Yang Jing had no resistance to these handicrafts full of Indian style. Of course, he also believed that if the princess was by his side, she would have already pounced on her with a smile, then she took out the money from her bag and packed all the beautiful handicrafts.

That's right, with the princess' personality, she would definitely do this.

Similarly, why do two people eventually come together? It is undoubtedly one of the most important reasons for two people to have the same vision and hobbies.

So, after reading these exotic handicrafts, Yang Jing stood up and said to the stall owner in a very imposing manner: "Please pack all these cute handicrafts, I want to pack all your handicrafts!"

Compared to Old John's harnesses, Yang Jing prefers these handicrafts, and taking them back and giving them to friends as gifts is also a great choice.

The Indian boss didn't seem to understand Yang Jing's words, or thought Yang Jing was joking, so hesitantly asked: "Sorry, sir, can you say it again?"

Chris stood up with a smile and said, "You heard it right away just now, and you don't have to doubt that our boss is indeed going to buy all the handicrafts you have here."

Chris's words made the Indian boss finally understand that the Asian who had black hair and yellow skin like him was not joking, he was serious.

The Indian boss shouted excitedly at the partner next to him. Of course, he spoke in Indian native language, and even Chris and the others couldn't understand it. However, judging from the expressions and movements of the Indian stall owners around them, they were obviously very happy about the deal between their partners, so they came to help.

The Indian stall owner had about 150 handicrafts in total, and there were three bark cloths, all of which were wrapped around by Yang Jing, and only cost more than 10,000 US dollars.

Yang Jing thought that it seemed a bit too much if these pure handicrafts were taken back and given to others. So he waved his handicrafts in the four nearby Indian stalls were all wrapped up by Yang Jing.

There were five Indian stalls in total, and all the handicrafts combined only cost Yang Jing more than 50,000 US dollars.

This little money is nothing to Yang Jing, but it is a very large income for these Indians. Therefore, these Indian stall owners expressed great gratitude to Yang Jing for his generousness.

However, when an old Indian man took out a small dark red totem pole, Yang Jing's eyes were a little straight.

Yang Jing knew that the totem pole was the most important item in an Indian tribe. Although the totem pole taken out by the old Indian man in front of him was just a miniature, it was also extremely rare.

In fact, the word "totem" originally originated from the transliteration of the dialect "totem" of the Ejibwas in North American Indians, meaning "his relatives". For Indians, totem worship was the original form of primitive religion, which appeared around the late Paleolithic period.

The core of totem worship is to believe that a certain animal, plant or no creature is related to its own clan and is the ancestor and relative of this clan, so it is regarded as the symbol, symbol and protector of this clan. The Indians are a general term for all Native Americans except the Eskimos. Their ethnic composition is quite complex and the totems are also diverse.

The most important one is the thunderbird in the heavenly realm. In the legend of the Indians, the thunderbird is the owner of the "celestial realm". It can make itself invisible and appear in the form of strong winds. It appears on the Indians' Winter Festival. Usually on the totem pole, the thunderbird will be carved on a thick tree trunk and carved into two parts. The upper half is a bird with giant wings, with a hooked beak, and looks like an eagle; the lower half is four standing people leaning against each other, with round eyes, bulging bulges, big mouth, corners of the mouth fall, both breasts are exposed, palms are facing outward, and arms are hanging close to each other.

Of course, besides Thunderbird, there are more totems.

Most of the totems of North American Indians are animals, followed by plants. A tribe is divided into several different totem clans, and clans with the same totem are regarded as relatives. Clans with the same totem cannot intermarry with each other.

Many clans carve the image of totem on wooden pillars to make "totem poles". Generally, the totem poles are about thirty meters high, but some can reach 60 meters high. These totem poles are generally erected in the most eye-catching places in the village. As clan marks, some clans paint totem marks on their utensils and houses. Dance ceremonies are often centered on totem, and dancers also wear masks and costumes that simulate totem.

Although the totem pole is most prosperous in Indian gathering areas along the northwest Pacific coast of North America, there are still many such totem poles in other Indian gathering places in the United States or Canada.

