A treasure-appraisal maniac

Lu Fei and Gao Yuan went down to the left ear room and opened the first copper box, which was filled with Pu'er tea cakes in bamboo baskets.

The sealing date marked on the seal of the bamboo basket is the third day of June in the 29th year of Hongwu, which is 800 years ago.

The sound of 800-year-old Pu'er can scare a person to death.

Currently, the highest transaction price for China’s aged Pu’er is 23 million per barrel for Fuyuanchang.

There were only four tea cakes in that bucket, and it was exactly one hundred years old. It was regarded as the king of tea in China.

That one is a hundred years old tea, and the one in front of me is eight hundred years old.

Comparing the two, the so-called tea king is simply a millet dregs and has no qualifications to be a younger brother.

And this is just one of the values ​​​​of these Pu'er teas.

What’s even more awesome about these teas is that they come from “Hongfu Hao.”

This Hongfu account is so awesome.

In the second year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yunnan tea merchant Chen Hongfu founded Hongfu Tea Shop and devoted himself to making a kind of good tea, that is Pu'er.

It was not until the Qing Dynasty entered the customs that the Hongfu ship offended Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi. In order to survive, the Hongfu ship fell apart and then withdrew from the stage of history.

During this period of more than 400 years of history, the Hongfu was the most famous ship in China.

Especially in the Ming Dynasty, the reputation of Hongfu reached its peak.

Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who drinks Pu'er must be served exclusively by Hongfu, and other brands simply disdain it.

Hongfu Hao's Pu'er is divided into four levels: "Heaven, Earth, and Humanity".

Each major level is divided into four minor levels: "A, B, C, and D".

Regardless of level, ordinary people cannot afford to drink.

According to folklore, one tael of tea leaves and one tael of gold were produced in Hongfu during the Hongwu period.

As for the Tianzi brand, even high-ranking officials and nobles may not be able to drink it.

And the boxes in front of Lu Fei were all filled with the best from Tianzijia.

Forced existence.

Later, the Sanbao eunuchs went to the West and went to Southeast Asia with the scraps of tea leaves and foam that were fed to the pigs on the Hongfu ship, and made a lot of money.

In today's Pu'er world, the Hongfu Hao of those years is also a prestigious presence.

Lu Fei was sure that if the tea cakes here were put up for auction, the figures would be nine figures in a minute, and he would have to break his fucking head to grab them.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gao Yuan plays big.

This time I really played Dafa.

With this box of Pu'er tea, this trip is definitely worth a thousand dollars.

After the shock, Lu and Fei took out the bamboo baskets one by one to count them.

There are seven tea cakes in a bamboo basket. There are three rows of twenty-four baskets on one layer. There are two layers in total. The whole box is forty-eight baskets.

Lu Fei weighed it and found that a basket weighed about five kilograms, and this box weighed more than two hundred and forty kilograms, which was awesome.

Lu Fei opened a basket and unpacked the tea cakes to check the quality.

Lu Fei is no stranger to Pu'er tea, and he can tell at a glance that these tea cakes are made from fine large-leaf Pu'er tea greens. They have clear lines, light oil sheen, and strong tea aroma. They are definitely the best of the best.

Use your fingernails to dig out a little bit and put it in your mouth to chew. It is slightly bitter with a sweet aftertaste, and the mouthful is full of raw fragrance and tastes great.

"Brother Gao, this tea is really good. Let's use it to cook tea eggs every day when we get back."

"You're poor, aren't you? Hurry up and see what the other boxes are. There are so many boxes. It's time to move them down the mountain. Don't waste time."

Opening the boxes one by one, the two brothers were completely shocked to find that they were all the same Pu'er tea from Hongfu.

Damn it!

So much, even if cooked

You can’t use up all the tea eggs in a lifetime!

Make a fortune!

After all inspections were completed, the two of them did not dare to delay. They tied the boxes with safety ropes and asked the tall and powerful Ma Tengyun above to carry them up one by one, and immediately moved them down the mountain in batches.

It took a full two hours to transport all thirty-six boxes.

After transporting it down the mountain, Lu Fei and Gao Yuan carefully inspected it and determined that there was no other harvest in this ear chamber. They took a cigarette and took a rest, then bypassed the main tomb chamber and came to the right ear chamber.

The right ear chamber was the same size as the left ear chamber. Lu Fei was immediately disappointed when he came inside.

All weapons are placed here.

Single swords, spears, hooks and sickles, armors, etc. Although these things are valuable when taken out, Lu Fei has no interest in them.

The weapons were rusty and of rubbish quality.

There are so many sad embroidered spring knives and flintlock rifles from the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty in my hometown in Jincheng. Compared with those, the ones here are all garbage.

The things were of average value and extremely heavy, so Lu Fei really looked down upon them.

Just as he was about to leave, Lu Fei saw a rare object in the well.

Firegun!

Walking over and taking a look, Lu Fei's eyes suddenly lit up.

There are two single-eyed fire guns placed here.

It is about one meter long and is just an iron pipe. There is something like a pipe hoop about a foot away from the end, and there is a small hole on it that serves as a fuse.

When using it, fill the gunpowder through the nozzle at the front end, and then pour the gun sand. Here, light the fuse from this small hole, and blast the marbles to fly together. It can kill people within ten steps. It is completely inoperable at any distance.

This thing is extremely rare. There are quite a few three-eyed fire blunderbuss in major museums in the later period, but there are really only a few single-eyed ones.

What is even more valuable is that,

There are actually inscriptions engraved on it.

"Made by Fengyang Xingban, weighing three catties and eight taels, under the supervision of Zhenfu Liu He, the teaching craftsman Chen Youcai, and the military craftsman Cui Yu, it was made on August 13th in the eleventh year of Hongwu."

With these inscriptions, the origin and time of this firecracker are clear, and its value is doubled.

Look at the other firegun that also has inscriptions and is from the same batch as this one. This is a good item.

The fire gun is used as a second strike weapon after a round of bows and arrows, and it is also used to prepare for the last round of attacks before hand-to-hand combat.

In other words, there was a round of bows and arrows, then a fire cannon, and finally there was an exchange of knives and swords. Zhu Yuanzhang already had a separate fire cannon team in the early days of establishing the Ming Dynasty.

By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the world's best cavalry "Guan Ning cavalry" had begun to be equipped with a three-eyed gun.

As the most powerful cavalry unit of the Ming Dynasty, it is true that they are brave and brave, and the three-eyed fire blunderbuss in their equipment may seem simple, but it greatly improves the combat effectiveness of the army.

First, compared with the early fire gun, it has three rounds of firepower that can be used, so that the firepower can cover fifty steps away, and due to the shape of this firearm, Guan Ning's cavalry will grab it upside down if the enemy is too close after firing. Just use it as a hammer.

The non-cavalry will follow the instructions of the drum and fire three rounds in coordination with the soldiers with long weapons to kill the enemy fifty steps away.

The best killing distance is thirty to twenty steps, with lead shot inside and gunpowder fired.

It began to become the standard weapon of the army during the Wanli period, so in the TV series, we only see swords and spears in the Ming Dynasty troops, which is nonsense.

Firearms from the Ming Dynasty are quite popular in today’s collection world.

Especially foreigners with big noses cannot move even when they see these things.

Don't talk about others, even Kong Fanlong of Guanhai Mountain would not be able to move his eyes away if he saw these two fire guns with inscriptions.
