Ma Jinlan's knot in her heart had been relieved, Aunt Duan didn't show up, the food was cooked and served on the Kang table.
The four of them had dinner together happily.
After dinner, it seemed that it was still some time before dark, and now Lu Lu was back. At night, there was no need for them to accompany them in the wooden engraving. Ma Jinlan and Aunt Duan refused Lu Lu's offer to stay, and made an appointment to go back to Xiushan together.
Tun.
After sending them away, the couple immediately returned home.
They were all looking forward to what they would bring back. After entering the house, Lu Lu immediately closed the door, bolted it, then went back to the bedroom and took out the hunting bag.
The two couldn't wait to get on the kang and sat opposite each other across the kang table. They felt that the oil lamp was not bright enough, so Lu Lu even took out a flashlight.
Lu Lu took out all the things wrapped in oilcloth in the hunting bag and put them on the big kang.
Chen Xiuyu lit the flashlight, and Lu Lu picked up the first and largest oilcloth bag and placed it on the kang table, carefully untied the string tied to it, and then unfolded the oilcloth little by little.
This scene made Lu Lu feel like he was opening a blind box.
The things were wrapped very well, and the oil paper was also wrapped in layers.
The largest oilcloth bag was opened, and inside was a thick bundle of large unity.
It was a surprise at first to see how many there were.
The couple looked at each other and divided the big bundle into two piles, one for each person.
The large bills were counted in stacks one by one and placed on the table. It took a few minutes to finish the counting. Looking at the ten stacks of banknotes on the table, Chen Xiuyu was a little dazed: "Ten thousand... a full ten thousand! So many.
money!"
"Opening a big car shop, I usually make some money every day, plus the cooperation with those gangsters, well... not too much, normal!"
Lu Lu took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. Not to mention that he made a lot of money in business in his previous life. Even in this life, the income from hunting alone and all the processing of everything can amount to tens of thousands.
This little money didn't surprise him.
The key is, this money is free, this is the excitement!
Chen Xiuyu didn't have the same endurance as him. Looking at the money, her breathing became a little quick.
In these days, this money is a huge amount of money for most people. If someone is aware of it, it is something they would risk their lives to make plans for.
She tilted her head to look at the other things placed next to her, and urged: "Quick, quick, quick, open it and take a look!"
Lu Lu looked at her excited face and felt worried.
Obviously, these things wrapped in oilcloth are probably not too simple. If something extraordinary were to come out again, Chen Xiuyu would be overly excited.
"Don't be so excited, okay? I don't dare to open the door if you are too excited! The mood swings are too big, which will have a great impact on the children!" Lu Lu said while putting the money together again.
Tied into a bundle.
"Our family has more money than this, so it's not like... Hehe!" Chen Xiuyu smiled more and more.
"Don't be so surprised!"
Lu Lu warned and put the money aside.
Next, he picked up another oilcloth bag and placed it on the Kang table. He also untied the string and opened the oilcloth layer by layer.
The contents in the second oilcloth bag are much more normal. They are food stamps, cloth stamps, oil stamps, meat stamps and industrial stamps tied into small bundles with rubber bands. Count them and you will find that there are a lot of them, but compared to the money, they are small.
Much less.
However, this is a good thing for Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu.
The role of various bills will continue to weaken in the future, but often, without these bills, there are certain things that even money cannot buy.
Lu Lu settled in this meadow, and all the bills he used in the past were exchanged for money from people in the district, and then used together with the money.
Well, now that I have these bills, I won’t have to go through the process of exchanging bills for a long time.
"Hold on to these tickets from now on," Lu Lu warned.
In a few years, even if the bills are still in circulation, if you don't have the bills, you can still use money to get things done. Saving money is the way to go.
Chen Xiuyu tied these bills up again with rubber bands and placed them next to her.
Then, Lu Lu picked up a long oilcloth bag. After opening the oilcloth, there was a long wooden box inside. When he opened it, Lu Lu was stunned.
The wooden box is filled with white flour, which smells fragrant.
Lu Lu picked up some with his fingers, rubbed it in his hands, and then went over to smell it. The flour-like thing looked familiar, but he couldn't recognize what it was for a while.
"I can't tell what this is for the moment, but it feels very familiar. Wife, look at what this white flour is!" Lu Lu looked up at Chen Xiuyu opposite.
When Chen Xiuyu saw this thing, she also frowned. She also reached out to pick up some flour and rubbed it. She also put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it: "I also feel very familiar...it seems...it seems...
"
She said "it seems so" several times, but she couldn't explain why.
Just when Lu Lu thought she couldn't recognize it, Chen Xiuyu shouted out: "It seems to be glutinous rice flour, fried glutinous rice flour!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Lu couldn't help but be slightly startled, thinking of something in his mind.
"What does it mean to make a wooden box to put fried glutinous rice noodles in?" Chen Xiuyu asked with a puzzled look on her face.
As she spoke, she was about to dig into the flour with her fingers to see if there was anything else inside, but Lu Lu stopped her: "Don't move!"
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiuyu quickly retracted her hand.
