Chapter 29 The reason
Xia Yu packs it very quickly and gets it all in less than half of the return journey.
Now the father and son have joined forces to concoct "kind lies". He can just replace the seafood in the fish tank at home and raise it in the space.
After Ping An returned home, Xia Yu continued to pack and prepare a courier to Zhouji Seafood Restaurant. Xia Mingguang took a piece of bluestone grouper to clean it, prepared to steam it, and then helped Chen Fuqiong, who was making dinner.
There is no need to be particularly anxious to send express delivery to the town. Express companies will have to wait until they receive the express delivery before they will leave. This time is usually at 12 o'clock or even later. The fishing moratorium is not bad now, but it is the most common phenomenon that many fishermen go fishing late to come back.
Xia Yu also took Shanghai food after having a delicious dinner and rode an electric bike to the town.
This time he only sent Zhou Chen six packed foam boxes, containing seafood and ice cubes. When they were delivered to Zhouji Seafood Restaurant tomorrow morning, the seafood was basically alive.
After sending the goods, send the photos and videos taken to Zhou Chen.
This time he didn't send crabs to Bai Yujiao. Even though she praised the crabs last time, it was not necessarily a good thing to give them too frequently.
This time, he did not go home directly, but drove to a Wuji winery shop in the town that sells homemade wine. He used to come to make wine for his father Xia Mingguang and his uncle Chen Fuqiang, and he was very familiar with the road.
There is a store in front of Wuji Winehouse and a winemaking workshop behind it. The quality is quite reassuring. Fishermen like to come here to buy wine, and they can basically buy it at any time. Wu Zhenggang's family lives here.
When Xia Yu went, Wu Zhenggang's family had just had dinner. When he saw Xia Yu, he greeted him, "Have Ayu had dinner? Come and have something together."
Xia Yu said, "Thank you, Uncle Wu, I have eaten it. I want ten kilograms of pure grain wine to make medicinal wine, and then I can drink it with ten kilograms."
"Okay! We are all pure grain wine. If we use it to make medicinal wine, sorghum wine of 60 degrees is more suitable, and it costs twenty yuan per pound. Which one should I drink?"
"You're the best."
"Okay, thirty yuan per pound, Lao Xia is reluctant to buy this kind of wine when he comes to buy wine. Ayu, you are filial enough!" Wu Zhenggang's smile was very bright.
Xia Yu came to make wine but did not bring a container to hold the wine, but this was not a problem. He was directly put in ten glass wine bottles. Now the wine shop is also keeping pace with the times and customizing glass wine bottles for later use. The wine bottles at Wuji wine shop are not too fancy. The transparent glass wine bottles for this pound are estimated to be one dollar for the wholesale price.
Xia Yu bought ten kilograms of wine for soaking medicine, and Wu Zhenggang gave him ten bottles of wine, so he could not buy it again.
The other ten kilograms of wine were packed in two five kilograms of plastic wine, and Xia Yu transferred the money to him directly on WeChat.
The enthusiastic Wu Zhenggang also found him a cardboard box to fill with a bottle to make medicinal wine, and he also chatted for a few words during this period.
Before leaving, Xia Yu also said, "Uncle Wu, bring the wine barrel back to you next time."
He went to the shop in the town again, mainly buying electronic scales, and then saw that he had bought some other useful daily necessities and prepared to put them in the space for later use.
It is useful at home, but it is more troublesome to use it and return it back to its original place. He bought it and put it in the space, and it will be useful immediately.
On the way back, he took in the things he should have in the space, leaving only the wine for Xia Mingguang in the car.
When he got home, he greeted his parents and teased the big yellow dog who was chasing him. Xia's mother also nagged a few times on a daily basis, but she didn't say anything more to him buying wine for Xia Mingguang. He only had this hobby, as long as it didn't miss the matter, it would be fine.
Then, Xia Yu went back to his room to take a shower and rest.
Zhou Chen still responded to his news soon, but he took a shower before going to check his phone. Zhou Chen reported the good news to him, saying that the batch of seafood he had delivered was pre-sold in advance.
He was not surprised by this, and he said something else, "Brother Chen is calm! You are a person who does big things!"
"Then you have to send me more seafood to me to make my career bigger!" Zhou Chen, like a death-seeking ghost, reminded him when he took the opportunity.
"I'll change it for you!"
"No matter how you change, just have good goods!"
"You're ruthless!"
After talking nonsense for a few words, they all parted.
Xia Yu first dealt with the things he just bought, first of all, the wine he bought to make medicine. Recently, he has caught many seahors and raised them in the space, and there is no problem with breeding. So now, he is planning to use a large seahorse to make wine, soaking one pound of wine.
He did not plan to put other medicinal herbs in it. Having a seahorse is enough. The seahorse is a good thing, and its main effect is to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang. He doesn't need it now, but Zhou Chen is definitely able to use it. Soak it first, and it is absolutely correct to have it in the space.
