Chapter 282 [Luxury Tableware]
There is no more pleasant thing than a bottle of cold beer at dinner, which is more pleasant for a dusty servant who has been working outside all day with shovels and picks. Everyone sat together drinking cold beer and eating mutton and chatting about today's harvest.
The servant who was responsible for digging the sloth bear's lair, which is the kitchen of this temple ruins, got a huge harvest, and the reward was indispensable. However, although the excavation progress of the other groups was relatively smooth, they found nothing except some white human bones. The huge gap was incredible.
Are all the gold treasures concentrated in the center of the temple ruins? The surrounding stone buildings are all ordinary rooms. Except for the bones of the dead, nothing was found, which made those people feel very disappointed. They sighed and looked at the cheerful faces of the colleagues who unearthed the gold treasure, and they couldn't help but feel angry.
But who makes people’s lives good? The servants who had found nothing looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts. You must dig hard tomorrow, dig deep, and you must dig something, otherwise you will have to laugh to death from these people.
Of course, the main reason is the issue of rewards. Who doesn’t want their family’s property to be large enough? Who doesn't want their family to live a better life? Bicycles are also a very practical means of transportation and one of the most important possessions.
Who wouldn't be happy to get a bicycle for free as a reward? I don’t need it myself, but the people in my children’s family also don’t need it. Anyway, these people sitting next to Belsinger have different ideas and secretly compete with each other. In any society composed of people, there will be competitors. It's not a big deal. Can't we just develop in a good direction?
So everyone finished eating and drinking and had a good time, then returned to their tents, got into the mosquito nets and fell asleep. Of course, the night watchman will hide in the dark with an AK47, always observing the surrounding movements to prevent the prying eyes of wild beasts or others.
People who own the temple ruins carry out sneak attacks to ensure everyone's safety. Guards will be changed every four hours. Anyway, there are many open and hidden sentries. If anyone dares to rashly break into the guarded area, whether it is a human or a beast, he will be shot on the spot. If he is killed, he will be killed. What's the big deal.
Because he got what he wanted, Belsinger was very happy and in a very happy mood. This sleep was called happy or at ease. I slept until dawn without even dreaming. I got up from bed at about 8 o'clock in the morning, washed my face, had breakfast, drank tea from a thermos, and sat on a stone to watch the servants who looked like human-shaped excavators. Digging with a spade and a pickaxe.
Now that it is clear that this sloth bear's lair is the location of the kitchen, in addition to those gold and silver utensils, there are also many pottery or porcelain that will definitely appear. With a history of thousands of years, whether it is a broken pottery bowl or a pottery pot, they are rare antiques.
If it's sent to auction, even if it's tattered, it's still worth some money. It’s enough to cover all the expenses of this excavation, so why not? It's all money, and mosquito legs are also meat, so the old housekeeper took the initiative early in the morning and arranged a new team of people. The number of workers digging in the kitchen was increased from five to eight. The number of people who entered the stone kitchen to dig alone was more than Four.
Two people transported the soil and two people screened it, so that no detail was missed, because the excavation work yesterday was too rough. There were slash marks on the huge earrings worn by men, and a scratch on the fine gold artwork.
It will affect the selling price of this work of art to some extent. Even if it is sent to auction, it is still a flaw, so all those who dig up treasures are extra careful this time. The shovels used were used to excavate the inside bit by bit, but because the workload was too large and we were cautious for fear of damaging the things inside, the progress was really slow.
But that's how excavation work is. Everything is buried under the soil. Who knows what will be dug up with a shovel. Even these gold works of art are metal and very hard, but compared to steel, gold is much softer. It will be troublesome to leave traces. In order to ensure the income of the Singer family, the mining speed is slow, but this is the only way to wait.
The whole morning's excavation has passed like this, and the things unearthed are all kinds of things, including wooden furniture from thousands of years ago, although it has rotted. But there are still some wood residues, some plant residues, and some broken pottery of various kinds, but the styles of these pottery are the most ordinary, not even glazed, they are just ordinary monks Tools used.
Even though it has a history of thousands of years, it is not worth a lot of money and can only meet the current expenses. I didn't expect to get together for dinner at noon. The workers who were digging outside got an unexpected harvest. They actually dug a storage room. The storage room was filled with jars and jars.
More than 40% of these jars were broken, but 60% were intact, and there were a dozen jars as big as watermelons that were well sealed. After opening it, there were actually plant seeds inside, which looked like wheat and rice.
Of course, the seeds of these plants have been carbonized and turned into a pitch-black mess of no use. However, so many pottery jars made thousands of years ago are relatively good antiques and can be considered an unexpected harvest. This makes the excavator workers feel very happy. Yesterday, I was still ahead of them. I didn't expect to be kicked out by these colleagues today. Come up.
Everyone encouraged each other, gave up the lunch break, and continued to work with shovels and pickaxes. Because the temperature was too humid, they sweated in their clothes, and it felt particularly uncomfortable to be wet, so everyone was naked except for a pair of pants.
Usually when digging the soil, these workers would communicate with each other and tell jokes to each other, but this afternoon, they were all silent. There was only the sound of shovels and pickaxes, and no more extra words, which made Belsinger happy and a little worried about everyone's mood.
When he was about to discuss countermeasures with the old housekeeper to suppress the signs of this competitive behavior, he didn't expect to get an unexpected harvest. The workers who were digging carefully slowly inserted their shovels into the soil and then turned them over.
They were put in a rattan basket and planned to transport it out to see if there were any small treasures left in it. But he didn't expect that the shovel in his hand actually made a tooth-grinding crunching sound, which made everyone present feel that their ears were like rabbits and immediately stood up.
There is no mistake in the content of the first post. Check it out in the 6-9 book forum!
Belsinger and the old housekeeper also stopped talking and stared at the kitchen ruins that had been excavated 2/3 of the way, to see what the sound of metal collision that made people feel teeth ache was. When the digging workers below heard this sound, they gave up all their tools, gathered around, and started digging with their hands.
