Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

After Ma Guoqiang finished speaking, Wang An nodded nonchalantly and said:
"Well, these are all things I've acquired over the years. Do you two brothers have anything you've got your eye on? Aside from the leopard fur and the sheep fur, feel free to pick anything from the things in the lower room, hahaha. Don't be shy."

Wang An's words were absolutely sincere.

The main point is that these things are nothing special to Wang An, and if they want them, Wang An will definitely not hesitate to give them away.

Upon hearing this, Ma Guoqiang suddenly pointed at the hanging ram's head with a playful expression and said:
"I've really taken a liking to that one, the one with the long, horned ram's head, what should I do? This thing is really good, those horns, they're so long, they must be at least 1.2 or 1.3 meters long!"

It must be said that this ram's head is indeed very unique. Putting aside the medicinal value of the ram's horns, it is just that this thing looks particularly beautiful. The two long horns that look like scimitars look particularly domineering, and it is no less impressive than a deer head with large antlers.

Wang An waved his hand and said very generously:
“Take it if you like it. I raise those eagles specifically to catch takins. I’ll definitely have plenty of these in the future.”

Ma Guoqiang's face lit up with joy, and he said:

"I'm not kidding you, I'm really proud of this thing. Those big horns, holy crap, just looking at them is so damn satisfying."

Wang An smiled slightly and said:

"Oh, don't be so polite with me, it's nothing. Brother Liang, do you want it? If you do, the smaller one next to it is yours."

To everyone's surprise, He Liang shook his head and said:
"I still think the moose antlers look more imposing, like two large, serrated knives."

Wang An waved his hand again and said:

“Then you can take it away. There’s a bullet hole in that skull. You’ll have to find a craftsman to plug it up, otherwise it won’t look very nice.”

He Liang chuckled and said:

"That's exactly the bullet hole I want. Then I can brag to everyone that I killed that moose, hehehehehe."

It's clear that He Liang really does have that show-off mentality.

Wang An casually chuckled:

"Fine, say whatever you want. You can even say you strangled the moose, we definitely won't call you out on it, hahaha."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, not only did Wang An laugh, but Ma Guoqiang and He Liang also burst into laughter.

After laughing, He Liang and Ma Guoqiang each took a few wolf teeth and a few wild boar tusks, saying they wanted to make some pendants and ornaments. Wang An naturally waved his hand, indicating that they could take whatever they wanted.

Once the two of them had looked away from the strange and unusual things, they opened the box with Wang An and took out the plates, bowls, vases, and other items to examine them.

After a while, He Liang frowned and said:

"Why do I feel that all of your porcelain pieces look like they were fired in the Xiaonan Kiln during the Ming Dynasty?"

After He Liang finished speaking, Ma Guoqiang nodded and said:
"Yeah, I think so too. It's most likely a product of Xiaonan Kiln."

Although Wang An had been reborn, he had never heard of this so-called "Little Southern Kiln," so he subconsciously asked the two people:
"You two are pretty impressive, aren't you? You can even tell what's going on here?"

He Liang glanced at Wang An and said:

"Do you think we're all a bunch of good-for-nothings? Don't we all have to learn a little bit about everything? Otherwise, if someone gives you a freshly fired vase, you won't even know what it is."

Ma Guoqiang also said:

"Although we didn't do a completely secretive job, we can still figure out pretty much everything, right?" Wang An chuckled, not arguing with the two of them, and said:
"Then tell me, what's the story behind this Xiaonanyao?"

He Liang kept picking up a plate or bottle, examining it carefully before putting it back in the box, then picking up the next one to examine it again. He said aloud:

"Xiaonan Kiln was a folk kiln in the Ming Dynasty, mainly producing coarse porcelain for daily use, and the products were sold to ordinary people."

As he spoke, He Liang picked up a small bowl, pointed at it, and said:
“This is a typical white-glazed open bowl. The body is very coarse and there is no decoration. It is definitely not something used by high-ranking officials and nobles.”

After He Liang finished speaking, Ma Guoqiang also picked up a plate and a small jar and said:

“Look at these two, they are both small blue and white porcelain pieces, which are also the most common items produced by Xiaonan Kiln.”

And so, the two of them began to comment on the porcelain in the box, one after the other.

After commenting on several points, Ma Guoqiang finally said with a look of surprise:

"Hey, I actually found something good. Look at this little bowl. It's a Song Dynasty-style white glazed bowl. This one is more valuable than the ones we saw before. Just this one is worth more than ten of the previous ones."

Wang An took it and examined it. He found that the small bowl was indeed very unique. The white glaze on it was obviously more delicate, and the bowl as a whole was not so rough. Most importantly, the bottom of the bowl was inscribed with the words "Made in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty" in traditional Chinese characters.

Soon, He Liang, as if discovering a new continent, picked up a white porcelain vase and said with a happy face:
"This one's even more amazing! It's from the Tianqi era! This is valuable, this is definitely valuable, hahaha!"

Wang An frowned and subconsciously said:

"Isn't the Wanli Emperor's piece older? Then why is the Tianqi Emperor's piece more valuable?"

If Wang An remembers correctly, the Tianqi Emperor was followed by the Chongzhen Emperor, and the Wanli Emperor preceded the Taichang Emperor. In between, there was only a very short period of time.

Ma Guoqiang took the vase, his face beaming with joy, and said:
"The Wanli period pieces are indeed older, but the Tianqi period pieces are fewer. The Tianqi reign lasted only seven years. How many kilns of porcelain were fired in those seven years?"

To be honest, Wang An's knowledge of antiques is nowhere near the level of He Liang and Ma Guoqiang.

Wang An nodded and stopped talking. He felt that whatever he said would be embarrassing, as speaking would expose the fact that he did not have a diploma.

Just as He Liang and Ma Guoqiang were excitedly picking out the good stuff from a pile of junk, Wang An couldn't help but say something to the two of them:

"Hey Liang, and Qiang, how about we stop picking and choosing? We're just exchanging foreign currency anyway, so it doesn't really matter how we choose."

He Liang rolled his eyes at Wang An and said:

"How can that be the same? We can't let anyone fool us."

Ma Guoqiang also said:

"Yeah, if we can keep these Song-style white porcelains, we should keep them all. They're all good stuff."

Wang An clicked his tongue, stood there waiting for a while, and then couldn't help but say again:

"Why don't you two pick first, and then I'll get some food and we can have a drink at noon?"

Ma Guoqiang waved his hand and said without looking up:
"Go ahead, we'll go out the day after we finish picking it out."

Wang An suddenly realized that these two actually enjoyed the feeling of picking out treasures from a pile of things. The key was that even with their status, they wouldn't normally have access to so many antique porcelains. (End of Chapter)
