The stall owner quickly counted the money, and with a smile, he took out a few newspapers from a cardboard box, grabbed the plate and wrapped it up. After wrapping it in three layers of newspapers, he put the plate down and said with a smile, "Sir, we are a small stall, so we don't have that many exquisite packaging. Please forgive me."
Why would Yang Jing care about this? He grabbed the plate and put it in his backpack. At this point, the plate was completely owned by Yang Jing.
At this time, Yang Jing felt someone patted his shoulder. Yang Jing turned his head and found that it was the old man named Zhao who had spoken just now.
"Uncle, what can I do for you?"
Perhaps it was the first time they met face to face. The old man saw Yang Jing's blue eyes that had been transformed by his "disguise" skill. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sir, are you a foreigner?"
Yang Jing smiled and said, "British Chinese."
The old man's face suddenly darkened, but he still asked, "Sir, could you give me the plate in your hand? I'll pay the same price."
This is not the time to respect the old and love the young, this is a major event related to Longquan Ge Kiln. So Yang Jing simply shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, old man, I like this plate too, so I bought it and took it back to collect it."
Hearing this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he asked, "Are you planning to take this plate back to England?"
If the old man hadn't asked this question, Yang Jing wouldn't have realized anything, but when the old man said this, Yang Jing immediately remembered some laws and regulations about taking cultural relics out of the country. According to the relevant laws of China, all cultural relics with certain historical, artistic, and scientific values produced and manufactured before 1949 (inclusive) are prohibited from leaving the country in principle, and all cultural relics produced and manufactured before 1911 (inclusive) are prohibited from leaving the country.
This is the most basic provision of the relevant laws of China regarding the export of cultural relics. As for other legal provisions, there are stricter and clearer boundaries. But no matter what, the plate in his hand is definitely not within the scope of cultural relics that can be exported by law.
Thinking of these legal provisions, Yang Jing smiled and said, "My dear old man, you are wrong. I am not going to take this plate back to the UK. I still have a place to live in China, and I will keep this plate in China. I also know that such precious cultural relics are not allowed to be taken out of the country, so I have never thought of bringing such a precious treasure back to the UK. Although I am a British Chinese, I am also a Chinese after all, and I will not take my ancestors' things out of the country again. You can rest assured about this."
After hearing this, the old man sighed again, turned around and left with another old man.
