Chapter 55: Hire villagers to dig the soil.
Liu Guang felt something was wrong and stood up, frowning.
"Mr. Wang, I have some questions. Why are there so many things from the Song Dynasty here?"
"There are also the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms."
Wang Chen added.
"Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?!"
Liu Guang pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He clapped his hands and said, "I see! You said this is a reservoir. Is it possible that there was a flood in the past, and all the things that washed down from the upper reaches of the river finally gathered in this dead end?"
He had heard of this kind of thing before.
Some dead-end water areas always have deposits of things washed down from upstream.
Especially corpses.
Wang Chen was silent for a few seconds.
He said, "Mr. Liu, do you think it is possible that someone lived down here before?"
"Inhabited? Impossible."
Liu Guang shook his head in denial.
"Well, Mr. Liu, come with me."
Wang Chen took Liu Guang and went down into the pit.
"Look at this wall. Is it from the Song Dynasty?"
"Blue bricks, stone slabs...it's true!" Liu Guang took a few looks and was surprised.
Indeed, they all conform to the firing technology of the Song Dynasty.
"Mr. Liu, I think there is a possibility that there is an ancient house under our feet!"
"Ancient house?!"
A flash of lightning flashed through Liu Guang’s mind.
"Now that you mention it, it's really possible. After all, China has been buried underground for 5,000 years, so many things. If an ancient house was buried by accident, it's not impossible."
"If you think about it this way, everything makes sense!"
He excitedly lay on the wall of the pit and observed carefully.
At this moment, Liu Guang wished he could turn into a drill and drill in to take a look!
Watched for a while.
Wang Chen continued digging.
Liu Guang was very interested and decided to stay at Wang Chen's place to help him hunt for treasure.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
These past two days, Wang Chen has been digging from morning till nine o'clock in the evening.
Liu Guang lost three pounds due to exhaustion.
He became more and more convinced of Wang Chen's idea that there must be an ancient house buried underneath.
Otherwise, why would there be tables, stools and bowls?
Netizens are even more numb.
These are antiques from the Song Dynasty, and Wang Chen dug them out one after another like digging mushrooms.
Jealousy and envy have completely changed netizens' minds!
At this time, the reservoir had been dug up by the two men and was full of pits.
The treasures on the surface have basically been dug up.
But there was still some golden light in the depths, and Wang Chen couldn't do anything about it for the time being.
The small objects dug out in the past two days have piled up into a small hill in the yard.
Wang Chen made a budget and figured that if all the previous sales were added together, the total would be about four and a half million!
This is equivalent to several expensive antiques!
His deeds once again became a hot topic.
#Lao Wang dug out 800 pieces of antiques from the Song Dynasty and 100 pieces of antiques from the Later Zhou Dynasty!! #
There are many collectors below who are bidding to wholesale some antiques.
That night.
Wang Chen invited Liu Guang to his home for dinner.
The family sits together.
Wang Chen suddenly said, "Dad, I need your help."
"What? Just tell me, son."
"Well, I thought about it and decided that it would be better to get some help. I'm too slow to dig the soil by myself."
"Looking for help digging the soil?"
"Yes!" Wang Chen nodded. "After dinner, go to the village and ask if there are any villagers who are free to help me dig the soil. I will pay them by the day, 260 yuan a day."
He specifically asked his friends about this price.
Normally digging and doing odd jobs would only earn 200 yuan even at a construction site, let alone in the village.
There are plenty of people who can work for you even if you pay 150 yuan.
Of course, this is not necessarily the case for young people.
"Okay, that's no problem. I'll go ask you after dinner!"
Dad agreed readily.
What a great thing! This is a favor from his son.
After dinner in the evening, Wang Chen picked out two antique gadgets for Liu Guang.
Dad went to the village to look for someone.
When the farmers heard about this good thing, they still wanted to work for Wang Chen and ran out of their houses to sign up.
