"I don't know how much it can be sold for?"

Li Yu picked up the golden cake on the table and wanted to take a photo and send it to Zhou Ruotong, but he felt that it was not appropriate.

In the morning, she just sold a piece of silver ingot from the Northern Song Dynasty, and here came another piece of Han Dynasty gold cake, if she didn't suspect the source, it would be hell.

But you can ask the price first, and by the way, warm up this piece of gold cake.

Li Yu thought for a moment, picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhou Ruotong:

"Miss Zhou, I want to ask, is the golden cake of the Han Dynasty worth now? My grandmother said that there were bandits who had buried gold cakes in a dry well in the backyard of my hometown, and if the price was high, I was going to go down and find it. ”

Li Yu's hometown is in the countryside, and there is indeed a dry well in the backyard, but it has long been filled with sundries such as gravel and bricks.

Use this as an excuse to find a suitable reason for selling cultural relics.

Zhou Ruotong was having lunch at the archaeological team's station, and when he saw this news, his brows furrowed slightly.

She put down her chopsticks and came outside and dialed Li Yu's phone:

"You're short on money?"

Isn't that obvious...... Li Yu on the other end of the phone didn't know what this big beauty meant when she suddenly called, and prevaricated with a smile:

"I'm a curious person, and I've wanted to go down and have a look since I was a child."

Zhou Ruotong was a little speechless:

"If you are really short of money, I can lend you some, the dry well is very dangerous, not only is it hypoxic, but it is also easy to collapse, and the legend of bandits burying gold and silver is not reliable, don't joke with your own life."

People who talked and laughed at the dinner table yesterday have become childish ghosts today?

Are men really teenagers until they die?

She complained in her heart and answered the previous question:

"The market price of gold cakes in the Han Dynasty does not exceed 100,000 yuan, and the purchase price of museums is generally 60,000 or 70,000 yuan...... Now that the price of gold is high, it can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan when sold as gold jewelry, but it is related to purity and weight, and cannot be generalized. ”

More than 100,000?

Li Yu was stunned by this number.

That's right, you can take this piece of gold cake to the small shop that recycles gold and sell it, instead of going through the cultural relics channel.

This not only allows you to sell for more money, but also does not involve reselling cultural relics, which is the best of both worlds.

"Thank you, Miss Zhou, I thought about it, digging a dry well is too dangerous, so I still won't go."

Li Yu thanked him and hung up the phone.

He picked up the piece of gold again, observing it and thinking about how to cash it in.

The Han Dynasty gold cake is a very common ancient gold ware, more than 200 pieces have been unearthed in the tomb of the Marquis of Guanghai, and gold cakes can also be seen in other Han Dynasty tombs.

It is said that tomb robbers in the past liked to dig the tombs of the Han Dynasty, especially the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty.

The reason is that there is a lot of gold in the Western Han Dynasty, and the gold rewarded by the emperor is often tens of thousands of catties, and thick burials were still prevalent at that time, even ordinary people will be buried in the tomb with one or two gold utensils.

Moreover, most of the gold vessels accompanying the burial will be engraved with words to commemorate them.

"Huh? Why is there no inscription on this gold cake? ”

Li Yu took the gold cake in his hand and looked at it twice, but he didn't find any words, not even scratches.

This is not right, I remember that the gold cakes in the tomb of the Marquis of Hailun are all engraved.

Li Yu left the dining room with the gold cake, went down the stairs to the study on the second floor, and took out a picture album from the bookshelf, which was a commemorative album that he bought when he visited the tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang last time.

"Wang?"

On the carpet next to him, the sleeping big golden retriever raised his head and looked at Li Yu suspiciously.

"Keep sleeping with you, I'll check the information."

Li Yu sat cross-legged on the carpet where the big golden retriever slept, which made it very dissatisfied, and after snorting, he turned over and got up, staring at the golden cake curiously.

Most of the gold cakes in the tomb of the Marquis of Haihuang have markings, either stamps, inscriptions, scratches or patchwork marks.

And the piece given by Lu Bu not only does not have any artificial markings, but the craftsmanship is even rougher.

Compared with the gold cake in the picture, it looks like a knockoff that does not imitate the essence.

The Marquis of Haiyang is the tomb of the Western Han Dynasty, and Lu Bu's piece of gold cake comes from the Eastern Han Dynasty two hundred years later.

Li Yu scratched his head and picked up the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" next to him, trying to find the answer from it.

As a result, he rummaged through it, and really found it, that is, after Dong Zhuo decided to move the capital, he ordered Lu Bu to dig up the emperor's tomb to find the treasure and take it all away.

Excavating the Emperor's Tomb?

Thinking of Dong Zhuo's actions of defiling the harem as soon as he arrived in the capital, killing the young emperor Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He, and massacring the ministers, then his idea of beating the emperor's mausoleum as soon as he arrived in Luoyang is reasonable.

After all, it cost 1,000 taels of gold to buy Lu Bu alone, so it should cost more to buy other ministers and celebrities.

So much money is definitely not brought from the bitter cold land of Xiliang, it can only come from Jingshi.

