Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

  Chapter 91 Five Emperors Money

  Li Mo half-spoken, which made everyone unhappy. Niu Sanpang poured a glass of water for Li Mo and said with a smile: "It's okay anyway, tell us, what's the secret of those ancient coins?"

   "What secrets can ancient coins have?"

   Li Mo drank his saliva.

   "Then why did you pick thirty-five coins all at once?"

   "San Fatty, did you find someone to set up any Feng Shui arrays before your company opened?"

   "Of course, and it still cost a lot of money. A well-designed Feng Shui array can't be done without one hundred and eighty thousand appearance fees, but what does this have to do with the ancient coins you chose?"

  Li Mo said helplessly: "Your family is all in business, have you heard the rumors of using 'Five Emperors' money' to suppress Feng Shui?"

   "What is the five emperors' money?"

  Niu Sanpang shook his head, his cheeks shaking.

  Xu Jiaxin immediately rolled her eyes at him, and said softly: "The five emperors' money has the functions of avoiding disasters, blessing, praying for blessings, blocking evil spirits, preventing villains, avoiding evil spirits, and prospering wealth."

  "Five emperors' money gathers more of the spirit of heaven, earth, and people, plus the wealth of hundreds of families, so it can town house, eliminate evil spirits, and also has the function of wealth.

   "Miss Xu has studied it?"

   These are all miscellaneous knowledge, and I didn't expect her to be able to tell a little bit.

"Before I opened my tea shop, I found a Fengshui master. At that time, he told me that the best magic weapon for setting up a formation is the five emperors' coins. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to collect the real five emperors' coins. The handicraft product Five Emperors Coin will be used instead."

Li Mo nodded and continued: "In ancient times, copper coins were cast according to the 'outer circle and inner square', and 'heaven and man are one'. Whichever is like the law of heaven and earth is the concrete embodiment of the ancient theory of yin and yang and five elements. Cultural attributes. In the folk, there has always been the custom of using ancient copper coins to drive away evil spirits and attract good fortune. Usually, five copper coins are strung together to represent the power of the five directions and five elements."

   "Young Master Li, you mean that there are so many ancient coins selected just now, and there are real five emperor coins in them?"

"Yes, the five emperors' coins that are circulated among the people usually refer to the five copper coins minted in the Qing Dynasty, namely Shunzhi Tongbao, Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao. , has the meaning of five blessings and treasures."

  Li Mo patted his backpack, "However, the copper coins I picked out just now are not handed down from ancient times. They need to go back for special treatment, and then let them absorb the essence of the sun and the moon."

   "Well, Young Master Li, can you give me a set of five emperors' money, I will put it on my body or the company."

   "Okay, but I can only give you a set of small five emperors' money, and I will keep the big five emperors' money for myself."

   "Ah, the five emperors' money is also divided into big five emperors and small five emperors?"

   "Did you forget why the word 'Kaiyuan Tongbao' is hidden on the surface of Concubine Yang's bracelet? Because currency represents the fortune of the country, so it has various meanings such as suppressing feng shui."

"The small five emperors' money is the currency minted in the five dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, while the big five emperors' money refers to Qin Banliang, Han five baht, Tang Kaiyuan Tongbao, Northern Song, Song Yuan Tongbao and Ming Yongle Tongbao. Think about it for yourself. How can the small five emperors' money compare with the big one? Is the five emperors' money better? One Qin Banliang can get the little five emperors' money."

   "It's just that there are too few Qin Banliang, Han Wuzhu, and Tang Kaiyuan Tongbao. In the Ming Dynasty, the copper coins minted due to the legacy of the war in the Hongwu period were too low in quality and were rarely handed down, so Yongle Tongbao was used instead."

   "I was lucky today, and I picked out a set of Big Five Emperors coins from so many ancient coins."

   While chatting, three cups of coffee were served.

   "Li Mo, there are too many people outside. Should we change the place? After all, Si Rui is a big star, and being recognized will cause unnecessary trouble."

  Xu Jiaxin is thinking about Qin Sirui.

   "It's okay, you should be fine if you pay attention." Qin Sirui gently stirred the coffee with a small spoon. The toad mirror on her face has been taken off, but the mask is still on.

  Li Mo turned his head and glanced at the waiter not far away. The person who delivered the coffee just now was whispering something to his colleagues, and several people kept looking over here from time to time.

   "We'll leave after we finish the coffee. Do you have a good place to go San Pang?"

