Yang Jing has no resistance to these handicrafts full of rich Indian customs. Of course, he also believes that if Ge Ge is also around her, she has jumped up with a smile at this time, and then took out the money in her pocket and bought all these beautiful handicrafts.

Yes, in terms of Greg's character, she will definitely do so.

Similarly, why do two people finally come together? It is undoubtedly a very important reason that two people have the same vision and hobbies.

Therefore, after seeing these exotic handicrafts, Yang Jing stood up and said to the stall owner with great momentum, "please pack all these lovely handicrafts. I want to wrap all your handicrafts!"

Compared with old John's harness, Yang Jing prefers these handicrafts, and it's also a great choice to take them back to her friends as gifts.

The Indian boss didn't seem to understand Yang Jing, or thought Yang Jing was joking, so he hesitated and asked, "excuse me, sir, can you say it again?"

Chris stood up with a smile and said, "you heard right just now. You don't have to doubt that our boss really wants to buy all your handicrafts."

Chris's words finally made the Indian boss understand that the Asian with black hair and yellow skin like himself was not kidding. He was serious.

The Indian boss shouted excitedly at his partner. Of course, he spoke Indian native language, which even Chris couldn't understand. However, judging from the expressions and movements of the surrounding Indian stall owners, they were obviously happy with their partners' deal, so they came to help.

The Indian stall owner's handicrafts totaled about 150 pieces. In addition, there were three pieces of bark cloth, all of which were wrapped up by Yang Jing. It only cost more than 10000 US dollars.

Yang Jing thought that if these pure handicrafts were taken back and given away, it seemed a little insufficient, so he waved with pride, and all the handicrafts in the four Indian stalls nearby were wrapped up by Yang Jing.

There were five Indian stalls in total, and all the handicrafts only cost Yang Jing more than $50000.

This money is nothing to Yang Jing at all, but it is a very large income for these Indians. Therefore, these Indian stall owners are extremely grateful for Yang Jing's generosity.

However, when an old Indian took out a small dark red totem pole, Yang Jing's eyes were a little straight.

Yang Jing knows that the totem pole is the most important item in an Indian tribe. Although the totem pole taken out by the Indian old man is only a miniature, it is also extremely rare.

In fact, the word "totem" originally comes from the transliteration of the word "totem" in the North American Indian aughibwa dialect, which means "his family". For Indians, totem worship is the initial form of primitive religion, which appeared in the late Paleolithic age.

The core of totem worship is to believe that an animal, plant or inanimate is related to his clan and is the ancestor and relative of his clan, so as to worship him as the symbol, symbol and protective god of his clan. Indians are the general name of all native Americans except Eskimos. Their ethnic composition is quite complex and their totems are diverse.

The most important one is the sky Thunderbird. In Indian legend, Thunderbird is the owner of the "sky". It can make itself invisible and appear in the form of strong wind on the Indian winter festival. Usually on the totem pole, Thunderbirds are carved on a strong trunk into two parts. The upper half is a bird with huge wings and a hook like beak, which looks like an eagle; In the lower half, there are four upright people in pairs, with round eyes, bulging drums, big mouth, falling corners of mouth, bare breasts, outward palms and close arms.

Of course, there are more totems besides Thunderbirds.

The totems of North American Indians are mostly animals, followed by plants. A tribe is divided into several different totem clans, and clans with the same totem are regarded as relatives. Clans with the same totem cannot intermarry with each other.

Many clans carved totem images on wooden columns to make "totem columns". Generally, totem columns are about 30 meters high, but some can reach 60 meters high. These totem poles are generally erected in the most striking place of the village as clan marks. Some clans draw totem marks on utensils and houses. The dance ceremony often takes the totem as the center, and the dancers also wear masks and costumes simulating the totem.

Although totem poles are most popular in Indian gathering areas along the Northwest Pacific coast of North America, there are still many such totem poles in other Indian gathering areas in the United States or Canada.

Just like the miniature totem pole taken out by the Indian old man, it should be the totem worship of a local Indian clan. Even if it is only a miniature totem pole, it is also extremely precious.

