This made Zhang Junping a little frustrated.

I carefully recalled the report I had read about the billion-euro oil painting treasure.

It's a pity that I just glanced at it out of curiosity.

I only remember that it was an eighty-year-old man in an apartment in Munich, and I didn’t pay attention to anyone else.

Oh shit!

If I had known that I could travel through time, I would have carefully studied all the reports of discovered treasures in later generations and memorized them in my mind.

What a bad start!

Zhang Junping put the matter aside for the time being, got on his bicycle and left the hotel.

Today is Sunday, and it’s time to go to Munich’s flea market to do some shopping.

The flea markets in various cities in Prussia are basically open on Saturdays and Sundays.

Yesterday, Zhang Junping was too busy investigating the last and most promising person that he didn't even bother to go to the flea market.

There are also a lot of people at the flea market in Munich, which is not much worse than the flea market in Berlin.

Zhang Junping followed the crowd into the flea market.

Then stop at the first stall.

Happy opening.

This is a two-foot-tall wood carving of a horse-riding Guan Gong statue. He is a very skilled carver. Zhang Junping also has basic wood carving skills.

However, he thought that he could not carve the charm of the equestrian Guan Gong statue in front of him.

There are three types of Guan Gong statues, namely Guan Gong with a horizontal sword, Guan Gong with a standing sword and Guan Gong on a horse.

Hengdao Guan Gong is the God of Wealth and is usually worshiped by businessmen to pray for wealth and safety.

Li Dao Guan Gong is a man of righteousness and integrity. He is loyal and trustworthy. We often see him in TV series and movies. Young and Dangerous boys, associations and policemen in Hong Kong worship Guan Li Dao.

The third type is the horse-riding Guan Gong in front of us. If the horse succeeds, it means that he will be made a marquis immediately. This is not for worship.

"How much does this statue cost?" Zhang Junping asked, pointing to the statue of Guan Gong.

"Five hundred marks!"

"A wooden statue costs 500 marks. You can't just kill me because I'm Chinese. It's cheaper. There aren't many Chinese in Munich."

At your price, even a Chinese person cannot afford it.

Fifty marks is the most!" Zhang Junping negotiated the price with the stall owner in a fluent and authentic Munich accent.

Zhang Junping's words frightened the stall owner so much that he didn't look at the person and just listened to the voice, he thought he was a local from Munich.

"Not for sale! This statue was from more than a hundred years ago and is an antique!

It's an antique that my grandfather brought back from the mysterious other party!" The stall owner shook his head and refused.

"More than a hundred years ago? No wonder they are all cracked!

Then the most I can offer is twenty marks!" Zhang Junping shook his head regretfully.

"Are you making trouble? How can you bargain for less and less?" the stall owner said angrily.

He came here to set up a stall in the morning, but it hadn't opened yet, so he thought Zhang Junping was causing trouble for him.

"Your statue looks great, but it's cracked. I didn't notice it just now.

You didn't sell it when I offered you fifty marks, and now that I've discovered the cracks, I can't give you fifty marks anymore." Zhang Junping was not in a hurry, and slowly struggled with the stall owner.

"If you want fifty, take it and don't pull it down. I'll go home and chop the firewood!" The stall owner looked at the cracks on the statue of Guan Gong and said angrily.

"Twenty marks!" Zhang Junping was unmoved.

The reason why this Guan Gong statue is cracked is entirely caused by poor maintenance. It is estimated that this Guan Gong statue has been eating dust in the stall owner's house for many years. After accidentally digging it out, it looked like it was still worth a few dollars, so I got it.

Try your luck at the flea market.

"Take it, take it!" At this time, someone came over to ask for the price. The stall owner did not want to quarrel with Zhang Junping anymore, so he simply waved his hand.

Zhang Junping handed the stall owner twenty marks and picked up the statue of Guan Gong on horseback.

Oh, it’s quite heavy!

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Junping discovered that it was a statue of Guan Gong on horseback carved from the roots of small-leaf red sandalwood.

This kind of sculpture is usually used as a gift.

