Zhuang Rui put the inamorata from the shoulder down, inamorata is very good, first laboriously climbed to the chair, before with childishly said: “Rascal uncle good New Year, inamorata to you pay tribute to the New Year.” She really kowtowed, but almost fell off the chair.
Liu Chuan does not care about the inamorata mouth shouting is a rogue uncle, at the moment overjoyed, a hand will inamorata in his arms, the other hand from the drawer grabbed a handful of amount of one hundred banknotes to, also did not count, directly stuffed into the inamorata clothes on the small satchel, the mouth is also yelling: “Hey, baby girl, I’ll be in the store of the things you can choose, choose a good uncle to you to send home, but! Nui Nui, why did you climb on the chair to pay New Year’s greetings to uncle?”
Nui Nui will look at the small animals in the store, her eyes are not enough, and said in reply, “Uncle said that Nui Nui will kowtow to Uncle Rascal and get money, Nui Nui will be able to buy Big White Rabbit milk candies if she has money, mommy always doesn’t give Nui Nui to eat them, and Nui Nui is wearing new clothes! If they get dirty on the floor, mommy will scold them.”
“Forget it! You’re nothing but a bastard or an animal in this store, my niece doesn’t want it!”
Zhuang Rui flirted on the sidelines, but Liu Chuan this business is really good, this came in not even five minutes, there are a few pairs of men and women who look like they are in love to buy a few turtles and hamsters, let Zhuang Rui slightly surprised, just a few of these inconspicuous gadgets, actually sold thousands of dollars, and that a pair of golden-colored rats, even sold six hundred dollars, Zhuang Rui can not help but shouting treacherous businessmen in his heart.
“What are your eyes looking around, tell you, Lei Lei and Qin Xuan Bing but a moment to come over to help, hey, that woman although cold a little, but that looks really beautiful ah! You really don’t have a heart?” Liu Chuan put Nui Nui on the ground and greeted the guests while his mouth was not idle.
“Come on! At a glance it’s a big lady, buddy can’t afford to enjoy it, didn’t they say that they left Pengcheng on the fifth day of the lunar month? Right, rascal, you take Nui Nui play will, I go out to turn around ……”
Zhuang Rui said casually, see pestered his niece for a few days finally put the mind elsewhere to go, Zhuang Rui is ready to go to the antique market over there to turn around, as for Qin Xuan Bing, Zhuang Rui know she has nothing good to himself, also lazy to go to the hot face to meet a cold ass.
“I don’t know, Lei Lei called and said that she will leave in a few days, you go to the market! But come back early, I have something to discuss with you.” Liu Chuan waved his hand, signaling Zhuang Rui to go and come back early.
Pengcheng has been one of the nine states in the world since ancient times, it is a place with deep historical and cultural precipitation, especially the Han culture has made a deep imprint on this city, Han Dynasty and even earlier artifacts collections can often be encountered in Xuzhou, which is also a place that Pengcheng people are proud of. Perhaps because of this, the collection has become a lot of fun in the life of Pengcheng people, happy and lost in the middle of the ups and downs.
Zhuang Rui where this place, is the city of Pengcheng collection of the most concentrated, but also the most lively place, almost all the collection of the ancient city enthusiasts Taobao wandering good place, is a chance and traps in the same, happy and lost coexist in the place.
Initially the collection market, the scale is not so big now, when most of the stores are operating in a small park next to it, and then the popularity of the market outside slowly got better, and now only a small part of the stalls and shopkeepers are operating in the adjacent park inside, and it looks like the situation is not too good, so most of the stores inside the change to operate the fish, insects, flowers and birds.
The market has a very large variety of collectibles, it can be said, almost can think of collectibles, here are possible to find, collection enthusiasts as long as pay attention, basically will not return empty-handed. Jade, bronze, coins, wood, porcelain, silver, miscellaneous items, paintings, calligraphy and calligraphy, small people’s books …… types are too many, however, the most Pengcheng characteristics of the collection of artifacts or perhaps the Han Dynasty, like Han mirrors, Han jars, Han pictorial stone topography, and so on, very much by the Pengcheng local and foreign friends like.
There are also many stores in the market, but not many of them specialize in antiques, and some of them do business as teahouses and coffee houses.
And many domestic collectibles market, usually not too many tourists here, mostly some foreign tourists, but on weekends or holidays, it must be another hustle and bustle of the scene, most of the time will be very crowded as it is now, on the one hand, a lot of people have time to come out on weekends and holidays to try their luck to see if they can find a satisfactory collection, on the other hand, a lot of vendors from the neighboring areas Also come to the name of near and far, a newspaper or a piece of flannel also became a counter, the four down to the various kinds of old stuff to a set, and then get a small stool behind a sit, this business even opened.
Although it is still freezing cold, but Zhuang Rui in the crowded crowd to see, is a smiley face overflowing with festivities, carefully observed, the most people in the young men and women, but they are walking around, in a booth before rarely stay on a few minutes to buy most of the artifacts, the price is also ten or eight, cheaper, far from being valuable collectibles! And those who are standing or squatting in the stalls on the side of the stop, often are some middle-aged and elderly people, some hands still holding only the size of the magnifying glass of the coins, in a careful screening, some people in the stalls and the owner of the price, these people should be the collection of the market’s consumption of the main force.
Lively to lively, Zhuang Rui heart but know, to go out or careful for good, Yang Wei his dad is famous, not because of its rich, but because he received a room of fakes and counterfeits, often a circle of people a flicker, say a few on the hands of the origin of the object story, the father of the Yang was blindfolded, these years less said also paid a few million in tuition fees, or did not find the doorway, which is in their circle is also This is also a joke in their circle.
In this world, most of the people who drowned are able to swim, and for this line of antiques, the slaughter is those who seem to understand the antiques, half-baked people, these people tend to buy ten objects inside, there is an old thing, that is even good luck.
Collection of the unspoken rules of the line is true and false, depending on the buyer’s pair of eyes, dialing sand and gold to get the old stuff is not impossible, not paying attention to buy new goods that is more often than not, so that, in fact, is to pick up the leakage to the treasure or to hit the eye out of pocket, the whole in the collector’s idea of the middle of the road, for the general public, the collection, the play of the eyesight, the opportunity to play the heartbeat, but Zhuang Rui feel like they do not seem to be in the Within the ranks.
Zhuang Rui follow the flow of people, slow and leisurely on both sides of the street stalls wandering, he does not want to enter those stores, not only because years ago to a store as a Kai Zi, and Zhuang Rui previously in the chat with Uncle De, also heard him mention, in the antique and collector’s world of this line of work, can open up the store, are generally eating old customers, and three years do not open, open to eat for three years, the store on the shelves on the bright side of the thing, most are modern artifacts, so the store is not a good place to eat, but also a good place to eat, and the store is not a good place to eat. Most of the things on the shelves of the store is a modern crafts, so that the stores, not to mention the real goods will not be placed on the shelves, just those guys take a spittoon said Emperor Qianlong used that mouth, but also people can not eat, Zhuang Rui also lazy to go to the fun.
Zhuang Rui is more interested in those stalls selling paintings and calligraphy, often a squat is half a day, each of which are picked up and carefully viewed, do not know also thought that this is an insider it, look so carefully, but do not know that he has to distinguish one piece at a time, of course, time-consuming, just after more than two hours of shopping, but also looked at more than a dozen stalls, Zhuang Rui froze and did not find out one of the things of value to the heart of the slightest disappointment.
“This big brother, I have some old things, do you want to see?”
See immediately at noon, Zhuang Rui shook his head, some disappointment turned around, ready to go back, cold was pulled by someone’s sleeve.
