Happy Tycoon

The scene of bargaining was staged again.

When the stall owner saw someone asking about this incomplete nautical chart, he immediately began to talk about it, why did this picture involve a mysterious pirate treasure, why was this picture a precious cultural relic, and why did he get this You can get a glimpse of the legendary Klaus Golden Anchor with just a picture. Anyway, how evil is it, this stall owner will say.

Chris and the others were taken aback. After all, in the United States, pirate culture is quite popular, and almost every American has a pirate dream in their hearts.

But Yang Jing has seen this a lot, not to mention that in the antique market in Huaxia, even a freshly baked counterfeit porcelain, the boss can tell you a flower, just say a few months ago in Paris When he bought the first incomplete nautical chart at the Vanvere flea market, the stall owner said something ridiculous.

Therefore, Yang Jing has long been immune to this kind of nonsense and deceitful claims.

The stall owner was chattering blah blah blah there, Chris and the others were listening there with great interest, and Yang Jing secretly activated the identification skill. Sure enough, this incomplete nautical chart and the above A nautical chart is derived from the same nautical chart.

Fragmented pirate chart, 1720, 'Sea Serpent' Boardman.

There is no difference between this appraisal result and the nautical chart purchased at the Wanfer flea market. These two incomplete nautical charts were artificially torn apart from the same complete nautical chart.

The stall owner was still spitting and flicking around, but it was obvious that he was fooling the wrong person. It is estimated that he regarded Yang Jing as a follower, and regarded Chris, the bodyguard who dressed like a boss, as the real buyer.

Hey! How much do you sell for this picture? Don't talk about those useless things to me. Also, you are useless to talk about them. They are my bodyguards! Yang Jing asked impatiently.

As soon as the words came out, even the stall owners on both sides of the stall laughed, but the stall owner was only a little embarrassed, and immediately recovered.

The skin is really thick enough.

Sir, if you really want this pirate's treasure map, then you need to spend at least three thousand dollars. As soon as he said this, Yang Jing obviously heard a few stalls around. There was a burst of boos, although the sound was not loud, but it was enough to prove that the stall owner was killing himself as a winner.

Yang Jing shook his head and said blankly: This is clearly a broken nautical chart, I can't see what kind of treasure map it is, so don't fool people with those useless words! Two hundred dollars, sell Do not sell?

Hearing Yang Jing's fierce bargaining, the people next to him let out a low voice of surprise again.

This guy is not Kaizi, this guy is a vicious Mexican wolf!

Sure enough, Yang Jing's fierce bargain immediately stunned the stall owner, and he didn't seem to have thought that the black-haired and yellow-skinned Asian man in front of him would be so ruthless in bargaining.

Shaking his head, the stall owner said firmly: This price is not good, absolutely not! This is a cultural relic with a history of hundreds of years. You want to take it for two hundred dollars? That's impossible! If you really want to If you want it, you have to come up with four hundred dollars.”

There were more and more people watching the excitement around, and when they heard the boss's words, there was a burst of unscrupulous laughter.

The boss blushed a bit, and was about to say something, when he saw a hand suddenly appearing in front of him, and in that hand were holding four green Franklin cards.

Boss, you have been lied to! This incomplete nautical chart is just a piece of history, it is useless, and it is not a pirate treasure map. Your four hundred dollars were wasted. The tall and burly Clark kindly reminded.

The other three bodyguards all nodded in agreement. Four hundred dollars is not a small number anymore, it can buy a lot of good things.

Yang Jing saw that they had just walked to the edge of the market, and there were not many people around, so he waved and said, Come around and don't let others approach. Since you don't believe my vision, then I will let you Get to know each other!

The four people surrounded Yang Jing and immediately surrounded Yang Jing. Yang Jing pretended to be digging out something in his pocket, quietly opened the storage space, and took the nautical chart from the Vanves flea market. out.

Then, when Yang Jing put the two nautical charts together in the middle, the two incomplete nautical charts were indeed pieced together completely. Although they were not so seamless, everyone could see that the two nautical charts should have been one. of.

See? I found the incomplete chart above in Paris, and I found this half of the chart here in front of you. Gentlemen, what do you know about these two charts now? Any suggestions?

Several bodyguards were a little dumbfounded.

This is Beaumont, more than 8,000 kilometers away from Paris, and there is an Atlantic Ocean and half of the North American continent in the middle, so how can the nautical chart, which should be one, be divided into two halves and still be so far apart?

