Chapter 10 My surname is Cao
Brother Ba's time and space travel is very calm, there is no thunder, lightning and wind, and there are no abnormal celestial phenomena. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The only drawback is dizziness and nausea.
Only when his mind cleared up a little did Shen Yi observe the world that had crossed over.
Low houses, dirt paths, and ......
Several men in dark robes and long braids were pointing at Shen Yi.
With a long shirt and long braids, Shen Yi already knew when he had traveled to, which was probably similar to an era of the Qing Dynasty.
I wanted to say that after the crossing, you must keep a low profile, so as not to be caught by the Time and Space Administration. Now it seems that you can't keep a low profile, short hair is a death penalty in the Qing Dynasty!
Looking at the different eyes of several people not far away, Shen Yi dared to guarantee the ticket, these minions must have sent someone to inform the yamen.
If you don't leave now, when will you stay?
Shen Yi hid in the alley and ran towards a sparsely populated place.
"Brother Ba, which time and space is it?"
Brother Ba was silent for a while and said, "This is a quasi-space-time, probably the 18th century of the real world. ”
Brother Ba had popularized the relevant knowledge of time and space to Shen Yi before, and quasi-time and space are time and space that are extremely close to the real world, but have always developed in parallel. The last martial arts time and space, which is very different from the real world, can only be regarded as a near time and space, and the direction of time and space development is different.
The Qing Dynasty in the 18th century should be the era of Yongzheng and Qianlong, which can be regarded as a relatively peaceful period in the Qing Dynasty for more than 300 years. Shen Yi can remember Yongzheng and Qianlong, but in fact, there are more Qing piercing dramas and harem brawls that were all the rage before. Shen Yi doesn't watch these TV series, but he will more or less hear people mention them. The chaotic harem is fed in the harem, and it has nothing to do with Shen Yi.
After Shen Yi confirmed the safety of the general environment, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If this is a hundred years from now, it will not be a good life. Originally, the time-traveler could have been countered by time and space, and coupled with the war, he might have died in the chaos.
"Keep an eye ahead!" Brother Ba suddenly gave a warning.
Shen Yi hurriedly stopped, only to hear a "clang", and a green brick was torn apart on the ground.
If you don't stop in advance, you will be opened by this big green brick!
"I'll you!"
Shen Yi cursed, and when he looked up, he saw that the cat, which had been covered in pitch black, was standing on the wall, barking twice at Shen Yi as if demonstrating.
There was a blue brick missing on the wall in front of the black cat, which made it clear that this was not an accident, but that the cat had pulled the green brick down.
Shen Yi felt a chill in his heart, he was separated by time and space so quickly, otherwise how could this broken cat be here so coincidentally.
"Fuck off!" Shen Yi picked up a broken brick and threw it over.
The black cat's movements were light, and before the broken bricks reached it, it had already jumped down and disappeared into the alley.
Then, a very angry voice came from inside the courtyard.
"What immoral thing throws stones into the yard! Yes? ”
When Shen Yi heard it, this was a smashing of someone, so hurry up.
On the way to run, I saw two sets of kaftans hanging outside a courtyard, compared the length, and decisively put the wet kaftan on my body. Sportswear is too conspicuous in this dimly lit world, and the next step is to find a way to solve the problem of short hair.
Not long after Shen Yi left, a bunch of officials came to the alley, searched indiscriminately and left.
Shen Yi found an abandoned yard and cleared the steps to catch his breath.
In this era, there should be no place to sell long braids, and if you want not to attract the attention of others, you have to do it yourself.
The yard has been abandoned for a long time, and there is dust everywhere, and I want to find something useful, so I choke myself half to death first.
Shen Yi cut a piece of hemp rope to about the same length, spread it out, and re-kneaded and braided it into a shape similar to a long braid. He brought water from the well, sprinkled the ashes of the pot inside, and stirred it into a black viscous body in the bucket. The braids made of hemp rope soaked in the black water for a while, and when they were taken out, they already looked a little like each other.
didn't have time to wait for the braids to dry, Shen Yi fixed the braids on his head with duct tape and binding straps, and finally brought a melon skin hat that came with him.
Shen Yi looked at the small mirror, and he really couldn't notice the abnormality if he didn't look closely.
Hey! Not bad.
Shen Yi washed his hands, cleaned himself up a little, and walked out of the abandoned yard generously.
After turning two or three alleys, there are more people coming and going. The people on the street were in a hurry, and no one noticed Shen Yi, a time-traveler from another time and space.
Shen Yi's purpose was for no one to notice him, so that he could stay in this time and space for a longer time.
There is no need to clear the drama, Shen Yi knows that the porcelain of the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods is worth a lot of money, and if he can go back with the whole complete porcelain jar, it is estimated that he can shoot tens of millions!
Thinking of this, Shen Yi's eyes lit up a little.
I walked around the street a few times and tried to ask for directions a few times, but the aborigines didn't seem to be friendly and ignored. In the end, there was finally a woman in a skirt, and when she saw Shen Yi's clothes in tattered clothes but her face was delicate, she looked like a down-and-out son, so she pointed out the direction of the pawnshop to Shen Yi.
Through the high counter, the shopkeeper glanced at Shen Yi and asked lazily, "Childe, what do you need?" ”
If you are a pawnshop, your eyes will be sharp.
Shen Yi's dress was too deceptive, and the shopkeeper of the pawnshop thought that the down-and-out son of a certain family came over to be something. Under this imperial city, the scenery is infinite today, and tomorrow it may be raided and wiped out. The beggar on the corner of the front street, maybe the ancestor is still a feudal official.
