Chapter 335: The Monkey Who Spent His Money

Liu Fang and the others took a closer look, and they saw that the surface of the hollowed-out copper bell was a pattern of auspicious clouds, one of which had a flying dragon, and the other was a tiger.

"This kind of craft, which is definitely not an ordinary folk craft, is very successful. Wen Wenhao commented.

Even today, it was still a beautiful brass bell, so he could be sure that it was a treasure. I just don't know what age this is.

Hu Yang looked at it for a while and said, "This bronze casting technique is a bit interesting. ”

"Interesting?"

"Look, this bronze bell should be three or four hundred years old. Ordinary copper, after such a long time, must be covered with patina, that is, rust. But this one is not, it is still a bright patina. It is safe to say that this is not only a technical problem of copper smelting, but also the addition of inert metal elements such as gold. Populus euphratica said with certainty.

"Three or four hundred years? That's the Qing Dynasty!"

"The end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty! It should be more than 400 years old. "Through the inquisitive eye, Populus euphratica knows very well the origin of this item.

When it comes to copper alchemy, many people can't understand it.

Why did the history of copper smelting in ancient times predate that iron smelting in ancient times? This planet, obviously the resources of iron are many times more than copper, so it stands to reason that iron should not have been discovered and used earlier?

A lot of people don't know it.

In ancient times, red copper ore on the earth was easy to find, while brown iron ore was not easy to find. In ancient times, iron may not have come from the earth, but from the universe, because in some ancient sayings, it was called "fire from heaven".

So, it's kind of interesting. In the earliest days, people knew that iron did not come from the earth.

In addition, natural copper is softer and easier to process than natural meteorite, so this is also an important reason why copper smelting is earlier than iron smelting.

"Is this thing valuable?" Lao Zhou couldn't help but ask.

Of course, he also knew that what Hu Yang was best at was not looking for bloodstone, but antique appreciation, and Lao Wen had already told him.

Hu Yang shook the two spherical copper bells in his hand and said with a smile: "This pair is probably worth between 80,000 and 150,000!"

As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhou couldn't help but stare at him. Although he knew that antiques were worth a lot of money, millions, tens of millions, it was not surprising. However, two copper bells the size of a ping-pong ball, about 100,000, still shocked him.

That's worth more than a lot of average-quality bloodstone!

"Strange, where did you find that monkey?" Wen Wenhao was surprised and delighted.

Everyone looked at the monkey who was still preparing to attack in the distance, and they all wondered how this treasure came from.

Suddenly, something else slammed in. Wen Wenhao also learned from Populus euphratica and reached out to catch it. When he opened his hand to look at it, he was immediately pleasantly surprised.

"Golden!"

Belch!

Lao Zhou felt that his brain was a little overwhelmed, how did the abandoned monkey become a waste of money?

"Hey, is there anything else?" Pan Long and the others were also moved, shouting at the monkey.

As soon as the words fell, something flew over again, and Lao Zhou couldn't help it.

"Damn, how is it a stone?" Lao Zhou was extremely depressed.

The audience in the live broadcast room all laughed when they saw it.

Hu Yang guessed: "Find something to eat, serve them well, and follow them later." I think this group of monkeys must have found a treasure. ”

"Tomb?" everyone blurted out.

"It doesn't have to be an ancient tomb, either. ”

Xiao Gao was excited, but he didn't expect that this time he would not only find bloodstone, but also explore treasures. This kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the luck is too good.

Everyone has a heart to explore treasures.

Lao Zhou immediately nodded: "I'll go back and get some fruit and the like, you wait." ”

After speaking, before everyone could react, they had already rushed out.

The audience in the live broadcast room, especially friends whose home is in Zhejiang, are envious and jealous, and some people regret not coming out very much. If you are bold and forcibly ask for a leave or something, at least the shares of the mine road should have their share, isn't it much better than them going to work honestly?

Nowadays, it is even more to explore the treasure, how many people's dreams!

"Alas, I also asked for leave, but the leader did not approve it. Damn! I knew I quit my job and went out. ”

"Me too, but I don't dare to mess around, if this job is gone, the mortgage is very bad!"

"Sit back and wait for Brother Hu to come to our Jiangsu. ”

"I guess the next stop is the magic capital, right?"

......

Wen Wenhao and the others gestured towards the monkey as they approached. These monkeys are indeed very annoying, and if it weren't for the treasure, everyone would never tolerate these presumptuous guys.

When they got closer, they saw a small monkey playing with a wood carving.

This time, everyone knew that Brother Hu's guess was right, these monkeys had definitely found the treasure hidden in the mountains.

Hu Yang leaned down and picked up a piece of broken jade. When Xiao Gao saw them, their hearts immediately ached. The quality of that piece of broken jade is good, it belongs to jadeite, and it is so green that people can look comfortable, however, it is so broken.

"The glutinous willow green jadeite, although broken, is still valuable, and it is still possible to pick it up and let people redesign, such as making earrings and pendants. Hu Yang said, and gave the small piece of broken jade to Xiaowen.

"Hmm! Thank you, Brother Hu. Xiaowen happily accepted it.

The two of them began to look around for other pieces of debris, intending to collect them all.

Sister Fang suddenly remembered that she still had something in her backpack, opened the backpack, took out a small bread from it, and threw it at the little monkey holding the wood carving.

The little monkey immediately dropped the wooden carving, caught the little bread, and then quickly hid somewhere else.

After all, I have been in the zoo, and I am a monkey who has seen the world, and I know that this kind of thing can be eaten by tearing the package.

However, as soon as it was torn apart, it was snatched away by another monkey.

Sister Fang walked over and picked up the fist-sized wood carving. This is a wood carving of an Arhat, which should be carved from boxwood. In their Zhejiang, boxwood carving is one of the traditional arts that is very famous.

In fact, the main production areas of boxwood carving are in Wenzhou and Yueqing in Zhejiang, and Yueqing is the birthplace.

As far as she knows, this kind of wood carving originated from the small wood carved Buddha statues decorated with wood carving dragon lanterns at the "Dragon Lantern Festival" that was popular during the folk Lantern Festival. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, it developed into a beautiful craft appreciation product known for people's desks. Influenced by the modeling style and lines of literati painting in the late Qing Dynasty, the work has the characteristics of simple and mellow knife technique, fine and smooth, depicting both form and spirit, structure and reality, and poetic and picturesque.

Most of the content themes show characters from Chinese folk myths and legends, such as: Eight Immortals, Birthday Star, Guan Gong, Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin, etc.

Boxwood is finely carved and polished, comparable to ivory carving. Especially with the passage of time, the color is from light to dark, giving people a simple and beautiful appearance.

"The carving is good, worth more than 100,000. Hu Yang commented casually.

The others were speechless, and a small loaf of bread was exchanged for more than 100,000 treasures.
