Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 210 The Blizzard Stopped
The ink must not be smudged in the middle, otherwise the previous work will be in vain and the smile on Shen You's face will disappear.

When taking down the printed rice paper, you must also choose the right time. It will be bad if it is too wet, and it will be difficult to take it down if it is too dry.

There are two broken stone slabs, only one of which has words on it, and the other has only patterns and two incomplete words, which should be Bing and Ren among the Ten Heavenly Stems.

You can still make rubbings, but it is not necessary.

It looks like some kind of totem, but there may not be corresponding information in the world.

The totems of the Bronze Age were simple in style, without developed handicraft techniques, and the tools used were relatively primitive.

The words on the stone are not very regular and difficult to distinguish.

It was already late at night when Shen You finished the rubbing. He closed the shop and went upstairs to rest.

I didn’t sleep much last night, so I slept particularly deeply today and didn’t wake up until after noon.

The alarm clock that told her to get up and exercise at nine o'clock rang and was turned off.

At noon, Shen You steamed some homemade sweet sausages that her aunt sent from her hometown, as well as some spare ribs from the refrigerator.

We had breakfast and lunch together, a simple meal, and it was already past one o'clock when we started eating.

After eating and cleaning up, Shen You took the rubbing, paper and pen and started copying down the words on it.

There are only a dozen or so characters, and every time I write one I feel like I can't write. It's too difficult.

She tried her best, but it was ugly.

I divided a dozen words into three parts, took a photo and sent it out to ask what it meant.

I received replies one after another, and there were a few words in the middle that no one recognized.

Shen You concluded by guessing that no one knew who the king asked to inform the gods and what he was praying for.

Xu Jiayan also understood something from the few texts Shen You sent him.

"The last half should be the unfinished word 'Qiang'. Some say Qiang people refer to a certain tribe, while others say it is a general term for prisoners of war used as sacrifices.

The text you sent records a sacrifice, but there are two characters I have never seen before. I just looked through the public information and couldn't find them either. I also don't know what the Yu mentioned above refers to."

He wanted to ask where he saw these words. There were two words that might not have been discovered in China.

Xu Jiayan actually has first-hand information about the present world. If there are any problems, he can probably see them.

This is also the reason why Shen You did not show it to the old professors first, as those professors are more powerful.

It is not easy to bring this thing into the modern world, as it will affect the research of contemporary experts.

Only after confirming that there is no problem will she show it to a few senior professors.

"A friend from abroad gave me a rubbing." This is what Shen You said, still making up a friend out of nothing.

Sure enough, Xu Jiayan couldn't sit still after hearing this, "Can I take a look?"

This time, Shen You sent both him and Professor Li photos of the complete rubbings. After receiving their replies, he went to Boss Fang to repay the favor.

Everyone had similar opinions. Shen You and Professor Li had a phone call. They didn't say anything explicitly, but they communicated.

Professor Li also figured it out. This thing is of the same nature as the "fake ancient book" from last time.

The slate is not easy to take out.

"This Yu could be a person's name or a place name. The rubbing is real, but unfortunately it's incomplete." The boss asked, "Would you sell it?"

If it's not expensive, he would like to accept it.

He had never seen any of the words inside, which made the item even rarer, so he wanted to collect it for himself.

Shen You: "I won't do anything for now. I'll come back to you when I want to do something."

"Okay." Boss Fang didn't think Shen You was just being perfunctory.

She doesn't collect rubbings or study calligraphy, so it is very likely that she sold it.

And Shen You has a good reputation in the circle.

Before going back, Shen You bought some fireworks. In the past few years, they were not allowed to be set off or sold during the Chinese New Year.

Jiangcheng only lifted the restrictions last year. Fireworks are not allowed in the city center or commercial areas, but they are allowed in one’s own yard.

There were parachutes, spinning tops, and extended snowflake sticks. "There are only two Gatling guns left. They will sell quickly during the New Year. There will be more in stock the day after tomorrow." The boss took out a large plastic bag and helped her put everything in it.

Fireworks are so expensive nowadays. She forgot what the prices were when she was a child, but the prices shouldn’t have increased so dramatically.

The Gatling gun costs 70 each, and you can only buy 100 rounds for yuan. The boss says it is absolutely beautiful.

No money if it doesn’t look good.

Shen You wants to see how beautiful it is.

Just the trunk and other things cost me more than a thousand.

After returning home, she received the last batch of express deliveries of the year, which were also New Year's goods she bought, some nuts and drinks, which she bought at a low price during the event.

I was rushing to Da Qi to dig up antiques, and all the things were piled up in the shop, and I had no time to unpack them.

It was indeed snowing heavily in Da Qi. When I stood outside, I felt like I was going to be deformed by the wind and I couldn't see clearly.

Shen You has already figured out where to dig based on the information Professor Li provided, the ancient roads, and the terrain.

But the wind and snow were too strong, and she didn't want to waste her safety time here.

I only dug twice under the door. Luck doesn't always come, so I didn't find anything this time, and a snowman piled up against the wall.

Shen You also wanted to make it look better, but his skills were not good enough, and the black and gray colors turned it into an abstract emoticon package.

Good.

She went back to the house in the cold, holding the shovel.

In the early days, such blizzards were extremely unbearable for the people in Shuozhou City.

But today is different. They have fuel for heating, food, and no foreign invasions. It is rare that they can live a good life.

The same is true in the military camp.

The soldiers who received the grapefruits yesterday were extremely moved. Some of them had never seen this fruit, which can only be grown in the south, in their entire lives.

Before, 90% of people had frostbite on their hands and feet, which were swollen, itchy and painful, making it impossible to sleep at night.

Ever since I received the frostbite cream, the room has become warmer, I can have a good rest and eat some fruit, I never imagined it would be so comfortable before.

The military doctor stroked his beard and sighed, "I don't know if the master will accept disciples."

The frostbite cream is indeed effective. He studied it for a whole day but still couldn't figure out what it is made of.

I really envy Lao Zhou and his friends for meeting the master.

"General, it's snowing so heavily today. Should we go to the master's house to see if there is any help needed?" said the military doctor.

Liu Yunyan, who was chewing on a freshly made pancake, raised her head.

"With such heavy snow, the road over there is difficult to walk on. The master's house doesn't need charcoal fire, it is warmer than burning charcoal fire, so there is no need for our help."

She actually wanted to go and have a good meal and drink at Shopkeeper Shen's place.

But you can't just go over and disturb others for no reason. Although it's impossible for outsiders to come in this kind of weather, you can't let your guard down.

Two days passed like this.

In the early morning of the third day, the blizzard suddenly stopped, earlier than expected, which was not a good thing for Shuozhou City.

As soon as the snow stops, the foreigners will prepare to attack the city again.

What's worse is that in this situation it is impossible to send people out to inquire about the news of the heavy cavalry.

The reinforcements haven’t arrived yet, so I’m afraid the situation isn’t very good.

Liu Yunyan had a hunch that the foreigners could not break the Molotov cocktails, so the next time they took action, heavily armored cavalry would definitely be involved.

The facts were similar to what she had guessed. General Lu in the northwest of Shuozhou City was also surrounded.

It was not his fault, the heavy cavalrymen were sitting on their horses, and the murderous intent in them overwhelmed them with just a wave of their weapons.

Can't fight.

If it weren't for the cold-resistant supplies that Li Heng bought from Shen You earlier, the losses would have been even more severe.