The shopkeeper has been a pawnshop for decades, and he knows the truth of seeing more and saying less. Pawn things, don't ask where they come from, and sell things that don't ask where they go, just follow the rules.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this watch worth?"
Shen Yi handed over his watch.
I didn't know which time and space it was before I came, and Shen Yi couldn't prepare some gold and silver. Of course, in real time and space, gold costs hundreds of dollars a gram, and silver is not cheap, Shen Yi's pocket is empty, and he can't afford to prepare if he wants to.
Come to think of it, a mechanical watch that I have worn for two years should be worth some money. The watch is a miscellaneous brand, usually used to see the time, hundreds of dollars in the mall. In the real world, mechanical watches worth a few hundred yuan should still be very rare in the Qing Dynasty in the 18th century.
The shopkeeper took the watch, looked left and right with a pair of thin hands, and flicked it a few times on the strap, probably to confirm the material of the watch.
"A shabby Western watch!" The shopkeeper shouted at the top of his voice.
The guy on the side prepared pen and ink, and the shopkeeper was about to write on the pawn ticket, but was stopped by Shen Yi.
"Shopkeeper, you read it carefully, this watch is not broken!"
Shen Yi usually doesn't have any activities, he doesn't bump and bump, and the watch is still quite bright, so why does it become worn out in the hands of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper put down the brush and coughed: "Childe is inappropriate?" ”
"It's not improper, it's ......"
"If anything, it's a shabby Western watch."
The shopkeeper's words choked Shen Yi uncomfortably.
Shen Yi didn't know the market of ancient pawns, and when this pawnshop accepted the collateral, it would estimate that the situation of the collateral would be scandalized when it was recorded. In this way, once the collateral is found to be damaged at the time of redemption, the pawnshop can be cleared of some responsibilities.
I originally wanted to change my home and ask, but the shopkeeper said that it was the same everywhere I went, and this was the rule of the pawnshop.
"Eighty taels of silver for life, and one hundred taels of silver for death." Seeing that Shen Yi was not leaving, the shopkeeper gave a slightly proud offer.
A tael of silver in the Qing Dynasty was about 170 yuan in modern times, and 100 taels was 17,000 yuan, and this transaction did not seem to be a loss. Shen Yi thought about it in his heart.
signed the pawn ticket, and Shen Yi got a silver ticket of one hundred taels.
When he was about to leave, Shen Yi saw the porcelain placed on the counter at the pawnshop.
The pawnshop is both a pawn shop and a place for selling dead and expired items. Shen Yi thought that the things in the pawnshop had been appraised by professionals, and it was much better than going out to buy a bargain.
The value of an antique is reflected in its craftsmanship and its history.
If Shen Yi brought something back from Yongzheng Qianlong, the process would be fine, but the time it existed could not withstand the inspection of the instrument.
At least I had to take the Ming Dynasty back, with a history of two or three hundred years, before I passed the expert instrument.
One hundred taels of silver can not buy a real baby, and finally the shopkeeper recommended a small blue and white bowl during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, mainly from the official kiln, and the quality is guaranteed.
The silver ticket that had just arrived went back again, and he was given two small silver tickets of ten taels again, and Shen Yi felt that he had been slaughtered!
Shen Yi put the blue and white bowl in his backpack, but if he wants to protect it, he will return to the real world with at least hundreds of thousands of bases!
The shopkeeper calculated in his heart that a Western watch in good condition would have to be sold for at least a thousand taels of silver, and if a dignitary took a fancy to it, the price could be mentioned. The blue and white bowl in the Jiajing period was only 20 taels, and it was sold to Shen Yi for 80 taels, which was another profit.
The ancients did not do business as much as the modern people, but they were just as shrewd.
Shen Yi was still thinking about what price he could sell the blue and white bowl when he went back, and he didn't know that he had been exploited by the pawnshop shopkeeper.
Not far from the pawnshop, an old man came out of the small alley and bumped straight towards Shen Yi.
Although he received a reminder from Brother Ba, the other party's speed was too fast, and Shen Yi didn't have time to react at all, so he was bumped into by the old man.
Shen Yi fell to the ground and there was nothing wrong, but the blue and white bowl in the bag didn't fall.
Where is the sound of the small bowl breaking, it is simply the sound of Shen Yi's heartbreak!
Shen Yi quickly opened his backpack, and the small box that came with the pawnshop cracked, and the small bowl inside was broken into three or four pieces.
Oh my money!
Shen Yi stood up and wanted to find the old man to theorize, who wanted the old man to fall to the ground and hum, but he couldn't get up.
Let me go, travel through time and space and still be able to meet the aborigines?
The old man's face was full of pain, his beard was a little gray, and his clothes were shabby, with faint signs of sewing.
Shen Yi couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to help the old man up.
"Thank you...... Gongzi Xie, I was too reckless. I'm really worried about the children at home, this ...... That's why it's so rushed! ”
The old man got up and took a breath, but he didn't mean to rely on Shen Yi.
Think about the broken blue and white bowl in the bag, and then look at the vicissitudes of the old man's face, think about it. The old man didn't mean it, not to mention that there was a reason for it.
"My surname is Cao, my name is Zhan, and my family lives under the root of the mountain in the south, if there is any damage to the object, please send someone over."
This old man named Cao Zhan is still quite responsible, and it is estimated that he has also experienced great events before.
Shen Yi thought about it, and was even more reluctant to trouble the old man, so he waved his hand and treated the matter as if it was over.
The old man was really in a hurry to find the doctor, and he disappeared in two or three steps.
Shen Yi took two steps forward, and suddenly stopped, as if his whole person had been struck by lightning.
it! it! I'll just say how do you think the name Cao Zhan is really familiar!
Shen Yi chased forward a few steps, but could not find the figure of the old man.
