As for those less than a hundred Spanish silver dollars, they are not considered large amounts of silver at all.

Having said that, if a few tons of silver could be salvaged from the shipwreck, Xia Yu would definitely not be arrogant and refused to charge it, even if the current price of silver is incomparable to that of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

But he felt that the greater possibility was that there were probably these gold and other kinds of currencies on the shipwreck.

No matter what, you have to hurry up and search for everything that has not been missed in the entire shipwreck.

That night he will first deal with the gold bars, copper coins and Spanish silver dollars salvaged today. This is relatively simple to process, just clean up the mud and sand on their surface and other traces.

While dealing with these, looking at the animals and plants growing happily and lively in the space can still give him some comfort. The space cannot be considered as the singing of birds and fragrance of flowers, but it also makes him feel particularly accomplished.

My sister Xia Xue contacts him on WeChat every day, and usually chooses tonight. She uploads the videos after editing, dubbing, subtitles, etc., after post-production, to the P site, and then shares the link with him. Now, there is another Bai Yujiao among the people who share her video links. According to Xia Xue, the two of them are quite in love with each other.

Although Xia Yu is a crazy girl, he doesn't have time to care about her. At most, he just goes to watch the video, and then Sanlian doesn't post much comments. His account on the P site has now been upgraded to level 5, and he has no motivation to continue upgrading, so he needs too much experience value. In fact, he has not deliberately gained experience before, just check whether the up owners he is following have updated, and then just browse it casually. When you meet someone you like, click like and vote for a coin to collect it.

On Father's Day, Xia Xue called Xia Mingguang while they were having dinner and gave him a set of shaving knives as a Father's Day gift.

Xia Yu's contact with Bai Yujiao is still similar to before, either, nor is it too much, nor does he contact him every day. He salvaged the gold and planned to ask her Yu Xiangzhai for help, but he was not in a hurry to send her the photos. He planned to salvage all the treasures of the shipwreck before talking about it, and he was anxious to eat hot tofu.

Before going to bed, he still squandered his mental power and fell asleep.

I still got up early the next day and went out to sea after breakfast.

The father and son ran to the sea every day, but as long as they came back safely at night, Chen Fuqiong would not say much. She herself would pay special attention to the weather conditions and would not let them go out when there were strong winds and waves. Moreover, on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, that is, today, she would go to the Tianhou Temple in the town to burn incense and worship Mazu, and pray for her family.

After arriving at the location, Xia Yu wandered around first, first catching seafood and then salvaging the treasure of the shipwreck.

It’s easy to catch seafood, but at the shipwreck, it seems that his good luck yesterday has been exhausted. In the morning, he interacted with the mud and sand, and only harvested some ordinary ballast stones. They were all very heavy, and it was quite difficult to collect the space. There was no gold as expected, nor silver...

The only good news is that a large area was cleared out, and he thought he could salvage all the wreck before returning to Yuhai.

Xia Yu had nothing to be discouraged, so he had to eat, drink and rest for lunch.

When I continued to clean up in the afternoon, I found another batch of porcelain.

But it is not traditional Chinese porcelain, but trade porcelain, also called export porcelain.

The characteristic of this kind of trade porcelain is that the coexistence of traditional style and exotic style. In addition to the traditional Chinese patterns and styles, many Western styles and new shapes appear because they incorporate the aesthetics and needs of Westerners.

Xia Yu also muttered in his heart, "Sure enough, the Portuguese still take profit as the first direction, even if they are pirates!"

When salvaging this export porcelain, his work must be the same as before, as when salvaging blue and white porcelain, and be careful not to let the porcelain hit.

Many of them are ordered porcelain, which are specially designed and customized according to specific customer requirements. For example, tea sets, coffee sets, beer mugs, shaving plates, butter plates, cream dishes, fruit baskets and even sanitary ware are available. These were not available in China at that time.

These porcelains mostly imitate European gold and silver ware. They are generally unique in shape and exquisite in decoration patterns. They have both traditional Chinese craftsmanship and reflect the exquisite and elegant European decorative style. At that time, the price was generally more expensive than other porcelains, but they are still very popular among Europeans, and the profits are naturally particularly high.

For this reason, on this wreck, these export porcelains are stored separately in cabins.

According to historical records, Europeans like thick colors, so Chinese merchants would like to them. They first made white porcelain without patterns in Jingdezhen, then transported it to Yuhai City, and hired craftsmen to paint according to Western painting methods, and opened a furnace to dry and dye it on the south bank of the Pearl River to make porcelain, and then sold it to Western merchants.

But for Xia Yu, this batch of export porcelain will double his workload.

