Treasure Hunt all over the World

The waves caused by the siege were very small, and soon subsided completely, as if nothing had happened.

Most people didn't notice this little episode at all, and they still enjoyed the fun of Taobao. A few children selling water at the stall seemed to be even more excited!

The treasure hunt continued, and Ye Tian returned his attention to the market, looking for valuable treasures among the dazzling array of goods.

After another half an hour of shopping, more than half of the stalls in the market have been swept away.

During this period, Ye Tian still didn't find any antique works of art that made his heart flutter and was worth selling himself, but he added some tasks to Bowie! Not without gains!

It was another new booth, Ye Tian walked up to it and began to check the goods here.

There are a few pretty good antiques on the stall, but they are all placed in the hands of the stall owner and are very cherished.

Next to the two pieces of nineteenth-century porcelain that radiate red light, there are several pairs of white gloves, reminding people to be careful when appreciating them, and they must wear the gloves provided by the stall owner.

The rest of the goods are arranged according to their value from the inside to the outside, with the cheapest ones on the outside. The order is very clear, without any omissions or mistakes.

Obviously, the stall owner has a thorough understanding of his goods, and there is nothing to miss!

Ye Tian stood in front of the booth and glanced at the goods, and immediately realized this, so he didn't even bother to ask about the price, and was ready to walk away after admiring it.

But the moment he raised his head, he saw a strange scene.

"what!"

Ye Tian sighed softly,

With some curiosity.

His voice was so low that no one could hear him except Betty beside him.

"Honey, what do you see?"

Betty asked in a low voice, a little surprised.

"Nothing, just two pieces of furniture!"

Ye Tian replied with a smile, his expression returned to normal in an instant.

His eyes under the sunglasses were looking at the grass not far behind the booth, where there was a set of American country-style office desks and chairs.

The first thing that catches the eye is a brown-red desk, about two meters long, one meter wide, and about 80 centimeters high. It is wide and heavy, and looks very strong.

There is also a duke office chair, which is also brownish red, about 60 cm long, 65 cm wide, and about 1 meter high, and it also looks very strong.

This should be a set of furniture with a uniform style, all of which are American country styles; the wood is the same, and all of them are relatively precious cherry wood.

The production process is also highly consistent. The painting process that retains the original texture of the wood, the rich old-fashioned effect, and the simple and clear lines illustrate their identity from one place.

Both pieces of furniture have a dazzling white glow that shows their age, and they are two antique furniture from the mid-1920s.

It is a pity that they are not the works of famous masters, only have more than three halos, and their artistic value is limited.

From Ye Tian's location, the two pieces of furniture are still in good condition, there is no damage, and the exterior is relatively clean.

Considering its century-old history, relatively precious wood, not-so-great craftsmanship, and the country style that Americans love most, these two pieces of furniture are still worth a lot of money.

Still at the current antique furniture market, this set of furniture should be worth 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars.

But an antique at this price is not enough to attract Ye Tian's attention.

What really surprised and curious him was the color radiating from the desk.

In Ye Tian's eyes, most of the desk was emitting dazzling white light, but at the front right table foot, there was a beautiful red! Very eye-catching!

Apparently, there was something else going on inside the table legs, hiding an antique from the nineteenth century.

Judging by the intensity of the red light radiating from this hidden antique, it dates from the early 1860s, around the time of the American Civil War.

Although this is an antique from the 19th century, the red light is beautiful and charming, but its appearance does not have any halo, not even a layer!

That said, this antique has no artistic value whatsoever!

Who would hide an antique that has no artistic value? And it's not superfluous to hide it in the table legs with such painstaking efforts?

Can't explain it at all! Ye Tian couldn't figure it out!

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, he didn't choose to see through immediately. Instead, he held back his curiosity and pointed to the two pieces of furniture and asked the stall owner:

"Good afternoon, buddy, are those two pieces of furniture yours? Can I go over and have a look? It seems to be cherry wood furniture, it looks good!"

