Chapter 9 What, digging up the bones?

Time flies very quickly before you know it.

Chen Han felt that he hadn't been down for a long time, and as a result, he heard a burst of shouts from above the probe.

"It's time for lunch!"

"Let's all rest and rest!"

"Finish your meal and keep digging!"

Chen Han, who was busy digging the soil, raised his head and looked at his watch, only to find that it was already more than 11:40 a.m., and the sun had unconsciously climbed overhead.

Wiping the fine sweat overflowing from his forehead, Chen Han temporarily put down the archaeological tools in his hand, touched the edge of the probe, and climbed up one step ahead of the others.

For Chen Han, there are only two things in life that interest him the most.

Archaeology and dry rice!

People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry!

Not to mention anything else beforehand, he is definitely the most active one!

When he was in a hurry to come to the excavation site in the morning, he didn't forget to bring five big buns to eat on the way, and he didn't want to be hungry at all.

Patting the dirt and dust on his hands, Chen Han trotted to the makeshift meal point next to the No. 1 construction site.

Several cooks invited from the village had already brought a large pot of rice to the shed.

The chefs in the village are all born in flowing water banquets, so don't expect how delicate the dishes are.

However, in front of Chen Han, there were five large iron pots with a diameter of more than one meter, one pot and one dish, and the steaming look was also extremely attractive.

Seeing the nameplate of the archaeological institute hanging on Chen Han's chest, the chef wearing a white apron and a chef's hat immediately enthusiastically stuffed a large porcelain jar into Chen Han's arms.

"Whatever the big brother wants, eat whatever you want!"

Looking at the simple smile of the chef's eldest brother, Chen Han took a deep breath of aroma and reached out to point at several cauldrons.

"Braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, roasted chicken with pork ribs!"

Three spoonfuls of dishes were smashed, and they smashed into the porcelain jar in Chen Han's hand.

The chef looked like he was afraid that he wouldn't give enough, and kept asking, "Is it enough, if it's not enough, another spoonful?" ”

"These archaeologists are all big cultures, and the secretary has explained, so they must be entertained."

"And I heard from the secretary, the graves you dug here are amazing, and you can build an archaeological park or a museum in the future!"

"When the time comes, our Lajia Village will be able to make a lot of money."

"Yo!" Following behind Chen Han, Zhuang Yunpeng, who was also very positive about dry rice, said in surprise: "Yes, your village party secretary knows a lot, and the pattern is very big!" ”

After the initial excavation of a large Late Neolithic site like the Lajia site, the local government will certainly not miss this kind of good opportunity for tourism.

If the city's finances are insufficient, the provincial finances will be raised.

In any case, we have to carry out a series of cultural and creative work around the Lajia ruins, the smaller ones will be cultural and creative villages, and the larger ones will be engaged in archaeological parks or museums.

As long as this thing can be completed, coupled with the publicity of new archaeological discoveries, at least in the next ten or twenty years, it can bring rich tourism income to Lajia Village!

It can indeed improve the local economic level of Lajia Village!

However, a village secretary can think of these things at once, which is not simple, and he is very far-sighted.

Sure enough, the chef touched the back of his head and smiled innocently: "That's not it, the village secretary is a college student village official who has studied in a big city." ”

"It's amazing, since the secretary came to our Lajia Village, the life in the village has been getting better and better day by day, and it is thriving!"

It turned out to be a college student village official.

Chen Han nodded knowingly.

Contemporary college students, let's not talk about professional ability, the world still sees a lot, and all kinds of fragmented information flooded with the Internet have not been absorbed, so it's not surprising to think of this.

Holding the large porcelain jar, Chen Han casually took a few big white steamed buns from the basket placed next to the cauldron, turned around and walked to the temporary table and chairs, and made them with a click.

The staple food in Lajia Village is mainly wheat, and it is not easy to find enough rice for a while.

So for the time being, I have to be wronged and wronged by the southerners in the archaeological team, and I have to follow the local customs to eat steamed buns, and there is no grain of crystal rice to eat.

Chen Han is from the south and grew up eating rice.

However, as a big foodie, he does not refuse to come, and he eats rice and wheat with a thief fragrance.

After a while, one after another, Chen Han's vicinity was filled with colleagues from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Looking at his infectious eating appearance, everyone had a feeling of appetite.

"It's good to be young, to be able to eat and sleep." Kong Wenjian, who didn't have much appetite, felt that just watching Chen Han eat, he was already full.

He picked up the thermos cup he brought, took a sip of tea comfortably, looked around at the archaeologists he brought, and said leisurely: "How about a morning excavation, are there any results?" ”

In fact, Kong Wenjian knew that the first excavation would definitely not produce results so quickly, just chatting casually during dinner and starting a topic.

But you don't dare not take it seriously.

Kong Wenjian is the deputy director of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the director of the Prehistoric Archaeology Research Office.

A big man in the industry!

The archaeologists present, either his students or his researchers, were all shaken at once.

Zhang Ting, an associate researcher in charge of the excavation of the F3 site, hurriedly said:

"Director Kong, we found a skeleton in the F3 site, but it has not been cleaned up yet, and it is estimated that it will take a day or two."

Tian Desan, an old senior researcher sitting next to him and a professor in the Department of Archaeology of Peking University, also said with a smile: "Lao Chen, we have found several traces of pottery in the F10 site for the time being, but further excavations are needed. ”

"What about your side, what's the matter?"

Kong Wenjian shrugged: "No, this is just the beginning, and the soil layer has not had time to be cleaned up." ”

"Xiaozhuang, what's your situation?"

Zhuang Yunpeng, who was asked, hurriedly put down the steamed bun in his hand and said honestly: "Teacher, we haven't found any important results at the F4 site for the time being. ”

"However, like Mr. Zhang's side, bones were also found in the F4 site, but only a small leg bone was exposed, and it won't be cleaned up for a while."

Chen Han, who was eating wildly, raised his head violently and looked at his senior brother.

Bones found in the pit?!

How did I not know?

He hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, when did you find the bones?" ”

Zhuang Yunpeng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I just found out, and before I had time to tell you, your kid was in a hurry to come and cook." ”

Wow, I've found out!

Chen Han immediately sped up the speed of eating, devoured the contents of the bowl cleanly, and stood up with the porcelain jar.

"Senior brother, teacher, I'll go back to the construction site first, you eat slowly!"

Chen Han put down this sentence and ran towards the F4 site without looking back.

In the blink of an eye, the person is about to run away.

Kong Wenjian hurriedly stood up and shouted at his back: "Xiao Chen! It's hot at noon, so it's time to rest for two hours and wait until the afternoon to continue excavating! ”

It's a pity that by the time he finished shouting, Chen Han had already run away.

Kong Wenjian shook his head and smiled, and sat back helplessly.

"This young man is just motivated."
