Chapter 29 Five Emperors Money Gray Mouse
When I got home, I took out the blue and white pot, found aged vinegar, mixed it with some water, mixed it thoroughly, poured it into the pot and soaked it.

After waiting for about an hour, Du Kang took out tools and slowly cleaned them up. After soaking in old vinegar, the hardened copper coins became loose and he gently pried them up.

Take a cigarette and light it, and work while puffing and puffing, it is really enjoyable.

Not long after, he dismantled the hardened copper coins into pieces, took them out of the big blue and white pot, and piled up a small pile.

At the same time, the large blue and white jars were also cleaned out, wiped clean, and placed aside to dry.

Then Du Kang dried the coins with dry clothes and checked each coin one by one.

Xianfeng Tongbao, throw aside casually, Daoguang Tongbao casually throw aside, Tongzhi Tongbao casually throw aside, Kangxi Tongbao should be placed on the table.

The money of the Qing Dynasty is an antique, but it is relatively recent, and except for some special coins, the others are not very valuable.

Believe it or not, go to some stores to find Qing Dynasty copper coins, they can play wholesale for you, hold out a box of copper coins, and let you choose whatever you want.

The best ones are copper coins cast by the Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing dynasties.

This is for a reason.

There has always been a folk custom of using ancient copper coins to drive away evil spirits and attract good fortune. Usually, five copper coins are strung together to represent the power of the five directions and five elements.

The five emperors, in the original sense, refer to the five heavenly emperors of the east, south, west, north, and middle.

These five ancient copper coins with "circle outside and square inside" are also called five emperor coins.

The serious five emperors' coins refer to the half-two coins of the Qin Dynasty, the five baht coins of the Han Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty, the Song Yuan Tongbao of the Song Dynasty, and the Yongle Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty.

The five great emperors on the five emperors' money are the real emperors.

Wenzhi and martial arts are spread far and wide at home and abroad, and the ancient times shine through the present. Therefore, the ancient coins they cast are considered to be spiritual objects with emperor's prestige.

The coins of these five emperors are most suitable for town houses to ward off evil spirits and pray for prosperity.

But the big five emperors' money is so precious that it is difficult to get a set together. Over time, people use small five emperors' money instead.

That is, Shunzhi Tongbao, Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao.

When many people build houses, they often use Xiaowudi money to lay the foundation, or place them in their homes and offices as Feng Shui instruments.

After picking out the five emperors' coins, Du Kang found a pot to cook the five emperors' coins. This is the easiest way to deal with copper coins.

The remaining copper coins were not thrown away, but were collected and put into the space. A piece of grass for laymen is a treasure for experts, and scrap copper coins also have their value.

For example, the re-engraving method in the counterfeiting of copper coins is to use ordinary ancient coins to reprint them into scarce ancient coins.

Grind away the original inscriptions on real money, choose blurred copper coin inscriptions to add engraved words or symbols, etc. to create a rare version.For example, the five-character knife is changed to the six-character knife.

Or two-fifths of the backs of two copper coins are ground off each, bonded together with an adhesive, and the joints are covered with real rust, pretending to be back money.

It can be used in antique restoration and so on.

It can be said to be useful.

It doesn't take up much space, and you can take it out and use it when you need it, which is very convenient.

When the water in the pot was almost boiled, the fire ceased to cool down slowly, Du Kang fished out copper coins one by one, and gently wiped them with a toothbrush to clean up some defects on the copper coins.

I was busy until dinner in the evening. After cleaning up, there were six Shunzhi Tongbaos, five Kangxi Tongbaos, twelve Yongzheng Tongbaos, eight Qianlong Tongbaos, and five Jiaqing Tongbaos.

It's not bad to be able to collect five sets of five emperors' coins.

It is said that in the future, the best five emperors coins will be worth millions. I don't know if it is true or not, so I have to collect it carefully.

Even if it doesn't sell for millions in the future, it's still a good choice to use it yourself.

But this incident also reminded Du Kang that no matter at home or abroad, human beings have a common habit - hiding treasures.

Some are avoiding disasters and burying treasures for later.

Some are stored for a long time to prevent being stolen by thieves.

Some big families even have specially built secret rooms to keep their belongings.

Many of these treasures have been dug up by their owners for use, but over the long years, due to various reasons, many treasures have not been able to see the light of day again, and have been buried silently in the ground, waiting for people to discover them.

And here is the city of Sijiu, the capital of the five dynasties, where countless dignitaries and nobles gather, and there are countless treasures buried here, not to mention many, just finding a small part is enough to make him rich.

It's a pity that I don't know the sixteen-character yin and yang feng shui secret technique, and I don't have the ability to tap acupuncture points, and I can't see where the treasure is. No matter how greedy I am, I can only do nothing.

If you don't have any skills to run to find treasures, it is more likely to dig a lonely field.

Suddenly Du Kang thought that there was an animal taming skill among his skills, maybe he could try it.

Use the skills to highlight the animal taming skills, and found that they are much stronger than ordinary animal tamers, not to mention comparable to animal tamer masters, but not much different.

You can try to train animals and let them find them for you.

What kind of animal is suitable? It must meet the following requirements. First, it can drill holes; second, it cannot attract attention; third, it has a wide range of adaptability.

Drilling holes is easy to explain. Treasures are all underground, and animals need to drill underground to find them.

If you raise one that flies in the sky, it will never be able to find treasure for you.

And then it can't attract people's attention, don't sneak into the village to shoot guns, this kind of thing can't be publicized, it must be done secretly.

If you get a cobra, whoever sees it will be shocked. If someone asks, they can guess what you are doing based on where the cobra appears.

It is necessary to adapt to a wide range.

Treasure hunting is not just in Sijiu City, the world is so big, there are no treasures anywhere, all are buried underground, waiting for human beings to discover them.

If you get a snake, it hibernates in winter, and it’s a fart.

Or raise a weasel?Forget it, that's Huang Daxian, we can't afford to offend him.

After much deliberation, Du Kang only had rats, and rats were common enough that people wouldn't be surprised when they saw them.

It is available all over the world, so you don't have to worry about adapting.

But raising a mouse, he always felt something was wrong.

After hesitating for a long time, Du Kang decided to raise him.

It’s not that no one keeps mice. There are not only experimental mice, but also hamsters, golden bears, and guinea pigs as pets. There are twenty or thirty species.

With so many breeds to choose from, why couldn't he have one?

Wait, Du Kang suddenly thought of something, these varieties are very attractive.

The mice in the house are all gray. If you get a white mouse, it will be as conspicuous as a white man mixing with a black man.

That can only be a house mouse, that is, a common gray mouse in the house...

Raising gray mice always felt a bit psychologically shadowy to him.

Forget the gray mouse is a gray mouse, and the little white mouse is just a variant of the gray mouse, so what if we raise it.

It's all about money.