He was also a little worried that the medicinal materials were not included in it. The current medicinal materials were actually not as natural as before. He could not guarantee whether there were pesticides and pollution in the medicinal materials he bought. Nowadays, wild Chinese medicinal materials are basically not found, they are all grown. No matter how the effect is, ubiquitous pollution is really difficult to avoid.
After soaking ten bottles of seahorse wine, Xia Yu buried the bottle in the soil in the space.
After packing up this, he continued to clear the wreck treasure in the space.
The harvest today is quite huge, and it even makes him feel like he is hit on the head by a pie. He is a little inflated with copper coins and Spanish silver coins, and he doesn't plan to sell them out and sell them all. He is ready to collect them all by himself.
The price of any gold ingot is much more valuable than this pile of other currencies. Of course, it is just a market price. The value of archaeology, cultural relics, history and other aspects cannot be calculated in this way. He himself belongs to the history department, so he naturally understands this.
He also magically took out the cleaned gold ingots.
There are five kinds of gold ingots in total, and he didn't take them all out, and no one could show off. He just took one piece of them out as a representative.
He also knew the gold harvest today, 20 wordsless gold bars, 50 yuan of Zhang Ji gold ingots, 40 yuan of Wupu gold ingots, and 10 yuan of gold ingots shaped by Annan ships.
In addition, there are 36 gold ingots.
Total number is 156.
He took it out mainly to measure the accurate weight, and it was time for the electronic scale he just bought to put it on.
Among them, the wordless gold bar is the heaviest, with 372.2 grams.
Zhang Ji Jin ingots are lighter, only 364.9 grams.
Wupu gold ingots have 366.8 grams.
The Annan ship has 367.2 grams in shape.
There are 370.5 grams of gold ingots.
The weights are different, Xia Yu seriously suspected that even the weights of the gold ingots laid out by the same gold will not be exactly the same.
But this is actually innocuous, and the errors are within acceptable limits.
Xia Yu felt that he was really expanding, "It's only a few grams of gold, less than two thousand yuan, it's drizzling!"
He suddenly remembered to test something new. Will the electronic scales be different from those outside in the space?
He did what he wanted and started experimenting immediately. The results showed that the weights he weighed were the same.
While he was a little confused, Xia Yu also comforted himself that at least he could weigh things directly in the space in the future, so as to be unaware of it.
He used the micrometer he had bought before and was ready to measure the size of these gold ingots, such as the size of gold ingots is 5.53x3.12x3.32.
But soon, he felt a little boring because measuring the size of the gold ingot felt meaningless.
"No, I'm science, archaeology!"
Xia Yu immediately cheered himself up and recorded various original data of these gold ingots.
Then he took out the gold ingots and found that as he expected, even the same batch of gold ingots had different sizes and weights.
So he stopped doing the original record...
Could it be that it is really necessary to measure all these 156 gold ingots?
To do this, you have to do it in the space! It’s so silly to take it outside to measure it!
When Xia Yu was reflecting on himself, he always felt that he had forgotten something.
But soon, he thought of it!
You still have to take photos and record them!
Of course, it is definitely not for showing off.
This batch of gold is the most convenient thing in this treasure of the wreck, and it also has to take some of the things that must be taken. The economy is the highest, and as for other values such as archaeology, history, and sociological research, he will not take all of them.
The biggest possible channel for action is to go to Yuxiangzhai, Bai Yujiao's family. Most of his previous haystack porcelain was sold through their stores, and it was almost the same to collect and buy bronze cauldrons. Everyone knows it well and is on the same boat, so there is no need to worry about betrayal or eating black.
If it were not necessary, Xia Yu would never melt these gold ingots and recast them. In that case, it would become ordinary gold, and the collection and historical value would be completely abandoned, which would also damage cultural relics.
Xia Yu's photography skills are also developed under such circumstances. Moreover, it is said that "real gold is not afraid of fire refining". This way, the treatment of salvaging gold ingots is much more convenient than porcelain. Basically, the surface only needs to be cleaned. There is no need to do a very cumbersome process of desalination and reinforcement and repair.
As for why there is so much gold on this ship, Xia Yu, who is familiar with history, knows it.
From the 16th to the 18th century, the Ming and Qing dynasties were basically imported and gold was exported.
Silver in Central and South America crossed the ocean in exchange for tea, raw silk, gold and porcelain made in China. After Zhang Juzheng's silver tax and financial reform, silver found a place to live in China. Due to the trade surplus, the supply of silver increased, so private transactions were based on silver or converted into copper coins. Therefore, the demand for silver was large, and the gold-silver ratio was about 1:8-10.
However, in the same era, Europe and Fusang and other countries implemented gold standard, silver standard or weighing currencies, and the government issued gold coins to position currencies, in order to stabilize the large demand for gold volume, the gold price will be high.
With such a gap in gold and silver prices, trade will have the possibility of profit. Therefore, there are transactions in which silver enters and gold is out.
The Portuguese on this ship should be doing a transaction to transport gold abroad, which is also an important reason why Xia Yu did not find silver on the ship.
