Chapter 142: Digging Up Treasures?
Tian Haiqing smiled: "This...... Hehe. ”
Seeing Tian Haiqing's speech, an idea flashed in Shu Ze's mind, and said, "You don't think there is any treasure underground, do you?" I said Lao Tian, can you not be whimsical?"
Tian Haiqing said: "Shu Shao, I have evidence here, how can it be whimsical?"
Shu Ze felt a little funny: "What evidence is there? You have all renovated here, if there is really something underground, why didn't you find it when you dug the foundation at that time?"
Tian Haiqing said: "It's very simple, things are buried deep, and the foundation is only two or three meters, and it is not deep. ”
Shu Ze said, "Even if there is something, how did you find it?"
"Metal detector. Tian Haiqing pointed to the one placed next to him, like a machine that detects landmines in a TV series.
Shu Ze stepped forward to take a look at the metal detector with some surprise, and found that it was only an entry-level machine for a thousand dollars, and it couldn't attract his attention.
Shu Ze turned his head and asked, "When did you buy a metal detector?" Besides, why did you buy this thing, don't you want to be a soil master too?"
Tian Haiqing hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm fine, what are you doing in that business?" This is what my friend Xiao Zhou bought. ”
Xiao Zhou was the young man in his thirties next to him, and he smiled a little honestly: "I am a fan of a novel on the Internet, and I asked a friend to buy a metal detector some time ago, and I brought it to Tian Lao today, but I didn't expect to make a discovery after trying it." ”
Tian Haiqing took over with a smile and said: "I didn't really believe that there was a treasure underground, but then I thought about it carefully, the family that lived here before had a big businessman before, maybe there was a treasure buried underground." ”
There is a saying that people should not be disguised, and they may seem to be honest people. He's a badass. Therefore, Meng Zitao didn't take Xiao Zhou's rhetoric seriously, after all, if there was no idea of robbing the tomb, why did Xiao Zhou buy this?
As for treasure hunting, for ordinary people. It's all wishful thinking.
Shu Ze had the same idea as Meng Zitao, he didn't want to care about this kind of thing, and said with a smile: "You are not afraid that digging it out is just an iron lump." ”
Tian Haiqing said: "That's also bad luck, I can't blame people, and if I don't dig now, I won't feel comfortable." ”
Shu Ze smiled: "Then you guys are busy, and when you say this, I'm also curious about what is underground." ”
Tian Haiqing hurriedly said: "It's embarrassing to let Shu Shao wait, or there will be a result." I'll get back to you?"
Shu Ze said: "It's okay, anyway, I have time today, so I'll just wait here." Or are you afraid that I will rob you of the treasure dug up from the ground? ”
The distance that the metal detector can detect is not long, although the brand of the young man's instrument is quite famous, but this entry-level machine, in the process of use, can not reach the parameters at all. The actual depth can be about five meters, which is about the same. Therefore, Shu Ze felt that it was okay to wait a while.
"That's what you said. How could I possibly think that? Besides, given your character, how could you do such a thing!"
Tian Haiqing smiled, in fact, he was really a little worried in his heart. However, since this has been discovered by Shu Ze. He couldn't drive Shu Ze away, so he could only try to say it nicely, hoping that Shu Ze could take care of his reputation.
Next, Tian Haiqing asked Shu Ze and them to go to the hall to drink tea first, but Shu Ze didn't want to stare at it. Lest Tian Haiqing misunderstand, he agreed.
The middle-aged woman was Tian Haiqing's wife, and she served tea to Shu Ze and they went out.
Tian Haiqing asked, "Shu Shao, is there anything you have to do here today?"
"Don't you know what I'm here for?" Shu Ze asked rhetorically.
Tian Haiqing smiled bitterly: "I can only talk about it as usual, if it was something else, I would agree no matter what, but that birthday statue was left to me by my father, and it is very meaningful to me, forgive me for being really difficult to agree!"
Shu Ze smiled: "Hehe, how did I hear Lao Lin say, in 06 you still wanted to transfer the birthday star statue to him, but because the price he offered was not your liking, so there was no deal." ”
Tian Haiqing smiled and said, "Isn't that because there were some difficulties at home at that time?"
Shu Ze pointed out the flaw in his words: "Don't tell me, you only had one collection at the time. Actually, you don't have to worry, I won't lose you. Army, you take things out......"
The army opened the box in his hand, took out two seals from it and put them on the table. Two seals, one is Wu Changshuo carved hibiscus stone seal, the other side is the Qing Dynasty famous calligrapher, painter, seal carver Zhao Zhiqian carved the seal.
Shu Ze said: "If you agree, I don't want you to put a price, these two seals are yours, how about it?"
