Great-grandfather Fang began his days of showing off his great-grandson. Every day, the first thing he would think of when he woke up was how to change his posture and show off without leaving a trace.
Fang Zhao didn't know about all that. Due to Great-grandfather Fang's repeated warnings, the number of people in the Fang family who approached Fang Zhao had decreased.
After rejecting another batch of business collaborations, Fang Zhao settled the matter with Curly Hair and focused all his energy on the music draft. The producers contacted Fang Zhao after seeing the commotion online. Knowing that Fang Zhao's composition was going smoothly, they didn't say much on account of Great-grandfather Mo.
Before Curly Hair had stirred up trouble, the music draft was more or less complete. Now, it was just some follow-up edits.
After completing the music draft, Fang Zhao sent it to the producers. After settling official matters, Fang Zhao looked at his surroundings.
Although most of his attention had been on the music draft, Fang Zhao had also paid some attention to Curly Hair. Homework and exams definitely had to be checked. Fortunately, Curly Hair had become much more well-behaved after the beating. He knew that he had to perform well to get his gaming console and personal terminal back. Recently, he had been using the learning console a lot more.
However, what Fang Zhao didn't know was that Curly Hair's usage of the learning console wasn't all for the sake of reading lessons.
In order to reduce his homework and exams and get his gaming console and personal terminal back, Curly Hair had decided to make up for his mistakes! However, there hadn't been any intruders on the island recently, so he couldn't bite. He couldn't do much in terms of defense, so he could only start from other areas.
Thus, during his rare walk, Curly Hair didn't behave atrociously or tease the underwater animals.
He was searching for treasure.
As an experienced and knowledgeable dog, Curly Hair started searching for valuables at the bottom of the sea. He even specially searched for information related to underwater treasures on the learning console.
His personal terminal had been confiscated, so he couldn't search online. The information the learning console could find was limited. Most of it was research papers and magazine articles.
Curly Hair overheard Fang Zhao and Nanfeng's conversation about building a collection and buying land. Buying land and building a house required a lot of money. Curly Hair wanted to reduce Fang Zhao's burden and prove that even though he ate a lot and caused trouble, he could still earn money!
If Fang Zhao could earn a large sum of money, would he ask for the game console and terminal sealed in the password-protected case in advance?
Curly Hair was so excited at the thought of getting his gaming console and personal terminal back.
On this day, Yan Biao was driving a speedboat and watched the dog swim away after jumping into the sea. There was no indication on the radar, and he couldn't locate it. He was used to it. He turned on the recorder to record today's dog walking work and practiced his marksmanship with his gun. As a bodyguard, he could not slack off for even a moment.
On the island, Zuo Yu was patrolling the island in his patrol car.
As the sun gradually set, Zuo Yu looked at the time. Today, Yan Biao walked the dog a little longer. Usually, it would be back by this time.
Just as he was about to send a message to Yan Biao to ask about it, he noticed that there was something rapidly approaching him underwater. Zuo Yu smiled.
Not long after, Curly Hair shot ashore from the sea and ran into the residential building like the wind. He seemed to be holding something in his mouth, but they couldn't see it clearly.
Yan Biao couldn't catch up with them even though he was driving the speedboat. He was late by more than ten minutes before returning to the island.
"What's going on? Did you get dumped by that dog again? "Zuo Yu asked." Didn't Boss tell him to come back on the speedboat and not swim by himself? "
Yan Biao's mind was also full of questions. "I don't know what he discovered today, but he didn't listen to my commands. He swam back to the island after walking himself. I don't know what he's holding in his mouth."
"He ran off in such a hurry to claim credit with that thing in his mouth?" Zuo Yu guessed.
Inside the house, Curly Hair rushed straight into the building after returning and ran to Fang Zhao with a bowl-shaped object in his mouth.
"This! I found it at the bottom of the sea! "
Fang Zhao's eyebrows jumped up when he saw what Curly Hair was holding in his mouth.
Porcelain!
The Period of Destruction that had lasted for a hundred years had almost completely destroyed porcelain and other fragile cultural relics. Compared to metal objects, porcelain was too fragile. During that period, people were busy trying to survive and didn't even care about gold, silver, and jewelry, let alone porcelain.
According to what Fang Zhao knew, there had indeed been people who had specially hidden porcelain relics during the Period of Destruction, but very few had been preserved.
Technology had developed rapidly in the New Era, and new materials had been produced batch after batch. Everyday utensils were cheap and practical, and porcelain had gradually withdrawn from the market. True ceramic craftsmen could be counted on one hand. However, these craftsmen had been created by hobbyists after the Founding Era based on preserved historical materials. Traditional handicraft techniques from the Old Era and even earlier had already been lost.
New Era ceramics were mostly produced by intelligent machinery. Even more high-end custom-made ceramics were made by craftsmen and belonged to the ceramic arts of the New Era.
Generally speaking, in the current market, ceramics belonged to the minority of the minority. Apart from those who were particularly particular about it, other people basically didn't use porcelain.
Fang Zhao took the porcelain and asked, "Was it fished up from the bottom of the sea?"
"Yes! I found a lot of it at the bottom of the sea! A small boat was buried there! I dug this out. See if it's worth any money! "Curly Hair wagged his tail to claim credit.
Fang Zhao's attention paused on "a small boat" and didn't comment. Then, he thought of something else.
At the beginning of the New Era, there was still a requirement to hand over artifacts from the bottom of the sea. Later on, as attention shifted to outer space, the relevant laws on salvaging artifacts were changed. Now, things from the bottom of the sea belonged to whoever fished them out. However, the attention of merchants gradually shifted outwards, and the bottom of the sea was gradually forgotten. Only those especially dedicated cultural relic collectors still kept their eyes on the bottom of the sea. It was just that the difficulty of detecting and the cost of salvaging artifacts gradually made them give up.
"This thing is too fragile. I only managed to bring one back after biting through a few. I didn't even dare to swim fast." Curly Hair wagged his tail as he continued to boast.
He had already checked on the learning console. This sort of fragile toy was very expensive! The older it was, the more expensive it was!
Fang Zhao rubbed Curly Hair's head and picked up the bowl for a closer look.
There were a few teeth marks and cracks on the bowl from a dog's bite. Curly Hair had been very careful, but he still couldn't avoid these injuries. However, this degree of completeness was already rather rare for Curly Hair.
The bowl was covered in the remains of marine organisms. Fang Zhao went online to search for cleaning methods and did a simple cleaning first.
The sediment on the surface of the porcelain bowl was washed away, revealing the body of the bowl. Although there were some damages, one could still see the elegant beauty of the bowl, as well as that reserved and warm aura that came from the vicissitudes of time.
Fang Zhao didn't know much about porcelain and had no way of determining which period this bowl belonged to. When he had excavated the Poseidonsaur the last time, Fang Zhao had prepared two appraisal instruments on the island. It just so happened that they were put to use now.
Fang Zhao stared blankly for quite a while as he stared at the data displayed on the two appraisal instruments.
"More than 1,600 years …"
This bowl had been made at least 1,600 years ago!
Curly Hair grinned as he stared at the data displayed on the appraisal instruments. He wagged his tail happily.
This piece of trash is more than 1,600 years old!
It should be old enough. Who knows how long it would take to exchange for a game console and terminal?
