"I'll go, Uncle Fang, am I so stingy in your eyes?"
Jin Muchen rolled his eyes and said, Uncle Fang laughed at this time, and then hugged Jin Muchen's shoulder.
"I'm kidding you."
But soon, the old man's eyes bloomed with the same light as Jin Muchen's before, and then said to Jin Muchen in a slightly obscene voice.
"Boy, what treasure did you find in that Great Basin National Park? Don't hide it, quickly take it out and show it to Uncle Fang. ”
This old man has been dealing with antique cultural toys all his life, and at this time, I heard that Jin Muchen could actually find something in the big basin park, but he hooked his gluttony out of his stomach.
And Jin Muchen rolled his eyes again at this time: "Uncle Fang, the things I found this time are not small, I found a shipping company, and it is being shipped back, you have to wait for two days, and I will ensure that you will open your eyes when the time comes." ”
Those petrified wood and gloomy wood or something, but they were all in his space, if he rashly took it out in front of Uncle Fang, Jin Muchen was afraid that he wouldn't scare Uncle Fang out of trouble.
As soon as Uncle Fang heard this, he immediately scratched his heart in his heart, and he couldn't see anything for the time being, but you kid always had to leak some rumors first, what did he find?
But Jin Muchen, this kid, was good when he arrived, and he didn't leak any wind in his mouth, and only told him that when he saw him, there would definitely be a surprise, so pretending to be mysterious, but he choked Fang Bo angrily, but he couldn't do anything. In the end, he had to pay for it himself. Only then did he get out of the mood.
In the evening Candace came back from school. Seeing Jin Muchen at home was also happy and strange.
On this RV trip before, Jin Muchen told her that it would take almost a month to come back at the earliest, but she only came back after a week, and the RV has not come back yet, what the hell is going on.
Hearing Jin Muchen say this about what happened to him in Big Basin Park, it scared Candace enough. Fortunately, the other person came back safe and sound, and the two talked for a long time one night, and finally calmed down their little liver that was scared enough.
In the next few days, Candace kept telling Jin Muchen that he couldn't go on such an adventurous trip in the future, but Jin Muchen was annoyed enough.
Fang Bo on the other side also didn't let him feel better, and he was fanning the flames next to him, and Jin Muchen also knew that this old man was completely because he didn't tell him what he had found in the Great Basin Park. And in retaliation.
But he just gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.
Three days later, he found an opportunity to sneak out of the house on his own. I rented a truck outside, took the petrified wood out of the space, put it in the car and transported it back.
But before going back, he also went to the dock and rented a warehouse.
The petrified wood was okay, the second house he bought was big enough to fit in, but the two gloomy woods weren't good.
The first one is okay, that is, more than 20 meters long, not too big, and it can be loaded when you take it home, but the other one, which is more than 70 meters long, is as thick as three or four people hugging, and such a big gloomy wood, his house can't fit it, so it can only be stored in the warehouse.
Fortunately, this thing, ordinary Americans do not know its value, if Americans and Chinese understand the origin and value of this thing, Jin Muchen would not dare to put this gloomy wood here so big.
He drove the truck home and hired two workers to help move the three pieces of petrified wood, wrapped in thick blankets, into the parking lot on the first floor of the second building.
There's plenty of space here, at least enough to hold a few behemoths.
When Uncle Fang saw that Jin Muchen had brought back the treasure he found in the Great Basin Park, he immediately didn't even care about the store, and directly closed the store and came to the back.
After sending the two workers away, Uncle Fang didn't wait for Jin Muchen to uncover the mystery, so he came to the front of the three pieces of petrified wood wrapped in blankets alone, and uncovered the blankets wrapped on them.
When the agate-colored gloomy wood below revealed his true face, Fang Bo immediately froze.
He has been in the antique entertainment business for decades, and what kind of treasure this is, he recognized it at a glance.
There was a time when Tibetan Buddhism was particularly popular in the United States, especially a few Hollywood stars, who said in a TV interview that they were good friends with that big lama @ Ma, and that mysterious West @ Tibetan Zen Buddhism was quite touched.
This kind of prayer beads, bracelets, and Buddhist beads made of petrified wood were once sold very well in the market, and he also bought a lot of goods from China.
However, many of those are low-end goods, which belong to worthless road goods, so it is easy to fool the layman, and even many are simply fakes, that is, finely processed glass beads, but they also helped him fool a lot of money from which foreigners.
