Chapter 48

"Junior Brother, have you found anything?" Seeing his junior brother's panic-stricken appearance, Cheng Ge was startled.

"Look here!" Zhang Kai pointed at the large copper coin, excitedly saying.

"Great Qi? Great Qi! Is this the Great Qi Tongbao?" Geng Ergge shouted in surprise after reading the characters on it.

"Take it down, quickly! Quickly take it down." Cheng Ge said immediately after seeing the characters.

Thus, the three of them, without the owner's consent, dismantled the copper coin sword right in front of Wang Yong. As soon as the rope was cut, the copper coin sword immediately fell apart. The three of them, ignoring everything else, stared intently at the unusually large copper coin inscribed with "Great Qi." Zhang Kai took it first, carefully turning it over.

"Tongbao!" The three exclaimed simultaneously, their expressions agitated.

"Quick, call Old Li. Let him see if this is really the Great Qi Tongbao." Cheng Ge said, his voice trembling. The Great Qi Tongbao was already extremely rare, with only two discovered so far. The one they found today should be a mother coin, which would be much more valuable than ordinary coins, both in terms of artistic, historical, and economic value.

The three of them took out their phones and started making calls. Wang Gang, who had no interest in this, was very interested in watching cartoons with Geng Ergge's son on the computer. Wang Yong glanced over and saw "The Brothers" (《海尔兄弟》). He had watched it several times as a child, and it was a very good classic cartoon. Watching this cartoon could teach children a lot, truly combining education with entertainment.

"Uncle, sit here. Do you like watching cartoons too?" The little boy was very polite, pointing to the sofa next to him.

"Yes! Uncle loves watching them. Can you tell Uncle your name?"

"My name is Zhuangzhuang."

"Oh! Do you like watching cartoons?"

"Yes! But my parents often don't let me watch." He pouted, looking very troubled.

"Hehe, Uncle was like that when he was young too. When you grow up, like Uncle, you can watch as much as you want, and no one will say anything."

"Wow! Uncle, you're so lucky!" Zhuangzhuang said, full of envy.

"Ah! This episode is starting!"

"Uncle, what are young soldiers?"

"Young soldiers are... "

"Watch properly, no talking." Wang Gang, who was enjoying it, angrily said to the two of them.

Wang Yong and Zhuangzhuang looked at each other and smiled softly. Wang Yong remembered a domestic TV series he had watched as a child called "Young Special Agents" (《少年特工》). It was about a group of children who, after training, participated in military exercises. It was often broadcast during the summer. Every time this TV series was on, Wang Yong and his friends would sit in front of the TV from start to finish, even staying to watch the credits, hoping it would continue. Wang Yong still remembered the song clearly: "Holding a submachine gun, wearing camouflage, we are... " and the now famous "Listen to Mom's Stories of the Past" (《听妈妈讲那过去的故事》) which he first heard from this TV series. At that time, Wang Yong envied the main characters a lot, often fantasizing about one day being able to carry a gun every day, which would be so impressive! It was probably banned now, and he hadn't seen it for many years.

Wang Yong quickly shook his head, came back to his senses, and immersed himself in the world of animation. Just as the three of them were enjoying it, Zhang Kai called out: "Wang Yong, come over! Quickly!"

Wang Yong reluctantly glanced at the computer and turned to walk towards Zhang Kai.

"What is it? Do I have to come over?" Wang Yong, who was enjoying the classic animation, was very unhappy that Zhang Kai interrupted him.

Zhang Kai looked at Wang Yong and said, "We three can't determine if this copper coin is real, so we want to go to Old Li and ask him to authenticate it. What do you think?"

"Oh! You guys go, I won't. Wang Gang, let's go! Zhuangzhuang, goodbye. Come to Uncle's place when you have time; Uncle has a lot of fun things there!"

"Uncle, goodbye!" The little boy, clearly focused on the cartoon, didn't even look up. This made Wang Yong very awkward but helpless.

"Wang Yong, this isn't right! If this thing is real, it's worth at least tens of millions!" Geng Ergge's words made Wang Yong happy. If this thing was really worth tens of millions, his super greenhouse eco-restaurant could be started immediately. Starting now, he could complete part of it before the Spring Festival.

"Alright! Brother Kai, I'll leave this thing to you. If it's real, help me sell it. I don't collect, so it's not useful to me. Better to turn it into cash and feel more secure." Wang Yong's words made the three of them roll their eyes. This was a suspected Great Qi Tongbao! Really, in his hands, it was a waste!