And if you want to get a large amount of gold quietly in Beijing, stealing and digging the emperor's tomb has become the best choice.

Li Yu sat down against the bookshelf and made an inference about the gold cake in his hand:

The gold cakes in the tomb were easy to reveal because they were all stamped and engraved, so Dong Zhuo asked people to melt the gold cakes, recast them, and erase the traces on them.

But because the process is not precise and the time is too rushed, it is made into a copycat.

Tsk, it makes sense to think about it.

In this case, Li Yu decided to sell the gold cake to a small shop that recycled gold.

Without the traces of writing, there is no way to prove the origin, on the contrary, the gold cake is rough, more like a gold nugget made from scrap gold extracted from itself.

"Woo~~~"

Just thinking about when to cash out, the big golden retriever came over and screamed a few flatteringly.

Li Yu asked curiously:

"What's the matter? Hungry? ”

The big golden retriever screamed twice, got up and took out a small brown irregular ball from a nearby corner, and placed it on the carpet, pulling it a few times with its paws.

Li Yu picked it up and looked at it, found that it was a chestnut, and asked suspiciously:

"What do you want to do? Want to play ball? ”

"Wang!"

The big golden retriever denied it, licked his tongue, and made a gesture of eating.

"You want to eat this?"

"Woo woo~~~~~~"

The big golden retriever wagged his tail excitedly, looking like he was guessing what was going on.

Li Yule said:

"Why do you suddenly want to eat this thing? There happens to be a chestnut forest nearby, so we can go and pick some of them. ”

After speaking, he patted his head, patronizing the grain, oil, rice and noodles and the like, in fact, chestnuts can also be ordered, whether it is to entertain Wu Song Lu Bu or give it to Zhou Ruotong, it is a good choice.

In addition, chestnuts can be used not only as snacks, but also as stewed chicken, stewed meat, stewed pork ribs, and even chestnut stewed rice or various snacks, which is also very delicious, and is a versatile ingredient.

Since the dog wants to eat, let's pick it.

Li Yu put the piece of gold cake into the bookcase, and planned to go to the gold recycling store in the city in two days to step on the spot and see the situation.

You can't rush this, you have to take your time.

When he came downstairs, he carried a basket with two woven bags in it, then picked up the iron tongs that picked up chestnuts, turned on the electric three wheels, and pulled the big golden retriever down the cement road.

Walk to the middle of the mountain road, and there is a forest on the gentle slope next to it, full of chestnut trees.

The chestnuts that grow inside are big, the taste is glutinous, the fragrance is enough, it is very popular with the villagers of Shizhai, and Li Yu saw them running from the bottom of the mountain to pick up chestnuts a few days ago.

Stopping the electric three wheels on the side of the road, Li Yu carried a basket, iron tongs and woven bags, and led the dogs to attack the chestnut forest.

At the site of the archaeological team, Zhou Ruotong had lunch and was sorting out the excavation materials in the morning, when Pang Donghai, the head of the archaeological team, suddenly came over.

"Ruotong, I heard that you are talking to someone?"

Pang Donghai is nearly fifty years old, he is the proud protégé of the old man of the Zhou family, and he has a close relationship with Zhou Ruotong's father, Zhou Bingren.

Today he heard that a handsome young man had come and wanted to ask what was going on.

It must be the aunt who is gossiping about me...... Zhou Ruotong rubbed his temples and explained:

"It's not the object, it's a silver ingot seller, and the second uncle's piece of silver ingot in the Northern Song Dynasty is what he sold...... Uncle Pang, what are you asking for? ”

Pang Donghai pulled the chair next to him and sat down, and said seriously:

"Your father wants you to go to work at the National Museum after a period of training, and the conditions in the capital are much better than here in all aspects...... I'm worried that you've talked about someone here, and the two places will be separated at that time, so I'll remind you. ”

But I don't want to go back to the capital, I just want to do research on the front line...... Zhou Ruotong wanted to refute, but felt that it was impolite, so he had to protest silently in his heart.

Yinzhou's economy is indeed poor, and it can't be compared with the capital in all aspects, but it is the first line of studying the culture of the Shang Dynasty, so she doesn't want to go back.

And after going back, the elders of the family will inexplicably bring some strangers over, saying that it is an exchange, but in fact, it is a blind date.

Zhou Ruotong was a little disgusted by this, in her opinion, it was better to study the oracle bone inscription with this kind of kung fu.

The subtlety of the words is much more interesting than that of men.

In the chestnut forest, Li Yu and the dog were very happy.

was busy working, a middle-aged man in his fifties rode a battery car over, saw Li Yu, he stopped the car, and greeted with a smile:

"Xiao Li, why are you like us old people, and you also picked chestnuts?"

Li Yu turned his face and saw that the other party was Wang Shengli, the village director of Shizhai Village, and said with a smile:

"It's almost winter, eat it as a snack, Uncle Wang, why are you going?"

"Coming to you......"

Looking for me?

Li Yu put down the basket in his hand and asked curiously:

"What's the matter?"

Wang Shengli had a smile on his face:

"I want you to do the village a favor, I don't know if you have time to ......"
