When Gao Mingcheng returned to Wang Xun's house, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, Wang Xun and the others had already had dinner, and they didn't know that Gao Mingcheng would come back, so they didn't leave him food.

However, after hearing that Gao Mingcheng hadn't eaten dinner yet, Mother Deng immediately said: "There is meat and eggs in the kitchen, I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles!" ”

With that, he walked towards the kitchen.

Although Wang Xun is a little off the beaten track here, and the house he lives in is average, the household appliances that should be there are all complete, and when Gao Mingcheng came back, Mother Deng was watching a TV series.

However, she has a very good impression of Gao Mingcheng, so even if she is still addicted to the plot, she does not hesitate to get up and go to the kitchen.

Wang Xun moved a stool for Gao Mingcheng and asked curiously, "Why did you come back at this time?" Yesterday, the woman, her relatives came to pick her up? ”

Wang Xun thought it was incredible, they met a fainting woman halfway while driving, and this woman happened to be Gao Mingcheng and knew each other!

If this is their county, then Wang Xun is not surprised, but this is the capital!

But although I think it's incredible, I think everything is possible, didn't he and Deng Wanwan meet on the train, and then go to the capital together to develop, and finally get married?

It can be seen that there are many fates in this world.

Gao Mingcheng didn't want to be too specific, only said that she had notified her brother to pick it up, and said that her brother had given them a gratuity in order to thank them.

Gao Mingcheng took out a stack of money from the bag.

Fifty pieces were stacked on top of each other like bricks.

Now the bank has circulated the hundred-dollar bill, but there are almost no hundred-dollar bills on the market, and it was not issued until August 20, 92, so the people used the four great men's version of the hundred-dollar bill.

This stack of money, there are 10,000 yuan, each of which is 50 yuan, and there are 200 pieces, stacked together, it is indeed thick enough.

Wang Xun can be regarded as having a small net worth, but he was still extremely surprised in the face of the 10,000 yuan handed over by Gao Mingcheng.

"Honorarium...... So much? I didn't do anything......" Wang Xun's expression was a little dazed, he felt that he just met a person halfway, and then sent the person to the hospital by the way, other than that, he didn't do anything.

Therefore, I feel a little embarrassed to take someone's 10,000 yuan honorarium.

Wang Xun refused to ask for it, but Gao Mingcheng insisted on handing him the money: "Take it, her brother is quite rich, and he finally found his sister, so he was very generous." ”

Jiang Hu gave him more money, naturally than that, but he didn't take it all out and share it equally with Wang Xun.

Because this money can be regarded as something he earned by taking advantage of the information gap.

Jiang Hu once said that as long as anyone finds his sister for him, he will be rewarded heavily, but this is only known by a small circle of people, not everyone knows, and not everyone knows Jiang Hu's sister, in the vast sea of people, it is not easy to find someone.

Therefore, Gao Mingcheng knew that Jiang Hu valued his sister and knew that the honorarium was a lot, but before that, he never thought of relying on this to make a fortune, because even if he was reborn, he didn't know what happened to Jiang Hu's sister and where she was found.

It's just that the money can't stop it, and I actually met it here.

Wang Xun lamented the deep love between brothers and sisters, and Gao Mingcheng also lamented the impermanence of fate.

Wang Xun finally accepted the money, because Gao Mingcheng said that he took the big head, and the 10,000 yuan was a small head, so Wang Xun accepted it with peace of mind.

He only sent people to the hospital, while Gao Mingcheng stayed in the hospital to take care of people, and contacted his family members to pick them up, he really should take the lion's share.

"Mingcheng, then should we go to Tongzhou?" Wang Xun asked.

I was going to go to Tongzhou yesterday, but it was delayed for two more days.

"Go!" Gao Mingcheng still decided to take a trip, because when he returned home, he would not go far again in a short time, so no matter whether he had any gains in Tongzhou or not, he planned to take a trip.

Since Gao Mingcheng went, Wang Xun would definitely go too, he had gone with someone before, but he only stayed there for a day or two, and he didn't feel happy.

"The noodles are ready, Mingcheng should eat them while they are hot!" Mother Deng held a large bowl and walked towards Gao Mingcheng with a smile.

Gao Mingcheng hurriedly got up and took the big bowl.

This bowl of noodles is very full of ingredients, with meat, eggs and vegetables, which is delicious to look at, in addition, some chili oil made by Deng Mu herself is added.

Gao Mingcheng thanked him, sat down with a bowl and ate, and while he was eating, a white dog came over and seemed to want to get some food.

This white dog was raised by Wang Xun to guard the scrap station, and he was usually fierce, but after Gao Mingcheng came over, he didn't do much to Gao Mingcheng, and even Wang Xun was surprised, thinking that it was the reason why the white dog liked Gao Mingcheng.

