Director Hou looked at me in surprise, "I didn't expect Mayor Feng to be so knowledgeable. So, Mayor Feng, can you tell what material these tables and chairs are made of?"
I shook my head, "I don't know about that. I really haven't done any in-depth research on this thing, but I know that in the Ming Dynasty, most dignitaries used imported rosewood, rosewood, cypress wood, rosewood, etc.
Furniture made of wood is not prone to insects and has excellent hardness. Especially furniture made of rosewood is even more valuable now. It is said that even in Southeast Asia, where rosewood was once abundant, it is no longer
I can’t find anything like this anymore.”
Director Hou was very happy and proud after hearing what I said, "Mayor Feng, you are so right. Let me tell you, my bookshelves are made of rosewood and my tables are made of rosewood.
It is made of wood, and this chair is made of real rosewood. Such things are now considered rare in the country. I saw this by chance many years ago and bought it for a lot of money.
.”
I immediately went over to take a closer look at the chair, and found that the wood of this beautiful and generous chair was very delicate, and there was a warm feeling between the tentacles. I couldn't help but pat it gently, and sighed and said: "Such a good thing is only available in the world."
Only those who know it and know its preciousness are qualified to own it. Director Hou was able to recognize objects many years ago, and he dared to spend a lot of money to buy them at that time. This not only requires rich knowledge and wisdom, but also courage.
Ah. This is not something ordinary people can do."
He immediately became even more happy, "I like what Mayor Feng said. But I don't think what you said is completely right."
I suddenly realized, "Yes, what I said is indeed not quite correct. Like, there is nothing more important than a person liking something. As long as a person likes it, he will study it seriously, and even if it is
No matter how much money you spend, it’s worth it.”
He laughed and said, "Mayor Feng, although this is the first time I see you today, I find that I already like you very much. I will definitely have a few more drinks with you tonight."
In fact, this is completely a typical flattery for him, but I flatter him very cleverly. But what I say comes from my heart to a large extent. In my heart, I really admire those who have served him for many years.
People who have been able to identify and buy antiques of real value before. Those people are actually the real enthusiasts in the antique industry.
It is the same in any industry. Only those who are the first to get involved and achieve success are the ones who are truly respected by people. Their prophetic stories will eventually be regarded as legends. Moreover, such people will also have huge wealth.
Now, I am no longer surprised that the man in front of me owns this courtyard house and all these things.
Later, Director Hou said to us: "I invite you to see more of my treasures."
Then, he took out something like a remote control from his body. After pressing it lightly, I was surprised to find that not far in front of us, the floor there slowly slid open, and there were actually lines in front of us.
Stone stairs.
Director Hou smiled at us, and then led us down the stone staircase. The stone staircase was a bit narrow, and there was an iron gate in front of us after we went down. He took out the key from his body, opened the iron gate, and then opened the iron gate.
Then the light was turned on.
I looked inside and was stunned.
There are all kinds of weapons in it, old-style weapons, including eighteen kinds of weapons from the cold weapon era, such as bows, crossbows, guns, sticks, knives, swords, spears, shields, axes, axes, halberds, halberds, etc.
Whips, maces, hammers, forks, palladiums, swords, etc. are all available. There are also many Western weapons, among which the Japanese sword is the one I am most familiar with. There are also various armors, horse gear, etc. from ancient times.
This place is simply a weapons showroom.
Su Wen couldn't help but admired: "Director Hou, it must be very difficult for you to collect these things, right? They are so beautiful!"
Director Hou smiled and asked her, "Do you know these things?"
Su Wen pointed to the pistol hanging on the wooden stand next to her, "This is the Southern 14-year-old pistol used by Japanese officers during World War II. It is also known as the 'bastard box'. The caliber is 8 mm and the gun body is 120 mm long.
It has a bullet capacity of eight rounds." Then she pointed to another pistol not far away, "That was also the most commonly used weapon during World War II. The German shell gun, also known as the box gun, its official name is the Mauser military pistol, and its bullet capacity
Twenty rounds, range 150 meters..."
She named several weapons in succession. Director Hou was very surprised, "How come you, a lesbian, are so familiar with weapons?"
I then introduced: "Director Su used to be an investigator in our Shangjiang City Public Security Bureau. Maybe she had done some research on weapons before."
Su Wen said with a smile: "My favorite thing in the past was studying various firearms, but I have only seen many weapons in pictures. Today is the first time I have seen many weapons in real form." Hou
Director, you are so amazing, I can’t believe that you have such a complete collection of all kinds of weapons.”
Director Hou laughed, "This was done by taking advantage of my position. I am very familiar with the security guards of heads of state, and we often exchange our collections with each other. I used to be a soldier and I particularly like these things."
Immediately, he drove up and introduced the characteristics of these weapons to us one by one. He is indeed an expert in this field, and he was very interested when he started talking.
Later, he suddenly realized that it was a little late, "Look at me, I'm just here to explain these weapons to you... Let's go have a drink!"
In fact, I am not very interested in these things. I just pretended to be interested out of politeness. But I can see that Su Wen is really interested in these things. At this time, I thought to myself
:Maybe it’s not appropriate for Su Wen to be the current transportation director.
After leaving the basement, we returned to the tea place in front of the courtyard. When we left and entered the courtyard for the second time, I paid special attention to look at other places here. I thought: I don’t know how many treasures are stored in these rooms.
.
At this time, the sky has darkened, and the night in Beijing is coming soon.
Director Hou invited us to get in the car, "Mayor Feng, I like to collect these rare treasures. I also invited Governor Huang to visit before. That's all I like."
I smiled and said: "I heard Governor Huang tell me that you also like antiques. I'm sorry today. I hope I can have an eye-opening opportunity next time."
He smiled and said: "Those things are not worth mentioning. What I like most are the weapons I have collected over the years. When I have nothing to do, my favorite thing to do is to go to the basement and clean those guns one by one.
Carefully wipe them clean with gun oil, so that I can feel the sacredness of being a soldier." (To be continued)
