Happy Tycoon

Chapter 241: See also the nautical chart

This flea market is no different from those flea markets that Yang Jing has seen before. They are mainly second-hand goods, but occasionally you can see one or two stalls selling antiques and art, but most of them are antiques of low value. artwork.

In this relatively pure flea market, it is not so easy to find high-value antique works of art.

But here, you can see a lot of artworks with local characteristics.

For example, Yang Jing saw a lot of cowboy equipment in one stall, including saddles, water reins, bridles, riding boots, spurs, stirrups and other horse gear; as well as cowboys, cowboy hats, lassos, whips and other western cowboys. Commonly used tools; of course, the necessary weapons in Western films are also indispensable.

Take the Schofield revolver, for example. This type of pistol is hinged and pops out automatically when you break off the shell. It is the best choice for fast gunners. In almost every western movie, the protagonist’s weapon is this revolver.

Of course, the necessary weapon for the sheriffs in Western films, the Colt 6 Army single-action revolver is indispensable.

This kind of fixed magazine is divided into cavalry type and artillery type. This kind of gun is even more serious. It has an appearance rate of ooo% in every western movie. It is the sheriff's favorite and Billy's bedside weapon! Although this gun is single-acting, Billy Boy can use it against a bunch of sheriffs with double-acting!

The cavalry type is used for long-range attacks on horses, and the artillery type is used for sneak attacks and assassinations. The difference between the cavalry type and the artillery type is that the cavalry type is long and the artillery type is short.

Yang Jing really likes this kind of gun, but although he holds a green card, he has not applied for a gun license, so even if he is planning to collect this kind of gun, he cannot buy it.

On the side, Chris smiled and said in a low voice: "bss, the horse gear here is good, and the weapons can only be said to be useful. If you want better cowboy weapons, if you have the opportunity to go to my hometown, I will give you Introduce a legendary cowboy. There are so many good things in his place. Even when Hollywood is making western movies, a lot of screenwriters will rent some equipment from him."

Yang Jing asked in surprise: "Really?"

The big man next to Clark McCann smiled and said, "Boss, you don't have to doubt this, I can guarantee. Chris's hometown is Pecos in western Texas. There is indeed a legendary cowboy in his hometown. The cowboys in Texas admire him, and almost all the cowboys in the West also admire him. He is the famous old Billy! Christopher Billy, a legendary and great cowboy."

Yang Jing shook his head blankly. Obviously, he didn't know the cowboy.

However, Clark spoke a little louder just now, so that the owner of the booth heard it. The owner was also very surprised and asked: "Young man, do you know old Billy?"

Chris nodded very proudly and said: "Uncle Billy's ranch is next to mys. The relationship between our two families is very good. The first time I rode a horse when I was young was in Uncle Billy's ranch. "..

"Wow, then you are so happy. My god, you actually live next door with my idol..." Like the star chasers.

Hearing what the stall owner said, Yang Jing smiled and said to Chris: "When things here are over, I think we should go to your hometown as a guest. Guys, what do you think?"

The remaining three bodyguards shook their fists in excitement.

At this time, the fat guy who had been fighting in the back came over with Lin Dan on a hook. Seeing the four bodyguards so excited, Lin Dan blew a whistle and asked: "Wow, did we two miss something good? ?"

Chris smiled and said: "James, bss said, when the matter here is over, go to my hometown as a guest and place Mr. Christopher Billy by the way."

"Christopher Billy?" Lin Dan was taken aback, and then asked excitedly: "It is the one who has won the National Rodeo Finals for seven consecutive times. He single-handedly killed seven Mexican gray wolves and saved six. The traveler, then two horses and one person, singled out the Mexican drug lord, Christopher Billy whom all the western cowboys respected as Old Billy?"

Chris snapped his fingers happily and said, "Yes, it's this old Billy!"

Lin Dan exclaimed in excitement: "Wow! Cool!"

It can be seen that Lin Dan also seems to know the old Billy very well.

The stall owner looked at these people and said with a smile: "So, cowboys, do you need to buy something from Old John? I admit, my stuff here is not as good as Old Billy's stuff, but these horses I personally made it bit by bit, and he is also quite famous in Beaumont. Guys, if you want it, I will give you a discount."

Yang Jing thought for a while, smiled and said, "Mr. John, bring me six sets of cowboy equipment. It's a pity that I haven't applied for a gun license, so I can't buy your guns."