In the end, Zhang Kai took the Great Qi Tongbao mother coin. However, he dragged Wang Gang along to be a witness. Wang Yong returned to his uncle's house and continued watching cartoons in Wang Gang's room, reminiscing about the good old days.

When Wang Qian and Yuan Yuan returned, it was already past 6 PM. They had been shopping all day and brought back a large number of bags, including clothes, cosmetics, and jewelry. Yuan Yuan bought Wang Yong a down jacket, and Wang Qian bought him a pair of shoes. They immediately demanded that Wang Yong reimburse them. In the end, a pair of ordinary domestic sports shoes cost Wang Yong 5,000 yuan. After emptying Wang Yong's wallet, the girl finally let him go and went upstairs, giving Wang Yong and Yuan Yuan some time alone.

During dinner, Wang Yong mentioned that he planned to visit some of Beijing's major attractions the next day. Wang Qian, who had received 5,000 yuan from her brother, nodded and promised to arrange everything to make Wang Yong satisfied. As Wang Yong and Yuan Yuan listened to Wang Qian vividly describe some of Beijing's delicious and fun places, Wang Yong's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Wang Gang.

"Wang Yong, you're rich! I'm telling you, the tiger talisman and the copper coin have been confirmed as genuine." Wang Gang's excited voice came through the phone.

Wang Yong had long known that these two items were definitely genuine, so he wasn't as excited as Wang Gang and said calmly, "Then find someone to sell them. Leave me 50 million, and the rest is yours."

"Cut it out! Don't talk to your brother like that. If you want to sell, I'll help you find a buyer, but don't talk about money, it hurts feelings!"

"Alright, you decide. You're a fool, even free money you don't want." With that, Wang Yong hung up the phone.

Over the next two days, Wang Yong and Yuan Yuan followed Wang Qian to several attractions. To be honest, before coming, he was very curious, but after visiting once, the novelty wore off, and it was just so-so. Especially with each attraction being crowded, some places required long queues. For example, the Military Museum, which Wang Yong had planned to visit. Who, as a boy, hasn't dreamed of being a general? So most boys are somewhat interested in military matters. However, upon arriving at the museum, the overwhelming crowd immediately dampened Wang Yong's enthusiasm. There were at least 2,000 people, and buses kept bringing more tourists. Fortunately, Wang Qian made a call, and a staff member let them in through the employee entrance.

The trip wasn't very enjoyable, but the food was definitely satisfying. Roast lamb from Kao Rou Ji, duck from Quanjude, hot pot from Donglai Shun, and fried sauce noodles... Over the two days, they ate a variety of delicious foods, and Wang Yong felt he had gained at least three pounds. He had planned to visit Da Wei, but thinking about how he was preparing to quit with his master, he decided not to disturb him.

For dinner that night, the three of them had a French meal. Wang Qian insisted that with a rich brother, she finally had the chance to "rob the rich," so they went to a supposedly top French restaurant. However, when the so-called French cuisine was served, Wang Yong took one bite and didn't want to use the knife and fork anymore. He really couldn't get used to it. The roast meat still had blood, the foie gras was good, but the snails were unbearable. Wang Yong didn't like eating snails, and since they looked so similar, he gave all the snails to Wang Qian, who enjoyed them. The truffles finally suited Wang Yong's taste, and he ordered both white and black truffles, which were indeed very fragrant. Wang Yong admitted he was a country bumpkin, as he didn't know how to describe the taste beyond it being good. To be able to eat this regularly in the future, Wang Yong bought a few fresh truffles from the restaurant and, when they left, secretly planted them on the mountain in the small world.

Back home, Uncle Two was still nowhere to be seen. Auntie had returned and made a few dishes. Seeing the three of them return, she said, "You're back! Quickly wash your hands and eat! Wang Yong, don't spoil Qianqian so much. What's so good about Western food? It's so expensive."

"That's because we haven't tried it before. We're just trying something new and gaining some knowledge. If I had to eat that every day, I'd rather eat instant noodles every day." Wang Yong really didn't like Western food, and one try was enough. This meal cost him nearly 10,000 yuan, and from then on, he completely avoided Western food.

House is very busy with work, often working overtime, so he usually writes one chapter a day. His typing speed is very slow, so he can't update as frequently as others. House doesn't have many requirements for readers, but today, when he searched the website, he found that there were rewards, which made him very happy. He sincerely thanks all the friends who supported him. Thank you for your support.
