"The treasure your father and stepmother have been looking for?"
Qiao Baozhu was not very curious about the things in the box, but when she heard that this was what her father-in-law, whom she had never met, was looking for, she immediately became interested.
In her previous life, she had never heard of such a thing.
If this thing wasn't given to Qiao Xifeng, then Bai Hongmei and her mother certainly didn't have it either. Otherwise, given the high-profile nature of these two people, a fight would definitely break out.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Xiao opened the box.
Seeing what was in the box, Qiao Baozhu couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Gold bars! These are gold bars."
It's not that Qiao Baozhu has never seen gold bars before, but she has never seen this old-style gold bar, the legendary "big yellow croaker".
She made money back then and bought investment gold bars and gold ingots at the bank.
"Tsk tsk, old things still look valuable."
Qiao Baozhu couldn't help but put the big yellow croaker to her mouth and took a big bite. She shook a few large yellow croakers and couldn't help stretching her neck to look into the box.
"Such a big box, but it only holds these few gold bars?"
Shen Xiao was amused, looking at the money-obsessed young wife: "Twenty gold bars are not enough?"
"This is a large yellow croaker from the Republic of China period. At that time, one catty was equal to 16 taels. A large yellow croaker weighed 10 taels, which is equivalent to more than 6 taels today."
A large yellow croaker weighs 312 grams, and Shen Xiao has a total of twenty of them, which is almost 12 and a half pounds.
Qiao Baozhu calculated and couldn't help but smack her lips: "These big yellow croakers can be sold for more than 200,000 yuan."
More than 200,000 in the 1970s, that was a huge purchasing power.
Qiao Baozhu can open any factory she wants.
Her eyes sparkled, and she excitedly held the big yellow croaker and kissed it madly: "I'm rich, I'm rich."
Chen Xiao looked at Qiao Baozhu lovingly as she held the gold bar and kissed it madly, and said with a smile: "Are you satisfied with just this little bit of gold bar?"
Qiao Baozhu looked at Shen Xiao in surprise, and then she noticed that he was holding an inconspicuous black cloth bag in his hand.
Shen Xiao put the cloth bag next to Qiao Baozhu's ear and shook it, allowing her to hear the clinking sounds inside.
"Big money?"
Qiao Baozhu widened her eyes and took a breath: "Five Emperors' coins or something like that? Copper coins?"
After saying this, Qiao Baozhu felt that she was being petty.
If it was an ordinary copper coin, would it be so important for Shen Xiao’s father, a high-ranking official, to miss it so much?
She snatched the bag of copper coins. With a backhand flick, coins of various colors fell onto the table.
Qiao Baozhu didn't know much about antiques, but she had followed the trend and gone to an auction house in her previous life. She has seen the world and knows which silver coins are more valuable.
"Oh, this Yuan Datou seems to be very expensive."
Qiao Baozhu first picked out a dozen Yuan Datou coins, held them in her hands and looked at Shen Xiao eagerly: "Which one is the most valuable among them?"
Shen Xiao shook his head: "I don't know, and Grandpa doesn't understand either. He said that Yuan Datou only issued these in total, and he kept one of each, just as a souvenir."
"Look at this. This is Zhongshan coin. It was also issued during the Republic of China period. Grandpa said that there are several silver dollars here that are from the founding of the country. Any silver dollars from the founding of the country and the first set are of commemorative value."
"There is also this book with a few stamps inside. It is well preserved, but I don't know if the stamps from that time can be used now."
Shen Xiao's few casual words made Qiao Baozhu's blood boil.
He really didn't know how valuable these things the old man left for him were.
No wonder her father-in-law and stepmother-in-law have always disliked Shen Xiao, but they dare not offend him.
This guy has so much money in his hands, it's like a treasure.
"Take a look at the stamps in this little book and see when you have time to go to the post office and ask if the old stamps can be used now. If they can't be used, it doesn't matter. You can leave them to your children as a souvenir."
Shen Xiao then stuffed the stamp album into Qiao Baozhu's hands, and Qiao Baozhu was so excited that she didn't dare to speak.
"What's that expression on your face? What's wrong?"
Shen Xiao saw Qiao Baozhu trembling with excitement and thought she was sick.
"Qing, Qing dragon note?"
