Chapter 710: Guan Gong Wood Carving

"By the way, junior brother, didn't you just say on the phone that we should look at a good object, it can't be something I bought at Su Xiaozi's stall." Listening to their conversation, Wang Zijian suddenly reached something, and couldn't help but say with some anticipation, but he knew how much Chu Lao admired his little junior brother's attainments in antiques in his words.

Fang You's face changed suddenly, "It's broken, hurry up and stop, before Su Da and I used a trick to enter Li Xingsheng's base, I put those things in a corner where we walked over in order to prevent things from being damaged, you wait a minute, I'll go back when I go." ”

"Brother Li, Brother Wang, do you want to send someone to follow Brother Fang." Feng Wenzheng hesitated for a moment, and then said.

Li Zhijun and Wang Zijian both shook their heads, "Senior Brother Feng, you also know the strength of the junior brother, there are only a few people who can pose a threat to him, we still keep our eyes open and wait for the objects that the junior brother brings." ”

Feng Wenzheng nodded, his inquiry just now was just his subconscious action, after all, this is the territory where Li Xingsheng existed, and there may be some people who will be caught.

After a while, Fang You walked back quickly, and when he was about to enter Li Xingsheng's base, in order to prevent the two precious things from being damaged in the future battle, he asked for them back from Su Da, and then put them into a land of uninhabited houses.

Ming blue and white is not enough, but the statue of Guan Erge carved by the local residents of Africa is very precious, and the historical significance contained in it is far greater than the value of this black wood carving itself, not to mention that this Guan Gong statue has been handed down from the Ming Dynasty to the present, and these things together are enough to make this black wood carving extremely precious.

"Little junior brother, quickly take it out and let us have a look, and see if your kid is as bullish as Old Man Chu said in antiques." Seeing Fang You sitting in the car, Li Zhijun said with some eagerness, all of them in this car are their own people, even if they are drivers, they are also special soldiers who came from China with Feng Wenzheng.

Fang You smiled, patted Li Zhijun's outstretched hand, and then took out the bowl-shaped Ming blue and white porcelain from the bag, "Senior brother, you see, this is the treasure I found in Suda's stall." ”

Looking at this small bowl full of dust and oil, Li Zhijun patted his head and said unceremonously: "Little junior brother, are you kidding, just this broken bowl is also a good object for you to let us see, I don't necessarily want one for a dollar." If it was something else, he would be interested in grabbing it and looking at it, but he wasn't even interested in looking at this broken porcelain bowl.

"Little junior brother, tell us what this porcelain bowl is." Wang Zijian was a little cautious, after all, Chu Lao's character was clear, he didn't have a certain level, and he couldn't enter his old man's eyes at all, even if it was the two of them, if it wasn't Chen Zongyi's apprentice, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to sit with Chu Lao at the beginning.

And the little junior brother in front of him is like a close friend with Chu Lao, which can already explain everything.

"Hehe, senior brother, don't look at it dirty, it looks like it has just been picked up from the garbage heap, but just this broken bowl in your mouth is enough to cover your income in the years of opening the martial arts gym in Tielijian." Fang You said with a smile.

Li Zhijun was a little disbelieving on his face, "Little junior brother, although the martial arts hall we opened in Tielijian accepts fewer students, the tuition fee is very high, and over the years, in addition to food and clothing, we have at least two or three million left." ”

Fang You smiled slightly, "Senior brother, this is a small bowl of Ming Yongle blue and white longevity peach, look at its glaze is thick and delicate, smooth and smooth, the tire color is white, its cyan is bright and bright, like a sapphire blue luster, the overall dexterity and delicateness, it is really a masterpiece in Ming blue and white, if my expectations are good, the value of this small bowl should be between two million and three million, if it is put on auction, its price may far exceed three million." ”

It can be used by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, as a thing to show the national prestige and cultural strength to the barbarian country when Zheng He went to the West, how can it be an ordinary thing, and it is definitely the most exquisite object in the official kiln.

"Three million, no, little junior brother, just this broken bowl is worth three million." Li Zhijun opened his mouth wide, a little unbelievable, he had worked hard in Tielijian all his life, teaching foreign students to learn martial arts all his life, rain or shine, and the money he earned was not as good as this broken bowl.

Fang You smiled, "Senior brother, this is just a relatively cheap thing among antiques, the two pieces of celebrity calligraphy I auctioned in the small island country, the final transaction price, one is close to 400 million, and the other is more than 1 billion. ”

"Two antiques, just more than a billion......" Li Zhijun's eyes were a little dull, feeling that this generation seemed to have lived in vain, he stood for a long time, he pressed Fang You's shoulder fiercely, "Little junior brother, senior brother, the rest of his life plus this body of flesh will be handed over to you." ”

"Ahem, senior brother, you have to be calm." Fang You said a little speechlessly.

Li Zhijun waved his fist, "More than a billion antiques, I really can't be calm." ”

"Senior brother, look at your appearance of never seeing money, junior brother, it seems that the phone call was made to us before you visited Suda's stall, could it be that you still have something to take out." Wang Zijian looked at Li Zhijun with disdain, and then looked at Fang You expectantly.

