Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 185 I will advance the money to you first
When he was tired from digging and had a rest, he also went to see Teacher Shi and Lao Xiang for a while.

(I was a little busy. I made a mistake in a person’s name yesterday, and now I’ve changed it *^_^*)

After Teacher Shi dug up the big stone slab, he dug out a total of more than 300 copper coins, which made Lao Xiang envious.

He told Master Xiang that he had seen this stone slab in the morning, but he didn't realize that there were so many copper coins hidden underneath.

Wu Yuansheng quietly told Lao Xiang that the items dug up by Teacher Shi would be donated to the museum, which he "praised" endlessly.

Lao Xiang said that Teacher Shi had a high level of education and should not be short of money.

When the soil layer under the stone slab was hollowed out, one end of the stone slab slid down, and the other end was lifted up, Teacher Shi found that there were words written on the other end of the stone slab.

The handwriting on it says "A certain year of Guangxu", and then there are some small characters.

The small characters are neatly engraved, clear and neat.

After reading a little bit of the above content, it should be a memorial tablet.

Upon discovering this, Teacher Shi picked up the phone and called the Cultural Relics Bureau.

For Teacher Shi, who often donates things, he always has a phone number whether it is a museum or the Cultural Relics Bureau.

After the call was put through, they said it was time to get off work. Tomorrow is Saturday again and no one has gone to work these two days. I asked Teacher Shi to find someone to take this thing back first. When the time comes, they will go and get it and they will reimburse the expense.

He had to start looking for someone again.

If you don't look for someone, although this thing is left here, it may not be stolen by others, but it is not impossible for someone who is not clear about the situation to come over and smash it with bricks or pebbles.

"Do you know anyone who specializes in moving things?"

Teacher Shi looked through the phone for a while. Maybe he didn't find the right person, so he asked Wu Yuansheng and Lao Xiangdao.

"You've asked the right person. Master Xiang happens to be here, and he knows someone who specializes in helping carry things."

Wu Yuansheng is also a person who knows how to protect ancient cultural relics. Such "physical cultural relics" with written records have great general research value and historical value.

If it is discovered and not protected, it is likely to be destroyed as garbage in the future or be dug up by an excavator and buried forever in a dump.

Teacher Shi discovered this slate with words on it and was willing to donate everything he got. He definitely cannot reach this level at the moment.

But it’s still okay to do something that’s easy to do casually.

"I know people who help others move things, but this stone slab looks quite heavy. It would take four people to lift it.

Asking them to come over and get things done would also waste time. Without a 100-yuan appearance fee, they would definitely not come over! "

Lao Xiang explained the approximate cost of finding someone to make a trip.

"It's okay. The Cultural Relics Bureau said they would reimburse your contact person. Counting you and Xiao Wu, I will ask them to give you 600 yuan together. Xiao Wu's electric car is here, you just ask them to come directly! Of course, I will advance the money first."

After listening to what Lao Xiang said, Teacher Shi said.

"You'd better tell them there. The labor and freight costs together will cost 600 yuan."

After thinking about Master Xiang for a while, he took out his mobile phone to prepare contacts and said to Teacher Shi again.

"No, I told you I'll advance the money to you first. The Cultural Relics Bureau said they would reimburse it, so they won't refuse to reimburse it. Just call someone to come over!"

When Teacher Shi said this, Lao Xiang didn't say anything and called people to contact him.

After the contact was made, they couldn't come over so quickly.

Next, while they waited, they each continued digging in the soil.

Teacher Shi basically spent his afternoon digging near this bluestone slab.Seeing this stone slab just now and the cultural relics bureau that Mr. Shi mentioned reminded Wu Yuansheng of something.

Colleagues who have known this place and have inspected items here say that there was an archaeological team that conducted archeology here for about a year during the demolition of the Ninth Street and Eighteen Lanes.

This kind of archeology is not the archeology of tombs, but the archeology of history, culture and the lives of ordinary people.

At that time, when the archaeological team came to do the archaeological work, the place was under some old houses or under the old city wall.

When they were doing archeology, people living nearby and other people who came to play in a place not far from them were supposed to pick up porcelain pieces and hunt for treasures.

It is said that some of the people invited by the archaeological team were from the suburbs, and a few of them were from the same village as their fellow explorers.

At that time, I heard from my colleague that some archaeologists also went out to pick up things in their spare time.

We are all human beings. Archaeologists are no different from ordinary people when they take a break after work.

In the afternoon, although Lao Xiang did not have a detector and was not as lucky as Teacher Shi, he did not fail to dig something.

He dug along a corner of the wall and found more than a dozen copper coins, three small porcelain toys, and two dominoes.

Copper coins and coins are ordinary coins, only a few dollars each, and their quality cannot be compared with what's in the jar.

Three "little toys": a small dove-shaped whistle, a porcelain pony, and a blue and white porcelain boy.

Among them, the horse and the boy were somewhat mutilated.

The two dominoes are very thin, one is sixty thousand, the other is eight tubes, and they are in average condition.

In fact, Wu Yuansheng could take these ordinary items now or not, but Lao Xiang said they would be packaged and bought cheaply for him, so he bought them by the way.

Lao Xiang said everything would cost 100 yuan.

These things are relatively easy to sell at the moment, but in a few years, basically no one will buy them.

After about half an hour, the four people Lao Xiang called for arrived, two of them were the people who had helped him move the door pillar before.

When they came, they brought ropes, wooden sticks and other tools, and one person even rode a large gasoline-powered tricycle.

Seeing this, Wu Yuansheng said that they could just use their tricycle and give up his transportation fee to the person riding the bicycle.

The stone slab weighed five to six hundred kilograms, and it took four people about half an hour to get it to the car.

After placing the slate, they left together.

After checking the time, it was already past 06:30, so he packed up his tools and returned.

"I went to the recycling bin in the afternoon and selected a lot of old books, as well as some envelopes, receipts and other items!"

When they arrived at the rental house where Yi Xiaoyue's mother lived, she was picking vegetables and said to Wu Yuansheng.

Although they live in a newly bought house, the place where they eat at night is still at Yi Xiaoyue's mother's place.

"Well! Thank you for your hard work. Don't you still have to learn to drive? Just choose it today. I will choose it when you have time after you get your driver's license."

As he was driving over, he suddenly thought of this problem.

"Hmm! I didn't think of this before, so I'll go there once or twice a week to try my luck!"

While the two were talking, he started to help.
