Chapter 681

As soon as the last case of four golden wine glasses was salvaged, the Ord began to return home, and everyone came to the restaurant for dinner.

This dinner was extremely rich, to celebrate the harvest of this unusually rich salvage, although no alcohol was allowed, but most of the crew's faces were red with excitement, and from time to time burst into a burst of hearty laughter.

"Xue Chen, have you already picked out three favorites from the salvage variety?" Andrew asked.

"Hmm." Xue Chen nodded in response.

While salvage, he helped clean up and carefully selected, and finally selected three of them that he was more satisfied with.

"Haha, after dinner, I must go and have a look, if you can take a fancy to it, it must be a good thing." Andrew said with a smile.

"Yes, there are thousands of things salvaged this time, I was dazzled, each one is a very good thing in my opinion, but Xue Chen must have selected the most representative boutique among them." Amanda looked at Xue Chen with soft eyes and a sweet smile.

At this time, the crew members who were still a little noisy at the other three tables in the restaurant just now quieted down, and Hans, a white man with a body like a bear, stood up, grabbed his hair with his big hairy hand, and opened his mouth with some embarrassment.

"Mr. Xue, some of the unpleasantness that happened in the past few days is our fault, I apologize to you on behalf of all the crew members who have offended you, I have heard about the etiquette of your country, I use juice instead of wine, toast you." Hans picked up the cup, motioned to Xue Chen, and drank it clean.

The other crew members who had been disrespectful to Xue Chen with words behind their backs also picked up juice and water, and apologized to Xue Chen, and everyone's expressions were very sincere.

At the beginning, the crew was jealous of Amanda surrounding Xue Chen and provoked Xue Chen, but they were taught a hard lesson, making them realize that this Chinese boy from the East was not simple and not easy to bully.

And later, Xue Chen helped find the cargo of the sunken Oasis and completely changed their opinion of Xue Chen, and it can even be said that they were in awe, because Xue Chen was too mysterious, so they didn't dare to act disrespectfully.

It was precisely because of Xue Chen that they returned with a full load, and when they went back, they could all get a large amount of generous bonuses, and naturally, they were grateful to Xue Chen, and they also regretted what they had done.

Xue Chen took a sip of water from the water cup, returned the salute, and said simply: "The past is in the past." ”

Adelaide said at the right time: "You have worked hard these days, rest well, and enjoy the journey back by the way." ”

After dinner, not only Andrew and Amanda, but even Adelaide followed Xue Chen to the cabin bedroom where Xue Chen gathered, wanting to take a serious look at the three salvage items that Xue Chen had selected.

Xue Chen had already packed the three salvage items he had selected into a thick cardboard box that had been prepared on the salvage boat, and placed them on the side of the bed in turn.

"That's it."

Xue Chen picked it up and put it on the bed, opened the cardboard box, and let the three of them look at it.

The three of them looked at it one by one, and first took out a rather large porcelain from the carton, with a height of more than 30 centimeters, a jar, with a straight mouth, a short neck, plump shoulders, a bulging belly, a flat bottom, a round body, and a round lid on it.

"This should be blue and white porcelain, right?" Andrew said.

"Yes, this is a blue and white porcelain official kiln general jar from the Daoguang period." Xue Chen said truthfully, looking at this jar with a very satisfied look.

There are at least 2,000 pieces of porcelain salvaged, but none of the ten are intact, and this general jar is more than 30 centimeters high, except for the corrosion of the seawater, there is no damage, it can be said that it is very rare, and the best thing is that its lid is not lost!

"General cans? Could it be a jar that only a great general can use to lead troops to fight? No wonder it's so beautiful, look, there are two white cranes painted on it. Amanda said with a light smile.

"No, the general's tank is not for the military." Xue Chen shook his head with a smile.

Adelaide speculated: "I think this jar must be of no simple purpose. ”

Xue Chen said with a smile: "The purpose of the General Jar is indeed not simple, the original General Jar had only one path, which is equivalent to the current ...... Urn. ”

Urn?!

Hearing that Xue Chen's beautiful jar and urn had the same effect, the three of them put it on it and touched the hands of the appreciation, and they all brushed it away.

"Used as an urn, this ...... I really didn't expect it. Adelaide said with some embarrassment.

Xue Chen smiled and said: "The general jar used to be a special vessel for Buddhist monasteries, used to hold the ashes left by cremation after the death of monks and nuns, but in the late Ming Dynasty, because the general jar was tall and straight, plump and handsome, and the outer wall was depicted with many exquisite patterns, it was gradually used as an ornament by more people and displayed at home. ”

He put his hand on this general's jar, but also like the abnormal, he once said, rather than the head of the chicken, not the tail of the phoenix, at that time a piece of blue and white porcelain from the kiln in front of him he did not want, made up his mind, since the collection, must be collected its fine products.

