Chapter 60 Origin of Antiquities

"It's not impossible to say that, maybe there were ancient people who dug this tomb before you, and those people might just temporarily bury the dirt they brought from elsewhere here." The person who spoke was Shen Mengxi, she leisurely Come here freely.

Her voice surprised everyone present.

Ai Xiaohan frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Shen Mengxi said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to grab things, I'm Xiao Nan's friend, I happened to help him get rid of some tails, and I'll come here to see if there is anything that needs my help."

Ai Xiaohan looked at Xiao Nan suspiciously, Xiao Nan explained: "Her name is Shen Mengxi, and my classmate is also very accomplished in appraising treasures. Since she is here, let her palm the eye too, maybe She can provide some unexpected clues."

Since she is Xiao Nan's classmate, Ai Xiaohan no longer feels nervous. She looked at Shen Mengxi. It's just perfunctory.

Shen Mengxi came forward, she looked down at the items, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing doubts, after looking for a long time, she slowly said: "I have appraised countless treasures, this is the first time I have seen such things, I can't tell you how it came about."

Originally thought that a king came, but unexpectedly it was also a bronze, Ai Xiaohan's face could not help showing a trace of disappointment.

"Compared with the things here and the things in Mo Han's house, which one is more difficult for you to judge?" Xiao Nan suddenly leaned in front of Shen Mengxi and asked in a low voice.

Shen Mengxi didn't expect Xiao Nan to ask such a question. She was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "There is no comparison between the two. Firstly, the two items are different. Secondly, their purposes are different. You don't know anything about us. It is not just for playing, but more importantly, it is practical. After people buy it back, it is not only for collection, but also for use.”

This is really the first time I've heard such a truth. Isn't the so-called collections all for collection? Why do they have practical value? I really don't know what this magic city is for. The more Xiao Nan looked forward to going there.

Ai Xiaohan looked at the mysterious look of the two people, and asked involuntarily, "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Nan said: "It's nothing, just to talk about these items."

It seems that none of these people will be useful, and Huo Qiming also has a disappointed expression in his eyes. Originally, he thought that as the largest leading group in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the Ai Group would be full of talents, but he didn't expect it. in this way.

"Miss Ai, it seems that these items can only be decided after we ship them back."

Huo Qiming is planning to issue an order to evict customers. I really didn't expect that the character of this so-called professional is nothing more than that. When you can take advantage of it, he can still be warm to you. Once you lose the value of using him, he will directly Just kick you aside.

What a wolf in sheep's clothing!

Ai Xiaohan could hear it, but she was not sullen, and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't help you this time."

Huo Qiming waved his hand and said, "It's okay. After all, these things are too unpopular. It's normal that you can't identify them. There are so many professionals on our side who can't be sure, so it's understandable."

Ai Xiaohan's complexion was a bit ugly, Huo Qiming's way of speaking was indeed a bit inappropriate, but helplessly, his own ability was only so great, and it really didn't help others, so it's no wonder they said so.

Xiao Nan also felt something was wrong in this subtle change, he looked at Ai Xiaohan's face, and he had a certain idea in his heart.

"Xiaohan, you didn't even ask my opinion, but you said that we couldn't identify it, and you didn't respect me too much."

Xiao Nan said this on purpose, he just wanted to tell Huo Qiming what he said, to let him know that the people sent by Ai's Group are still very good.

It's a pity, that Huo Qiming didn't take Xiao Nan seriously at all, he said with a cold smile: "Little brother, let's forget it, even the daughter of the Ai Group and professionals like us can't distinguish, so don't you Stop wasting your tongue."

Xiao Nan raised his hand and scratched his head, he was a little disgusted by Huo Qiming's way of speaking, he thought for a while and said: "That's right, even if I can really tell the source and value of these ancient relics, I'm afraid you professionals won't believe it, It seems that I really shouldn't waste my tongue here, so as not to humiliate myself."

Huo Qiming smiled and said: "Okay little brother, if you can really tell its origin and value, even if we can't predict its authenticity now, there will always be a day when we go back and identify it. When the time comes, you will make a comparison, and if you are wrong, you will be slapped in the face."

Xiao Nan smiled nonchalantly, and said: "Since you have brought your words to this point, I really have to show you, and later you take a notebook and write down what I said in detail. , when someone with ability appreciates it for you in the future, you can make a comparison to see if what I said is true or false."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Nan didn't wait for Huo Qiming to speak, he returned to those ancient objects again.

"These items are neither from the Spring and Autumn Period nor the Han Dynasty, but from the currency era when bronzes were just prevalent. The reason why these items are so similar to currency is that people only had currency in their consciousness at that time, so people in that era When making any item, it is customary to make the item into the appearance of currency. This is a farming tool. The technology at that time was not developed. People planted and harvested crops with this tool. Its name is rake. "

"This kind of tool was the most popular agricultural item at that time. Its manufacturing material was bronze. People still considered in their consciousness that they wanted to use this tool as currency for circulation, so they used the same material as currency. Unfortunately, At that time, people could not live without it in farming, and gradually this kind of thinking corroded and did not take shape."

"Later, as technology improved step by step, this kind of tool fell behind, and no one would use it anymore, and it was gradually eliminated. As the saying goes, what is rare is the most expensive, and this kind of item is even more expensive now than a hundred years ago. It’s rare to see, so its value is so high that we can’t even imagine it.”

After Xiao Nan introduced this item in one breath, the people present were stunned. Although he didn't know how true Xiao Nan's words were, his description was too real, as if the ancients were holding this tool in front of his eyes. In farming in general.

"It seems that what you said has some meaning." Huo Qiming said in a daze.