Li Zhijun looked at Wang Zijian resentfully, and said in his heart, Damn, have you seen money, have you seen two antiques, more than one billion things, I have worked hard in Tielijian all my life, and I can't afford to touch it casually with my junior brother.

Fang You smiled and took out three wood carvings from the bag, "One of these three wood carvings is a good object that I am going to show you, guess it." ”

Seeing the three wood carvings that Fang You took out, several people's eyes lit up, and they naturally saw the statue of Second Brother Guan in the center.

It's just that they looked at the two things next to them that were full of African mystery, and couldn't help but hesitate, a broken bowl that they couldn't put in their eyes could be worth millions, and these three wood carvings made them really a little unable to see one, two, three, four.

"What's so difficult about this, scarcity is expensive, in Africa, there are very few statues of Second Brother Guan, it must be Second Brother Guan, junior brother, I guessed right." Li Zhijun waved his hand and said without hesitation.

Feng Wenzheng and Wang Zijian couldn't help but look at Fang You, wanting to know if Li Zhijun's promise was correct.

Although the statue of Guan Gong is somewhat rare in Africa, it can be seen everywhere in China, perhaps it is only brought by the Chinese people who came to Africa.

"As soon as the senior brother made a move, it was extraordinary, as the senior brother said, the good object I showed you was this statue of Guan Gong." Fang You smiled slightly and gave Li Zhijun a thumbs up, simple-minded people are often not confused by appearances, the more complex the mind, the more worries in their hearts.

Feng Wenzheng said with some doubts: "Brother Fang, how can I not see the value of this Guan Gong statue." ”

"You first take a closer look at the two statues next to Guan Gong, and then look at the statue of Guan Gong, you must carefully look at every detail." Fang You said softly.

Except for Li Zhijun who looked at it for a while, he didn't look at it again, Feng Wenzheng and Wang Zijian held their breath, observing the three wood carvings little by little, and finally, Wang Zijian retracted his gaze, he who had practiced martial arts, was much stronger than Feng Wenzheng in terms of eyes.

"Little junior brother, I looked at it for a while, and I felt that this Guan Gong statue and the two African wood carvings next to it have similarities, but they are a little different, but it seems that this Guan Gong statue gives people a simple feeling." Wang Zijian and Feng Wenzheng glanced at each other, and the other party lobbied a little strangely.

Feng Wenzheng nodded, "I feel this way too. ”

"This is the preciousness of the statue of Guan Gong, the carving technique used is somewhat the same as the carving technique of the native Africans, basically it can be determined, this is a statue of Guan Gong carved by the local Africans, maybe you think it is not surprising, because in the development of transportation now, the Chinese culture may also be transmitted to Africa, but I want to tell you that from the thick pulp on this wood carving, its age should be more than 500 years ago." Fang You said with a smile on his face, "What, five hundred years, how is this possible." Feng Wenzheng and Wang Zijian said subconsciously.

And Li Zhijun asked in a daze: "Little junior brother, what is the pulp." ”

Hearing Li Zhijun's words, Fang You smiled, ignored the surprise on everyone's faces, and continued: "Look here, the statue of Guan Gong has a different glow and luster from the two statues next to it, this is the pulp, it is in the long years because of dust, sweat, the hands of the player, or the soil buried in the water, the long-lasting friction, and even the passage of rays in the air, layer by layer, the surface shell gradually formed, through the different colors of this pulp, people who often play antiques can know its approximate age. ”

At this moment, Wang Zijian, who knew some history, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said: "Little junior brother, you just said that this wood carving is five hundred years old. ”

Fang You nodded and said with a smile, "Second Senior Brother, did you think of something. ”

"Little junior brother, I have thought of one point, the Ming Dynasty, which is five hundred years ago, does not seem to have been able to reach the ability of Africa, how can it be possible to spread the culture of China here." Wang Zijian showed deep doubts on his face.

Feng Wenzheng and Li Zhijun thought about it, and nodded the same, the impression given to them in the feudal era was that they were closed to the country, and their scientific and technological capabilities were extremely low, and they could not be compared with the current industrial age, a small island country was considered a fairy island, how could it have the ability to sail in the ocean, at that time in the Ming Dynasty, even Tie Lijian, the world's first power, had not yet been established.

"Hehe, I was in the same confusion as you at first, but the words of the woodcarving shopkeeper woke me up, he said, the ancestor of the owner of this woodcarving, once saw the big ship from China, and had a brief exchange with the Chinese people on the ship, think about the most famous event in the Ming Dynasty in China, you should understand."

"The major events of the Ming Dynasty ......" The three of them couldn't help but fall into contemplation, but the three of them thought about the major events that happened in the Ming Dynasty, and none of them thought of anything about how Chinese culture could spread to Africa.

Seeing the big ship from China, Wang Zijian's eyes lit up, "Little junior brother, I know, although the industrial capacity was low in the feudal era, but not all, the big ship built in the Ming Dynasty has the ability to sail in the ocean, the famous story of Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean has explained everything, is this a few hundred years ago, when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, the African locals got some Chinese culture, and then carved the statue of Guan Gong." In the end, the shock on Wang Zijian's face was even greater.
