Jesse's step forward made Jin Muchen feel very surprised, and the stall owner was even more surprised. w.jxs.nt is the fastest update

What do you mean? Could it be that this wood carving is still something good? You must know that this wooden sculpture has been placed in their home for many years, and no one has ever been able to say it, but roughly know that this statue was once his ancestor who participated in the development of the western United States, from the Indians. Grab it in hand.

At that time, relying on the wealth stained with Indian scalp blood, their family used to be brilliant, but life was full of ups and downs. When it came to his grandfather's generation, the family's investment failed, and the family began to fall. In addition, he was even more There is an unreliable father. The family has worked hard for several generations of ancestors. Finally, it was his generation that he was basically defeated, so he could only be reduced to the second-hand market to buy second-hand goods. level.

This statue was originally regarded by his ancestors as a trophy for pioneering new territories, and it has been kept in the study of their original mansion. Later, his grandfather didn't like the strange smell of the statue and was placed in the basement.

Later, he didn't like the strange smell of this thing, so he brought it to the market to sell it. He has set up a stall here for several years, but this broken thing has never been sold.

Today, someone was willing to take the bait and spend four hundred dollars to buy this thing. He was quite happy at first, but now that this woman said this, his heart was also moved.

And some stall owners who had no business in the surrounding area also gathered around at this time. Middle-aged uncles and aunts in the United States are no different from Chinese aunts and uncles. As long as there is excitement, they will definitely not fall behind.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Hum, open your eyes. Take a good look at this wood carving."

Jesse asked Jin Muchen to put down the wood carving. He was also curious about the statue. Before, he could see that the clothes the wood carving was wearing should be a treasure, but what exactly is the treasure method. He doesn't know it himself.

After all, this involves the cultural heritage of the natives of North America. With his current understanding of American history, he really can't tell why. Originally, he wanted to bring the woodcarving back and find someone who knows how to help with research.

It doesn't seem to be needed now. Jesse seems to know a lot about this woodcarving.

"You look at the figure of the woodcarving. The forehead is narrow, the cheeks are wide, and the hairstyle is mainly to distinguish the hair. Moreover, the tattoo on the face of this woodcarving, the pattern is the most intuitive explanation. This should be the woodcarving of the ancestors of the Xia An clan."

Jesse pointed to the wooden sculpture and said to the stall owner. In fact, it is also to popularize the knowledge about Indian wood carving to the onlookers.

In fact, as early as the immigrants from the European continent, when they landed on the American continent, they landed in the United States. There are hundreds of Indian tribes living in large and small. Although they are all Indians in the mouth of Europeans, in fact, there are many differences between them.

"The Cheyenne people are Indians who lived in New Jersey in their early years. Their current territory is right next to Philadelphia..."

"It's useless to talk about it. I have also studied this wood carving, and I know that it belongs to the Xia'an tribe. But what about that? Although it is an old object, what can it do? The wood carving is very rough. And the materials used are also very general, the most common boxwood, so even if it can be regarded as an antique, it is not worth a lot of money?"

The stall owner was obviously very unconvinced. This woodcarving has been in his house for many years. It is impossible to say that he has not studied it at all.

"Furthermore, such wood carvings are now available in almost every second-hand market, and they are not rare at all. If you like, I can even find for you Navajo or Cherokee ancestors. What about the woodcarving?"

Although he was furious, this stall owner didn't want to show his timidity in front of Jesse. If this chick really proves that he is an idiot with no eyeballs today, how will he be in this market in the future?

The corners of Jesse's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

"Forget it, I'll tell you directly. As you said before, such wood carvings are really worthless, but have you seen the clothes on the wood carvings?"

"Besides, what kind of baby did I think you were talking about? It turned out to be that **** thing, huh, the strange smell on the ragged clothes made me want to set fire to it? Why, are you going to tell me now, this Are ragged clothes a good thing?"

There was a flash of panic in the eyes of the stall owner. Seeing the chick's expression without a trace of confusion, he felt a drum in his heart. Could it be that he was really blind for a while?

