65. The world of the trenches
Ye Chi watched Cen Jiu and Fang Jing come out of the bathroom at the same time, with moisture still in their hair, and he didn't feel that anything was wrong.
When he was in college, he often went to the bathhouse with his classmates to take a bath.
"Brother, Brother Xiao Ze asked you, where does he live?"
Fang Jing followed his gaze and looked over, Xiao Ze, who disappeared as soon as he got off the boat, was standing next to Ye Chi with his hands in his trouser pockets at the moment, with a small travel bag at his feet, looking like he had just returned from a trip.
Xiao Ze indifferently glanced at the equally wet hair of the two, and his face was not shocked.
"I remember you said that you would cover room and board."
When Zhang Yue introduced people over, he did mention this fork, and Fang Jing did agree.
He immediately nodded and said: "Because there are few people now, and there is no dormitory arranged, Xiaole is abroad now, and he won't come back until the end of the year, or you should live in his house first." Fang Jing pushed open Fang Xiaole's room, saw the small bed that was less than one meter five, and then looked at Xiao Ze's tall figure, with a miserable expression, he felt that he was indeed a little wronged, and turned his head and asked Ye Chi, "Is there still a room over there at the farmhouse?" β
Ye Chi said: "Yes." β
Now it's almost the end of the year, the weather is cold, there are not so many people who come to play, and the room is not satisfied.
Fang Jing said to Xiao Ze: "The bed is too small, if you are uncomfortable, you can go to the farmhouse and let Chi Chi arrange a room for you." β
"You can do it here." Xiao Ze carried the bag into the room and threw it under the bed.
Fang Jing: "?!! β
The house has been empty since Fang Xiaole went to the United States, and he is usually too lazy to clean it, but this time he has been out to sea for more than a month, and the bottom of the bed is full of dust, and the bag is stuffed under the bed, I can't imagine what it looks like.
Fang Jing couldn't help but reminded aloud: "I haven't lived in the house for a long time, there is a lot of gray, and almost all of Xiaole's things are taken to the United States, the cabinet is empty, you can use it." β
Xiao Ze pulled the bag out, and it was covered in ash.
Xiao Ze: "......"
Fang Jing couldn't help but laugh and said, "You hang up your clothes, take them to the farmhouse for me and let Aunt Gen wash them for you." β
Speaking of this, Fang Jing thought of something, turned around and said: "By the way, I don't plan to go to sea again this year, it's okay anyway, the company will start spring break from now on, and will only start working in March next year, and the salary will be paid as usual, you can arrange holidays freely, you don't have to stay in the fishing village, take this opportunity to go back to your hometown for the New Year, visit relatives and friends, and stay at home for a few more days, it doesn't matter, as long as you keep your phone unblocked, in case something can find you." β
Xiao Ze paused for hanging his clothes and said, "I know." β
Fang Jing nodded, and went out with Cen Jiu.
When it came to the Chinese New Year, Ye Chi, who was originally very happy, went down and said listlessly: "Brother, can I celebrate the New Year at your house this year?" β
The divorce of his parents still ended in that unbearable way, Fang Jing knew that Ye Chi felt uncomfortable. He raised his hand and rubbed Ye Chi's soft hair, and said, "Of course you can." Xiaole is also about to go on vacation, and I will come back with my parents and them a year ago, and then I can also take my sister-in-law over, and our family will have a lively year. β
Ye Chi nodded heavily, and suddenly became happy again: "Hmm." And he said, "I hate him." β
If it weren't for his father, he wouldn't be like he is now, without even a home to go back to. Although the home was not very warm before, every time I went home, I always heard my grandparents scold his mother, saying that she was not at home all year round, and she didn't care about the family, she didn't respect the elderly, and I didn't know how people who were so old had so many things to complain about; His father and his mother always quarreled over trivial things like this, but it was always his home, as long as there was that home, no matter where he went, no matter how much he was wronged outside, he had a safe haven to rest for a short time, instead of being a child that no one wanted like now.
Fang Jing didn't want to say too much about Ye Huarong and his aunt, no matter how bad Ye Huarong was, he was also Ye Chi's father.
Even if Fang Jing despised Ye Huarong's personality, he would not say that he was bad in front of Ye Chi. He patted Ye Chi on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about adult things, you are now an adult, and you are about to graduate and work, and the most important thing is to think about how to live your life in the future." β
Ye Chi thought of the salary he had received in the past two months, and he suddenly became happy again.
