Chapter 350: Iron Money as Bait, Thousands of Miles Away
Two hours later.
We dug more than sixty plum blossom pits, but not even a single hair was found, let alone a marching pot.
Douyazai gasped: "Feng... Fengzi, didn't you say there must be one? Give me an explanation."
"There is a high probability! It's just that we didn't draw the right range! They might have been buried separately for some reason back then!"
Marching pots were not something ordinary people could have in the past. According to common sense in the industry, if a Song Dynasty money jar is found somewhere, there is a high probability that there will be a second or even a third one nearby. There was no mobile payment in the past, and once there was a war somewhere
Well, banks are not safe, and the only way for people to preserve their property is to bury it all underground.
Dou Yazai said loudly: "This island is so big! If we attack the plum blossom pit and explore it all! We may not be able to finish it until March next year!"
Brother Yu said: "Yes, Yunfeng, this method of finding a needle in a haystack is a waste of time. Is there a faster way?"
I shook my head: "The marching pot is not even a cellar. If you want to go faster, there seems to be no faster way except using a detector."
"Then let's repair the detector! Where should we go to repair it?" Dou Sprout asked loudly.
I thought for a moment and said, "That's it for today. I'll call it a day and I'll figure it out."
I called someone immediately after I got back.
"Who are you?"
"Boss Mei, it's me."
"Who do I think you are calling in the middle of the night? Xiang Yunfeng, your phone number keeps changing. What's the matter?"
"I'll show you some money. You'll definitely be interested."
I read the complete Yongle Tongbao and sent it to Meimei via MMS. However, I did not send the front view, I only sent a picture of the back, which was taken under a desk lamp.
She called back soon.
"This is iron money, right? Xiang Yunfeng? I'm not interested."
I smiled and said: "Boss Mei, don't say that I'm not thinking of you if you have any good things from now on. If I had ordinary iron money, could I find you in the middle of the night?"
She said: "It's not gold, silver or copper. I don't like precious iron coins. I deliberately didn't show the inscription on the face. Let me guess, Chunxi, right? How many do you have? Do you have fifty coins in your hand?"
"
"What is Chunxi? Chunxi is nothing!!"
"Oh? If it's not Chunxi, what else could it be? There is no smaller variety of iron money than Chunxi. Don't be too pretentious. Tell me, what is it?"
"I can't say. If you want to know, just come and see it in person. If I am interested in the price, you can take it away on the spot. I am not interested in doing research. I am only interested in Mani. By the way, I will help me complete the set.
A better detector, I can use it."
Meimei's curiosity was aroused by me. She hesitated for a few seconds on the other end of the phone and muttered: "Chunxi has only been minted for less than six days, and your money is less than that? Xiang Yunfeng, are you sure it's not the case?
You drank too much in the middle of the night and you took advantage of me for fun?"
"What else do you want the detector to do? Find a cache?"
"I don't want an ordinary detector, I want a well-adjusted high-power pulse. Anyway, I swear, I'm not kidding, Meimei, this iron coin is more valuable than gold, silver, and copper! It is an orphan in the country and has no historical records.
, once you miss it, you will never see it again in your life. If you don't come, then I will find someone from Siping."
When she heard me say the word "lone product" and heard me talk about looking for someone from Siping, Meimei's breathing became rapid.
I know this kind of woman, and I know what to say to attract her heart. It would be boring if she read the iron-money inscription.
"Boss Mei, I'm in Qiandao Lake, Qiandao Lake Town, Chun'an County, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, where are you?"
She said: "Of course I am still in the Yongzhou store, and you are in Chun'an County, so we are a bit far away."
"It's not too far. You can drive there in just over ten hours. Come here and remember to bring the pulse for me. I'll wait for you tomorrow night."
"Xiang Yunfeng, are you in such a hurry?"
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that good things wait for no one! If you want to see the true face of Lushan, I only give you twenty-four hours, and you won't wait until the expiration date."
"Then... ok, I'm getting ready now. Let's go. Xiang Yunfeng, you'd better not lie to me. If you dare to fool me with a rag, I'll go over and send you a pulse. It'll be nice for you."
"Remember to bring Pulse!"
"Know."
.....
The next day, around 7:30 in the evening, it was already dark.
I kept looking around at the pier and saw no one, so I took out my cell phone and called.
"Hey, I didn't see your car, where have you been?"
"I'm at the pier. I can see a stationery store."
"Stationery store?"
"I know! Just wait for me for a few minutes! I'll be there soon!"
It turned out that she had gone to the West Pier. I ran all the way over and saw the familiar car in the distance.
"Okay, beautiful lady, I haven't seen you for almost a year, and you are getting more and more beautiful."
Meimei's facial features are not particularly outstanding, but maybe she has been exposed to a lot of ancient coins and other cultural relics since she was a child. She has an old-fashioned look. I think if she took off her glasses and wore a cheongsam, she would look like a beautiful lady from the Republic of China.
"Xiang Yunfeng, what's wrong with your face? You were beaten by someone?"
"I accidentally fell down. It doesn't matter. You are really getting more and more beautiful."
"Go, go, go, no need to say nice things, what are you doing in Qiandao Lake? As far as I know, this place is not your territory."
"I'm here for a trip."
"Travel? Haha, Guixin, where are the things? I want to see them first. If you fool me, you will be dead."
"Let's go over there and take a look."
We found a place with relatively few people and sat down on a bench.
I took out a wad of toilet paper from my pocket, opened it, and handed it to her.
"Yongle? Made of Yongle Tongbao Iron?"
"That's not right, this money... the facial expressions, ground insignia, back cover, and system all don't look like the style of the Ming Dynasty."
Meimei was very serious. She held it in her hand and looked at it over and over for several minutes.
Unexpectedly, the next second, she suddenly put the iron money in her pocket.
"Alas! What are you doing! I haven't said to sell it yet, even if I sell it, the price hasn't been negotiated yet!" I said.
Meimei clutched her trouser pocket tightly and said with a smile: "No matter what, this is already mine."
"You are robbing me! I just want you to take a look and give it back to me!"
"No way! It's in my pocket and it can't come out again!"
Her behavior is called "covering up goods". In the past, veteran gamers liked to do this, especially when it came to antique coins. When they saw something good, they would put it in their pockets first. The key is not to put it in.
After taking it out, the owner will not leave unless he sells it.
If the owner of the goods also insists on not selling, then the two sides will start a tug-of-war, just like an eagle, to see which one can't withstand it first.
After all, she is a woman, so I can't force her down, right?
So I said, "We are old friends. This time you traveled more than a thousand miles with just one phone call from me, which shows that you trust me. I won't ask you for more, 700,000."
"No problem, no counter-offer." Meimei's eyes were filled with laughter.
"What are you going to do with it when you take it back, resell it at a higher price?" I asked.
"Not for sale! Go to Tibet!" she said excitedly.
I nodded: "This is the only complete piece of money that has been found in the world, and it is not found in any major museum. In order not to cause trouble, it is best not to show up for five to ten years."
"No problem, I agreed. Thank you Xiang Yunfeng. I want to kiss you."
"Come then, let's kiss here."
"Oh, aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will see you?"
"What are you afraid of? Ours is a kiss of friendship, just keep it secret."
"How dare you? Then I'm serious about it."
She smiled when she spoke and her eyes showed seriousness.
"Forget it! I'm kidding you! Where is the pulse machine I want?"
"I knew you would say that, I brought it, follow me."
Meimei led me to open the trunk of the car. She unzipped the big bag and pointed it at me.
