Chapter 257: Archaeologist Mu Lao
In the past two days, Zhao Tianming checked a lot of books, but he was still unsure what kind of butterfly the insect was disguised as a flower, and he didn't even know whether it was a new variety or a variant.
This worm pearl should have extremely high scientific research value, but Zhao Tianming didn't plan to donate it to let those scientists decompose and study, such a bead-shaped perfect worm pearl is not unique, at least it is difficult to find in the world.
This precious insect pearl, Zhao Tianming plans to take it when he has time to let Qi Lao and them palm, as for the shot, he has no such plans for the time being.
Li Sisi saw those photos from the camera, and brought a room of sisters over, and when she saw the jewel-like worm, her eyes lit up one by one, and she couldn't wait to keep it for herself.
Li Sisi was extremely speechless when he learned that this touching bead, which was bigger than a dragon's eye, was dug out of that very ugly stone. It's no wonder that even a few million words are not seen as a gift, how excited that guy is, it turns out that there are even bigger surprises here.
She was curious, how did this guy see that there was a treasure hidden here, and why did others not find out and let him pick up the leak?
Finally sent a few people, Zhao Tianming packed the pearl amber with a jade box, took it to the old Qi store, and asked him to help palm the eyes.
"Do you have anything to do? Qi Lao is entertaining guests on the second floor, and he may not be free until he has a meeting. ”
Looking at the store, it was an apprentice of Qi Lao, named Huang Wenguang, who was quite level, and it was said that Qi Lao had plans to officially include him in the door wall.
Zhao Tianming often comes, and the two are familiar with each other, so when he heard the words, he explained his intention: "Recently, I bought a piece of worm and wanted to find Qi Laozhang's palm." ”
"Then you wait, I'll go up and ask him about the old man. ”
After a while, Huang Wenguang came down and said that Qi Lao would let him go up.
Zhao Tianming walked into the reception room on the second floor, and saw that Qi Lao was drinking tea with this old man, and the two were talking and laughing, and Lao Huai was pleased.
Another old man, with gray hair, but he was full of energy, and he could see that he was tall, and even if he sat there, he had a dragon and tiger stride.
He is dressed casually, not very particular, does not have the elegant temperament of Qi Lao, his hands are covered with calluses, and he looks like a doer, appearing here, looking a little out of place.
"I heard that you have found some good things again, let me see the old man?" motioning for Zhao Tianming to sit down, Qi Lao smiled.
Zhao Tianming's luck has always been good, and he is also very interested in having a good time.
Hearing Qi Lao speak so casually, the old man next to him couldn't help but look over and looked at Zhao Tianming with a little curiosity.
"This is Zhao Tianming, a little friend, don't look at his young age, his ability is not much better than ours. The painting of Zheng Banqiao that you asked you to help identify was discovered by him. Seeing the old man's gaze, Qi Lao said.
"This is Mu Cheng and Mu Lao, an archaeologist, and half an insider. ”
Qi Lao introduced to both sides, and told him that the painting of Zheng Banqiao had been confirmed to be an imitation, and it was finished in the Republic of China.
"The young man is good, he can slap the faces of the old guys of Lao Qi, and they have long looked at them as old pedantic and rotten Confucian. Mu Lao did not hesitate to praise, but what he said was only flattering.
Zhao Tianming was sweating, he didn't even dare to say it, it was just a fluke, and then he took out the pearl amber and put it on the table, asking Qi Lao to appreciate it.
Qi Lao knew that with Zhao Tianming's level, ordinary small objects did not need to trouble his old man at all, and what could make him solemn must be something amazing.
It's just that when he saw the objects that Zhao Tianming asked him to see, despite his mental preparation, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
He was just about to take it out and take a closer look, when one hand was faster than him, and he snatched the box along with it.
Mu Lao looked at the pearl amber in the box, his eyes lit up, and his mouth was full of praise, quite a bit of love and spare.
He directly took out the amber, brought it in front of him, stared wide-eyed, as if he wanted to see every fiber inside, and at the end, he pinched it hard to weigh the firmness.
Zhao Tianming and Qi Lao were in a cold sweat watching from the side, although they knew that amber would not be easily crushed, they were still worried, but Mu Lao was not conscious at all.
"I said, can you be light-hearted? This is a work of art, you know? I really don't know how the state can let you handle those unearthed cultural relics. Qi Lao saw that he was endless, so he had to speak up.
"How did you get this, young man? If I'm not mistaken, it's uncarved, it's natural, and it's very fresh, it's newly unearthed, right?"
Mu Laoli also ignored Qi Lao, looked up at Zhao Tianming and asked, his face was no longer cynical and scolding just now, and his eyes were full of seriousness.
"Yes, old man, you really have a vision. Zhao Tianming sighed in admiration, and then told the story of the matter.
"It's almost perfectly round, and it's the size of a lychee, and the flowers in it are still in full bloom, and I've never seen such amber, and the strangeness of nature is really amazing. Mu Lao sighed.
"Hmmm, it can't be that I'm blind, is it? It's not a flower? It's an animal in disguise?"
When I put on my glasses and saw the things inside, I couldn't help but feel a little stunned, and even a strong sense of loss. If there is a flower in the middle of the bloom, it will be of great value to study the evolution of the natural world.
Through various scientific researches, it is possible to analyze the growth environment, physiology, ecology, genetics, evolution, and even the composition of air, water and soil at that time, and there may be breakthrough progress.
Animals, on the other hand, move around and have a lot more uncertainty, far less than the advantage of fixed growth of plants.
"That's right, this should be a butterfly, but I have checked a lot of information in the past two days, and I don't know what species it is, so I want to bring it over for Qi Lao to see. Zhao Tianming affirmed his doubts.
"This, I really can't give you any advice, and I haven't studied much about worms. Everyone knows that the insect amber on the market is precious, but the specific price is difficult to say, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. However, your kind of quality can be called perfect, when you meet the right person, you will be willing to pay any amount of money, are you ready to make a move?"
Qi Lao waved his hand and said, and then, he took the amber and observed it carefully, much more cautious than Mu Lao. He's not good at it, but that doesn't stop him from appreciating it. By the way, an analysis of the market situation.
"Talking about money in everything, vulgar!" Mu Lao on the side sneered and said with contempt.
