Rebirth 1982 Be the stubborn master

Chapter 109 Imperial Decree Plaque
"Otherwise, I'll call my son to let you know."

"Yes, I will help arrange an easier job for him then."

Du Kang agreed, Brother Xu enthusiastically poured him a cup of tea, and then went out to find someone.

After a while, I heard voices outside, it seems that he should come with his son.

When the two entered the room, Du Kang looked up and shouted that he was still an acquaintance.

He waved to him with a smile and asked, "Hello, what's your name?"

"Xu Dabao."

Brother Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, my son has been honest and capable since he was a child. He will definitely do a good job and will never embarrass you."

Du Kang ignored him, stared at Xu Dabao and said, "Have we met before, we seem a little familiar."

"I'm also a little familiar, which shows that we are destined. Don't worry, I'm an honest person, and I will work hard."

Du Kang smiled mysteriously, and suddenly spoke something confusing.

"Do you know who I am? I don't know. Then let's do it, hand over the money to my brother."

Xu Dabao was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what he meant by saying that, his face changed when he realized it, and he rushed out with a whoosh.

Brother Xu was confused over there, not understanding what Du Kang said casually and why his son ran away.

Du Kang ignored him, drinking tea there calmly, after a while Xu Dabao came back with a dejected face, and fell to his knees with a plop.

"Master Du, I don't dare anymore, I really don't dare, you just spare my dog's life. One person does things and one person is in charge, and it has nothing to do with the family. Why are you angry at me?"

Xu Dabao was stunned by the fright, it was just an impromptu grab for something, he thought it was nothing, but in the end, the Buddhas in the entire Forty-Nine City were touched, just to find them, he searched mountains and seas, he even searched the place where he was hiding nothing.

I had no choice but to go home and escape, who would have thought that someone would come to my door.

He wanted to run here just now, but he thought that this was his home, and the monk couldn't run away from the temple if he ran away, so he had to come back and accept the punishment.

"Now I know I'm afraid, why didn't I think of being afraid at the time?"

"I didn't know you were Lord Du at the time, otherwise I wouldn't dare to trouble you."

The Buddhas in the entire Forty-Nine City were mobilized. Thinking about this, Xu Dabao was startled, what kind of person did he provoke, and he had such great ability.

Brother Xu watched for a long time, and found that his son had caused trouble outside, and in the end, someone came to the door. It seemed that the situation was serious.

Kneeling down anxiously, wanting to beg for mercy.

Du Kang hurriedly stepped forward to pull him up and said, "Brother Xu, don't worry, this is a matter between me and him. Since you are involved, I will spare him this time, but if there is another time, don't blame me for being rude."

"Don't worry, I won't spare him."

Brother Xu was so angry that he took out the rolling pin and hit it on the spot. After a few sticks, he almost failed to break the rolling pin.

He was really angry. He knew before that his son didn't learn well, but he didn't cause trouble for the family, and he often took money home. Although he was angry, he didn't make a big deal. At most, he said a few words to prevent him from doing bad things. .

As a result, Du Kang was actually offended this time. He is a big shot who can have a relationship with the museum. It is really daring to offend even such a big shot.

Thinking of the good job he helped find with great difficulty, and what to do in the future if the matter is gone because of this, he was even more angry, and he hit him harder, smashing him to the ground and rolling.

Du Kang knew that this was a phone call for him, and he was afraid that his son had finally found a job, because of this matter, he would lose it.

"Brother Xu, you don't need to fight. I don't care about this kind of thing."

"Stinky boy, don't hesitate to thank people."

Xu Dabao repeatedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir for forgiving me so much, I will definitely make amends and catch them all."

"For your father's sake, let's forget about it. Don't mention it again in the future."

"Thank you, I will definitely educate him later and never let him get into trouble. Otherwise, you can eat here at noon, let me treat you well and express your gratitude."

Brother Xu thanked him excitedly, thinking that Du Kang was looking at his face.

However, Du Kang was just not interested in pursuing it and didn't take him seriously.

Once bitten by a dog, do you still have to bite it?
Besides, he didn't suffer any injuries, on the contrary, Xu Dabao and others were kicked far away by him, even if they were not injured, they would still be in pain for a long time.

As for the meal, Du Kang didn't want to eat it at first, but he refused for a long time, Brother Xu refused to let him leave, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.

Taking advantage of his cooking time, Du Kang, under the leadership of Xu Dabao, visited the silkworm room.

The inside is full of silkworm racks, and the silkworm plaques on it are a bit old.

Silkworm plaques are made of bamboo strips to hold mulberry leaves and to raise silkworms.

Layers of silkworm plaques are placed on the shelf, which can be placed several times, which can make better use of space and is also convenient for silkworm farmers to take down and place.

But it can be seen from the layout that Brother Xu has been raising silkworms for many years and is very familiar with them.

Du Kang was going to talk to him about how to raise the three-sleeping silkworms. This is not a common raising method. At least before the last moulting and cocooning, he must pay attention to prevent eating too well and turning into four-sleeping silkworms. At that time, he could sit on the wax.

