Chapter 315 Bezoar, dog treasure! The treasury brought by the eldest brother-in-law (monthly tickets plus updates)
"Thank you, third uncle!" Zhao Zhengyi, the child, responded quickly and thanked him in dialect immediately when he heard that he was going to school.
The little girl Zhao Mingzhu was confused. When she heard what her brother was saying, she followed suit and said, "Thank you, third uncle!"
"You're welcome." Fang Yan responded with a smile.
In the late 1970s, tuition fees per semester were usually around 2-5 yuan.
The tuition fee for primary school is 2.6 yuan per semester. It will increase for senior grades, but it will generally not exceed 10 yuan
In terms of book fees, the book fees per semester also cost a few yuan, which is similar to the tuition level, about 1.5-2.5 yuan.
So in general, the tuition fee plus book fees for one semester is about 5-10 yuan.
There were also some special circumstances at that time. For students from families with financial difficulties, there may be certain fee reduction policies, and there may be some subtle differences in fee standards between different schools, but the differences are not big.
At this time, the eldest brother-in-law said to Fang Yan:
"Brother, I actually prepared something."
“I just don’t know how much money I can exchange in the city?”
When Fang Yan heard this, he was startled and asked:
"What?"
The eldest brother-in-law glanced at the eldest sister. The eldest sister was a little confused at this time and asked the eldest brother-in-law:
"What else is valuable in our home?"
The eldest brother-in-law blushed a little, scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"I don't know if it's worth it."
Seeing this, Fang Yan said to his eldest brother-in-law:
"What is it? Take it out and have a look."
"Okay!" The eldest brother-in-law nodded, and then began to rummage inside the package.
After a while, the eldest brother-in-law took out two black wooden boxes wrapped in sheepskin.
Probably the eldest sister had never seen it before, and a trace of surprise flashed across her face.
The eldest brother-in-law carefully placed it on the dressing table and opened one of them.
Then several pieces of silverware inside were revealed.
The shape is not something Han Chinese at first glance, it is quite exotic.
And it’s very old.
The eldest sister asked in surprise:
"Yuan Korea, where did this come from? Why didn't I know?"
The eldest brother-in-law said:
"I discovered it accidentally when I was grazing on the grassland a few years ago."
"I know the silver should be worth something. You were just pregnant with Mingzhu at that time, so I thought that if anything happens to you, if you keep it here, it can be used as an emergency."
The eldest sister frowned and asked the eldest brother-in-law:
"Then why did you never tell me?"
The eldest brother-in-law scratched his head and whispered:
"If other people find out about this and accuse me of embezzling public property, I will be in jail alone. There won't be no one in our family to take care of our children."
After hearing this, the eldest sister was slightly startled, and then glared at him:
"You big fool!"
Although he was swearing, there was no blame in his tone.
Some just feel sorry for him.
The eldest brother-in-law laughed innocently, "Hey, hey," and didn't refute.
The eldest sister then said:
"You picked this up. What kind of public property is it?"
The eldest brother-in-law shook his head and said:
"That mouth is on someone else's body, and once this wealth is revealed, it means they have the final say. I can't trust them."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Yan looked at him with admiration.
The eldest brother-in-law looks naive, but he actually knows better than anyone else.
The eldest sister Fang Jie said to the eldest brother-in-law:
"Then you will take it out now?"
Zhao Yuanchao glanced at Fang Yan and said to the eldest sister:
"Aren't these brothers in our family? We can trust him."
After speaking, he said to the dialect:
"Brother, your sister and I can't live for free at home. See how much money we can exchange for this. Please help us deal with it."
Fang Yan glanced at those things and said:
"Silver alone can't be exchanged for much money, but you are probably an antique buried with you, so its value will be higher."
"How much is it worth?" the eldest brother-in-law asked, scratching his head.
Fang Yan shook his head and said:
"The price of antiques fluctuates too much. The same thing can sell for two completely different prices. However... I don't recommend that you sell it. This thing is not common. It is too conspicuous and difficult to explain clearly."
Zhao Yuanchao scratched his head when he heard Fang Yan say this.
He thought for a while, closed the box and said:
"Then just listen to my brother and don't sell it."
"I have something else here." He opened another box.
Then a box of "pebbles" inside was revealed.
The eldest sister was startled and didn't understand what this stone was.
But Fang Yan saw it and said in surprise:
"Bezoar?! So many?"
There were at least six or seven dried bezoars in a box, all of which were unused.
