Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 975 968. Treasure House, Numb

There was silence for a long time.

The treasure appraiser finally spoke.

"I am very grateful for your kindness, Prince. You found me and gave me so much reward. You must have recognized my vision. If there is anything inappropriate in what I said, please don't mind it."

He first piled up a pile of armor for himself.

It seems that the following words are not very pleasant to hear.

Qin Shubao said he didn't mind and asked her to just speak frankly.

The treasure appraiser was silent for a while before continuing, "Then I will tell you the truth. The gold and silver on it should be real, and they are not from the same period, but were embedded several times. I don't know much about gems, but judging from the color and size, they are priceless."

He said a lot of good things first.

Next, comes the “but”.

"But the main porcelain plate seems to be just an ordinary Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain, a foreign trade porcelain. It should be worth between 10,000 and 20,000 US dollars, probably not even worth a fraction of the gems on it."

As soon as these words were spoken, there were exclamations in the live broadcast room.

Why are all these gems, gold and silver inlaid on an ordinary porcelain plate?
Is it to raise the price of the plate? If it is bought at several times the price of the gem, it will be a huge loss.

Under normal circumstances, the treasure appraiser has to chat with the audience to make the whole work more effective.

But now, I don’t have the heart to do that.

He watched anxiously as Qin Shubao came up to Mansur and translated something in a gibberish.

Look carefully at Mansoor's face.

But surprisingly, Mansoor's face looked normal, and his smile didn't even disappear. Instead, it became even brighter.

He even touched his chest and saluted towards the live broadcast room again, and said a lot of gibberish.

Wait and wait.

Finally I got Qin Shubao's translation.

"Thank you for your honesty, wise man from the East. The prince said that this porcelain was obtained in... according to the Gregorian calendar, it should be 1622."

"1622, not recently." The appraiser felt relieved. It was a fraud in his old life, so it was much better.

Then he immediately figured out, "It is indeed Ming blue and white porcelain from the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty. It should have been transmitted through the Maritime Silk Road."

Qin Shubao smiled and nodded, then continued: "This porcelain plate was obtained together with four other items. Two of them helped the Owais family avoid two wars. The third one bought the Owais family a pasture with water sources. Since then, the Owais family has grown and prospered until now."

"And what is in front of you is the last one, which is kept by the Owaisi family. The gold, silver and gems on it were inlaid by the Owaisi family from generation to generation as a commemoration of the suffering of the ancestors of the family."

The treasure appraiser understood this time and reacted, "No wonder it was said to be the most important, not the most precious. It really deserves to be a family heirloom. It's too important."

That was more than four hundred years ago, and oil hadn’t been discovered yet.

The area of ​​Dubai should still be in the tribal era.

Still nomadic.

Life must be hard.

The audience in the live broadcast room also reacted and felt proud of it.

[Our ancestors were amazing. Ordinary foreign trade porcelain was sold along the Silk Road, which could actually avoid war there.]

[In the past, I only heard that ancient porcelain and silk were snapped up when they were sold abroad, and foreigners were obsessed with them. Now I really understand what it means.]

[Back then, the area was still poor and there was nothing good there]

[That’s a good thing, Dubai. Water is so precious in the desert. A porcelain plate can be exchanged for a pasture. Didn’t you hear him say that it was a pasture with water?]

[A country was established on a porcelain plate. I found out that their family was a large tribe and founded the country together with the royal family of Dubai in 1833. They had power at that time, most likely because they had a ranch.]

[There are so many gems. Are they worthless over there? ]

Really worthless.
-
Turning around the porcelain plate display cabinet, only one word comes to mind - domineering!
A display stand, with rows and rows of gems all displayed on it.

They have been cut, and each one is different in size and color.

The majority are sapphires, mixed with rubies, emeralds, topazes (also known as citrine, produced in the Red Sea), topaz (pure transparent yellow and sapphires), and black, white and pink pearls of various colors, which are round and warm.

This is not inlaid yet, just simply cut.

Going further ahead, there is a large area of ​​necklaces, rings, and earrings, in gold, silver, and platinum.

It was all inlaid with gems, especially the crown in the middle, which was densely inlaid with hundreds of gems.

The crown is not very big, but it feels like the stone must weigh half a pound.

It's dazzling and flashing.

According to Mansour, this crown was a dowry from his sister-in-law and came from the Qatari royal family.

When his eldest sister married into the Abu Dhabi royal family, she took away a headdress even bigger than this one.

This guy's in-laws are all royal families.

Their family really loves gems.

The treasure appraiser and the more than 70,000 people in his live broadcast room were already numb.

It was like being in a wholesale market, and large gemstones weighing more than ten carats did not seem to be anything special.

It would only be worth a second look if it was a finger-sized sapphire wrapped in gold and carved with patterns.

The treasure appraiser thought, you have so many good things, any one of them can be a gift, just grab it with your eyes closed, any one of them will be impressive enough.

But Mansur said that these were all new things, trinkets, and not valuable. There were also many things that he couldn't take out, such as the crown. How could he give away his sister-in-law's dowry?

The rest added up to less than 100 million US dollars, not enough to show for it.

The treasure appraiser stood there with his mouth open for a long time, and there were fewer comments in the live broadcast room.

You can't even come up with $100 million, what on earth are you going to do?

What kind of things are considered presentable?

I saw it right away.

A painting.

An oil painting.

A self-portrait of a person.

This person and this painting are particularly famous.

Although the appraiser appraises domestic antiques and curios, he also knows this Westerner.

Nima Van Gogh's self-portrait.

"Is this true?" the treasure appraiser asked numbly.

It's really numb already.

Mansoor looked at the label on the side and was very sure, "It's real. It was bought at Sotheby's in 06. It's one of more than self-portraits by Van Gogh."

Phew, the treasure appraiser exhaled, "It turns out that Van Gogh has so many self-portraits. How narcissistic."

I thought there was only one, but to my surprise there were so many.

"Indeed, they are not his most famous paintings, and they only cost 70 million US dollars," Mansour said casually.

"Ahem~~" The treasure appraiser choked up. Seventy million dollars in 06 was only...

Then I saw Dali, and then Defoe, Dickens, and Flaubert.

The latter few are not painters, so here are their manuscripts.

After the collections from the West, we saw more treasures from the Arab world.

Helmets, daggers, scimitars, shields, and books.

There are many Arab items, such as helmets, daggers, scimitars, and books.

There are even Egyptian mummies.

This thing wouldn't look out of place in the treasury.

After walking through the Arab area.

Finally arrived at the Oriental Collection.

The first thing that caught my eye was a cabinet of armor plates with words on them.

"What the hell! Oracle bone inscriptions!" The treasure appraiser was struck by lightning, "This thing is not worth collecting..."
