Chapter 158 Shen Yiyi's Reason
When Zhang Yang heard President Zheng say that he was going to mass-produce mummies in China, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief for him.

In China, at least there is Skynet watching over him, and there is the criminal law to back him up, so that he will not fall into the moral decline of modern people.

But the root of this matter actually lies with Mr. Huang.

If it weren't for that heartless cousin, Mr. Zheng would still be hugging his girlfriend, living a life of luxury and debauchery in his big mansion.

If you think about it carefully, he is quite miserable.

After hanging up the phone with Mr. Zheng, Zhang Yang hurried back to his room, locked the door, and then opened the system panel.

We have to prepare for the 20 million dollar business.

It is not difficult to make a Tang Sancai tomb guardian beast. You can just borrow a kiln from the next village and fire it.

But he had never been involved in stone carving before, so he had to study it carefully.

[Traditional Chinese Stone Carving Skills] and [Encyclopedia of Tomb Sculpture Knowledge], these two abilities must be unlocked to the master level.

[Aging stone carving technique] might not be very useful this time, so Zhang Yang only clicked on LV2.

The main reason for being so stingy is that the income from this live broadcast is too low.

Two LV4s and one LV2, almost all of the 63000 recognition points were used up, and it felt like it was calculated in advance.

"Unlocking so many porcelain abilities at once seems too hasty now."

Zhang Yang pondered in his mind:
"After this tomb burial is over, I will go to the Qingzhou Porcelain Factory to discuss the affiliation. I have the ability to do it, but I don't need it. Thank you."

"It's hard to find anyone willing to pay for imitation Yuan blue and white porcelain, but Yongzheng famille rose is still worth a look..."

However, these are all plans for the future. Zhang Yang’s top priority is to get the gold coins that Mr. Li dropped.

The matter of selling the mummy was left to Shen Yiyi.

She and Lao Hu together, they wouldn't be cheated, right?

"Brother, just go ahead and rest assured."

Before Zhang Yang left, Shen Yiyi said to him solemnly:

"My current level is totally different from before. If I have to describe it in four words, it would be a complete transformation!"

"How about describing it in six words?" Zhang Yang asked.

“Completely reborn!”

"Okay, now I believe it." Zhang Yang nodded and said.

If it had been in the past, Shen Yiyi would have been restrained for a few seconds when he asked the question just now.

Now it seems that my junior sister has indeed made some progress.

……

After Zhang Yang left, Shen Yiyi moved the mummy out, exposed it to the sun, and took many photos from various angles under natural light.

At first glance, she seemed to be preparing for the business that was coming up.

But after taking the photos, she sent all of them to her mother.

After a while, Ms. Lu, who was deeply shocked, called.

She asked in a weird tone:
"Yiyi, the thing you sent me was made by Zhang Yang himself?"

"Yeah, I just want to ask you if you are awesome or not."

"We'll discuss whether it's amazing or not later. First, tell me, did he complete the entire mummy by himself?"

"I also contributed a little."

"What did you do?" Ms. Lu asked curiously.

"When my senior brother was live streaming, I helped him watch the live streaming room and maintain order. Then I will help him sell his stuff later."

"You've put in so much effort...Yiyi, girls shouldn't be so thick-skinned." Ms. Lu said in a complicated tone.

"I know, Mr. Lu, I was just kidding."

"You should evaluate this thing first, because it may not be there later."

From a personal emotional point of view, Shen Yiyi actually doesn't want to sell this thing.

She felt that this mummy was almost a work of art and could be put on display!
But the reasons given by Zhang Yang are totally irrefutable:
"Junior sister, you don't want the Egyptian students in China to come to your door and fight with you, right?"

So it’s safest to sell it early.

That's why Xiao Shen thought of taking pictures and sending them to his mother, a history teacher, to see the true value of the things.

"You, I can't see it."

Ms. Lu said honestly: "It seems that there is no one in our school who specializes in Egyptian culture. We have to look for one in the two 985 schools in the province."

"Is this considered intangible cultural heritage? Can we apply for funding or something?" Shen Yiyi asked.

“What does this have to do with intangible cultural heritage?”

"Mummification techniques and Egyptian painting, don't these count?"

“Egypt is in Africa…”

“Can’t intangible cultural heritage be the heritage of Africa?”

"Mom, you are too narrow-minded!" Shen Yiyi said with a smirk.

"You mean the intangible cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO, which is of the universal level of humanity? It's what we often call "application for world heritage"."

Ms. Lu explained to her daughter seriously on the other end of the phone:

"Even if Zhang Yang really has this level, he can only change his nationality to Egyptian and then apply again."

"Let me turn you into an Egyptian..."

Thinking of that scene, Shen Yiyi wiped the cold sweat from her head.

It seems that foreign antiques are really useless in China, except for selling them for money.

She curled her lips unhappily and said:

"Well, Mr. Lu, your serious look is really boring."

"Goodbye, I have to go work for my brother."

"wait!"

"What's wrong again?" Shen Yiyi asked impatiently.

"You haven't answered my last question yet. When will you finish learning the art of replicating antique bronze artifacts?"

Ms. Lu sighed on the other end of the phone and asked with a headache.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to a museum to make antique bronze artifacts? I've already asked for you. Mr. Xu from the Provincial Museum is currently recruiting apprentices..."

"Stop, stop, stop, Ms. Lu Feng'e, do you know what you are doing now? You are trying to steal my senior brother's girlfriend."

"My senior brother, that was the benefactor who helped Grandpa escape from the suffering of the National Treasure Gang and arranged a marriage for him and Grandma Xue. Tell me, is what you did humane?"

"It's okay, I will explain it to Zhang Yang." Ms. Lu said calmly.

"You dare! If you dare to bother my senior brother, I will ask grandpa to sever the father-daughter relationship between you and me!" Shen Yiyi said as if she was swearing.

"Why don't you sever your mother-daughter relationship with me?"

"I would never do such a heartless thing. You are my mother."

Shen Yiyi's speaking skills have already acquired some of the true qualities of being flamboyant. Ms. Lu, who has just arrived, is not really used to it.

After thinking for a long time, she finally ended the conversation with a long sigh.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yiyi felt unsafe and called her grandfather to discuss it.

As expected, Grandpa Lu supported her decision.

"Back then, I arranged for your mother to study at the College of Arts, but she insisted on studying archaeology, and even said that she would cut off all ties with me if I didn't allow her to study. Yiyi, you are much better than your mother!"

"Don't worry, I support you."

"I feel relieved when you say this, Grandpa."

While Shen Yiyi was speaking, she looked up at the yard. There were only bronze artifacts here before, but now there are not only pottery figurines, but also mummies.

How can we miss her in this prosperous age?

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the online buyer called and said he had arrived at the antique shop.

Xiao Shen quickly asked Lao Wang to come over and take her over.

After arriving at the store, Shen Yiyi did not rush in. She wanted to observe from the door.

Since she is a student, she must look young. She doesn't accept the words "growing up too fast" or anything like that.

Through the glass, Xiao Shen saw a girl's face that looked somewhat familiar.

She thought about it carefully, looked through the QQ group again, and finally confirmed the other party's identity.

"Isn't this Senior Sister Zhu, who is majoring in International Cultural Heritage Conservation? Is she the buyer?"