"That's right! Steven, your vision is very sharp. Those are two pieces of cherry wood furniture from the 1920s! Of course you can look at them, as you please!"

The stall owner nodded and said, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.

This bastard really deserves to be a famous professional treasure hunter. He can tell the material of furniture at a glance from five or six meters away, and he really lives up to his reputation!

"OK!"

Ye Tian responded, and then led Betty around the booth to two pieces of furniture.

Jason and Sophie followed, both curious.

This is a typical American country style furniture, you can see it everywhere, don't you see anything special? Why is Steven interested in them?

Walking in front of the two pieces of furniture, Ye Tian didn't immediately look through the table legs to see the hidden antiques, but studied the huge desk in front of him.

As seen before, this is a calm, dignified and elegant American-style desk, suitable for large-sized living rooms or relatively spacious offices.

It can be seen from this that the original owners of these two pieces of furniture were at least middle-class families with a spacious house and a relatively well-to-do family.

After studying the desktop, Ye Tian began to study the drawers, the bottom of the table and the legs of the table.

Opening the middle drawer, he immediately saw a line of small characters, engraved on the side of the drawer, which read, "1925, Chattanooga"

Only then did he realize, no wonder the stall owner knew these two pieces of furniture so well, the roots were here!

The five drawers are all in good condition, and there is no damage, but there is a slight delay in opening and closing, which is a common problem with antique furniture.

After all, it has not been used for a long time! As long as you use it for a while, this situation will disappear!

After reading a few drawers, he looked at the bottom of the table and the legs of the table. There were a few graffiti works and a few nicks by children on the bottom of the table, and there were no other marks on the rest.

In the process, he carefully observed the table legs where the antiques were hidden, trying to find some clues! This can provide an excuse for your present.

Of course, the premise is that the hidden antiques are worth selling by yourself, and you are willing to buy these two pieces of furniture.

Soon, he found a small gap at the joint between the table leg and the table body, most of which were covered up by paint filling, leaving only a finger width.

In the eyes of others, this is a normal interface gap.

But in Ye Tian's eyes, this is a good excuse, it can just be used to cover up how he discovered and hidden the antiques!

You can see through it, and see what the antiques inside are? Is it really worthless, just a bad taste of the furniture owner's treasure chest!

Perspective is on! His sight instantly penetrated the dense cherry wood, and he could clearly see the secret hidden inside.

There is not much space in the table legs, about 25 cm deep and 10 cm in diameter. The upper part is connected with the table body with a special metal screw port, which fits perfectly!

The lower part is connected with the table leg at the back. If you want to twist the table leg, you must first remove the crossbar at the bottom to reveal the hidden secret.

This is like double insurance, ensuring that the secrets at the foot of the table will not be easily discovered.

There is a metal cylinder hidden in the table leg, about 20 centimeters high and 8 centimeters in diameter, slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the table leg.

The space between the two is filled with cork, and there is no gap, which ensures that the metal cylinder will not shake inside the table legs and be felt.

The metal cylinder is sealed and topped by a screw-top lid, which is effective against termites and protects what is hidden inside.

It's too thoughtful! What kind of baby is inside? Well worth the trouble! Is it another treasure?

Ye Tian secretly sighed in his heart, he was getting more and more excited!

His sight didn't stop for a moment, he looked directly through the metal cylinder and saw the antique hidden inside.

Another two layers of moisture-proof oiled paper, and then the antique that radiates red light.

This is a very ordinary notebook, the paper is a little yellow, there are only a few dozen thin pages, tightly rolled together, and the red light emitted proves its age.

No wonder there is no halo, it turned out to be just a notebook, not a work of art!

But why hide it so carefully? What is recorded? Whose notes are they?

After a sudden, Ye Tian continued to explore this antique with many questions.

Immediately afterwards, a few lines written on the cover of the notebook came into his eyes very clearly!

The moment he saw these contents clearly, Ye Tian immediately felt his heart start beating wildly, almost bursting!

National treasure! This is the National Treasure of the United States!
