Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 139 139. Harvest Season

The process of cleaning up cultural relics is boring and requires patience and concentration.

But after cleaning up, looking at the exquisite items in my hands, I will be filled with an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

However, no matter how difficult it is to clean up the silt and other impurities, with the help of many people, the project is about to be completed.

Tang Qinqin looked at the ancient porcelain full of simplicity in front of him with some reluctance. It was painted with delicate and exquisite patterns. He was once again impressed by the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancient craftsmen.

After the cultural relics in her hands were cleaned, she handed them over to the cultural relics protection personnel, and then stood aside quietly looking at the damaged porcelain, lacquerware, etc. that had been initially repaired.

"Hey, Qinqin, have you heard about it?" Yang Qing also finished his work, came over and said in Tang Qinqin's ear: "I just heard someone say that the sunken ship we salvaged before was not always in progress. Is it a protective excavation? The progress of the work is relatively slow, and a total of eighty or ninety cultural relics have been unearthed so far. But all these cultural relics disappeared last night, and now the relevant departments are investigating the situation."

"Real or false?" Tang Qinqin was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face, "So many cultural relics were quietly taken away without any trace?"

"I heard that a total of five or six surveillance locations were collectively destroyed. That person had a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance and packaged himself very tightly. It was not clear who he was."

"Do you think there may be internal thieves? The security measures in places like this are relatively good, and cultural relics can be stolen without anyone noticing. I think the possibility of cooperation between the inside and the outside is relatively high."

"I hope it's just a farce."

The two quietly bit their ears and exchanged ideas on this matter.

However, the two of them never expected that not only was this incident true, but after investigation by the relevant departments, the suspect turned out to be someone they knew.

"What? Takahashi is suspected of smuggling and reselling cultural relics?" Even though they had known Takahashi from previous contacts and knew that Takahashi was a sinister and scheming person who was not liked by others, no one could have imagined that he could do such an illegal thing.

This is not just a moral matter.

"We don't know whether it's true or not, but someone saw him being taken away for investigation."

Tang Qinqin and Yang Qing looked at each other.

Why does it feel like Takahashi's ghost is lingering, and he appears everywhere.

……

Because of this incident, the Cultural Relics Protection Center strengthened its security forces and increased the number and frequency of night patrols.

Players have no experience in the subsequent restoration operations of cultural relics, so they can go home after finishing the cleaning work in hand.

It was early August, and the herbs in the small courtyard and the back mountain were in full bloom and growing well. Some herbs were just in season for harvesting.

The pear blossoms that were blooming on the two Taipo pear trees when we left have now grown into mature fruits. There is a touch of red on the pears, which is a sign of their maturity.

Everything was arranged just right, so appropriate, so beautiful.

Tang Qinqin picked the mature Taipo pears, because in order to allow the trees to recover better, most of the pear blossoms were pinched off, and the fruits harvested were not many. A total of more than thirty pears were harvested from the two pear trees.There were less than twenty unripe fruits left.

Perhaps it was because Tang Qinqin had used the water of life for them. The two pear trees did not attract pests. Instead, they became more and more leafy and the fruits were large and fragrant.

He left a few for himself and Tang's father and mother, and Tang Qinqin took most of the rest to the hospital.

Parents and masters must be filial. The number of remaining pears is limited. It is impossible for everyone I know to get a share. I can only give it to my closest friends first.

After delivering pears to his master, senior brother Sheng Qingchuan, third senior brother Jiang Jinghuai, and senior sister Chu Ning and exchanging pleasantries, Tang Qinqin made an appointment with the little sisters to get together in the small courtyard.

Before they came, Tang Qinqin collected the mature herbs in the courtyard, washed them and dried them, and some of them needed to be processed later.

After harvesting, the open space was simply fertilized and sprinkled with some plant ash, in preparation for planting the next crop in a few days.

The mature herbs in the accompanying space have long been harvested by the Meow Team and the Paw Team, and the obsidian bundles are neatly stacked on the ground.