His brother is right, his life has just begun, and now he works hard to make money, and the most important thing is to raise his mother in the future.
On Saturday, Professor Lu took a group of people to the fishing village. This was the second time he had been to the fishing village, and he was familiar with the way, and he arrived at noon.
At that time, Fang Jingzheng and Cen Jiu were full of lust in the room, Cen Jiu, who had always been very gentle, suddenly began to speed up his movements, Fang Jing was speechless, until the happiness of extinction overwhelmed the two, Cen Jiu kissed Fang Jing, got up suddenly, put on his clothes and went to open the door.
At the same time, there was the sound of a car turning off in the yard, Fang Jing suddenly thought of something, got up from the bed with all his hands, put on his clothes and ran out.
There were several cars parked in the courtyard, in addition, there was also a large truck parked outside the courtyard, carrying all kinds of equipment, Professor Lu and several old scholars in the department were there, and there were also a few young people who Fang Jing didn't know, Fang Jing estimated that they were about a few professors' students.
"You're just getting up, huh?" In winter, the fog was very thick and the moisture was heavy, Professor Lu took off his glasses and wiped them, seeing that Fang Jing and Cen Jiu were both dressed in pajamas and pajamas, their hair was messy, and they obviously looked like they had just gotten up.
"Hey, hey, hey." Fang Jing laughed dryly, "I'm not used to going to sea for the first time, and I haven't slowed down for a few days." β
After saying that, he beckoned Professor Lu and them into the room, and after making tea, he said, "You sit down first, and I'll go in and change my clothes and come out." β
Professor Lu looked at the furnishings in the room with great interest, and waved his hand when he heard this, signaling him to take care of himself.
The last time he came, this house was no different from an ordinary small farm yard, but he didn't expect that it had only been a few months, and it had changed a lot. It doesn't look obvious from the outside, but inside the house it looks new.
Professor Lu couldn't help but nodded.
He knows the situation of the Fang family, the burden on the family is heavy, and Fang's father is disabled, if Fang Jing goes home to develop his career, it is also good to take care of his family nearby, especially when it seems that Fang Jing has resigned and has developed well at home, he will be relieved.
After a while, Fang Jing changed his clothes and came out with Cen Jiu, and before he could officially greet those young people, he heard a nervous professor who came with him and said impatiently: "Where is the wreck you fished up?" While it's still early, let's go over and have a look. β
This is a professor who specializes in underwater archaeology, and his personality is particularly impatient, Fang Jing also took his public class at the beginning, and this time the Qing Dynasty shipwreck project hosted by the Department of Archaeology of Haida was also led by him, as soon as he knew that Fang Jing salvaged a suspected Qing Dynasty ship, he couldn't wait to immediately tow the boat back to study it thoroughly.
Fang Jing also knew that these old professors in the department were all old scholars, the kind whose hearts were devoted to research, and it was more in line with their hearts to take out a valuable ancient relic than any entertainment. So he didn't delay, and happily led the people to the docks.
When Professor Yu learned that he threw the wreck directly on the tugboat at the dock, he immediately looked extremely distressed: "How can you just throw the wreck on the tugboat?" The weather is so cold and the air is so humid that it is very damaging to the hull. It's even worse in case of a storm. β
"Yes, yes, the professor is right." Fang Jing apologized again and again, thinking to himself that with such a big ship shelf, even if he wanted to protect it well, he didn't have that condition, otherwise why would he be in such a hurry to get out.
"Oh, when I was in class, how did I teach you, shipwrecks and other cultural relics also need to be carefully handled, how can they be piled up outside as a pile of rotten wood?" Professor Yu was still thinking about it in pieces, and Fang Jing suddenly became two heads and two big.
Fortunately, the fishing village was small, and it soon arrived at the wharf, and Fang Jing's ocean-going tuk looked particularly tall among several half-old wooden fishing boats.
When Professor Yu saw the wreck at the stern of the ship, he immediately abandoned Fang Jing, a disobedient former student, rushed to the deck in three steps and two steps, and ran directly towards the frame of the ship.
Professor Lu instructed several young people who came with him to carry the equipment on the truck to the ship. Just a floor-to-ceiling spectrometer made a bunch of white chicken students work on their shoulders for a long time, Professor Lu They didn't feel anything, Fang Jing had a miserable expression, after seeing Cen Jiu, the expression of a strong man, and then looking at these archaeology students who were originally considered powerful, they were obviously a little disdainful.