Old John spread his hands regretfully, and then happily said: "Six sets? No problem, Old John's harness will never disappoint you."

The fat man on the side quit, pulling Yang Jing and asking: "I said Jingge, we are seven people, why do you only buy six sets of harnesses?"

Yang Jing hadn't spoken yet, and Lin Dan on the side said, "Cut, I don't understand this? Just your weight, it is estimated that no rancher is willing to use his own horse to make you ruin..."

"My a#¥%..." The two are fighting again...

Regardless of where they are playing, Yang Jing said to Chris and the four of them: "I won't buy these things for the four of you. I will take these things back as a gift. But you can choose a few here. Two revolvers, two per person, are considered a small gift from me."

Chris and the others smiled and thanked them, and began to pick out those revolvers. As soon as Lin Dan and Fatty heard this, they immediately stopped quarreling and looked at Yang Jing with sad eyes. The meaning was obvious, you are the eldest brother, why don't you buy a set for your brother?

Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't look like you two. Fatty is rich, Lin Dan is not bad for you. You two will not buy it yourself? I bought these things as gifts. If you two like it Just buy it yourself, don't be like a Grande all day long."

When they heard that they had to pay for their own money, the two of them immediately stopped talking, and walked towards other places with their backs on their shoulders.

Six sets of full harnesses cost two thousand two hundred dollars each. Old John gave a discount, and each set was one thousand eight hundred dollars.

This price is really not cheap if it is placed in the country, but compared with those domestic artificial leather harnesses, this kind of pure cowhide, handmade harness is really not expensive. Old John’s craftsmanship is very good, and these are made. The harness is a work of art.

Six sets of harnesses cost more than 10,000 U.S. dollars. Chris and the others each picked two revolvers. These eight guns are expensive. Even after the discount, the average price of each gun is as high as 3,500 U.S. dollars. .

You know, in the gun shop, a brand new Beretta 92 is only five or six hundred dollars.

However, given that these revolvers have decades of history and are considered antiques, the price is fair.

Counting the harness, the total is 39,000 U.S. dollars. Yang Jing paid the money happily, and continued to the market with the four bodyguards amid the gratitude of Old John.

The six sets of harnesses will be sent directly to Yang Jing's place afterwards by Old John. It is obviously not a good idea to go to the market with six sets of harnesses here.

The market is mostly second-hand goods, such as second-hand furniture, second-hand electrical appliances, second-hand tools and even second-hand vehicles, which can be found in this flea market.

Americans’ hobby for second-hand goods is well known in the world. They don’t treat second-hand goods as **** at all, but are very good at using them. In China, this is far worse. Most of the second-hand home appliances and second-hand furniture that Chinese people don't use will eventually be brought to the waste collection station, but in the United States, the utilization rate of second-hand goods is still very high.

Fatty and Lin Dan didn't know where they went, and Yang Jing didn't bother to care about them. They just wandered the market along the flow of people with four bodyguards, and bought things they liked. It didn't take long for the five people to hang a lot of odds and ends. Cowboy hats, deerskin gloves, animal teeth and bones...if Chris hadn't all been wearing suits, they would have become a typical western cowboy for a while.

Of course, there is no shortage of used books and old publications at this flea market. Yang Jing squatted down in front of a stall selling used books and old publications, and he slapped it twice and found that there was nothing good about getting up and walking away. As a result, the line of sight swept over the corner of the booth inadvertently, and was immediately attracted.

"Thank you to bring that sheepskin map."

The boss took the shabby sheepskin map, and Yang Jing's heart was immediately moved.

In the storage space there is still a torn sheepskin map, UU reading www.uukanshu.com. It was collected by Yang Jing from a stall owner when he was visiting the Vanfer Flea Market in Paris. It passed the Holy Ring. It was identified that the incomplete map turned out to be a pirate chart, and it was hand-painted by a pirate named Boardman in the 16th century.

And the incomplete sheepskin map in front of Yang Jing looks like another incomplete nautical chart of the island, because under the nautical chart he once received, which is close to the location of the Bermuda Islands, the map shows The ripples of a torn suit, and above, almost half of Greenland's location, was also torn apart.

And the top of the current nautical chart seems to be able to connect with the bottom of another nautical chart.

No matter how he looked at it, Yang Jing felt that the two incomplete nautical charts could be connected together, and the intuition from his heart was also very strong, so he immediately asked: "How much does this nautical chart cost?"
