Chapter 242 The Indian's Stall
The scene of bargaining is staged again.
When the stall owner saw someone asking about this incomplete navigation chart, he immediately began to speak out about the lotus. This picture involves a mysterious pirate treasure, this picture is a precious cultural relic, and you can get a glimpse of the legendary Klaus golden anchor. Anyway, no matter how evil it is, the stall owner will say what he said.
Chris and the others were stunned. After all, pirate culture is quite popular in the United States, and almost every American has a pirate dream in his heart.
But Yang Jing has seen a lot of this. Not to mention the boss in the antique market in China, even a fake porcelain that has just been released, the boss can tell you a flower. Just say that when he bought the first incomplete navigation chart at the Wanfo flea market in Paris a few months ago, the stall owner said it was so evil.
Therefore, Yang Jing has long been immune to this kind of random fooling people.
The stall owner kept chatting about "bara" there, Chris and the others listened with interest, while Yang Jing secretly activated the "identification" skill. Sure enough, this incomplete navigation chart and the previous navigation chart were from the same navigation chart.
"The Incomplete Pirate Navigation Chart, 1720, 'Sea Snake' Boardman."
The identification result is no different from the navigation chart purchased at the Wanfo Flea Market. These two incomplete navigation charts were artificially torn apart on the same complete navigation chart.
The stall owner was still spitting out splashes, but it was obvious that he had fooled the wrong person. He probably regarded Yang Jing as his follower, and Chris, the bodyguard who dressed like the boss, was the real buyer.
"Hey! How much does this picture cost? Don't tell me about the useless ones. Also, you tell them that they are useless. They are my bodyguards!" Yang Jing asked impatiently.
As soon as he said this, even the stall setters on both sides of the stall laughed, but the stall owner was a little embarrassed and immediately recovered.
My face is indeed thick enough.
"Sir, if you really want this pirate treasure map, then you need to take out at least three thousand dollars." As soon as he said this, Yang Jing obviously heard a few stalls around him booed. Although the sound was not loud, it was enough to prove that the stall owner was slaughtering himself as Kaizi.
Yang Jing shook his head and said expressionlessly: "This is clearly a broken navigation chart. I can't tell what kind of treasure map it is, so don't fool people with useless words! Do you want to sell it for $200?"
Hearing Yang Jing's fierce price-snatching price, the person next to him made a low sound of surprise again.
This guy is not Kaizi, this guy is a fierce Mexican wolf!
Sure enough, Yang Jing's fierce price-stopping price immediately stunned the stall owner. He didn't seem to have expected that the black-haired and yellow-skinned Asian man in front of him would be so ruthless.
Shaking his head, the stall owner said firmly: "This price is not good, absolutely not! This is a cultural relic with a history of hundreds of years. Do you want to take it away for 200 US dollars? That's impossible! If you really want it, you have to take out 400 US dollars..."
More and more people were watching the fun around him. When he heard the boss's words, he immediately burst into unscrupulous laughter.
The boss blushed and was about to say something, when he saw a hand suddenly in front of him, with four green Franklins in his hand...
"BOSS, you were cheated! This incomplete navigation chart is just a bit of history, has no effect, nor is it a pirate treasure map. Your four hundred dollars have been spent in vain." Clark, who was tall and powerful, reminded with kindness.
The other three bodyguards nodded in agreement. Four hundred dollars is not a small number anymore, so you can buy a lot of good things.
When Yang Jing saw that they happened to be at the edge of the market, there were not many people around him, he waved and said, "Come around, don't let others get close. Since you don't believe in my eyes, I'll let you see it!"
The four of them surrounded Yang Jing and directly surrounded Yang Jing. Yang Jing pretended to be in his pocket and quietly opened the storage space, taking out the navigation charts he had bought from the Wangfu Flea Market.
Then, when Yang Jing pieced together these two nautical charts in the middle, the two incomplete nautical charts were indeed pieced together. Although they were not so tight, everyone could see that these two nautical charts should have been one before.
"Did you see it? The broken navigation chart above was found in Paris, and this half of the navigation chart was found here in front of you. Gentlemen, do you have any suggestions for these two navigation charts now?"
Several bodyguards were a little stunned.
