Hailao porcelain, also called out of the water cultural relics, can be traced back to the Han Dynasty at the earliest, flourished after the Song and Yuan dynasties.

Most of the Hailao porcelain was produced by the folk kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was transported overseas by land and sea in the form of trade. At that time, there were many merchant ships coming and going in the Nanyang Islands, and the porcelain was almost salvaged out of the water in batches.

The set of Hailao porcelain found by Ao Jing can be regarded as a fine product.

According to the classification, it should belong to white porcelain. Except for the outermost layer of some damaged due to the collision and friction of the box, the wrapped porcelain inside is still intact, and the glaze color is also in line with the characteristics of genuine Hailao porcelain.

There are no players in China who are interested in these, and the teacher who said that he wanted to introduce her to the buyer was also because of family reasons and had overseas relations with Nanyang, so he dared to pat his chest and say so.

A few years ago, people with overseas connections lived in fear of being implicated. Since the fall of those people, those with overseas connections have trembled again.

Coastal families, especially those with better ancestral backgrounds, are basically a little distant from overseas.

It is not a secret that Ao Jing wants to buy an old house in the unit. Everyone knows that she has no parents, and her grandparents at home are not good to her, otherwise she would not have come to her brother when she was only a teenager. And now although Ao Jing has become a regular employee of the survey station, the unit will only give a small single room, and unless he is married, he can apply for a room, and he may not be able to get it.

The rest of the unit is either local, or retired and will return to their hometown, and there is not much demand for housing, let alone those decaying old houses. So although I am envious of Ao Jing for catching these, I am not so blushing.

After putting away the box of porcelain, the young men began to prepare to dig out the shells.

The meat of the pearl oyster is edible, and everyone wants a lively atmosphere, and if the pearl really opens, it is an unexpected joy.

Maybe it's a better day, they have salvaged more than 40 shells, and 10 of them have pearls in them.

However, the pearls that can be extracted from wild pearl oysters are not necessarily more valuable than those cultivated in captivity, because no one knows what those pearls will grow into before the oysters are opened.

Ten shells produce twenty-three pearls, some large and some small, some round and some of strange shapes.

Ao Jing got the Hailao porcelain and knew that he couldn't be too high-profile, leaving a medium round pearl, and the rest was distributed to his companions.

There are also two small pearls the size of a grain of rice, which she left behind to make a pair of hairpins for Vivi as a birthday present.

This time it was a smooth ride, and they also returned to the dock a day and a half early.

The set of Hailao porcelain was handed over to the teacher who helped with the wire, and said that he would be paid a point.

Ao Jing didn't worry that people would ignore her porcelain, after all, the other party was just keen on building contacts, and he really didn't have much interest in her set of Hailao porcelain.

A colleague told her privately that the teacher had always wanted to send his children abroad, so he would definitely meet the requirements of his overseas relatives as soon as possible.

People like him seem to be quite rare now, and in a few years, Ao Jing, who has seen more admiration than him, feels that as long as the other party does not violate the principle of conscience trampling, she can't say that others are so bad.

Within three days of the teacher's return, she came to her with a personable old gentleman in his sixties.

"This is my uncle, and your set of Hailao porcelain is his old man's collection."

Teacher Zhan introduced the two of them and sat down to chat.

"My uncle is very interested in marine fossils, and I heard that you have research in this area, so I want to meet you."

Ao Jing was boiling water to make tea, and smiled when he heard this: "Where can I be considered to have research, Teacher Zhan is the senior." ”

"Don't put a high hat on me, I don't know how much I can do myself?" Teacher Zhan laughed self-deprecatingly, "If you ask me about tidal action, I can still answer, I really don't know much about these fossils." ”

Many people have a misconception that if you work in this industry, you should know everything in the sea. In fact, oceanography is also a very complex subject.

The research system of modern marine science can be roughly divided into two parts: basic discipline research and applied technology research. The basic discipline is to directly take the natural phenomena and processes of the ocean as the research object and explore the development law of the ocean. The discipline of applied technology is the study of how to use these laws of nature to serve human beings. [Quoted from Baidu Encyclopedia]

Oceanography has four basic sub-disciplines: marine physics, marine chemistry, marine geology, and marine biology.

When it comes to the fossils of marine organisms, it is paleooceanography in the cross-cutting sub-subject.

Ao Jing majored in marine ecology and paleooceanography in her last life, so her understanding of marine fossils is really on the top of their units.

But she knows that other people don't know, I just think that this child has a flexible brain, a good memory, and memorizes the book after reading it, and others are still following the map, and she can already distinguish the true from the fake independently.

Teacher Zhan's clan uncle is looking for her to identify the authenticity of fossils.

In Ao Jing's time, buying and selling fossils could not be done at will, and reselling rare fossils was a violation of the law.

She glanced at Teacher Zhan and frowned slightly.

"If you don't mind, sir, can I ask what kind of fossil it is?"

The old gentleman Zhan was not ambiguous, and directly took out a few enlarged and plastic photos from his bag and handed them to Ao Jing.

Ao Jing took it and looked at it, slightly stunned.

"Sir, this isn't a fossil found here, is it?"

"I can't hide it from your eyes. This one was sent to me by a broker, saying that it was from a fossil group in the mainland. ”

Ao Jing carefully distinguished, this photo is still not very clear, but she can see the basic category at a glance.

"These pictures are all true, this is a coral fossil, this is a shrimp and a lily of the first sea. If I'm not mistaken, this is all from the same biome. It comes from the Cambrian period, about 520 million years ago. ”

Seeing the old gentleman's satisfied expression, Ao Jing thought about it, and did not say anything, but turned his eyes to Teacher Zhan on the side.

"Does the little girl think I shouldn't buy it?"

"Uh, this ......" Ao Jing scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

As a researcher, she has an obligation to stop such black market transactions, but she also knows that personal power does not work. When she was studying, the old professors said that in the early years of opening up, many treasures lost in the country went out, but even some public officials could not restrain their greed if they could exchange money for foreign exchange.

"Hahaha, this little girl ......" Mr. Zhan nodded at her and looked at Teacher Zhan next to him, "I understand what you mean, I actually came here this time to make sure if what this person said is true, if so, then call the police." ”

The old gentleman's words made Ao Jing stunned, looked up at the two of them, and didn't know how to react.

"Before you call the police, little girl, you have to do me a favor."
