Jesse's standing up made Jin Muchen feel very surprised, and the stall owner was even more stunned.

What do you mean? Could it be that this wood carving or something good can't be? You must know that this wood carving has been placed in their house for many years, and no one has ever been able to say the head, but they only know roughly that this statue was once snatched from the Indians by his ancestors who participated in the development of the American West.

At that time, relying on the wealth stained with the blood of the Indian scalp, their family was also brilliant, but life was full of ups and downs, to his grandfather's generation, the family's investment failed, and the family began to fall in the middle of the road, plus he had an unreliable father, and the family of several generations of ancestors worked hard to build the country, and finally to his generation, basically ruined, so he could only fall to the point of buying second-hand goods in the second-hand market.

The statue was originally regarded by his ancestors as a trophy for the expansion of the territory, and it had been kept in the study of their original mansion, but his grandfather did not like the strange smell of the statue and put it in the basement.

Later, he didn't like the strange smell of this thing, so he took it to the market and sold it, he has been setting up a stall here for several years, but this broken thing has not been sold.

Today, someone is willing to be the wronged person and spend four hundred dollars to buy this thing, and he was quite happy, but now that this woman said this, his heart was also moved.

Originally, there were some stall owners who didn't have much business around. At this time, they all gathered around. Middle-aged uncles and aunts in the United States. It's no different from China's aunts and uncles, as long as there is excitement to watch, it will definitely not fall.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Hmph, open your eyes and take a good look at this wood carving."

Jesse asked Jin Muchen to put down the wood carving, he was also more curious about this statue, he could see the dress that this wood carving was wearing. It should be a baby, but he doesn't know exactly what the treasure method is.

After all, this involves the cultural inheritance of the indigenous people of North America, and with his current understanding of American history, he really can't say why, originally wanted to bring back the wood carving and find someone who knows how to help study it.

Now it seems that there is no need, Jesse seems to know a lot about this wood carving.

"You look at the carved figure of a wood carving, with a narrow forehead and wide cheeks. The hairstyle is mainly for hair identification, and this wood carving has a tattoo on the face. The pattern is the most intuitive illustration, which should be the wood carving of the ancestors of the Cheyenne people. ”

Jesse pointed to the wood carving and said to the stall owner, in fact, it was also to popularize the knowledge of Indian wood carving to the onlookers.

In fact, as early as the immigrants from the European continent and landed on the American continent, there were hundreds of Indian tribes living on the American mainland.

"The Cheyenne are Indians who lived in New Jersey in the early years, and their current territory is next to Philadelphia......"

"Don't talk about these useless things, I have also studied this wood carving, I know that it is a thing of the Cheyenne tribe, but so what? It's an old object, but so what? The carving of this wood carving is very rough, and the materials used are also very ordinary, using the most ordinary boxwood, so even if it can be regarded as an antique, it is not worth a lot of money? ”

The stall owner was obviously very unconvinced, this wood carving had been in his house for many years, and it was certainly impossible to say that he had not studied it at all.

"Besides, this kind of wood carving, which is now available in almost every second-hand market, is not a rarity at all, and if you like it, I can even find you a wood carving left by the ancestors of the Navajo or the Cherokees?"

Although his heart is furious, but this stall owner doesn't want to show cowardice in front of Jesse, if he is really proved to be a fool with eyes and beads by this chick today, then how will he mix in this market in the future?

The corners of Jesse's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

"Forget it, I'll just tell you directly. As you said before, this kind of wood carving is really worthless, but do you see this dress on this wood carving? ”

"Besides, I thought you were talking about some kind of treasure? It turned out to be that broken thing, hehe, the strange smell of the tattered clothes before, I want to burn it? Why, are you going to sue me now, this rag is a good thing? ”

A touch of panic flashed in the stall owner's eyes, looking at the little girl's expression when she spoke, he was beating a drum in his heart, could it be that he really became blind once?