But Gao Mingcheng knew that after he and the white dog looked at each other, the white dog would not dare to be fierce to him, which may be the survival instinct of animals.

Gao Mingcheng glanced at the white dog and remembered the black tiger he raised, so he picked out a piece of meat with chopsticks.

As soon as the meat landed on the ground, it was devoured by the white dog.

Next, one person eats noodles, and one dog watches, but it is also harmonious.

After Gao Mingcheng finished eating the noodles, it was almost nine o'clock. Deng Wanwan began to call her two stepsons and stepdaughters to go back to their rooms to sleep, because they had to get up early tomorrow to study.

The two children are still thinking about the TV show, and they refuse to leave.

With a snap, Wang Xun turned off the TV, his face was blank, his eyes were glaring, and he ordered: "Hurry up and go to sleep!" ”

The two children had no choice but to go back to their rooms to sleep, and Deng Wanwan told them to remember to go to the toilet and drink water.

Gao Mingcheng was also ready to go back to his room to sleep.

However, before going to bed, he punched a set of punches in the room, sweated profusely, went to take a shower, and when he came back and lay down on the bed, he fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Wang Xun drove and took Gao Mingcheng to Tongzhou again.

As he passed by the road, Gao Mingcheng looked out the window.

There had been a light rain last night, and the air was still wet in the morning, and the rut marks on the path leading to the woods were even more messy.

This is because in a short period of time, there are cars running over this road.

The car was moving at a constant speed, and the road was quickly left behind the car, Gao Mingcheng retracted his gaze and no longer thought about Jiang Hu.

Tongyan Expressway was opened to traffic this year, but now it is the beginning of the year, and it has not yet been opened to traffic, so they go to Tongzhou, can not run high-speed, the speed is much slower, set off at seven o'clock in the morning, and do not arrive until it is close to twelve o'clock at noon.

There was no traffic jam, but it took some time for Wang Xun to find someone to ask for directions.

At this time, the trade in cultural relics has not yet been determined, so there is a certain risk in buying and selling antiques. When he got here, Wang Xun started his old business - collecting waste.

If you are lucky, you can buy a jar for dozens of dollars, and tens of thousands of yuan can be dropped!

Of course, this probability is still relatively low.

Wang Xun was not familiar with this place, so he couldn't take Gao Mingcheng to the door directly, but talked to someone first on the grounds of collecting waste.

Gao Mingcheng was not familiar with this, so he acted as Wang Xun's helper, and when someone sold scrap, he helped sort out the scrap, and then weighed and counted the money.

In the process of collecting waste products, Wang Xun told those old residents that he also collected some old things from the past, and if anyone wanted to sell them, they would take them out and sell them.

"You also take what you used to have? People who have old things at home have already sold almost them! Someone said.

Tongzhou is very close to the capital, so the cultural relics dealers will never let Tongzhou go, if Tongzhou is a field, then it has been ploughed over and over again.

Of course, there may be good stuff too!

Wang Xun and Gao Mingcheng were not disappointed, and continued to shout along the street to collect scrap, and from time to time an old lady called them to stop, saying that they wanted to sell scrap.

Old ladies will live, and they will save things that they don't need, and they will find an opportunity to sell them for money, what broken pots and bowls, what homework books used by children, and miscellaneous things.

One of the old ladies heard that they also collected old things, so she took out an old umbrella and asked Wang Xun if she wanted it.

Wang Xun's spirit was shocked, someone finally sold old things!

So he took the umbrella and looked at it carefully.

As soon as the umbrella is in hand, it feels very heavy, and the handle of the umbrella is very thick, and it is carved into the shape of a gourd, and the umbrella frame and umbrella surface are also very heavy.

Apart from its weight, this umbrella has no other features.

Wang Xun looked left and right, and didn't see any special value of this umbrella.

But he didn't return the umbrella, but handed it to Gao Mingcheng.

The two of them went out together, and now they are drinking the street together, so what he can't see, let's give Gao Mingcheng another look.

Gao Mingcheng stretched out his hand to take it, this umbrella really has no characteristics except for the solid materials.

But looking at the style, it's a bit like that of southern Yunnan.

"It's so heavy, is there gold and silver jewelry hidden in it?" Gao Mingcheng held the thick umbrella handle and said tentatively.

The old lady who took out the umbrella hadn't spoken yet, but the people around her did, "Haha, if you really hide gold, silver and jewelry, how can you still do it?" We've all seen this umbrella and checked it with a metal detector! ”

Gao Mingcheng glanced at the person who spoke, well, there are still a lot of smart people these days.

