Chapter 9 What, the bones have been dug up?

Time passed very quickly without realizing it.

Chen Han felt that it hadn't been long since he went down to explore the side, but he heard a series of shouts coming from above the exploration side.

"had lunch!"

"Everyone, let's take a rest!"

“Continue exploring after you finish your meal!”

Chen Han, who was busy digging, raised his head and looked at his watch, only to realize that it was already past 11:40, and the sun had unknowingly climbed above his head.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Chen Han temporarily put down the archaeological tools in his hands, touched the edge of the exploration square, and climbed up one step ahead of the others.

For Chen Han, there are only two things in life that interest him most.

Archeology and cooking!

People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don’t eat one meal, you will feel hungry!

Not to mention anything else, he is definitely the most active one when it comes to cooking!

When he rushed to the excavation site in the morning, he didn't forget to bring five big buns to eat on the way, not wanting to starve himself at all.

After patting the dust on his hands, Chen Han trotted to the temporary meal station set up next to construction site No. 1.

Several chefs hired from the village had already brought pots of cooked rice to the shed.

The chefs in the village all have a background in cooking banquets, so don't expect the dishes to be elaborate.

However, what was placed in front of Chen Han were five large iron pots with a diameter of more than one meter. Each pot had a dish, and it looked very tempting when it was steaming.

Seeing the nameplate of the Archaeological Institute hanging on Chen Han's chest, the chef wearing a white apron and a chef's hat immediately enthusiastically stuffed a large porcelain vat into Chen Han's arms.

"Big brother, you can eat whatever you want!"

Looking at the chef's simple smile, Chen Han took a deep breath of the aroma and pointed at several large pots.

“Braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, roasted chicken with pork ribs!”

Three tablespoons full of vegetables crashed into the porcelain jar in Chen Han's hand.

The chef brother also looked like he was afraid that he didn't give enough, and kept asking: "Is it enough? If not, how about another spoonful?"

"These archaeologists are all involved in cultural development. The secretary has told us that we must treat them well."

"And I heard from the secretary that the tombs you dug here are amazing. In the future, you can build an archaeological park or a museum!"

"By then, our Lajia Village will be able to make a lot of money."

"Yo!" Zhuang Yunpeng, who was following Chen Han and was also very enthusiastic about working, said in surprise: "Yes, you village party secretary knows a lot, you have a big pattern!"

For a large late Neolithic site like the Lajia site, after the preliminary excavation is completed, the local government will definitely not let go of this good opportunity for tourism.

If the city's finances are insufficient, the provincial finances will be used.

In any case, a series of cultural and creative work must be carried out around the Lajia ruins. The smaller one is a cultural and creative village, and the larger one is an archaeological park or museum.

As long as this thing can be completed, coupled with the publicity of new archaeological discoveries, it will bring abundant tourism income to Lajia Village for at least the next ten or twenty years!

It can indeed improve the local economic level of Lajia Village!

However, it is not easy for a village secretary to think of these things at once. He is very far-sighted.

Sure enough, the chef brother touched the back of his head and smiled honestly: "No, the village secretary is a college student village official who went to college in a big city."

"It's amazing. Since the secretary came to our Lajia Village, the life in the village has been getting better and better day by day."

It turns out he is a college student village official.

Chen Han nodded clearly.

Contemporary college students, let’s not talk about whether their professional abilities are good or not. They have seen a lot of the world, and they have absorbed all kinds of fragmented information that is full of information on the Internet. It is not surprising to think of this.

Carrying the large porcelain vat, Chen Han casually took a few large white steamed buns from the basket placed next to the cauldron, then turned around and walked to the makeshift table and chairs, where he started making kaka.

The staple food in Lajia Village is mainly wheat. It is not easy to find enough rice for a while.

So for the time being, we have to suffer the hardships of the southerners in the archaeological team. We have to follow the local customs and eat steamed buns instead of rice with crystal clear grains.

Chen Han is from the south and grew up eating rice.

However, as a big foodie, he doesn't refuse anyone who comes, and he eats rice and wheat to a great extent.

After a while, one after another, colleagues from the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences were seated near Chen Han.

Seeing his contagious eating style, everyone felt like they had a big appetite.

"It's good to be young. You can eat and sleep." Kong Wenjian, who had no appetite, felt that he was full just by watching Chen Han eat.

He picked up the thermos cup he brought with him, took a comfortable sip of tea, looked around at the archaeologists he had brought with him, and said leisurely: "How is it? Did you get any results after a morning of excavation?"

In fact, Kong Wenjian knew that the results would not come out so quickly at the beginning of the excavation. It was just a casual chat and a topic while eating.

But we don’t dare not take it seriously.

Kong Wenjian is the deputy director of the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences and the director of the Prehistoric Archeology Research Laboratory.

A serious industry leader!

The archaeologists present, who were either his students or the researchers under him, were all shocked.

Zhang Ting, the associate researcher in charge of the excavation of House No. 3, said quickly:

"Director Kong, we found a skeleton in Room F3, but the cleaning has not been completed yet. It will probably take a day or two."

Tian Desan, a veteran researcher sitting next to him and a professor in the Department of Archeology at Peking University, also smiled and said: "Old Chen, we have found a few traces of pottery in our F10 building, but we need to follow up.

for further exploration.”

"What's going on over there?"

Kong Wenjian shrugged: "No, it's just the beginning, and the soil hasn't even had time to be cleaned up yet."

"Xiao Zhuang, what's going on with you?"

Zhuang Yunpeng, who was asked the question, quickly put down the steamed bun in his hand and said honestly: "Teacher, we haven't found any important results in Room F4 yet."

"But just like Teacher Zhang, skeletons were also found in the F4 room, but only a small leg bone was exposed, and they won't be cleared out for a while."

Chen Han, who was engrossed in eating, suddenly raised his head and looked at his senior brother.

Skeletons found in the pit?!

I do not know how?

He quickly asked: "Brother, when were the bones discovered?"

Zhuang Yunpeng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I just discovered it, and before I even had time to tell you, your kid rushed over to do the cooking."

Oops, I found something!

Chen Han immediately sped up his eating speed, wolfed down everything in the bowl, picked up the porcelain vat and stood up with a bang.

"Brother, teacher, I'm going back to the construction site first, you guys eat slowly!"

Chen Han put down these words and ran towards Room F4 without looking back.

In the blink of an eye, the person will disappear.

Kong Wenjian stood up quickly and shouted at his back: "Xiao Chen! It's hot at noon. Let's rest for two hours. It's not too late to continue digging in the afternoon!"

Unfortunately, by the time he finished shouting, Chen Han had already run away.

Kong Wenjian shook his head and laughed, then sat back helplessly.
Chapter completed!
