Chapter 254: You're Doing Wholesale Again
readx;??? Chang Lao was watching from the side, and when he saw that Yang Lao didn't react, he hurriedly shouted:
"Lao Yang, hurry, don't be idle, this gold and silver thing oxidizes faster than calligraphy and painting!"
Yang Lao was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand, and the three apprentices picked up the brushes that had been prepared long ago, and began to take them out one by one and brush them up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝU๏ฝEใ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
The old man pushed a middle-aged man away and shouted:
"Stupid! This is not calligraphy and painting, what to brush, throw it in and fish it out, quickly! Brother Chang, hurry up and prepare guys to load things! โ
After soaking it in water, it was much faster than brushing, and after a while, about a thousand pieces of gold and silver tableware were finished, but the water could not be used. Yang Lao sent his apprentice to concoct the solution, and took a silver plate handed over by Chang Lao and looked at it.
He's not good at these things in the first place, not to mention that this is still a foreigner? After a casual glance, he threw it on the table and said:
"These are probably the tableware of the prince's and nobleman's house, right? They're too stingy, and it's worth keeping this thing for decades? โ
"Hehe, take a look again."
Yang Laohu picked up the plate suspiciously, and looked at the English in the two logos that Chang Lao pointed out to him,
"Conquest, William? This is the cutlery used by the British royal family? So what? It's not just a silver platter! โ
"Old Yang, you are making a fool of yourself now, look at this, there is an extra mark on it, this is the coat of arms of the Duke of Normandy at that time. In 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, defeated the resistance of King Harold of England, and in the same year, he was crowned King of England, known as William I. This is a plate used by the ancestors of the British royal family! โ
"Holy! Is this thing coming from such an amazing source? Just casually thrown in a box? Take a look, is there anything else? โ
"Also, but it doesn't seem to be able to make up two sets, but it's enough, presumably the British royal family can't make up a few complete sets now, right?"
"It wasn't the royal family who invaded Myanmar at that time, right? Could it be the tableware that the royal family members brought with them when they visited Myanmar later? So why not take it away? โ
"You ask me, I ask who goes? Go back and check the information, but I don't think it's easy to find, there are few people who know the history of Myanmar, where can I find one who still has research on antiques? โ
Wu Di smiled,
"It doesn't matter, if you go to England every time, take it with you, and you'll know when you ask there, and maybe you can exchange a few things from our ancestors to come back."
"That's right, these Burmese items are also royal supplies, so much, you can consider donating some of them to the country, and it is best to give them as gifts next time they visit."
Wu Di pouted, it is better to change some wool and come back!
Chang Lao thought about it for a while, and decided that it was better to explain it clearly to Wu Di, although this guy didn't care, but there would always be a little uncomfortable when there were more such things. He beckoned Wu Di aside and whispered:
"Isn't it a little distressing to donate the money and these silverware just now? You kid, you didn't think that we were all a bunch of old guys, how many days would we live? You have so many treasures in your hands, don't you think about how to protect them? Donating a god-shattering work is a merit, is it expensive to buy a small section chief with 1.5 billion? If you donate this silverware, you will remind them to think about the earth-shattering masterpiece and stop thinking about plotting against your other treasures! โ
"Master!"
"In the past, this society, complex is complicated, it is easy to be simple, when you have a certain background, and there are a group of people who protect you, others will go around you."
Wu Di nodded, it seems that he has to work harder to keep those treasures. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, if he found the heirloom jade seal and donated it, would it ensure the safety of his Wu family for generations?
After admiring the gold and silver for a while, the robot cat and the military advisor sorted out the number, and were cooperating with Yang Lao's apprentice to register one by one, Yang Lao made a pot of tea, drank it beautifully, and said with a smile:
"Ever since I met Xiao Wu, I haven't lacked a baby. This kid didn't know what he was doing in his previous life, why did these things hit him like pieces of iron? โ
Chang Lao took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile:
"That's luck! There may not be many such people, but they lack the key link to stimulate luck, and luck may not be able to grasp it, Xiao Wu is the best among them! โ
"Transport? The clouds are the clouds and mountains and fog covers, saying that you have you, and saying that you don't have you! That's not the case with Little Five! โ
Yang Lao took a big sip of tea beautifully, watched a few apprentices come out with a guy, stood up and said:
"Okay, enough rest, the remaining two pick one at random and open it, and bump into which one is which. I guess whatever it is, you have to soak it in water, otherwise I'm afraid it will oxidize. โ
Chang Lao nodded and said with a smile:
"Let's open this box then."
Wu Di saw that the master was referring to the box that hid the Burmese gem crown, and couldn't help but wonder:
"What credit would this crown have if it had been donated?"
With the experience of the last time, it was much faster to open this time, and after a while, the box was opened, and the military advisor glanced at it and shook his head. The things here are different from the boxes just now, all of them are wrapped in thick soft cloths, and you can't see what they are.
