Chapter 27 Songzhu Town
The tricycles on the asphalt road from Dongta Town to Songzhu Town moved forward quickly. The withered yellow trees on both sides of the road retreated one after another, and the pine trees and bamboo on the hillside on both sides gradually increased. The driver wearing a helmet calculated carefully. He made 100 yuan this morning. The excitement in his heart could not be concealed, and he didn't care about the car. Whether Nie Pan in the shed could hear it or not, he shouted excitedly, "Hey... It will be in Songzhu Town in 15 minutes. Don't worry..."
The little dragon girl sat leisurely in the car and looked at the fresh world outside. She looked casual and elegant. Everything in the world was full of freshness for her, so she wouldn't be in a hurry!
At this time, a car behind the tricycle roared over. The little dragon girl was surprised. She shook Nie Pan's arm in surprise and asked, "Mr. Nie, look, what kind of monster is this that just passed? It's like steel, and the speed is so amazing. I'm afraid that I may not be able to catch up with it with light kung fu..."
As Nie Pan took out a bowl from his bag to prepare for research, he explained to the little dragon girl, "This is the four-wheeled car I told you about. It's still a slow run. In the future, you won't know what fast is after you see the train, the EMU and the plane. Let's study it slowly in the future."
The little dragon girl nodded in surprise, stared at the "steel armor chariot" that crossed from time to time outside the window, and studied why it ran so fast? An incredible look.
Seeing that the little dragon girl had no problem, Nie Pan lowered his head and focused on studying the "bowl from the Song Dynasty". He didn't hear what the master of the motorcycle shouted, but intuitively felt that the master of the motorcycle should shout "I'm about to arrive in Songzhu Town".
What is held in Nie Pan's hand is a "bowl" that is similar to the size of the bowl of this era. Except for the retro color, there is not much difference. However, Nie Pan's father is an archaeologist. Nie Pan also knows more or less about cultural relics. What's more, this is a little dragon girl carrying it. This is undoubtedly a "bowl" from the Song Dynasty. It is true that there is no false ingredients. Looking at this pattern and porcelain, Nie Pan feels that it should belong to ordinary people in the Song Dynasty. In any case, it is at least 800 years ago, and the price in the current cultural relic market can reach at least five digits.
"Why don't you sell it and save the emergency first?"
On second thought, Nie Pan felt that it was not appropriate. In any case, this was brought by the little dragon girl. It should be quite a memorable item for her. How could she sell it casually? This matter is not workable unless you have to. At worst, you should also get the pawn in the pawnshop. When you have money, you can redeem it and return it to the little dragon girl. I just don't know if the pawn shopkeeper knows the goods?
"Longer, how many taels of silver is this bowl worth in your Song Dynasty?"
The little dragon girl almost laughed when she heard this. Although she has always lived in the ancient tomb and has never gone out to buy anything, his diet and living have always been taken care of by Grandma Sun and Yang Guo. However, the little dragon girl also knows that a taels of silver can be exchanged for 1,000 yuan, and a penny can buy a steamed bun, and the value of this bowl is four steamed buns. The value of the head is just four cents, and a few taels of silver are not used.
The little dragon girl squeezed her lips and said, "I thought Mr. Nie knew everything, hehe... It turns out that you don't know anything about our Song Dynasty? This bowl is only worth four cents. One or two taels of silver can buy back a bowl like a basket.
"Oh, hehe, that's good! If the value of this bowl in this world can be worth ten taels of silver or even dozens of taels, I don't know if Longer is willing to sell it for emergency? Nie Pan asked tentatively. Although he is not going to sell this empty bowl at present, it is also necessary to figure out the meaning of the little dragon girl first.
The little dragon girl flashed her eyes and discussed the value of this bowl with Nie Pan with a happy face: "If someone sells so much money, of course I will sell it. Wouldn't I become a fool if I don't sell it? Although I have always lived in the ancient tomb, I am not a fool. Sometimes the honey I brew will be given to Grandma Sun to sell it at the market at the foot of the mountain and then exchange it for firewood, rice, oil and salt, so I still know a little about business. Mr. Nie, don't treat Long'er as a three-year-old child, just in this world. Who would be so stupid? I'm willing to pay ten taels of silver, or even dozens of taels to buy such an ordinary bowl.
Nie Pan pretended to be mysterious and said, "The mountain people have their own tricks. As long as you are willing to do it, I will be relieved if you say so. When we have run out of money and meet the right buyer, I will sell this bowl or treat it as a travel fee."
At this time, the tricycle stopped, and then the door of the shed was pulled open. The driver of the motorcycle warmed his cold hand and said, "Young man, Songzhu Town has arrived. We went smoothly all the way. It only took 40 minutes. If you wait for the car in the town, you probably won't be able to come to Songzhu in another half an hour."
