"Brother, where did you go just now? My uncle almost sailed out to sea to find it. ”

Cai Hongsheng asked Cai Hongming while grilling something on the barbecue.

"Go find something to eat, or what else can you do?"

Cai Hongming caught some oysters, nine-section shrimp and other things in the sea and put them in his net pocket for barbecue at noon, so as not to be seen empty-handed when he came back.

The charcoal fire in the oven is red, and the nine-section shrimp, oysters, and red cockroaches on the shelves are slowly roasted, wafting out bursts of aroma, and when they are cooked, they are dipped in sauce and eaten, and a primitive delicacy will enter the tongue buds. Unfortunately, there is no wine, and if there is, it will definitely taste more delicious.

The pink manta ray also climbed onto the beach and lay on the edge of the barbecue grill to watch Cai Hongming and Cai Hongsheng grill things.

After seeing Cai Hongming eating, this guy suddenly screamed anxiously. Cai Hongming glanced at it, and picked a few prawns to dip in the sauce for it to eat. The pink manta opened its mouth and swallowed it, obviously not enough to fill its stomach, so it screamed again.

Cai Hongming fed some more, and then stopped caring about it. This guy is so big, no matter how much he eats, he won't be full.

Seeing that he no longer feeds himself, the pink manta ray can only lie on the beach and watch him. The aggrieved and innocent eyes made Cai Hongming a little unbearable.

A few girls who came to the island to play watched for a while, and after finding that the pink manta ray was harmless, they came over and asked Cai Hongming if they could let them take a picture with the pink manta ray. Cai Hongming didn't care, but the pink manta ray didn't like it, so he turned his head and went into the sea very arrogantly.

After a whole day on the island, it was not until it was almost dark that a group of people returned on a yacht.

When he returned home, after eating, while his mother was taking his wife out to visit relatives, Cai Hongming secretly entered the cave in the jade ding.

After absorbing the jade toad liquid transformed by the jade ding, the cave heaven blessed the land became larger again and again. Now there are 100 meters in radius. It was full of things, and as soon as you entered, you could smell the fragrance of plants and trees. After Pan Haimin returned home, he followed Cai Hongming's instructions and brought a bunch of live medicinal herbs and seeds from home. What is quite rare is that there are a few wild ginseng trees in it, although the age is not high, but it is much better than the ginseng grown in ordinary gardens. Among them, there was also a bag of wild ginseng seeds, all of which he planted in the blessed land of the cave one by one.

These herbs. In addition, Cai Hongming usually collects it himself, and the entire Cave Heaven Blessed Land is crowded, and there is no spare place.

Blessed are the little fat worms, though.

Since planting the herbs, the little guy's food is not limited to Ganoderma lucidum and tea tree leaves, but also begins to gnaw on the leaves and tubers of those herbs, so that the insect tea pulled out has a herbic smell. Cai Hongming didn't know what the use of the new things it pulled out, so he collected them and wanted to wait for time to find someone to study them. lest anything go wrong with your food.

More than 20 boxes fished up from the sea were neatly placed in the corner of the cave at this time.

Cai Hongming didn't take a closer look at the bottom of the sea, and only then did he find that the box was covered with a layer of iron sheets. After a long time at the bottom of the sea, these iron sheets are rusty and look like a box made of wood. There is a lock on the box, but it is rusted. Cai Hongming went to find a hammer and knocked the lock open.

Open the chest. He suddenly found that there was a box full of copper coins inside. But it's all rusty.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the sea would be wet and stained the box, the owner of the box spent some effort to prevent moisture, not only the outside of the box was wrapped in iron sheets, but also wrapped in a layer of oiled paper, and at the end of the box was padded with a moisture-absorbing dry cloth. But even so, it didn't prevent the copper coins from rusting. After all, it's been a long time at the bottom of the sea. Even if the sea water can't get in, the box will still be permeated by the cold outside.

opened a few boxes in a row, all of them were full of copper coins, and Cai Hongming was not disgusted.

But when I think about it, it feels okay. Because the copper coins in the box are only corroded by the part of the box, the middle one is fine, clean it up, it should be able to rescue some of it, and it is worth a little money. You must know that some of the copper coins of the Song Dynasty were still very valuable.

Then he opened another box.

Suddenly, there was a white light in front of him, and when he looked closely, it was a box of silver collars, Cai Hongming couldn't help but be overjoyed, only this box, his hard work under the water had been rewarded.

The silver collar is the common currency of the old times, and it is also called "pig waist silver" because it is shaped like a pig's loin. Common shapes are round-headed corset, flat-headed corset, and curved corset. After the Yuan and Ming dynasties, similar silver nuggets were called silver ingots and ingots.

Cai Hongming picked up a silver collar. Because the age is too old and the time is too long, the surface of the silver collar has no luster and looks dull. He looked at it and saw that there was no writing on the silver collar.

Generally, like this kind of silver collar, most of them will indicate the source, and some will also indicate the date, but this silver collar does not, obviously it is privately minted silver, that is, privately minted. It seems that the owner of this box is not only rich, but also a bold man. You must know that in the old days, minting coins privately would have to be beheaded. However, these people floating on the sea probably didn't take the government seriously, because begging for a living at sea was originally a matter of pinning their heads to their belts.

After flipping through it, he found that there were eight boxes of silver collars, six boxes of gold collars, and some rhino horns, tortoiseshells, ivory, pearls, glass, agate, and other valuables that could be regarded as rare at that time.

Seeing these things, Cai Hongming's eyes lit up.

I can't help but be unhappy, just do a little math. Now the price of silver is more than three yuan and two cents, so many silver collars, a box of silver collars is at least more than two hundred catties, at the current exchange rate, these silver can bring him millions of income. It's really a horse without night grass and no fat, luck comes, and the gods can't stop it.

With so much money, he can go to Xijiang to vigorously cultivate and plant roses, and the plan to open a store in Jiangnan can also be advanced, but these things are a little more troublesome to deal with, and it seems that he has to find an acquaintance.

After taking a look, Cai Hongming came out of the cave blessed land in the jade ding.

When he returned to the room, his mother's scream happened to be heard outside, and he hurriedly ran out, secretly saying in his heart that it was okay, otherwise it would be bad if his mother and wife found out.

In the following days, he either went out with his wife to visit relatives with his parents, or drank and chatted with friends, or went to the mountains to dig some herbs and plant them in the blessed land of the cave in the jade ding. It's just that there are still a lot of things going on on on the farm in the Western Capital Shengjing, and when spring comes, the Western Xinjiang side will also start cultivating land to plant roses, so there is no time to be idle at all, so after playing for a few days, Cai Hongming set a date and planned to go back with his wife first, while his parents would go back later.

After deciding to leave, thinking that his wife hadn't gone to his uncle's island to play, Cai Hongming cleaned up and took her over, planning to live there at night and live a quiet two-person world with his wife. (To be continued......)
