The round-up made very small waves and quickly subsided completely, as if nothing had happened.

Most people didn't notice this little episode at all, and still enjoyed the fun of Taobao, and a few children who set up stalls to sell water seemed to shout even more vigorously!

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

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

During this period, Ye Tian still didn't find any antique artworks that made him excited and worthy of his own hands, but he just added some tasks to Bowie!

It was a new stall again, and Ye Tian approached and began to check the goods here.

There are a few decent antiques in the stall, but they are all in the hands of the stall owner and are very valuable.

Next to the two pieces of reddish 19th-century porcelain, there are several pairs of white gloves, reminding people to be careful and to wear the gloves provided by the stall owners.

The rest of the goods are placed from the inside out, according to their value, and the cheapest ones are placed outside, very clearly organized, without any omissions or errors.

Obviously, the stall owner has a very thorough understanding of his goods, and there is no leakage to pick up!

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

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

"Huh!"

Ye Tian sighed lightly, with a little curiosity.

His voice was so low that no one else heard him except Betty beside him.

"What do you see, honey?"

Betty asked in a low voice, a little surprised.

"Nothing, just two pieces of furniture!"

Ye Tian replied with a smile, his expression instantly returning to normal.

His eyes under sunglasses were fixed on the grass not far behind the stall, where a set of desks and chairs in the style of American country was placed.

The first thing that catches your eye is a brown-red desk, about two meters long, about one meter wide, and about 80 centimeters high.

There is also a Duke office chair, which is also brown-red, about 60 centimeters long, about 65 centimeters wide, and about one meter high, which is also very sturdy.

It was supposed to be a set of furniture, all in the same style, in the American country style, and the same wood was used, using the more precious cherry wood.

The craftsmanship is also highly consistent, with the lacquer process that retains the original grain of the wood, the rich aging effect, and the clean and clean lines that illustrate their identity as one place.

Both pieces of furniture emit a dazzling white glow that shows the age in which they were made, two pieces of antique furniture from the mid-twenties of the last century.

Unfortunately, they are not the work of famous artists, only with more than three layers of halo, and their artistic value is limited.

From the location where Ye Tian is located, the two pieces of furniture are well preserved, there is no damage, and the appearance is relatively clean.

Combined with their 100-year or so history, relatively precious wood, not-so-outstanding craftsmanship, and Americans' favorite country style, these two pieces of furniture are worth a little money.

With the current antique furniture market, this set of furniture should be worth twenty or thirty thousand dollars.

But antiques at this price are not enough to attract Ye Tian's attention.

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

In Ye Tian's eyes, most of the desks were radiating dazzling white light, but at the right front table leg, there was a beautiful red!

Apparently, there is something else inside the legs, hiding an antique from the 19th century.

Judging by the intensity of the red light emitted by this hidden antique, it is from the early sixties of the nineteenth century, during the American Civil War.

Although it is a nineteenth-century antique, the red glow is beautiful and charming, but it does not have any halo on its exterior, not even a layer!

That said, this antique has no artistic value!

Who would hide an antique with no artistic value? and wouldn't it be superfluous to go to such great lengths to hide it in the legs of a table?

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

Although his heart was full of doubts, he did not choose to see through immediately, but held back his curiosity, pointed to the two pieces of furniture and asked the stall owner:

"Good afternoon, man, are those two pieces of furniture yours? Can I go over and have a look? It looks like cherry wood furniture, it looks pretty good!"

"That's right, Steven, you have a very sharp eye, and those are two pieces of cherry wood furniture, from the twenties of the last century!

The stall owner nodded, a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

This bastard is really worthy of being a famous professional treasure hunter, and he can see the material of furniture at a glance from a distance of five or six meters, and he really lives up to his name!

"Okay!"

Ye Tian answered, and then took Betty and walked around the stall to the two pieces of furniture.

Jason and Sophie followed, both curious.

It's quintessentially American country-style furniture, and it's not so special that Steven was interested in them?

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

As I saw before, this is a calm and elegant, noble and elegant American desk, suitable for large apartments, or relatively large offices.

It can be seen from this that the original owners of these two pieces of furniture were at least middle-class families, with spacious housing areas and relatively solid family backgrounds.

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

Pulling open the middle drawer, he immediately saw a line of small letters, engraved on the side of the drawer, that read, "Chattanooga, 1925"

At this time, he suddenly realized, no wonder the stall owner knows these two pieces of furniture so well, the roots are here!

The five drawers are in good condition and are not damaged, except for a slight delay in opening and closing, which is a common problem with antique furniture.

After all, it's been a long time since it's been used, and as long as you use it for a while, this situation will go away!

After looking at a few drawers, he looked at the bottom of the table and the legs, and there were a few graffiti works and a few notches of the child at the bottom of the table, and there were no other marks on the rest.

In the process, he took a closer look at the table legs where the antiques were hidden, trying to find some clues!

Of course, the premise is that the hidden antiques are worth selling for themselves, and they are willing to buy these two pieces of furniture.

Soon, he found a small gap between the leg and the body, mostly covered by the lacquered filling, leaving only a finger's width apart.

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

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

You can see through and see what the antiques are inside, whether they are really worthless, just the bad taste of the furniture owner's hidden treasure!

The perspective opens! The sight instantly penetrates the dense cherry wood and sees the secrets hidden inside.

The space taken out of the table leg is not large, about 25 cm deep, 10 cm in diameter, and the upper part is connected with the table body with a special metal screw mouth, which is tightly sealed!

The lower part is connected to the back leg, and if you want to twist this leg, you must first remove the crossbar at the bottom to discover the hidden secret.

It's like double insurance, ensuring that the secrets in the table legs are not easily discovered.

Hidden in the legs is a metal cylinder, about 20 centimeters high and about 8 centimeters in diameter, which is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the legs.

The cork is padded between the two, and there are no gaps, which ensures that the metal cylinder does not shake inside the legs and be noticed.

The metal cylinder is sealed with a screw-top lid that effectively resists termite erosion and protects what is hidden inside.

It's been thought out too much! What kind of treasure is inside? It's worth the effort! Is it another treasure?

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

His gaze did not linger for a moment, he looked directly through the metal cylinder and saw the antiques hidden inside.

Then there are two layers of moisture-proof oiled paper, and then there are antiques that glow red.

It was a very ordinary notebook, the paper was a little yellowed, and there were only a few dozen thin pages, tightly rolled together, and the red light that radiated proved its age.

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

But why hide it so carefully? What is it recorded, and whose notes are it?

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

Immediately afterwards, a few lines of words written on the cover of the notebook were extremely clear in his eyes!

The moment he saw these contents clearly, Ye Tian immediately felt that his heart suddenly began to beat wildly, and it was almost bursting!

This is the national treasure of the United States!