Brother Xu was cooking there, and he greeted warmly, "You rest first, I will make you some special dishes, and I guarantee that you will still want to eat them."

"Thank you."

Du Kang sat down on a stool and looked around boredly. When he looked at the chopping board he was using, he felt something was wrong. It feels like it's made of rosewood.

I couldn't help standing up and looking at it carefully, the more it looked more like an antique, I asked, "Brother Xu, where did you get this cutting board?"

"I picked it up in Forty-Nine City before. It doesn't look like it's a bit big, but it's very easy to use. It hasn't broken after decades of use."

"Can I see it?"

Brother Xu didn't know, so he stepped aside, Du Kang looked more and more like a plaque, took the things on it aside, turned it over, and saw that the dark red plaque was engraved with words, Manchu on the left, Chinese on the right, and Decorated with gold dust.

In addition, there are six golden dragons on the other four sides, two on the upper and lower sides, and one on the left and right to show the extraordinary.

This is a good thing. If he read it correctly, it should be an imperial plaque from the Qing Dynasty.

The date is easy to confirm. The left side is Manchu, and the right side is Chinese. Manchu and Chinese stand side by side. Except for the Qing Dynasty, no other dynasty used both languages ​​at the same time.

Of course, this is not the original imperial decree, but to show the greatness of the imperial decree, the subjects who have won the emperor's grace, after obtaining the imperial decree, engraved it on the plaque to repay the court and satisfy the glory of the ancestors.

The engraving method of this plaque adopts Yang engraving, with dignified and beautiful characters, abrupt strokes, and a flat bottom. As a sacred object, it highlights the family and hopes to preserve it forever, pass it on from generation to generation, and bless future generations.

It's a pity that the preservation is not complete, and the gold paint on it has almost fallen off.

But the writing on it was still faintly visible, Du Kang lay down on it and read it carefully, wanting to see whose imperial decree it was.

Xu Dabao said disapprovingly, "It's just a broken chopping board, what's so interesting about it."

"Battered chopping board, do you know what this is?"

Du Kang was startled, and fully realized what it means to be a piece of grass for an outsider, but a treasure for an insider.

This is an imperial plaque, even now it is worth hundreds of dollars, but it turns out to be a broken chopping board in your mouth!

That's right, it's just used as a chopping board, look at the ones that were chopped with a knife, the densely packed knife marks have long since become innumerable, and they have been chopped layer after layer, and they are all sunken, and the middle is obviously thicker than the surrounding Thin.

If this is used for a few more years, it will make you wear it.

Xu Dabao scratched his head, but he really didn't see anything special about this chopping board that had been used for decades.

"Is it because the family has no money to marry a daughter-in-law, so we can sell this."

"This is just a cracking board, what is it worth?"

"I want 200 yuan."

"two hundred!!"

This, this, this...the two were instantly at a loss, unable to speak out of excitement.

"Of course, let me tell you, this is an imperial plaque and it is carved with red sandalwood. According to my estimation, it is worth two hundred."

The two were instantly ecstatic, and without even thinking about it, they nodded and said, "I'll give it to you."

They never expected that a chopping board would sell for two hundred, and looking at the dilapidated furniture at home, they felt like they were all treasures.

If you can find a few more treasures, not to mention the money for the son to marry the wife, the grandson will have the money to marry the wife.

Brother Xu said enthusiastically, "Look at what else I want at home, take it as you like."

You think this is the imperial palace, everything is a treasure, Du Kang was very surprised to find such a plaque.

Judging from their performance, Du Kang knew that they were so overwhelmed by the 200 yuan that they even forgot about bargaining, thinking that getting 200 yuan was already a blessing from heaven.

He took out twenty cards of Great Unity and put them on the table as money for the plaque.

Brother Xu picked it up and looked at it. He couldn't hide the joy on his face, but then he got excited and handed the money back to Du Kang with great perseverance.

"I'll give you the chopping board. I don't need money. Can you find a job for my daughter-in-law? I know it's difficult for you, but I will definitely help you raise the silkworms. And I don't need a penny. Please help me."

Du Kang frowned, Mu Jinxuan was doing carpentry work, how could he recruit female workers.

Seeing that he disagreed, Brother Xu almost knelt down for him, and said pitifully, "You can do any kind of work, even doing odd jobs. You know that in a place like the countryside, you have to deal with the land all your life. If you can't get out, your life will be over.

As long as you can help, no matter what request you ask, I will definitely agree. "

This is the only chance for him to change his son's fate. Thinking that the other party has to raise silkworms for him, so that he can do his best, this favor can help.

Anyway, it's just a sentence, so it's not a big problem.

Du Kang thought for a while and came up with an idea.

"Why don't you go to my house, I just bought a three-entry courtyard house, and it's difficult for the family to clean, so let her help with the cleaning, how about I pay 35 per month?"

"Go, go, go."

Brother Xu nodded again and again. It is really difficult to have a serious job.
