**************

After listening to Tanaka's story, more than a dozen pieces of Duan inkstone have also been packed, and the silver and goods are in both hands, not delayed or owed, and the two sides say goodbye to each other and leave.

However, at this time, Jin Muchen can definitely be said to be walking with the wind, not to mention how refreshing this mood is, thirteen high-grade inkstones, it only cost 26,000 US dollars, if this deal is said, it will be known by domestic peers, and they will definitely envy him.

How big of a piece of shit do you have to step on to meet such shit luck?

With good luck, it is not enough to describe such a big leak that Jin Muchen picked up.

Of course, such a thing can only happen in the United States, and if you change to China, or Europe, which is more knowledgeable, such a thing cannot happen at all.

Speaking of this, Jin Muchen is really grateful to the United States, the world's best power, precisely because this country has a short history of development, so they don't have much of their own culture.

It is precisely because of their super national strength that they can gather so many treasures from all over the world in their country, and it is also because of the strong expansion of the United States' national strength that so many treasures have fallen into the hands of those who do not understand the value of these treasures, and they are left to treat people like this to develop.

If you change it to a country like China with a history of thousands of years, and you have played with antiques for several lifetimes, you don't even want to pick up such a big leak.

Although these more than a dozen pieces of inkstone are all high-grade handicrafts exported after the founding of the People's Republic of China, their value can no longer be measured by handicrafts.

When these inkstones are produced, such inkstones. It is also regarded as a literary play. But now, decades have passed. When the Duanyan mine in eastern Guangdong Province has been sealed for 20 years, this kind of Duanyan can't be seen as an ordinary literary play.

Although they have been produced for a relatively short time, because of their special historical status in the history of Chinese antiques and the scarcity of resources, these inkstones can already be classified into the category of antiques.

Jin Muchen, who was in a very comfortable mood. At this time, even walking felt a little brisker, and the fatigue of walking outside for a day was swept away at this time.

With Candace with them, the two came out of the market together, and then walked briskly back to the hotel.

Because he wanted to find Uncle Fang to share his joy, when he returned to the hotel, Jin Muchen knocked on Uncle Fang's door.

After a while, Uncle Fang came to open the door, and it turned out that this old man had been pondering the sword in the hotel all morning. Finally, the sword was almost cleaned, and I slept in the afternoon. At this time, he had probably recovered his spirits.

Without waiting for Jin Muchen to show him his results in the afternoon, the old man took out the sword and began to tremble in front of Jin Muchen.

"Hey, how's it going? Fang Bo's craftsmanship is not bad, right? ”

Looking at the sword that had been cleaned up, Jin Muchen's eyes also lit up, the carbon dirt on the original sword body of this sword had basically been scraped off, revealing its complete true body.

Looking at the shape, it is basically no different from the Yue Wang Goujian sword hidden in the Xiangbei Provincial Museum.

Because they are all swords made by King Yue, the system is the same, but the sword of this sword does not have the gem inlaid on the sword of King Yue Goujian.

However, the pattern on the sword body is basically the same as the Yue Wang Goujian sword, which is regarded as a national treasure.

Another difference is that although this sword has been cleaned by Fang Bo, in terms of appearance, it is still not as well preserved as the Yue Wang Goujian sword.

After all, the sword was found from the ancient tomb, and then it was put directly into the museum, and this sword should have been preserved quite well in the early stage, but unfortunately it was Paul later. Singh, because he was angry with Arthur who gave him the sword. Sackler deceived him, so he used this sword to chop wood and burn sticks.

Although the quality of this sword was very good, being used in this way still caused some inevitable damage to this sword.

For example, there have been some cracks in the blade of the sword, and because it has been used as a burning stick all year round, even if it is cleaned, the color of the sword body is still a little black, and some carbon particles that have penetrated into the sword body are difficult to clean out.

"Hey! I have done my best, but after all, I am not a professional repairer of ancient weapons, the material of this sword should be copper and tin, and it was not easy for the ancients to make such a sword with such soft metal. And it has been used as a burning stick for so many years, and this sword is still not deformed or broken, which already shows the manufacturing process of the year, but unfortunately my technology can't restore it to its original appearance......"

Looking at the sword that Jin Muchen held in his palm and kept looking up and down, Fang Bo still let out a sigh.

Jin Muchen smiled and put away the sword: "Don't worry, Uncle Fang, when we go back to New York, I will definitely contact the best ancient weapon restoration experts to repair this ancient sword." ”

In fact, that expert was himself, as long as this sword was placed in his purple jade space for one night, it would definitely be repaired as good as ever, but these words could not be said in front of Fang Bo.