Now, he's finally done it.

This general jar is undoubtedly a fine product in the blue and white porcelain official kiln fired during the Daoguang period!

There are six characters of the light year system of the Great Qing Dynasty at the bottom, divided into three lines, for the seal body, the font is powerful, the strokes are heavy, the arrangement is neat, there is a gold drawing, and the official kiln is authentic.

According to what he knew, similar items were used by Emperor Daoguang or the prince's private family, and they were definitely not accessible to ordinary people.

It can be said that there are a lot of blue and white porcelain of Daoguang salvaged up, and there are less than 20 pieces in the official kiln, and this general jar is the best one without accident.

The blue and white ground on the jar depicts a pond with abundant water and grass, and there are two vivid cranes singing Acura on their necks, which means that it is also very auspicious, symbolizing beauty and reunion.

The porcelain of the Qing Dynasty must be intentional and auspicious.

Adelaide exclaimed: "Mr. Xue is really engaged in the antique business, and he really has knowledge and vision." ”

After viewing this Daoguang blue and white porcelain official kiln general's jar and putting it back in the box, Andrew opened the second box, but it was a cloisonné enamel.

"I know this thing, it's Ruyi." Andrew took out the utensils in the carton, nothing else, the shape was a ruyi, cloisonné enamel texture.

"It's so heavy." Amanda held it in both hands and exclaimed.

"The cloisonné enamel is a copper tire, so it is naturally much heavier." Xue Chen said.

Cloisonné enamel was the most prosperous in the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, that is, Kangxi, Qianlong, and Yongzheng, especially in the Yongzheng period, which was the most brilliant, but the more to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the greater the regression of the cloisonné enamel process.

One reason is that the national strength of the Qing Dynasty began to decline, coupled with the regression of technology, it was no longer purely manual, but some mechanical processing.

And this cloisonné enamel jade is generally good, the shape is beautiful, the surface is gilded, there are red, blue, pink three color rendering of large flowers, in the handle of the jade is inlaid with a small nail size ice jade, played the role of icing on the cake, the finishing touch, so that this originally golden cloisonné enamel added a bit of elegance.

Although it has been soaked and corroded by nearly 200 seawaters, it is still difficult to hide its magnificent atmosphere.

This cloisonné enamel jade is also a product of the Daoguang period, but its value is much worse than the previous Daoguang blue and white porcelain official kiln general's jar.

There were many other things in the salvage that were more valuable than this cloisonné enamel, but he didn't pick any more, because he was already content.

Andrew promised him to choose any three, except for the general's jar, if there was an accident, there was the last thing, but it was also Xue Chen's favorite one, even more than the general's jar.

While Amanda admired the cloisonné enamel Ruyi, Adelaide opened the last carton and took out the third object Xue Chen had selected.

"Is this an ivory cup?" Adelaide asked, looking at it in his hand.

"Mr. Adelaide has good eyesight, and indeed a cup of ivory." Xue Chen narrowed his eyes.

"Ho, this cup is really not small." Andrew said with a smile.

This tusk quilt is twenty centimeters tall!

But Andrew was also a little suspicious, although the price of ivory was not cheap, but it was not particularly expensive, Xue Chen would choose an ivory product, which surprised him a little.

"Xue Chen, tell us about the difference between this ivory cup, I think since you chose it, it must not be just a simple ivory cup." Amanda asked with a soft smile.

Taking the ivory cup, Xue Chen took it in his hand and gently stroked the skin of the ivory cup.

This ivory cup is very well-made, the outside of the cup body is divided into two parts, the upper part, is a complex gluttonous pattern, with turquoise as a decoration, the lower part is a pattern, with agate stone embedded in the cup body, as a decoration, the upper and lower layers, each has its own use, but the same exquisite, it is not easy, good intentions.

He rubbed the cup, said wait, walked to the bathroom, and soon returned.

Andrew saw the ivory cup filled with water at a glance, and said with a smile: "Xue Chen, do you want to use the ivory cup to invite us to drink water?" The water in the toilet is not drinkable, but it is okay to drink alcohol. ”

"It's not for you to drink, it's for you to see." Xue Chen put the ivory cup filled with water on the table and motioned for the three of them to come closer and watch.

"From my point of view, from the top to the bottom of the cup." After Xue Chen signaled Andrew, he took a step back and moved out of the way.

"Look at the bottom of the cup?" Andrew did so in confusion, frowning at first, puzzled, but after a few seconds, his eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed, "This is ......"