"Wait a minute......" Tian Haiqing went to wash his hands, then put on his gloves, carefully observed and looked at the seals of both parties, and the obsessive look was obviously very fond of both seals.
After a long time, Tian Haiqing reluctantly put the seal back on the table.
Shu Ze said: "You go to the courtyard first, think about it, don't be in a hurry to answer." ”
Tian Haiqing really couldn't decide for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll think about it again......"
After speaking, Tian Haiqing said goodbye and went to the yard to watch the progress, and at the same time, he was also struggling with whether to agree.
After Tian Haiqing went out, Meng Zitao spoke: "Aze, do you think the things outside are reliable?"
"What about you?"
"I don't think it's reliable. ”
Shu Ze asked, "How can you feel this way?"
Meng Zitao said: "I feel that Xiao Zhou seems to be a little nervous, this matter has nothing to do with him, I don't know what he is nervous about?"
At this time, the army next to him said: "I feel that he is not only nervous, but also a little flustered. ”
Shu Ze thought for a moment and said, "If he did this, then how did he put things underground?"
Meng Zitao said: "There must be a way. ”
Shu Ze smiled: "What method did he use, let's not discuss it first, let's just say that this is Lao Tian's home, even if he digs up any treasures, Lao Tian will give him a hard money at most, is it that it took so much effort, it is not necessarily for this money, right?"
Meng Zitao said: "Of course he can't just do it for this money, with today's matter, he can ask Tian Haiqing to go out to explore treasures together in the future, so that his goal can be achieved!"
Shu Ze said: "You have a way of thinking, but even if it is like this, it is something that Lao Tian has to face, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
For the sake of the birthday statue, he had run away several times, and he had never encountered this kind of encounter before. That is, he didn't want to use abnormal means, but he would be a little angry in his heart, if Tian Haiqing was unlucky, he didn't gloat and laugh, it was already polite.
When it was almost noon, a cheer suddenly sounded in the courtyard: "Yes!
Hearing this cheer, Meng Zitao and the others hurriedly ran out, only to see Tian Haiqing standing in a pit of four or five meters, holding a corrosive and somewhat powerful thing, dancing there, as if he was holding an amazing treasure in his hand.
Next to him, Tian Haiqing's wife and Xiao Zhou's performance is also similar to Tian Haiqing.
Shu Ze ran over and said, "Lao Tian, let's see what it is." ”
Tian Haiqing's emotions were still very excited, and his voice was much louder: "It's Ruyi, Tie Ruyi." ”
Looking at the iron Ruyi in Tian Haiqing's hand, Shu Ze was a little speechless and said: "Rusted like this, it's really iron Ruyi." ”
Shu Ze's words calmed Tian Haiqing, he looked at Tie Ruyi in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, how much is it worth to rust like this!"
Xiao Zhou said: "Iron Ruyi is relatively rare, if the craftsmanship is outstanding, it is still more precious, and I still don't know what period of iron Ruyi is." ”
Tian Haiqing nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, let's determine the age first." ”
However, due to the severe rust on the surface of this Ruyi, the quality is very poor, and only a small amount of ornamentation can be seen, which is really difficult to determine.
This made Tian Haiqing embarrassed, raised his head, and asked Shu Ze for help: "Shu Shao, you are well-informed, is there a way to remove the rust safely." ”
Shu Ze said: "You come up first, show me Ruyi." ”
"Okay. Tian Haiqing climbed up from the pit and handed Tie Ruyi into the hands of Shu Ze, who had just put on his gloves.
As soon as he started the thing, Shu Ze felt that something was wrong, not that there was anything wrong with this thing, but he saw that the soil on Tie Ruyi was not sticky, which was not quite like the performance of being buried in the ground all year round.
Although he made this discovery, Shu Ze remained silent, and then carefully inspected Tie Ruyi, and then handed the thing to Meng Zitao next to him.
Shu Ze said: "Your iron Ruyi itself is intact, so it is relatively easy to remove the rust. ”
Tian Haiqing's eyes lit up: "Shu Shao, please tell me." ”
For the birthday statue, Shu Ze said directly: "The steps to remove rust are more complicated, I suggest that you treat it to a professional, as for rust, in fact, it can be solved by soaking with phosphoric acid." ”
"Phosphoric acid is an acid, can you use this kind of thing?" Tian Haiqing was a little unconvinced.
Shu Ze said: "So you are not a professional, this method is the most convenient, fast, effective and economical method of rust removal that is now applied." Because phosphoric acid only has little effect on high-valent rust, the degree of reduction of high-valent iron oxides is small, and the ancient rust layer will not be damaged, and it will not lose its quaint color after treatment. ”
"In addition, phosphoric acid can also interact with iron to form a substance that protects iron. But as I said earlier, it's better to leave this kind of iron to a professional. (To be continued.) )
