Chapter 3575 Be careful and you won’t make a big mistake
.
In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the situation was turbulent, and good things were everywhere on the market. The porcelain worth tens of millions and billions today was only worth two hundred yuan at most at that time. It would be even cheaper if it was cheated from the hands of the common people. As for some
How cheap it is depends on one's imagination. There is only cheaper, not the cheapest. In that era, only gold was the most valuable, and the rest was just floating clouds. The Erjiazi wooden boxes that were once strictly controlled by the Qing Dynasty, during that period
It's also easy to get, but it's just that the gang of profiteers who went overseas to tinker with things later took a fancy to it.
Taking advantage of the advantages of Erjiazi, they purchased them for long-distance shipping. In just over a year, Erjiazi was also called a rare species.
So, why didn't anyone make it again? At that time, brass was extremely rare, and it was impossible to get it without any connections. Moreover, even if there was brass, the process was extremely cumbersome. There were no presses or anything like that in that century, and copper
Like gold foil, both leather and gold foil need to be handmade.
The hammer knocks it out. You know, knocking brass is much more difficult than knocking gold. Except for those in the manufacturing office who are paid dead wages and have nothing to do, no one else is willing to do this.
Therefore, when all the costs are added up, the cost is so scary that no one can afford to make a second round of it, which is why it is so rare.
But everyone in the industry knows that anyone who can use Erjiazi must be rich or expensive. No matter how poor it is, the things contained must be valuable. Therefore, Lu Fei was so happy when he was sure that this box was Erjiazi.
Kong Jiaqi explained clearly, and everyone suddenly realized it, and they looked forward to the contents of the box even more.
Lu Fei took it upon himself to clean up all the outer packaging, and then rinsed it with water, so that everyone could see it more clearly.
As Lu Fei expected, the camphor wood box was not that strong. There were various signs of cracks in the wooden boards on the surface of the box. It was just that the copper skin was involved inside, so not all of it fell off.
After rinsing it clean and rearranging the box, the big copper lock on the lid had been corroded and completely useless. Lu Fei didn't make any ink, so he took a crowbar and pried it off directly.
"Crack, click!"
Good guy, everyone's jaws dropped to the floor. In the past, Fei Ge was always very careful when opening a box. Whether it was the lock or the surface of the box, he tried to keep it intact without damaging it. Look at the process of Fei Ge opening the box like that.
It's like appreciating performance art, it feels special
It's pleasing to the eye. But this time, Fei Ge is uncharacteristically different. When the box was on the bottom of the sea, he made plans to dismantle the ship's hull. Now he is so violent to the box. It's almost like two people. However, the violent demolition seems to be better.
search
It feels better. While he was talking, the big lock fell to the ground, and the lid of the box had been opened by Lu Fei. Lu Fei didn't shy away from it, let alone worry about any mechanisms. The box was so broken that all mechanisms should be scrapped.
, even if there is, there is no harm at all
Please stop wasting your time. When the box was opened, everyone could see clearly that the wooden board was actually wrapped with a layer of rusty copper. Lu Fei tried it, but with just a slight force, the copper was torn off.
A large area, looking at the stubble and rust, Lu
Fei nodded slightly: "It should be a private ship from the early Republic of China." Kong Jiaqi didn't pay attention to this. She kept staring at the inside of the box, but to her disappointment, everything she saw was black and mud-like.
The items accounted for one-third of the available boxes, and the valuable treasures were not seen at all.
Kong Jiaqi stretched out her hand, wanting to pinch it and take a look, but Lu Fei slapped her away and gave her a sideways look: "You are such an adult, but you are still so careless in doing things. Do you know what this is? Is it poisonous?
Will not rot
Eating skin?
If you dare to do something without knowing anything, you must be too courageous!"
Kong Jiaqi's pretty face was slightly red. She grew up beside her grandfather. She naturally knew that she had broken the rules. She knew she was wrong and did not dare to bite her tongue. She just stuck out her tongue naughtily.
Lu Fei told her to pay attention next time, and then took out a bunch of small odds and ends from his bag.
Small shovels, small pinches, small knives, small scissors, laughing pliers... Good guys, there are more than a dozen of them.
He put on disposable gloves and gave one to Kong Jiaqi. When Kong Jiaqi saw Lu Fei letting herself participate, Kong Jiaqi suddenly smiled happily.
"Brother, where to start cleaning up?" Kong Jiaqi asked.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look first."
Lu Fei said, and took out a small electronic object as big as a fist.
"What is this?"
"Small metal detector."
"..." Everyone.
Kong Jiaqi couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother, you are still carrying this thing, aren't you tired?" Lu Fei rolled his eyes and said: "You must be careful no matter what time you deal with such an unknown object, because, you
You never guess what things can cause you harm. A few years ago, when cleaning up the soil at an excavation site in Los Angeles, a staff member saw some oval-shaped substances the size of rice grains. This staff member had never seen anything like this before.
Out of curiosity, I stretched out my hand to pick it up, but didn't I know that it was a poisonous tribulus deliberately arranged to prevent theft. The staff member was pricked on his finger and was poisoned on the spot. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
