Chapter 703 Herring Stone

This box is made of wood and is very large. There is a large Ganoderma lucidum carved on the outside. There is also a seal on the mouth of the box that says "Qianzhou Pharmaceutical Group" and the words "Please consume within 24 hours after opening" are written next to it. .

There is a thick layer of ice outside.

Worried about damaging the contents inside, we did not dare to smash all the ice directly. We used a pry tool to gently sew along the cracks in the box. After all the ice in the cracks was removed, we inserted several pry knives into the box. Let Xiao Song press the bottom of the box, and Lu Cenyin and I pried it up.

"click" sound.

It fell to the ground with finely crushed ice shards on the box.

The lid of the box was opened.

There is a long strip inside, wrapped in tinfoil on the outside.

It's the kind of tin foil specially used for grilled fish.

There was air-conditioning coming out of the box.

I put on gloves and carefully removed the tin foil.

Like peeling an onion.

There are actually several floors.

When we finally opened it, all three of us were dumbfounded.

Because there is no treasure inside at all.

But it was a big herring, probably weighing about ten kilograms, and it was as hard as a rock from the cold.

Is this the important treasure that shopkeeper Song gave to Lu Cenyin? !
At first, I thought that the things that Shopkeeper Song left behind in such top-secret terms were most likely some major secrets that he had investigated over the past ten years or so.No matter how bad it was, even leaving an antique fish carved from Hetian jade would make sense, as it would also show Shopkeeper Song's gratitude to Lu Cenyin.

But what the hell is a frozen herring?

Are you worried that Lu Cenyin will have no fish to eat?
Lu Senyin was extremely surprised: "How could this happen?"

I scratched my head and turned to ask Xiao Song: "Xiao Song, are you sure the treasure your father mentioned is in this box?"

Xiao Song replied resolutely: "Sure!"

Lu Cenyin asked: "Xiao Song... Sister Cenyin is not overly concerned, do you really understand this Uncle Wei?"

I know what she means.

Shopkeeper Song has been dead for almost a year.

This thing must have been placed in Uncle Wei's shop before he died.

Lu Cenyin and I don't know exactly what kind of person Uncle Wei is. Maybe he saw something good inside, took it away, replaced it with a fish and put it inside, and then put the seal back on the outside. .

When Xiao Song heard this, he looked a little hesitant and replied: "He was a good friend of my father during his lifetime...I don't know."

I thought for a while: "Uncle Wei shouldn't be able to do anything bad!"

Lu Cenyin asked: "Why?"

I replied: "Because this is not in line with human nature. If he wants the things inside, simply and rudely say that he accidentally lost them and died. There is nothing that Xiao Song can do."

"Shopkeeper Song told Uncle Wei that there was Ganoderma lucidum inside. Uncle Wei didn't know if Xiao Song knew what was inside. If he didn't want to tell Xiao Song that he lost it directly out of kindness, even if he wanted to change it, even if he got a fake Ganoderma lucidum Just leave it here, why bother throwing a dead fish here many times? Not only is it illogical, it's like taking off your pants and farting."

"Since it is impossible for Uncle Wei to take it away or replace it, it means that this big herring must have been placed here by Shopkeeper Song. He told Uncle Wei that it contained the best Ganoderma lucidum. In fact, it was just a cover. His purpose was most likely to freeze it. This herring, don’t let it rot, maybe there is something hidden in the fish’s belly.”

Hearing this, Lu Cenyin nodded and asked Xiao Song, "Can you open it?"

Xiao Song said: "Sister Cen Yin, my dad gave this to you, you decide."

Lu Cenyin said: "Okay! Let's open it!"

Since the fish was really frozen too hard.

I had to ask Lu Cenyin to find a small cutting machine.

After the machine comes.I carefully cut open the belly of the fish for fear of damaging the contents inside.

After the fish belly is cut open.

There is nothing inside.

Just a very ordinary herring.

We looked at each other.

Lu Cenyin said: "Open the fish head!"

I continued to use the small cutter to cut the fish head.

The fish head was opened, but there was still nothing inside.

We even used flashlights and magnifying glasses to check the fish scales and the lines in the meat over and over again, but we found nothing at all.

At this point we were all confused.

Xiao Song said: "Sister Cen Yin, Brother Su, does this fish have any special meaning?"

What can the herring mean?
We didn't think about it for a long time.

The atmosphere was extremely dull.

It felt like a passerby walking in the dark. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning in the sky, allowing us to briefly see the road ahead, but the light was fleeting and the surroundings immediately became dark again.

Lu Senyin asked: "Su Chen, do you have any ideas?"

I stood up, lit a cigarette, thought about it carefully for a while, turned around and smiled at them: "Shopkeeper Song was so impressed, I took it back to stew it and eat it. It's a great supplement!"

Xiao Song frowned and said, "It's been so long and I can't eat it."

Lu Senyin said to Xiao Song: "Xiao Song, don't pay attention to him, he just likes to talk nonsense!"

"You must have seen something, can you speak more seriously?"

I asked Lu Cenyin: "Is there any treasure in the herring?"

Lu Cenyin replied: "No! Didn't you check it just now... Are you talking about the herring itself?"

I said, "Yes!"

Lu Senyin's beautiful eyes widened: "You mean herring stone?"

I nodded.

Lu Cenyin quickly opened the herring head that he had just cut open and rummaged through it several times. He looked extremely surprised: "The herring stone in this fish is missing!"

Herring stone is also called Yujing stone and herring jade.

This thing is a kind of horny growth in the throat area below the occipital bone of herring, which is specially used to help crush hard food such as snails and horns.The color is mainly bright yellow, and the shape is like a heart. After drying, it is as hard as stone, crystal clear, like green and jade, and is the most precious treasure among fish.

Many people in the south play with sapphire, and the price of sapphire in good condition is very high.

In the past, the Hakka people regarded this thing as a rare item. They were strung with a red rope and tied on the child's wrist to ward off evil and ensure safety.It is said that because the gods are relatively clear, children often see dirty things and will scream in fear. At this time, the herring stone is immediately stuffed into the child's mouth and sucked. The dirty things will be scared away, so it is also called ghost jade.

This big blue carp is old.

There must be herring stone inside the fish head.

But now all the internal organs of the big herring are there, but the most valuable stone is missing.

It is very possible that the secret lies inside the herring stone.

I asked Xiao Song: "Has your father ever told you that there is a herring stone hidden somewhere?"

When Xiao Song heard this, he thought about it carefully and suddenly said: "It really does exist!"
