Chapter twenty-six large yellow croaker small yellow croaker
Suddenly there was a "dinging" sound of metal hitting, and then a golden light flashed under the light.
Du Fei took a breath of cold air, his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably, and a large amount of saliva was produced in his mouth, which accumulated all over his mouth. He made a gurgling sound and swallowed it as if drinking water.
It was a large yellow croaker that was as thick as three thumbs, and a dozen small yellow croakers that were slightly thinner than a little finger!
Before Du Fei traveled through time, he had only seen such exquisite and bright gold bars in the display cabinets of banks and gold shops.
And now, all these gold bars belong to him!
Du Fei tried his best to calm down.
Picking up a big one and looking at it carefully, there are also the words "Shanghai Central Mint, 35th Year of the Republic of China" on it.
In addition, there were two rolls of cashmere wrapped in newspapers that were poured out. They fell to the ground and fell apart with a loud crash.
There is also a thick stack of banknotes, all of which are first edition RMB in large denominations.
Even based on the exchange ratio of the second set of RMB issued in 1955 to the first set of 10,000:1, this amount of money is still one or two thousand yuan.
According to the current price of gold and silver, it is about three yuan a piece in the ocean. A bank of one or two weight small yellow croakers will charge two hundred yuan a piece. If you have the opportunity to trade privately, the price will be even higher.
The three large yellow croakers and eight small yellow croakers on the ground, plus one hundred and twenty yuan, are worth at least eight thousand yuan!
What was the concept of eight thousand yuan in 1965?
At this time, a worker's salary of thirty yuan a month could support a family of five or six people.
Five or six hundred yuan is enough to collect the famous "three turns and one ring".
Eight thousand yuan is enough to buy two sets of courtyard houses with three entrances and three exits in the imperial city.
And a yard like this would have been worth at least over 100 million before Du Fei traveled through it.
Unfortunately, the current housing policy has extremely strict restrictions on the private sale of real estate. Even if you have money, you cannot easily buy it.
But it is enough to illustrate the magnitude of this windfall.
After being stunned for a while, Du Fei looked at the gold and silver all over the floor and quickly put it in his pocket.
I started thinking about what to do with this money.
Du Fei is actually not short of money.
His family's original savings, plus pension, and not counting other coupons, amounted to more than 900 yuan in cash.
However, Du Fei had not dared to use this money before.
He works as a temporary worker at the subdistrict office, and his monthly salary of 16.5 yuan is only enough for daily living expenses. It is almost impossible to save extra money.
And no matter what he wants to do next, these nine hundred yuan will be his only capital.
But now, with these gold bars and silver dollars at the bottom of the box, there is no need to be so careful about financial constraints.
Even though food, drink and clothing were very cheap at this time, Du Fei had a lot of money to spend on.
The most urgent of these is to improve current living conditions.
The first is the living conditions.
According to the current housing policy, it is not possible to change houses easily, but the two existing rooms can be renovated.
Du Fei didn't intend to make it too luxurious. After all, the trend will change next year. Now, making it magnificent is just a suicide attempt.
But basic bathroom and kitchen, as well as house heating, can all be done to make your stay more comfortable.
Especially the bathroom.
Before Du Fei traveled through time, he had not used an open-air toilet for more than 20 years.
My butt is freezing in the winter, and flies and mosquitoes are flying around in the summer, not to mention the smell.
There is also room for warmth. Even if Qin Huairu made cotton curtains, his two rooms would still be ventilated from all sides.
The one layer of window paper didn't even have any cold protection function, and it was not light-transmitting. The room was dark and cold. Du Fei had long wanted to replace it with two layers of glass windows, both inside and outside.
To get all of this down, it would cost at least four to five hundred yuan. With just the little possessions we had, we definitely wouldn't dare to start construction rashly, so we could only make do with it for the time being.
Du Fei felt happy when he thought that it would not be long before he would no longer have to go out to crowded public toilets.
I thought to myself, after get off work tomorrow, I would go to the market to buy a big fish and treat Xiaowu well.
Tonight, if it hadn't been for Xiao Wu, he wouldn't have been able to discover the double wall, let alone get these benefits.
While Du Fei was thinking about good things, he continued to check the things poured out of the briefcase.
Du Fei was dazzled by the yellow and white thing just now, so he didn't care to look at anything else.
Only then did I see that there was a seal left on the newspaper and a notepad covered in red plastic.
Du Fei picked up the seal and looked at it. On it was a seal with the name of "Wang Wenming". The material was very ordinary. When he put it in his pocket, there was no reaction.
Opening the notepad, there is a ten by ten grid paper inside. Each grid is printed with a Chinese character and corresponds to a four-digit number one by one.
Luffy was shocked and immediately realized that this was a code book!
If he was just suspicious when he found the pistol before, then now he can confirm that the owner of the abandoned yard is most likely an enemy agent.
Du Fei held the code book in his hand and frowned.
His brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about the context, pros and cons of the whole thing.
Even though Du Fei is a time traveler, he has never encountered such a situation.
Pistols, enemy agents, and code books! It was just like the TV series, but it actually appeared in front of him.
At the first moment, Du Fei's instinctive reaction was to make a fortune in silence, pretending that he had never seen the code book and seal, destroying traces, keeping his mouth shut, and not meddling in other people's business.
The courtyard has been abandoned for more than ten years, and no one has come to take away the briefcase hidden in the wall, which means that the other party has completely given up on this place and can take advantage of it with peace of mind.
However, there was always a feeling in Du Fei's heart.
The most valuable thing in this briefcase is not the gold bars and silver dollars, but this small seal and code book.
But this is a double-edged sword!
Du Fei thought to himself that with his experience, he might not be able to control it.
At this time, he naturally thought of Chen Zhongyuan, his cheap third uncle.
"Since I can't control it, I'll find someone who can." Du Fei made up his mind, but this time he didn't plan to go to Chen Zhongyuan's house, but went directly to the Municipal Bureau of Public Security Department.
First of all, this matter may involve enemy agents and should be considered a public matter.
Secondly, Du Fei also wanted to find an opportunity to show off his presence in front of Chen Zhongyuan's colleagues and subordinates, and let everyone know that Director Chen had such a nephew.
However, this matter is not urgent at the moment. The yard has been abandoned for a long time, and the briefcase has been stored in the wall for more than ten years, which lasted for three to five days.
Du Fei still had to make careful calculations and figure out how to justify the matter.
Put the code pad and seal back into the briefcase, and put the newspapers into the space together.
After everything was packed up, Du Fei washed his hands and face again, put on clean pajamas and got back into the warm bed.
The radio on the cabinet is still ringing.
Du Fei had no intention of listening. At this moment, all he could think of was the abandoned courtyard, the seal and the code book.
Unknowingly, I felt a little sleepy, so I just turned on the lamp and fell asleep.
