The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Great harvest! Archeologically speaking, at least, Zhang Nan remembers that after the treasures "in the beginning" were dug out, in accordance with the British regulations on underground treasures, they rewarded the farmer with £1.25 million in cash. Bayi Middle School? Wenwang? W≈W≤W. 81ZW. COM

The owner of the farmer has lost money. If he finds the treasures after 1996, he will receive a cash prize far exceeding this number: according to the British Treasures Act in 1996, any other land found in the treasures Objects-no matter what material they are made of, they can be classified as "treasures".

Usually, these treasures will eventually be collected by the British Museum or local museums, as long as the museum buys them from the present and the landowner at the market price.

Market price!

But even if it loses, the current Eric Routh is still rich overnight.

Routh is an ordinary farmer in Hoxon. In November 1992, he planned to renovate his house and repair the garden by the way. For this reason, many of his good friends and neighbors came to help.

Good popularity.

More than ten days later, the renovation project of the house and garden was completed, but a friend told Rouss that his hammer was gone.

Routh was a good man and never wanted to take advantage of others, so he spent a whole day searching in the yard, but he still couldn't find his friend's hammer.

Because the soil was touched during the project, Routh thought that the hammer might have been accidentally buried in the garden while he was working, so he bought a metal detector and used high technology to continue searching in the yard.

A very interesting British honest man, a muscle, and it is this muscle that quickly made him a rich man: buying a new hammer for a friend is cheaper than buying a metal detector, right?

Besides, even if the detector is used, it is still a question of whether the hammer can be found.

Therefore, sometimes there are advantages to doing things.

At noon, the metal detector suddenly sounded. Routh thought that the thing under the ground was a friend's hammer, and started digging in the yard.

Digging deeper and deeper, the depth of the ground for the decoration garden has already passed, but Rolls with a rib continued to dig down, and after each detection, the metal detector's response was getting bigger and bigger.

When digging to a depth of almost 1.5 meters, Routh was stunned: what appeared before his eyes was a pile of ancient Roman gold and silver treasures!

The avenue of quantity makes him unforgettable for a lifetime!

Routh is a good man and an honest man, so he stopped digging and reported to the local cultural relics management committee what was happening in his yard.

The civilian management staff rushed to Routh's house immediately, and after a day's excavation, all the treasures were seen again.

On the third day after being discovered, the treasures were transported to the British National Museum, which is the "British Museum"-it is said that this is the most concentrated collection of ancient Roman coins in the history of the world, and it is also the most important cultural relic in the history of England. now.

At this time, the British law stipulated that the underground treasure must be sold to the museum, and only a certain percentage was given as a reward. As for the percentage, it was not said: the British Museum finally gave Routh £1.25 million.

The £1.25 million is incomparable to the century value of the treasure, but Routh is satisfied because he is a good and honest man.

This treasure is also a windfall for this small village called Hoxon. Many people flock to the village to hunt for treasure, and metal detectors have become the best-selling commodity.

The land is private, and treasure hunters need the permission of the landlord to detect it, and there will be income.

There are also tourists who come here, who will spend money in the small village. This ordinary English village, which was originally unknown, has become a small famous attraction, and even Zhang Nan in his previous life has visited it.

However, this situation will not happen again, because Zhang Nan is not a good person, let alone an honest person!

As for the good guy, Rolls, he lives at the entrance of the village. When Zhang Nan went to the trunk market yesterday, he also came across a few words: Rolls wanted to buy a new saw.

The money Zhang Nan gave to buy a house is enough for Laus to build two or three new homes, so Laus’s economic conditions are very good, and he was very polite when he met Zhang Nan, a rich man, and even invited Zhang Nan and others to his new home as a guest. .

Zhang Nan declined: This one digs the treasure under his old house, and the other one goes to the other party's house as a guest?

Forget it, Zhang Nan is not a good person, but he is not a bastard, so he still can't do nasty rascal things, otherwise he will be in a bad mood.

After finishing the arrangement here, Zhang Nan gave everyone a Honorius gold coin as a labor fee, even Jenny and Guan Xingquan.

Holding a golden coin in her hand, just like the gold coin that just left the factory yesterday, Jenny smiled and said, "Allen, this is the'seeing you have a share'?"

"My dear, what we did just now was robbing and digging, which is similar to tomb robbery. The rules are so auspicious."

"Oh."

Westerners are also superstitious. Just listen to auspiciousness. Use a set of small sealed bags and stuff them into your pockets.

Others have learned everything. The leather armor of the wallet and the pocket of the pocket, probably want to be "evil warding off" collections.

Nowadays, Honorius gold coins are available on the market. Although there are not many, putting one in a wallet will not cause others to be surprised. You are not afraid of wear and tear, which will hinder your appearance.

