Zhou Shen took off his sunglasses and looked around at this small town with the slowest pace of life in Jiangnan Province.
In fourth-tier cities, housing prices range from more than 8,000 to over 10,000, and the permanent population is about two to three million. The economic strength cannot be compared with Dragon City.
However, the streets and air here are also very clean, and there are commercial plazas and pedestrian streets where people come and go. It is not as backward as imagined.
Behind Zhou Shen, Guan Zhonghua hung his sunglasses on his collar, chewed gum in his mouth, and said:
"Do you have any clues? Tell me carefully!"
Zhou Shen lowered his head and looked at the time on his watch, "Let's eat first, don't be in a hurry, find a place to stay, what are you busy with at noon!"
Guan Zhonghua shrugged. Anyway, he was very busy these days, so he was not in a hurry.
The two came to the ramen restaurant next to the train station. Guan Zhonghua watched Zhou Shen order two bowls of beef noodles and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect Boss Zhou to be so frugal. You can just pay eight yuan for a bowl of beef noodles?"
"Putting dumplings on the bus and getting noodles off is a tradition in our hometown!"
"How come I haven't heard of it?"
Zhou Shen subconsciously wanted to say, isn't this the case in the Northeast, but then he realized what he was doing.
It turns out that I am no longer in that world.
"Ding! The Son of Luck has been detected, and the acquisition of the host's luck value and villain value is suppressed!"
Zhou Shen stood up immediately, turned around and came to the door of the noodle shop!
Xiao Qing!
Why is Xiao Qing here!
But on the street where people were coming and going, Xiao Qing was not seen!
"What's wrong? Why did you stand up suddenly?"
Guan Zhonghua felt very strange. Why did this man suddenly stand up and run to the door while he was talking?
Could it be that I saw someone familiar?
"Do you have friends here?"
"No, it's an illusion. I just saw one, and it looks similar!"
Zhou Shen turned around and walked back. He looked at the status bar carefully and found that the suppressed state had disappeared!
There are only two possibilities. One is that there is a problem with the system, and the other is that Xiao Qing passed by the noodle shop!
"System, is there something wrong with you?"
"Ding! The system is running well!"
It seems that Xiao Qing is really here. How did he find him?
No matter what, you have to move quickly!
…
Xiao Qing was sitting in the co-pilot of the taxi, feeling complicated.
Just over a day after arriving in Fugang City, clues about the Xiao family are still intermittent, leaving people clueless.
During this month, Xiao Qing often went to the black market to inquire about information. He had just learned that information could be purchased on the black market.
An old man at the Antique Pavilion said that he had met the Xiao family in Fugang City. He was said to be the seventh master of the Xiao family, so he spent more than a month finding the information on the black market and pursued him directly.
Unfortunately, so far, there are no clues.
Zhou Licheng's attitude towards this matter was that he hoped Xiao Qing could remain cautious.
After all, these days, the Xiao family in Jiangnan has quite a few enemies, and the first one to bear the brunt is the Xiao family in Guanbei. There are rumors that there are already many spies and eyes of the Xiao family in Guanbei active in Longcheng.
After Xiao Qing learned the news, he felt that he could not stop!
He simply came to Fugang City.
However, it is difficult to get any information with only vague clues. Xiao Qing can only start from the antiques industry!
Members of the Xiao family should be very famous in the antique industry!
So Xiao Qing planned to go to the antique street to see if he could find some clues.
"Young man, you don't look like a local, do you?"
"Yes, I'm here to find someone!"
"Who are you looking for? I know everything about this place in Fugang City!"
Xiao Qing smiled and didn't take it seriously. The taxi driver was more talkative and well-informed, but to say he was a know-it-all would be a bit exaggerated.
"Master, have you heard of the Xiao family in Jiangnan?"
"I do know a few people named Xiao, but most of them are not as good as me. I really don't know the Xiao family, what are their characteristics?"
"They should be quite accomplished in antiques, especially in the field of treasure appraisal!"
Is this a treasure appraisal business?
The driver rubbed the steering wheel and said:
"I do know a little bit about it. I heard that a lot of parallel imports came out of Antique Street in the past few days. Although most of them are fakes, some people have found treasures from this pile of garbage!"
Most of the parallel imports are brought from abroad, and Xiao Qing certainly knows what this term means.
"You're so good at this, but I didn't expect you to know some jargon?"
“When I was young, I took over an antique store and later opened it for rental!”
Xiao Qing nodded, it seemed like this was a clue!
Something is better than nothing, just go and take a look and you will know.
Soon, the car stopped at the Antique Street in Fugang City. This place did not have an elegant name like the Ancient Tree Garden in Longcheng. It was simply called Antique Street.
Although the scenery here is not as good as the ancient tree garden, it has a different flavor. Because it is already October, the weather is much cooler, and many shop owners put their tables outside to have lunch.
The street is full of fireworks and has a human touch.
"Lao Li, let's play chess this afternoon. Let me defeat your army single-handedly!"
"Come on, it's just you, I'll give you a chariot, horse and cannon!"
"Hey, this is what you said, not what I asked for!"
"Look, this shameless old man has started again!"
"Hahaha, Lao Zhao is just a bad chess player, but he still likes to play chess. There's nothing we can do about it!"
Xiao Qing lowered his head and looked at the time. It was lunch time now, but he was already here, and it wouldn't be too late to leave after getting the news.
"Hello, I would like to ask, do you know the connoisseur named Xiao?"
Randomly choosing a store that seemed to be quite large, Xiao Qing asked the clerk at the door directly.
The waiter was a young man wearing a Tang suit. Hearing this, he smiled and said:
"Brother, I really don't know about this matter. You can ask our boss!"
"Then where is your boss?"
At this moment, an old man with gray hair and reading glasses walked in, holding a bamboo fan in his hand.
"What's going on?"
"Boss, this guy wants to find a treasure appraisal expert named Xiao!"
The boss looked at Xiao Qing and said with a smile:
"Young man, do you know anything about antiques?"
Xiao Qing smiled. In the past month, he had thoroughly understood the "Collection of Three Classics" in his hand. Although he could not be said to be confident, he was not a layman either!
"You know a little bit, I'm looking for someone this time just to verify my level!"
The boss smiled and brought the bamboo fan to Xiao Qing and said:
"Then take a look at my fan. What's the point of it?"
Xiao Qing took the fan, looked at it, and said with a smile:
"This bamboo is a product of the Sichuan area. This bamboo should be the best fan bamboo. The lines on it should be made by everyone, and it should be an object five years ago!"
The boss's expression became more serious, and every word Xiao Qing said was correct!
