Qi Siping looked very professional, I thought I had found the right person this time, holding a glass of wine to him, Qi Siping was a little excessive, hehe smiled, stretched out his hand and excused.

"I really can't drink it."

"Don't force it, don't try to get drunk when you drink, just drink and be happy." I was also afraid that Qi Siping would not be able to say anything if he drank too much, so he put down his wine glass and asked, "How can those two samples be seen after Shang Zhou?" ”

Qi Siping was also entrusted to help the Cultural Relics Bureau before, he specialized in metal cultural relics, bronzes, he has actually seen a lot.

The bronze head of Ta'er Lake and the bronze statue of a monkey, the alloy ratio is not right, and the casting is simple and crude, which can easily make people misjudge, feeling that these two things were cast a long time ago, the product of the embryonic bronze culture.

However, Qi Siping came to the conclusion based on his own experience that these two samples must have been after the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and their various defects can only represent that the founders were not proficient in bronze smelting technology, and it can even be said that they only knew a little about it. It's because it's unprofessional, that's why it's so bad.

"Can't you tell the exact date?"

"It's hard." Qi Siping unbuttoned the top of his shirt and said, "These two samples may not be from the same era, nor are they from the same place, and they can be distinguished from the copper content. They have one thing in common, though. ”

"What do you have in common?"

"In these two samples, there is a trace amount of alloy, and I can't analyze what it is."

Qi Siping detected a very small amount of alloying material in these two samples, but Qi Siping could not determine what kind of alloy it was.

Moreover, as soon as he said this, it was tantamount to saying that this matter was dead, and the equipment in the provincial capital, in a sense, was the leading in China, and it could not be detected here, and it may be useless to find someone else again.

Qi Siping didn't explain all the problems clearly, but I think that if I have a good relationship with him, I may still be useful in the future.

Therefore, after eating, Yuan Sihai pulled us to Tang Muge, Qi Siping lives in the provincial capital, and must know that this is here, so he hurriedly pushed it as soon as he arrived at the door.

"That's it...... Forget it......" Qi Siping looked at his watch: "It's not early, you go, I'll go home first......"

"After eating, drinking, and taking a bath, it's very comfortable, Lao Qi, are you treating us as outsiders?" Yuan Sihai pulled Qi Siping and walked towards the gate: "Healthy bathing, don't push around." ”

Qi Siping gave in hard, but I looked at his face and looked forward to it.

stayed in the provincial capital for two days, and made friends with Qi Siping. Yuan Sihai and I returned to Huayang, since the last time I got the bronze head of Ta'er Lake, more than half a month has passed, and Yuan Sihai has not heard the news of the half of the remaining bronze statue of Ta'er Lake. I was a little disappointed, but I was expected, it was certainly not a simple matter, and it was normal to have no news for a while.

After returning to Huayang, I asked Yuan Sihai to keep the bronze statues properly for the time being. It's heavy, and it's not safe to put in my house.

After staying in the provincial capital for two days, I plan to go back first, and it is not a problem to stay in the warehouse of the original four seas. When I was leaving, the original Sihai handed me the rubbing, which was the rubbing of the copper plate I picked up from the space where the gate was everywhere, and I forgot about it these days, and I forgot about it, and I forgot about it.

I went home with the rubbing, and sat down at the table by myself for a while. The lines on that bronze medal are really messy, and it makes people dizzy when they look at it for a while. Apart from these messy patterns, there was no other text or ornamentation on the bronze medal, and after a few glances, I really couldn't stand it.

The next morning, I haven't opened my eyes, the vibrating sound of the phone woke me up, I grabbed the phone in a daze and looked, it was a very unfamiliar landline, after connecting, the voice from the phone side, let me be a little surprised.

I could hear it, it was a's voice.

"What time is it, haven't you gotten up yet?" must have found a pay phone to call: "The early bird has worms." ”

"Lao Xu, I didn't expect it to be you." I sat up all of a sudden, I still know the temper of the, he rarely takes the initiative to call me, unless there is something: "I'm completely awake now, what's the matter?" ”

"Isn't that what you said? What, you forgot? If you forget, forget it. ”

"Don't don't, Lao Xu, I haven't forgotten." I was excited, and I was very surprised, because at that time, I asked for help, purely to expand the scope of searching, and I didn't expect him to really give anything. But I didn't expect that there was no news from the original four seas, and would be the first to call me back.

"Don't keep shouting, okay? It's hard to hear. lowered her voice on the phone and whispered: "The goods you asked me to inquire about for you are a bit of a way, but I haven't seen the goods with my own eyes, and I don't dare to guarantee you now." ”

"Got news?" I was pleasantly surprised, I didn't expect to be so powerful.

said that the news was obtained from a large supplier in Xincheng. This supplier's surname is Ma, his name is Ma Baoliang, but few people in the circle call him by his big name, and they generally call him by his nickname, Mediterranean.