Clark, who kindly reminded Yang Jing just now, is obviously a pirate fan, and after seeing this situation, he immediately said excitedly: Boss, could it be that the two nautical charts you bought were really left by those pirates back then? Wow, if you can get this nautical chart together, wouldn't we be able to find a legendary pirate treasure?

George Bruce also excitedly thumped John Bruno beside him, and as for Chris, he said directly: Boss, why don't we prepare a boat now, and follow the route marked on this nautical chart to find the pirates? Treasure!

Several bodyguards nodded in agreement very positively.

Yang Jing put away the two nautical charts with a smile, and then said: Don't you see that this nautical chart is not complete? Please, can you use your brains? Don't say that this nautical chart is not complete. The pirate’s treasure map is just in such a broken state, where do you want us to find the destination? It’s easy to get a boat now, but if we get the boat, will we go around in circles on the Atlantic Ocean?”

The tall and burly Clark groaned for a long time before saying embarrassingly: Boss, we just want to follow you to find the legendary pirate treasure.

Yang Jing smiled wryly and said, OK, actually, I also really want to find a pirate treasure, okay? But we obviously don't have the conditions right now. If I really have this nautical chart in the future, I will definitely pull it out. May I let you go to the Atlantic Ocean to find a circle together? As for now, let us visit this flea market with peace of mind.

Only then did the bodyguards gather their minds, and continued to follow Yang Jing around to accompany him to the flea market.

Not long after walking, Yang Jing saw a small area that was different from others.

The reason why this small area is different is that the people who set up stalls in this small area can tell at a glance that they are all the aborigines of North America—Indians.

The owners of other stalls are mostly wearing denim or work clothes, but the stall owners who can set up stalls in this small area are all wearing Indian-style clothing. One stall owner is even more powerful, and he even wears a full set of Indian clothing. Regardless of today's temperature has more than 20 degrees.

Chris explained on the side: BOSS, Oklahoma, which borders northern Texas today, is currently the largest Indian gathering place in the United States, because at the beginning of the last century, with the discovery of a large amount of oil in the west, white people began to gather in large numbers. As a result, the conflict between whites and Indians became more and more intense. Under such circumstances, the US government began to relocate Indians in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s, and finally let Oklaho Maryland has the largest concentration of Native Americans in the United States.

Clark added on the side: In fact, the name Oklahoma is derived from Indian, meaning 'red race', referring to the aborigines of the Indians.

Chris added: As a state bordering Oklahoma, there are actually many Indian gathering places in Texas. There is even a large Indian gathering place in the oil city of Beaumont. Here It is also normal to have Indian stalls.

Several people walked over, and Yang Jing squatted down in front of a booth.

This is a handicraft stall with strong Indian characteristics. The small stalls are full of Indian handicrafts.

As the aborigines of North America, the Indians have a much longer history than the United States, so there are many handicrafts with exquisite craftsmanship.

For example, the most important partner in Indian life is horses, so painted horse carving handicrafts are the most famous handicrafts of Indians. There are no less than 20 painted horse sculptures on this stall, of different sizes and shapes, but each one is lifelike.

In addition, there are other handicrafts, such as pottery urns, clay sculptures, jewelry, cloth art, etc., all of which have the characteristics of Indian aboriginal culture.

Yang Jing also saw bolts of cloth dyed in various colors, and Yang Jing knew that these cloths should be the original bark cloth made by Indians.

As the name suggests, this kind of cloth is made of bark, and its production process is more complicated. First cut down the grown tree, the tree has two layers of bark, throw away the outer layer of hard bark, peel off the inner bark, soak it in sea water for half a month, the bark will Become soft and flexible. After soaking, take the bark under the sun and start beating it with a wooden stick to make it white, and finally soak it in clean water, so that the bark is almost ready. However, for the sake of beauty, the Indians will punch patterns on the cloth, and the cloth produced in this way is as thin as gauze and very beautiful. Then dyed with various colors, it becomes the bark cloth in front of you.

Of course, in addition to these things, there are also various feather ornaments, which are also the characteristics of Indians.

The assortment of handicrafts in front of him is really very, very beautiful, and Yang Jing knows that these handicrafts are absolutely handmade, not comparable to the handicrafts made by machines in shops in big cities.
