Chapter 242: Indian stall
The bargaining scene is staged again.
When the stall owner saw someone asking about this incomplete nautical chart, he immediately began to talk about the lotus. Why does this picture involve a mysterious pirate treasure? What is this picture as a precious cultural relic? Why did you get it? Zhang Tu can get a glimpse of the legendary Klaus Golden Anchor. Anyway, how wicked, what the stall owner said.
Chris and the others were dumbfounded. After all, pirate culture is quite popular in the United States. Almost every American has a pirate dream in their hearts.
But Yang Jing has seen a lot of this. Let’s not talk about the Chinese antique market. Even if a fake porcelain has just been baked, the boss can tell you a flower, just say that I was in Paris a few months ago. When he bought the first incomplete nautical chart at the Vanfer Flea Market, the stall owner was still wicked.
Therefore, Yang Jing has long been immune to this kind of mischievous and foolish claims.
The stall owner was there chattering "Lah-ah-ahah", Chris and the four of them were there listening with great interest, Yang Jing secretly activated the "Identification" skill, and sure enough, this incomplete nautical chart and the above A nautical chart is derived from the same nautical chart.
"Mutilated Pirate Nautical Chart, 1720, "Sea Snake" Bodman."
This identification result is no different from the nautical chart purchased at the Vanfer Flea Market. These two incomplete nautical charts were artificially torn apart on the same complete nautical chart.
The stall owner was still there, spitting and splashing around, but obviously, he flicked the wrong person. It is estimated that he regards Yang Jing as his attendant, and regards Chris, who is dressed like the boss's bodyguard, as the real buyer.
"Hey! How much do you sell for this picture? Don't tell me the useless ones, and you are useless to them, they are my bodyguards!" Yang Jing asked impatiently.
As soon as he said this, even the stalls on both sides of the stall laughed, but the stall owner was only slightly embarrassed and immediately recovered.
The skin is thick enough.
"Sir, if you really want this pirate treasure map, then you need to spend at least three thousand dollars." As soon as he said this, Yang Jing obviously heard several stalls around him. There was a boo, although the sound was not loud, it was enough to prove that the stall owner was slaughtering himself as a triumphant.
Yang Jing shook his head and said blankly: "This is clearly a broken nautical chart. I can't see what treasure map this is, so don't fool people with those useless words! Two hundred dollars, sell it. Not for sale?"
Hearing Yang Jing's fierce bargaining, the person next to him made a deep surprise again.
This guy is not a triumph, this guy is a fierce Mexican wolf!
Sure enough, Yang Jing's such fierce bargaining immediately stunned the stall owner. He didn't seem to expect that the Asian man with black hair and yellow skin would bargain so hard.
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 is impossible! You want to be true If you want, you have to spend four hundred dollars..."
There were more and more people watching the excitement around, and upon hearing the boss’s words, there was a burst of unscrupulous laughter.
The boss blushed, and was about to say something, when he saw that there was a hand in front of him. There were four green Franklins in that hand...
"BOSS, you have been deceived! This incomplete nautical chart is just a bit of history, it has no effect, and it is not a pirate treasure map. Your four hundred dollars was spent in vain." Clark, a tall man, kindly Reminded.
The other three bodyguards all nodded in agreement. Four hundred dollars is not a small figure anymore, you can buy a lot of good things.
Yang Jing saw that they had just reached the edge of the market and there were not many people around, so he beckoned and said: "You four come around, don't let others come near. Since you don't believe my vision, then I will let you See it!"
The four people walked forward and immediately surrounded Yang Jing. Yang Jing pretended to be digging out things in his pocket, quietly opened the storage space, and took the nautical chart from the Wangfu Flea Market. Came out.
Then, when Yang Jing pieced together the two nautical charts in the middle, the two incomplete nautical charts were completely pieced together. Although they are not so tightly connected, everyone can see that the two nautical charts should be one before. of.
"Have you seen? The incomplete nautical chart above was obtained by me in Paris, and this half of the nautical chart was obtained here in front of you. Gentlemen, now you have the two nautical charts. Any suggestions?"
Several bodyguards are a little dumbfounded.