The totem pole is only about 40 cm high, the mouth of the bowl is thick and thin, and there are four different animals carved on it. However, Yang Jing can't recognize these four more abstract animals.

However, this miniature totem pole is obviously an old object for many years. The dark red material is made of unknown wood, but the weight is extremely heavy. Yang Jing feels that it is not even much lighter than red sandalwood.

Moreover, the foreskin on it is also very thick. It is definitely an old object that has been inherited for many years.

Seeing that the Indian old man smiled with a look of expectation and said some aboriginal languages he didn't understand, Yang Jing was also a little confused.

Just now, the first Indian stall owner immediately translated to Yang Jing: "mazuru said, thank you very much for taking care of us, and mazuru also asked you if you like this totem pole. If you like it, he hopes to sell it to you for 30000 US dollars."

Yang Jing asked suspiciously, "is he willing to sell me this totem pole?"

The Indian stall owner sighed and said: "Our tribe knows that mazurulu's grandfather brought back a Russian who was bitten by a snake from the wild when he was young. It's a pity that the Russian couldn't save it. The totem pole was owned by the Russian and finally obtained by mazurulu's grandfather and has been kept in mazurulu's home. Mazurulu was the only one some time ago One's grandson was arrested for theft and needed a lot of money to bail, so mazurulu had to sell the totem pole. "

After a pause, the Indian stall owner said: "We all know the totem pole of mazululu family in our tribe. The totem pole has a history of at least more than 100 years, and may even be longer. Moreover, the totem pole is carved with 'manzanita' wood. Now this kind of wood is rare in the United States, and logging is prohibited, so this totem pole is more precious."

"Manzanita?" Yang Jing muttered. He only thought the name seemed familiar, so he put the totem pole aside, smiled at the Indian old man and made a wait gesture. Then he took out the phone and called Lin Dan.

After a while, Lin Dan and the fat man trotted over. The fat man panted with his hands on his knees, while Lin Dan was pulled over by Yang Jing.

"I remember you mentioned to me a kind of wood called manzanita."

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"I need details of this wood."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dan shrugged his shoulders and said: "Yes, this manzanita tree is a very precious tree, because it only grows in some places with microclimate in the south. In addition, there are some such trees on the west coast of the United States and in the mountains of Mexico. There are some such trees in Mendocino National Forest Park North of San Francisco, but the number is very small. Some species of this tree are even highly endangered Dangerous species, which are banned from logging in the United States, are protected and precious. "

After a pause, lindane continued: "This kind of tree has the smoothest bark, and its color ranges from orange to red. Moreover, as the tree grows, its branches will grow in all directions, so it looks very unique and distorted. It is precisely because this kind of tree has this very special shape that manzanita's perfect branch shape has been popular in home decoration. Not to mention its trees The trunk and root nodule are the best wood for many carving works of art and car wood works of art. In addition, manzanita is one of the hardest wood species known in the world. Its Janka hardness can reach 2350 pounds, ranking seventh in the world's general furniture wood hardness table. The Janka hardness of your Chinese favorite red sandalwood is only 2940 pounds, and the Janka hardness of dahongsuan wood Only 2260 pounds. "

Hearing Lin Dan's explanation, Yang Jing understood a lot. Needless to say, red sandalwood. If the totem pole in his hand was made of red sandalwood and $30000, it would be a leak, and it was still a big leak, but it would be almost if it was red acid branch.

At present, the best 3A Lao red sour wood on the market is only 200000 a ton.

However, the totem pole in front of us is carved from manzanita wood. This kind of wood is obviously very precious. It may not be as precious as red sandalwood, but it is definitely more expensive than red acid branch.

The totem pole carved from manzanita wood in this section weighs 40 kilograms. If it costs 30000 US dollars, it is indeed a little expensive, but if you add the history of this totem wood, 30000 US dollars is really not expensive.

The most important thing is that this kind of Indian totem pole is really rare. If you buy it and put it at home, it can be regarded as a pretty good decoration.

Thinking of this, Yang Jing, who was touching the totem pole, subconsciously launched the identification skill. As a result, the answer given by the identification skill was that Yang Jing was stunned there
