?Meining at night is like a fashionable beauty with heavy makeup, dazzling and shining. At this moment, the pedestrian street is crowded with people, and the colorful neon lights on both sides of the street make the whole street radiant and full of energy.

The brightly lit large shopping malls gather countless tourists here. On this ancient and modern old street, local specialty snacks are as popular as those luxurious jewelry and clothes.
Although sometimes there is not much difference between the so-called famous brands and the clothes on the street stalls, as long as a brand is hung here or sold, it becomes a luxury product in people's eyes.
However, Zhang Yang did not take Yang Fei to buy things in those fashionable clothing stores, but took Yang Fei to the old alley behind the colorful main street.
Came to the old street.
"What are you doing here?" Compared to the bustling Zhongshan Road outside, the old street seems much cooler. Apart from the dark hotels and barbecue stalls that appear from time to time on both sides, there are only a few tourists who are interested in walking on the street.
stroll.
Enjoy this rare quiet space.
Of course, there are many stores on both sides of the old street, but they all sell more traditional snacks and some souvenirs. Even if there are clothing stores, they all have very tacky styles.
"We'll find out later." Zhang Yang took her hand and led her through Yuetian Cinema, then through a small alley, and finally stopped in front of a hotel with half of the neon sign broken off.
Yang Fei's slender legs couldn't help but tighten slightly, and the hand that was shrunk in Zhang Yang's palm unconsciously tightened his hand. This guy, couldn't have brought her here to open a room, right?
"We're here!" Zhang Yang said happily.
"Are you here to buy gifts?" Yang Fei stared at Zhang Yang hesitantly and asked.
"Of course, what else would you do?" Zhang Yang looked at it and asked strangely.
"This is a hotel, you won't tell me what gifts to buy at the hotel, right?" Yang Fei squeezed Zhang Yang's palm again and said.
Although she pinched him, Zhang Yang didn't feel any pain at all. On the contrary, a sweet taste lingered in his heart. Holding Yang Fei's hand, it felt so good.
"Just follow me and you'll find out." Zhang Yang took her hand and walked directly into the hotel and walked through it. Then Yang Fei discovered that there was actually an alley behind the hotel's door.
After passing through the alley, there is another old street. However, this old street has a little more people.
She also knows this street, which is the Mening Zhongshan Road Antique Market. Of course, most of them have been moved to other places now, and this place has become history. Even if there are things on display, 70 to 80%
They are all fakes, and they can deceive those who are ignorant or tourists who are willing to be taken advantage of.
"You weren't going to tell me that you were going to buy him an antique, were you?" Yang Fei asked in surprise.
"You guessed it." Zhang Yang looked at her with a smile and said. As Zhang Yang spoke, he walked towards a shop that didn't look very conspicuous.
Yang Fei took a look and found that it was an old store selling antique clocks, watches, some badges, coins and other things. The owner was a white-haired old man wearing reading glasses, and he was reading a newspaper behind the counter.
There were no customers in the store, and the arrangement of things was quite messy. It didn't look like an authentic antique store that bought and sold antiques.
It wasn't until Zhang Yang took Yang Fei's hand and walked up to him that the old man blinked his eyelids, glanced at the two of them, and then lowered his head to read his newspaper.
"Lao Luo..." Zhang Yang shouted.
After hearing this, the old man finally raised his head, took a careful look at Zhang Yang, and then laughed and cursed: "Oh, it's you, kid. I haven't seen him for a long time..."
Before the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Fei who was standing aside. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "You...you are amazing. You have found such a beautiful girlfriend. I wonder why you haven't seen her for such a long time."
"How is it? Pretty, isn't she? Is she prettier than your wife?" Zhang Yang took Yang Fei's hand as if to show off and waved it in front of the old man.
Yang Fei's pretty face was a little shy, but she didn't break away from Zhang Yang's hand and just stepped on him twice quietly.
The old man adjusted the frame of the mirror. He looked at Yang Fei carefully, then pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Almost beautiful, almost!"
Zhang Yang smiled and explained to Yang Fei: "This is Lao Luo. I used to do odd jobs here. Well, I just helped him sell the copper coins he bought at low prices..."
The old man didn't wait for Zhang Yang to finish speaking, and hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt him: "Cough...cough, that stinky boy, you don't want to pick up the pot, okay... It's so late, you deliberately brought your girlfriend to meet me
Showing off?"
"Of course not, I came to buy something from you." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"Buying something? Haha, brat, you go to those big shopping malls to buy things for your girlfriend. What can you buy when you come to me? You...it's not like you don't know the market." The old man blinked his little eyes, very shrewd.
said.
"There are some things that you can't buy outside." Zhang Yang looked at the old man and said with a smile.
"Oh? Which item in the store have you fallen in love with?" The old man couldn't help but become curious, "It seems that since you are an acquaintance, I will give you a 20% discount."
