Chapter 175 Antiques

Seeing something going on here, Xu Guyu came over and saw Zhang Hongxin holding a big yellow croaker and giggling. Two rows of teeth marks could be seen on the big yellow croaker. When he looked closely, he could see that there were some stains on it.

Transparent liquid.

"Pa... Ouch..." Seeing this, Xu Guyu slapped Zhang Hongxin on the back of his eyelid. Zhang Hongxin almost fell to the ground with an ouch.

Zhang Hongxin turned his head angrily and saw Xu Guyu staring at him with a livid face. The anger on his face immediately disappeared and he quickly revealed a smile.

"Laughing... Why are you laughing? What's so funny? Huh? We are here to catch Japanese spies. Let's see what you look like now?"

"Yes..." Listening to Xu Guyu's obviously angry words, Zhang Hongxin quickly lowered his head and responded repeatedly.

"Wow..." Seeing this situation, Xu Guyu snorted coldly, then turned to look at the others and said, "Stop standing around, why are you standing around? There are so many things here!"

Why don’t you hurry up and see what’s inside.”

"Yes..." The people who gathered around said yes, and then walked towards other boxes with a smile.

However, several of Xu Guyu's men stayed behind and asked them to move out the boxes that had been checked. Several people came over immediately, obviously wanting to move these belongings first.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Hongxin saw the large yellow croaker still in his hand and quickly put it back.

"Don't let it go, keep it for yourself!"

Hearing Xu Guyu's voice, Zhang Hongxin looked over with some confusion.

Seeing Zhang Hongxin's eyes and expression, Xu Guyu was furious and cursed: "Look what's on it? Do you want him to bleed other gold on it?"

"Do you feel disgusted? Just keep this thing for yourself and use it, it will be included in the share given to you."

Hearing Xu Guyu's words, Zhang Hongxin didn't take it seriously at all. He retracted his outstretched hand with a smile, wiped it on his clothes and put it in his pocket.

Seeing this situation, Xu Guyu shook his head helplessly and returned to where he was just now to open other boxes.

After placing the large yellow croaker, Zhang Hongxin called Lin Mo again and began to inspect and open the boxes behind these boxes.

However, what was inside was no longer silver coins and gold bars. Several boxes were opened in succession, and inside were some shabby books.

Although these things were very worn, which made Zhang Hongxin a little disappointed, Lin Mo took it seriously, carefully took out a book, and looked at it carefully.

Seeing Lin Mo carefully looking through these old books like treasures, Zhang Hongxin said: "Lin Mo, what's so interesting about these things? They're not worth much."

Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded. Zhang Hongxin's words were indeed good. Although these things are ancient books, they are not precious or famous ancient books. They are indeed not very valuable nowadays.

But that won’t be the case in the future, especially in the era when Lin Mo came over. The country was getting stronger and stronger, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was the so-called gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. In addition, at that time, these things were destroyed for some reason.

Eight, this thing is very valuable.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt that his family would have to pay more attention to collecting more in the future. Buying these things and saving them would be much more cost-effective than saving gold and silver.

Zhang Hongxin, who was on the side, saw that Lin Mo was still holding the book and reading. He squatted down quietly and asked in a low voice: "What? Are you interested in these things?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head and whispered: "I'm not very interested in these, it's my teacher who prefers to collect these things."

Having said this, Lin Mo leaned close to Zhang Hongxin's ear and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xin, do you know if anyone in your Military Intelligence Department likes this thing?"

Hearing this, Zhang Hongxin shook his head, leaned into Lin Mo's ear and whispered: "I'm not sure about this, but you can ask your brother, he was with Boss Dai before, and he was here

Military Intelligence has been around longer than I have, he should know."

Hearing what Zhang Hongxin said, Lin Mo nodded, thanked him again, and then continued to check.

After listening to Zhang Hongxin's advice, Lin Mo was indeed ready to inquire with Lin Wenhua.

If no one in the Military Intelligence Department likes collecting these things, Lin Mo plans to collect them.

After getting these things, on the one hand, you can choose some of these things to give to the teacher. After all, the teacher has been helping them here these days.

On the other hand, Lin Mo only took these things as an investment and had no intention of appreciating them. It would be no problem even if he left them for the teacher to pick out the rest, and it would save him the time of looking for them.

"Ahhh...ahhhh...what is this...ahhhh..."

Hearing the noise, Lin Mo quickly stood up and looked towards the sound, and saw Yang Haicheng and Li Changwu running away from the other corner with their noses covered.

Seeing that his classmate was in trouble, Lin Mo walked over quickly. As he walked, he smelled a musty smell and asked quickly: "Haicheng, what happened?"

