As soon as the bearded man saw this, he knew that he had met an expert, and he was still a anxious connoisseur - he ignored the sergeant's knife, it was worthless, and it was of little use. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This expert's action is to prevent someone from coming to the sideways preparation, if the thing is good, nine times out of ten it will be bought.

Of course, if the blade in the scabbard is not good, and it is not eye-catching, they will return it to you immediately - so even if you are an anxious connoisseur, the bearded man will plan to open the price a little higher.

Although the dress of this man and woman can't see anything, the temperament and appearance of the two are first-class, so it is estimated that they will not be the main ones who are short of money when they are paired to wander around the flea market.

This thing is not cheap, and it is not easy to sell in the circle of mixed military products, and it is not easy to have a rich buyer.

The bearded man observed Zhang Nan, and he took out the captain's knife and looked at it for a long time, and finally his expression was very satisfied!

"The original owner is very well preserved, and I bought it at a small auction in Texas. ”

Uncle America sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and such good things are not common in New York street stalls, and people who come here generally do not buy such expensive things -- there are also people who shop for treasures everywhere in the United States, and military enthusiasts in particular often run street stalls and small auctions all over the United States.

In fact, the auction that the bearded man is talking about may actually be a small auction in a small town with thousands of people, which is extremely casual.

It's more like a rural market.

Hearing the bearded man's words, Zhang Nan nodded, but did not reply, but handed the lieutenant knife to Nicole and took another long knife.

"RB ancient katana, the state of preservation is average, but the blade is still very sharp!"

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Nan put the knife away.

"Well, it's been a few years, how much is the total of the two?"

A minute later, the two sides were trading for $3,000, which was a big deal at the Brooklyn flea market — $2,500 for the Captain's Knife, which was a purely handmade saber.

The other "katana", although in a mediocre state of preservation, has mottled and ugly handles and scabbards, and the leather that wraps the scabbard has worn a large section, revealing a core composed of two pieces of wood.

The blade is also a bit dull, with three small notches on the blade, but it is older and sold for $500.

The disagreement between Zhang Nan and the bearded uncle just now was on the captain's knife, but after a counteroffer from $3,000 to $2,500, this was also sold.

The deal is done, and leave immediately.

When Nicole's Ford sedan was seated in the parking lot, Zhang Nan casually threw the captain's knife into the back seat!

"Don't drive, let me sit down!"

Nicole felt very strange, and when she turned her head, she found that Zhang Nan was holding the straight long knife, her whole body was trembling slightly, and her upper body was tense!

That's when the brain can't control the body, and the whole body trembles unconsciously!

"Mr. Allen, are you alright? Don't scare me, do you want to call 911?!......"

Zhang Nan can't control his body at all now!

That's excitement!

That's ecstasy!

It was hysterical ecstasy and pride!

The pride of being a Chinese person!

"I'm fine!

Suddenly, Zhang Nan opened the car door and rushed to the other end of the parking lot!

There's the Hudson River!

Nicole also hurriedly got out of the car, and Mr. Allen acted like crazy!

Zhang Nan didn't go crazy, he felt that he was about to explode with excitement, and he couldn't control it!

Standing on the edge of the parking lot, facing the Hudson River, Zhang Nan suddenly drew his knife and held it high in front of him, shouting there with all his might: "Datang, Datang, Datang, Datang......"

The voice didn't stop, and the bruises on the exposed arm burst out!

This is a real Tang knife!

Tang horizontal knife made by Datang!

The knife body is engraved with "Shaofu Supervisor"!

Nicole didn't dare to approach Zhang Nan at all, and watched him standing by the river from a distance and shouting the same word hysterically!

She could understand part of the word, which was "Tang," and there were many people in New York who understood the meaning of that character.

That's a hysterical outlet!

It wasn't until his voice was hoarse and his body was paralyzed that Zhang Nan stopped standing straight, carefully put the knife into the sheath, and finally sat on the edge of the cement.

Although he didn't do other strenuous exercises in the past few minutes, he had already vented most of the energy in his body!

Nicole stepped forward cautiously, looked at Zhang Nan, who seemed to be out of strength, and said, "Mr. Allen, are you okay?"

Zhang Nan raised his head.

Nicole was shocked!

His eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of tearful marks.

"It's okay, thank you, Nicole. ”

Zhang Nan's voice was hoarse, so light that he couldn't hear it.

In the few minutes just now, tears were flowing down unconsciously!

Nicole quickly took out a tissue from her bag and helped him wipe away the tears on his face.

Zhang Nan still held the horizontal knife in his hand tightly with both hands, and smiled, "Really, Nicole, thank you!"

"What happened to you?"

Zhang Nan held up the horizontal knife in his hand, "It may be difficult for you to understand what he means to a Chinese person. He represents the most glorious era and a brilliant era in China!

At that time, China was the center of the world and was admired by all nations! The economy and culture were highly developed, and the military strength was invincible in the world!

Do you know that some scholars say that at that time, the gross national product of Datang accounted for 97% of the world's GDP at that time.

At that time, the largest city in the West had a population of only a few tens of thousands, and Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty at that time, had a permanent population of more than one million! There were more than 30,000 foreign merchants, envoys, overseas students, and overseas monks, and there were as many as 300 countries and regions that went to Chang'an to communicate with the Tang Dynasty at that time!

A real capital of the world!"

Saying that, Zhang Nan looked up at the sky, "It was a great era, a glorious era!"

"I know it was more than a thousand years ago, aren't there any antiques from that time?"

Zhang Nan smiled: "There are a lot, but in addition to the archaeological excavations, this kind of horizontal knife carried by the Tang Dynasty warriors, now the whole of China can't find one!"

And what was dug out of the ground was made into iron bars.

"And this is the only one in the world?"

"No, there are a few that have been preserved in RB, and now they have become their national treasures. ”

"Looted during World War II?"

"No, the RB was brought by the international students and envoys who went to study in the Tang Dynasty during the Tang Dynasty.

In the history of China, there will be a major disaster every two or three hundred years, although our culture has been tenaciously passed down, but many things have been lost and tampered with, including this Tang horizontal knife. ”

"At that time, the Tang Iron Cavalry will be able to go on an expedition of thousands of miles, you are a woman, can you understand what he means to us?"

Nicole didn't speak, but nodded.

He, he, it, it, Nicole could tell.

"Mr. Allen, this is a weapon for a warrior!

Although she can't fully understand the meaning of this knife to Mr. Alan and the Huaxia people, Nicole knows that he must be very, very important!
