Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 225: Ancient Jade Unearthed

In the afternoon, Shen You prepared to continue digging. Wen Zhi had to go to the barracks in the city to handle some business. He asked Liu Yunyan to find a few reliable people to help.

If Liu Yunyan hadn't had to participate in discussing the war, she would have been the first one to come over.

Shen You first told Uncle Zhou who brought people to help about some precautions. They brought their own shovels, and with more people and more hands, they could work faster.

Uncle Zhou was injured. Although he patted his chest to say that he was fine and that Shen You's medicine was very effective, Shen You still asked him to stay by his side and give instructions and not make any large movements.

Shen You went back to the shop and said he would prepare some food for them. When they heard that there was food to eat, everyone worked harder.

What they wanted to eat most were instant noodles and milk-flavored steamed buns, so Shen You couldn't just bring these things.

In winter, our physical strength is consumed quickly, so this little thing is not enough.

I opened the errand running software in the shop, bought carrot and mutton soup, fried rice, a whole sheet of sauce-flavored pancake, and steamed several bags of steamed buns.

They can eat instant noodles while working here, and there are several boxes in the warehouse.

While waiting, Shen You received a message from Academician Hu.

He said he was grateful for the ancient books she provided, and because it involved a confidentiality project, the relevant information about the ancient books was also protected.

The cracking method she wanted to ask about before can be given to her after the New Year together with the improved 3D model, but it cannot be sent to her personally and she can only go to the museum to see it.

This is the biggest good news at the end of the year. As long as Academician Hu comes to Jiangcheng, the problem will be solved.

He has already said that he will come after the New Year, and he will need to assist Deputy Director Tu and others in getting some information related to ancient characters.

After finishing the conversation, Shen You checked his Moments for a while.

Everyone is preparing for the New Year. The richer the family, the more attention it pays. Some even hire people to plan it and invite lion dancers, iron flower crafts, and fireworks that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a box to be held in their homes.

Shen You also gained a lot of knowledge.

She really couldn't imagine the life of rich people before, but later she found out that real big shots only eat specially supplied food and don't buy it outside.

They really have their own farm.

While she was surfing the 5G network, someone was also asking about the golden jade plate, a rare item that Wu Zhiyuan had personally inspected and said he had never seen another one.

Someone who is good at carving may not necessarily be good at writing, and there are very few people who possess both skills.

The gold-thread jade plate that Liu Zheng sent had unique words and carvings on it, and there was no other one like it in Da Qi.

While Shen You was reading the news, he also learned about the latest situation of his cousin's family from relatives in his hometown.

My cousin and his wife’s bank cards have been blocked, and their work has been greatly affected. If it weren’t for their previous connections, they probably would have lost their jobs.

When one person goes to jail, three generations are affected.

They are now renting a house with their children and trying to find a solution. Those who believed in them have long been disappointed, so who would be willing to help them?

Finally, the relative said, "They are not worthy of their position. They were such unkind people in the past. They deserve to be abandoned by everyone."

Shen You read it and exited the dialog box. He was right. It was what they deserved.

She also ate the melons from her hometown.

My parents' neighbor was divorced and had a granddaughter old enough to interfere in someone else's marriage. The man's wife came to his house and the two of them almost got into a fight. A large crowd of people gathered to watch the fun.

She just found it.

It’s such a small old neighborhood, but there are quite a few melons.

Forty minutes later, the goods were delivered and Shen You closed the Xianshiduan shop.

Go to the second floor kitchen to take down the steamed buns, and ask Uncle Zhou and the others to take a break and eat something first. Seeing such a sumptuous meal on the wooden table in the courtyard pavilion, everyone couldn't help but eat it in big mouthfuls.

"It's delicious! Compared to the past, when Shopkeeper Shen didn't come to the North, what kind of life was he living?"

It is no exaggeration to say that if Manager Shen were to rise up in rebellion now, they would immediately kneel down and call him lord.

They fought for the old emperor through life and death, and protected the country to the point of exhaustion, but the capital city never cared about people of low status like them.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Shen, the ancient road you mentioned has been cleared. It seems that there is something ahead, but we are all rough people and cannot understand it."

Uncle Zhou opened his mouth. He was so busy eating that he forgot to talk about the business.

Shen You said in surprise, "It's okay, I'll go check it out later, thank you for your hard work today."

It is definitely not easy to create an ancient road of very high standards considering the productivity thousands of years ago in such a deserted place.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." A soldier said hurriedly.

Just by shoveling the ground for a while, you can eat such delicious food. Everyone is rushing to do it. What a good job!
Uncle Zhou and the others finished their meal, and soon after, Wen Zhi and Liu Yunyan came over. Shen You had originally left a separate portion of food for Liu Yunyan, so Uncle Zhou didn't have to take it back for her.

"Ahhh!!! They are all my favorites!" Liu Yunyan raised her voice. Although she had never eaten the sauce-flavored pancake, it smelled delicious.

Shen You grabbed a steamed bun and ate it while walking, and came to the end of the ancient road.

This place was also covered with snow and gravel. Liu Yunyan ran over to help with the sauce-flavored pancake in her hands.

Most of the snow had been shoveled away before dark. As for the gravel, Shen You had to sort it out slowly, as there might be some with words or patterns on them.

This place really looks like a place for worshiping the gods. The traces of carving on the collapsed stones are almost weathered away, but the rough and simple style can be clearly felt.

Some cultural relics are indeed very abstract. There are quite a few of them in museums, including emoticon-shaped pottery figurines.

But after digging a little deeper in the soil according to the place Shen You pointed out, they found more abstract stone carvings and broken animal bones.

I don’t know if other people felt it, but when Shen You looked at the messy scene and ancient monuments in front of him, he suddenly felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

Thousands of years have passed, but I can still seem to feel the ancient people's communication between the yin and yang of heaven and earth, the ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and a hint of coldness.

"What is this?" Liu Yunyan looked at the abstract gravel that had just been dug out, and what seemed to be flat stones next to it.

"I guess it's part of a carved stone statue." Shen You replied. As for the flat stone, it was ancient jade, but it was stained with color. There was no better mining and polishing technology at that time.

To Liu Yunyan, a native of Da Qi who has seen good things in the capital, it is nothing but a stone.

"What is this sculpture?" Liu Yunyan was confused. Who could tell it was a stone statue? It was really strange.

If the craftsmen of Da Qi carved things like this, they would probably starve to death.

"I don't know yet. I have to try my best." Shen You pondered.

"You guys go back first today."

Wen Zhi spoke, and everyone saluted him and Shen You with their arms crossed, "Yes."

None of them can piece together the stone statues, let alone understand the pictures and words that seem like a divine book, so there is no point in them staying here.

This is what Liu Yunyan thought.

Soon after they left, the wind blew from the mountains, and fine snow flew in the air.

Shen You, wearing fleece windproof gloves, picked up the ancient jade, and like a magic trick, took out a ziplock bag from his pocket and put it in.

The stones are difficult to move, so I’ll go back and check on the jade first.

At this time, Wen Zhi squatted down beside her and said in a very soft voice, mixed in the wind, "I have seen this stone statue."
