The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

"Anyone who owns a submarine and a surgeon in this world can have a meal and eat no matter where they are."

Tom also watched the process of clearing the outpatient box, watched and watched, and said this to Nikolai who was on the sidelines.

He, the big steward, was really free once he got on the salvage boat, more free than when he was in any other place.

"What's the point?"

Nikolai was a little puzzled when he heard this.

"This is what Mr. Allen said. You can make your child a doctor in the future. It is a good job at any time, and the social status is also good."

"Ha, I don't know where the child's mother is. By the way, Mr. Tom, what does the boss say about the submarine?"

"I won't mention this too clearly. Maybe you can ask your husband at the right time."

The big guy shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, the boss's idea is not something people like me can understand. And..."

Hearing the tone of the big guy a little bit embarrassed, Tom raised his head and glanced at this man, and asked, "What else?"

Nikolai gave a terrifying smile, "hehe" and said with a smile: "Two questions, Mr. Tom, don't be angry when you say that."

"Angry? No, just say it, I'm not stingy."

Mr. Butler thinks that this big guy is quite solid, more upright than the Mark brothers, so that he will often chat with him in his spare time.

"Then I can talk about it."

"Say."

"First, Mr. Tom, I guess my child is not too small. It is not suitable to be a doctor. Being too tall is very troublesome, and it is tiring to have an operation.

Also, I remember the boss said a word last time, called...oh, called ‘to persuade people to study medicine, thunder strikes! ’

Therefore, it is more appropriate for my child to be a bodyguard in the future. Forget the doctor. I heard that the boss has never made a mistake. I also think that the boss is all right. You have to listen. "

Tom was really not angry. He still found it interesting. He waited for the big guy to finish and said slowly: "You only listened to half of what Mr., as a successful person, besides needing butlers and bodyguards like you and me, you also need A good doctor and a good lawyer.

The original words of the husband should be: to persuade people to study medicine, to thunder and strike; to persuade people to study the law, to use a thousand swords. So, what about persuading people to learn forensic medicine? "

Tom finished this paragraph in a serious, rare joke.

The big guy didn't answer the conversation, so he ducked aside and pondered slowly.

Alas, it’s still too young, and it’s okay to quarrel with the old steward of the rivers and lakes. If you don’t lose, there will be ghosts!

Here, Zhang Nan didn’t pay attention to the conversation between the butler and Meat Shield, because he noticed that among the gold coins obtained from the medical visit box, most of them belonged to the currency in circulation when the "Central America" ​​was sunk. Several East India Company gold coins with the head of the Queen of England are very well preserved, and there is no trace of use at all.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that the circulation of these gold coins was very small at the time. It seems that they were refined coins minted to commemorate how many years Queen Victoria was enthroned. They should have collected value at the beginning.

There were refined coins in the 19th century, and the concept of commemorative coins also existed, like extreme cases such as the "1804 wave first dollar silver coin".

The chronology "1804" was actually cast after 1834. At that time, it was given as a gift to leaders of other countries as souvenirs.

Based on this analysis, this doctor, who didn't know his surname more than a hundred years ago, might still be a commemorative coin collector.

All the gold coins have been sorted and sorted. Except for the broken suitcase itself, there is only a small rectangular silver box that has not been opened.

The outside of the box is already blue-gray with a little black, but if you look closely, you can find that the surface of the box is engraved with a pretty branch flower-like pattern.

The upper and lower petals have been rusted and stuck together, so I want to open it somehow.

Metal utensils cannot be used, so use chemical methods?

No, that's not appropriate either, Zhang Nan has his own way.

"Tom, go there and get a pair of bamboo chopsticks." Sitting under the awning, he turned to Tom.

"Yes, sir."

The butler turned around and left.

After a while, I got a pair of very ordinary bamboo chopsticks. Of course, this ordinary is for Zhang Nan. If it were not for his own reasons, they would not appear here.

This is Huaxia's bamboo chopsticks, or the bamboo chopsticks in Yanxian County.

I asked Kunkka for a sharp sailor's knife and began to slowly cut it, cutting the thinner heads of the two chopsticks into a flat shape.

Use the sharpened bamboo chopsticks to slowly draw against the gap in the box. After the tip of the chopsticks is sharpened, cut off a section and continue to draw slowly.

Soon, the rust on the four sides of the silver box joint was scraped off, and the chopsticks were used as chisels. One end took a small hammer and slowly knocked on the chopsticks tail, not in a hurry.

A group of people watched the boss work slowly, and felt that he was not anxious or impatient, and was absolutely expert.

Seeing everyone giving face, Zhang Nan said while working: "I made a big silver box a few years ago, it was heavy enough, and it was rusted all around, much worse than this.

I use chopsticks to deal with it slowly, and I can't do it in a hurry, let alone use metal utensils. "

After a while, the lid of the box was finally loosened, a basin was put on the table, the box was put in and opened.

A puddle of dirty water came out, and when he could see what was inside, Zhang Nan smiled and said, "It seems that I really guessed right. This doctor is still a collector of rare coins."

This is actually a 19th century "home-made version" of the coin collection box. The inside should have been separated into two layers with cardboard and flannel. This would basically rot things like partitions and leave it. A few coins.

"Bring another basin, fresh water." As he said, he took out one while wearing gloves.

"Oh, in 1839, the British'Yona and the Lion' 5 pound refined gold coin. The British boasted that the world's most beautiful gold coin was the most beautiful gold coin in the 19th century.

With a circulation of 400 pieces, I didn’t expect to have one. This is bragging. The design and engraving skills of William Wayne, the chief engraver of the Royal Mint, are really superb..."

Victoria became the Queen of England at the age of 18 in 1837. This gold coin was made for her. The weight is actually not as heavy as a normal five-pound gold coin~www.wuxiaspot.com~Gold is not worth five pounds and is a commemorative coin.

On the front is a bust of the young queen. Surrounding the bust is the Latin inscription VICTORIABRITANNIARUMREGINA, which means “Victoria, by the Lord’s grace, the queen of the British territory, the defender of faith.”

Unlike ordinary gold coin characters that only appear on one side, the back of it actually also casts Victoria, portraying her as a girl Yuna, a figure similar to the fairy tale "Fairy Queen" hundreds of years ago, guiding a symbol The lion of England.

A circle surrounds the Latin inscription "DIRIGEDEUSGRESSUSMEOS", which means "May God guide my steps."

"This product is okay for more than ten or two hundred thousand dollars. It is generally not available for purchase, and it hardly appears on the market."

Of course, Zhang Nan has this gold coin long ago, and it is still a handed down collection with no traces of circulation, originally from Berchtesgaden.

In that year, 400 pieces were cast, many of which were actually presented to other royal families in Europe. Later...

Became a mustache.