Niu Sanpang thought for a while before saying: "Si Rui's status is quite special, and he will attract people's attention wherever he goes. If we go out of the city, there are many farms in the suburbs, and some farmhouses provide special barbecues and the like. Picking, fishing, that's good."

   "Miss Si Rui, what do you think?"

   "Actually, you don't have to worry about me."

   "Then let's make this decision. After drinking coffee, we will go to the suburban farm for a stroll."

  Around eleven o'clock in the morning

  Two cars drove into a farm in the suburbs. Sanpang knew the owner here. As soon as the car stopped, a woman in her thirties came to greet her.

   "Boss Niu, I haven't been here for a while. Distinguished guests, welcome to our farm.

   "Sister Zhang, have the firewood chicken and firewood fish been put into the pot, right? These three are my friends, and I brought them here to play and relax."

   "Of course, do what Boss Niu ordered with your heart, and it will be ready to eat in 20 minutes. I'll take you there, this way please."

  There is a row of tile-roofed houses in the farm, divided into many single rooms, each with its own earthen stove, dining table and chairs. Here you can do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, or order dishes for the chef to prepare.

   "It's quite complete."

  Looking at Li Mo for a week, there are two large stoves and two small stoves. The big stove cooks vegetables and the small stove stews soup.

  A male chef in his forties is cooking chicken and fish.

   "Li Shao, how is it here?"

   "It's a bit pastoral." Li Mo put down his backpack and said, "Sister Zhang, please prepare a toothpaste and toothbrush for me, I will use it later."

   "Okay, I'll get someone to bring it over."

  Li Mo poured water into the small pot with his hands, and then set it on fire. Then pour all the copper coins in the bag into the pot and cover the pot.

   Boil copper coins?

  The chef next to him had a weird look on his face, wondering if there is something wrong with this young man's head.

   "Young Master Li, what do you need me to do?"

   "Take a larger basin and pour two bottles of white vinegar. Use another basin and add a little baking soda."

   "It's simple, leave it to me."

   After a while, Niu Sanpang finished all the things he had explained, and Li Mo took out the Erlong Xizhu bracelet from his bag, and put it into the clean water mixed with baking soda. "

   "Young Master Li, you also found this at Liulichang?"

   "The ones that came out of the imperial palace in the late Qing Dynasty have no collection value, so they can be given away to wear after processing."

  Niu Sanpang's subconscious reaction was to look at Qin Sirui, but there was nothing unusual on her face.

   "Mr. Niu, here is what Li Shao asked for. I'll ask someone to make a pot of high-quality tea and deliver it later."

   "Thank you, Miss Zhang."

  The water in the small pot was already tumbling, making the dull sound of copper coins hitting the iron pot.

   "Li Shao, how long does it take to cook?"

   "The longer the cooking time, the better the effect of this first step of rust removal."

   After boiling the water for about ten minutes, Li Mo used a colander to filter the thirty-five copper coins into cold water, and finally poured them into a basin of white vinegar to soak.

  It takes more than 20 minutes for the copper coins to be soaked. Li Mo took out some wrapped cotton cloth from his bag. These were prepared a long time ago. He took out a piece and spread it on the table. Then squeeze a little toothpaste and take out the Erlongxizhu bracelet to clean it.

   Originally gray, dull, and a little rusty, the bracelet gradually revealed its true appearance after cleaning.

  The silver is translucent, and the dragon head is golden.

   "As expected of a masterpiece from the imperial palace, this dragon head is flexible and lifelike." Niu Sanpang looked at it with greedy eyes. Although it has no collection value, it has a relationship with the royal family anyway.

   Li Mo rinsed it with clean water, wiped it clean with a towel, and exposed it to the sunlight that came in. It was purely handmade, exquisite and beautiful.

   "Mr. Zhang, have you brewed Biluochun tea before Ming Dynasty?"

  A woman in a cheongsam came in with tea and skillfully poured out four cups.

   "Boss Niu, we don't have kung fu tea here, so we just do as the Romans do, but the tea is the best Mingqian Biluochun, how about the taste?"

   "Okay, Miss Zhang, go and do your work first, you don't need to accompany us."

   "Okay, contact me if you need anything."

  Li Mo put the Erlong Xizhu bracelet on the cotton cloth, took a sip from the teacup, and a fragrance rose. This is really good tea.

  But when his eyes fell on the teapot inadvertently, he found something special.
