Chapter 225 The Cultural Relics Bureau Comes

Li Youqian's bronze sword looks intact and is also inlaid with an jadeite, which greatly increases its value. However, the only regret is that it is strictly forbidden to trade bronzes in China. It is too difficult for Li Youqian to cash it in, and it is even impossible.

Lin Muran stretched out her jade hand and gently stroked the bronze sword. Under the mottled copper rust, she seemed to be able to feel the sharpness of the bronze sword once revealed.

"I have money. When you get this bronze sword, did anyone else see it?" Lin Muran said seriously.

"Several villagers from the same village saw it, what's wrong?" Li Youqian asked in confusion.

"Oh, then I guess you can't keep your bronze sword. As long as this matter is exposed, even if you want to collect it privately, the cultural relics will never be allowed. They are likely to come to your house to confiscate it forcibly. Of course, you can choose to take the initiative to hand over it, so that you may get some rewards." Lin Muran sighed lightly and said regretfully.

It is different from abroad, so although this bronze sword is likely to be worth millions, in China, you can't even exchange it for a penny. If you dare to sell it, even if it violates the law, it is very likely that you will be invited to the bureau for tea.

"No, why did I watch TV before? There were bronzes auctions?" Li Youqian asked in confusion. He seemed to have been poured with a basin of cold water suddenly, and all his enthusiasm was extinguished.

"That was auctioned by the state, but such bronzes occupy a very small proportion. Our country has explicit regulations that all cultural relics left in the underground, internal waters and territorial waters belong to the state. If you find cultural relics to be reported or handed over in a timely manner to protect the cultural relics, the state will appropriately give you some spiritual encouragement or material rewards. If you find cultural relics hidden and not reported and submitted to the state, you may face fines and warnings and hold you accountable for other responsibilities." Lin Muran said with a solemn expression.

People in the upper class like them often participate in auctions of collectibles, so they naturally know what the red line is that cannot be touched, otherwise they will be troubled by many troubles.

"There are such regulations? Then can't my bronze sword be with me?" Li Youqian looked unwilling, but he believed that Lin Muran would not lie to him.

"Follow, take the initiative to hand over, so that at least you can gain a good reputation." Lin Muran could understand Li Youqian's mood at this moment, but she could not do anything about this matter. She could not violate the law for a few million bronze swords.

"Then I should be fine if I deduct the jade inlaid on it? No one knows it anyway. If someone really asks me, I will ask him a question or not." Li Youqian thought so, and really took out the scissors and then deducted the jade.

"You take this first, I'll clean up this sword." Li Youqian handed the jadeite to Lin Muran, then ran to the pool of Lin Muran's house with the bronze sword and began to clean the copper rust on it. After a while, all the copper rust on the bronze sword was wiped off by him, and the whole sword was completely renewed.

Li Youqian held the hilt of the sword and felt a kind of heroic volley. In front of him, the scene of soldiers holding this sword fighting bravely on the battlefield and fighting bloody battles.

"Good sword!" Li Youqian couldn't help but exclaim. After hundreds of years of erosion, this sword still remains sharp enough, which is really valuable. Li Youqian feels that it should be more than enough to use this sword to cut vegetables.

"Let me try it too." Lin Muran also became interested and reached out to take the bronze sword from Li Youqian's hand. Her arm also sank slightly. The whole sword was probably more than one pound or two pounds. Lin Muran's slender hand was quite laborious to dance.

"Forget it, I'd better give it to you. I can't move this thing." Lin Muran played with it for a few times, and then he helplessly returned the sword to Li Youqian because of the self-respecting of the bronze sword.

"Youqian, let me see too." Li Yuhe walked to Li Youqian and said eagerly.

"Be careful, don't be consumed by the sword blade." Li Youqian reminded him and handed the bronze sword to Li Yuhe.

Li Yuhe did not show off her strength, but carefully took the bronze sword with both hands, and then held it in her hand and observed it carefully.

Li Yuhe was relatively delicate and couldn't help but find that on the body of the bronze sword, there were many patterns that she could not immediately be carved, especially when it was close to the hilt of the sword, there were also words engraved, but Li Yuhe didn't know, "You Qian, Xiao Ran, what words do you think are these?"

Hearing what Li Yuhe said, the two hurriedly came up, but because they had no research on ancient characters, they didn't see it either.

"I guess this requires finding a real cultural relics expert. If someone has research on this aspect, we can read it like reading the heavenly book." Lin Muran shook her head and gave up on continuing the useless guess.

