" Sashimi " referred to sashimi, which was also known as Yukuai, kuai, or minced meat. The history of eating sashimi in China could be traced back to the pre-Qin period. It was said that during the reign of Emperor Yuan of Jin Dynasty, Dong Jing, a recluse in Beiping, met an immortal and ate sashimi. The sashimi of Japan was learned from China.
Unable to stop the host's enthusiasm, he braced himself and ate two pieces with his eyes closed, causing the host to laugh out loud.
They had no choice. They had never eaten sashimi before they were reborn. Old Wu and the others obviously knew that foreigners did not have this eating habit, so they did not force them.
As it was not easy to ride a bike when it was dark, he did not drink much. He was full before six o'clock.
He rode back to the city. Since the business deal had been settled, there was no need for Old Wu to accompany him tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll get the things for you to bring back to Sister Ping's house, then I'll get the house.
She had just returned to the guest house to take a shower and had yet to organize her gains when Old Wu came again with a movie ticket. The screening started at 7:30 pm, and it was said to be a benefit given to the staff in the guest house.
Qin Shi hadn't gone to a movie in the past six months since his rebirth. He didn't have the time to watch one. Besides, he had either watched the movies of this year or found them to be nothing special. This time, the 14-inch black and white TV in the room did not have any programs at all. It was better to go to the cinema.
The cinema wasn't far from the guest house. It was only a short walk, and it was ten minutes early. At first glance, there were many people gathered at the entrance of the cinema. At this moment, there was basically no entertainment for everyone at night. Movies were a rare pastime, and they had to queue up to buy tickets. Not to mention that it was Saturday, and it was even difficult to get a ticket.
Looking at the hand-drawn poster at the door, it was a good thing that it wasn't a slightly strange modern drama. It was actually a poster. Those who weren't interested at first became excited. Qin Shi, who was familiar with the history of the movie, knew about the movie's historical background. It was an adaptation of the movie, but he had never seen it before.
The 90-minute movie did not disappoint him. Qin Shi was immersed in a thick Tang aura throughout the entire movie. From the 1970s to the early 1990s, the few television dramas and movies that were filmed in China that depicted the Tang Empire were dozens of streets ahead of the latecomers in terms of respecting historical facts and acting skills!
"At least I don't have to vomit when I see Hengdian!”
After watching the movie, he returned to his room. Although he knew that the government guest house was safe, he still checked his luggage and items to make sure that there was no problem.
Without any sleepiness, he took out a belt tube with the smallest diameter and used a pair of small tweezers to carefully remove a few layers of red paper at the end of the tube core.
Why did Qin Shi buy these big clubs? This had to start from a custom-most people used round wooden sticks for the core of the tube, but some rich families would use copper coins to add "treasures" to their daughters before liberation!
Hundreds of copper coins were stacked in a row and tightly wrapped in a few layers of red paper to make the core of the tube. It was like the silver coins wrapped in red paper often seen in movies and television dramas, except that the diameter was much smaller and the package was thicker.
Moreover, because it was part of the dowry, it was important that everything was new. These copper coins were usually brand-new copper coins exchanged from the bank and would not be used to make up the amount. Ordinary copper coins were not worth much, but ordinary copper coins that had the luster of the original metal and had not been circulated were worth at least dozens of times more than those that had been circulated!
If it was originally a rare breed, then the brand new and uncirculated goods could even be auctioned off at a sky-high price!
Most of the primitive copper coins that had been passed down were taken out from the pockets of his pants. Otherwise, even if they were placed in a dry drawer, their surface would have been oxided after decades. Only by wrapping them up in such a dense manner could they resist the erosion of time. Even if the seals on both ends were broken, and there were one or two primitive lights on both sides that were not preserved well, the one in the middle would not be affected.
In the afternoon, Qin Shi had used his fingernails to scratch the core of the tube. From the feel of it, he could tell that the core was wrapped in copper.
The moment he opened the red paper, he was pleasantly surprised!
Originally, he felt that the diameter of the cylinder core of this club was a little small. The cylinder core was usually made of copper coins that were used to make money. Now, what was displayed in front of Zhang Nan was actually
"Two hundred coins for one silver coin for three years of Xuantong"!
This was a five-wen copper coin that was known as one of the "Ten Treasures". Back then, because of the fall of the Qing Dynasty, this type of copper coin was not mass-produced. It could even be called a sample coin!
Of course, this batch of copper coins eventually flowed into the circulation field. What was passed down was basically a circulating product. The good quality would be sold for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in 30 to 40 years!
And the one in his pocket was the Original Light! Yuan Guang! The diameter of this type of five-coin copper plate was slightly different from other types of five-coin copper plates. It was slightly larger. In addition, as dowry, it was generally emphasized that the entire core of the tube was of the same type. The entire core of the tube might be made of "Xuantong Dangzhi Coin Five-coin" copper plates!
He measured the length of the tube. There were at least 60 to 80 pieces inside. Although he knew that it was not a high price now, it would be a huge fortune in ten or twenty years.
