fisherman legend

Chapter 72 Killing two birds with one stone

After returning to the old house, I picked the sea fish caught in the morning to cook. After lunch, Zhuang Haiyang threw the porcelain from the sunken ship casually in the corner.The oxidized silver ingots that were picked up were cleaned up carefully.

Looking at the 66 silver ingots that were cleaned up, Zhuang Haiyang still seemed quite happy in his heart.Even if silver is not as valuable as gold, such silver ingots will naturally not be sold as ordinary silver, and the added value must be much higher.

Rinse off the oxides on the silver ingot, and the silver ingot also reveals its original color.It's just that compared with the common silver in the market, the color of these silver ingots is undoubtedly much darker, which is related to the ancient purification process.

Each silver ingot is engraved with the words "Yinzuoju, Huayinwushiliangzhong", although the date number cannot be seen on it.But after searching online, Zhuang Haiyang knew that these 66 silver ingots should come from the Zhu Dynasty.

Weighing it in his hand, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "Ten taels a catty in modern times, and 16 taels a catty in ancient times. This piece of silver ingot probably weighs more than three catties and should be less than four catties. It should be converted into grams. Less than two kilograms."

After a simple calculation, Zhuang Haiyang found a silver ingot, which should be less than two kilograms.I looked at the price of silver on the Internet, and it was only about four yuan per gram.A silver ingot seems to be less than 1 yuan.

After calculating the lowest price of the silver ingot, Zhuang Haiyang smiled wryly and said, "It seems that this silver ingot is not worth much. If you can't sell it for [-] yuan, then you might as well keep it as a family heirloom! Anyway, it's worth it anyway. Antique!"

Knowing the price of ancient silver ingots, it must not be sold at modern silver prices.But for Zhuang Haiyang, if the selling price of the silver ingot is too low, he really doesn't mind collecting it. 66 pieces, it looks pretty eye-catching!

Finding a new wooden box, Zhuang Haiyang locked the cleaned silver ingots in the wooden box and put it in his bedroom where he was resting.Even if he wants to sell, Zhuang Haiyang intends to find a good buyer.If the price is too low, he really won't sell it!
Compared with the silver ingot found on the sunken ship, Zhuang Haiyang seemed to value it very much.Those picked up porcelains are placed directly in the corner and cleaned when there is time.Unsurprisingly, those porcelains should all be from the Zhu Dynasty.

I stayed under the sea for too long in the morning, and my mental energy was also exhausted.After eating, Zhuang Haiyang, who had checked the information, fell asleep.After waking up, two hours later, Zhuang Haiyang started to get busy again.

Re-bait the row hooks, and pull out the crab cages at home, and go to sea again after preparing the bait.Put the crab cages down first, which made Zhuang Haiyang, who was used to two-person work during summer vacation, somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Zhuang Haiyang is busy with all these tasks, so he just needs to spend more time.After the crab cage is lowered, the lower row hooks are put away again.Seeing all kinds of sea fish in the water tank, Zhuang Haiyang was also very satisfied.

"Unable to guarantee the quality, we can only win by quantity! These flying fish are still alive, and they should be able to persist if they are saved for sale tomorrow. If you want to buy this batch, you can still make a small profit."

Before the sun set into the sea, Zhuang Haiyang drove his fishing boat to the sunken ship again.During this time period, there were fewer fishing boats on the sea than usual.Under normal circumstances, offshore fishing boats will start preparing to return to port.

But for Zhuang Haiyang, he didn't need to sail back to the port at all.The sunken ship is only an hour's voyage from Nanshan Island.As long as there is no sudden change in the weather at sea, judging from the wind and waves at sea today, there should be no big waves at night.

After lowering the anchor, Zhuang Haiyang looked at his diving watch and said directly: "Clean up for another two hours, and clean up the sand on the sunken ship. Wait until tomorrow night, spend a little more time, and clean up everything on the ship." .”

Diving into the sea again, Zhuang Haiyang did not enter the sunken ship again, but spent his time cleaning up the silt that buried the sunken ship.Every half hour or so, Zhuang Haiyang will surface to observe the conditions of the waves.

