Jin Fenghuang was overjoyed. He directed his men to use a wheel to lower the rope and bring up all the big clay pots, including broken ones and good ones.
He waved to me: "Come and take a look, kid. There are so many. Let's see how much they are worth."
Some clay pots were still sealed and unopened, so I looked at the broken ones.
The piles of copper coins were covered with green beads and were rusty. Using the light of my headlight, I picked up a handful scattered on the ground and looked at them carefully. Some of them had words that could be read clearly, while others were very rusty.
I didn't give up and picked at it again, and it seemed that I saw these Song coins after turning over and over.
These are not valuable, they are basically all in small flat coins, and some small quantities can be discounted at 5 cents or 10 cents.
During the Song Dynasty, Yinchuan was the territory of Xixia. How could there be a Song coin cellar? Damn it, could it be left behind by a merchant who was doing business back then?
Jin Fenghuang happily asked me how it was and how much it was worth.
What do I say?
If this brick cellar was from Xixia and the jars contained Xixia coins, they would be valuable, but they were all the most rubbish Song coins.
I also collected these in Mohe. If I remember correctly, these Song coins were in Beijing, and the price at that time was thirty cents a piece...
Maybe someone in good condition can give you 50 cents each...
My life is in their hands now.
He asked me how much it was worth.
If I tell the truth: "One is 30 yuan, one hundred is 30 yuan, one thousand is 300 yuan, you go and count it."
Then I was buried alive.
So I lied and said, "You're lucky. You dug up a brick cellar from the Northern Song Dynasty. These are all copper coins from the Song Dynasty. They are eight hundred years old. There are so many of them. I don't know how much they are worth."
When Jin Fenghuang heard this, he quickly asked someone to come over and load the car.
He patted my cheek and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad. Aza is right to recommend you. You will be of great use. How about it? I am short of talents now. Follow me."
I looked calm on the surface, but felt relieved inside.
I waved my hand and said, "This is nothing, it's just a small fight. Now do you believe what I said before? If you can find those ancient tombs in the Alxa Desert, then you will really make a fortune."
Jin Fenghuang thought for a while, looked at the boys who were loading the car and asked me: "Do these have one million?"
I thought to myself: "If you don't have one million, you don't even know if you have ten thousand yuan. Even if you have a few thousand yuan, people don't necessarily want it."
"Well... it should be about the same." I lied to him.
"Good!" Jin Fenghuang praised me and said, "You did a good job. Once the money is sold, it will naturally benefit you. As long as you continue to help me like this in the future, let's forget the past."
I nodded quickly and said yes.
"Then...can I go back?"
Jin Fenghuang smiled.
"Of course, you can go back, but remember to come to me in the next two days to discuss the next tomb."
The money from tomb robbing was so fast, Jin Fenghuang had tasted the benefits for the first time, and he couldn't wait.
After installing the pots, I drove away from the dairy farm and into the city. At the entrance of an Agricultural Bank of China, Jin Fenghuang asked me to get out of the car because I promised him in the car that I would come to him when I went back to clean up and help him continue searching.
Tomb, let him make money.
It was just dawn, the office workers hadn't gotten up yet, and the roads were deserted.
I was able to escape death this time, except for Aza who didn't cheat me. It was luck that played a big part.
Later I heard that Jin Fenghuang himself invited several antique dealers from out of town to come and view the goods.
As a result, two people did not want it, and the other person quoted a package price of 7,500 yuan.
Jin Fenghuang was stunned on the spot.
He was so angry that he beat up the antique dealer who came to inspect the goods.