Fortunately, there was already Yuan Qinghua Yuchi Gong's Painting Pot, or else Qin Shi would have been ecstatic.
He carefully pressed the layers of red paper back. When he went to the restaurant tomorrow to eat, he would find a few rice grains and glue them back.
Glue couldn't be used, as chemicals could damage it.
He checked the approximate diameter of all the cores again. Two of them could not be seen because the belt was too tight, and one of them was too small. The other three should be rolled with 10 copper coins.
She controlled her curiosity and didn't take off the red paper." Unless the time was right to make a move, or when he could get a special vacuum coin storage box, he would open it and save the joy of winning the lottery for then.
After thirty or forty years, there were many high-quality imitations of precious copper coins, but copper coins that were wrapped in old pants and had not been tampered with were authentic. This was the consensus of the antique world.
……
The next day, he slept until noon before getting up. He sold a few large towels and a large roll of tape at the department store.
He asked Wu Xun for a hard-shelled cardboard box of a suitable size and used a large towel to fill it up tightly. Then, he placed the precious porcelain jar inside and used other towels to stuff it up and down. The outside was wrapped tightly with tape, so there was no need to be afraid of a slight collision. Otherwise, if he brought it back, he would have nowhere to cry!
The next day, he called Sister Ping at the guest house to report to her. In this era, only the government had phones. After Sister Ping's complaints, Zhang Nan finally dragged his tired body back to Sister Ping's private house.
Sister Ping's house was a small two-story private house on the side of the Laocheng District. It had a small courtyard and was a single-family house. The owner of the house was himself. It took him five or six years to build it. Before Sister Ping's parents left, they had given this house to him for permanent use because of his contributions.
Because of Sister Ping and Brother Han, the unit had taken care of Qin Shi, who had just started his third year of high school, and had him take over his position, so he had to eat public rations. As for the graduation certificate, it wasn't a problem. He had received it in June this year, even though he didn't take any exams and hadn't gone to school for half a year.
This was Qin Shi's current situation, and it had been the same in both his previous and current lives.
Although he had not been at home for more than half a year, the house was still clean. Because she was often not at home for a long time, Sister Ping would come here less often. She would occasionally come to clean up and take care of them.
He spent more than half an hour packing his luggage and temporarily placed the precious porcelain jar in the bedside table in his room. As for the silver coins, he threw them into the drawer and stuffed the "big hammers" into a cotton bag into a cabinet for old clothes.
She packed a bunch of fresh longans and two pineapples in a net bag and went to Sister Ping's and Brother Han's house.
It was not far. It was only a 20-hour walk.
Qin Shi had arrived too early. Sister Ping and Brother Han weren't home, and there weren't many people in the courtyard. Qin Shi also had the key to Sister Ping's house. He opened the door, placed the net bag on the living room table, and left without waiting.
He didn't have many friends, and his relationship with them was average. The only ones he was close to were Sister Ping and Brother Han's family. However, he didn't like to stay here. It was probably because he was almost 50 years old and his mental age couldn't accept it. Every time, he would be nagged by a young man who was not even 20 years old.
As soon as he left the house, Qin Shi ran into the head of the department, who was also his direct superior.
"Oh, Little Qin, you're back. How's your recovery? Ting heard that you were discharged from the hospital and was looking for you.”
The person opposite him was smiling. He was quite popular in the office. However, Qin Shi didn't like this man. Other people might not know this man's background, but he knew: People change! Ten years later, the person who had been promoted took advantage of the wave of layoffs and turned a large number of collective assets into private assets. He even sold a lot of public land.
However, he still had to welcome her with a smile. He did not want to resign this time.
"Yes, Section Chief. I just came back a while ago."
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at the Shanghai brand watch on his arm.
"I came back at noon."
After saying that, he even handed a cigarette to the Section Chief, thinking to himself,
"I don't think it's anything good."
The Section Chief didn't ask how he got injured. The news had already spread throughout the courtyard.
"Bring the list to the department tomorrow. The leader said that he will reimburse you for your work injury.”
"Okay, I'll bring it over to work tomorrow.”
Sensing that the Section Chief still had something to say, Qin Shi was in no hurry to leave. As expected, he said,
"Little Zhang, I'm a few years older than you, so there's something I've always wanted to tell you. Young people should save more money if they were always with those local ruffians and hooligans.”
"Hehe, Section Chief, you also know that I'm a little extravagant when it comes to spending money. It's okay to rely on selling some things.
The Section Chief pointed at Qin Shi, not knowing whether to laugh or cry."
"You!"
The section chief knew very well that the group of salesmen in the sales department were smuggling goods. A few years ago, they had to write an inspection if they found out, but now they couldn't do anything even if they wanted to.
Qin Shi was smiling foolishly. He really did not lack money. Even his dearest Sister Ping did not know that he was really rich!
As he spoke, he saw the Section Chief scratching his hair. Seeing this, Qin Shi smiled bitterly and said,""Section Chief, tell me, are you short of manpower again?”
