Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

Geng Chunlai was not stingy. He ate in the state-owned restaurant until his mouth was full of oil, and he even brought meat buns back to Yuan Ni and Dr. Du.

Yuan Ni has been observing Geng Chunlai's words and deeds. It is illogical for a foreigner to stay in the local area as a temporary worker after failing to find relatives. He would do this unless all the people in Geng Chunlai's family died.

There is a type of people in the antique shop called land shovelers. These people don't have a store, so they go to the countryside to collect old antiques.

These people shoveling land are the most active and lowest-level antique dealers.

The places they went to were either poor or remote. Anyway, the locals were not very knowledgeable, like gold and jade.

The more you are in a place like this, the more good things you can receive at the lowest cost.

Yuan Ni suspected that Geng Chunlai was a land shoveler, and he was quite discerning.

Yuanni had a golden finger, so she was sure that the manger was a good thing.

But Geng Chunlai saw it with his eyesight, which was not easy.

Yuan Ni thought carefully about the countermeasures. What she was most afraid of now was that there was someone above Geng Chunlai.

If someone from above spoke up, it would be very simple to take away a manger.

No matter what, we have to act quickly...

Geng Chunlai also became cautious. In the following time, he never mentioned drinking from the manger, and just followed Dr. Du's work honestly.

In the afternoon, my fourth aunt and father came to the door holding a little lamb.

Yuanni secretly praised this grandfather. He knew this was a veterinary station and even borrowed a sheep to disguise himself. He was really dedicated.

In fact, people who can make gold and silver jewelry are not stupid to begin with. My fourth aunt and father are just timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

The two pretended not to know each other, and the fourth aunt and father only talked to Dr. Du. When they were about to leave, he took the opportunity to find water for the little lamb and squatted by the manger to observe.

Doctor Du and Geng Chunlai had no doubts at all.

Because every old farmer who comes to the veterinary station to see a doctor is like this. Before leaving, he takes some water for his animals to drink to avoid heat stroke on the road.

It was early to get off work today. Yuan Ni left early. Geng Chunlai quickly caught up with her, "Comrade Yuan Ni, which brigade are you from?"

"Red Flag Brigade, what's wrong?"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that we are still traveling together. I live in Nanhu Brigade, let's go together."

"That's not possible. What if someone sees me and misunderstands me?" Yuan Ni stopped seriously, "You go first."

"Ah, that's not the case, is it?"

Anyway, no matter what Geng Chunlai said, Yuanni just refused to go with him, so he had no choice but to leave.

Before going home, Yuan Ni turned a corner and went directly to the village where her fourth aunt and father lived.

The old man was at the entrance of the kiln. He was very happy to see Yuanni and enthusiastically let her into the house.

Yuanni is not here to visit relatives. The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

The fourth aunt and father understood, took Yuanni to the big tree in front of the house, and talked to her.

"Nier, do you want to make a manger? Do you know what that is?"

"can not tell."

"That's a bronze tripod. If you want to imitate this thing, the amount of work is not small. Let's not mention the mold. The materials require red copper, lead ingots and tin blocks.

These things alone will be enough for you to look for for a while. "My fourth aunt is an expert and pointed out the difficulty of copying as soon as she opened her mouth.

"That's a bronze tripod?" Yuanni was shocked.

"Yeah, I can't tell if it's true or not, but the material and the look are definitely right." The fourth aunt's father said with certainty.

It’s no wonder that Yuan Ni didn’t recognize it. Before her rebirth, she had only studied archeology, but had not engaged in related work. She had a little knowledge of cultural relics from the Tang and Song Dynasties, but she knew very little about earlier ones, such as bronze tripods. .

If it is really a bronze tripod, it must be a national treasure with such a big body.

Yuanni had suspected it before, but due to lack of historical knowledge, she couldn't date it.

Fortunately, the fourth aunt's father was an expert and woke up Yuanni with just one sentence.

The bronze tripod is different from the gold plate. The former is a national treasure and should be handed over to the country.

The latter are ownerless treasures among the people. Whoever has the vision can pick them up and make a fortune.

Yuan Ni's first thought was to report it to the commune, but when she thought of Geng Chunlai, she gave up the idea.

Geng Chunlai had someone in the commune, and it would be terrible if he alerted the other party and made a preemptive strike.

what can we do about it?

"Nier, this is not a small item. Once you start making it, it will cost a lot. Think about it carefully and tell me after you think about it." Seeing Yuanni's hesitation, the fourth aunt's father thought she was giving up.

"If I prepare the materials, how long will it take to make it?"

"Five or six days. Everyone has been busy harvesting wheat these two days. There is no one at the entrance of the kiln, so you can concentrate on work."

"Okay, I'll think about it again, and if I do it, I'll send the materials and labor fees over."

The fourth aunt's father smiled brightly and said, "Okay, I will start work when you deliver the things."

On the way back, Yuanni thought a lot.

The most important thing is the ownership of the bronze tripod.

There is nothing wrong with people picking up leaks. However, the bronze tripod is a national treasure. She should not keep it as her own. This thing should be handed over.

The commune cannot be alarmed.

Who should I give it to?

Yuan Ni suddenly thought of Gu Chao. She could ask Gu Chao about this matter.

It would definitely be too late to run to the county seat, but the post office had a payphone so she could make a call.

She got up early the next day and went straight to the post office.

There are two telephones in the post office, one for long distance calls and the other for local lines.

"Want to make a phone call? Long-distance calls cost one yuan per minute, local calls cost two cents per minute." The staff glanced at Yuanni and quoted the price.

"The county furniture factory is considered local, right?"

"Forget it, you pay two yuan first, and we'll settle the bill after the phone call is made. Any excess will be refunded."

Yuanni took out the money, sat next to the local phone, and began to think about how to speak.

Just as she was thinking about it, another person came into the post office.

"Comrade, I'm calling."

"Local or long-distance? The long-distance is on the pillar side. There are already people here locally."

"I make long distance calls."

"Pay ten yuan first."

Coincidentally, the person who wanted to make a long-distance call turned out to be Geng Chunlai.

There is a big pillar between local and long-distance calls.

The local phone number was inside. Geng Chunlai didn't go inside, so he didn't see Yuanni.

When Yuan Ni heard that it was this person, she decided to wait before dialing. After all, what she wanted to say had something to do with Geng Chunlai.

Geng Chunlai was not a local. He never dreamed that there would be an acquaintance on the other side of the pillar. He picked up the phone and skillfully asked the switchboard to transfer him, "Please pick me up from room 301 of the Overseas Chinese Hotel..."

The call was quickly connected, and Geng Chunlai said impatiently, "Mr. Yamamoto, please give me a little more time. I'm sorry, the stuff hasn't arrived yet.

I assure you, it is definitely a good thing and worth the money. It is very old and was used for sacrifices during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

To tell you the truth, I have people locally who will definitely be able to get the items. You can just come and pick up the goods when the time comes..."

Hearing this, Yuan Ni's expression changed. Geng Chunlai actually wanted to sell the bronze tripod to Xiaori?