Uncle Fang nodded, originally Jin Muchen wanted to pull Uncle Fang to show him the loot this afternoon, but seeing the old man like this, he might not have eaten all day.

It just so happened that he and Candace had been shopping all afternoon, and they were a little hungry, so the three of them went downstairs and found a Brazilian barbecue to eat.

And Fang Bo, who had restored most of the original appearance of the ancient sword, was also in a good mood and ate a lot at night.

When the group returned to the hotel, Jin Muchen took Uncle Fang back to his room, and spread the dozen inkstones on the bed, Uncle Fang looked at him and smiled: "I know that you kid, you won't go anywhere in vain." ”

As he spoke, he came to the bed, picked up an inkstone, and as soon as he got his hands on it, Uncle Fang's face was condensed, and then he began to carefully observe the inkstone in his hand.

After a while, Fang Bo's application became more and more solemn, stroking the inkstone, and then picking up another piece, and from time to time he could let out some sighs.

After putting down the last piece, Uncle Fang raised his head even more, looked at Jin Muchen with eyes full of disbelief and said, "These are all you collected today?" ”

"Hey, of course!"

"How much did it cost?"

"Twenty-six thousand dollars!"

"What? Twenty-six thousand? ”

When Uncle Fang heard such a total price, he really couldn't hide the surprise in his heart, Jin Muchen's luck was too good, right?

How come I haven't encountered such a good thing?

He stretched out his finger and pointed, and Jin Muchen then shook his head: "You kid, this luck is really ......"

"Hey......

Fang Bo stretched out his hand and pulled the three inkstones in front of him: "These inkstones are all end inkstones, you must know it, but do you know the origin of these three inkstones?" ”

Looking at the three inkstones that Fang Bo pulled in front of him, Jin Muchen shook his head, when he collected these inkstones in the afternoon, he just paid attention to the materials of these inkstones, and he probably knew that these inkstones were all end inkstones.

And according to the workmanship and flickering light, some basic inferences have been made about these inkstones, these should be handicrafts produced after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but now looking at Fang Bo's expression.

Could it be that I was mistaken, in these inkstones, there are still antique inkstones from the previous years?

Is this unlikely?

I should not be wrong to judge the age according to the flickering light on this inkstone!

Uncle Fang pushed one of the inkstones in front of Jin Muchen: "You are taking a good look." ”

Jin Muchen picked up this inkstone, the size of this inkstone is not small, about forty centimeters long, twenty centimeters wide, but the shape is not very regular, the lower part of the inkstone is a grinding plate, and the upper part is some carving decoration.

The sculpture is divided into two parts, the upper part is a dragon riding the clouds, the lower part is the sun slowly rising, and at the bottom of the pattern is a blue sea.

Next to this pattern, there is also a poem: "The song of the great river strikes the east of the head, and the dense group of people is poor; Facing the wall for ten years, it is difficult to reward the heroes of the sea! ”

This poem looks majestic, but Jin Muchen thought about it, and he never remembered where he had seen this poem before, but just looking at the momentum of the poem, he knew that the author of this poem should not be a mortal.

Could it be that this inkstone was once used by an ancient celebrity? And which famous person's inscription is this poem?

At this time, Jin Muchen was full of doubts, but he couldn't figure out the origin of this inkstone.

After all, if this inkstone is really used by ancient Chinese celebrities, then in various ancient documents, there should be a record of this inkstone, although he is not widely written, but in recent years about Chinese history of various documents have also read a lot.

Regarding the record of such an inkstone, he really hadn't seen it in the history books he had read.

He couldn't think of it for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Uncle Fang, and at this time Uncle Fang was hehe, don't think that you kid, it's great if you can find a treasure, in fact, in the antique industry, your kid's Taoism is still shallow.

"Why don't you say you're lucky? You can find such an inkstone, you are really lucky. However, if these inkstones are really inherited from his cheap Japanese grandfather, as Tanaka said, this is also in the past, otherwise you would not have seen such an inkstone at all. ”

"Oh, Uncle Fang, don't sell Guanzi, what is the origin of this Fang inkstone?"

Jin Muchen was already scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry at this time, but Uncle Fang smiled: "The reason why the second inkstone fever arose in Japan back then was because of this Fang Duan inkstone, because this was the national gift given by Taizong to the Japanese back then!"
