Under the superior organization, five groups of archaeological teams were mobilized from all over the country and rushed to Los Angeles. Zhu Changping from Peking University and Professor Yu from Qing University also participated. They attach great importance to this archeology and will probably dig out a large tomb.
And as long as one of the large tombs is identified, many large tombs may be announced one after another.
Li Mo didn't get involved, he had more important things to do.
There were two black Porsches in the front, a Rolls-Royce in the middle, and two more Porsches behind. A total of five luxury cars were speeding on the highway.
"Brown Bear, when can we arrive at Yudi?"
"It will be seven or eight o'clock in the evening at the soonest. Boss, do you want to personally participate in the exploration of those five tombs?"
"I will go over and take a look if I have time. Professor Zhu and the others are mainly responsible for the scene. I have more important things to attend to, Xiaojun, how is your investigation going?"
Chen Xiaojun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately replied: "Zhou Jiadong's hometown is near the ancient town of Luocheng. He is not well-known in the local area, but people familiar with the matter know that his financial strength is particularly strong. One-third of the stores in the ancient town The property rights belong to him. There are many scenic spots in the ancient town, one of which is called 'Fei Lu Zhai'. It is said that it is Zhou Jiadong's property. He lives in seclusion there on weekdays, and only a small part of Fei Lu Zhai is open to the public. Partial space.”
"Did he find out anything at home outside?"
"Not so far. Zhou Jiadong is very cautious in doing things. A person with a personality like his will definitely hide the outer room very well. Junior uncle, shall we go into Feiluzhai to check tomorrow?"
"Yes, please check with the local officials before entering to avoid making too much noise later. It is an ancient town after all, and there is a huge flow of tourists every day during this season."
"clear."
The five cars entered Los Angeles at around nine o'clock in the evening and checked into the five-star hotel they had booked in advance. Everyone took a shower before going out. They found a late-night snack stall on a nearby old street and ordered all kinds of delicious food.
"Uncle Junior, I feel that the atmosphere of the human world here seems to be more exciting than the old streets of Kyoto."
"Myths from the ancient Emperor Ku, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia Yu, etc. are mostly passed down here. Emperor Ku's capital was Bo Yi, Xia Taikang moved his capital to Bo, Shang Tang established his capital in Xi Bo; King Wu conquered Zhou, and eight hundred princes gathered in Mengjin; Zhou Gong assisted the government and moved Jiuding to Luoyi. King Ping moved eastward, Gaozu Duluo, Guangwu Zhongxing, Wei and Jin Xiangchan, Xiaowen restructured, the Sui and Tang Dynasties were prosperous, and the Later Liang, Tang and Jin Dynasties followed each other, creating a total of thirteen dynasties."
"Luocheng has been regarded by the ancestors of China as 'among the world' since ancient times. When King Wu of Zhou settled in the country, he 'moved his residence to Chengzhou and settled in China'; after the Han and Wei dynasties, Luocheng gradually became a major capital, and 'tributes from all directions were paid. Daolijun', has made outstanding contributions to national integration and Sino-foreign exchanges and will shine for generations."
"The smoke and fire in the world you are talking about is probably a feeling accumulated by humanity."
Zizzz—
The flames on the barbecue stall not far away were rising, and the aroma of cumin and pepper emitted from the various mutton skewers, which made people feel appetite after seeing and listening to them.
"Brown Bear, let's get another two hundred skewers of mutton and grilled fish. Everyone can drink as much as they want, and then everyone will have a bowl of mutton steamed buns, which are the classic snacks here."
"okay."
While Li Mo stroked the skewers, he looked at the tourists coming and going on the old street. It was only early September and the weather was still very hot. Among the tourists there were many beauties in fashionable clothes. Their every move attracted the attention of many men.
"Brown Bear, you go to the official to go through the formalities tomorrow morning, and we are going to visit Fei Lu Zhai in the afternoon."
"Okay, I've already contacted you about this. Just go and meet the person in charge."
A group of people had full stomachs and chatted until about 10:30 before returning to the hotel.
The breakfast options in Luocheng are really rich. Many of the breakfasts Li Mo had in Kyoto, Shanghai, and Jinling actually came from Yu. When you arrive in Los Angeles, it’s easy to get authentic and authentic food.
But here there are more soups, such as beef soup, meatball soup, donkey meat soup, pot stickers and so on.
Early in the morning, Li Mo ordered several things, and occupied a table with Chen Xiaojun, slowly eating pot stickers and drinking beef soup.
"Sir, can I sit here?"
A short-haired woman in her twenties was standing next to her with a bowl of beef soup and two pancakes. Li Mo looked up and motioned for her to sit wherever she pleased. It's the morning rush hour at work, and there are too many people coming out to have breakfast. This snack bar on the roadside must be an old one, and its business is very good. Even the eight tables outside are full of diners.
The woman was quite beautiful, but she was too anxious to eat. The soup was still steaming hot, so she took a big bite of the cake, and then tried to drink the soup, while constantly breathing.
Li Mo's eyes fell on her right wrist, which was a green jade bracelet.
"Beauty, I'd like to ask, where did you buy this bracelet?"
"It was a gift from my blind date. I don't know where he bought it. What's wrong?"