Just like the miniature totem pole taken out by the old Indian man, it should be the totem worship of a local Indian clan. Even if it is just a miniature totem pole, it is extremely precious.

This totem pole is only about forty centimeters tall, with the thickness of the bowl. There are four different animals carved on it, but Yang Jing can't recognize what these four more abstract animals are.

However, this miniature totem pole is obviously an old object of age. I don’t know what wood it is made of the dark red material, but the weight is extremely heavy. Yang Jing feels that it is not even much lighter than red sandalwood.

Moreover, the patina on it is also very thick, which is definitely an old object that has been passed down for many years.

Yang Jing was also a little confused when he saw the Indian old man saying some native words that he couldn't understand with a smile with a hint of expectation.

The first Indian stall owner immediately translated to Yang Jing: "Mazululu said, thank you very much for your care, and Mazululu also asked if you like this totem pole. If you like it, he hopes to sell it to you for $30,000."

Yang Jing asked in confusion: "He is willing to sell me this totem pole?"

The Indian stall owner sighed and said, "Our tribes all know that this totem pole was brought back from the wilderness when he was young. Unfortunately, the Russian was unable to save it. This totem pole belonged to the Russian. It was finally obtained by the Mazuluru's grandfather and kept it in Mazuluru's home. Some time ago, the only grandson of Mazuluru was arrested for theft and needed a lot of money to bail, so Mazuluru had to sell this totem pole."

After a pause, the Indian stall owner said: "Our tribes all know that the totem pole of the Mazuluru family has a history of at least 100 years, and may even be longer. Moreover, this totem pole is carved from 'Manzanita' wood. Now this wood is rare in the United States and logging is prohibited, so this totem pole is even more precious."

"Manzanita?" Yang Jing murmured. He only felt that the name seemed quite familiar, so he put the totem pole in his hand aside, smiled at the old Indian man, made a gesture of waiting, and then took out the phone and called Lin Dan.

After a while, Lin Dan and Fatty came over. The fat man panted with his hands holding his knees and gasped, while Lin Dan was pulled over by Yang Jing.

"I remember you mentioned a kind of wood to me, called Manzanita."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

“I need details about this wood.”

When Lin Dan shrugged and said, "Yes, this Manzanita tree is a very precious tree, because it only grows in some places with microclimates in the south. In addition, there are some such trees on the western coast of the United States and the mountains of Mexico. There are also some such trees in Mendocino National Forest Park north of San Francisco, but there are very few species. Some varieties of this tree are even highly endangered species. Cutting is prohibited throughout the United States. It is protected and very precious."

After a pause, Lin Dan continued: "This tree has the smoothest bark, and its colors range from orange to red. And as the tree grows, its branches will grow in all directions, so it looks very uniquely distorted. It is precisely because this tree has this extremely special shape that the perfect branch shape of Manzanita has become popular in home decoration. Not to mention that its torso and root tumor are the best wood for many carved art and car wood art. In addition, Manzanita is one of the hardest woods known in the world. Its simple card hardness can reach 2,350 pounds, and the seventh in the world's universal furniture wood hardness table. The simple card hardness of your Chinese people is only 2,940 pounds, and the simple card hardness of big red rosewood is only 2,260 pounds."

After hearing Lin Dan's explanation, Yang Jing understood a lot. Needless to say, the totem pole in his hand was made of the red sandalwood, which was a $30,000 bucks, and it was a big leak, but if it was a red rosewood, it would be almost there.

The best 3A-grade Lao red sour wood on the market is only about 200,000 per ton.

However, the totem pole in front of me was carved from Manzanita wood. This kind of wood is obviously quite precious, perhaps not as precious as rosewood, but it is definitely more expensive than rosewood.

The totem pole carved from Manzanita wood in this section weighs forty kilograms. If it costs 30,000 US dollars, it is indeed a bit expensive. However, if the history of this totem wood is added, then 30,000 US dollars is not really expensive.

The most important thing is that this kind of Indian totem pole is really rare, and it would be a pretty good ornament if it was bought and placed at home.
