Chapter 95 A Copper Coin(1/2)
It was cloudy and there was no sun in the afternoon, and the mountains were gloomy.
I took care of Xiaoxuan and helped me wipe my face and mouth all the time. Suddenly, she fell asleep like Snow White.
Master Zhe chased him out in the middle of the night last night and has not come back yet.
Frown your head and brows, and tap your fingers rhythmically.
We could only call this phone outside, but couldn't answer it. After waiting for a long time, we tried dialing again with our heads, and the opposite side finally answered it.
"Professor Song, how are you?" asked.
I was very nervous and I was pricked up and listened.
The other end was silent for a few seconds, and then the old professor hesitated and said, "I looked up ancient books and asked all my friends I knew. I was not sure, but I think...you can try using copper coins."
"Copper coins?"
Surprised: "Copper coins? What kind of copper coins? How to use them?"
Professor Song's voice was old and hoarse, and he replied: "If you want to pass on the world, remember, you must be large in quantity! Use dozens of kilograms of copper coins to cook beans, then eat the beans and wash your face with boiled water."
"No... I can't say that I should wash my face. I have to press the whole face into the bean water and understand what I mean?"
I was confused when I listened, and I was not sure about what I was listening to.
"Professor Song, is this method useful?" He asked.
"I don't know if it's useful. An old friend who lives in Snake Island told me that you can try it as a folk remedy."
What the old professor is talking about is not the foreign snake island, but the snake island in Liaoning.
After chatting for a few more minutes, I asked for specific details, and hung up the phone.
Douyazai hesitated and asked: "Can you do this by putting your head? I don't know if I hear it, otherwise we will send Xiaoxuan to the hospital as soon as possible."
"It's useless to send it to the hospital."
I frowned and thought for a long time, and told me: "Yunfeng, go and cover the thief hole. The injuries we are now, the illnesses we are sick, and the team is not suitable for going down the pit."
"Take your head and do you mean?"
"Now, everything is about saving Xiaoxuan. Write down the coordinates here, wait until you come back for five, and return to the county town for a while."
I agree. Indeed, we have injured too many people this time. If we continue to force the trap, we may be wiped out.
Master Zhe disappeared for most of the day and did not come back until after four o'clock in the afternoon. His face was full of fatigue.
"Didn't catch up until July?"
Master Zhe sighed: "Oh...sorry, I did my best."
Douyazi angrily said, "This dog is crawling in July! Did he grow up eating loaches?"
.....
Two days later, in a certain alley in Dongguan Primary School, Kangding County.
"Sister, do you have any small money at home?" (The small money is copper coins).
"Do you collect antiques? How much does it cost to collect small leather?"
I hurriedly said, "Two pieces per."
"Then you gave it to me. Someone who collected antiques came before, so I only gave me one cent."
"You just wait here, I'll get it for you, don't go into the house."
The elder sister who was eating at the door put down her bowl and chopsticks, turned around and entered the room, and came out with a plastic bag a few minutes later.
I hurriedly squatted down and untied the plastic bag, and pulled it to see the bag of copper coins.
"How many are there in my sister?"
"I don't know, I haven't counted it. If you want it, count it."
I pretended to count and said, "Sister, I'll give you one hundred and five."
"Yeah, you can't give it two hundred? Look at how good my little money is, it's so bare."
I didn't talk nonsense, I gave the money and took it.
I have to buy them all, because I will choose some separately, and the other party will definitely think that there are some valuable ones, either not selling them, or just let the lion speak up.
When I came out and walked to the corner of the alley, I took out a new plastic bag and picked out all the copper coins that were passed down from generation to generation. I picked out about thirty pieces, and I threw away the rest.
It’s not a waste, it’s because I’m afraid of confusing the past and non-passionate ones, and I’m afraid of affecting Xiaoxuan.????.
The so-called handed down products refer to the kind of yellow bright copper coins that enter a hundred families, with more than 10,000 people, with a wear-skinned surface, and no rust or soil. Among them, the Five Emperors coins are the best.
As long as you have entered the soil and come out, it cannot be considered a tradition.
Especially those with green rust and black rust all over, I don’t want it.
From Feng Shui, this type of money is full of yang energy and has a mysterious power that is indescribable. It was often used to tell fortunes and pray for blessings.
The old professor said that he would use dozens of kilograms of money to cook beans. I worked hard all morning and picked and picked, but only received more than three kilograms, which was far from the bottom.
I got a trumpet from selling tofu.
I held up the trumpet and walked through the streets and alleys and shouted: "Cause the skin money! Recycle the small skin money! Recycle the small skin money at a high price!"
Walking to the door of Green Olives, a woman above opened the window and called me.
"Wait! I have a few silver dollars for the antiques, do you want it?"
"No, I just need to have money."
"There are also money-savings, come and have a look."
I quickly walked upstairs.
The first floor is the Green Olive Dance Hall, which is lively at night and there are no people at noon. There has always been a rumor outside that he could touch the girl with Green Olives in his early years.
This rumor is wrong. It is a salsa dance with a beautiful woman for ten minutes. If you want to do it, at least add zero and multiply it by two.
"Come in and get it. I can't handle it under the bed."
I took out a jar of wine from under the bed, and the jar was full of copper coins, weighing at least ten pounds.
"You dug this out of the ground?"
"What dug out? This is passed down from my family."
She said: "My grandma's family was a landlord before the liberation. She used to have more than a dozen jars and silver dollars. I sold them all. Now this jar is left. Look at how much is it to give me."
Most of the jar is full of handed down products. I gave him 800 yuan and asked a normal person to collect it, and at most 300 yuan.
"Beauty, do you know who has more yellow copper coins like this?"
"Yeah, you have a sweet mouth when you collect antiques."
"Bah," she lit the hundred-dollar bill back and forth and said with a smile: "You go to the old cinema to look for it, where there were several landlords before."
At 10:30 in the evening, I hadn't eaten for a day, and blisters were ground into the soles of my feet. I dragged my tired body and returned to the hotel with a bag of copper coins.
All fell on the bed.
Under the light bulb, the pile of copper coins are reflected in golden light.
Douyazai leaned on crutches and said, "It looks so good, like a gold coin. It must be more than twenty pounds, right?"
I weighed it, which was more than 26 pounds.
Brother Yu had bought more than ten kilograms of lentils. I brought an iron stove and took off the shelves and poured the copper coins and beans into the pot, and then filled it with water.
Boil water on fire.
The pot started half an hour later.
Remove the lid of the pot, the copper coins were sinking at the bottom, the water was bubbling, and the lentils were boiled softly and rolling up and down.
The water in the pot was turbid and green, and there was a layer of light yellow oil floating on the surface. We didn't add oil, so we didn't know how this oil came about.
A problem appeared in front of me.
How to feed Xiaoxuan boiled beans?
After thinking about it, it seems that I can only feed my mouth to mouth.
Douyazi put down his crutch and said, "Why don't you let me do it."
I kicked him: "It's my turn to come! I'll be your turn?"
Douyazi waved his hand quickly and said, "Come on, come on."
I chewed a handful of lentils, and my mouth was full of smell of copper, and the taste was astringent and bitter.
I suppressed the discomfort, and tried to send it to Xiaoxuan's mouth.
She couldn't swallow it, so I could only try my best to push it down with my tongue.
After feeding the lentils, I picked up Xiaoxuan and went to the bathroom.
Arrange the washbasin.
