Chapter Forty-Nine: Fifty Thousand?
The next day, after Hu Yang and the others had breakfast at He Wenqing's house, they planned to leave.
However, suddenly news came that someone in the town had inadvertently salvaged something in the Sand River. The Shahe River is a very small fork of the Pearl River, and the current is usually gentle.
"Maybe it's a shipwreck or something, isn't it? This isn't the first time our town has salvaged it. He Wenqing said.
Their town, a hundred years ago, was an important commercial town, and there were many merchant ships coming and going. So, it is very normal to find a shipwreck in the Sand River.
However, in the past few times, it seems that the cultural relics department and underwater archaeologists came quickly, but the harvest was very small, and the things salvaged were of little value.
"Isn't that a treasure?" Andy's eyes lit up.
In his mind, ancient shipwrecks represent wealth. They often see news reports about where ancient shipwrecks were found, how much porcelain was salvaged, and so on.
He Wenqing shook his head: "Thinking too much, our town, in ancient times, was mainly engaged in the tea business. Think about it, what is the use of those boats pulling tea leaves, soaked in the bottom of the river for so long?
In my opinion, I'm afraid that the people from the cultural relics department are too lazy to come this time. ”
After all, the first few times there was a lot of fanfare, and even once the media was invited to report, who knew that what was salvaged was some broken ship boards, not to mention a lot of face, and a lot of manpower, material and financial resources were wasted.
He Wenqing guessed correctly, this time the shipwreck was discovered, and the simple townspeople reported it as soon as possible.
However, the people in the cultural relics department had a very cold attitude this time, and casually said a few perfunctory words, indicating that they had no spare manpower for the time being. I've run empty several times, aren't you afraid?
"Brother Hu, should we go and have a look?" Andy asked.
Hu Yang looked at Tang You: "Sister Tang, what are your plans? If there is any other urgent matter, I will help you call a car back to the city!"
Tang You saw that Hu Yang did not resist her for another day, so he spoke without hesitation: "There is no plan!
"Okay, let's go and have a look!"
After speaking, Hu Yang also turned on the live broadcast: "Just now, we got the news that an ancient shipwreck has been found in Shahe Town. Now, let's rush over and see what we know, maybe we will gain something. ”
He Wenqing also followed, but he also brought some fishing nets and fishing tackle.
"I often go to that area to catch fish, and it's quite fat. Last time, I caught a catfish of more than 60 catties and sold it for 50 yuan. He Wenqing explained.
Andy and Tang You's eyes widened: "Such a big fish, you can sell it for fifty yuan?"
He Wenqing was quite helpless: "No way, too big catfish, in fact, not many people like it, and some people don't even dare to eat it." Last time, it was bought by a dog farm. ”
The fish is too big for people to eat, so they can only feed the dogs?
Many viewers in the live broadcast room can understand that those big fish, the ghost knows what they eat, or what genetic mutations they have.
"Didn't you say that Cantonese people eat everything?"
"Nima! We Cantonese people have not yet reached the point of starvation. ”
"I'm from the north, but I've been in Yangcheng for more than ten years. To be fair, Cantonese people are quite picky when they eat, and they pay attention to freshness in everything. ”
"There's always going to be some regional black, don't bother with it. Every place has its own customs, so why go dark?"
"I'm used to it, I'm often hacked. ”
......
Seeing that the topic was a little crooked, Hu Yang hurriedly twisted it back: "You may think that the ancient shipwreck is very distant and mysterious from yourself. In fact, according to incomplete statistics, there are more than 100,000 shipwrecks in ancient China. And the Pearl River, the estuary, probably has more than 1,000 ships.
Just now, Brother He also told us that nearly ten ships had been found in their town. ”
As soon as they got into the car, Grandma Chen trotted over with things, vegetables and fruits grown at home, and two big geldings, which she wanted to give to Populus euphratica.
"There's nothing at home that I can do with it. Grandma Chen said apologetically.
Hu Yang was not polite and accepted the gift from Grandma Chen: "Grandma, you are too polite. ”
Vegetables or something, Populus euphratica is going to bring to Edward Cheung's buddies, especially the two steers, he won't kill the chickens, just rub the rice when he has time.
A little thing can always move everyone.
It only took more than ten minutes for Hu Yang and them to come to the "scene of the accident".
By the river, there are many local people watching, and in the river, there are more than ten or twenty people who are busy, constantly diving down to touch things, and they are very interested.
"Hey, everyone's enthusiasm is high this time!" He Wenqing was a little surprised.
Last time, he also came to see the excitement. At that time, there were quite a lot of onlookers, but there were very few people in the water. Moreover, they all took the money from the cultural relics department before they went down to the water.
Today, it's a bit of an anomaly, not only did people from the cultural relics department not come, but there were also many people who went into the water to touch things.
At this moment, someone began to undress again and prepare to go down the river.
"I guess I've touched something good!" Hu Yang guessed.
A resident next to him smiled and said, "Liangzi guessed quite accurately! Just now, a child touched a plate and was bought for 5,000 yuan." ”
It is in this way that everyone's enthusiasm is raised.
He Wenqing and others suddenly realized, then it is no wonder.
"What kind of plate?" asked Hu Yang curiously.
The man pointed to a middle-aged man not far away: "In his hand, if you want to see it, you can take a look." ”
Hu Yang and the others followed the guidance and looked over, and found that it was the uncle who picked his nose yesterday, Hu Yang also bought a folding fan at his stall, and Andy and Tang You bought bronze coins.
"Uncle, it's a coincidence!" Andy said as they walked over and greeted him.
Li Jinnian turned his head and found that it was a few young people who helped him with his business yesterday, and immediately smiled: "What is the coincidence? My house is near here." You're here for a tour, aren't you?"
Hu Yang got straight to the point: "Well, almost! I heard that the uncle got a plate just now, can we take a look?"
Li Jinnian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that these young people were interested in antiques, otherwise they would not have helped his business yesterday. So, he took out the plate he had just gotten.
"Be careful, this is a treasure, let alone this number. With that, he held out a slap.
"Five thousand?" Andy knew that he had bought it for five thousand.
Li Jinnian snapped his nose and shook his head: "Fifty thousand!"
Tang You and the audience in the live broadcast room were speechless, you started with 5,000, this is not half an hour, right?
"I'll go! ”
"Antiques! People pay attention to not opening for three years, but opening for three years. ”
"I don't know what to say, antiques are really too profitable. ”
......
The audience in the live broadcast room was still discussing Uncle Picking's lion mouth, and then they were stunned by Hu Yang's words.
"Fifty thousand? ”
