"Teacher, you're here." At this moment, the crowd pushed aside, and the steward of the northern town walked over.
"Hu Xueli, I'm not your teacher.”Elder Zhou glared at the young man with the golden frame and said with an unfriendly gaze.
"Teacher, don't you think this is an outsider? I'm studying in your class at Sichuan University's Department of Archeology. I even studied for my PhD there. I…"
"Alright then, you are now expelled from the sect.”
The expression on Hu Xueli's face froze.
"Young man, do you want to crack open this vat?”
"Go ahead. Since Elder Zhou is willing, I also want to see what's inside.”
The person next to him handed over a large hammer. Elder Zhou was old, but he did not even pant when he was holding the hammer that weighed more than ten pounds.
"Young man, before I smash it, I want to ask, how did you have the confidence to buy this big vat?”
"That's right, little brother. I've had this vat for a long time.”
"Usually, when I close my stall, I use a brick to press it down and don't take it away. No one has touched it in this town for several years. How can you be so sure that there will be good stuff inside?”Although Old Third Zhang was trembling with heartache, he still wanted to pursue the truth.
"Very simple."
"Eye affinity."
"It's the same as Elder Zhou's analysis." Wang Feng squatted down and pointed at the bottom of the vat.
"This big vat is very sturdy. After decades and the recent years of wind, sun, and rain, it hasn't lost its shape or peeled off its paint.”
"If I buy it back, it'll only be a few hundred yuan. Even if I lose money, I can still store it for water and plant flowers.”
As he spoke, Wang Feng stood up." Of course, my judgment is based on evidence.”
Under the gaze of the Golden Eyes, Wang Feng placed one hand on a slight crack.
"Everyone, please look over here. There are cracks on this vat, and they are intermittent.”
"And the cracks from the bottom to the top are different.”
Elder Zhou smiled." When making clay water vats, everyone knows that there is a difference between the clay body and the vat body. The clay body is naturally thicker, so it's normal for the cracks to be lighter at the bottom of the vat.”
"Of course it's normal."
Wang Feng knocked on the door." But when I knocked, there was no emptiness.”
"Everyone, take a look. There are no cracks inside. Therefore, the bottom of this big jar was specially reinforced when it was molded and fired.”
"I estimate that in a few years, when the crack at the bottom opens, everyone will be able to discover what is hidden inside.”
Elder Zhou narrowed his eyes." Then what do you think is inside?”
"A painting, a piece of calligraphy, a bag of broken silver, dozens of bullets, anything is possible.”
Wang Feng looked at Zhang Laosan." Boss, can I ask where you got this big vat?"”
"What are you asking for? It's from the countryside."
"Just north, near Chengkou County in Xishan Province.”
"Then why did you buy it?”
"What considerations?"
"That farmer ran out of flashlights, so I brought an old one with me, so I took it to exchange with them. Coincidentally, I don't have a box in my car to store things, and I've never bought this big tank before. Besides, I can use it for my stall, so I took it with me.”
"I see."
Wang Feng took a step back, giving Elder Zhou some space to smash.
Beside him, Hu Xueli frowned slightly." Teacher, this is just a broken water tank from the countryside. You really believe this kid?"”
"I told you, don't call me teacher."
"A fellow like you who follows those pedantic old things is not worthy of being my student.”
As he spoke, Elder Zhou swung his hammer down.
"Kacha!"
The water tank cracked quite a bit.
"Bam…"
When the second hammer hit, half of the tank's wall shattered, revealing a piece wrapped in oil paper.
"Yo, there really is something."
"Quickly take it out and take a look. It seems that the weight is not light.”
Elder Zhou carefully took out the oil paper.
He placed it on the ground and gestured for Wang Feng to open it.
Wang Feng frowned slightly." Elder Zhou, this has to be anti-oxidization."”
"Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.”
"I felt this oilpaper just now. It's about two items weighing about ten catties.”
"Tell me, what can survive the war and not depreciate? Since it's not a book or a scroll, then there can only be one thing.”
Wang Feng raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised." Could it be gold?”
"That's right."
Elder Zhou patted the oil paper." Let's go to the antique shop here and open it."”
"We still need to do some oxidization measures.”
"After all, it has been decades."
"We have to see which dynasty the gold is from before we can deduce its value.”
