Chapter 116 Ancient Maps
Although it is summer, the temperature here is still relatively low because Mengchuan County is located in the north, and most people still wear long sleeves and coats, and some even wear large cotton jackets.
In fact, after large-scale development, the northern region is no longer the poor and miserable appearance that people remember, but some villages in the southern region have not been able to enjoy economic development as here.
Zhang Jiayong They stayed in a private hotel, which was actually a local person's house, renovated it a little, and then rented it out, the cost of 3,000 yuan a day was relatively expensive, but for Zuo Xiong, it was completely trivial.
Before moving in, he also ordered someone to slightly renovate the house, adding some alarm equipment and defense equipment, so that Zhang Jiayong once again learned the scientific and technological power mastered by Zuo Xiong.
After taking a full bath, several people met in the hall, Zhang Xian through the study of modern maps, has speculated that the approximate location of Devil's Mountain is near Mengchuan County, and the specific location still needs to be investigated.
Zhang Xian pointed to the map and told everyone that it was not ruled out that Devil's Mountain was outside the national border, because the geological changes and the changes in the national border at that time were likely to cause Devil's Mountain to be allocated to other locations.
After a brief discussion, they prepared the things they needed tomorrow in advance, and then went back to rest.
Before going to bed, Zhang Jiayong unexpectedly received a call from Wu Lingshan, Zhang Jiayong estimated that Wu Lingshan was afraid that he knew about him going to deter the Luo family.
Sure enough, after connecting the phone, Wu Lingshan came from the other end, congratulating Zhang Jiayong for successfully deterring the Luo family, and also reminded Zhang Jiayong that the Luo family is not as easy to deal with as it seems on the surface.
Zhang Jiayong expressed his gratitude, saying that he knew, and at the same time told Wu Lingshan that this period of buffer period was enough, and when he went back, even if the Luo family wanted to make a move, there was no way.
Wu Lingshan and Zhang Jiayong chatted for a while, and then hung up the phone.
Zhang Jiayong's sleep should be regarded as the most comfortable sleep in the past few days, and he slept until dawn, and was woken up by Zuo Xiong's knock on the door at eight o'clock.
"I have rations here, but if you don't feel comfortable eating them, you can go to the market and buy some food. When everyone was ready to go, Zuo Xiong said.
It can be clearly felt that after arriving in Mengchuan County, Zuo Xiong is no longer as anxious as before, otherwise according to his previous anxious appearance, it is estimated that Zhang Jiayong will be able to pull Zhang Jiayong up at five o'clock.
Zhang Jiayong looked at Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian should be no problem, he used to be a soldier, he was not picky about food, as long as he could eat enough, sometimes he was trapped on the battlefield, and he might not be able to eat for several days.
looked at Lu Dandan again, although Lu Dandan seems to be weak, she is also a girl, and she should not be too picky about food, so she will be exempted from going to the market to purchase.
Zhang Jiayong thought so, but Zuo Xiong gave him an accident, Zuo Xiong said that since he joined the company, almost all of the three meals a day are compressed food, and he is about to vomit, and he wants to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables and canned meat.
Zhang Jiayong was speechless, but since Zuo Xiong was not in a hurry, then he was even less anxious, so he went to the market to have a look, and he could also visit the customs here.
In fact, the progress of the city here is similar to that of the twenties and thirties of the 21st century, with commercial streets, comprehensive shopping areas, and comprehensive living areas, basically all available, and then look out at some homestays and vegetation scenery.
Zuo Xiong went directly to the supermarket with two followers, Zhang Jiayong had nothing to purchase, Zhang Xian didn't buy anything, Lu Dandan quietly said something to Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian nodded slightly, Lu Dandan also went to the supermarket.
"Women have that once a month. Zhang Xian saw Zhang Jiayong looking at him, so he explained.
"Uh......" Zhang Jiayong didn't know how to answer.
"Let's go shopping, they probably have been shopping for a while. Zhang Jiayong changed the subject.
Zhang Xian nodded, and then the two walked around the mall, most of them were clothing stores, and there were also some mother and baby stores, jewelry stores, makeup stores, and restaurants concentrated on the third floor, and most of the supermarkets seemed to have such a layout.
Zhang Jiayong suddenly saw an antique shop, which is a bit unusual, an antique shop, will be opened in a supermarket, and the decoration of this antique shop is very trendy, what lanterns, balloons, cartoon films, and some words of chicken soup for the soul are pasted on the transparent glass door, which is not at all the kind of dark and mysterious appearance that people imagine.
Zhang Jiayong and Zhang Xian glanced at each other, decided to go in and have a look, when they walked to the door, Zhang Jiayong couldn't help but think of Yang Zhongguo and his wife, I don't know if they will live well in the future, presumably the old couple is reunited, they should be very happy.
