Sea-hunting: With the system in hand, my eyes are the ruler

Chapter 845

Zhang Haidai rubbed his head. Why was Xin Gaoyang talking about something so strange today? "Xin Gaoyang, what is a small kiln?"

"How should I explain it?" Xin Gaoyang was thinking about how to explain the matter of Xiaoyaokou to this idiot Zhang Haidai.

He suddenly realized something. "You ask me, but who should I ask? I just watched some videos on this topic on Yinyin. How can an outsider like me know what a small kiln is?"

Jiang Han: "..."

Jiang Han also recalled some videos he had seen before. "Why do I remember that the things from the big kiln are better than those from the small kiln?"

When Xin Gaoyang heard that Jiang Han had asked him this, he didn't hide it from him. "From the perspective of overall craftsmanship, it's indeed like this. The products from large kilns have higher technical content, and their output and scale are also larger. But some small kilns are still very impressive. Their craftsmanship is passed down from generation to generation, and they can be understood as small workshops today. A kiln fires two or three items at a time. These two or three items may be fine products."

Jiang Han roughly understood something and thought of the low cabinet just now.

That low cabinet is so heavy. Besides the fact that red sandalwood is heavy, there must be something else inside.

Jiang Han walked to the door and opened the door of the low cabinet.

There were many quilts in there, but they were not in good condition.

Zhang Haidai felt a little regretful, "It turns out there are only some quilts here."

Although Zhang Haidai didn't understand, he knew these quilts were already showing signs of mold and rot. They were probably worthless.

Xin Gaoyang frowned slightly, his expression was unusually serious.

Jiang Han looked at him, "What did you discover?"

Xin Gaoyang hesitated and said, "Have you heard of the bottom of the box?"

Jiang Han didn't think Xin Gaoyang was examining the accumulated knowledge of words. "Putting aside its metaphorical meaning, the literal meaning of 'lowering the box' should be something that is pressed at the bottom of a box. I've seen some TV dramas where people in ancient times would put valuables at the bottom of boxes, like land deeds and silver bills."

Xin Gaoyang nodded, that was indeed what he meant.

When Zhang Haidai heard that there was something under the quilts, he reached out to find it.

Xin Gaoyang was startled and quickly grabbed him, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say there was something under this box? Let me see what's inside."

"Don't move." Although these quilts were moldy and rotten, he found that the satin surfaces of these quilts were actually silk.

We will see how much we can save then. If it has embroidery or exquisite patterns, it can be sold for some money.

If Zhang Haidai were to touch and flip over the silk satins so roughly, all of them would be ruined.

Zhang Haidai rubbed his head in embarrassment. "How can I find what's under the box if I don't reach in?"

Lai Zhuang didn't know where he heard it from. He looked serious and seemed to be thinking about something.

Xin Gaoyang pondered and said, "I think even if there is something hidden in the bottom of the box, it is not under those quilts."

Jiang Han and the others were stunned. Jiang Han asked Xin Gaoyang, "Then where do you think it will be?"

"Many wealthy people's boxes have hidden secrets. Especially when wealthy families marry their daughters, the dowry boxes they use are all specially designed."

Jiang Han looked at Xin Gaoyang, waiting for him to continue.

Xin Gaoyang touched his head and chuckled twice, "Don't look at me like that. I already told you, I only know this by watching audio and video."

Jiang Han didn't have time to talk to him about this. "Just tell us what you know. It'll be used as a reference."

Xin Gaoyang nodded. "Usually, the things a daughter brings to her husband's family are clearly listed. But wealthy families who love their daughters are afraid that they will not live well after marriage. They always secretly leave some things for their daughters. And these things are likely hidden in the interlayer of the dowry box."

Jiang Han was a little surprised. "You mean this box has a mezzanine? But this is a low cabinet, not a dowry box."
