"These really do seems to be Ambergris."
Su Jing quickly landed on the sh.o.r.e and picked up a "stone" on the beach, he looked left and right and found that besides the color being not white, it was almost identical to the one that the killer whale had retrieved, and moved all the other huge stones to a pile, looking like Ambergris.
Su Jing can hardly believe it. Is he blessed today? That's too good luck, isn't it?
Su Jing took out the bag and put all the 8 stones in it. They weight about sixty jin. Although some of them were wet and had moisture in weight, they should be at least thirty or forty Jin when dried. Although none of them was white and would not be as precious as the one taken back by the killer whale, some of them were gray and light gray. The light grey ones are not bad either.
Su Jing can only pray now. These stones must be Ambergris. If they are not then they will be worthless and he would feel like falling from heaven to h.e.l.l.
Su Jing seemed to be carrying a large bag of cash and afraid of a slip, he did not wait and riding the killer whale, he went home.
When he got home, he found out that his mobile phone was blasting. There were more than a dozen missed calls. They were all left by Shen Hong. Su Jing called back and there was Shen Hong's anxious voice came from the other side: "Why don't you answer my phone, Su Jing? Are you planning to sell Ambergris or find someone else to identify them? I told you, don't find unreliable appraiser, otherwise, they will damage and destroy those things and they will become worthless, you…"
"No, I just went out to sea without my cell phone." Su Jing quickly interrupted Shen Hong.
"So you've come back? I'm at your door." Shen Hong was relieved to hear that.
"I'll let you in." Su Jing pressed the switch, and the door opened automatically and he went out to greet him. He found that Shen Hong was not alone. He was accompanied by a white-haired old man and a middle-aged man with a big box in his hand.
"Where is it?" Shen Hong couldn't wait any longer. When he arrived here, he was shocked by the courtyard and the house. Last time he came here, it was still in ruins. Unexpectedly, It had changed completely in less than a month. Once again, he was shocked to see so many excellent pets in the yard but at the moment, however, he was not in the mood to care about them. He was in the mood to see the Bamboo and Stone Painting and ambergris.
Into the room, Su Jing first took out Bamboo and Stone Painting. In order to avoid Shen Hong's discernment, Su Jing had already pulled the shaft off the scroll and torn off the surface, so it had nothing to do with the original landscape painting in any way.
Shen Hong and the other two took out their tools and began to examine and discuss them. They were very alert and careful. It had to be said that Shen Hong was still worthy of respect in this state. So Su Jing kept silent and dared not disturb them.
"This Bamboo and Stone Painting is undoubtedly the original work of Zheng Banqiao's. Where did you get it?" Shen Hong made a judgment and then asked curiously.
"This…" Su Jing was overjoyed to hear that it was a genuine work, but it would be hard for him to say that the painting was bought from Shen Hong yesterday and said, "I bought it from an old man in a stall."
"How much did it cost?" Shen Hong asked again.
"More than 10,000." Su Jing can't say that it only costs a thousand, or the price you sold it for.
"You found a leak, a really big leak." Shen Hong looked envious.
"The estimated value of this Bamboo and Stone Painting is more than two million. The auction price is more than one million. To purchase this at a price of 10,000 yuan is really big. I have entered the antique industry for decades and even I only have been that lucky once." The old man with white hair sighed.
"I wasn't that lucky even once." The middle-aged man also sighed.
In the industry of antiques, the leaks not only mean making money but also representing the eyes of the appraisers. Almost everyone is proud of catching mistakes. Some people even deliberately say that they are lowering the price they bought the item for.
"The old man you said, do you know where he is or is he still setting up a stall?" asked the white-haired old man.
"I don't know, I haven't seen him since I bought this painting." Su Jing replied.
"It's a pity." The white-haired old man looked sorry.
"It's a pity that the man sold the Bamboo and Stone Painting worth more than two million yuan. It's really ignorant. If we could get in touch with him, we might be able to pick up big leaks from him." Shen Hong is also sad.
"…" Su Jing didn't know what to say and looked at Shen Hong with strange eyes.