"Xian, there is an ancient sword from the Song Dynasty here, can you see if it is real?" Zhang Jiayong said, pointing to a sword in the display case.
"It's from the Song Dynasty, but it should be privately made, not equipped by the army, and the standard weapons of the early infantry army of the Song Dynasty written here are wrong. Zhang Xian corrected.
Zhang Jiayong smiled secretly, with such a big living person in the Song Dynasty here, maybe he can find some strange things in this antique shop?
Although because of the gratitude gift of Wu Qingshan, Zhang Jiayong has become a nouveau riche with a net worth of one billion, but no one will dislike the money, right? And Zhang Jiayong always feels that this billion is not practical, so he himself is basically useless, and he is given to Zhang Xian and let him spend it on training his subordinates.
"Hey, this armor is so mighty!" Zhang Jiayong looked at a pair of silver armor that glittered in the light, and was immediately attracted by its beauty.
"Xian, this must be worn by a certain general, right?" Zhang Jiayong asked, because the introduction of this armor said that it belonged to a certain general in the Song Dynasty, but the specific identity was unknown.
"! This is armor? If someone wants to go to the battlefield to find death, then just wear this armor! This is a complete fake!" Zhang Xian glanced at it and said disdainfully, after coming to the modern era for a long time, Zhang Xian has also begun to be contaminated with some vulgar language, which is quite a bit of a local custom.
Zhang Jiayong was stunned, it seems that this armor is only to attract those stunned young people who only look at the appearance to buy, people who really know the goods, so they will not take a fancy to this armor, Zhang Jiayong just now, it seems that he was stunned......
"These antiques, some of them are genuine, some of them are imitations, if you like something, just buy it. At this time, a slightly fat middle-aged boss walked out, looking at the obscene appearance, it looked like a person who often rips off customers.
There is no price on these things, if someone sees something they like, go and ask the boss, it is estimated that the boss will definitely ask for a price. After all, sometimes people are a little irrational when they are hungry for something, which also gives those profiteers a lucrative opportunity.
Therefore, it is recommended that when you buy something, you must not go alone, it is best to find a friend who does not agree with you to accompany you, let him pick more faults with such things, if this thing is said to be useless by your friends who do not agree with the three views, like garbage, you still want to buy, it shows that you really like this thing, then you pay to buy it.
"Xian, come and see, there is an ancient map here! There is a black piece of paper or iron next to it, is this a real ancient map?" Zhang Jiayong saw an ancient map and called Zhang Xian over.
Zhang Xian narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed an ancient map, and it is dedicated to the army, this area, if I remember correctly, should be a map with Mengchuan County as the center and radiating twenty kilometers around." ”
"Then let's buy it? This should help us on this trip!" Zhang Jiayong was a little excited, it seemed that he had really found something useful.
"Buy it. Zhang Xian nodded lightly, his expression seemed to be a little dignified, and he also revealed a touch of gloom and sadness.
Zhang Jiayong looked at the map with some excitement, but he didn't notice the change in Zhang Xian's expression.
"Boss, how much is this map?" Zhang Jiayong greeted the boss and asked out loud.
"Map plus black paper, 10 million. The boss glanced at the ancient map and black paper in the display case, and burst out a staggering price.
Zhang Jiayong almost scolded his mother, a broken map, although it is an antique, it is not worth 10 million, right?
In fact, this is also Zhang Jiayong does not understand the market price, some ancient maps, have really been auctioned out of millions or even tens of millions of sky-high prices, but also look at the value of the map, some maps are hundreds of years ago sea charts, this is not only collectible, but also scientific research value, it can indeed be worth tens of millions.
But there are also some maps, just local maps, even as small as a village, it is not worth much, it is good to have a few hundred thousand.
The map in front of me should be considered at the county level, maybe two or three million at most.
"Boss, isn't it a little inauthentic? This map, 10 million?" Zhang Jiayong said with a dark face.
"I said, the map plus black paper 10 million, this 10 million, is included in the price of black paper. The boss said lightly, the business of his antique shop has always been good, so he doesn't worry about no one buying, Zhang Jiayong doesn't buy it, some people buy it, so the phenomenon of the store bullying customers has gradually formed, and the boss is also in line with the psychology of slaughtering to make money.
"All I need is this map. Zhang Jiayong said, that black piece of paper, the ghost knows what it is, there is a hairy use.
"Not only selling, but the map and black pieces of paper, 10 million. The boss shook his head and repeated the offer.
Zhang Jiayong clenched his fists, a little impulsive to beat this dead fat man, but he still discussed it with Zhang Xian, and the two felt that this map might be of great use at a critical moment, so they still had to take it, and it seemed that they could only spend 10 million.
But Zhang Jiayong thought of Zuo Xiong, this wronged leader, why not let Zuo Xiong be the one?