"No matter what it is, it will have to be handed over at that time." Li Youqian said with a sour feeling.

"By the way, if you have money, don't you want to run a farmhouse? I feel that this time is an opportunity for free publicity. Let's call those news organizations to let them report on the unearth of ancient relics and talk about your farmhouse. The effect will definitely be better than if you spend money on advertising." With their keen insight into business opportunities, Lin Muran knew that this was definitely a great opportunity.

After hearing Lin Muran’s suggestion, Li Youqian’s eyes lit up, and a good idea suddenly popped up in his mind, “When the media reporter interviewed, I can take the opportunity to tell us about the fact that we are descendants of the Breaking King. With this gimmick, we will definitely attract attention.”

The legend of the surname Li from Xingfuzhai Village has been around for a long time. Although Li Youqian feels that it is very likely that someone made it up, the legend of Xingfuzhai has a long history. He is not afraid that the so-called experts will stand up and refute him, because the more the trouble it is, the greater the reputation of their Xingfuzhai will increase.

"Yes, take the opportunity to hype it up, at least it will make the entire Nanyang City know that there is a Happy Village here. People nowadays are much more interested in gossip than those of current affairs and politics." Lin Muran agreed with Li Youqian's statement. After she returned, she could even help Li Youqian plan it well.

Li Yuhe learns accounting and knows more or less some business matters. Although the biggest beneficiary of hyping Xingfu Village will be Li Youqian, other villagers of Xingfu Village will inevitably benefit from it.

The few people were chatting hotly, and it was already noon before they knew it. Then Li Yuhe cooked and started cooking. She fried five dishes and a tomato and egg soup. Although it was not a delicacy, it was already very rich for rural people.

The meal was just ready, and Li Yuhe was about to call Li Defa and ask him when he would come back to have dinner. Li Defa happened to be back.

"Defabo, are you all done there?" Li Youqian asked.

"Well, Mrs. Wang said, let the sun be exposed for noon, and we can dig it in the afternoon." Li De replied. He worked hard all morning for such a thing, and he was also dry-mouthed. He picked up the cold rice soup on the table and started drinking it in big mouths.

"Dad, wash your hands and eat." Li Yuhe sent Li Defa a basin of cold water and handed it to him.

Li Defa washed his hands, then found a seat to sit down, and started having dinner with Li Yuhe and the others.

"Yuhe, your skills are just right." Lin Muran praised her with delicious food.

"It's average, mainly because the vegetables grown at home are good." Li Yuhe said modestly. She found that the dishes she made seemed to be more delicious last night, but Li Yuhe knew that this was definitely not because her skills improved, because after she went to work in the city, she almost never cooked again. Even if she was not unfamiliar with her skills, she had no possibility of improving at all.

Later, after some thought, Li Yuhe understood that it is very likely that the vegetables grown at Li Youqian's home are of high quality, because Li Youqian's vegetable is not a green pollution-free vegetable, but is much better than the ones grown at their home.

So this morning, Li Yuhe made a comparison with the cucumbers grown by her home and the cucumbers grown by Li Youqian. The result was obvious that the cucumbers grown by Li Youqian were completely better, as if the vegetables grown by Li Youqian had a strange fragrance, which made people feel endless aftertaste. They always remembered this feeling in their hearts.

"You bought vegetables from Youqian's family too? The vegetables he grows are really good. Since our hotel used his dishes, the business has been very popular now, and the customer returns rate is extremely high." When Lin Muran heard that Li Yuhe's dish was made by Li Youqian's family, he suddenly realized.

Even the picky foodies that Li Youqian can’t find any problem.

"My food is only one aspect, but the most important thing is Yuhe's good craftsmanship." Li Youqian smiled and praised.

Li Yuhe was also very happy when she heard Li Youqian’s praise, but she did not mark it, “Hurry up and have a meal.”

"Good." Li Youqian responded, knowing that he must be right. Girls always need to praise them.

"Dingling..." At this moment, the phone number sent by Li De suddenly rang. He had no choice but to put down his bowl and chopsticks and answer the phone first. However, soon, Li Youqian discovered that his face had changed slightly.

"Defa Bo, what's going on?" Li Youqian couldn't help asking curiously.

"I don't know who revealed the news that an ancient tomb appeared in our village. Then a group of people came from the city. The Cultural Relics Bureau showed that it has arrived at the entrance of the village and is digging there." Li Defa said to Li Youqian, "No, we have to go over and take a look. This is something from our village, so we can't let others dig it casually."