"What about the Ambergris?" asked the white-haired old man.
Su Jing took out the white Ambergris, seeing the Ambergris, their eyes immediately lit up. They began to detect Ambergris. It seemed more troublesome to identify Ambergris than Bamboo and Stone Painting. Su Jing was dazzled by the use of a variety of tools.
"This is absolutely superb!" The white-haired old man exclaimed, the photograph showed Ambergris's white grey mixture, but gently sc.r.a.ped off the grey layer, which was white, and it was clear that the grey layer was just sticky and dirty.
"Is this really Ambergris?" Su Jing's eyes brightened.
"It can't be truer. It's Ambergris, the best quality. It's estimated that it can sell more than one million yuan." Shen Hong said, glancing at Su Jing again, wondering if Su Jing was taken care of by heaven. Red sandalwood roots, Bamboo and Stone Painting, Ambergris, a rural kid like him have too many top-quality things on him.
"Young man, Can you give this Bamboo and Stone Painting, Ambergris and let our Myriad Treasures Auction House auction them?" said the white-haired old man.
"Yeah, I have a red sandalwood root, and I also wanted to give it to the Myriad Treasures Auction House to auction it." Su Jing said.
"Red sandalwood root?" The white-haired old man and the middle-aged man are all stunned. They haven't seen it yet and they are not clear as to what's going on. Su Jing took out the root of the red sandalwood tree, which made the white-haired old man and the middle-aged man shocked again.
"What are you waiting for? Now bring it back to the auction house and go through the formalities." The white-haired old man looked impatient and obviously hoped that the three treasures would be sold from their auction house. As a treasure-keeper, he would also gain more face.
"If you're not in a hurry, I'd like to ask for another favor. These gray, brownstones look like Ambergris, but I'm not sure." Su Jing said, "Looking like it doesn't mean it must be, so it's more rea.s.suring to identify it all."
"You still have Ambergris?" Shen Hong's eyes widened.
"Yes, I still have a sack." Su Jing lifted the bag in the corner, opened it and revealed various Ambergris.
"…" Shen Hong almost fell to the ground. When they came in, they saw the sack. They just didn't pay attention to it at all. It's normal to have a sack of sweet potatoes or something in the countryside. Who could have thought that it was a sack of Ambergris?
Shen Hong was jealous enough to s.n.a.t.c.h it, but he patiently identified it all and found that they were Ambergris. However, the quality of the bag was uneven. Finally, Shen Hong's three men discussed and estimated that the value of the bag was more than three million.
Su Jing can't help smiling. He really made it big.
Su Jing went to Myriad Treasures Auction House with the Red sandalwood root, Bamboo and Stone Painting, Ambergris with Shen Hong and others and signed a contract.
After that, there was nothing Su Jing did. The disadvantage of sending the items to the auction house was that a commission fee would be deducted from the price. The advantages were that he didn't have to do anything. Auctioning behavior was divided into many points, and they would naturally spare no effort to sell the items at a good price without Su Jing's worry.
After returning home, Su Jing first sent a text message to Wu Min, and then sent a picture of the sperm whale to Wu Min's mailbox.
Wu Min is sitting in his office. After receiving Su Jing's text message, he learns that Su Jing sent a picture, but his interest is not high. Although Su Jing's family lives at the seaside, the probability of taking precious marine life pictures is very low. Many people live on the seaside all their lives without seeing rare marine life. However, since Su Jing sent it, he still checked it out with his computer.
Opening the alb.u.m, Wu Min's calm eyes suddenly shrank.
Then, he quickly double-clicks the left b.u.t.ton to enlarge the photo and looked at it again before rubbing his eyes hard, and then he looked at it for nearly ten seconds before finally believing in his eyes and his body trembles slightly with excitement.
In this picture, a sperm whale is biting a squid. It may be considered as a layman. However, Wu Min knows the preciousness of this picture very well. Although the shooting technique is not very clever but as long as it is clear, it will be of great value. This kind of photograph can be taken and it will burst. Often the time is fleeting, and there is no time to consider too many shooting techniques at all.
