Chapter 57: The Brightness of That Box

"Brother, where did you go just now? My uncle almost drove a boat to find it.∈◆"

Cai Hongsheng asked Cai Hongming while grilling things on the barbecue grill.

"Go to find something to eat, otherwise why can you do it?"

Cai Hongming grabbed some oysters, nine-section shrimp and other things in the sea and put them in the net bag to prepare for barbecue at noon so that people would not be seen empty-handed when they came back.

The charcoal fire in the oven was red, and the nine-section shrimps, oysters and red croquettes on the rack were slowly roasted, and the aroma was wafted out. After it was cooked, dipped in the sauce and a primitive delicious taste penetrated the tongue buds. Unfortunately, there was no wine, and if there was wine, the taste would definitely be even more delicious.

The pink manta ray also climbed onto the beach and lay on the edge of the barbecue grill watching Cai Hongming and Cai Hongsheng bake things.

After seeing Cai Hongming eating, the guy screamed anxiously. Cai Hongming glanced at it, picked a few big prawns dipped in sauce for it to eat. The pink manta ray opened his mouth and swallowed it in one mouthful, which was obviously not enough to fill his stomach, so he started screaming again.

Cai Hongming fed some more and stopped caring about it. This guy was so big that he wouldn't be full no matter how much he ate.

Seeing that he no longer feeds himself, the pink manta ray can only lie on the beach and look at him. Cai Hongming couldn't bear the aggrieved and innocent look.

Several girls who came to play on the island watched for a while and found that the pink manta ray was harmless, they came over to ask Cai Hongming if they could take a photo with the pink manta ray. Cai Hongming didn't care, but the pink manta ray didn't like it, and he turned his head proudly and went into the sea.

After playing on the island all day, it was almost dark that a group of people returned on a yacht.

After returning home, after dinner, while my mother took her wife out to visit relatives, Cai Hongming secretly entered the Cave Heaven and Blessings in the Jade Ding.

After absorbing the jade toad liquid transformed from the jade tripod, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land became larger again and again. Now it is a hundred meters in radius. It is full of things. As soon as you enter, you can smell the fragrance of plants and trees. After Pan Haimin returned home, he followed Cai Hongming's instructions and brought a bunch of living medicinal materials and seeds from his home. What is rare is that there are actually a few wild ginseng trees inside. Although they are not old, they are much better than ordinary garden seeds. Among them, there is a pack of wild ginseng seeds, which are all in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

These herbs, coupled with what Cai Hongming usually collects, fill the entire cave world with blessed land, without any spare space.

However, the little fat worm is blessed.

Since planting herbs, the little guy's food has not been limited to Ganoderma lucidum and tea leaves. He began to eat the leaves and tubers of the herbs, so the insect tea pulled out all had a herbal smell. Cai Hongming didn't know what the new things were useful, so he collected them and wanted to wait for time to find someone to study them so that he would not have any problems with them.

The twenty boxes caught from the sea were neatly placed in the corner of the cave world.

Cai Hongming didn't look closely at the bottom of the sea, but only then did he find that the box was covered with a layer of iron sheet. After being on the bottom of the sea for a long time, the iron sheets were rusty, and they looked like a box made of wood. There was a lock on the box, but it was rusted. Cai Hongming went to find an iron hammer and knocked it open.

When he opened the box, he suddenly realized that there was a box full of copper coins inside, but they were all rusted.

Perhaps because of the fear that the moisture on the sea would have stained the box, the owner of the box spent some time preventing moisture. Not only did the outside of the box be wrapped in iron, but it was also covered with a layer of oil paper, and finally it was covered with moisture-absorbing dry cloth in the box. But even so, it still failed to prevent the copper coins from rusting. After all, it was on the seabed for a long time. Even if the sea water could not enter, the box would still be penetrated by the cold air outside.

After opening several boxes in a row, they were filled with copper coins, Cai Hongming felt disgusted.

But when I think about it, I feel good. Because the copper coins in the box are only corroded by the part of the box, the one in the middle is fine. If you clean up, you should be able to rescue some of them, and it is worth a little. You should know that some of the copper coins in the Song Dynasty were still very valuable.

Then he opened another box.

Suddenly, a white light appeared in front of him. When he looked closely, there were boxes of silver. Cai Hongming couldn't help but be happy. With this box, he had gained the hard work under the water.

Silver collars were common currency in the old days. Because they were shaped like pig's waist, they were also called "pig's waist silver". Common shapes include round-headed waist, flat-headed waist and arc-headed waist. Yuan, similar silver blocks after the Ming Dynasty, were called silver ingots and ingots.

Cai Hongming picked up a piece of silver tin. Because it was too old and too long, the surface of the silver tin was no longer shining and looked dull. He looked at it and found that there was no handwriting on the silver tin.

Generally, silver tins like this will indicate the source, and some will indicate the date, but the silver tins do not. It is obviously privately minted silver, which means privately minted. It seems that the owner of this box is not only rich, but also a bold person. You should know that in the old days, privately minted coins were to behead their heads. However, these people who were floating on the sea probably didn’t take the government seriously, because they made a living at sea, and they were originally a matter of putting their heads on their belts.

After looking through it, he found that there were eight boxes of silver tines, six boxes of gold tines. The other boxes were rhinoceros horns, tortoiseshell, ivory, pearls, glass, agate, etc., which were rare and precious items at that time.

Seeing these things, Cai Hongming's eyes were lit.

He couldn't help but feel unhappy. He could do it with a little calculation. The price of silver is more than three yuan and two cents. There are so many silver stakes, and a box of silver stakes is at least more than two hundred kilograms. At the current exchange rate, these silver can bring him millions of income. It's really a horse without night grass, and even the gods can't stop it when luck comes.

With so much money, he can go to Xijiang to vigorously cultivate roses, and the plan to open a store in Jiangnan can be advanced, but these things are a little troublesome to deal with, and it seems that he has to find an acquaintance.

After taking a look, Cai Hongming came out of the Cave Heaven and Blessings inside the Jade Cauldron.

When he returned to the room, his mother's scream came from outside. He hurriedly ran out and thought to himself that it was okay, otherwise it would be bad if his mother and wife discovered it.

In the following days, if he either accompanied his wife to visit relatives with his parents, or drank and chatted with his friends, or would go to the mountain to dig some herbs into the cave world in the jade tripod, and he would live a happy life. However, there was still a lot of things in the farm in Xidu Shengjing, and spring came, and Xijiang would start to cultivate the land and grow roses, so he had no time to have time to free up. So after a few days of playing, Cai Hongming decided to go back first with his wife, while his parents would go back later.