"You still want to burn it? I thank you for not taking the time, and I ask you to read a few more books if you have time. This tattered dress in your mouth is actually a raincoat handmade by the Indians back then, and the material of this raincoat is very unusual, it is made of whale casings. At that time, only some Indian tribes living along the coast could make zuò, and because of the scarcity of materials, such raincoats were quite rare, and they had to be very high-ranking people in the tribe to have them. ”

When Jesse said this, the stall owner was already dumbfounded, and the other onlookers were also in an uproar at this time.

Jesse said it so clearly, as long as everyone present is not a fool, they can basically understand that this tattered clothes that seem dirty and smelly must be a very scarce treasure.

"You...... How can you be sure that this ragged garment is the raincoat worn by the Indian chiefs back then? ”

The stall owner is still a little unwilling, if this rag is really as this woman said, then losing face is secondary, the key is that he has to lose a lot of money this time, the things have been sold, the silver and goods have been lost, and many people have seen it.

If you want to come back, you can't just rely on cheating.

"Why? Because I've seen raincoats like this before! There are only three pieces of this tattered dress in the United States, one of which is in the National Museum of History in Washington, D.C., the other two, one in the National Center for Indian Studies, and one in the Kipewa tribe's own museum. ”

After Jesse said this, the people around him were in an uproar again.

There are only three pieces of this ragged dress in the whole United States, and now there is a fourth one here, and the cherishing is almost undoubted.

Don't look at the current collection market in the United States, Indian artifacts are not too popular, but even so, this dress is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?

If you meet a rich man who likes Indian culture, he can sell it for millions in a minute.

As soon as Jesse said this, the middle-aged stall owner, as if he had been struck by lightning, stayed on the spot, and his originally ruddy face suddenly became pale as paper.

His eyes were glazed, and he couldn't stop muttering to himself, as if he was about to have a nervous breakdown.

Whoever heard such a result, it must be the same, the original family was in the middle of the road, and he had been thinking about turning over, but the treasures worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions, left by the ancestors were sold cheaply by himself for only four hundred dollars, such ups and downs, no one can accept it.

Jin Muchen saw that the stall owner looked a little lost and depressed, for fear that he would go crazy after a while, and if he broke out and hurt people, it would be inappropriate, so he quickly pulled Jesse, squeezed out of the crowd, and slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet.

"Is what you just said true?"

Jesse and Jin Muchen sat in the SUV that Jin Muchen drove, and Jin Muchen's eyes swept over the statue placed on the back seat from time to time through the rearview mirror.

He was a little uncertain, did Jesse say that just now in order to deliberately anger the stall owner, after all, Jesse had never had any substantive contact with this wood carving before, and he hadn't even touched it, how could she conclude that the clothes on this wood carving were the raincoats worn by the chiefs of the Cheyenne tribe?

Jesse, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was hehe: "Do you want me to help you identify?" That's an appraisal fee! ”

"No problem, you can make a price!"

"Okay, I want you to owe me three favors, if I have something to ask for in the future, you must agree!"

This Jesse is cunning enough, Jin Muchen smiled helplessly at her.

"Okay, as long as I can."

“ok！ Deal! That's because when I was studying history in college, I had a very good classmate, and she was from the Cheyenne ethnic group. At that time, she led me to visit a lot of Indian museums, so I really saw a raincoat like this, and I didn't lie before. She told me at the time that her tribe had used to have such raincoats, but unfortunately they were lost due to European immigrants and wars between tribes. As for why I didn't even get my hands on it, I'm sure it's a raincoat made by the Indians out of whale casings? That's because of the smell of this raincoat, the Indians used a very special method to deal with whale casings at that time, they used very strange drugs to prevent this raincoat from rotting over time, so if this raincoat is left for a long time, it will have that strange smell. I used to be at the National Indian Research Center and the Kipewa Tribal Museum, and I smelled it when I visited it, and to be honest, it was always a nightmare for me. So, I didn't even have to get my hands on it today, but when I smelled this strange smell, I knew it must be the raincoat of the Indians. ”

Jesse was very honest, and after listening to her explanation, Jin Muchen finally landed on a big stone in his heart, and finally knew the origin of the clothes.

He knew that this thing was a treasure before, but he didn't know exactly what the treasure method was, and with Jesse's explanation, he finally knew the reason. (To be continued......)
