The main selection scene in New Haven is not a treasure holder who comes forward with an object, and then three or four experts who are sitting in danger look at and evaluate them one by one, and finally there is a big drama like "Four Heavenly Kings Fighting Treasures".

The atmosphere of the recording scene here is much more casual and relaxed: the hall is the filming site, there are many large and small tables and shelves, thirty or forty treasure bearers put the objects they bring on the shelves or tables, and then the two hosts will each have two experts as staff officers, from which each selects three treasures.

In the end, four experts conducted a consultation and evaluation, and selected a treasure that best represents the history and culture of New Haven.

If you have some champagne or something, you can get rid of it and become a drinking party, and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

There are also a few sofas, chairs and a small coffee table as a seating area, champagne is not available, juice and mineral water are provided, and hot coffee.

Zhang Nan didn't rush to see those objects, but sat on a chair and watched the filming scene for a while, and said: "Very good, Henry, the form is changeable, and your niece is also a bit of a level, which is worth a hand." ”

Henry, who was sitting diagonally opposite, smiled and said, "If I don't have any professional ability, I don't dare to use my power for personal gain, I have to get by." ”

"Don't shy away from relatives... It doesn't matter if you don't understand, well done. ”

The previous sentence was in Chinese, and Henri Deborsen was directly blind, but it was good to know that the boss was praising him.

At this time, only five or six meters away, Anna Phillips took a fancy to a bunch of cups, held by a middle-aged couple in their fifties.

Zhang Nan has good hearing, and he heard the conversation there very clearly: before the shooting, he said that when the host stopped to shoot at a certain treasure holder's position, he asked others to lower the volume as much as possible to speak.

There is no need to mute the venue, the form of this issue is relaxed, even if it is a little fun.

The quality of the citizens of New Haven is good, and the loudest throat in the entire venue just now was actually Zhang Nan himself.

Anna Phillips, who walked by, said to the middle-aged couple, "Are you going to have coffee? ”

A joke, because the six cups were similar to the large coffee cups in Henry's hand, with painted and gold edges on them. However, because of the distance, Zhang Nan couldn't see what the pattern on it was.

And then...

It's funny!

The housewife smiled at the host and said, "These are my father's shaving cups, which he collected in the forties and fifties, and which used to hang on the wall. ”

For a moment, Anna's expression was a little embarrassed, and this part was obviously recorded by the two cameras that followed the shooting.

"We looked up some information, and the cups were probably older than my father-in-law, probably from the late 19th century or the beginning of this century, when they were all the rage. ”

The middle-aged man came to make a miracle sword, and he didn't know what Anna was thinking about in his heart.

However, according to the habit of American TV shows, her unlucky embarrassment will be a small highlight in this episode of the show - the host, not an expert, not ashamed.

Regardless of what the host thinks, Zhang Nan almost lost the coffee cup in his hand - there is no Longjing and no Huibai here, I got myself a cup of coffee just now, of course, the style of the cup is exactly the same as the one in Henry's hand.

Zhang Nan had always thought that the six cups over there were coffee cups, but as a result...

Anna simply became a complete layman, and then asked how to use this shaving cup?

The man not only talked eloquently, but also signaled with his hand in a circle: "When a customer needs to shave, the barber will put the shaving powder in a cup and stir it with water..."

Zhang Nan put down the coffee cup in his hand, curiosity drove him to get up and walk over, and said that he would definitely not have any interest in coffee for at least a while.

There were also a few other well-fed people nearby to watch the excitement, but they all consciously stood two or three meters away, and there were not many people, so they didn't disturb the shooting.

Zhang Nan also stood at such a distance, watching the conversation between the cup holder and the host, and looked at the cups by the way.

It is basically white, only one is burgundy, two are scene portrait decorations, and one cup has a locomotive painted on it, and the other few points block the unclear pattern.

Then the housewife said, "It is said that customers will have their own cups..."

"Customers take it home when they're done with it?"

"No, Anna, the mug will basically be in the barbershop, so that the barber can let others see who his regulars are..."

Housewives have a good memory, because in the very beginning of the recording, two presenters introduced themselves.

It was evident that Anna was interested in these cups, as she had never paid attention to such objects, and besides, these cups were not only delicate, but also seemed to represent the American market culture of an era—she had a husband, but his husband used an electric razor.

As for her father, twenty or thirty years ago, when he shaved, he would have used a cup to froth, but he used a tooth jar to make do.

Now it's the turn of the experts.

She is a female expert, Doni Rudig, in her sixties, and her profession is not an antique dealer or a museum researcher, but the owner and barber of a well-known old-fashioned local barber shop.

Fun, this is the absolute reliability of experts in the eyes of Americans, and the audience will buy what this type of expert says.

Separating the audition from the main selection has the advantage of being able to find the experts you need in advance to prepare. Of course, you can also choose the six objects you need by the two hosts, and then go to the barber shop or museum to find an expert to firm.

The form is flexible and never old-fashioned.

American compliments, the Doni first picked up the mugs for being so good, two of them were better than her collection, and she had never even seen such a delicate, wonderful antique shaving cup.

Zhang Nan, who watched the excitement, learned from the conversation between the four of them that this kind of shaving cup became popular in the 80s of the 19th century, and that in the high-end barber shop where there was such an exquisite shaving cup, it cost 10 cents to shave a beard.

Even in the late 19th century, five cents was indispensable.

It can't be said to be super expensive, but it's not cheap either: a hundred years ago, the large American chain "Sears" had the habit of printing the annual "Catalogue of Goods", and the retail prices of some goods recorded in the catalogue in 1908 were as follows: 100 yuan for a complete set of large carriages and 40 yuan for small ones, 14 yuan for the latest sewing machine in Missota, 10 yuan for a hand-cranked telephone, 2 cents for batteries, 13 yuan for a video camera, and 15 yuan for bicycles, all of which were new models in 1908;

Guns start at $5 and pistols start at $2.

Leather boots 1.5 yuan.

If it was the eighties of the 19th century, some goods would have been cheaper, and even a trained Quarter horse would have been estimated to be $20.

Ten cents to shave a beard, it's definitely not cheap!

Zhang Nan thought maliciously on the side: "No wonder the men in those western films shave their own beards, and they can't afford to shave in the barbershop." ”

As for not recognizing it just now...

Who would go while watching TV, especially to pay attention to what the cups of other people's shaves look like.