Because it is the first year for the peach trees to bloom, they are too immature when they have just grown, and the fruit setting rate is not high. There are only a few apricot-sized green peaches hanging sparsely on the branches.

Tang Qinqin couldn't resist trying one. It tasted good, but the sour taste was stronger than the sweet taste.

Obsidian is an exquisite spider who enjoys life. It collects the fallen peach petals and weaves together with the spider silk a pink and tender nest full of girlish hearts.

When Lan Lan, Mengru, Tao Tingting, and Yang Qing came over, Tang Qinqin's small courtyard was almost filled with bamboo baskets for drying herbs.

"Come on, come in." Hearing the knock on the door, Tang Qinqin wiped his hands and opened the door bolt.

"Hey, are these all herbal medicines?" Lan Lan walked around the small courtyard as soon as she came in, curious about the baby's upper body and asking questions from time to time.

"Well, they are some common medicinal materials that have just been dried." Tang Qinqin was busy boiling water for the little sisters to make scented tea. "I don't have anything else here. Please drink the honeysuckle tea that I dried myself. Give it a try later and it will clear away the heat. Detoxifying.”

"Stop being so busy. We can do whatever you need. No one is going to be polite to you anyway." Yang Qing said with a smile, taking the ingredients she brought and washing them under the faucet.

Mengru had already entered the house and changed her shoes, and was picking and washing vegetables with her sleeves rolled up.

When sisters get together, a lively hot pot meal is usually indispensable.Each other also knows their favorite ingredients, so there is no need to explain them in detail.

"Then I won't be polite." Tang Qinqin said, looking at Lan Lan: "Blueberries, grapes, figs and everything are ripe on the mountain behind. You go pick some and come back to eat. There is a basket over there."

"Okay, I'll eat everything for you when I go!" Lan Lan made a face and walked towards the back mountain.

"Follow and keep an eye on it." Tang Qinqin patted Hei Lang's back gently, and Hei Lang stood up and followed him very smartly.

Although the back mountain is not far from my small courtyard and I can hear anything happening, I am still a little worried about letting my friend go there alone. With the black wolf around, I don't worry at all.

As for what Lan Lan said about eating it all, if she had the stomach for it, she would still admire her.

Tang Qinqin didn't buy a TV in his room, so he didn't watch much, so it was useless.A projector is prepared, so you can watch movies at ordinary times.

By the time the ingredients are ready, the hot pot soup base is already boiling and churning with an alluring aroma.

After Tao Tingting and Yang Qing brought over the last ingredients, the little sisters sat around the round table, cooking hot pot and playing their favorite movies. They chatted from time to time, and their laughter lingered in the usually deserted and quiet courtyard for a long time. .

"Come on, one for each person. Do you have more?" After the meal, Tang Qinqin washed a few pears and gave them to each person.

If there is a small amount of other fruits, you can cut them into pieces and eat them separately. However, since ancient times, we have not been used to cutting pears into pieces because they are homophones for "separate".

"This pear is delicious. It tastes soft and sweet. Try it. This is the first one I have harvested." Tang Qinqin finished speaking and took a bite. The fragrance hit his nostrils.

Lan Lan and Meng Ru had already eaten, but they didn't care to talk at the moment and were immersed in chewing pears.

Yang Qing is from Zhuang province, she has never eaten or even seen Taipo pears, so she almost swallowed her tongue when she bit down on it.

"This is too delicious!"

"You can also try figs. This is a unique variety in Weishi. I grew it from the saplings I bought there. It's so sweet that you won't get tired of it after eating it."

"Hurry up and eat, if you can't finish eating, I will pack it for you to take away."

"Hey, I didn't expect that one day we would achieve some fruit freedom here in Qinqin." Lan Lan touched her bulging belly and leaned lazily on the sofa.

After Tao Tingting tasted a fig, she looked shocked: "It's really sweet!"

"Why is it called a fig? How can it bear fruit if it doesn't bloom?" Lan Lan, who was curious about her baby, asked again.

"My conscience suggests consulting Du Niang." Tang Qinqin, who was so thirsty that he couldn't stand the curiosity of a hundred thousand people, decided to show off.