"Do you still want to burn it? I thank you for not taking the time. I beg you, if you have time, you should really read a few more books. This ragged clothes in your mouth is actually a raincoat handmade by the Indians back then. And the material of this raincoat is very unusual. It is made of whale casings. Only some Indian tribes living along the coast could make it, and because of the scarcity of materials, such raincoats are quite rare. Only people with very high status in the tribe can have it."

When Jesse said this, the stall owner was already dumbfounded, and the other onlookers were also in a commotion at this time.

Jesse said it so clearly, as long as everyone present is not a fool, they can basically understand that this dirty and smelly ragged clothes must be a very rare treasure.

"You... how can you be sure that this rag is the raincoat worn by the Indian chiefs back then?"

The stall owner was still a little unwilling to give up. If the ragged clothes were really what the woman said, then the loss of face would be second, and the key was that he was going to lose a lot of money this time. Many people saw it.

If you want to come back, you can't just rely on cheating.

"Why? Because I've seen such a raincoat before! This ragged piece of clothing, as you say, is only three pieces in the United States. One of them is in the National Museum of History in Washington, and the other two are one. It's in the National Center for Indian Studies, and one in the Chippewa tribe's own museum."

After Jesse said this, the people around were in an uproar again.

There are only three pieces of this ragged clothes in the United States, and now the fourth piece has appeared here. There is almost no doubt about the cherishing.

Don't look at the American collection market, the cultural relics about Indians are not very popular, but even so, this dress is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?

If you meet a rich man who likes Indian culture, you can sell it for millions in minutes.

As soon as Jesse said these words, the middle-aged stall owner, as if struck by lightning, stayed on the spot, his rosy complexion suddenly turned pale as paper.

His eyes were sluggish, and he couldn't stop muttering to himself. It seemed that he was about to have a nervous breakdown.

Whoever heard such a result must be the same. Originally, the family was in the middle of the road, and he was still thinking about turning over, but the treasure left by the ancestors worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions, was just taken by himself. It was sold at a bargain price for four hundred dollars. No one could accept such a big ups and downs.

Jin Muchen saw that the stall owner looked a little lost. He was afraid that he would go mad after a while. If he violently hurt people, it would not be appropriate, so he quickly pulled Jesse and squeezed out of the crowd, smearing oil on the soles of his feet. slipped away.

"Is what you just said true?"

Jesse and Jin Muchen were sitting in the SUV that Jin Muchen drove, and Jin Muchen's eyes swept through the rearview mirror from time to time to the statue on the back seat.

He was a little unsure. Just now, Jesse said that to deliberately anger the stall owner. After all, Jesse had never had any real contact with this wood carving before, not even touching it. How could she be sure? The clothes on this wood carving are the raincoats worn by the Cheyenne tribe chiefs?

Jesse, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said happily: "Want me to help you identify? That's an identification fee!"

"No problem, just ask for a price!"

"Well, I want you to owe me three favors. If I ask for something in the future, you must agree!"

This Jesse is cunning enough, and Jin Muchen glanced at her with a helpless smile.

"Well, as long as I can."

"Ok! The deal! That's because when I was studying history at the university, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com once had a very good classmate, she was from the Cheyenne tribe. At that time, she led me around a lot of Indians. Museum, so I have actually seen such raincoats, and I didn’t lie before. She told me at the time that their tribe had such raincoats before, but it was a pity that later because of the war between European immigrants and tribes , and then lost it. As for why I didn't get started, I'm sure it was a raincoat made by the Indians with whale casings? That was because of the smell of this raincoat. At that time, the Indians used a very special method to deal with whale casings. They Very strange drugs are used to prevent the raincoat from rotting over time, so if the raincoat has been left for a long time, it will have that strange smell. I used to be at the National Indian Research Center, and the Chippewa tribe In the museum, when I visited this raincoat, I could smell this smell. To be honest, this smell has always been my nightmare. So, I don't have to use it today, just smell this strange smell, I know it must be Indian A man's raincoat."

Jesse was very frank, and after listening to her explanation, Jin Muchen finally got a big stone in his heart, and finally knew the origin of this dress.

He knew that this thing was a treasure before, but he didn't know exactly how it was a treasure. With Jesse's explanation, now he finally knew the reason. (To be continued)
