Everyone sympathized deeply with the Ma brothers and sisters' childhood. In the past, when material resources were scarce, incredible things could happen.
For Ma Jinxuan, her brother Ma Xingping, who has taken care of her since childhood, is no different from her father, and he has even shouldered a heavier burden than his father.
Ma Jinxuan was not worried about the separation of the siblings this time. Fortunately, the concentric lock is still intact, proving that Ma Xingping is still alive.
The closer she got to her destination, the more nervous Ma Jinxuan became.
As the only woman in the team besides Ma Jinxuan, Lin Zitong kept comforting Ma Jinxuan.
Finally, the long wait was over, and everyone finally arrived at their destination—Chang'an Xiaodongmen Antique Market!
Chang'an is a famous historical city and the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. There are countless ancient tombs and cultural relics buried underground. If you dig a hole casually, you may find the grave of a prince, general or minister.
It is said that when Chang'an was building the subway, the busiest people were not the engineering team, but the archaeologists and the Cultural Relics Bureau, because if you just put a hoe down there, you might find a princess tomb.
If it is the tomb of some small landowner, the Cultural Heritage Bureau will not bother to visit it, and let the construction team pack it in woven bags themselves and that's it.
Some people also joked that every household in Chang'an has heirlooms, and if the family is a little bigger, they can open a museum. Some people even write jokes on the Internet, saying that Chang'an people usually trade antiques for noodles.
Although the joke is just a joke, it also shows how rich Chang'an's antiques are.
Precisely because there are so many ancient tombs and countless antiques, there are even more antique streets in Chang'an.
For example, Beiyuan Gate, Academy Gate, Xiangzi Temple Street, Baxian Temple, etc.
But the oldest one is the Xiaodongmen Antique Market where Yan Shouyi and the others were at this time.
It is said that this antique market has a history of several decades. Chang'an locals like to go shopping here when they have nothing to do, and maybe they can find some good treasures.
Just outside the street, Yan Shouyi heard the shouting inside, and the thick Sanqin accent made him very interesting.
Chang'an people say "I" as "uh", "下" as "ha", and "LE" as "lie".
Equal amounts!
Starve to death!
Long Feicheng hadn't even walked a few steps, but he had already mastered this accent.
Looking at the various antiques and toys displayed on the roadside, Long Feicheng couldn't help but feel itchy:
"Brother Yan, if we find some real antiques here, wouldn't we be rich?"
Before Yan Shouyi could answer, Wang Jichang said: "Lao Yan is a descendant of Lu Ban and has an extraordinary eye for the structure and material of objects. If Lao Yan uses his palm eye, he will definitely find the real thing."
Wang Ji used to be a little older than Yan Shou, so instead of calling Yan Shou brother Yan, he called him Lao Yan.
However, what he said did not praise Yan Shouyi. The descendant of Lu Ban was proficient in carpentry skills, and as a carpenter, eyesight is the most basic quality. In addition, Yan Shouyi followed his grandfather and had the influence of relevant knowledge. He
Be sure to pick out the real thing from a pile of junk.
But Yan Shouyi said: "Let's do business first, and when we are free, I will go shopping with you."
"Yes, yes, business is important!" Weng Qianxiang nodded hurriedly.
Ma Jinxuan said: "The people I'm going to visit don't like the excitement, so why don't you just hang around here by yourself, and I'll go over and say hello first."
"Is there such a thing?" Yan Shou agreed without much thought, "Then we are here, you can contact us at any time."
"good."
Ma Jinxuan was also eager to find people. After leaving the group, she quickened her pace and disappeared into the crowd soon.
Long Feicheng, Weng Qianxiang, and Lao Jin rubbed their hands, squinted their eyes, and looked at Yan Shouyi with flattering faces:
"Brother Yan (Lao Yan), can we go shopping now?"
Yan Shou had nothing to do with them, so he could only say: "Okay, I'll go shopping with you."
This small east gate is also a place of outstanding people. Yan Shouyi walked down and found that almost every stall had a few genuine items.
But those stall owners are not fools. Those genuine items are the treasures of the stall. Either they are placed there and not sold. Even if they are sold, the lion will open his mouth and quote a sky-high price, and whoever buys them will be fooled.
.
I visited several stalls in a row, but all the results were like this, which made Long Feicheng, who didn't know why, a little anxious:
"Brother Yan, are they all fakes here?"
"There are genuine goods, but there are more fake ones. Let's not be in a hurry and choose slowly." Yan Shouyi consoled him.
Lao Jin was patient, and said jokingly: "Looking for antiques is like looking for a wife. At first glance, it looks valuable, and I feel happy when I buy it. But when I go back, I find that I have been fooled. If I want to regret it, it is too late, so we can't buy it."
Buying is one thing, just make an order first, and it’s not too late to make a move if the order is right!”
Everyone gave Lao Jin a thumbs up: "After all, you are someone who has been through this before. We admire your profound understanding, Lao Jin!"
Lao Jin laughed proudly, and only Lin Zitong gave them a group of stinky men an annoyed look.
She thought to herself: It would be great if Luo Ning were here!
Now that this group of men are hanging out together, they shouldn't be too arrogant.
Lin Zitong noticed the taciturn Wei Changqing, and thought about letting him teach them a lesson from the perspective of an elder, so he said: "Second uncle, look at them!"
Unexpectedly, Wei Changqing actually said: "What Lao Jin said makes sense."
"..."
Lin Zitong was completely helpless. It seemed that the saying "A man remains a boy until he dies" was true. Even Wei Changqing, who had experienced so much, still had the same bad taste as them in the end.
When shopping for antiques, you have to choose slowly. Yan Shou was afraid that everyone would be bored, so he asked everyone to go shopping separately.
At this time, Weng Qianxiang suddenly proposed a way to play.
Each person took a thousand yuan and spent half an hour looking for treasures that they thought were genuine. After half an hour, everyone came back to Yan Shouyi and asked Yan Shou to appraise it with the palm of his hand to see who had found it.
The baby has the highest value.
This proposal received support from everyone, even Wei Changqing said he would participate.
Yan Shouyi finally figured it out. In fact, Wei Changqing had a strong desire to win. For example, last time in Qiantang, he and Long Feicheng and Han San lost more than 30,000 yuan in a fight with the landlord...
Since everyone has this interest, Yan Shouyi agreed.
Everyone broke up and walked around various stalls, and they were very excited, with the word "eager to try" written all over their faces.
The stall owners noticed their group and lost their previous indifference. They even stood up and introduced them to them.
The stall owner also had a line written on his face:
