This author has traveled through time and space in a book!

Zhou Ran squatted by the lake and opened the ebony box. Although this is a tourist attraction, few people come to the lake.

Locals have been warned since childhood not to get close to the lake because there are monsters at the bottom of the lake!

Otherwise, why would a Taoist temple sink to the bottom of the lake? It was just to suppress the big monster!

Although the story was true and false, for this reason, very few people approached the lake, so no one disturbed Zhou Ran when he was unboxing.

"What an exquisite gold bracelet!" The first piece of jewelry Zhou Ran saw was an intricately crafted hollow filigree carved gold bracelet, embellished with several red and blue sapphires.

"Yeah, I think this one looks good too. Look at the one below, it's also made of gold." The clam spirit was very happy that someone agreed with its aesthetic taste and urged Zhou Ran to look at the next one.

"Wow, a gold filigree bracelet inlaid with kingfisher feathers and beads. This must be a national treasure!" Zhou Ran exclaimed in admiration. If she remembered correctly, she had seen similar bracelets in the videos of intangible cultural heritage up-loaders in her previous life. Not to mention antiques, even modern craftsmanship would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each.

"It looks good, doesn't it? Try it on. Jewelry only has value when you wear it." The clam spirit said happily.

Hmm... doesn't it have value if it's placed in a museum?

Zhou Ran didn't let his temper get the better of him. He carefully put the bracelet into the ebony box and said, "Auntie, this is too valuable."

"What's the big deal? I have plenty of these things!" The clam spirit didn't care and said, "Why, do you think these things are old? Then why don't you go and make a few more?"

Just as he finished speaking, another wooden box was pushed ashore. Because the things inside were too heavy and the box was rotten due to its age, a big crack had appeared on it, and there was a golden glow, it was gold.

How come they keep giving more and more? According to Zhou Ran's estimation, the box of gold must have weighed eighty or ninety kilograms.

"Auntie, that's enough." Zhou Ran was worried that he would commit a crime if he didn't stop.

Well...theoretically, these buried objects should be handed over to the state.

But the owner is a monster, not an ownerless object, so...

Can she accept it?

"How can these little things compare to the pills you gave me? Just take them!" The clam spirit was very generous, mainly because it had a lot of these things.

"Eh? Do you like that pill?" Zhou Ran finally grasped the key point. So it was for the Soul-Feeding Pill. It seemed that it really suited the monster's appetite.

Food that everyone can eat to strengthen qi and blood!

"I like it! It must have used a lot of precious medicinal herbs, right?"

"Well... I'll give you another bottle!" Zhou Ran thought about the materials for refining this batch of Soul-Feeding Pills. They came from the world of cultivating immortals, and it might be difficult to find the end of them in this world, so she might have to use less of them. It wasn't that she was stingy!

"You kid, really! Auntie loves you so much." The clam spirit felt embarrassed, but it really needed the Soul-Feeding Pill, so it did not refuse.

Okay, the clam monster has gone far away, leaving Zhou Ran looking at the two boxes on the shore.

Theoretically, the density of gold is around 19.3, so 100 jin of gold, which is 50 kilograms, is about 2591 cubic centimeters, um, a 2.5-liter bottle of Coke?

This wooden box is more than that!

Zhou Ran tried to pick up the wooden box. It was quite heavy, probably more than 100 pounds. But with her current physical condition, she could definitely move it.

Even if the ancient purification technology was not so advanced, how many pieces of jewelry could be made from more than 100 kilograms of gold? How could one open a gold shop?

She held a wooden box in each hand, and as she walked, the contents were emptied. When she returned to the B&B, the boxes were gone.

This thing is hard to say whether it is easy to collect or not.

After returning to his room, Zhou Ran took out a gold ingot with 50 taels written on it. In ancient times, 50 taels was about 1550 grams.

"Clap!"

A cluster of flames appeared in Zhou Ran's palm and began to burn the gold ingot.

Looking at the black smoke, there are still impurities, but not many.

Zhou Ran observed her spiritual fire again. The melting point of gold is 1064.43 degrees Celsius, so her spiritual fire is at least not lower than this temperature.

Looking at the gold that had melted into a ball and was wrapped in spiritual fire, Zhou Ran wondered what shape it should be made into.

Let's divide it into several equal parts first! There are no measuring tools at hand, but Zhou Ran knows the art of dividing the gold into several equal parts.

So, a few minutes later, Zhou Ran had more than a dozen "finger biscuits".

Jewelry? She doesn't have that ability.

"Zhou Ran! It's time for dinner!" Ms. Zhou had already knocked on Zhou Ran's door.

"I sleep until the sun is high in the sky, go out right after breakfast, and lock myself in my room when I come back. I have to be called to eat..."

Zhou Ran pouted. It turned out that he had been at home for too long and was already disliked. Alas!

"Mom! This is for you!" Zhou Ran handed a piece of gold in the shape of a "finger biscuit" to Ms. Zhou.

"What is it? Oh my! Gold?" Ms. Zhou took it and found it very heavy in her hand. She was immediately surprised.

No one doesn't like gold, especially middle-aged women.

"Daughters are so good. Is this really given to me?" Ms. Zhou smiled happily. The family is not short of money now, but the feeling of holding real money in one's hands is different.

"Yes, why don't you find a gold shop to make some jewelry for yourself, such as a gold bracelet or a gold ring?" The finished jewelry given by the clam spirit aunt was too gorgeous.

The little old lady in her family can't hold it.

"Okay! Let your father pay me for the work!" Ms. Zhou was already thinking about what style to make.

"What are you talking about me?" Old Zhou, who had just come out from the starting point, frowned.

"Speaking ill of you!" Ms. Zhou said bluntly.

"Ah?" Old Zhou thought, what happened to him again?

Zhou Ran gave his father a look that said "May the best of you" and happily went to the kitchen to get some food.

The decoration of this homestay is very thoughtful, and all kitchen tools and seasonings are available.

Otherwise she wouldn't be able to make hot and sour lemon clams.

After serving the food for grandpa and grandparents, the family of four watched the other two quarreling.

It’s not really noisy, it’s just a change of pace in the dull life.

Lao Zhou’s fault was not that he did something wrong, but that he did nothing wrong. How long has it been since he bought jewelry for his wife?

The labor fee is easy to deal with, but Lao Zhou just feels a little... aggrieved that his daughter had stabbed him in the back.

"Your mother has gold bars, but your father doesn't?" Jealous!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ran searched his body left and right, and finally took out an ebony bracelet. The beads were made from the box that held the gold. In order not to waste any of them, there was a gold bead of the same size dotted in the middle, which was not light in weight.

"Here, it's yours!" Zhou Ran handed over the bracelet and said, "I've prepared it a long time ago. I was planning to give it to you after dinner."

"And there are grandpa's, grandpa's, grandma's..."

Before Old Zhou could feel moved, he discovered that his father-in-law and father each had a string of the same ebony, and his mother had a gilded silver bracelet on her hand, which looked simple and elegant.

It was a relatively simple piece of jewelry given by the clam spirit, and Zhou Ran thought it was very suitable for the old lady.

"Why are you buying so many old things again!" The old lady muttered, but she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth and said, "Don't buy them next time. I can't wear all the things you gave me."