Li Mo was eating a pot sticker and reminded her: "The green color in your bracelet is injected through chemical means. Wearing it for a long time is not good for your health. The chemicals inside will penetrate into the blood through the skin. It’s a good idea to ask someone, don’t spend a lot of money and buy a defective product.”
"ah."
The woman immediately raised her head and took a closer look at her right wrist, but she couldn't see the difference. Just out of courtesy, give Li Mo a smile.
Li Mo wiped his mouth and left the breakfast shop.
"Uncle Junior, where are we going?"
"When you arrive in Luo City, of course you have to go shopping in the antique street first. Even that guy Wenjun was able to find a dragonfly eye necklace from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period here. It's a pity to miss such a good opportunity."
The scale of the antique streets in Los Angeles is naturally not comparable to that in Kyoto, but there are still quite a lot of tourists who come here early in the morning, many of whom come in groups through travel agencies.
In addition to the normal old street shops, there are also stalls placed in an orderly manner in some officially recognized outdoor open spaces. The items on them are all similar. Compared with the antique markets in the north, there are many more bronzes here. Of course It must be a fake.
It's just that the old work is quite good. There's a lot of dirt on the surface and it's covered in green rust. It looks like it was dug out of a big tomb.
Li Mo shook his head slightly as he walked.
"These bronzes are fake at first glance. The bosses don't know what they think. They move them here and there every day without fear of getting tired."
Chen Xiaojun followed Li Mo, sometimes squatting down to look at the goods on the stall. Other security guards were scattered around, keeping an eye on the two of them.
"People just want to make a living. As for how they live, they must have their own way. Don't worry about that. Let's go into that shop and take a look."
Li Mo first walked into an antique store. The store was quite large, estimated to be more than two hundred square meters, and it was divided into upstairs and downstairs.
The decoration on the first floor is relatively simple, but the areas are clearly divided. There are porcelain, four treasures of the study, sculptures, calligraphy and paintings. Of course, there are also various gold and silver ornaments and jade carvings placed on the surrounding counters. This is considered a unique feature in a Chinese antique store. The big feature is that channels that can increase additional revenue must be well utilized.
"welcome."
A young man wearing black work clothes walked up to him.
"I'll just take a look."
At a glance, Li Mo saw a woman standing next to the counter. Next to him, an old man in his sixties was wearing reading glasses to help her study the floating jade bracelet.
"Grandpa, is this bracelet really a defective product?"
"The crystal particles in jadeite are thick, and the floating green inside is also produced by chemical means. If you look closely, these floating flowers are actually not evenly distributed and not natural enough. You are just careless. If you had come to find grandpa earlier, this How can a shoddy little trick work? Jingjing, if your blind date is also deceived, then that’s it. If he does it intentionally, then this person’s character is not that good. "
"This bracelet was also given to me when we met for the second time, because I don't hate him either. I plan to find a free time to choose a gift from my grandpa and give it back to him."
"Don't wear this bracelet anymore." The old man put it in a box. "Why did you suddenly become suspicious of this and come here to verify it without even going to work?"
"When I was having breakfast on the roadside, a handsome guy at the same table glanced at me and reminded me."
"It seems that there is still an expert. Okay, just stay here and help me stand up the shop in the morning. This shop will still be passed on to you in the future. There are customers over there, go and greet them."
The woman looked back and was surprised: "Grandpa, it was that handsome guy who reminded me."
Li Mo made eye contact with her, nodded slightly to her, and then walked to the porcelain area, where different styles of porcelain were placed on the ancient shelves.
"Hello sir, thank you for reminding me before."
"a piece of cake."
The woman then took a closer look at his face. She felt as if she had seen him before somewhere, but she didn't think much about it. After all, she felt that there were too many familiar people.
"I can show you whatever you like."
"That porcelain."
Li Mo pointed to a red-glazed plum vase on the ancient shelf.
In ancient times, there was a saying that if you want to burn money, just burn Jihong glaze porcelain. No matter how much money you have, it can be seen that it is quite difficult to make truly high-quality Jihong glaze. Li Mo took a quick look and saw that the Ji-red glazed plum bottle glaze on the antique shelf had changed color quite nicely. This antique store also followed the route of high-quality imitations when selecting porcelain.
The woman put the red-glazed plum vase on the counter. Li Mo picked it up and looked at it. The craftsmanship was good, but Li Mo was a little surprised by the inscription on the bottom of the bottle. There were two inscriptions. One was 'Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty'. It is blue and white regular script.
Another inscription is "Guyunxuan", which uses Zhongshan seal script.
In other words, this Ji-red glazed plum vase was selected from Gu Yunxuan and then displayed here for sale.
"Sir, although this plum vase is a high imitation, its origin is not simple. It is a fine product specially selected by my grandfather from the Gu Yunxuan antique shop in the Imperial Temple of the Demon City. It has the inscription 'Gu Yunxuan' on the base, so You can absolutely rest assured when it comes to the details of the porcelain.”
"And this porcelain can increase in value after you buy it and put it at home."
Li Mo glanced at her and asked in surprise: "What do you mean by value-added?"
"Just based on the word Gu Yunxuan, wouldn't it be considered a real antique if it has been collected for a hundred years?"
That makes so much sense!
