If you can collect something, it would be perfect.

Jin Muchen held a drink and wandered around the market while thinking about it.

Although this market is not large in scale and is not the cleanest compared to the market he has been to before, it is the most down-to-earth one.

The crowds of people, bustling hawking, and the aroma of food mixed in the air, coupled with the blue sky, white clouds and warm sunshine here, made him feel that the market was so beautiful.

It reminded him even more of the taste when he went to the market in his hometown with his grandfather when he was a child. However, the people here were not the yellow-skinned and dark-haired comrades in their impression, but the hodgepodge of all kinds of people. He didn't know why, but in such a market, he suddenly had a taste of home.

But so far, the only drawback is that he has visited half of the market and has nothing to attract his attention.

Although there are a lot of things sold here, at least more than 100 stores sell ordinary second-hand goods, and some bold people are selling animals smuggled in from Central and South America.

Jin Muchen was not very interested in those strange pets, and although Jin Muchen was amazed by the small cultural relics and antiques with a wide range of styles in Central and South America, ∝▼Feng∝▼Wen∝▼Wen∝▼Wen∝▼Inscription∝▼Inscription∝▼Inscription∝▼Inscription∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument∝▼Instrument�

The stone axes or blowing arrows used by the jungle savages look very shocking, but if you look closely, it still looks too rough.

Although they are all real people. For example, on some axes, you can still see the deteriorated and blackened ones. I don’t know if it’s humans or animals’ blood. But when you think about it, if you put this thing in your home, Jin Muchen felt chill all over.

Forget it, he really can't appreciate the beauty of these things.

As for the handicrafts of the native people of Central and South America, in his opinion, they were not as good as bamboo products made by ordinary Chinese bamboo craftsmen.

In the eyes of many American tourists, those thatched grass loaves may be sold to the home and placed as decorations at home, which is quite stylish, but in his opinion, he is more willing to buy a few exquisitely crafted Chinese bamboo baskets.

He liked the atmosphere here very much. But the things sold here are a bit difficult to attract his attention.

I was just halfway through. I felt a little disappointed and planned to walk around in a hurry. Then when I was back to the hotel, suddenly a guy's stall in the distance made Jin Muchen's eyes lit up.

Because his eyes were swept across the stall, they were shook by a few black "stones" on the stall. Could it be that there were some treasures to be developed?

Jin Muchen hurriedly walked over quickly. The stall owner looked very friendly.

This guy has dark skin, but when he looks at his face, he has full East Asian characteristics. If he hadn't his skin was a little too dark, this guy would definitely be an Asian with a strong East Asian flavor.

The man was stunned when he saw Jin Muchen who was walking forward quickly, and immediately changed into a welcome expression on his face.

"Welcome to my friends. What do you like? Just look at it. My store is the only store in Little Havana that sells East Asian antique products. It is very unique!"

This guy really didn't brag, because Jin Muchen saw that the things on his stall were indeed some Asian-flavored treasures.

However, most things look very Asian, such as stacks of second-hand Japanese comic books, folding fans with Japanese characters, and some wine utensils full of Japanese style. It turns out that this stall is actually a second-hand stall that sells Japanese style.

Jin Muchen stood in front of this stall, glanced at the stall roughly, and then focused his energy on several black and brown "stones" in a corner of the stall.

These stones have different carvings, but they have one common feature, that is, their shapes are all flat and flat, and there are carved patterns on the corners of the stone, which looks like they are carved with obvious Chinese style.

If a foreigner who is not aware of his profession, he may be confused when he sees such a stone, but as a Chinese, you can see that these things are the inkstones, one of the four treasures of the study that are popular among the eunuch literati and poets in China.

Jin Muchen nodded to the boss of the stall, and the boss actually bowed to him at this time: "Defend you Chihua!"

Jin Muchen frowned when he heard this, saying, is this guy a Japanese? Or a Japanese?

However, he did not show his dislike too much. He just smiled and said in English to the stall owner: "I'm not a Japanese?"

The stall owner was also stunned, and then his face immediately changed to a smile: "Haha, did I say it? In my impression, few Japanese people are so tall. Hello, my name is Tanaka."