Fang Jing rolled up his sleeves and was about to go over to help, but saw that Cen Jiu had already walked over, picked up a one-person-tall instrument that looked quite heavy and carried it on his shoulder, and dragged one in his hand, and jumped onto the tugboat in three or two in front of everyone's eyes, which did not mean that the professor had told them to put it on the deck with care.
With Cen Jiu, a strange sailor, within half an hour, the truck had been moved, and everyone looked at Cen Jiu with the expression of a monster.
Professor Lu is a little better, he has dealt with Cen Jiu before, and he knows that this young man looks very handsome and sven, but in fact, he is a strange force, and even thinks it is very interesting to see other people with stunned expressions.
"Hahaha, Xiao Chen, thank you." Professor Lu patted Cen Jiu on the shoulder and happily went to observe the shipwreck.
Everyone just woke up from a dream, and followed the swarm to the tugboat to do business, leaving only Cen Jiu and Fang Jing on the dock.
Cen Jiu approached Fang Jing, glanced at the people around the shipwreck, and said, "It's so cold, can you go back?" β
Fang Jing: "......"
He touched Cen Jiu's hand, and it was really cold.
"Teacher, you guys are busy first, let's go back first." Fang Jing shouted at Professor Lu's back from afar, but the old man didn't reply, he waved his hand with his back to him, signaling that he could get out.
It's really a ruthless old man who has no students in the eyes of a shipwreck!
Fang Jing thought stupidly.
There is such a large group of people in the village, and it seems that they will not be able to leave for a while, Fang Jing, as the host, of course has to arrange food and drink.
Fortunately, it was almost the end of the year, there were not many guests at the farmhouse, and Professor Lu squeezed the vacant room, but they could still live and eat easily, Fang Jing made up an additional 300 yuan a day for Aunt Gen, entertained Professor Lu and his party to eat and drink, and kept his account. After all, the farmhouse is not his alone, among which Zhu Zhi alone accounted for half of the shares, and Fang Jing originally had half of the shares, but later because Uncle Gen and Aunt Gen discussed, they decided not to use fishing boats and become shareholders in the farmhouse, so Fang Jing gave them 15% of the shares.
Brothers have to settle accounts, and friends have to be clear in terms of money, he doesn't want to be unearned, and even friends don't have to do it.
Estimating that there was some progress on the side of the shipwreck, Professor Lu and the others came back for dinner very late, their faces were beaming, and Fang Jing knew that there was a drama in this matter when he looked at their expressions.
The cold wind blew on the boat for a long time, the young students were okay, they were young and could hold on, Professor Lu and Professor Yu and several other elderly professors were a little unbearable, and after dinner, they cleaned up and went back to the room to rest.
Fang Jing arranged the room, took them upstairs, and said: "There is no entertainment in the village, you can only go to bed early, teacher, you see what is still missing, you can sue me or sΓΉ Chi Chi, if Chi Chi is not there, you can talk to Uncle Gen and Aunt Gen." β
Professor Lu waved his hand, washed his face, and fell asleep.
Professor Lu and his entourage worked hard for more than ten days, and finally it was true that the year of the shipwreck was indeed a shipwreck during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, but it was a pity that the hull was too badly damaged, and it sank in the deep sea, and when it was salvaged, it damaged part of the hull, and basically only the keel part remained.
After eating at noon, several professors got together to discuss for a while, and finally decided that Professor Lu, who had the best relationship with Fang Jing, would be the representative and talk to Fang Jing about the shipwreck sale.
"Xiao Fang, after a few days of preliminary research, it can be determined that the wreck is a ship from the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty." Professor Lu spoke.
"Is it helpful for teachers to do projects?" Fang Jing asked.
"Our project this time is to study the shipwreck of the Qing Dynasty, and this shipwreck is simply prepared for this project."
"That's great." Fang Jing said happily, "I can finally help the teacher." β
He sincerely thinks so, he has been taken care of by Professor Lu during his university years, and he is very happy to be able to help Professor Lu now.
However, the more sincere Fang Jing was, the more ugly the expression on Professor Lu's face became.
"What's wrong?" Fang Jing asked curiously, it was rare to see Professor Lu have such an embarrassed expression.
"The department has not had enough funds recently, so I can only take out 100,000 yuan to buy this shipwreck." When Professor Lu said this, the expression on his face was particularly embarrassed.
He only said on the phone a few days ago that he wouldn't let him suffer too much, but 100,000 to buy a shipwreck of the Qing Dynasty? It's all Fang Jing's big loss.