"What the…" A male colleague just walked by with his coffee in his hand, glanced at Wu Min's computer screen and spouted out his coffee.
"A'Qiang, what the h.e.l.l is wrong with you?" A female colleague who was sprayed with coffee on a table and splashed with a few drops of coffee roared.
"Yes, what is wrong with you?" Wu Min quickly turned off the photo and said calmly.
"Wu Min, did I see the picture just now? It's not photoshopped, is it?" A'Qiang couldn't believe it. How could sperm whales possibly be photographed hunting giant squid in the deep sea? How could it possibly appear on Wu Min's computer?
"You guess." Wu Min was so excited at the moment that he didn't even have the heart to pay attention to A'Qiang. He took his laptop and hid in the toilet.
"A'Qiang, what did you see on Wu Min's computer just now?" A female colleague who had just been sprayed with coffee noticed that Wu Min was somewhat mysterious and curious, and asked A'Qiang.
"A picture of a sperm whale catching squid," A'Qiang said.
"Really?" The female colleague was surprised.
"You must have seen it wrong, Sperm whales hunt squid in the deep sea. They are usually about 800 meters deep, sometimes shallow, but that's at least 300 meters deep. How can they be photographed so easily? On Wu Min's computer, you must have seen a picture of sperm whales biting squid floating on the surface, which has been published for a long time." A male colleague sitting next door said.
"That's really a picture of the capture process. The sperm whale is biting the squid. It hasn't bitten yet." A'Qiang argues.
Many colleagues expressed their disbelief that, as a photographer and editor of Nature magazine, he knows a lot about many creatures and is naturally familiar with the well-known sperm whale. He knows how rare it is for a picture of a sperm whale catching squid. They didn't take it seriously and were busy with other things.
In the toilet, Wu Min turned on his computer and continued to browse Su Jing's alb.u.m. He was shocked to find that this group of photos included the whole process of sperm whales chasing squid, biting squid and swallowing squid. Among them, chasing squid seemed to span a long distance. He really doesn't know how it caught up with it.
Wu Min called Su Jing and said excitedly, "Where did you get these photos from Su Jing?"
Su Jing smiled and said, "I didn't say earlier but my family house is at the seaside and I took the pictures while diving at sea once."
Wu Min gave Su Jing a thumbs-up in the air. He could actually photograph the sperm whale's squid-hunting process by diving. There were so many photographers and researchers who could not take a picture with so much effort and Su Jing actually took a whole set of pictures.
Wu Min couldn't help but ask: "How deep were you diving?"
Su Jing was afraid that there was a loophole in what he said, so he simply said, "I didn't notice how deep it was. Did you see all those pictures? Can you use them?"
Wu Min said excitedly, "We can use it. They are just too useful."
Su Jing laughed and said, "You can use it. Just sign your name by the photographer, but give me the money."
Wu Min said: "The money is of course for you, but can I really publish it in my name? You know, such photos may be collected by various newspapers, magazines, and collectors, which means that the photographers who took them will also become famous. "
Su Jing said: "I am not a photographer, I don't care about this."
Wu Min was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you. I'll invite you to dinner another day."
Wu Min felt a little ashamed. Before that, he did not look at Su Jing's photos. Now Su Jing attributes the right of photo signature to himself. Even if he is silly enough, he knows that Su Jing is taking care of him. The right of photo signature can be said to be of great significance and may be a turning point in his career.
After Wu Min and Su Jing spoke on the phone, he took his computer and went directly to the editor-in-chief's office.
After a while, Wu Min and the editor came out of the office together.
The editor-in-chief's face was full of surprise as he said, "Let me announce that the next issue of marine life column, the theme, and photos have been selected, and congratulate Wu Min on his formal correction from today on. Don't look for him for secretarial work in the future."
A female colleague asked: "Editor, what is the subject of the selection?"
The editor-in-chief laughed and said, "Sperm whale's predation process."
The audience was stunned, and the faces were unbelievable.
Su Jing, the man who shocked the whole nature magazine, is feeding pets leisurely at the moment. Now that he can earn 10 million yuan, it relieves a lot of pressure and now he can do whatever he wants.