For example, if you give it to your leader, you may wish him immediate success and the title of Marquis immediately.

Holding the statue of Guan Gong on horseback, Zhang Junping did not leave in a hurry and continued to hunt for treasures in the stall owner's stall.

Zhang Junping found another set of export porcelain in the stall owner's stall.

Export porcelain is porcelain that was specially sold overseas in ancient times. Since the Tang Dynasty, China has sold a large amount of porcelain overseas every year.

By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, export porcelain had developed into a production model based on customized samples.

The patterns on the export porcelain that are customized according to samples are all exotic patterns.

"Boss, can you pick it up and take a look?" Zhang Junping asked the stall owner who was busy taking over.

The stall owner's business is now good. Zhang Junping made a deal while searching for treasures, and the price of another deal is being negotiated.

"Okay, be careful!" the stall owner said, looking back.

Zhang Junping reached out and picked up a Guangcai porcelain teapot, looked at the glaze color, and then turned it over to look at the texture.

Guangcai porcelain is a relatively special category of porcelain.

It is a kind of porcelain specially produced for export.

Since the Kangxi Dynasty established a trading port in Guangdong, Guangcai porcelain has gradually developed.

Not only is the color of Guangcai porcelain influenced by Western countries, which are mainly colorful, but also the shape of the porcelain is also influenced by the West, and many porcelain shapes are fired that are different from traditional porcelain.

For example, the Guangcai porcelain teapot in front of you clearly has the style of the Western Regions.

The body of the pot is slender, thin at the top and thick at the bottom. There is a pointed lid protruding from the lid. At first glance, it looks a bit baroque.

There are also differences between Guangcai porcelain. The porcelains of the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qian dynasties were mostly fine. Although the quality was good in the later years, the number of fine porcelains decreased year by year.

Although the set of Guangcai porcelain in front of me cannot be called fine porcelain, its texture is not bad and it can be regarded as a small fine product.

Zhang Junping negotiated the price and bought all the Guangcai porcelain for one mark a piece.

Just like in Berlin, I rented a warehouse in the flea market, stored the porcelain, and continued shopping.

Zhang Junping locked the warehouse door and was about to go back to the flea market when he suddenly saw two people sneaking around in the corner of the warehouse in front of him and didn't know what they were doing.

Looking at it carefully, one of the old men gave the middle-aged man a roll of something.

The middle-aged man opened it and took a look at it, then rolled it up and handed the old man an envelope.

Zhang Junping was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic.

He had just seen clearly that the roll was an oil painting, and the envelope handed to the old man contained Prussian Mark banknotes.

It looks like it's about two to three thousand marks thick.

An old man secretly traded an oil painting, and all he wanted was cash.

This reminded Zhang Junping of the treasure guardian he couldn't find.

It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.

At this time, Zhang Junping no longer cared about continuing to visit the flea market. He walked directly to the side and stared at the old man from a distance.

After the transaction was completed, the old man didn't stop at all and went straight out of the flea market.

Zhang Junping slowly followed behind, about two hundred meters away from the old man.

This distance is not easy to detect.

Of course, this distance refers to a relatively open place like this. In urban areas, it is more than 200 meters, and you may be thrown away with just one turn.

"Holy shit!" Zhang Junping couldn't help but cursed.

The old man actually came by car. The old man left the flea market and got into a car.

Zhang Junping quickly pushed his bicycle out, rode on the road, and waited for the old man.

After a while, the old man drove the car out of the parking lot and onto the highway.

Seeing the old man's car passing by, Zhang Junping waved his hand towards the old man's car, screamed strangely, and started to pedal hard from behind, chasing the old man's car.

Fortunately, the laws here in Prussia are stricter and the traffic and speed limits are better implemented.

The old man's speed was not fast, but Zhang Junping could still catch up.

Following the direction of the old man's car, Zhang Junping immediately felt something was wrong.

This is not the direction to the city, but the direction to the suburbs.

On the way, the old man stopped at a supermarket, bought a lot of things, then got in the car and continued driving forward.
