After signing her name on the contract, Weng Meiling hesitated for many days, her face always uncertain, and now she finally showed her long-lost smile. Not only did she personally cook a meal for Feng Yifeng, but she also made a big batch of seafood soup, but that
Feng Yifeng was the only one who praised the taste. Even Weng's mother and uncle Chen Jing took a sip of the soup, and then disappeared.
For the lover, everything is worth it. After Feng Yifeng finished Weng Meiling's meal, he didn't leave the bathroom all night. He took a bottle of gastrointestinal medicine in a row. He almost thought it was food poisoning and had to go to the hospital for examination. Let's see.
Others who have encountered this situation have already sworn in their hearts that they will never eat any food cooked by Weng Meiling in the future, otherwise Feng Yifeng is the best example.
In fact, Weng Meiling's cooking skills are not that bad. She has cooked many times when she was in Hong Kong. But this time she had a seizure, and she actually made a seafood soup. The seafood she chose was very fresh.
But for the sake of freshness, she simply simmered it for a while. Many of the seafood in the nest were not cooked at all. Feng Yifeng drank almost half of the nest alone. How could he not have diarrhea?
Academically, Weng Meiling is undoubtedly a top student, otherwise she would not have stood out and been selected by a famous designer as an assistant designer. However, her cooking skills still need to be improved, otherwise Feng Yifeng will cry in the future.
When she entered social work for the first time, Feng Yifeng told her that she should handle interpersonal relationships well in the company, not lose her temper, and smile to her boss or colleagues. She should also read more, learn more, and express less random opinions.
After all, you are a newcomer, and your abilities have not yet been recognized. If you are thought to be arrogant, you may become a target of others. This is the most basic office culture. For those who have just entered social work, it still needs a period of adaptation.
time. However, with Weng Meiling’s intelligence, Feng Yifeng believed that she could handle the relationship between her boss and colleagues well.
Feng Yifeng was not like Weng Meiling, who devoted himself wholeheartedly to his job, leaving Feng Yifeng alone at home and becoming a loner. Being a bit bored, the only way for him was to wander around London.
"Do you have anywhere else to go today? Why don't you accompany me to the flea market?" Chen Jing asked, looking at Feng Yifeng who was sitting in the living room watching TV. Originally, Weng Meiling had a day off today, Saturday, but because there was
A very important design project was going on, and this was the first time Weng Meiling was involved, so she didn't hesitate to work overtime. She could only ignore Feng Yifeng and let him grow mold at home alone.
"Flea market? There is also a flea market in London? I haven't really been to it. What's in it?"
"Haha, it turns out that Nannan hasn't taken you anywhere yet! It's a good place. Not only does it have antiques, but it also has many local specialties and some second-hand goods from all over the UK. Many locals will go there when the market is open.
Let’s see what good items are for sale. But the flea market will only open on Saturdays, which happens to be today. How about it? Are you interested in going and taking a look together?”
"Of course, I've never been to a flea market before. I just happened to see it today."
Portbello Road Flea Market is the most famous open-air market in London and even the UK. Located in the Notting Hill area, the Portbello Road Antique Market attracts a large number of people every Saturday. From the most fashionable young goods to grandma’s
High-end antiques and London markets like the Portobello Road Flea Market will definitely change your view of the silent and reserved British.
The flea market on Portobello Road was originally a pig farm. After continuous development in the past 50 years, it has become a large antique market. However, whether you are buying from permanent shops or vendors who set up temporary stalls on Saturdays,
You have to be careful about everything, because there are many scammers out there.
Inside the market, the antique market at the southern end has hundreds of stalls. You can see antiques from all over the world, ranging from the Roman era to the 1960s. Continue walking north and transition to a food market that mainly serves local people.
, mainly sells various fruits and vegetables, fish, cheese and other foods, as well as snacks here, many of which have traditional characteristics. The northernmost one is the second-hand flea market located under the West Road Viaduct, every Friday and
On Saturdays, the place becomes extremely lively, with vendors selling a variety of goods, from decorations and gadgets to fashionable clothing.
Following Chen Jing to the outskirts of the market, Feng Yifeng felt that the flow of people had begun to gather, all going in the same direction. "Wow! I really didn't expect that there would be such a big flea market in London. It seems like there must be a lot of people inside."
There will be a lot of good things. Uncle, let’s go in quickly! Otherwise, all the good things will be left to people to buy.”
"Haha, you don't need to be nervous. There are a lot of good things inside. It just needs to test your taste. Many of the so-called antiques are fakes and you won't even know they've been deceived. Also, you have to be careful here.
Property, many thieves will take advantage of you to negotiate with the stall owner, hang around you, and then take the opportunity to steal your property." Looking at the excited Feng Yifeng, Chen Jing said with a smile. He only now realized that Feng Yifeng was not
That kind of fully mature man, he also has a young, impulsive and energetic side, but because he has to manage such a large company, he has to mature himself and maintain a dignified posture in front of his subordinates.
Feng Yifeng really opened his eyes when he walked into the antique market. Not only were there Chinese porcelain, bronzes and jades, but there were also pottery figurines for sale from the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shihuang that had just been excavated in Xi'an, China.
