped green onions, but it smelled fragrant.
"What is this? Some noodles?" I asked.
"Haha, this is called glossy noodles. You can only eat it on the ship. It's the perfect bowl to warm your stomach on this cold day."
While we were still talking, Dou Sprout was already using his chopsticks.
He quickly sucked away two chopsticks, his eyes lit up and he said, "It's delicious!"
I also tried it, and it was indeed delicious. There was a layer of oil on the surface, which was fragrant, smooth and refreshing. How can I put it...the taste of cold noodles and the temperature of hot noodles.
The captain smiled and said: "There is something I want to tell you. We must return before twelve o'clock in the evening."
Dou Yaza immediately put down his chopsticks: "Boss, you can't do this! We pay by day! We should have the final say before tomorrow afternoon!"
The captain smiled and said: "That's true, but after twelve o'clock it's not tomorrow."
I understand what he means.
On the surface, they greet you with a smile and bring you water and food, but in fact, it means you have to pay extra.
I expected to be back by noon tomorrow at the latest, so I asked him how much to add.
He held out three fingers, meaning he wanted three thousand yuan.
Dou Sprout was about to have a fit, so I waved my hand and said with a smile: "I'll give you one thousand by noon tomorrow, or else we'll return to the ship now and you'll give us the money back."
After hearing this, he did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he said: "Guys, I don't mean anything else. I'm just asking for your safety. If you want to take pictures, you can go to Snake Island, Monkey Island, and Haihua Island. Basically, everything over there in Nanhu District is
It’s a deserted island. There’s nothing on the island except wild birds. What are you going to do?”
At this time, Xiaoxuan took out a stack of money. She quickly counted ten bills, handed it over and said with a cold face: "Don't talk too much after taking the money. We are just going to see the birds, okay?"