This is Beaumont, more than 8,000 kilometers away from Paris, and there is also an Atlantic Ocean and half a North American continent in the middle. So how could the nautical chart that was supposed to be one was divided into two halves and so far apart?
Clark, who just now kindly reminded Yang Jing, was obviously a pirate fan. After seeing this situation, he immediately said excitedly: "BOSS, are the two navigation charts you bought really left by those pirates back then? Wow, if you can get all this navigation chart, then wouldn't we be able to find a legendary pirate treasure?"
George Bruce also pounded John Bruno next to him excitedly. As for Chris, he said directly: "BOSS, why don't we prepare a boat now and then follow the route marked on this navigation chart to find the pirate treasure!"
Several bodyguards nodded in agreement with certainty.
Yang Jing smiled and put away the two navigation charts, then said, "Don't you see that this navigation chart is not complete? Please, can you use your brain? Don't say whether this navigation chart is a treasure map for pirates, just in this incomplete state, where do you ask us to find a destination? It's easy to build a boat now, but when we get the boat, are we going around in circles and playing around the Atlantic Ocean?"
The tall and big Clark grunted for a long time before he said embarrassedly: "BOSS, we just want to follow you to find the legendary pirate treasure..."
Yang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "OK, actually, I really want to find a pirate treasure, okay? But now we obviously don't have that condition. If this navigation chart is really collected in the future, I will definitely take you to the Atlantic Ocean to find a circle? As for now, let's take a look around this flea market with peace of mind."
Only then did the bodyguards gather their minds and continued to follow Yang Jing around him to visit the flea market.
Not long after leaving, Yang Jing saw a small area that was unique.
The reason why this small area is unique is that the people who set up stalls in this small area can tell at a glance that they are all native natives from North America - Indians.
Most of the owners of other stalls were wearing denim clothes or work clothes, but the stall owners who set up stalls in this small area were all wearing Indian clothes. One stall owner was even more powerful. He even wore a full set of Indian clothes, regardless of the temperature today that was more than 20 degrees.
Chris explained on the side: "BOSS, Oklahoma, which borders northern Texas, is currently the largest gathering place for Indians in the United States. Because at the beginning of the last century, with the discovery of a large amount of oil in the west, whites began to march into the west in large numbers, resulting in the increasingly fierce conflict between whites and Indians. Under such circumstances, the US government began to migrate Indians in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s, and eventually made Oklahoma the largest gathering place for native American Indians."
Clark added: "In fact, the name Oklahoma is taken from Indian, meaning 'Red Man', and refers to the native Indians."
Chris said: "As a state bordering Oklahoma, there are actually many Indian gathering places in Texas, and even in the oil city of Beaumont, there is a large gathering place for Indians. It is normal for Indian stalls to appear here."
Several people walked over and Yang Jing squatted down in front of a stall.
This is a street stall with strong Indian characteristics. The small stalls are filled with Indian special handicrafts.
As natives of North America, the Indians had a much longer history than those of the United States, so there were many handicrafts with very exquisite crafts.
For example, the most important companion in Indian life was horses, so painted horse carvings are the most famous handicrafts of Indians. There are no less than twenty painted horse carvings on this stall, which are of different sizes and shapes, but each horse carving is vivid.
In addition, there are other handicrafts, such as pottery urns, clay sculptures, jewelry, fabrics, etc., all of which have the characteristics of Indian indigenous culture.
Yang Jing also saw cloth dyed with various colors. Yang Jing knew that these cloths should be the bark cloth created by the Indians.
As the name suggests, this kind of cloth is made of bark, and its production process is relatively complicated. First, cut down the growing tree. The tree has two layers of bark. Throw away the harder bark outside, peel off the bark inside, soak it in sea water for more than half a month, and the bark will become soft and tough. After soaking, take the bark to the sun and start hitting it with a wooden stick to make it whiter. Finally, soak it in clean water, so that the bark will be almost done. However, for the sake of beauty, the Indians will pattern the cloth, and the cloth made in this way is as thin as veil and very beautiful. Then dye it with various colors and becomes the bark cloth like this.
Of course, in addition to these things, there are also various feather accessories, which are also the characteristics of the Indians.
The handicrafts in front of me are really very beautiful, and Yang Jing knows that these handicrafts are definitely made purely by hand, and are not comparable to those made by machines in stores in big cities.