As soon as I heard this name, I knew that this guy was Japanese. Although this guy was not tall, this guy wouldn't feel embarrassed at all when he teased the Japanese's height.

As soon as he saw his attitude, Jin Muchen knew that this guy should be the kind of old immigrant descendant who had immigrated to the United States for at least two or three generations.

Moreover, judging from his skin color and his strong figure, he should be the kind of Japanese who has been in a lot of foreign blood. No wonder he feels so indifferent to Japan.

Jin Muchen casually introduced himself: "Hello Tanaka, my name is Jim."

Tanaka smiled and nodded to him: "What do you like, choose whatever you like."

Jin Muchen didn't talk nonsense, but directly picked up the inkstones and carefully looked at them in his hand, and started rubbing them.

Before, it was the dark brown light emitted by these inkstones that attracted him, so he judged that these inkstones were definitely not ordinary.

He and Fang Bo have been learning about Chinese antiques for a while, and there are quite a few Chinese antiques he has learned, but he has really confiscated several of these famous inkstones among these Chinese antiques.

Fang Bo has several collections, but they are just some ordinary products of a relatively old age. Fang Bo does not have those famous inkstones in Chinese history.

After all, this kind of four treasures of study is a rare favorite for Chinese literati, but in the eyes of foreigners, it is just some useless stones, so not many people collect this thing abroad. In the Western Chinese antique circle, this thing is considered an unpopular.

Only some overseas immigrants from China prefer to collect this thing.

Jin Muchen picked up a darker inkstone and carefully observed it in his hand. The inkstone was not very heavy, and it was bumped into his hands, and it even felt a little floating, which shows that the stone of the inkstone was not very close.

If it were other carvings, this texture alone would not be up to standard, but for the inkstone, this texture is just right.

However, although the stone of this inkstone is not very tight, you can feel that the inkstone is still very solid when you touch it, not the kind of low-quality inkstone with a weak hair.

When I reached out to touch the grinder of the inkstone, the stone was even more delicate and soft. I had a whole piece of grinder, and there was no pit at all. This alone could be concluded that this was a top-quality inkstone.

Because there is a very important way to distinguish between top-quality inkstones and crude inkstones, that is, look at the millstone.

In ancient times, the method of using inkstones was to put the ink blocks on the grinder of the inkstone and add water, and constantly grind them. This could melt the ink blocks and produce ink. The ink emitted is a good inkstone.

In order to achieve such an effect, when choosing stones, workers who make inkstones often choose stones with relatively loose textures to make inkstones.

Because such stones have a not tight internal texture, the gaps between mineral molecules or holes are large, and it is easy to penetrate into air and moisture. In this way, when grinding ink, it can quickly generate ink and emit thick black and delicate ink.

This is also the main reason why the most good inkstones are not particularly heavy in weight.

It is precisely because it can be used as a stone for inkstones that the mineral molecules in the middle are generally not tightly bound and have many pores, so many inferior inkstones can see obvious trachoma or tiny potholes in the middle after grinding.

And a top-quality inkstone will not have such characteristics, which is also the most basic way to judge whether an inkstone is of high quality.

As soon as he started this inkstone, Jin Muchen could feel that the stone quality of this inkstone was very good, and it was even more amazing when he looked at the millstone.

It is smooth and delicate, and there is no trace of trachoma or pothole. This shows that the inkstone in your hand should not be an ordinary product.

After reaching out and gently rubbing the grinding plate of the inkstone, you can feel a smoothness and delicateness that you cannot feel on other stone carvings, and it is not as cold as other stone carvings.

Thinking of these characteristics, Jin Muchen couldn't help but be stunned. Could this be the famous inkstone that has been famous all over the world?

When Jin Muchen thought of this, he stopped hesitating. He stretched out his palm and pressed his palm in the middle of the inkstone millstone. He held it hard for about a few seconds, and then took the palm away.

I took the inkstone in front of me, faced the sunlight, and looked at the center of the millstone. I saw that in the middle of the millstone, the originally dark area flashed with a fleeting blue.

The azure blue color slowly decayed against the sunlight, and finally turned into a strange dark green...