For them, the busy farming season only lasts a few months a year.
Some of them go out to work during the rest of the time, while others stay at home to take care of the elderly and children.
Who wouldn’t want to make some money easily at home?
Time has come to another morning.
The weather is not so hot today and there is a gentle breeze.
The reservoir was already filled with villagers carrying their tools early in the morning.
Seeing Wang Chen appear, the villagers greeted him jokingly.
"Hello, Mr. Wang!"
"What should Mr. Wang do? Tell me."
"I'm very strong, you can assign me more tasks!"
"Well, don't worry, everyone gather together first, I'll have a simple meeting... If anyone has dug up something, just put it in the basket in the middle. If not, just keep digging. Everyone pay attention to safety and look out for each other..."
Wang Chen mentioned some precautions.
The villagers were then divided into groups to be responsible for excavating a certain area.
He has almost dug out all the shallow contents of the reservoir.
I'm not worried about it being dug up by the villagers.
His goal is to clean out the entire reservoir!
It's rare to have leisure.
Wang Chen moved a rocking chair and lay on the reservoir to broadcast live while supervising the work. He would go down and take a look at the progress every once in a while.
The weather is refreshing.
The villagers worked hard.
Including the lunch break, I only work ten hours a day.
It’s more than 20 yuan an hour, and it would be embarrassing if you don’t work harder.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Wang Chen drove to the city.
I bought Red Bull, Pulse, mineral water, some anti-heat medicine, and some snacks to replenish energy.
Finally, we found a pretty good hotel restaurant and ordered meals for 150 people.
Two meats, two vegetables and a box of Wuchang rice cost twenty-five yuan per person.
After all, it's physical work, how can you not eat well?
Return to the reservoir.
Wang Chen asked the villagers to unload the goods and temporarily built a rest shed.
"cough."
He cleared his throat.
"I'm telling you, these are for everyone to drink. If anyone is thirsty or hungry, just come and eat. You don't have to go back for lunch. I've ordered food for you at the hotel. You can eat directly under the shed."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!"
"Xiao Chen is good to our village. Many people from the neighboring villages wanted to come but Xiao Chen refused."
"It's wonderful to work for you. It would be great if I could do this for ten years. Haha."
"Hey, Xiaochen, the food is pretty good, with meat and vegetables. It's much better than what I eat at home!"
The villagers were overjoyed.
After eating, he hurried to dig the soil.
Netizens are envious.
"Old Wang is indeed a treasure hunter, he is very generous."
"Anchor, is your village still hiring?"
"What the hell are you thinking? I think you have other intentions than drinking!"
"If Lao Wang gets a few excavators, won't he be able to dig out the ancient house quickly?"
"Do you use an excavator to dig up antiques?"
……
2 p.m.
Hundreds of acres of land seemed to have had a layer of skin peeled off.
The mud on the shore was piled up into a mountain.
The villagers all farm and work on construction sites, so they have plenty of energy.
Wang Chen measured it and found that he had dug about thirty centimeters downwards.
He was a little dissatisfied.
"No, it's still too slow, we need to find some more people!"
Dad suggested:
"Why not just call the women in the village and pay them 180 yuan..."
"This is acceptable."
Wang Jinguang spread the news, and the women in the village excitedly came over with their guns and cannons to dig the ground.
Afterwards, he went to the next village and found fifty men. He did not lower their wages, but paid them according to the normal salary in the village.
Currently, there are 350 villagers working for Wang Chen.
He directly boosted the economy of the entire village with his own efforts.
The village chief was stunned.
At eight o'clock that evening, Wang Chen paid the bill readily.
The wages paid out in one day are nearly 90,000.
The village suddenly became richer.
Time passes day by day.
Day 0.8: Progress meters.
Day 1.9: Progressed to meters.
Day 3: meters.
Day 4.1: meters.
Until noon of the fifth day.
Uncle Niu ran over in a hurry.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen! I found something!"