Fang Jing was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and finally understood what Professor Lu's uncomfortable expression was for.
Shipwrecks are not more than treasures, there are not many people who like to collect, even shipwreck collectors, most of them are military enthusiasts who collect battleships, and there are not many people who are willing to collect this kind of civilian ships that are not famous. If it weren't for Professor Lu, who happened to be doing this project, I don't think they would have wanted to buy a shipwreck to study it.
The most important thing is that the shipwreck is not easy to take care of, and if it is not handled well, it will quickly decay and weather, Fang Jing doesn't want to spend too much effort on this shipwreck, and he can get rid of it.
But the price of 100,000 is indeed a bit low, no wonder Professor Lu is boring, he thinks that he is so old, but he still wants to take advantage of a student, it is not good to say it, and his old face is flushed.
Fang Jing's purpose was just to use the guise of this shipwreck to sell the precious porcelain jewelry he had collected.
It's really better to sell 100,000 than to give it away, it's a personal favor.
Fang Jing smiled and said very briskly: "Teacher, it's too much to say this, the shipwreck is useless in my hands, I still have to spend a lot of effort to maintain it, the teacher's willingness to tow it away has actually helped me a lot." In this way, we don't say whether to buy or not, this shipwreck is my loss to my alma mater for research, but the few pieces of porcelain that were fished up on the ship, and I asked the teacher to help palm the eyes, if there is anything valuable, help contact a few collectors and sell it at a good price. β
Professor Lu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Fang Jing to donate it, and confirmed with Fang Jing: "You really want to donate?" β
"yes." Fang Jing nodded and said, "Back then, I was at school thanks to the teacher's care, and after graduation, he also helped me contact the job, even if I didn't have the ability before, now I have this opportunity, and it can be regarded as a return to the teacher and my alma mater." β
Professor Lu saw that Fang Jing really didn't have a reluctant expression, so he believed that Fang Jing really wanted to donate the sunken ship to Haida for free, and he was particularly moved for a while.
After being a teacher for so many years, no matter how much honor he has received, he has never had a student's interest, and he still remembers that his alma mater is willing to repay his alma mater for free, which makes him happy.
"Okay, since you have this heart, I won't stop you. Take a walk and look at the porcelain you fished up. Professor Lu was very happy, and he also wanted to do something for this young man who valued love and righteousness, and even made up his mind that no matter whether the porcelain that Fang Jing fished up was worthless folk porcelain or precious official porcelain, he would try his best to introduce a few good buyers to Fang Jing.
As a result, when Fang Jing arrived at the Fang family's old mansion, when Fang Jing took the box of porcelain that had been dehydrated and desalination treated by the supplementary step, his eyes suddenly widened.
"This, this, this...... Which museum did you rob, or did you rob the collection room of a master collector? β
He picked up a small bowl with chrysanthemum pattern, the carcass is light and thin, slightly revealing a light cyan, the chrysanthemum of the cup body is in full bloom, the painting is very smooth, the color is beautiful and full, it is the famous bucket color during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.
Although it looks like a bowl, it can be ...... It's a Chenghua bucket cup!
As we all know, Doucai Chuanghua burned in the Ming Dynasty Chenghua years, is the ancestor of the later generations of Doucai porcelain, there are a lot of Doucai, the most precious Doucai porcelain in the Chenghua period is the most famous, and the price is also the highest.
Once a bucket chicken bowl cup in the early years of Chenghua was sold at a sky-high price of 550 million.
Although this cup is not the most precious chicken bowl cup in the wine glass, I believe that there are still many people who are willing to collect it for millions of dollars.
Professor Lu looked down again, and suddenly collapsed even more.
What blue and white Ganoderma lucidum pattern pomegranate Zun, Yongle blue and white phoenix pattern ten-sided plate, pastel gold three-legged incense, pastel flower and bird pattern Tianqiu bottle, these are usually rare to see the palace official porcelain, today I actually saw several pieces at once. Even Professor Lu, who was indifferent to fame and fortune, couldn't help but be deeply jealous of Fang Jing.
"What kind of boat did you catch?" No wonder an ancient shipwreck said it would be delivered.
Fang Jing also looked at him innocently: "Is it worth it?" β
Professor Lu really wanted to beat him: "Fight the color and fight the color!" Do you understand? What I taught you was fed to the dog's belly? β
Fang Jing's whole person was also stunned, and then a burst of ecstasy surged into his heart.
Now, it's really called getting rich!
The ancestors of the Zheng family are really good!