"ChipChipChip"
Su Jing was shocked to hear a sudden cry, which was not like the call of any pet he owned, and he could not translate them into words, which meant that the animal did not drip blood on Ten Thousand Beasts Tablet.
Su Jing looked around and saw a red fox standing in the corner. He supposed that it was attracted by the meat of Magical Beast. To Su Jing's surprise, it had three long scars on its body, which seemed to be scratched by sharp paws, and half of his body was red with blood. How did it get here when it was so badly injured? He knows that there were Dogs in the front yard and back yard. Generally, when exotic creatures came in, they are caught by them and then they would take the captured animal to Su Jing.
Moreover, the fox's fur looks so bright and its eyes are so bright and agile that it's almost as if it had evolved from eating Magical Beast meat, but Su Jing is sure he never fed such red fox.
Su Jing stared at the red fox for a while, moved his adoptive mind and threw a small piece of Magical Beast meat towards the fox and as the other pets wanted to grab it, Su Jing stopped them.
The red fox looked at Su Jing warily, then went up, sniffed the meat of Magical Beast, bit it a little bit, then grabbed a small piece of Magical Beast, turned around and ran away, quickly turned over the fence of the gate and disappeared.
Su Jing was stunned. It was the first time that he saw an animal resist the temptation of Magical Beast meat and hold it in his mouth.
Su Jing cooked Magical Beast meat after feeding his pets, exercised spiritual force after eating enough, and slept at 12 p.m. At three or four in the morning, a long-lost bang sound woke up Su Jing.
Su Jing's eyes suddenly opened, his palm slapped on the bedplate as he jumped up and ran quickly to the backyard.
Su Jing ran into the backyard and looked up. As expected, there was a whirlpool in the air and a lot of garbage dumped down.
To Su Jing's astonishment, most of the garbage is stone walls, wooden beams, tiles and so on. It does not look like a garbage heap, but like a ruin, like an entire ruin has been turned over and dumped down here.
This time, there was so much garbage that the whole yard was almost full of it and it reached the height of more than three meters and it is still falling down. Pets all fled and even the man-eating vine in the corner was almost forced to pull up and run away. When the garbage dump reached a height of more than four meters, it finally stopped and the whirlpool disappeared. This time, no sound was heard.
Su Jing thought that the voices sometimes exist and sometimes not. It should be the same principle as garbage sometimes can be poured in smoothly and sometimes vomited back. But this kind of principle cannot be understood by him so he doesn't struggle much in thinking about it.
Su Jing looked around and found that more than 80% of the garbage was stone walls, wooden beams, tiles, in addition to broken stone grinders, broken leather clothes… It's like a ruin from the Stone Age.
Su Jing stepped forward and searched for valuable things while releasing his spiritual force to search the garbage. The spiritual force can pa.s.s through the gaps and even the innermost garbage can be seen by him. Although it is not as intuitive and clear as the naked eye but at least it can search for important things without doing any manual labor.
Su Jing's first search is whether there are dead bodies. First, dead bodies must be dealt with first, whether they are human or wild animals. Second, according to his past experience, dead bodies often mean treasures, although sometimes they are as poor as a street rat. To his disappointment, he did not detect any dead bodies.
"Humm? What is this?"
Su Jing opened the garbage dump and pulled out two curved, white, thick and long objects, which looked like ivory, but they were thicker then thigs and more than three meters long. Even the largest elephant on the earth could not grow such huge and long teeth. Su Jing can almost conclude that this should not be the teeth of an Earth's creatures, of course, he was prepared for it and was not surprised.
"Well, it's a big tripod."
Su Jing's spiritual force detected a tripod, he opened the garbage and turned it over. It's a bronze tripod with three feet and two ears. If it is erected, it should be more than 1.5 meters in height. It has the pattern of birds and animals on it. It's full of antiquity. The wall of the tripod is very thick and has a heavy atmosphere. The tripod legs are branded with Vermilion Bird figures.
"It's so heavy. There should be at least a thousand jin."
