This iron bucket is actually made of three layers of iron sheets. No wonder it took a while to be cut with professional tools before it was completely opened.
After opening it, a group of people gathered around it, wanting to see what was in the iron barrel.
There are some things that look like fillers in the iron barrel, probably to prevent the contents from being damaged by impact or violent shaking, and these things are already somewhat decayed.
Wang Xiaoshan put on gloves and a mask, and first cleaned these stuffing-like things from the iron bucket into a plastic bag. After cleaning for a while, he found something different in the middle of the iron bucket.
These things were wrapped in long strips with something similar to oil paper. Wang Xiaoshan didn't know the exact size of the things. Anyway, they were wrapped thickly and chubby. He did not open them immediately but continued to clean the iron bucket.
In the end, Wang Xiaoshan cleaned out a total of 20 long parcels from the iron barrel, and these 20 parcels were all about the same length, except that some were wider and some were narrower, but they were all wrapped fatly.
Wang Xiaoshan took out all the things, and then used his camera to take a picture of the iron bucket just now for the audience in the live broadcast room, and then took a picture of the things on the ground.
The audience in the live broadcast room just now saw the cutting process, but they were a little far away and couldn't see it clearly, so Wang Xiaoshan deliberately showed everyone the iron barrel first so that the audience could clearly see that it was an iron barrel and not a cannonball. "This is what is taken out of the iron barrel!"
[Old Wang’s move was indeed extraordinary. It was not a cannonball, and it actually fired something!]
[The things on the ground should be gold bars, Lao Wang is going to make a fortune again this time!]
[It’s really eye-catching. I feel that the things on the floor are not cheap. They are packaged so tightly, so they must be expensive!]
[Lao Wang, please hurry up and start an online class. I really want to learn about treasure digging. Please take a class!]
Audiences who wanted to see Wang Xiaoshan's jokes shut up. Facts speak louder than words. His operation has made many viewers admire him!
"I don't know what it is specifically, let's open one now and take a look!"
After saying that, Wang Xiaoshan put the camera aside, and then prepared to open one of them to see what was inside.
Wang Xiaoshan randomly picked up one of the 20 strips, and he started to unwrap it with gloves. The audience in the live broadcast room and the live audience were all staring at what he was about to unwrap.
This thing is wrapped very tightly, with three layers inside and three outside. There is actually a box on the innermost layer. The box is made of who knows what kind of material, but it is not decayed, but it is a little faded.
Wang Xiaoshan opened the box and placed a long black bar inside.
The strip is about 20 centimeters long and about 10 centimeters wide. On one side of the strip is a picture of a plant whose name I don’t know, and on the other side there are some traditional Chinese characters.
Wang Xiaoshan carefully placed the object in front of the camera and let everyone see the front and back.
Officer He and the others looked at the thing in Wang Xiaoshan's hand curiously, but they didn't know what it was. It was black and looked like a short ruler.
The audience in the live broadcast room and Officer He and his party were all waiting for Wang Xiaoshan to repay the favor. After Wang Xiaoshan showed it to everyone, he put the things back and said.
"That thing just now is ink. The four treasures of the study: pen, ink, paper, and the ink in the inkstone are talking about this."
"Now we all use ink, while the ancients usually used ink sticks or ink blocks like this."
"This kind of thing often appears in ancient palace dramas. You usually need to sharpen ink before writing!"
Not many people use ink sticks nowadays. Many people use ink to write calligraphy. Ink is more convenient and trouble-free to use.
After hearing what Wang Xiaoshan said, many people already knew what he was holding in his hand just now. Even if they have not seen the real thing, they have seen it in pictures or videos.
[At first I thought it was a gold bar, but it turned out to be an ink bar. How many bird eggs are the ink bars worth? The difference in price is a huge difference!]
[That’s not to say, for calligraphers and painters, the value of ink sticks is much higher than gold. Many great writers in ancient times liked to hide ink. This kind of ancient ink is called ancient ink, and it is very valuable for collection!]<
/p>
[Ink from the Tang and Song Dynasties is unique, while ink from the Ming Dynasty is rare. Many years ago, it was reported that a set of imperial ink used by the emperor, with ten directions in total, sold for nearly 10 million yuan!]
[Hey, Lao Wang picked up gold nuggets a few days ago, and today he picked up more than 20 black golds. Watching the live broadcast is heartbreaking!]
In ancient times, the appreciation of Tibetan ink was still very popular, and many people collected it in groups or sets.
Ink is an important material for writing and painting. Its quality can affect the artistic expression of calligraphy and painting, and also affects the preservation of artworks.
Therefore, many calligraphy and painting masters pay great attention to the choice of ink, and some people are almost harsh on ink.
It is very difficult to collect ancient ink, because ink is a consumable item and is easily damaged, so there are very few good inks left in the world.
The rate of return on investment in collecting ancient ink is not as high as that of porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, but the collection of ancient ink has a scholarly atmosphere, which has also led to many people liking to collect ancient ink, which has also led to the value of ancient ink rising.
Some of the ancient ink is still a cultural relic, so Wang Xiaoshan will dismantle everything on the ground and sort it into categories. If it can be sold, he will sell it. If it is a cultural relic, he needs to get it to a cultural relic unit to exchange for money.
Generally speaking, there is absolutely no loss in carrying this iron barrel down the mountain. It just depends on how much money you can make in the end.
"Everyone knows about opening a blind box, but no one knows what's inside. What came out this time was ink, and what comes out next time may be salt!"
"One has just been opened, and I still don't know what the remaining ones are. Isn't it just fun to open the blind box? How much it is worth depends on the strength of the blind box!"
Although Wang Xiaoshan already knows what they are, he still has to maintain a sense of mystery. He has only opened one, and there are 19 more. If the mystery is lost, the audience will not be interested in watching it.
Today, the number of people in Wang Xiaoshan's live broadcast room is higher than ever before, with nearly 150,000 people watching online, an increase of nearly 50,000 viewers in one day.
When Wang Xiaoshan was digging for treasures, the number of viewers had never increased so much in one day. When he dug up something that looked like a cannonball, it exploded. Is this a cannon that "canonized the gods"?
Officer He and his party left after seeing the Gu Mo driven by Wang Xiaoshan. They had a lot to do, and how could they have so much time to watch his live broadcast at Wang Xiaoshan's house?
And it was definitely an iron bucket. Officer He was relieved. He had to go back to deal with the smoke and soil that Wang Xiaoshan had just delivered to the police station. Before leaving, he asked Wang Xiaoshan to finish his work and go to the police station. The smoke and soil that Wang Xiaoshan dug was not light, and it would be a bit heavy.