Then there is a gray-white, slightly shiny stone with multiple round-like protrusions.
Dialect asked with some uncertainty:
"And this is...Gou Bao?" "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Gou Bao is born in the belly of a leprosy dog. It looks like a white stone with a blue color. Its principles are layered and it is also a rare thing." This one is very similar.
"Brother knows the goods!" The eldest brother-in-law gave a thumbs up.
The eldest sister asked in confusion:
"Bezoar? Goubao? Isn't that a curse word?"
Fang Yan shook his head and said to the eldest sister:
"I'm not swearing. Brother-in-law, this is real stuff. It's Chinese medicine, and it's a very valuable Chinese medicine."
The eldest sister Fang Jie looked at her husband in astonishment and asked:
"Where did this come from?"
The eldest brother-in-law explained honestly:
"The bezoar was given to me by my master. He used to be responsible for killing cattle, so he kept a lot of it."
"This dog treasure is the only one left behind by our old dog who died of illness."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The eldest sister suddenly remembered the old dog and asked:
"Didn't I remember you said you should bury that dog?"
Zhao Yuanchao said:
"At that time, my parents and my brother-in-law and my brother-in-law told me that they had buried waste and insisted on eating meat. At that time, my brother-in-law and my brother-in-law took it and got it. This dog treasure was inside. She thought it was a stone and threw it away. I picked it up and took it away. After showing it to the master, he told me that it was a dog treasure and that it might be useful if I kept it.”
I can tell from the dialect that my brother-in-law, the master of Baji Quan, has seen the world.
He taught my brother-in-law most of his knowledge.
The eldest brother-in-law asked in dialect:
"Can these be sold?"
Dialect nodded:
"Yes, it's easy to sell."
"According to the current market price, one gram can be sold for 40 yuan."
"Ah? How much did you say?" The eldest sister was a little uneasy.
Even the eldest brother-in-law looked stunned.
The couple didn't expect this thing to be so valuable.
Dialect confirmed again:
"40 yuan a gram."
"Then...that's such a pile..." The eldest sister stuttered a little when she spoke. She turned back to look at her husband. The eldest brother-in-law also looked shocked. He didn't expect that such a box of things that the master left for him could actually hold up to him so much. Money from years of sheep herding.
Fang Yan looked at the stunned couple and said to them:
"There is no need to sell them all. The price is rising every year. One pill is enough for your family to use for a while."
"Brother, can you..." The eldest brother-in-law hesitated to speak.
Dialect said:
"If I come to sell, I can only find hospitals. The price will definitely not be as high as retail. You must be mentally prepared."
The eldest brother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He said:
"That's okay, you don't have to eat and drink freely from home, and I also plan to repay the money given by my younger brother."
When Fang Yan heard what his eldest brother-in-law said, he knew that he was a real person and didn't want to owe anything to others.
But now that all these bezoars are sold, it will be a huge loss.
After the market is reopened in a few years, the price of bezoar will continue to rise.
Dialect said to them:
"You don't have to pay back that money in a hurry."
"It is not suitable to sell bezoars all at once, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."
After hearing this, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law nodded in agreement and asked Fang Yan to pick a small one first and exchange it for money.
After discussing the matter of exchanging bezoars for money.
Then everyone came to the main courtyard. At this moment, the two little guys, Zhengyi and Mingzhu, had a good night's sleep and were in much better spirits than yesterday.
When I saw the two puppies in the yard, they immediately started playing together.
After a while, I waited until the rest of the family had washed up.
The family had a meal with the leftovers from last night.
After breakfast, the eldest sister and the whole family followed my father to take the bus back to Haidian.
In the morning they went to the commune to go through some return procedures, and in the afternoon they went to the city to buy clothes.
In the next few days towards the end of the month, their family will first find a school for their children, and then prepare a wedding banquet for the dialect. After the National Day, after finishing the work on writing a book in dialect, they can go to the city bureau to hold a training class. .
The father, eldest sister, and the others had just left, and the family hadn't even gone out yet when Chen Kaige drove over in his car.
This was a good time. Fang Chen planned to go to the publishing house with him first, and then move his family to the dormitory of Beijing Film Studio.
After they were all gone, the rest of the family got ready to go to work.
Fang Yan got on his motorcycle, took his eldest brother-in-law's bezoar, and headed towards the Dashilar Tongrentang store.
PS: Come on, are you guys so powerful? Once you order all of them, the price will increase by 100 yuan.
This chapter is finished, and I still owe everyone 13,000.
No more today, please be early tomorrow.
