Chapter 13: Salt Shakers

Qin Long rushed home to get a hoe, and when he came back, the gold-devouring insect was pointing at a few insects and making a big move, feeling that in addition to the mole cricket, there were other insects that had been discovered, but these discoveries made the gold-devouring insect very dissatisfied.

Broken copper and iron porcelain jars, can you eat these? Hmm? You can't just be careful with your heart? Huh?

Broken copper and iron porcelain jars are also good things, who knows if these broken copper and iron porcelain jars found by these bugs are antiques, if they are antiques, they are worth much more than gold.

The golden antiques of the troubled times, now the motherland is thriving and has stood firmly in the forest of the world's powerhouses, the country and the people, the collection is in the ascendant, I didn't see Uncle Hao'er have opened the branch to this remote Nanao Island.

Qin Long smiled and comforted the gold devouring insects: "Worms, don't underestimate those rags, I can't figure out that those rags are valuable things." Gold is priceless and antiques are priceless, if it is really a valuable thing, let's dig it out and sell it and then buy gold for you to eat, a gadget is not good enough for you to eat for a lifetime. ”

The Gold Devouring Worm obviously didn't know the value of the antique, staring at Qin Long and asking suspiciously, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you? You go and ask these bugs what they find and where they are buried, and ask them all the details, and I'll go back and see if it's worth digging it up." ”

The gold eater pouted, you didn't lie to me, but you've been trying to toss me well.

The gold-devouring insect buzzed and flew into the swarm of insects to make a threat, and Qin Long rubbed his palm vigorously and picked up the hoe.

Dig out the jar, even if the other things in the jar are not valuable, how can the two silver ingots be exchanged for two dollars, this is a profitable business, and the treasure hunt of buddies will officially set sail from today.

This hillside is very close to Qin Long's home, Qin Long knows very well that this hillside is an ownerless barren mountain, there are too many rocks on the hillside, and the scenery is not good, no one is willing to spend effort to develop here.

Qin Long just wondered who would bury the jar containing the silver ingots here, but he couldn't care so much now, so he dug it out first.

Qin Long sweated like rain, his hoe flew up and down, and it didn't take long to dig a big pit on the hillside.

At this time, the gold-devouring insect also flew back, and quietly landed on Qin Long's shoulder, looking like he was watching from the wall, and he almost grabbed the melon seeds and moved them to a maza.

Qin Long was full of energy, and after digging for half an hour, he finally dug down to a depth of one meter.

The mole cricket reported that the jar was hidden more than a meter deep underground, and seeing that it was almost dug up, Qin Long also added caution, in case the jar itself was very valuable, if it was dug up with a hoe, it would not be able to whip his two big mouths.

Seeing Qin Long jumping down the pit and carefully pulling the floating soil and gravel with the tip of his hoe and his hand, the gold devouring insect pouted and said disdainfully: Two broken silver ingots, as for it.

Qin Long said angrily: "You know a fart, now is the national collection craze, do you know, it's an antique that is worth a lot." Stop talking nonsense, call the cricket over and ask it where the jar is. ”

After a few fingers, the black-headed mole cricket moved several claws in unison, and with a small effort, a small hole was dug out of the soil pit and drilled into it.

"This second goods, you have been crowned king, and you don't know how to use the power in your hands to call more junior brothers to come and help. Qin Long scolded with a smile.

The Gold Eater laughed, "It wants to behave in front of the two of us."

Qin Long touched his nose and smiled, I am also good enough, I can command the gold devouring insects, the gold devouring insects can command these insects, why do I have to dig the pit by myself? Calling more insects to come and dig the pit is, don't look at the little insects that can collapse and die just by farting, but I can't stand the huge number of people, if I come to dig a hole with 1,800 crickets, the speed may not be slower than my hoe.

Thinking about it, but this treasure hunt was Qin Long's first deal, and he still wanted to dig out the jar reported by the King of Crickets with his own hands.

More than ten generations of the old Qin family spent hundreds of years to support this gold-eating insect, but no one got the return of the gold-eating insect, and in the end, Qin Long's kid was cheaper, but fortunately, the fertilizer water did not flow into the fields of outsiders.

After waiting for half a cigarette, the mole cricket came out of the hole and whispered flattering insect words to the gold devouring insect and Qin Long.

Knowing that the jar was already close at hand, Qin Long's excited eyes lit up, and he recalibrated the position and worked hard with the tip of his hoe and both hands to plan, seeing that the posture was not as chic as the cricket planing the soil.

Finally, the edge of the jar was exposed in the dirt, and it didn't look much different from the salt jar used at home.

After confirming with the King of Crickets that it was this jar, Qin Long was even more careful, almost lying on his stomach at the bottom of the pit, and he didn't need the tip of the hoe, and directly used the Swiss Army knife and fingernails on the keychain to work, and the gold devouring insect on his shoulder shook his head vigorously.

What the, as far as that's concerned.

Qin Long finally carefully dug the jar out of the soil, and couldn't help but cough lightly.

It's really a salt jar, who is this, take a salt jar and put a baby.

It's also strange, China has been up and down for 5,000 years, and the last 100 years have been changing with each passing day, almost every moment there are new things born, that is, this salt jar seems to have not changed for hundreds of years, Qin Long remembered that when he used to watch the Water Margin, he took a Sun Erniang to use this kind of salt jar, and now in some remote places, people are still used to using this kind of salt jar made of stoneware, which is not bad at all.

Qin Long leaned out of the pit and lay on the ground with his eyes shining around the jar in his hand, the mouth of the jar was sealed by the lid, but there was a triangular gap in the lid, it was estimated that the cricket crawled into the jar through this opening.

The gap was too small, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see what was inside.

Shaking it slightly, you can clearly feel that there is a hard object rolling in the jar, which must be the silver ingots that the cricket king said.

Qin Long tried to lift the lid of the jar, but he didn't lift it, and rubbed the floating soil with his sleeve, only to find that the lid of the jar had been sealed with cement, you can imagine how careful the person who buried the jar was back then.

Cement?

Qin Long, who was excited, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and in disbelief, he used a Swiss Army knife to scratch off a few scraps along the edge of the seal, scraping off a bit of the sealing material.

Hold grass, it's really cement, how can it be cement?

Doesn't this mean that this jar has not been buried for many years?

It has only been more than 100 years since cement was introduced to China, that is to say, the jar in my hand now has a history of more than 100 years, so the contents are not worth anything except those two silver ingots?

There was a little more loss in the excitement, how much are the two silver ingots worth, Qin Long is still counting on this jar to make a turnaround, and now it seems to be hanging.

No matter how many there are, something is better than nothing.

Qin Long climbed up from the pit with the jar in his arms, wrapped the jar with his clothes, and commanded the gold devouring worm, "Tell your junior brothers to fill in the pit." ”

After that, he picked up the hoe and strode down the hill without looking back, with a posture of killing and burying.

The Gold Devouring Worm didn't care about conveying Qin Long's order to the King of the Crickets, and caught up with Qin Long with a buzz, and climbed directly into Qin Long's ears and eyes.

It's still comfortable here, sheltered from the wind and rain, the four seasons are like spring, and there are some small soft and small warmth, and I will live here in the future.