Two hours later, seeing most of the sunken ship cleared, Zhuang Haiyang, who was a little out of breath, also said with emotion: "Damn, it's really not easy to search for treasures on a sunken ship! I hope the harvest on the ship tomorrow will not disappoint me too much."

Judging from the cleared shipwreck, the tonnage of the shipwreck is not small.Although it is not yet known whether there is any cargo in the cargo hold of the sunken ship.But from Zhuang Haiyang's point of view, such a cargo ship should have some gains.

Putting down the anchor and starting to return, the sky was completely dark at this time.On the sea, some looming lights of fishing boats can be seen from a distance.Zhuang Haiyang has become accustomed to similar night flight scenes.

Back in the old house, before entering the door, he heard the sound of dogs barking, Zhuang Haiyang also laughed and cursed: "These three foodies are probably hungry again!"

Compared with chickens that have learned to return to the chicken coop by themselves, Zhuang Haiyang has already poured grain into the food bowl of the chicken coop when he went to sea in the afternoon.It was somewhat difficult for the three native dogs who were also wandering around the island to find food for themselves.

The three dogs who have started to eat hard food, even if they eat leftover shrimp shells and rice every day.But when he had time, Zhuang Haiyang would still steam some sea fish that would die out of water for them.This kind of life can be called a luxury.

Although he was exhausted after a busy day, Zhuang Haiyang could also feel that some kind of change was taking place in his body.Although some places feel sore and swell, as long as you survive it and dive into the sea about [-] meters later, your body will not be damaged.

"While improving your cultivation, you must not forget the training to strengthen your physical body. Although it is tiring to dredge the sunken ship, you can not only temper your physical body, but also get rewards from the sunken ship. Why not do it because you can kill two birds with one stone?"

Take the silver ingots obtained by Zhuang Haiyang during the day as an example, perhaps each one cannot be sold for the high price of hundreds of thousands advertised online.But Zhuang Haiyang believes that as long as he doesn't concentrate his efforts, one piece can sell for [-] yuan, and he believes that a lot of people will grab it!

In this way, 66 silver ingots can be sold for several million.Compared with collecting those porcelain calligraphy and paintings, silver ingots are precious metals and a kind of currency. I believe there will be more buyers who are willing to collect them.

After a night of practice, Zhuang Haiyang, who went out to sea in the dark, did not bring a row hook, but went to the sunken ship to clean up the mud first.I lowered the row hook twice yesterday, and there are already a lot of marine fish in the water tank on the boat. If there are more, there may be insufficient oxygen.

By the time it was dawn, Zhuang Haiyang had almost cleaned up the silt that buried the sunken ship.Zhuang Haiyang, who planned to come to Taobao again tonight, had better go back to the sea area where the crab cages were lowered first, and put away all the crab cages.

After tying the caught crabs and putting them in a bucket, Zhuang Haiyang went back to the old house first, fed the chickens and dogs after breakfast, and found a small wooden box, filled it with a silver ingot, and planned to ask Chen Zhong to help. See if anyone is willing to buy it.

Zhuang Haiyang will be cautious when selling items salvaged from these sunken ships.In Zhuang Haiyang's view, it is still necessary to take one out to test the waters and exchange some hard-earned money.For others, it’s not too late to act slowly.

Antiques are different from seafood. Seafood is fresh, while antiques are old.Although the town is not big, there are many rich people.In terms of making friends, Zhuang Haiyang believes that Chen Zhong's contacts in the town should still be more than his own.

For other silver ingots, Zhuang Haiyang will also inquire about prices through those netizens who have played at home.As long as there are no accidents, Zhuang Haiyang believes that with a little more time, these silver ingots should bring him a lot of income.

By spreading out the sales, the price of each silver ingot can be sold at a higher price.Although Zhuang Haiyang is not short of money for the time being, who would think there is too much money these days?Selling an extra [-] yuan for each silver ingot is faster than making money every time you go fishing!
