Chapter 37 Copper Coins as Scrap Copper Purchases

In just a few minutes, a group of broken babies returned with potatoes in their hands, and they also brought the guys who were eating. Accompanied by a few adults who watched the excitement.

They are also a little envious, exaggerating that Rhubarb is a good dog.

Regarding Wang Manyin's words to keep food, several people naturally refused. In these days, no one is rich. The children are greedy, and it makes sense to stay and eat a bite, but ordinary adults really don't have such thick skin.

I am afraid that when I stew rabbit meat, these broken babies will be anxious, and they will keep going to the door of the cave, and they will not be bitten by rhubarb.

Wang Manyin thought about it, and simply built an earthen stove on the side of the field outside and set up an iron pot to stew meat.

In fact, compared to a few days ago, the earth dog has changed a lot.

Normally, when Wang Manyin is at home, it will only scream a few times when it sees someone coming, and will not really come forward to bite.

If Wang Manyin is not at home, this guy will be a different form, very protective of his family. As soon as someone came to the sidelines, it immediately bared its teeth and rushed forward, not allowing it to get close to the cave at all.

Previously, for the sake of mud kiln noodles, Wang Manyin made a lot of loess blocks, which came in handy at this time.

When everything was ready, he began to make a fire and stew meat.

Look at the sun overhead, it's almost ten o'clock, and you should be able to stew the rabbit meat at noon.

Wait for the pot to heat and pour the oil, add the green onions, garlic and chili peppers to taste, and then pour the half-clay pot of rabbit meat into the pot.

After stir-frying back and forth a few times, Wang Manyin added half a pot of water, covered the pot and stewed.

During this time, he has been groping in the pot, and he also has a bit of the style of a chef.

From the beginning of the rabbit meat in the pot, this group of children was like hungry wolves, squatting not far away, staring at the iron pot, and many of them were still crying.

After the pot boiled, Wang Manyin asked the stone to help add firewood, and he went back to the house to cut the artichoke.

I didn't peel the skin, and directly cleaned the surface soil with a loofah, and everything was done in half. The Loess Plateau has a large temperature difference between day and night, plus a lack of water, so the artichoke starch content is high, and it tastes silky.

I added water twice halfway, and around noon, a pot of potato stewed rabbit meat was finally ready.

This group of broken babies was already impatient, chattering around the pot one by one.

Wang Manyin asked them to put their respective bowls on the ground and line them up, and then shoveled vegetables one by one.

There is no favoritism, one flat bowl per person, and let the children go back to eat with their families.

There are almost two bowls left in the pot, which are naturally reserved for Wang Manyin and rhubarb.

After settling down the rhubarb, Wang Manyin shoveled a bowl for himself, took two cool nests, and squatted at the root of the cave wall to gnaw on.

Not to mention, the stewed artichoke is a little meaty, and even the taste becomes different.

After the two nests were eaten, he had just cleaned up the sidelines when someone came to the door.

He knew this person, Zhang Ersuo of Ishikawa Village, a famous painter in ten miles and eight villages. The so-called painter is the craftsman who carries a paintbrush in the rural areas of the Loess Plateau.

In the past, large families had to find special painters to paint furniture and paint cabinets. There are also murals of gods in temples, which are usually made by them.

This is definitely a technical job, and it is not possible to do without excellent skills.

In the early years, Zhang Ersuo followed his master to the north and south, and he was very popular with his own skills.

It is a pity that there are no big landlords now, and ordinary peasants have difficulty eating enough, and few of them have the heart to ask someone to paint on their furniture.

So Zhang Ersuo is now farming honestly in Ishikawa Village, and only occasionally goes out to do a side job.

The other party was carrying a cloth bag in his hand, and he couldn't see what was in it, and he felt that the weight was not light.

"Full of silver, does the consignment point collect scrap copper?" Asking, Zhang Ersuo put the cloth bag on the ground and bent down to untie the mouth.

"Of course, scrap copper and rotten iron, old books and newspapers, pig and sheep bones...... As long as the supply and marketing cooperatives want something, I will collect it on my side, and the price is the same. ”

Wang Manyin replied casually, turned his head and looked into the cloth bag.