Now looking at such a large stump of petrified wood, and it is in such good condition, Uncle Fang was stunned for a moment.
"You kid...... This...... This luck ...... This god thinks too highly of you, right? Could it be that he wants you to be his son-in-law? Why haven't I ever encountered such a good thing? ”
Looking at this amber round table-shaped petrified wood stump, Fang Bo was already a little incoherent with excitement.
He'd seen a lot of petrified wood, but most of them were small beads the size of a fingernail, and the color was generally not good.
But the one in front of me is different, the amber petrified wood in front of me is completely from the magic of nature, and there is no trace of artificial carving.
And the condition is so good, there are no tree tumors, no wormholes, no cracks, cracks, and you can see clear and complete tree rings on the round tabletop, such a piece of petrified wood.
Uncle Fang didn't even know what kind of words to use to describe his first feelings!
With his experience, just such a wooden stake is already worth opening a museum for Jin Muchen, and when the time comes, if he puts this big stump out, countless people will be willing to spend money to come in and see it.
At that time, countless people from the Natural History Museum will come to the door and kneel and lick it, begging them to agree to lend them this petrified wood to a traveling exhibition.
And those rich people will definitely wave checks and smash the threshold of their homes, just to be able to invite this stake home and offer it, or specially pretend to show off......
What a treasure!
"How much does this thing weigh? Well, looking at the shape, there are probably a few tons, right? ”
Fang Bo looked around the stake, touched his chin and said to himself.
"Well, I weighed five and a half tons before loading the truck. This piece of jade in the wood, I plan to make it into our new family's dinner table, and when the time comes, all the roots under this will be cut down, this thing looks bad, and then process it well, this is definitely a perfect dinner table. ”
Jin Muchen stood in front of Uncle Fang, touched his chin and said.
Unexpectedly, in exchange for Fang Bo's tiger eyes, he raised his hand and slapped Jin Muchen's head.
"I'll kill you, a loser? Are you such a spoiler of your baby? ”
Jin Muchen was also stunned by Uncle Fang: "What kind of waste is this?" ”
"You know what a? In the past, you were asked to learn from me about Chinese antique wood and gemstones, but you kid just didn't listen, and now you are timid, can this thing be carved and pondered casually? You're a natural baby, you still want to carve it, you're not Aibao, you are ruining the treasure, do you know? ”
Uncle Fang's eyes widened and pointed at Jin Muchen and scolded, Jin Muchen laughed embarrassedly, scratched his head, and said secretly in his heart, how can I care about getting so much, not to mention the cooking table, the roots of the tree below it look really uncomfortable.
"The collection of this kind of petrified wood is the best if it is made of nature and is processed without the help of external forces. Especially your petrified wood, you look at it delicate and warm, and the texture and cell structure of this tree are clearly displayed, this is the best in the wood jade, how can you say that you want to carve it? ”
Fang Bo pointed to the wooden jade on the original desktop and said to Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen was a little unconvinced.
"Uncle Fang, I know what you mean, this thing is about an original flavor, but if you look at the root system below here, it is horizontal, how can these roots and veins have nothing to say? It looks like it's all black bark, and if you want to put it behind, it's not so easy to put it on. We are in the antique business, not a museum, if you open a museum, this thing is the best original, but if you put it in our home, do you think it is appropriate? ”
When Uncle Fang heard Jin Muchen say this, when he looked at the black root system underneath, he also felt that what Jin Muchen said was right, these roots below were indeed not very elegant.
At the same time, he also had a warm heart, he used to learn carpentry and jade, and later after coming to the United States, he also did a lot of hard work in this area, but in recent years because of raw materials, and hand and eye reasons.
Now seeing such a piece of natural gemstone, this old man suddenly moved his heart, and some skills itched!
He looked at Jin Muchen, and then at the huge piece of jade in the wood in front of him, it really seemed to be a bit of a waste if he just put it like this, but even if he sawed off all the branches below, how many ornaments could be made with these things alone? Trinkets?
"You kid, huh? Haha, there is such a treasure, even if the emperor in the past is not as rich as you! 5.5 tons of natural gemstones, even if you get some slag and process it casually, I don't know how much it can be sold? ”
Thinking of this, Uncle Fang couldn't help but sigh that this Jin Muchen's luck was really against the sky! (To be continued......)
