Uncovering the Earth: The Strongest Explorer

Old Rockefeller was furious after hearing this.

"They are eighteen fine buds of the finest imperial tea before the rain!"

"oh!"

Diana said obediently.

Then under her expectant eyes, Yang Chan took a sip.

"Great tea!"

The fragrance of tea lingers in your mouth for a long time, and it is very comfortable.

Even if Yang Chan doesn't know much about tea, he can still taste its preciousness.

The old Rockefeller still knows a lot about Chinese culture and introduced it to Yang Chan. Get up.

The so-called"Eighteen Imperial Teas" refers to the fact that Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River six times and came to the Longjing tea area four times to watch tea picking, taste tea and compose poems.

On the way back, he brought Longjing tea back to the Queen Mother, who became angry after drinking it. Immediately ,

Qianlong declared that the eighteen tea trees in front of Hu Gong Temple were harvested and harvested exclusively for the Queen Mother to drink. One flag and one shot, the annual output is extremely small, and it is very rare.

Yang Pra took a closer look and found that the tea leaves were very green and the tea water was very clear.

"100 grams of this tea costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per pound."

Diana smiled.

This is what she heard.

Old Rockefeller shook his head and didn't say much.

This made Yang Pray feel the corruption of capitalism!

And this tea cup, whether it is workmanship or quality, is probably not Therefore, Yang

Yan took a closer look.

The tea set had a total of four cups and a teapot. The walls were as thin as shells, and the outer walls of the teapot and cup were engraved with clear and detailed lines.

The white jade cup of the Qing Dynasty.

Hendustan jade was introduced to China in the Qing Dynasty because of its paper-thin carving craftsmanship, and Qianlong was an emperor who was very fond of jade. There are more than 800 poems about jade. His subordinates liked the idea of naming their sons

, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs set up a workshop to imitate traces of traces of jade.

The advantages of jade's unique shape, smooth patterns and thin carcass were combined with the traditional methods of Chinese craftsmanship to create a Xifan-style jade set.

This tea set was passed down from the Qing court. It was very rare when it came out.

He heard that some collectors in China had collected it, but they didn't dare to use it for fear of breaking it.

"Mr. Yang is also interested in antiques?"

Old Rockefeller saw his gaze and asked.

Isn't he an explorer?

Even Diana looked at him curiously.

Yang Chan put down the white jade cup in his hand

"Antiques are witnesses of history, history that can be seen. Through every antique, we can see what is behind the history."

"Of course, it is even more effective in cultivating people's sentiments and making people feel relaxed."

His opinion also made the old Rockefeller nod.

By the way, he taught Diana a lesson.

"Look, it makes so much sense."

Diana nodded and seemed to have listened.

She was already very interested in collectibles.

Not to mention old Rockefeller, almost such rich people are antique lovers and collectors.

And The Rockefeller family didn't have much else, but they had a lot of money.

The old Rockefeller could buy any antiques he liked for collection.

There were countless treasures in the Rockefeller family collection, not those that were put on display outside. It can be compared.

Therefore, the old Rockefeller was also interested.

Together with Diana, he took Yang Yan to visit the Rockefeller Manor.

As a national park, it is still worth visiting every day.

The main buildings, gardens, farms and artificial lakes. The green lawns, green mountains and green waters, and the strong American manor style made Yang Yan think of the Jingqin New District. Unfortunately , the progress was too slow.

Anna also took him to the family collection

"Mr. Yang, this is my family’s collection room. Over the past 100 years since the establishment of this collection room, it has collected more than 2,000 pieces of art from all countries and eras in the world, including furniture, decorations, and paintings from the Middle Ages. , sculptures, coins, etc. Among them, there are four works by Picasso and Van Gogh. In addition, there are ancient Chinese ceramics and bronzes, Egyptian gold artworks, lacquerware from island countries, etc."

Diana followed the two of them obediently, and the old Rockefeller said proudly.

Yang Chan understood this pride very well.

Foreigners, especially Westerners, have a special pursuit of art.

They think it is a symbol of noble quality.

Whether a manor is famous depends on whether it has works by art masters, such as Van Gogh, Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, etc.

This is why the value of their works is getting higher and higher during their lifetime.

Then, under the leadership of Diana and Old Rockefeller, they visited the collection room.

People like to hide precious things, and most of them like to hide them in the basement.

The Rockefeller family is no exception. The space in the underground is very large.

It is surrounded by smooth and smooth rocks.

The temperature in the collection room is kept constant, which is good for the art. There are breathing sensor lights in the corridor, and the lights are on directly as

Yang Yan and others walk through it.

There were all kinds of artworks on the floor.

Yang Yan also looked at them, and there were many ancient Egyptian gold vessels and many European medieval artworks, which made him feel overwhelmed.

"This is the crown of the royal family where the sun never sets, and there is a very interesting story about it."

Old Rockefeller pointed to a crown studded with diamonds and introduced.

"I know this!"

Diana said immediately

"This was the crown worn by King William IV when he was crowned in 1830. This luxury-loving monarch insisted on setting all diamonds and precious stones into the crown. As a result, the crown was too heavy, and the king suffered severe pain in his neck. The coronation ceremony had to be interrupted, and a molar tooth was subsequently removed."

"After that, the stupid royal family did not dare to set all the biggest diamonds in the crown."

Yang Chan nodded and looked at the crown.

There were many large diamonds on it, and they were very clear and beautiful without impurities. It was indeed very beautiful.

But, it was too heavy...

The story of William IV is the best. Proof.

The Royal Family likes to collect diamonds the most.

The entire royal family has 22,599 gems and treasures, and there are several national treasure-level diamonds with a total value of more than 100 carats.

The Star of Africa also belongs to the royal family.

This tradition has lasted for too long.

Yang Zhen also liked diamonds, so he took a second look.

Then, the old Rockefeller took him to watch.