Immediately, he was startled and said urgently, "Where did you get these things from?" ”

The rag bag was full of copper coins, hundreds of them.

"I ...... I didn't steal it. Two days ago, when I was digging a yellow squirrel hole, I dug out a broken porcelain jar from the mountain beam behind the village, and filled it with a jar of copper coins. The porcelain vase looked strangely beautiful, but unfortunately I dug it up. Afraid that he would be treated as a thief, Zhang Ersuo hurriedly explained.

"That's it," Wang Manyin also reacted at this time, and he was a little surprised.

This year is different from later generations, even if you really dig up the ancient tomb, it is not illegal.

And most people do not have a clear understanding of cultural relics, even if they are dug in the ground, most of them are sold by supply and marketing cooperatives.

This is how many museum bronzes came from.

There is also a news on the Internet that a farmer dug up a gold seal and did not know the goods, and got the supply and marketing cooperatives to sell it for eight cents.

However, how much should the purchase price of this copper coin be given, Wang Manyin did not know in his heart. It is impossible to let people wait, and go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to ask.

He reached out and grabbed a handful in the cloth bag to confirm that it was not doped with iron money, and then spoke: "Your copper coins are rusty on the top, according to six cents a catty, what's the matter?" ”

"Okay, you can weigh it." Zhang Ersuo probably inquired about the purchase price of scrap copper from the supply and marketing cooperative, so he did not continue to negotiate the price.

Wang Manyin didn't ramble anymore, and directly took out the rod scale from the cave and hung it on the cloth bag to weigh it.

After weighing, he reported a number: "Four catties and four taels, the cloth bag will give you a tael of gross weight, and you can weigh it yourself." ”

As he spoke, he handed the scale to the other man.

"No, no, just four catties and three taels." Zhang Ersuo waved his hand again and again. In fact, before he came over with his things, he had already borrowed the title of the production team.

After settling the accounts, Wang Manyin went back to the house to take the money and handed it over to the other party.

Sending Zhang Ersuo away, he couldn't wait to find it on this pile of copper coins. As a later generation, Wang Manyin has naturally watched a lot of treasure appreciation programs, and once fantasized about getting rich overnight.

For this reason, he also bought a lot of books on the collection for study. After reading a few books, I realized that I had learned something, and I began to sweep the stalls.

As a result, after throwing away thousands of dollars as tuition, he suddenly woke up.

Although his appraisal knowledge is slightly equal to nothing, he still knows what cultural relics are worth. Especially in this era, there is no such thing as fraud.

However, after looking at two copper coins in succession, Wang Manyin was a little disappointed.

Basically belongs to the Emperor Song Tongbao, this kind of money is a very common copper coin in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the amount of money in the world is very large. Even in later news reports, tons and tons of unearthing continued.

The ordinary Emperor Song Tongbao was extremely low in the market price in later generations, generally a few yuan a piece, and there was no collection value at all.

In addition, there are some Han half two and five baht, as well as Sui five baht, the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty...... I found most of them, and they were basically ordinary products.

Only found a relatively special Kaiyuan Tongbao, which was preserved for future generations, and it was estimated that it could be sold for thousands of yuan.

He was checking, and heard shouts from the sidelines, but it was the two educated youths who he had just picked up back to the village yesterday.

Wang Manyin still remembered their names, the male was called Liu Xiangyang, and the female was called Shen Jinqin.

"You're here, what do you want to buy?" He hurriedly scolded Rhubarb and asked.

"Brother Wang, do you sell iron pots at this sales agency? We're going to buy a bite. Shen Jinqin directly explained the intention.

"What do you mean?" Wang Manyin was a little stunned for a while, "Didn't the production team equip you with a big iron pot?" The four-zhang pot is enough for ten people to eat. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiangyang replied a little embarrassedly: "We discussed it today, and ten people take turns cooking." As a result, I burned out on the first day......"

After listening to the other party's narration, Wang Manyin could only silently praise in his heart: Talent!

After reading the comments, it seems that Yang has a lot of friends this time.

Keep asking for tickets.

To be honest, the updates in the past two days really can't lift the spirit, and I don't have the strength to do anything......