Su Jing grabbed the ear and tried to pull the tripod out of the garbage but failed to do so on his first try.
Su Jing took a deep breath, grabbed the tripod with both hands, and made a sudden effort. The tripod was pulled out of the garbage dump and made two deep marks on the ground. Now Su Jing burst out with more than 1,500 Jin of strength, which is almost superhuman.
"This tripod is absolutely precious."
Su Jing erected the tripod and watched it around the stove. The more he looked, the more he liked it.
Such a huge, ancient, elegant and simple bronze tripod, if he sold it, he should be able to sell it at a good price. However, Su Jing certainly won't sell it. The buyer of this item will certainly carbon date it. This appraisal will probably go wrong. After all, this thing is not of earth.
Su Jing continued his search and soon found a tripod cover. He took it and covered it. It was just right. Looking at the color and pattern, it should have been matched.
Then Su Jing turned out various kinds of stone tools, such as stone grinders, stone hammers, stone pots and so on. Most of them were broken, but a few were perfect. Apart from the exquisite shape of stone tools, they all looked like they were from the backward Stone Age.
Su Jing cla.s.sifies the garbage into piles of stone tools, stone walls, tiles, wood, and other debris.
"What is this?"
Su Jing saw several large ma.s.ses of paper that were wrapped tightly.
Su Jing picked it up, took apart layers of paper and finally revealed what was inside. It was some seeds shaped like black flowers, but they had become moldy. He turned over several other pieces of paper and they all contain different kinds of seeds, but they all had different degrees of mold.
"I don't know what kind of seed it is, but can they still grow?" Su Jing didn't know what it was, so he decided to plant it and went to the man-eating vine and said, "Tengteng, Can I plant some more seeds under you."
"Ayaya." The Man-eating vine looks unwilling. Four of the thirteen willows last time were rotten and moldy. They could not grow well. They were involved in the underground as nutrients. The other nine have sprouted and are transplanted into the pot by Su Jing, ready to be planted on the third floor. However, it was not long ago that the willow branches were transplanted and now he wants to plant some seeds under it. The Man-eating vine was naturally reluctant.
"They are just seeds, they won't consume much nutrients. Once they sprout, I will remove them. I will also reward you with a piece of Magical Beast meat, and will soon arrange a new home for you. There will be no more concerns about you being buried by the garbage." Su Jing gave some temptation to the man-eating vine. Now, more and more garbage is being dumped every time and it has become harder for the man-eating vine has a foothold. However, because of its particularity, it can't be seen, so it can't be planted in the front yard and it can only wait for the building to be built to be moved to the third floor.
"Ayaya." The Man-eating vine heard the meat of Magical Beast, and then he cried happily, stretching out the cane to ask for it. Su Jing had to give it a piece and then sprinkled several packages of seeds on the soil near the root of the man-eating vine. Now it will depend on them whether they germinated or not.
"Which is this garbage from?" Su Jing swept through all the rubbish and still couldn't identify the source of the garbage dump. He turns to the big tripod, from which his intuition may have an easier time to get the answers.
"The covered tripod was usually used for cooking or pill refining in ancient times, so let's try it." Su Jing's heart moved, he can not refine pills in it as that is impossible to try so he will cook in it.
Su Jing immediately lifted the tripod and washed it from inside out with, there wasn't any rust on the tripod and it laid Su Jing worries to rest.
Su Jing took a piece of pork from the refrigerator, cut the seasoning, put it into the tripod, poured the right amount of water, covered the lid, and then brought the firewood to make a fire under the tripod.
It didn't take long for Su Jing to smell the meat.
However, in addition to the meat fragrance, Su Jing also smelled a fragrance of medicine, it is a delicate fragrance, refreshing, he carefully sniffed and found that this fragrance was also accompanied by the steam from the tripod stove.
"What's going on? There can't be such a fragrance in pork and spices."
Su Jing was amazed. If the relationship between pork and seasoning is ruled out, then the medicinal fragrance can only come from this tripod, but this is a bronze tripod. How could it emit the fragrance of medicine? It's not scientific!