Old Yang was quick, picked up a round thing, opened it carefully, and a blue-glazed fish-shaped bottle revealed a beautiful figure, and he whispered in surprise,
"Fish-shaped bottles! Could it be from the Tang Dynasty? โ
He handed the bottle to his apprentice and told him to go through the solution quickly. The bottles were quickly placed on a stone table to the side to dry. When Chang Lao heard Yang Lao's call, he couldn't wait for a long time, bent over and looked at it carefully for a while, and said:
"It's a blue glazed fish-shaped bottle from the late Tang Dynasty, a good thing. At that time, Yue kiln, Meixian kiln, Xiangnan Changsha kiln and Sancai all had this shape. You see, the bottle has a double fish body, with a ridge on the back, in the shape of a sink, which can be worn and lifted, and the fish body is carved with fish eyes and scales. In the fifth dynasty, the kiln also fired white-glazed double-fish bottles, and then this type gradually disappeared. Treasures, treasures! โ
Yang Lao ignored him, took out the things in the box one by one and let people brush the solution, and after a while, he untied more than a dozen burdens, and the precious porcelain pieces of bottles, bowls, or plates were all brushed with protective liquid, and placed on the stone table, and a table was full!
Yang Lao stretched out his head to look at the box and said with a smile:
"There's one left, it's still a big guy, come, let me see what the hell is hidden under the young man's clothes!"
As soon as he got his hands on it, he smiled and said:
"It's so heavy, I guess it was brought to the town box."
Then he took the things out, and was not in a hurry to open the package, looked back and forth and smiled:
"I'm afraid it's a great big guy, you see, people are still wearing fur!"
It was a cylindrical thing wrapped in animal fur, and Yang Lao put it on the square table that had just been brought out and said:
"Little Five, guess what this guy is?"
Wu Di already knew what it was, but he deliberately thought about it for a while before he replied:
"I guess it's a square-mouthed bottle."
"Hehe, although it hasn't been opened yet, you must have guessed wrong, this thing is probably a copper guy, so heavy!"
He carefully unwrapped the package, and then shuddered, froze.
This thing surprised everyone present, except for Wu Di, who was stunned for a moment when they saw it for the first time, because it was neither a square bottle, nor a round bottle, nor even a piece of porcelain. It is a crown, a prismatic high hat-like crown full of pearls and gemstones, full of exoticism! Chang Lao put down the porcelain in his hand, walked over, stared at it for a long time, Fang carefully picked it up and looked at it, and said:
"It's made of gold, this thing is heavier than a steel helmet, and I'm afraid that my neck will be crushed when I wear it on my head!"
Yang Lao came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"If the emperor is also a bad old man like me, I'm afraid that he will be crushed into the coffin in a day or two!"
"Hehe, this should be the crown of Burma, a bit like the ancient crown of Arabia. If this is also William I's, hehe......"
Old Man Yang said disdainfully:
"You just dream! If it's really William's, I'm afraid that the British royal family will go crazy! โ
Wu Di took the crown and tried to wear it on his head, it was hard and heavy, it was really not a good enjoyment, could it be that the emperor's brain at that time was in water? Isn't it a self-cure to get this thing done?
He took the crown off and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully. On the obverse of the crown, two pale gold pearls divide it into three parts from top to bottom. In the center, there is a minimum of 30 carats of the finest pigeon's blood ruby, above the ruby, there is a complex pattern of countless diamonds of about one carat, and at the top of the top hat, a small ball full of diamonds emerges, wrapped in a large deep blue sรจ gemstone.
The two areas on either side of the crown are trapezoidal and encrusted with diamonds that glow seductively in the sun. Wu Di narrowed his eyes, turned the crown over, and looked at the back. On the back, there is a pattern of a large-leaf flower, and the pattern is inlaid with various gemstones, which decorates this crown with gaudy and dazzling!
The robot cat stretched out its head and glanced at it, secretly speaking, this thing, regardless of its historical value, is just a sky-high price for these jewels and diamonds, right? This fifth brother is too good at tossing, but he hasn't been by his side for a few days, and he has made so many treasures back!
Chang Lao turned around to look at his porcelain again, and saw that Wu Di was still looking at the crown, so he picked up a blue-glazed sunflower petal covered with ice cracks and smiled:
"Throw it there, it's just a mundane thing! Look at this. These things must have been the rewards of the Burmese tribes for worshipping the Celestial Empire, but I didn't expect them to be so well preserved. Look at this gold wire, look at this iron foot, the real Jing product in the kiln! It is estimated that Lao Han should be depressed again after seeing it, this kind of thing, the Forbidden City is only eleven or two. โ
Yang Lao didn't pay attention to these porcelains at this time, he took a square black thing from the military advisor's hand, shook it in front of Chang Lao's eyes, and said with a smile:
"Look at it, Duan Yan! There is a black layer under this box, I'm afraid there are dozens of them! I said Wu Di, can you kid not be like this? Others have worked hard to find one and a half, but if you change it, you will change it to wholesale! You say, how can we play antiques live? (To be continued.) )