.However, Feng Yifeng, who had seen the real Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi'an in his previous life, could tell at a glance that these terracotta warriors were fakes and should have been made from small workshops around Xi'an. It was okay to deceive foreigners, as long as they were Chinese.
, can basically be recognized at a glance. According to my uncle, since mainland China has now reformed and opened up, many foreigners have the opportunity to go to this mysterious ancient oriental country, and feel fresh and curious about everything there. So people from China
The antiques that come out are the best-selling ones.
In addition to Chinese antiques, there are also many kinds of silver and gold objects from ancient Egypt and ancient Rome. It is said that many of them were excavated from the pyramids. Feng Yifeng had to sigh for this, regardless of
Whether it is in the East or the West, gold-picking and fighting is the most popular industry. Whenever there is an ancient tomb, these people will flock to it like sharks smelling blood. But they all have a good reason:
"For archeology, to protect world heritage, and to learn more about the historical development of world culture." With such a grand reason, anything can be done.
Feng Yifeng followed Chen Jing and looked at several stalls selling antique Chinese porcelain and bronze. Although Feng Yifeng was not a bricklayer, he still had a basic eye for celadon, white porcelain, and three-color porcelain from the Tang Dynasty.
, Jingdezhen official kilns in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were basically imitations. Many colored glazed porcelain and painted porcelain were made in modern times. However, they are very exquisitely made and can be used for viewing, but not as collections.
So suitable.
When they came to a stall selling ancient weapons, they heard the stall owner spitting at a customer: "This is a genuine King Arthur's sword. As soon as I saw you, you know the goods."
Look at the workmanship and how sharp it is. It’s definitely genuine. You should know our British history, right? King Arthur’s accessories are also called the King’s Sword or the Broken Steel Sword, the Iron Cutting Sword, and the Lake Sword.
The Sword of Victory is the supreme symbol of kingship of King Arthur. Wearing this sword of the king with elven magic can make all the knights bow their heads, not only establishing his own throne, but also triumphing in many battles, so it is
There will be the birth of our empire on which the sun never sets. Look carefully, the sword is made of gold, and the hilt is inlaid with gems, and the edge cuts iron like mud. If you don't believe it, you can try it at will."
The stall owner talked for a long time, then took out a piece of iron from a box, which was estimated to be two to three millimeters thick. Under the strange looks of everyone, he raised his sword and chopped it down. "Choke", the iron piece was chipped.
A small piece was removed, but the so-called King's Sword was actually unscathed, still shining with a cold light.
"How's it going? I didn't lie to you, did I? I am an absolutely honest person in business, and I would never lie to others. I knew you were a discerning person as soon as I saw you, so I reluctantly gave up." The stall owner was very satisfied with these things.
Seeing the expression of the person he was performing, he picked up a scabbard beside him and put the sword back.
The customer squatting there seemed to believe the stall owner's words and was very interested in the sword in the stall owner's hand. "Boss, I am very interested in this sword, but the price you quoted is too expensive. You are asking for a sword?"
It costs five thousand pounds, can the price be cheaper?”
"This? Okay! Seeing that you are traveling to our UK from abroad, in order to let you understand the gentlemanly demeanor of our British, I will give you a cheaper price, 4,800 pounds. This is the cheapest price.
I'm done." The boss looked pained, thinking that he was too bored to give up.
Feng Yifeng saw the whole process, and he also knew about the Sword of the King. After all, this sword belonged to the founding emperor of the British royal family. How could it be left in a flea market? "Uncle, don't you mean the Sword of the King?"
Has the scabbard been lost a long time ago? I have read some historical data. The scabbard was lost when the knight Lancelot was besieging Morgan's castle to save him. Why is there still a scabbard here? What's more, isn't the Sword of the King already there?
Is it broken? This sword is a national treasure of the British royal family. How can it be sold here at a low price and let the royal family lose face?"
You knew it was a scam at first glance. In order to prevent the customer from being deceived, Feng Yifeng spoke to Chen Jing in English, and intentionally or unintentionally increased the volume so that everyone around him could hear it. The customer and the stall owner naturally
No exception, but their expressions are different.
The guest stood up. He was fine when he was squatting. Now I realized how tall he was. With Feng Yifeng's height of almost 1.8 meters, he actually had to raise his head to see his face clearly. This tall guest,
Staring at Feng Yifeng put a lot of pressure on him.
"You just said that this sword is fake, just a modern high imitation of the King's Sword?" The giant smiled narrowly and said: "I didn't expect that you, an Asian, are actually familiar with the history of Great Britain and some of its legends. You
Are you so sure that this sword is fake?"
Feng Yifeng smiled and wanted to say more, but Chen Jing had already pulled him away. Now he had messed up other people's business. There was a mix of dragons and snakes here, and everyone was there. It was better to do less than to do more. This kind of thing still happened
It's better to keep it under control. However, Feng Yifeng glanced at the livid stall owner and turned to leave. However, when leaving, he said: "Actually, you know whether it is true or false, so why bother to ask more questions?"
