The Forrell brothers were born in a wealthy family, and they are also people who have seen the world, plus their ancestors, who started by playing with antiques, and for so many years, their family has been begging for a living around the Friel and Sackler Art Galleries, so they still know a lot about antiques and various works of art.

Their grandfather was an expert in Chinese antiques, although Charles. Friel's specialty is ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting, but there are also references in other aspects, and later their grandfathers and fathers have always revolved around Chinese antiques, but the collection of those ancestors is not only limited to ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting, but also began to extend to other aspects, especially all kinds of miscellaneous items.

Their father, in particular, was more specialized in the collection of classical Chinese furniture, and the two brothers, Martin. Forrell isn't too good at that, but this Chris. When it comes to antique appraisal, Forrell isn't exactly a straw bag, he still has two brushes.

Now they both noticed that the two chairs sitting under their butts were unusual, and they both stood up and began to circle around the chairs.

"Chris, what the hell is this made of? It doesn't look like it's ordinary wood, it's cold and cold, and it's really comfortable to sit on such a chair on such a hot day. Could it be that this is the kind of furniture made of golden silk nanmu used by ancient Chinese emperors? ”

Martin looked at it for a long time, and then asked his brother Chris Dao, in this antique appraisal, he only has a little bit of a skin, not as specialized as his brother, and Chris only shook his head when he listened to Martin's question at this time.

"This is no ordinary chair made of wood...

"Could it be rosewood?"

Martin only knew that ancient Chinese furniture was made of those precious woods, but he didn't know much about what kind of wood had and what characteristics it was.

And Chris this time, he shook his head again to deny Martin's judgment: "It's not sandalwood, these furniture are definitely not made of ordinary wood." It shouldn't even be made of wood... ”

Chris reached out and touched the chair, feeling the temperature of the chair and the feel it gave him, and then said, while Martin was confused.

"Not made of wood? So what exactly is that made of? Well, this furniture really doesn't feel like it's made of wood, it's cool, it's slippery, it's more like stone? ”

Martin, a layman, followed Chris's example, reached out and touched the chair to feel it, and then said, while his brother was standing opposite him and nodded.

"That's right, these furniture should not be made of wood, if I am not mistaken, it should be furniture made of petrified wood."

Chris's judgment made Martin scratch his head, he, a layman, didn't know what petrified wood was at all, and when he looked up at Chris, waiting for his all-knowing brother, to explain to him, he saw that Chris was already staring at this set of furniture with red eyes, and his eyes were like seeing a wolf with a lamb.

At this time, Chris glanced up at Martin, and then asked, "Do you have a knife with you?" ”

"Huh? Do? ”

This Martin has been a guy who doesn't let the family worry since he was a child, he likes to dance knives and get guns since he was a child, and later caused a lot of trouble, so he was forbidden by his family to carry a gun with him, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a gun on his body, this guy generally likes to carry two knives, one is a butterfly knife he likes very much, and one is a Swiss multi-functional army knife.

"Don't ask, give it to me."

Chris, as his own brother, of course knew his brother's virtues, and he didn't care about explaining to him at this time, but just asked him for a knife.

Martin hurriedly took out the Swiss Army Knife from his body and handed it to Chris, who took the saber without saying a word, and reached out to scratch the stool, apparently trying to scrape some crumbs from it.

But just as he was about to make a move, suddenly the door of the room they were in rang, and then Chris put away the saber almost with lightning speed, and when he looked up again, he just saw the beautiful woman who had been following Jin Muchen before walking in with a tea tray.

And at this time, the woman looked at the two of them, and her eyes were also full of teasing and disdainful smiles: "If I were you, I wouldn't do this, because if you really destroy this chair, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it." ”

Belinda's words made Chris's face flush, and Martin was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "What do you mean by that?" ”

"What do you mean? Don't you understand? The origin of this set of furniture is not simple, although this is not a real antique, but can't you see the material of this set of furniture? This is petrified wood, one of the few living fossils of wood found in human history so far, do you know how expensive this thing is now? In the United States, this kind of wood is sold in grams, graded according to its quality, and the top one is more expensive per gram than a diamond, and such a set of furniture, such a large shape, such a completeness, and this process, how do you think this set of things should be counted as money? If you scratch a little, do you think you can afford it? ”

Belinda's words were like machine guns, and she didn't save face for the two of them, and at this time, Martin was the same as Chris, his face turned red, he looked at Chris, and Chris nodded at him, signaling that the woman was right, he had to stay calm and not make trouble here.

"Well, I'm sorry, we were reckless, Ms. Belinda, and I apologize for my previous actions."

Chris rounded, then turned around and sat down in a chair, since they couldn't afford it, they had to sit back and feel it, after all, this is the legendary petrified wood.

When the United States discovered this thing, it caused a wave of national treasure digging craze, and the petrified wood found that year was swept away by those tycoons without waiting to be auctioned, so that now in the world of American cultural toys, there is no such thing at all, as long as there is, it will be immediately pocketed by those tycoons.

I really didn't expect that today in such an inconspicuous antique store, I saw such a complete set of furniture made of petrified wood, and you see the workmanship, but it is completely in accordance with the most classic furniture style of the Ming Dynasty in China.

This can reflect the very high production skills of the craftsman, and the carving of this furniture dealer, simple, brief, such a set of furniture, if taken out, it is definitely a top work of art, although this is made by modern people, not many years, but it does not matter, just the materials used in this furniture, and the process is already worth the price.

Today's trip here is finally worth the trip, to be able to see such furniture, and to experience a piece of this petrified wood furniture, this trip is really not in vain, even if you go out to boast to others in the future, you can also have something worth bragging about.

But is it difficult to miss this set of furniture before you see it? Such a rare treasure is left in the hands of this damned Chinese? It's really a little unwilling, think about it...

But now is not the time to think so much, some things, you have to think about it in the long run, and when I go back today, I am thinking about how to get such a treasure.

In particular, a damn Chinese, in our American land, is not the mainstream at all, and when the time comes, you don't want you to do anything, you have to do it? If you don't believe me, we'll see.

This Chris. At this time, Forrell's eyes were grunting in his sockets, and he also had a bad heart in his heart, planning to take Jin Muchen's set of furniture by force, anyway, there are many such things in the antique world in the United States.

And at this time, how can Belinda not see the expressions of these two brothers, don't look at her usually seems to be a quiet intellectual beauty, but in fact, she has a lot of eyes at all, and has dealt with those people who are full of malice towards her for so many years, many times she only needs to look at the eyes of those people, and she can know what bad ideas these people are fighting.

Seeing Chris's eyes now, Belinda knew that this guy was turning his head again, but she was not afraid, because she believed in Jin Muchen more, and there was a way to deal with these two people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

There was no nonsense, she directly put the tea explained by Jin Muchen on the coffee table in the middle of the chair where the two were sitting, and then took the tea tray and walked out of the room.

At this time, when Belinda came out of the room, Martin immediately turned his head to look at Chris, hoping that he could give himself a good explanation, but Chris stopped him with a wave of his hand, indicating that this was not the place to talk, and that he would talk about it when he had something to say.

Martin held back all the doubts in his stomach, and then Chris reached out and picked up the teacup, intending to take a sip, but as soon as the teacup was in his hands, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Looking down at the teacup in his hand, hey, good things... This shop, it seems that Harry, really didn't brag to himself, it's indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... This good thing is one after another, and it keeps appearing!

Although he spent $200,000 to buy two tickets before, it looked a bit unjust, but now after seeing such a set of furniture and a set of tea sets in his hand, Chris began to feel that the money was spent without resentment. (To be continued.) )