This is Beaumont, which is more than 8,000 kilometers away from Paris, and there is also an Atlantic Ocean and half of the North American continent in the middle. Then, how could the nautical chart that should have been a single one be divided into two halves and still so far apart?
Just now, I kindly reminded Yang Jing that Clark was obviously a pirate fan. After seeing this, he immediately said excitedly: "Boss, are the two nautical charts you acquired really left behind by those pirates? Wow, if you can put together this nautical chart, won't we be able to find a legendary pirate treasure?"
George Bruce also thumped John Bruno beside him excitedly. As for Chris, he said directly: "BOSS, or we should prepare a boat now, and then follow the route marked on this nautical chart to find pirates. Treasure!"
Several bodyguards nodded very positively.
Yang Jing smiled and put away the two nautical charts, and then said, "Don’t you see that this nautical chart is not complete yet? Please, use your brains, okay? Don’t say if this nautical chart is correct. The treasure map of the pirates is just in this incomplete state. Where do you let us go to find our destination? It's easy to build a boat now, but we got the boat. Shall we go around in the Atlantic?"
The tall and majestic Clark babbled for a long time before he said embarrassedly: "BOSS, we just want to follow you to find the legendary pirate treasure..."
Yang Jing smiled bitterly and said: "OK, I really want to find a pirate treasure, OK? But now we obviously don't have the conditions. If this nautical chart is really available in the future, I will definitely get it. Would you like to take a trip to the Atlantic Ocean together? As for now, let us stroll around this flea market with peace of mind."
Several bodyguards gathered their minds, and continued to follow Yang Jing to accompany him to the flea market.
Not long after left, Yang Jing saw a small area with a difference.
The reason why this small area is different is mainly because the people who set up stalls in this small area know at first glance that they are all the indigenous peoples of North America-Indians.
The owners of other stalls are mostly wearing denim or work clothes, but the stall owners in this small area are all wearing costumes with Indian characteristics. One stall owner is even more powerful. He even wears a full set of Indian costumes. I completely ignored that today's temperature is already over 20 degrees.
Chris explained on the side: "BOSS, now Oklahoma, which borders northern Texas, 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, a large number of white people began to gather. As a result of its march into the west, the conflict between whites and Indians became more and more intense. Under such circumstances, the U.S. government began to migrate Indians in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s, and finally allowed Oklahoma City to move. Massachusetts has become the largest gathering place for Native American Indians."
Clark added: "In fact, the name Oklahoma is taken from the Indian language, meaning ‘red man’, and it refers to the native Indians."
Chris added: "As a state bordering Oklahoma, Texas actually has a lot of Indians, even in the oil city of Beaumont, there is also a big Indians. Here is the place. It’s normal to have Indian booths."
A few people walked over, and Yang Jing squatted down in front of a booth.
This is a handicrafts stand with strong Indian characteristics. The small stalls are all with Indian handicrafts.
The Indians, as the natives of North America, have a much longer history than the United States, so there are many handicrafts with very exquisite craftsmanship ~lightnovelpub.net~ For example, the most important partner in the lives of Indians is horses, so painted horse carving crafts It is the most prestigious handicraft of the Indians. There are no fewer than twenty painted horse sculptures on this stall, of different sizes and shapes, but each horse sculpture is vivid and vivid.
In addition, there are other handicrafts, such as pottery urns, clay sculptures, jewelry, cloth art, etc., all with the characteristics of Indian indigenous culture.
Yang Jing also saw a piece of cloth dyed in various colors. Yang Jing knew that these pieces of cloth should be the original bark cloth of 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 harder bark outside, peel off the inner bark, and soak it in sea water for half a month. The bark will be Become soft and full of toughness. After soaking, take the bark to 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 not almost ready. However, for the sake of beauty, Indians will make patterns on the cloth. The cloth made in this way is as thin as a gauze and very beautiful. After dyeing it in various colors, it becomes the bark cloth in front of you.
Of course, in addition to these things, there are also various feather accessories, which are also characteristic of Indians.
The array of handicrafts in front of me is really very, very beautiful, and Yang Jing knows that these handicrafts are absolutely handmade, and they are not comparable to those made by machines in shops in big cities.
