After a brief discussion, they quickly divided the work. Li Jing took a few workers to clean up the tile house, and Wang Shi led the rest of the workers to start the demolition work.

Shen Qiansan took charge of the shopping.

After the discussion, everyone went their separate ways.

In two hours, Shen Qiansan bought everything he needed and brought it back in a truck.

After parking the car, Shen Qiansan took a few things and went to the tile house.

There were a lot of things, and he couldn't take them all in one trip, so he planned to call a few workers to help move them.

"Third brother, you are here!"

As soon as he arrived at the tile house, Wang Shi greeted him excitedly when he saw him.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Qiansan asked casually.

Wang Shi said excitedly: "Third brother, when we were digging in the afternoon, we found something amazing."

Shen Qiansan was happy, but he didn't ask what extraordinary things he found. Instead, he asked in surprise: "Why did you go to the back to dig the soil?"

Wang Shi said, "From the field to Wawu, we are walking on the ridge, and the road is very narrow. I think I will come to Wawu to eat every day in the future, and the field will be turned into an open-air restaurant. It will be filled up anyway, so I might as well destroy this small piece of field, build a road directly from the field, and dig the soil on the wasteland behind the house."

Shen Qiansan looked and saw that a dirt road about one meter wide had been filled in the field in front of the tile house.

Nodding, "That's fine too."

Wang Shi couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Why didn't his third brother care about the main point?

He hurriedly said, "Third brother, let's talk about the road later, go and take a look at those treasures first."

Shen Qiansan was curious and didn't know what Wang Shi and the others had dug up. First they said it was something extraordinary, and now they said it was a treasure.

"Where is the thing?"

Shen Qiansan asked, and said, "I'll go and see after I put down what I have in my hand."

"Oh, let me put it away for you!" Wang Shi said, snatching the things in Shen Qiansan's hand, putting them into the house in a hurry, and then impatiently pulling Shen Qiansan towards the wasteland behind the house.

When the two arrived, six or seven workers were gathered in front of a newly dug pit, including Li Jing.

"Third Brother!"

"Third brother, you are finally here!"

"Brother San, come and see, there is a treasure!"

"Third brother..."

"..."

Seeing Shen Qiansan coming, everyone greeted him, looking impatient.

This made Shen Qiansan even more curious.

I separated the group and came to the pit. I saw that the newly dug pit was about 1.5 meters deep and the width of the pit mouth was almost 2 meters. At the bottom of the pit, there were two earthenware jars, one large and one small, standing side by side, and another one was broken and only half of it was left.

"Third brother, when Wang Jun was digging, he broke the pottery jar with his hoe and dug out some copper coins from it. That's why we dug this pit."

Wang Shi stood beside Shen Qiansan and explained.

Shen Qiansan nodded, wondering why there were three jars buried here. So he asked, "Where are the copper coins?"

Wang Shi immediately pointed to a place next to the pit and said, "They were all placed there. We didn't dare to move them."

"Let's go and take a look!" Shen Qiansan said, and walked over quickly. He saw the ground was full of copper coins with a green stench, piled up randomly on the ground, and many of them were covered with yellow mud.

Wang Shi said, "We don't know what kind of copper coins these are. Please take a look at these three."

As he spoke, he picked up a copper coin from the ground and handed it to Shen Qiansan.

Shen Qiansan took it. The copper coin was badly rusted, and the places with words smelled of copper. It was completely unclear when looking at it this way.

"Wipe it with a cloth!" As soon as Shen Qiansan finished speaking, Li Jing handed him a rag.

Without any hesitation, Shen Qiansan took it and started wiping it.

Soon, the smell of copper was wiped off, revealing the words inside, which read "Kangxi's Treasure".

It's not a valuable ancient coin.

"Three, which dynasty are they from?" Wang Shi asked impatiently.

Shen Qiansan said something, and Wang Shi asked, "Is it worth money?"

Shen Qiansan said: "It can be sold for a few dollars, a little more valuable than the Kangxi Tongbao, not that much."

"It turns out it's worthless!" Wang Shi and others were a little disappointed.

They have basically never seen copper coins with the inscription Kangxi Zhongbao, but many families in this era still have copper coins with the inscription Kangxi Tongbao and Qianlong Tongbao.

However, these copper coins are no longer in circulation and are mostly used to make shuttlecocks for children.

Many children in the 1980s and 1990s have played with this game. It involves inserting a one-inch long chicken feather tube into the hole between two copper coins, and then inserting a dozen chicken feathers into the tube. The copper coins below are wrapped with cloth and then sewn together, and a chicken feather shuttlecock is ready.

That’s how almost all those copper coins were used.

"We thought we had found a treasure, but it turned out to be worthless copper coins!"

"We were so afraid of losing it!"

"If I had known it was worthless, I wouldn't have wasted half a day's work!"

"Pity!"

"..."

Others were also disappointed.

Shen Qiansan said: "There are so many copper coins, maybe there are valuables among them!"

Wang Shi said: "No matter whether it is valuable or not, it belongs to Third Brother. We are just helping to guard it."

People of this era were still relatively simple and honest. They thought that since this was dug out from Shen Qiansan's territory, it naturally belonged to Shen Qiansan.

In the future, things dug out from the ground must be handed over to the state. Everything unearthed belongs to the state. This is stipulated by law.

However, it is only the 1990s, and the country does not pay much attention to this. Unless particularly important cultural relics appear or ancient tombs are unearthed, no one generally cares about the copper coins unearthed.

Shen Qiansan didn't care much about it. He pointed at the two ceramic jars in the pit and asked, "Are there copper coins in those two as well?"

Wang Shi said: "Except for the broken one, we picked up all the copper coins that fell out. We were very careful when we dug the other two and didn't bump them. We didn't touch them after we dug them out. I don't know what was inside them."

After hearing this, Shen Qiansan said, "I'll go take a look."

As he said this, he went back to the edge of the pit and jumped in.

Wang Shi also jumped down.

Shen Qiansan first opened the small ceramic jar, which was filled with copper coins.

However, this jar is better sealed, so the copper coins obviously don't have as much copper smell.

“It’s still copper coins!”

Wang Shi took a look and said disappointedly.

"Copper coins are different from each other!" Shen Qiansan said with a smile, reaching into the jar and taking out a few copper coins.

"Dashun's treasure!"

"Jiajing Yuanbao!"

"Kaiyuan Tongbao"

"..."

Shen Qiansan was delighted. As expected, this small jar contained exquisite items.

Apparently, the owner classified them when burying them.

It seems that the owner also knows about ancient coins.

I just don't know who buried it.

The land here belongs to Cao Shi’s family. Could it be that Cao Shi’s ancestors were buried here?