"If I guessed correctly, there should be a mallet inside!"
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he got off the kang, put on his sandals, and went to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks and a bowl.
Sitting down cross-legged on the kang again, he picked up the box and pulled out the flour bit by bit into a specially dried bowl. As Lu Lu expected, there was indeed a dry stick lying in the box.
It was not considered to be very good, but it was very old and well-kept. Lu Lu made a preliminary judgment that it was no less than a hundred years old and when it was alive, it should have been a fifth-grade leaf stick.
He immediately went back to the house, took the small spoon he got from Jiang Zewei, carefully took out the mallet, shook off the flour on it, put it in the spoon and weighed it, and estimated that there were about one hundred and ten.
Gram or so.
One kilogram of fresh stick weighs about 0.35 kilograms after drying, which is calculated according to the ratio of one-third. In other words, when the stick is fresh, it can weigh 330 grams.
The appearance is close to seven taels.
Seven taels are ginseng and eight taels are treasures. This is based on the old system's calculation of half a catty and eight taels.
In other words, this mallet weighing about 330 grams is more than the eight liang of the old one. According to this classification, this mallet is also a real treasure.
I really don’t know how Jin Zhiquan got such a good thing. In future generations, it would be a real fortune.
"How do you know the stuff inside is made of sticks?" Chen Xiuyu asked a little strangely.
Lu Lu smiled and said, "You reminded me!"
"Did I remind you?" Chen Xiuyu was a little dazed.
"After you told me that this is glutinous rice noodles and they are fried, it reminded me of a way to preserve sticks for a long time. That is to find a sealed container and sprinkle three centimeters of white sugar on the bottom of the container.
Then fry the glutinous rice flour, wrap the ginseng with the fried glutinous rice flour, place it in a container with white sugar, and seal it. This method is suitable for long-term storage of the sticks."
Lu Lu only learned about this method when he came across someone who used this method to preserve sticks when collecting mountain goods.
At this time, most people don't even know what a desiccant is, but the older generation is smart and uses white sugar and fried glutinous rice flour instead, which can also have very good results.
Although it was packed in a wooden box, it was wrapped tightly in oilcloth and was sealed very well.
Lu Lu carefully put the mallet back, poured the glutinous rice flour in the bowl, covered the mallet again, carefully wrapped it with oil paper, closed the wooden box again, and carefully wrapped the wooden box with the removed oil paper
stand up.
Seeing this thing, Lu Lu felt a little excited again.
On the other hand, Chen Xiuyu didn't know much about Bang Chui, she only knew that it was valuable, but in her heart, the status was definitely far inferior to that of 10,000 yuan, so her reaction was mediocre.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Lu had to carefully warn: "This thing must be kept carefully, and be sure not to damage it, otherwise it will not be valuable."
Lu Lu couldn't understand the next few things to be dismantled.
One of the oilcloth bags was opened, and inside was a jade object, which looked like a snuff bottle.
The jade is delicate and warm, with bright luster and rich colors. It should be the most famous Xiu jade among the eight jade stones in Northeast China. It should be an old item.
Another object wrapped in oilcloth is a Buddha pendant carved from peridot.
Then there are a few small porcelain dishes.
Lu Lu didn't do much research on these things and couldn't see why, but he knew that these things must be antiques.
As for whether it was worth the money, Lu Lu couldn't tell.
This thing needs to be appraised by knowledgeable people to know.
He couldn't judge, so he could only keep it well.
Yes, it is absolutely right to place these old objects properly!
For this reason, Lu Lu had to give Chen Xiuyu a good warning: "I can't tell whether these things are good or bad, but they must be some old objects, and they may be very valuable, but they must be kept well, and they must not be
Take it out and see people."
Seeing that Lu Lu was serious about what he said, Chen Xiuyu nodded repeatedly. She pointed at the top of the wood carving: "Put it up!"
"I'll ask Zuo Songling to make a thick box to hide them another day." Lu Lu nodded.
In the end, only two small oilcloth bags were left.
Picking up one of them, Lu Lu opened the oilcloth and found that inside was a small bag with a tightenable mouth. Lu Lu untied the braided string on the bag and opened the mouth of the bag. When Chen Xiuyu shined the flashlight, there was a bright yellow color inside.
of light.
When the couple saw this thing, they couldn't help but look at each other and said in unison: "Gold!"
To be precise, this is a piece of nugget gold.
Nugget gold refers to naturally produced gold that is impure in texture and contains alluvial gold lumps with large particle size and irregular shape. It generally has no edges and corners, and the surface is relatively rounded with many small honeycomb-shaped pits.
Right now, there is a piece of gold nugget that looks like ginger in this small bag, and there are a lot of fine gold sands in the bag below.
You must know that nugget gold is very rare, and the output is very rare. Once nugget gold is discovered, it often causes a sensation. This thing is an important clue to finding gold mines. Through its discovery site, knowledgeable people can swim upstream along the river valley.
Go up and you'll find veins containing gold.
I don’t know where Jin Zhiquan got this thing from!
