Next, check out some pottery. The reason why the pottery is listed in a separate category is because the number of pottery is very large.
This can indicate that pottery occupies a very important part in their lives.
These pottery have different shapes, most of which are living utensils, such as eating bowls, water pots, storage pots, and few ornamental items.
Except for a few of these pottery, which are made very rough, this part may be enshrined by some poor farmers. After all, several pieces of pottery are a large part of their family's property. Most of them are very exquisite and the production is very delicate. Various geometric patterns, animal patterns and figure patterns are engraved on the utensils, which are very aesthetic and artistic.
Among them, Chen Rui can often see the patterns of various ships in these patterns.
This can prove that ships have a very important place in their lives and culture.
Can also imagine. People here often pass the upper and lower reaches of the Holy River by boat, the exchange is very frequent, and the business should also be developed. Commerce is developed, so it is inevitable that handicraft industry is also very developed.
Porcelain has not yet appeared.
Finally there are some sundries, everything. Includes books, wood carvings, stone carvings, fruits, beautiful feathers. Good-looking stones, money, some plant seeds, etc., everything.
Chen Rui put these miscellaneous things aside. Pick up a book.
Books are the best way to learn about a strange civilization.
Books should be very precious here.
After all, in this ignorant and backward slavery city-state, in an era of frequent wars, having knowledge is power, being superior to others, respecting status and respect.
I can tell. The previous owner cherished the book very much, and it was very ornately decorated.
The cover was made of some precious wood, and Chen Rui smelled a faint fragrance from the cover. It smells so good and refreshing.
The cover is trimmed with gold wire, and there are some emeralds, rubies and sapphires on the edges of the cover.

Chen Rui touched the pages with his hands, and the pages were very thin. Knead and have a certain hardness after drying. Smooth, ink-absorbing is very good, the words are written on it, the handwriting is very clear, and the ink is not scattered at all.
It is conceivable that in this era when various papers have not yet appeared, the value of such book pages is certainly high, and the value of a piece of paper may be equivalent to the cost of an ordinary household for one month.
These books may be the city owner of a certain city-state, or a big noble, a big businessman dedicated to Chen Rui as the best gift.

Two horizontal and two vertical, like a ladder of text, like the letter ‘h’ which is not like the capital letter of English.
An oblique cross with a strong stroke is extremely short on the top, and the extremely long text below is like the letter ‘t’ which is not like an English capital letter.
There is also a hook-shaped text like a fish hook, which is the English lowercase letter ‘l.’
Chen Rui took the laptop and turned it on.
Although the computer cannot be connected to the Internet here, Chen Rui has stuffed more than tb of data into the computer's hard disk.
So that, for example, when the laptop computer in the remote mountain valley can't be connected to the Internet in the bottom of the sea, in the mountains and mountains, it can still query the required information.
Soon, Chen Rui found useful information on his laptop.
About the origin of the modern 26 English alphabets.