Because most of them are fancy overglaze colors, it is very difficult to keep them well.

Blue and white porcelain is much easier to deal with than this!

The same thing is said, the shipwreck he discovered himself must handle all the treasures and cultural relics on it properly with tears in his eyes, and cannot just enjoy the benefits without doing anything. Otherwise, it will be no different from those stolen!

Fortunately, he has the existence of the Golden Finger and Baoding Space, which gives him more time and space to slowly process these huge cultural relics.

This afternoon, he was about to join these "export porcelains" and probably the same will happen the next day.

As he expected, the next day he salvaged two more export porcelains from the cabins, and he didn't want to count the quantity. However, the number of this batch of export porcelains was at least more than 4,000 pieces. Due to the different shapes and types of vessels, there were not as many blue and white porcelains in the cabins containing blue and white porcelain.

Such a wrecked ship completely salvaged the treasure inside, which really restored a lot of things at that time.

As the cabin where this batch of export porcelain was salvaged, the entire shipwreck was almost salvaged by him.

On the morning of the 19th, Xia Yu did some work to check for missing and fill in the gaps, except for cleaning up the remaining places. This was because a lot of mud and sand were backfilled. There was no special gain. The only surprise discovery was that some of the wood should be agarwood, and they were collected into the space first and then processed slowly later.

In the afternoon, he began to transport the entire ship into the space, thanks to the area of ​​the space he gave him a room every day, otherwise the shipwreck would be placed in a place.

In the Baoding Space, the area of ​​artificial oceans has not increased for a long time.

The newly added space was used by him to collect the treasures of shipwrecks.

Just to clean and desalinate the blue and white porcelain, he repaired a "assembly line". There was a pool where the original blue and white porcelain was stored in salvaged, which contained sea water. The cleaning special pool, and the desalinate pool had four large pools, which contained fresh water.

The treated blue and white porcelain also needs to be stored separately. Xia Yu originally thought about whether to customize wooden racks or something, but he had no idea after that. There were too many porcelains salvaged, and the most exquisite batch may be able to enjoy such treatment. If the ordinary ones are put out, there will be no place to put them in no matter how big the space is.

In fact, other ordinary porcelain salvaged from shipwrecks are usually only placed in the warehouse, and those that are actually taken out for auction and exhibition are relatively high-quality. Once there are too many things, the storage level will be difficult to keep up. Xia Yu's treasure tripod space is simply a unique place to store cultural relics.

For example, most porcelains that are mainly overglaze color are more troublesome to process. They also need to use chemical solvents such as acetone purchased before to be processed, and the space area occupied is also not small. He has first treated the colorful porcelain and export porcelain on the overglaze color in small batches, which are seriously damaged and faded and need to be treated urgently.

Before processing, let them soak in the sea water first.

He also believes that he is good at custody, at least, his salvage time is particularly short. In general underwater archaeology, due to the limitations of weather, ocean currents, various real conditions such as ships, personnel funds, etc., it is the most normal thing to spend a few years to salvage.

In order to preserve the shipwreck itself, he opened a new area separately, dug a hole and injected seawater. It is specially used to store various components of the shipwreck, bow, keel, sail, stern, deck, partition and other things.

Xia Yubo was aware of the strong memory. He had the most direct impression of the shape and layout of the entire shipwreck. When put into the space, he would restore it as it was at the bottom of the sea.

June 20, 3:16 pm.

Xia Yu finally salvaged the treasure of the Portuguese red single shipwreck, including the shipwreck itself, and put it in the treasure dynasty space. It also left a huge pothole on the bottom of the sea.

After thinking about it, he still planned to fill the pit so that the homework of filling the pit could be very bold, which only took him about an hour.

At this point, the thirteen-day salvage of shipwreck treasures has officially come to an end. The next step is to follow up the treatment of these treasures, including but not limited to the proper handling and storage of cultural relics. He still needs a lot of start-up funds to carry out various subsequent operations, and then go to various sea areas around the world to salvage more shipwreck treasures.

Time flies very quickly, and when Xia Yu returned to Yuhai University, his itinerary was naturally told to his father, including the gold ingots he salvaged, and some were also displayed to him on the boat.

But Xia Mingguang was not particularly interested in this. Even if it was gold, he didn't say that he would put a gold ingot at home to collect it. Xia Yu had room to collect it. As long as he was not stupid, it would be much safer than put it at home. If he really put it at home, Xia Mingguang felt that he had to worry every day.

Xia Mingguang naturally did not forget to instruct Xia Yu to be more careful when trading with others. After all, society is complicated, people's hearts are sinister, and money is moving.
