The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Walking into a huge glass planter, I don't know if it is the well-ventilated Valmar or the local tyrant who may have connected the air conditioner in the "greenhouse". Anyway, Zhang Nan did not feel hot at all. August 1st? Chinese? Wen Net? W? W? W (i.) ? 8? 1? Z ㈧ W?. COM

Davinlar and his wife were also with his father, uncle, and younger brother, plus a manu-jain who was very familiar with this place. When Zhang Nan came in, Manu was chatting with Davinlar’s ​​uncle. .

They speak English, because the two old Valmars would never speak Hindi in their homes, even if they should be able to speak: because Davenlar spoke very slippery.

Both Manu Jain and Zhang Nan can’t understand Malayalam, the local language of Kerala. The host family speaks English that everyone can communicate. For them, speaking English is probably similar. The difference between Yu Zhangnan's Mandarin and dialects is almost the same.

It feels like English afternoon tea. At least the black tea is unchanged for thousands of years. The silver tea set is also used. The tea cup is the old-fashioned British famous brand porcelain tea set that Zhang Nan saw at the British trunk market last year.

The servant brought the three-tiered desserts to the table, with all kinds of desserts and fruits on each layer. It seems that there is a special pastry chef in Valmar's house. In the corner, a servant was in charge of an old-fashioned gramophone, and the vinyl record was spinning, producing light music that was not particularly clear but very charming.

With a slight, almost inaudible hiss, it is more in line with today's Victorian environment.

It was already close to five o'clock in the afternoon. Actually Zhang Nan was thinking about eating dinner at this time: when he arrived in India, he could only eat supper as a supper, and whoever allowed this schedule to make dinner almost had to go until 9 o'clock in the evening.

Well, the three Mr. Varma, Zhang Nan sitting on the backrest of the Indian-style nobleman, which head is facing, is considered to be which Mr. Varma is talking to.

Alice was dragged to chat by Davenlar’s ​​wife. The hostess of the Indian landlord’s house was well educated, and she was generally good at socializing.

Knowing that this East Asian Chinese American is an extraordinary rich man, the Valmar family can't see his woman clearly.

Zhang Nan didn't bother to explain anything. After thanking the host for his hospitality and the extraordinaryness of the manor, he took the engineering plastic box that was not particularly large from Alyosha, who was standing on the side.

On the side, the two maids who had served Zhang Nan also had something in their hands: one of the servants had just followed with an air box, and the other was holding a large, flat, and delicate wooden box.

Zhang Nan put the plastic box on the table and said to the old Valmar: "This visit is relatively hurried, and I didn't prepare any gifts before. I saw that Mr. Valmar has a lot of guns in your house, so I prepared something temporarily. Little gift, I don’t know if Mr. Valmar likes it or not, please forgive me if you offend."

There is no rush to open the box, nor push the box over: first let everyone have a psychological preparation and general guessing, so that if someone violates a taboo, there is room for the scene.

As expected, Old Valmar looked expectant after hearing it, and said: "Mr. Allen, what is in the box is a weapon, a gun?"

Zhang Nan smiled and replied: "Yes, two sets of pistols."

This pushed the box forward.

Of course, what Zhang Nan gave was not antique guns. Those were his own collections, so I couldn't bear it, and I won't bring them this time.

In fact, it is the spare gun in a miniature gun library on my own Gulfstream 4. There are two such boxes and several other long guns.

Besides, antique guns will not be packed in engineering plastic boxes: the packaging is practical if it sounds good, and it is simple if it sounds bad, but the things inside will also be good things that all of India can’t get.

The old man was not polite, buckled the buckle of the box, opened it, and took out two pistols from inside.

A little confused.

"Mr. Allen, what model is this, I haven't seen it all."

Speaking, the old man glanced at the grip, there was no magazine in it.

None of the three Valmars knew the model of this gun. At this time, Jain noticed that one of the bodyguards standing in the corner showed a look of yearning, and he beckoned her over and asked softly: "Lugutai ,you recognize?"

This bodyguard is in his thirties and has a big waist. It is not the former paratrooper who assured Manu Jain that the quality of the American parachute would be reliable if the plane was over.

The big guy is well-informed. He deliberately uses words that everyone can hear, but not very loudly: "Boss, this is Austria’s latest fully automatic pistol Glock 18. So far, it has not been publicly sold in the European and American markets. It is produced in small batches and is only available to special forces."

This big Indian man named Lugutai seemed to be a firearms lover, and he recognized it at a glance.

Some people hate the "plastic pistol" of Glock, but many people like it: it is light, has a large amount of ammunition, and has excellent man-machine functions.

The box given by Zhang Nan didn't look big, but it was actually very heavy. There are not only two guns inside, but also six 17 standard magazines, two 31 long magazines, four boxes of 5o 9mm Parabellum bullets, and even a metal shoulder holder that can be added. .

The old Valmar likes Zhang Nan's small gifts very much. The old man usually has a Browning high-power pistol, which is also used by the elites in the Indian army today (the Indian army uses their own imitation).

However, the old Valmar obviously prefers this kind of fully automatic gadget. Besides, even if the Glock 18 is equipped with a 17 full magazine, it is more powerful and lighter than the Browning with only 13 empty magazines. It is very suitable for older people. .

The other party is very satisfied with the gift to the hostess, so you have to give a copy to the hostess, which is too big.

An air box of China Jiangnan silk is not finished garments or bed sheets, but all kinds of fabrics.

Indian women love to wear sari~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is very popular to send top-quality silk fabrics-what does Zhang Nan's sister do?

There are so many things, not just for making clothes

Haha...I expected to come back to India for a long time. Last time I returned to New York, I brought a large box of silk and prepared it.

Not only the fabric, but the things in the flat wooden box made the Valmar family laugh: a huge "Peacock and Peony Picture" is not a painting, but a brocade woven by "Du Jinsheng" in Hangzhou, Jiangnan Province.

After seeing the extremely subtle craftsmanship on the brocade, the Valmar family added a heartfelt admiration to Manu Jain-fine and extremely fine!

Moreover, these Indians are all knowledgeable. At first glance, they know that this is not a machine-processed thing at all, but a purely hand-made weaving.

It's not just a question of how much money, but ordinary people can't get it at all!

Zhang Nan has quite a few. He asked his little cousin Zhang Zhou to get it through the Hangzhou city government. Using foreign exchange, he went directly to Du Jinsheng’s factory to "rob". He needs this kind of China in his domestic and American houses. Decoration of top ethnic craft products.
