Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

After nearly three months of construction, the piles at the Huimin Street construction site have been laid, and at the end of June, excavation of the second layer of muck began.

Unlike the previous layer of soil, which was transported to Yueliangwan Park and Yuliangzhou, this time the second layer of soil, except for the iron-containing pile soil - the gravel mixed soil, was sent to Yuliangzhou.

The usual layers of soil have been pulled under the embankments along the riverside avenue and used for greening.

This is the closest transportation distance to the old city.

Piles of soil were delivered to the site for a week before the normal soil layer was delivered.

When he had nothing to do, Wu Yuansheng would go to Yuliangzhou for a while in the evening.

It's not to compete with others for resources like iron, but to capture some "cicadas".

The period from the end of June to mid-July every year happens to be the season for catching "golden cicadas".

The best time to catch cicadas is from 7:30 pm to 10 pm. If it rains, you will catch more.

This information was told to everyone by Liu Sizhi when they were playing at Hu Zhixiang's ancient porcelain art studio.

Every night they went there, they would find time to grab some.

This is more valuable than iron. If you don't want to eat it after you catch it, you can sell it.

Wu Yuansheng had never caught a "cicada" before. After catching it several times with Liu Sizhi and Hu Zhixiang, he was very familiar with it.

The method is very simple, just bring a big plastic bottle, put some water in it, and add some salt in it.

Under the illumination of a headlamp, after catching the cicadas, throw them into the bottle.

The cicadas that have just crawled out of the soil are the most delicious. Those old cicadas that can fly as adults are not delicious.

When they went to the woods in Yuliangzhou, they basically caught larvae that had just climbed onto the tree trunks.

In two or three hours, if you are lucky, you can catch three or four kilograms.

I went there three times and he basically caught about 200 each time.

It's almost two kilograms.

The current price is 60 cents to 70 cents each.

Two hundred cicadas cost one hundred thirty or forty yuan.

Of course, he was not doing it for money, but mainly to experience life. Those he caught were not sold, but were taken home to eat.

(After deep-frying, the cicadas are still very good to eat. It is said to have great nutritional value and is high in protein. The stalls selling braised vegetables in the vegetable market sell them at very high prices.)

In addition to catching "cicadas", Liu Sizhi said that in autumn, he also caught pheasants in some wild grass in Yuliangzhou.

Use a lamp to illuminate the pheasant at night, as pheasants generally cannot fly, making it much easier to catch than during the day.

Once discovered, it is easy to use the net to catch it.

There has been no greening in the past few years, and the entire "island" is still very deserted. There are several people raising cattle and sheep, as well as wild animals, rabbits, pheasants, etc. When he walked around, he often saw them in some wild grass.

In addition, you can often see groups of wild ducks along the river.

After a week of transporting piles of soil and mixed soil here, the common second layer of soil also began to be transported under the embankment of Yanjiang Avenue in the old city.

(It does not mean that the piles and soil have been transported, but that both types of soil have to be transported during the construction period. It will take at least a week or so before the piles and soil are transported.)

The muck sent to the bottom of the river embankment for greening was also divided into two locations: east and west.

To the east, in the direction of Ermi Factory and Pawnshop Street, is the area where he rented a house before. There is a shipyard nearby.

The west location, opposite the food stalls, is the area where businesswomen used to do business.

The closest distance from the construction site to the west river embankment is less than 1 mile.

However, despite the close proximity, the urban management still did not allow the waste to be transported during the day.

Everyone "works" at night.

By July, the weather is already very hot, and it is a good thing for everyone to not dump soil during the day.

After digging the ordinary soil layer here, he stopped catching cicadas and was basically busy under the river embankment every night.

The west side of the two dumped soil locations was closer to where he lived, so Wu Yuansheng spent most of his time searching there.

Among the people who have been frequently searching in this place recently, besides him, those who come to work overtime at night include Wan Neng, Xue Houhou, Yan Shun, and Lao Chen who lives nearby and joined the treasure hunting industry later than them and dug up treasures at the Porcelain Street construction site. Follow Master Guo.

Yan Shun usually leaves home around 12 o'clock, and everyone else basically stays up all night.

Other colleagues, Hu Zhixiang, Liu Sizhi, Xiao Xie, Sun Jingsun, Wang Liang and others, are almost all located in the east.

(What is mentioned here is only two directions. The actual pouring of soil is from the east and west sides toward the middle. After all, for greening projects along the river, dirt is needed under the river embankment.)

Compared with those on Porcelain Street and Pawnshop Street, the second layer of soil in Huimin Street is dug deeper, and there is obviously a lot more Jun porcelain in it.

Recently, every night I go there, I can pick up a few or several pieces.

Anyone who knows the history of this city knows that during the Yuan Dynasty, troops were stationed in the area of ​​Huimin Street for a long time.

Having an army costs money and requires a lot of living supplies.

Therefore, there are many Yuan Dynasty porcelain or daily necessities produced there.

In his previous life, he had heard others talk about these when he visited antique stalls and saw some Jun porcelain pieces or chicken leg jars from that period.

Just two days ago, each of them had picked up a complete brown-glazed ceramic drumstick jar.

This kind of jar is thin at the bottom and thick at the top, with a pattern like water ripples, similar to the skin of the bones on the bottom of a chicken leg.

(I have picked it up before, and I am talking about items from the Yuan Dynasty.)

Today is July 7. After dinner, he rode a tricycle toward the place where the soil was dumped under the river embankment, as usual.

(Because of the short distance, only two to three hundred meters away from home, and the fact that the river embankment is not as spacious as the garbage dumps in other places, there is no particularly suitable place for parking. He has not driven recently.)

"Boss Wu, come here and eat melon!"

Not far away, before reaching Yanjiang Avenue, Hu Zhixiang saw him at an intersection and greeted him.

At this time, he was standing next to a small truck selling watermelons. Standing next to him were Liu Sizhi, Xue Houhou, and Xiao Xie.

Several of them were eating.

Wu Yuansheng was not polite and walked over directly. After greeting a few people, he took a piece and ate it directly.

There was only one melon that Lao Hu bought, which was relatively large, like a winter melon, and seemed to weigh about 20 kilograms.

"sweet!"

This was Wu Yuansheng's first feeling after eating melon.

The melon was pulpy, and he felt that he had not tasted such sweet watermelon in a long time.

It seems that I only ate this kind of melon when I was a child.

It was still dark at this time, so he looked at the melons placed on the small truck. They looked like winter melons and were quite big. If others didn't tell them, many people might mistake them for winter melons.

There is also a layer of white "frost"-like powdery substance on their surface in some places.