Hearing this, Yang Hai let go of his covered nose and said, "Brother Lin, I don't know what was put in there. It was gray and lumpy. As soon as we opened it, there was a strong musty smell.

"

Hearing this, Lin Mo looked towards the corner, but at this time the box had been covered back and Lin Mo saw nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Mo covered his nose and went over, gently opened it and took a few glances. However, the musty smell was indeed a bit too strong, so he quickly covered it back.

Lin Mo saw that everyone else was covering their noses, so he quickly picked up the box and walked quickly towards the stairs.

When Lin Mo moved the box to the yard and came back, Li Changwu asked: "Lin Mo, do you know what that is?"

"Hmm...this thing should be a delicacy in Japan!"

"Food...these Japanese people have such strong tastes that they can eat all this kind of food." Yang Haicheng, who heard Lin Mo talk about the food, opened his mouth and started to complain.

Hearing this, Lin Mo explained: "This thing is a kind of dried fish. The Japanese call it dried fish. It is a fermented food."

"Its fermentation uses mold, and the mold must be removed before eating. This is very popular in Japan."

"As for why the mold was not removed from these items, it should be to allow the items to be preserved longer."

After Lin Mo finished explaining, the musty smell had almost dissipated. Lin Mo walked to the side where the dead knot had just been placed. After checking it, he opened a box that seemed to be frequently used.

There are two rectangular wooden boxes inside, as well as two dead knots that have been cleaned of mold. One of them has been half used, and the flesh color of the dead knots can already be seen at this time.

Seeing something happening here, Yang Haicheng, Zhang Hongxin and Xu Guyu all came over to see what was inside.

Lin Mo took out the half of the dead knot from the box, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

To be honest, Lin Mo has never seen this thing in person, and has only seen pictures and videos on the Internet in his previous life.

When Yang Haicheng on the side saw this, he also took out a complete dead knot from the box, and imitated Lin Mo and looked at it, but other than the fact that the mold on it was gone, he couldn't see anything else.

Without being able to tell, Yang Haicheng put the dry knot under his nose and smelled it gently. Suddenly, a faint umami smell penetrated his nasal cavity.

Smelling this smell, Yang Haicheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Brother Lin, how do you eat this?"

"Oh... You can eat it directly or make soup." Lin Mo replied while looking at the dried knot in his hand.

Hearing Lin Mo say that he could eat it directly, Yang Haicheng's eyes suddenly lit up. Amid the shocked eyes of others, Yang Haicheng bit the dead knot.

"Crack...ahhh...my teeth."

Hearing Yang Haicheng's movement, Lin Mo quickly turned his head and saw Yang Haicheng covering his face with one hand and grabbing the withered joint stained with saliva with the other, moving around in pain.

Seeing this situation, Lin Mo was speechless. This thing was said to be as hard as steel and could be used as a knife after being sharpened. Fortunately for him, he actually used his teeth to check the bar.

After a long while, Yang Haicheng calmed down and said to Lin Mo with a sad face: "Brother Lin, didn't you say this thing can be eaten directly? Why is it so hard? My teeth have become loose."

"Ha..." After hearing this, Lin Mo laughed out loud, and several others also looked at Yang Haicheng with a smile.

After laughing for a while, Lin Mo finally said: "Haicheng, this is not how you eat it. The dead knots must be processed with special tools before they can be eaten. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat them at all."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, he took out a rectangular wooden box from the box, placed it on top of another box, then held the dead knot with both hands and started planing it like wood.

After digging for more than twenty times, Lin Mo stopped, put the dead knot in his hand back into the box, picked up the wooden box again, pulled it out from one side, and immediately pulled out a small drawer, which was now full of things like

Something like wood shavings.

At this time, others discovered that this small wooden box had something special. Not only did it have a plane on one side, it was also designed to look like a drawer.

Lin Mo put the plane back into the box, then picked up a slice of dried meat that looked like wood shavings and threw it into his mouth. A rich umami flavor immediately filled his mouth.

Seeing this, Yang Haicheng reached out and grabbed a large handful, stuffed it into his mouth and bit it hard.

Seeing this, Lin Mo shook his head, handed the small drawer to Xu Guyu, and said, "Chief Xu, you should try it too, it's quite fresh."

Hearing this, Xu Guyu took a piece and put it in his mouth, tasted it lightly, and said, "It's indeed quite fresh, but I'm not used to it."

Lin Mo listened and nodded. It was okay just to taste it. If he really ate too much, Lin Mo wouldn't be able to eat it. After all, this was indeed inconsistent with the eating habits in China. Just like Yang Haicheng at this time, he ate a lot.

Big mouth, now he started to swallow dryly.