In the past, there were rich people who hid some gold and silver jewelry in the inner layer of the chest, which was so well made that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

But, who let there be metal detectors now?

Scan it with a metal detector to see if there's anything hidden inside!

Of course, if it's paper, it's hard to find.

It's just that ordinary people think that gold and silver are valuable, and only then can they have hidden value.

Gao Mingcheng opened the umbrella surface and found that although this umbrella was old, it could still be used, that is, the tip of the umbrella was polished, and it was obvious that this umbrella had been used as a crutch.

Gao Mingcheng is not an expert in this area, but he buys things very casually, if he likes it, as long as the price is right, then it is okay to buy it, and the main bet is a word.

So Gao Mingcheng asked directly: "Auntie, how much do you plan to sell this umbrella?" If it's suitable, I'll take it away, and if it's not suitable, forget it. ”

He said it casually, and the person who took out the umbrella also decided that there would be nothing hidden inside, after all, he had only heard that it was hidden in a box, but not in an umbrella.

The reason why the handle of this umbrella is thick may be that it was used as a walking stick by a former businessman.

"Twenty bucks!" The aunt who took out the umbrella said.

After 90 years, the wages in Tongzhou have risen, mostly more than three or four hundred, but twenty yuan is not a small amount, at least when someone came to buy old things before, this umbrella was not sold.

But she met Gao Mingcheng, Gao Mingcheng recently made a windfall, and wanted to have a good start, and was willing to buy horse bones, so she said: "Okay, I'll take it, if you have other things, you can also take them out, and the price I give will be higher than others." ”

He opened the bag, took out two ten-dollar bills from it, and handed them to the aunt who sold the umbrella.

After buying the umbrella, he casually put it in the car body, seemingly not caring at all.

The people around congratulated the owner of the umbrella for selling it for a good price, but no one went to sell the good things anymore.

This made Wang Xun and Gao Mingcheng a little disappointed, so they could only continue to walk towards the streets and alleys in front.

"Well, I thought someone else was going to come up with something else." Wang Xun said disappointedly.

He felt that the umbrella was mediocre, the umbrella surface was very old, there were no words and paintings, it was an ordinary oil-paper umbrella, and the tung oil brush was uneven, some places were deep, some places were shallow, and it looked even older.

The umbrella stand is also very worn, and although it can still be opened, it is no longer smooth to use.

Even if it is smooth to use, this umbrella is so heavy, and it is tiring to hold the umbrella!

Gao Mingcheng put the umbrella in the car body casually before, but now he played with it, he said: "I think there is something hidden here." ”

Wang Xun was stunned for a moment, and then carefully studied the umbrella handle, the umbrella handle was so integrated that there was no trace at all.

"Impossible, right? Everybody has used metal detectors. "Wang Xun doesn't believe it, he can't see it with the naked eye, forget it, don't you believe in metal detectors?

He also has that thing at his scrap yard, and it's quite convenient to use, and you can find metal in a mess of scrap.

Gao Mingcheng touched the thick and heavy umbrella handle, and read a sentence smoothly: "Children and grandchildren are stunned, broken spring stools, you are only allowed to burn, not sell!" ”

Someone once hid the treasure in the spring stool, fearing that his descendants would become poor in the future, so he left such a sentence. If the children and grandchildren listen to the old man and take the spring stool to burn, then the gold and silver hidden in it can make the children and grandchildren make a fortune again.

Wang Xun doesn't understand.

Gao Mingcheng wasn't very sure, he just felt that this umbrella had the characteristics of southern Yunnan, so he remembered some legends in southern Yunnan.

Southern Yunnan has produced gems since ancient times, and some big horse gangs even often go to nearby countries to do business, so there are many legends.

For example, 'the poor go to the Yifang factory in a hurry', Yifang refers to Myanmar, India, Thailand and other countries, and the factory refers to the jade mines, silver mines, and gem factories in this area.

People who stay in their hometowns may live in peace, but it is difficult to get rid of the fate of facing the loess and facing the sky and facing the hardships of generations.

If you go out and wander, you may change your fate and make a fortune, and of course, you may die in a foreign country.

In the past, thieves were rampant, so the rich had the habit of burying treasures. And each family has its own saying.

Gao Mingcheng was deeply impressed by another slip: "Upper Seven Hills, Lower Seven Hills, gold and silver are hidden in Seven Seven Hills, who can buy Tengyue Prefecture." ”

Tengyue Prefecture is the Tengchong side of Baoshan in southern Yunnan, and if you can buy a city, how many treasures do you have to hide!

Therefore, after seeing that this umbrella has a bit of southern Yunnan style, Gao Mingcheng decided to buy it at a premium.

It's a big deal! (End of chapter)
