The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

　　In this era when blue and white dragon-patterned jars were fired, people all over the world are crazy about blue and white porcelain, not only because of its practical value, but also from the unique aesthetic of blue and white porcelain.

　　 However, the porcelain is fragile and not suitable for use on a bumpy boat. In order to use this luxury on the boat, I didn't know where artisans actually added a "vest" to this blue and white pot. It was really awkward to look at it.

　　"Just hang up the jar when you are on the boat. Even if you encounter wind and waves, the jar will sway along with it. It will not fall, and the contents in it will not be easy to spill out.

　　 is a very useful way, it is a bit extreme, or not too troublesome. I think my relatives and the curator of the museum told me that the original Chinese sailors usually used a simple net bag to solve this problem, using this craft..."

　　 Zhang Nan thought for a while, "Nineteen out of ten are Europeans. The riveting technique of this brass band is a bit like that of the west, but it's not entirely certain.

　　 is that after the Portuguese invaded the Strait of Malacca in the mid-Ming Dynasty, Cathay Porcelain began to be exported directly to India and Europe in large quantities as an important trading product.

　　 may be Portuguese or Dutch craftsmanship, they like to add metal decoration on the outside of the porcelain, it is very different aesthetics. "

Old Valmar also feels reasonable about Zhang Nan’s judgment, because he thinks that even if the South Indian shipowners would embark on a voyage in person, they would not make such an alternative luxury product. Only the Portuguese stupid guys would. Do it!

　　 Of course, this is just the guess of the two. As for which country coppersmith added this copper hoop vest, perhaps only God knows it, and there will never be a conclusion.

The blue and white porcelain jar was also found on the outer side of the treasure base. It originally contained more than a dozen kilograms of gold coins issued by the East India Company before the mid-19th century. It is speculated that this blue and white porcelain jar should have been placed in the basement for nearly 150 years. .

　　 He had no idea about the East India Company gold coin, Zhang Nan, he had a lot: he found some in the treasures of the Philippines, which should have been brought by the trade between British colonists and Southeast Asian colonies in the 18th and 19th centuries.

　　Gold coins are not broken. They were plundered by little devils during the Pacific War and eventually became Zhang Nan's collection.

This is the end of the banquet tonight, but before leaving the banquet hall, Zhang Nan said to the old Valmar: "Thank you and the priests of the temple for the gift. I will give back to the **** Padmanabaswami with the same weight of gold. Temple as a thank you."

　　 There are back and forth, there is no question of who loses and who makes money in this matter, it is a courtesy exchange.

　　Besides, a few gifts add up to a few kilograms, and out of courtesy, Zhang Nan gave out the same weight of gold and didn't care at all.

　　 Don’t take things about gods for nothing, no matter what gods you are, you can disbelieve people, but you have to maintain a basic respect. This is a habit that Zhang Nan has always maintained for two lifetimes.

　　 When I was a child, my grandmother told me that the child from the village urinated on the ruins of the deity smashed by the "broken-four olds", and I remembered the death of his lower body by erosion for a lifetime.

　　 also remembered the person who stole the head of the deity's idol home in the middle of the night to hide it. The temple was rebuilt more than 20 years later. The family gave the head of the idol. The descendants of the family are said to be doing well.

　　 I am not so in awe of the foreign **** Zhang Nan, but on the territory of the family gods, the Indian gods in the temple have no contradiction with him. It is better to maintain the necessary courtesy.

　　Of course, there is a place in the world where the gods will not let Zhang Nan have any awe. Just the little devil, it would be good if Amaterasu’s house was not burned!

　　 On behalf of the priests of the temple, the old Valma thanked Zhang Nan for his friendship. He knew that Mr. Allen did not believe in the temple Lord Shiva at all, just out of courtesy.

　　 Early the next morning, several pieces of one-kilogram American modern standard gold bars appeared in front of the host's family, which made the Valmar family feel a little strange—when did the gold bars arrive?

　　 Old Valmar did not show any special surprise on his face. As Zhang Nan's friend, Davinlar Valmar did not need to be reserved, and directly asked the question in his heart.

　　 Even if you send someone to buy it, it won't be so fast. Even if there are imported American gold bars in the gold store, this meeting has just opened!

　　 Zhang Nan didn't keep his friends' questions confidential, and said with a smile: "My friend, for so many years, I have always believed that paper money is not a panacea, including U.S. dollars.

　　 So all these years when I travel abroad, especially when I go abroad, I always bring some gold. Only gold is money at all times. "

　　 Old Valmar shook his head and smiled when he heard it: "Haha! Mr. Allen said that gold is always money!

Our ancestors have the same view, but they like to make gold into gold chains for preservation. This time we found thousands of gold chains of 2.5 kilograms in the basement of the temple. At this point, we all It's a kind of people.

　　Davin, in the future, when you go abroad, I think you and your brothers will also bring a few gold chains for emergency. Just like Mr. Allen said, even the dollar is not omnipotent, only gold is money everywhere! "

　　 is the same type of people, all rich people, otherwise playing gold.

　　 Today’s original arrangement was to visit Trivandrum. Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan have not been to see the temple there, nor have they enjoyed the scenery here.

　　 Kerala is different from North India. There is basically no mess, and the natural scenery is very good.

　　The main territory of the Valmar family is in the plains, gentle hills and mountain areas~www.readwn.com~The coastline is only a short section. If you want to see the beautiful tropical seascape and the blue Indian Ocean, you have to go dozens of kilometers to the west.

　　 All the gold presented to the temple is here, and it happens to be presented to the temple together.

This is how I set off, and I visited the temple in the morning. The sudden appearance of several tons and dozens of tons of gold is a burden to the temple. A few kilograms is not. It is common for Indian tyrants to give gold to the temple. A few kilograms is not a particularly exaggerated handwriting.

Zhang Nan prepared some snacks for Sawaguchi Jingzi in the car. The beauty was puzzled. Zhang Nan told her: "Chinese food will be until two o'clock in the afternoon. !"

　　 Sawaguchi Yasukiko now remembered that Martha had said that Indians used to push back their work and rest time by two or three hours, and then thought of something.

　　 "Ellen, isn't it that the Valmar's chef will be responsible for lunch today, and we have to rush back at noon?"

　　 Zhang Nan smiled, "You don't know these rich Indians too much. If necessary, they can take a mobile palace with them when they go out.

　　 But it is not necessary this time. This is all the Valmar family's sphere of influence. Their property and land are far more than one. The chef who cooks for us will probably go to the lunch place to prepare. "

　　 At noon, the impatient Manu Jain arrived in Trivandrum ahead of schedule, and brought his eldest daughter and son-in-law.