The occupation in the Mediterranean is similar to that of Blind San'er at that time, but it is wider than Blind San'er's doorway, because Blind San'er only relies on landing to put a top of the family, and the supply of goods is equivalent to being restricted to death. After the promised to help me, they did inquire attentively, and after inquiring, I heard that Mediterranean had such a piece of goods in her hands.

However, when accepted my commission, I didn't explain the situation too clearly, just said that it was a broken bronze statue with no head, only a body. took this information to inquire about the news, it was impossible to be sure, and before he saw the goods, he couldn't guarantee that what the Mediterranean had in his hand was the goods I was looking for.

"Where is the man you are talking about now? Where's the goods? I hurriedly asked, "Can you arrange to see the goods first?" ”

"This kind of thing has to be talked about in person." paused and said: "Look at the current situation, I go to Huayang, it's not suitable, I'm afraid, you come to Xincheng, it's not suitable, you're also afraid, it's better like this, I'll make an appointment with Lao Hai, let's find a compromise place to meet first, how about it?" ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

As soon as I hung up the phone, I immediately asked Yuan Sihai if there was a person like Ma Baoliang in the ancient line over there in the new city. Actually, I don't believe, because he has nothing to gain from pitting me. But the stakes are high, and we still have to implement the relevant situation first.

As soon as Yuan Sihai heard that I inquired about the Mediterranean, he didn't ask anyone else, and told me directly. The Mediterranean is not one of those small characters in obscurity in circles.

Mediterranean had business dealings with Datong before, and Yuan Sihai also met him once. The man looked short and stocky, spoke loudly, and had a good sense of humor, and although he looked a little shabby, no one who had dealt with him would hate him.

The way Mediterranean does business is different from Zhao Sanyuan and Lu Fangding. He never formed a gang or an alliance with anyone, and he seemed to be helpless, but this kind of person actually figured out the ancient line thoroughly. Many young people who have just emerged in the ancient industry, in order to develop and grow, will take refuge in Zhao Sanyuan and Lu Fangding, who are the bigwigs of the ancient industry on the bright side, and attach themselves to them, which is indeed a bit beneficial, and they can have a more reliable and stable source of goods and shipping points.

However, the drawbacks in this are also very big, relying on Zhao Sanyuan, Zhao Sanyuan's road is alive, but at the same time the road of Lu Fangding is dead, as long as you deal with Lu Fangding's people in the future, people will inevitably make stumbling blocks everywhere. Moreover, Zhao Sanyuan wants to fight with Lu Fang, and he will generally pull these people who have taken refuge to be cannon fodder, and on the whole, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.

The Mediterranean Sea is very shrewd, no one will cling to it, no one will offend, do business with Zhao Sanyuan, do business with Lu Fangding, and neither side will suppress him.

The main activity location of the Mediterranean is near the new city, and there is relatively little contact with Huayang Ancient Tour. I thought about it, it is reasonable for to contact the Mediterranean.

"Is this guy easy to deal with?"

"I've only met him once, and I haven't had much contact, at least on face." Yuan Sihai said: "But don't think about things simply, he should be very shrewd." ”

I know in my heart that good people who eat fasting and recite Buddha will never be able to mix in the ancient line, and those who can mix up cannot be very kind.

After finding the original Sihai to implement the situation, I waited for the news of the, and after about an hour, the found a public phone to call me, and he said, I made an appointment with the Mediterranean, and if it was okay tomorrow, we could go to Pingxiang to meet together.

I'm still very satisfied with the arrangement of, Pingxiang is not the land of Huayang, nor is it the land of Xincheng, and when we meet in the middle of this, no one has to make a mistake in our hearts.

also specifically told me not to report their real names when they meet with Mediterranean. I know that may be afraid that as soon as my real name is leaked out, it will be passed on to Zhao Sanyuan. If Zhao Sanyuan knew that were helping me behind his back, he would definitely not have a good fruit to eat.

I said yes and prepared to meet the Mediterranean the next day.

However, I didn't completely lose my guard, and I still borrowed a few people from Yuan Sihai. Early the next morning, we set off from Huayang and then ran to Pingxiang. The place where the arranged to meet was a nondescript tea house, and I asked a few guys to wait on the road opposite the tea house.

It didn't take long for the to arrive, he obviously knew the truth of Taoguang's evasion, and ran to Pingxiang, not at all public, I don't know where to get a broken van, and came over with the Mediterranean.
