Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"Budai Monk." Liang En and Fan Meng were not ABCs who were completely westernized, so they recognized the identity of this statue in an instant. At the same time, Miss Black also introduced the origin of this statue.

"I bought this at a flea market in London before, and it only cost 20 pounds." As she spoke, Miss Black placed the ceramic statue in front of Liang En and the others.

"But after my appraisal, this should be a Buddha statue from your ancient China, and it has a history of more than 300 years. So if you want this Buddha statue, you need to count 5,000 pounds."

"Miss Black, it's too much money for you to pay 5,000 pounds for a 20-pound thing." After hearing what Miss Black said, Liang En's businessman part was immediately activated, so he half-truthed and half-falsely Bargain arrived.

"No, no, no, Mr. Liang, it can only be said that my eyesight is better." At this point, Miss Black showed a proud look.

"So this thing is now worth £5,000 and you can take it if you think it's suitable, but if you don't think it's suitable we can exchange it for another one."

Obviously, from the reactions of Liang En and Fan Meng just now, Miss Black saw their love for this Buddha statue, so she resolutely refused to reduce the price of 5,000 pounds by a penny.

Because the price demanded by the other party was very high, and the Buddha statue really gave people a special feeling, Liang En used an [Appraisal (N)] on the Buddha statue. Soon, two lines of text appeared on the into his sight.

[Budai monk, whose name is related to this, is said to be the incarnation of Maitreya Bodhisattva or Maitreya Buddha. He has a fat body, wrinkled brows and a big belly. His speech is uncertain and he sleeps and sleeps everywhere. Because of his humor, intelligence, kindness, optimism and tolerance, he is deeply respected and loved by people. 】

[So people in later generations often use it as a prototype to create Buddha statues to remind people to learn to be tolerant. For example, this statue of a Buddhist monk with celadon glazed exposed body from the Longquan kiln in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties is one of this type of statues. 】

"Okay, 5,000 pounds is 5,000 pounds. But if this thing is worth more -" After discovering that the price could not be lowered, Liang En, who had already realized the value of the statue, said directly, but before he finished speaking, Miss Black The words are dead.

"Don't worry, the transaction of these things will be written into the contract. After all, this is a transaction involving more than 10,000 pounds, so I will definitely take measures to ensure the safety of our transaction."

After settling on the price of the Buddha statue, Liang En and the others quickly looked at other things. It's a pity that Miss Blake charges a high price for all antiques, especially oriental antiques.

For example, an ordinary blue and white porcelain plate from a folk kiln in the late Qing Dynasty is priced at 800 pounds, which is three times the normal price.

So they quickly gave up the idea of ​​​​looking for another treasure from this antique lover, and instead chose things from those luxury goods.

Unlike antiques, this type of second-hand luxury goods has very transparent prices. So a few people figured out the options in a very short time.

In the end, Liang En and the others chose two Chanel women's backpacks, a Louis Vuitton wallet and a brooch of the same brand as their harvest this time.

These second-hand luxury goods that look at least 90% new can probably be sold for about 9,200 pounds, of course, provided that you find the right person to sell them. Fortunately, Liang En happened to know a very good customer.

"Happy cooperation." After signing the contract, Liang En and Fan Meng took their trophies and said goodbye to Miss Black, and then left the old room.

After the two of them went out, Fan Meng suddenly turned to Liang En on the way to the bus station and asked: "Boss, are you going to sell that Buddha statue just now?"

I'm not short of money, so why should I sell this treasure? "Liang En said with a smile, "And Miss Black just made a mistake. This statue did not come from the mid-Ming Dynasty as she thought, but from the Longquan kiln in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. "

"Judging from the shape and size of the artifact, it should be a masterpiece from the Longquan Kiln of that era. If it were to be sold, the price would be estimated to be between 50,000 and 55,000 pounds."

"Listening to what you said, this Buddha statue should also be a high-quality product." Fan Meng opened his eyes in surprise, and then a smile appeared on his face. "So when we go back, we can put this Buddha statue up properly and bless our business to prosper -"

Because the statues of Budai monks often have smiles on their faces and carry cloth bags, they are often considered by merchants to mean joy and wealth, and are worshiped as the God of Wealth.

Fan Meng happens to be a Chinese from Southeast Asia. He has been influenced by his father who owns a restaurant since he was a child. Therefore, the first thing I thought of after seeing this carved Buddha statue was to enshrine it.

"What a good idea. When we go back, we can set up a shrine and enshrine this Buddha statue in it." After listening to Fan Meng's opinion, Liang En thought it was obviously better to enshrine the Buddha statue directly than to put it in the safe. a more appropriate approach.

After returning to his apartment in London, Liang En immediately checked a card that appeared in his mind after he obtained the Buddha statue. Because this is a card he has never seen before.

[Repair (N): Time is the most corrosive thing in the world. Any tangible thing will suffer certain damage after a long period of time.

But these damages are not irreparable, or to be precise, as a historical explorer who has mastered primary supernatural power, he is fully capable of repairing these damages.

Skill card (one-time use), after consuming this card and consuming the corresponding legendary power and casting materials according to the target, the caster can repair the caster's target. The premise is that the overall volume loss of those items does not exceed 30%. 】

"This is simply amazing." After reading the text on the card, Liang En had a look of surprise on his face. Then he took out the clay tablet he brought back from Egypt last time from the safe in the room as quickly as possible.

Liang En just put the fragments together and put them into a box last time for this clay tablet. It was not repaired. Because repairing this kind of thing requires special skills, and he does not master this type of skill.

After letting his consciousness come into contact with this [Repair (N)], he found that a red dot appeared in his field of vision, and when he put the red dot on anything, text would appear next to it to indicate the spell. Required legendary powers and casting materials.

For example, when he and the red dot were placed on the cabinet, it showed that 15 cubic centimeters of pine wood and a little legendary power were needed. When he was placed on the shoes, it was found that ten grams of rubber, two grams of artificial leather and a little legendary power were needed. Power.

"Damn it, I was fooled!" After seeing the second analysis, Liang En showed a depressed look on his face. Because he remembered that when he bought that pair of shoes, the owner of the shoe store swore that the shoes were made of sheepskin.

Unfortunately, it was just a temporary trade fair at the time, so now even if he knew there was something wrong with his shoes, he had no way to settle the score with the profiteer.

"Okay, now it's time to get down to business." After looking around curiously at all the things I had in the house, Liang En turned his attention back to the box of clay tablets on the table. "Hope the repairs go well."