"The treasure of the store." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"That's such a big statement. Did you win the lottery?" The old man obviously didn't know that Zhang Yang's identity had undergone earth-shaking changes, and he didn't connect Zhang Yang with the photos that appeared on the Internet. Oh, of course, he didn't know either.
He was using a computer, so there was a suspicious look in his eyes.
"That's right, but you can also say that my girlfriend is very rich." Zhang Yang looked at Yang Fei beside him and said deliberately, "I am just a pretty boy."
"Haha, who are you kidding? Such a beautiful girl, why does she need a pretty face like you?" The old man said, but he looked at Yang Fei next to Zhang Yang who was wearing a brand name and the white necklace on her neck that was absolutely worth a lot of money.
Pink diamond necklace, you know that even if Zhang Yang’s statement is untrue, it is absolutely true that his girlfriend is rich.
"Lao Luo, I won't talk to you anymore. Hurry up and take out your good things."
"You kid, do you really want that thing? That thing is very valuable." The old man obviously still didn't believe it.
"Money is not an issue." Zhang Yang smiled and took out his gold card, "Don't you have a POS machine here? Or if you don't believe it, you can go directly to the ATM machine outside to check."
"You boy, you are promising. Okay. Wait, I will get it for you." The old man stood up and walked slowly to the inner room. After struggling for a while, he brought out an antique seated Buddha statue.
"Ancient Jade Buddha from the Wuchang period of the Tang Dynasty..." Lao Luo walked out carefully holding an emerald-green jade Buddha statue in a transparent glass frame.
"Boy, I'm giving you an advantage. If you have money, take the full 220,000 yuan."
"Lao Luo, you are mistaken. I don't want this, I want another treasure of your store." Zhang Yang shook his head and said.
"The other one? The blue and white flower-patterned celestial sphere vase from the Qianlong period? Oh, forget it, where does my old man Zi really have such a thing? It's just a high imitation. If you really want it, take it for two thousand yuan."
"Lao Luo, I don't want that fake blue and white porcelain anymore. Let me tell you clearly. Can you give me that A623 Shanghai old watch?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lao Luo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he laughed a few times and asked sarcastically: "Why do you want this thing?"
"I have a friend who likes to collect all kinds of watches, especially old domestic watches, but he has been collecting them for so long. He just can't get your old a623, so I want to ask you to give it up..."
There was a look of inseparability on Lao Luo's face, he smacked his mouth hesitantly a few times, then took off his reading glasses, reached out to touch his chin, and shook his head: "This thing is not for sale."
"Not for sale? Lao Luo, you also collect watches?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.
"That's not true. If you open an antique shop, you won't sell anything. It's just that there are very few of those things in existence, and there is a huge room for appreciation. If I sell them to you now, I will lose money."
"If it's a matter of price, there's no problem at all. Just make an offer," Zhang Yang said.
"Actually, it's not a problem whether it's money or not. The last time I bought it from an old lady, I only spent 3,000 yuan. Now this thing is basically marketable and priceless. No matter how I sell it, I make a profit. But now
But I can’t sell it.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel disappointed. The reason why he brought Yang Fei here excitedly was because he heard from Yang Jing that Yang Xiuguo had a hobby of collecting watches, and he especially liked to collect old domestic watches that were not very valuable.
And I heard Yang Jing mentioned that Yang Xiuguo has always wanted to find an old A623 watch. However, there are very few A623s in stock. At the beginning, only more than 10,000 were produced. Even if there are, the quality is not good, so it has always been a shortcoming.
.
But it happened that when Zhang Yang was doing odd jobs for Lao Luo, an old lady once gave Lao Luo an old A623 watch. Lao Luo sold it for 3,000 yuan on the spot. Two years ago, he bought it for 3,000 yuan.
An old domestic watch is definitely a big deal.
Later, when Zhang Yang heard Lao Luo showing off, he realized that what he had obtained was a sample watch of the 1963 version of the a623 old watch produced in Shanghai.
The a623 Shanghai watch was worn by the first prime minister of China after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Therefore, this domestic watch is also called the prime minister's watch. It is also the domestic mechanical watch with a single calendar derived from the a581, China's first watch.
Originally, the production volume of this model was small, and because it was worn by the first Prime Minister, it has extremely high collection value.
What's even more valuable is that this watch is still a trial production version. You must know that the total production volume of A623 watches is only more than 10,000, and this one with 1963 engraved on it is one of the 100 samples in the second batch of trial production. It is absolutely OK.
It can be called a treasure among treasures.
But I didn't expect that Lao Luo wouldn't sell it, and it wasn't because of money.
Disappointed, Zhang Yang still asked curiously: "Since it's not about money, can you tell me the reason why you don't sell?"
"Hey, it's not because of that dead girl." The old man shrugged and said.
"That princess of yours?" Zhang Yang couldn't help but asked curiously, "Didn't she go to study abroad?"
The old man has a very beautiful daughter, but her temper is not very good. Zhang Yang was bullied by her several times when she was doing odd jobs here.
"I graduated from college and returned to my country to look for a job at home. I still can't find one." (To be continued.
