Chen Wenzhe happily paid 50,000 yuan and took the thing in his hands.
I gestured with the blade and trimmed my nails, and it turned out to be very smooth.
This thing is an ancient nail clipper, or nail picker.
It should have been 1958 when this thing was first discovered.
That year, experts from the Inner Mongolia cultural relics department launched a large-scale cultural relics survey throughout the territory.
Experts were in one area and received reports from local people that there was a large city wall ruins in the Gaoyoufang area of the county, and villagers often grazed their cattle in that area.
Upon hearing the news, the experts were extremely happy and immediately drove to Gaoyoufang.
After several hours of trekking, experts, led by local villagers, successfully found the ruins of the city wall.
After investigation, experts first determined that this was a city wall from the Xixia period, with a history of about 800 years ago.
Then we measured it and found that the longest point of the city wall was about 990 meters and the widest point was about 8 meters.
In addition, experts also discovered a large number of living remains such as houses, wells and streets within the city wall ruins.
In the following years, experts carefully cleaned and excavated the ancient Xixia city of Gaoyoufang, and also discovered an ancient Xixia tomb.
At first, people didn't pay much attention to this ancient tomb, but because a gold artifact was unearthed inside, it later attracted much attention.
The ancient tomb discovered by experts is not large, but there are also many funerary objects unearthed, including well-preserved pottery and jades, and what is even more rare is that there are more than ten gold and silver items.
Among these gold and silverware, most of them are wearing hair ornaments or other decorations, so they are also extremely exquisitely made.
However, what puzzles the experts is that one piece of gold has a very special shape.
That thing is the same as the one Chen Wenzhe bought now, a similar hollowed-out Pisces nail-picking knife.
At that time, no one knew what it was, so experts were wondering, what is it? What is its function? Why is the blade not sharp?
A series of questions have puzzled experts.
After a period of time, experts could not figure out the function of this strange gold artifact, so they put it away for a while, and then put it together for study and comparison after more cultural relics were unearthed in the future.
A few years later, this expert participated in the excavation of an ancient tomb in Liao Province. He found a large number of well-preserved colorful murals on the inner walls of the corridor of the ancient tomb.
Moreover, through the costumes and expressions of the characters in the murals, we can clearly know that they are the images of Khitan people in the Liao Dynasty.
It is worth mentioning that there is a character in the mural whose movements are very special.
He stood aside, raised his left hand, and raised a finger, then took something in his right hand, and picked at the raised finger of his left hand...
Seeing this, the experts suddenly realized that he was picking his nails!
In this way, experts think of the strange gold artifact unearthed from the ancient tombs of Xixia, which may be a knife specially used to pick nails.
Later, the experts tried it themselves and found that it was very easy to use, so the experts named it the nail-picking knife.
Later, experts reviewed a large amount of historical materials and found that there are records about the armor-picking knife in many ancient documents.
For example, in the Ming Dynasty's "Kaopan Yushi·Study Utensils Notes", it is recorded that "a small stationery box is made of red sandalwood, and contains a small cutting knife, earrings, tooth picking knife, finger picking knife, hair twister, tweezers, etc." It seems indispensable to use it when traveling."
It can be seen that the nail picking knife is not isolated. It is also matched with ear spoons for picking ears, tooth picks for picking teeth, and tweezers for picking up things, etc.
After deciphering the function of the strange gold artifact, experts also saw that the exquisite life of ancient people was not as shabby as we think today.
In fact, on the contrary, the life of ancient people was more exquisite, and the exquisiteness was beyond the expectations of modern people.
Chen Wenzhe was very satisfied to get an ancient nail clipper unexpectedly.
After walking around for a long time, in addition to gold, it seemed that there was still gold.
And he didn't find any decent old gold.
At this time, Chen Wenzhe was already impatient. He spent an entire afternoon here and found a nail-picking knife?
Finally, after a burst of chaotic footsteps, Mu Xiaolong made his debut.
This guy, his parents were arrested, and he hasn't forgotten to live broadcast.
However, he has really become a big anchor, and now he should make a lot of money by selling goods live.
As soon as he entered the hall, Mu Xiaolong's cell phone pointed at the people in the hall and started taking pictures.
The people who came to his home today were not ordinary people. No matter who showed up in his live broadcast room, he would benefit.
But are these big guys really willing to show their faces?
Don't tell me, those business tycoons are really willing. After all, it's a matter of showing their faces, and their companies also need publicity.
Chen Wenzhe shook his head and prepared to leave.
"This one is the owner of Yi Niantang. His porcelain is very famous, so he doesn't have to worry about selling it!"
Just when Chen Wenzhe was about to slip away, Mu Xiaolong didn't know whether it was intentional or prepared, so he caught him directly.
"Don't leave in a hurry. I know you don't like the gold in the hall, but the real treasures of my family are all in the basement, including a gold cup with clouds and dragons pattern!"
Looking at Mu Xiaolong with a smirk on his face, Chen Wenzhe's expression changed, and then he revealed a bright smile.
"Hello everyone!"
"Do you like my dragon-patterned gold cup?"
Mu Xiaolong was not polite at all and asked directly.
"I like it. If it's exactly the same as that imitation, but just that one, it can be sold for millions!"
"Haha, the imitation only sells for hundreds of thousands, but the genuine product actually sells for millions?" Mu Xiaolong said in pretending to be surprised.
"Yes, royal objects from the Ming Dynasty are worth this price!" Chen Wenzhe said directly.
"By the way, what I just introduced is not comprehensive. This Mr. Chen Wenzhe is not only a ceramic artist, he can also make bronzes. The imitation Jingyun Bell that has been making a lot of noise in Dahai Market recently was made by him. That imitation The bronze bell is worth twelve million!"
"Also, he is not only an artist, but also an appraiser. He is a Level 2 appraiser certified by the Gold Medal Pawn Shop. Don't look at it as just a Level 2 appraiser. That's because he is young and has not met some rigid standards, such as within the Gold Medal Company. As long as the transaction volume reaches one billion, you will be a level three appraiser."
"So, what he said cannot be said to be a golden rule, but it is not without purpose."
"You just say your family is rich? Why do you need to flaunt me to raise your worth?" Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but said.
"Haha, there's nothing I can do about it. Otherwise, how could I collect a fine of 9.2 billion? There's no other way, I have to make ends meet. If you cooperate, I'll give you a discount!"
"It's not a fracture, is it?" Chen Wenzhe said with a smile.