Nie Pan saw that the driver in a military coat's frozen face was a little purple, and he felt pity in his heart. In addition, there was this "bowl from the Song Dynasty" in his backpack. At the bottom of the box, he had courage in his heart. No matter how much as Nie Pan knew little about ancient cultural relics, he estimated that this porcelain bowl 800 years ago would be the least sold. Needless to say, the nature of the second ancestor suddenly appeared again. He pulled out a hundred-yuan bill from his wallet and handed it to the driver, "It's so cold. I'm really sorry to bother you. Take this money to drink a bowl of wine to warm your body. You don't need to look for it."
The driver of the motorcycle was flattered and thanked him for his kindness. He said to himself, "I really met the second ancestor today. It seems that he is a master who spends money like water. Maybe it's not necessarily pretending to be generous in front of the little girl." But in any case, it was a happy advantage for him this morning. He pretended to find change for Nie Pan, Nie Pan. Resolutely refused, the driver of the motorcycle hurriedly said goodbye, for fear that Nie Pan would regret it. He quickly stepped on the motorcycle and started the battery. He went away and quickly disappeared into Nie Pan's sight.
Nie Pan looked at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock in the morning. He decided to find the tomb here according to the sign on the "suspicious tomb map" first. According to Nie's father's mark, the red tomb sign just fell on Songzhu Town, not in the village under the jurisdiction of the town. Nie Pan felt that this ancient tomb should be good. Look for it.
So the little dragon girl and Nie Pan walked around Songzhu Town side by side. They saw that this was a beautiful town. Although it was the cold winter, the town was still full of pines and cypresses, lush green, and tall bamboo all over the town, and there were basically no industrial enterprises in the town, so it also reduced the pollution to the atmosphere. The air in the sky is extremely fresh, which is a good place for sightseeing.
There is only one main street in Songzhu Town. There is a farmers' market on the street. In addition, there are sellers of electricity, furniture, department stores, as well as restaurants, hotels, etc. on both sides of the street. In addition, there are town government, town middle school, central primary school, and only a few handicraft enterprises in the township. At one end of the town street is a bridge. The water under the bridge has frozen. At the other end of the bridge, in addition to the living farmers, there are some dry wheat fields on both sides.
Nie Pan led the way in front of him, and the little dragon girl followed closely. The two walked from this end of the street in Songzhu Town to the other side. They almost walked around the town three times and walked for half an hour without any clue. They didn't find a place similar to an ancient tomb. At the other end of the bridge, there is a cemetery, but it is all the graves of ordinary people. The longest tombstone is only more than a hundred years old. There is a trace of the suspected tomb of the founding emperor of Xixia. In desperation, Nie Pan had no choice but to return to the town with the little dragon girl.
When he walked to the bridge, Nie Pan squatted down and took out the "suspicious tomb map" and looked at it again. He was sure that it was correct. What his father marked was indeed in Songzhu Town, but why didn't the two find any place like an ancient tomb?
Looking up at the watch, it was almost one o'clock at noon. Nie Pan had to give up his intention to continue looking for it. There are more than a hundred black and red tombs on the map, which are completely drawn by hand. Maybe it is not necessarily because his father was sloppy and clicked the wrong location, or the suspected tomb of Songzhu Town was under the jurisdiction of the town. It's not necessarily that a village is marked wrong by his father. It's really not a way to find it like this. Nie Pan knows that it has taken his father 20 years to investigate these suspected tombs. How much time do he have to look for it?
"It's already one o'clock. I think Long'er should be hungry. Forget it... Let's not look for it here. Let's find a restaurant to fill our stomach first."
The two walked back to the street side by side. They looked very neat and classy in the family, with the words "Songzhu Restaurant". They stopped in front of the restaurant with four or five cars parked in front of the door. Nie Pan decided to have lunch here. When he was in the car, he was shabby once, but he could no longer lead Long Meimei to the stall for lunch.
When she walked to the door, the little dragon girl stared at several cars curiously. For her, this kind of "steel armor chariot" was really strange. While watching, she asked Nie Pan, "Is this the fast car you said? I just don't know what they eat. They look beautiful.
"They eat RMB!"
Nie Pan answered angrily. He didn't go for the little dragon girl, but his contempt for the two world's top 500 shameless "Chinese food oil" and "Chinese truth". He is simply a robber. He only knows that he doesn't know how to rise, and he doesn't know how to fall. He shouts to connect with international standards every day. When foreign countries increase money, he can always catch up quickly. Foreign prices are reduced. I don't even fart here.
Nie Pan swore before, "One day, I must build a car that boils water." However, Nie Pan is afraid that water will also belong to state-owned resources at that time. At that time, it is not impossible for the price of water to rise to a few yuan a liter, so Nie Pan finally cancelled the idea of making "water-burning cars". I decided to leave it to the next generation to complete this great dream.
However, Nie Pan found that the car touched by the little dragon girl was really beautiful. This is a black Volvo S80, with a price of at least one million yuan. Unexpectedly, there would be such a luxury car in this remote town. It seems that China's reform and opening up It's really a success. There is no shortage of rich people everywhere in China, but there are more poor people.
"East AES668..."
Nie Pan read the license plate number of the Volvo car. After reading it, he was surprised to find that the car was actually the license plate of his hometown Donggang, and this number had a familiar feeling, and there was an inexplicable intimacy in his heart.
