The old man gulped and devoured, I drank a little wine alone, and reminded him from time to time to be careful of burning his mouth, the old man said that it was okay, he was hungry for two days, and he couldn't take care of anything, this hot pot tasted too delicious, but the peppercorns were put a little more.

The joy in my heart, you almost swallowed the bottom of the pot to soak the rice, and then I remembered that I put too much pepper?

After eating and drinking, the old man was unsuspecting, and when I saw that it was almost time, I stood up and closed the door of the box, sat down again, and said Uncle, this time it is time for me to open my eyes, right?

The old man took out the rag pocket, uncovered layer after layer, took out a simple Qingfeng short hand, put it on the table, and said Please take a look.

I held it in both hands, leaned in front of me and looked at it, and I knew that this hot pot was worth it. The short sword that the old man took out was slightly longer than an ordinary dagger, but half a cut shorter than an ordinary knife, and the hilt was a short handle, rusty, and had a bronze quaint color.

The modern artificial fake process is very high, but such a pure bronze bottom can't be faked, according to my eyesight, this thing is estimated to be a product before the Qin and Han dynasties.

I played with it in the palm of my hand, and the handle was very thick and there was no blade, indicating that this short sword was not used to kill the enemy in battle, but a symbol of the status of ancient princes. The ancients liked swords, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were even more popular, but later on, people felt that swords were not very lucky, after all, soldiers, murder weapons, and the smelting level of the ancients was not high, that thing was old and heavy on the waist, and the last pit had to be carefully held, and accidentally fell into the pit, it was really a blood mold, so after the Qin and Han dynasties, the ancient princes and nobles also slowly changed their habits and replaced them with peiyu.

Whether it is a jade pendant or a sword, it refers to a gentleman, and it belongs to the representatives of the elegant laymen in ancient times, and ordinary families are definitely not qualified to wear it.

In the ancient times, the regime had a very strict management method for iron tools, and in the era of cold weapons, even buying a kitchen knife had to be real-named, and it was worried that the ordinary working people would rebel with this thing, and it was more strict during the Qin Dynasty, several families shared the same kitchen knife, and the system of joint sitting was implemented, and a family lost the kitchen knife, and several families wanted to cut off their heads together, and those who could afford to enjoy the sword had to be at least a county level knighthood.

The old man saw me staring at the kitchen knife for a long time, but he didn't speak, he was a little anxious, and quickly reached out to grab it back, saying Little brother, is this thing worth anything, you give an attitude, it's dark this day, I have to find a place to rest.

I said uncle, I won't tell you, this short sword is indeed an ancient relic of great historical value, a product of the pre-Qin period, you see, there are words engraved under the handle of this knife, King Qin Zhaoxiang, do you know who he is?

The old man said that he didn't know, he was a prince, and we like to squat at home to watch "Huanzhu Gege" when we have nothing to do, is it the same identity as Brother Ah or something?

I said no, this King Qin Zhaoxiang has a very high evaluation in history, and he belongs to the head of the princes, let me tell you this, aren't you a person close to Dujiangyan, you know who made Dujiangyan, Li Bing, the big boss behind Li Bing is King Qin Zhaoxiang.

The old man's eyes widened, and he said that when he was back, he was a big man (such a big one)!

I coughed, after talking about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages, your short sword is not opened, which means that its owner is not a military attache but a civil official, and second, the patterns on the spine of this sword are mostly rotten and rusty, and the quality is not very good. And then there's this sword.,There's a big gap missing.,So the quality isn't too high.,Of course.,Overall.,This thing is good.,It's still of some value.,Can you tell me how it came about?

The old man said I don't know, wow, my grandfather's generation passed down.

I want to laugh when I hear this, the gap in this blade is obviously broken recently, even the seal is new, if I can't even see this, what are I doing to turn an antique? It's long overdue.

Seeing that he refused to tell the truth, I was not in a hurry, so I said uncle, although the value of this short sword is very expensive, but the origin is unknown, I am afraid that it is the "Yin weapon" of the trend, so let me tell you, I accepted this thing, and it is also a scourge to stay in the store, and the comrades in the industrial and commercial department want to go to my store to drink a cup of hot tea one day, which I can't explain clearly, if you can tell a suitable origin, the value of this thing is high, and if you can't say it, I won't be able to accept it.

It's not that I'm deliberately lowering the price with him, the risk of the Yin collector is very great, there is no relative profit, no one is willing to take this risk, and the bronzes of the Warring States Period, each of them is worth a lot, even if I put the store up, I may not be able to afford this price.

When the old man heard me say this, he panicked, and said Little brother, you can take it, you can give it as much as you want, this thing is useless to stay in my house, it's like scrap iron, and you don't need to chop melons and vegetables, my son is in his early twenties this year, and I want to sell this thing to praise his wife.

I said let's do it, I can't give more, 20,000 yuan, but I still have a request, you have to tell the origin of this thing first.

When the old man heard that it was worth so much, he was immediately so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and I persuaded him to drink a glass of wine, and the wine was too strong, so he told me the truth while it was hot.

The old man's surname is Zhang, and this short sword is indeed not his family's ancestral, but he dug it under Dujiangyan with a fellow villager who was engaged in smuggling business a few years ago. One day, the old man was hoeing grass on the slope of the back hill, and he met the fellow villager sneakily running down from the back mountain beam with a bunch of "iron lumps".

Old man Zhang had a good relationship with the fellow villager, so he sneaked up and wanted to scare the fellow villager, but the fellow villager found him in advance, so he recruited him and let the old man Zhang pass. Old man Zhang walked in and took a look, only to know that the "iron pimple" held by this fellow villager was basically a Luoyang shovel and a rake, and he knew that this guy was not doing anything serious again, and was about to say a few words about him.

As a result, this fellow villager told Old Man Zhang, saying that you don't have to be in a hurry to talk about me, there is a deserted grave in the back mountain, I don't know how many young people's heads, two days ago there was a flood on the mountain, rushed down and knocked down the tomb, many valuable things were washed out, he picked up a lot in the back mountain last night, it is estimated that there is, he can't bring so much alone, since he was seen by Old Man Zhang, he invited him to go to make a fortune.

Old man Zhang is an honest farmer, and he also knows that it is not a good thing to make money from the dead, so he insisted on refusing, and finally the fellow villager was out of line, so he told him, your son is about to graduate from junior college, right? Have you found a job? If you want to go to work in the county government and government, how can you find the back door without delay, your ancestors have been digging in the soil for generations, what kind of gifts can you get?

When Old Man Zhang heard this, it was really like this, so he said that it was something dug up from the pile of dead people, would the leaders of the people want it?

The fellow villagers smiled and said that you don't understand, the objects dug out of this tomb are old and in good condition, that is, antiques, people with status like to play with these things, you take these to give gifts, it is more useful than real money!

For the sake of his son's work, Old Man Zhang finally decided to grit his teeth and accompany his fellow villagers to the mountains to try his luck.