Digging the pit is troublesome, and this backfilling also takes a bit of effort, and because the backfill is empty soil, there is still a lot of topsoil.

Use the wheelbarrow in the garden to transport the soil to the corner and plant some flowers and plants to get it done.

Move everything into the fully enclosed basement, which is similar to the safe, and lock it. As soon as Zhang Nan looked at the time, he asked everyone to hurry up to wash up and go out for dinner later.

"Where to go?"

Jenny asked.

"There is a nice bistro not far from here. It's actually a restaurant. I ate it when I came last year. I was a little bit like the fish and chips."

Everyone fainted.

I have seen nonsense, but I have never seen such nonsense: Missing British fish and chips?

Unless the brain is pumped!

But what the boss says is what it means. A group of people get in and out. The bike takes 2o minutes and the car takes 5 minutes.

"It's very flavorful."

Upon arriving at the destination, Jenny fell in love with this bistro full of English country style at a glance.

"It's not bad, change the environment."

When he said that, he found a seat by himself, and the boss immediately came up to greet him.

For the sudden appearance of such a large group of people, the people in the tavern were a bit strange at first, but when you saw the eastern faces in the middle, you knew that it was the rich eastern man from Hoxon Village who was on vacation.

I haven't eaten fish and chips for a long time. The boss said that there are still good steaks today.

There are not many tables in the pub, there are already guests, and a dozen people can’t sit together.

Xia Milli, Liu Wendong, and Karimi sat near the door, and there was a small window to see the outside. And Zhang Nan and the others sat on the inside of the tavern against the wall—all of which were particular about it.

Control the entrance and exit, let the boss sit in a place where there is no threat from behind as much as possible.

I heard from the owner that the house in this tavern was built in the late 17th century. 3oo is coming the next year. The wall is so thick that it can be gnawed away with rockets!

There are all kinds of seasonings on the table, and when the food comes up, everyone can add more seasonings according to their habits. But Zhang Nan didn't take it from the table, and next did something that made Jenny and the others speechless.

From his pocket, he took out a small gilt silver figure bust. The head, eyes, mouth, collar and robe were gilded in gilt, which looked quite cartoon.

This is a hollow bust of an ancient Roman nobleman.

"Come on, let's try how the ancient Romans used pepper. This is not available to ordinary people, and only the top nobles have the treatment."

Jenny would really want to cover her eyes and tell everyone by the way: Who is this person, I am not familiar with him.

This small bust was dug out in the morning, and the shape is very cute. At first, no one except Zhang Nan knew what this thing was for.

Not only cute, but if it is placed in China in a few years, many young people will find him familiar if they see this gadget: he looks the same as the second generation of the rich second generation Wang, who was very famous and liked luxury cars at the time. Very similar.

It's still cartoonish and cute!

Zhang Nan told everyone in the morning that this is a pepper shaker, and then cleaned it by himself after he finished talking. Now even the bottom lid can be easily removed, and it is in a very good state of preservation.

The inside has been filled with soil, carefully washed with water, and the inside of the jar is thoroughly cleaned with a small brush.

Then he ran to the kitchen, threw the little things into boiling water and boiled for more than half an hour.

The jar is boiled in boiling water and then soaked in spirits. After the final water is rinsed, it is dried with a hair dryer inside and out, and then the pepper is poured in.

Try it upside down: Roman artisans are good at craftsmanship, and the pepper will pour out after a shake.

Itchy hands, it was rare to put it back, so I kicked it in my pocket with two large napkins.

Everyone was busy at that meeting. Who would pay attention to the boss and that gadget? I didn't think that the boss of this meeting would really use it for pepper and use it!

Pepper is on the table in the bistro. Fried and grilled foods taste good with pepper. In Western countries, almost all homes and restaurants have pepper.

However, this tavern table is equipped with pepper grinders: lazy people can buy processed pepper and salt and pepper powder on the market, but many people think that they are factory processed products, which may be mixed with other products. There are many miscellaneous things, so most Westerners prefer to use pepper grinders.

As a result, the people in the housekeeping company here don’t know whether it’s laziness or careful consideration for Eastern customers. The pepper prepared in the farm is packed in a grinder, and there are also finished peppers.

This would be sitting in the corner, and no one else knew what Zhang Nan would use to pour pepper; what if he saw it?

There are traditional British people who like to bring their own pepper cans when they go out. This is also considered a British feature.

Even if someone who knows how to find the pepper shaker in Zhang Nan's hand is an ancient Roman antique, they will only think that they are rich and the number ten is special.

The watches are all multi-million dollar antique Patek Philippe, and it is not surprising to use an ancient Roman pepper shaker.
