"Boss, what dynasty do you think that silver bottle is from?"
"It's hard to say, after all, I haven't seen the actual thing, but Yunfeng, one thing is certain. If those people really took out a silver vase from the water back then, it would definitely be something after the Tang Dynasty."
"Why?"
"Botou, this type of silverware system existed as early as the Warring States Period." I asked doubtfully.
He took a sip of tea and said, "In the past, architectural fragments of the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty were unearthed in the north of Xi'an. At that time, the shape of the thing was not a dragon head and a fish tail, but a dragon head and a dragon tail. It was only after the Song Dynasty that the style was gradually fixed. "
"Boss, do you think this thing is a ritual vessel? A practical vessel? Or a sacrificial vessel? Is it for wine or something else?"
He raised his head and frowned and said: "Such things don't appear out of thin air. They are most likely to be of sacrificial nature. In the past, people said that Chiki likes to live around springs. Their main function is to protect. It may mean that it doesn't matter what they want to protect. Please take the time to check. Check the county annals to see if there are any temple buildings directly related to the royal family in Chun'an during the Song and Ming dynasties."
"Okay, head, I'll check it out later. I think this thing is very important. We must get it if we have the chance."
He raised his head and said with a smile: "Yunfeng, you always like to study things that haven't even been solved yet. It's been snowing these two days. I hope the lake won't freeze, otherwise the difficulty of our plan will increase a lot."
"You contact Guangxin and see if their car can arrive today or tomorrow. Send the silver ingots and other things that are difficult to deal with in a short time to your cousin. Let's travel light and don't carry too heavy a burden."
"Okay, I understand."
We have cooperated with Guangxin four or five times, and there has never been any problem. Because the mysterious boss of Guangxin has a good personal relationship with Qin Xida, we feel safe leaving our things to them. It is not difficult to see that in the past year or two, the boss has been influenced by me to some extent. In the past, when we sold things, we paid attention to fast in and fast out, and we had to sell at low prices.
Now because I have established the secret line of Xiaoying, many of our things can be sealed up secretly. I think this is a step that must be taken to become bigger and stronger in the future. If you don’t believe it, you can refer to the famous store "Treasure Capital" opened by Master Yao in Inner Mongolia later. "At that point, it's not about choosing products, but choosing people. The profit margin here is huge.
I am getting older and some of my thinking has become solidified. In the future, the Northern School will have to rely on me to innovate its model.
I slept until about one o'clock in the afternoon when I was woken up by the echoing duck calls. The reason was that it was already one o'clock and Brother Yu had gone out and he forgot to pour wine into the small bowl in the duck cage.
If this duck doesn't drink, it will quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.
"Don't let anyone sleep anymore! Damn it! It's so noisy!"
"Xiaoxuan! Xiaoxuan!"
"What are you calling me for?"
Xiaoxuan came out of the bathroom holding a basin and said.
I said, "The Maotai that Brother Yu bought the day before yesterday is in the cupboard. Go feed it and help me wash my jeans later."
Xiaoxuan said calmly: "You haven't eaten yet? Do you want me to bring you a bowl?"
"Okay... no need, I'll eat by myself later, haha."
Xiaoxuan put the washbasin on the floor, folded her hands, looked at me expressionlessly and said, "Xiang Yunfeng, am I your maid or your slave? You come and go without a trace every day, and you fall asleep when you get up. I still have to wait for you to eat, drink and poop, right?"
I quickly said: "No, Xiaoxuan... I didn't mean to order you. It's because I've been busy with some things these past two days and I'm very tired. I didn't sleep a wink last night or the night before."
Xiaoxuan snorted. He put down the laundry and helped feed the ducks that kept quacking. Then he came over with a bowl of rice and handed it to me and said, "Eat."
The top of the rice looked normal, but when I pulled it with my chopsticks I found a lot of meat hidden underneath, which was still hot.
I looked up and saw that Xiaoxuan had entered the bathroom again.
I guess she had already served me this bowl of rice. I was very touched and felt that I owed her.
After dinner, I began to immerse myself in checking relevant information and studying old county annals. The result was a bit beyond my expectation.
The temples in Chun'an that had a relationship with the royal family in the past include Qianling Temple, Ciguang Temple, Zhongzhou Zen Temple, and the Longshan Temple. These ancient buildings all appeared in the middle and early Ming Dynasty, and were still there during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. Later, they suffered small attacks during the war. After the Japanese bombing, it was seriously damaged until it sank to the bottom of the Xin'an River in the 1950s.
It is recorded in the official history that Zhu Yuanzhang worked as a sweeper on Xiaojinshan Island, so I started to wonder, is the Chi Kiss Silver Vase related to his old man? After all, it was an object with a dragon pattern on it.
If you want to verify it, you have to see the real thing. If the real thing is in the style of the early Ming Dynasty, it is really possible. It would be better if there is a specific year inscription on the bottle.
Anyway, I don’t plan to press Yu Dingcheng on this matter. Pressing too hard may be counterproductive. The fact that he came to see me last night shows that he is restless. If I can buy it from him for two million this time, then I will back off. Can make a net profit of five million.
At around four o'clock, I took a taxi to Qiaoxi Hotel to see Little Red Hair. I never thought that something would happen to me as soon as I arrived.
"Why haven't you woken up yet? Even if you are weak, you should wake up! It's been a day and a night!"
At this moment, the little fox Shaqi was still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. Her face was so pale that there was no sign of waking up.
Little Red Hair said: "Brother, she still has several diseases, is it related to those?"
"What disease?"
"I don't know. It's a chronic disease. Anyway, the little fox always fainted in the past."
"Stop fucking talking here! Go to the hospital quickly!"
I took the person to the city hospital for a check-up. After hearing what the doctor said, I didn't know what to do.
Little Shaqi suffers from moderate anemia, malnutrition, developmental delay, and some chronic glomerulonephritis.
I remembered that night she laughed and called me Nephritis Peak, and asked me whether I had chronic nephritis that kept getting better. It turned out that she had this disease herself, so she understood.
The doctor said that these problems could not be cured in a short period of time, and that he needed to be recuperated slowly by supplementing nutritional fluids. Because little Shaqi was very underweight, the doctor once suspected that I had harmed a child, and was even prepared to call the police privately.
I didn't dare to stay in the hospital longer, so I took advantage of the situation and called Little Red Hair and his gang to leave secretly.
Of course, I don’t go home directly. I still need to see the doctor. Don’t forget that I also know an expert doctor locally.
An hour later, inside the small clinic.
"Sister Song? Sister Song?"
I called several times in a row.
After Dr. Song took Xiao Shaqi's pulse, she looked shocked and froze on the spot.
I didn't know what was going on, so I said carefully: "Sister Song, you are hiding your secrets. Please help her. Use your secret elixirs to help her recuperate. This child is pitiful. She was abandoned by her parents when she was very young. I'm living on the street, and I may not have had a full meal in my entire life."
Doctor Song waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say anything."
She glanced at the sleeping little Shaqi, took a deep breath and said with a smile: "There is no place to be found after breaking through the iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here. This child is destined to be with my little Jialan Temple."
