According to the old rules, she got off the bus at the entrance of the alley and walked for half an hour before reaching Antique Street.
Compared to the last time I came here, the antique street is obviously more lively today.
It can even be considered to be bustling with people!
Looking at the crowded crowd, Xia Youyou was a little worried about her small body.
Can you squeeze in?
She pulled at her clothes and exclaimed that it was a mistake. She should have changed into something more modest before going out!
Thinking of this, Xia Youyou decisively turned around, turned several turns into a remote alley, found a deserted place, looked around, and made sure that there was no one here before taking out a black coat and covering herself with it.
This is her old friend.
She had just woken up from the ruined temple wearing this bathrobe. But now she had improved it a bit and asked her mother to sew a layer of cotton inside, which was both warm and low-key.
She took off the hairpin on her head, took out her Lei Feng hat, rolled up her hair and hid it inside, and put on a mask.
She was satisfied only after everything was covered up tightly.
But when I saw the leather boots on my feet, I felt a headache again.
He decisively found a pair of cotton shoes and put them on before heading back to Antique Street.
After keeping a low profile, she obviously received fewer glances. She swaggered into the crowd, often dropping by the stalls where others were negotiating prices.
Occasionally, he would squat down to see if there were any good items.
But these are all tricks. In order not to attract the attention of those who are interested, she has put in a lot of effort.
I walked and stopped along the way, and it took a long time before I finally arrived at the stall I had been to before.
Wang Li, who was bargaining with someone, didn't recognize the person at first. He just thought she was someone who was watching the fun. Her clothes didn't make him think that she was the girl who had always bought something.
Xia Youyou stood by and watched for a while, and saw that the two people had successfully made a deal, and an imitation Tang Sancai was bought for two hundred.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, it seemed that she really got a great bargain every time she came here!
After the crowd dispersed, Xia Youyou squatted down.
"Hey, sir, what would you like to order?" Wang Li counted the money in his hand in a good mood, and after confirming that it was correct, he put it all into his pocket. Seeing a boy dressed in black squatting in front of the stall, he quickly greeted him happily.
Xia Youyou raised the corners of her lips under the mask and reached out to take it off. "Brother Wang Li, don't you recognize me?"
"Ouch! You...you!" Wang Li pointed at the bright-looking girl in front of him. His brain suddenly short-circuited and he didn't react for a long time.
Finally he remembered that he had agreed with this girl last time to send the things to her place, but he didn't even ask for her name and address!
"Oh! Sister! You've kept me waiting!" Wang Li was so disappointed that he slapped his thigh and said, "Last time we parted, I didn't even have time to ask for your name and address!"
Xia Youyou's smile froze on her face. She couldn't believe that she would make such a low-level mistake!
Goodness, no wonder she felt something was wrong. Why hadn't he delivered an antique in such a long time? She'd thought he didn't have any, but it turned out the problem was hers!
She scratched her forehead awkwardly and said, "I was confused." It seemed that she was so obsessed with those antiques that she even forgot to give the owner's name and address!
"Oh~" Wang Li waved his hands and said indifferently: "How can I blame you? It's my own fault that I didn't ask you for the address." He looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to this side before he leaned over and whispered to her.
"I've saved all the good stuff for you! I know you have good taste and will definitely come back again. So, you've been keeping me waiting!"
Xia Youyou pursed her lips, smiled, and nodded, giving him a thumbs-up. "Brother Wang Li is trustworthy. I admire you, sister!"
Wang Li scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Well, it's because I think you have a good impression of me. I don't think so about others."
If you are in this line of work, you can't make money without being shrewd, especially since you have to support your family. It's even more impossible for you to make black appear white and deceive people in any way you can!
Xia Youyou actually wanted to thank him sincerely for his sincerity.
"Brother Wang Li, my name is Xia Youyou, and I live at No. 5 Huada Street. If you have anything, please send it over to me. I will definitely not treat you unfairly when the time comes!"
"Hey, Hua Street? Do you live there?"
"Well, I'm a student at Hua University." Xia Youyou didn't say that she was about to become a teacher. It was seriously inconsistent with her age, and it made people feel like she was bragging!
Wang Li gave her a thumbs up and said, "You are amazing, girl. Huazhong University of Science and Technology is the top university!" He was amazed and kept praising her.
Xia Youyou felt embarrassed by the compliment and quickly stopped him from talking. If he continued, she wouldn't even have to rush home!
"Okay, Brother Wang Li, where's the thing you said you'd leave for me?"
Wang Li slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory!" He turned around and carefully took out a pair of white jade cups from a box behind him.
"Take a look at this, wow." He carefully placed the white jade cup in Xia Youyou's outstretched hand. "This is the imperial white jade cup from the Qianlong era. It's also a pair in excellent condition!"
He praised as he spoke, his eyes shining with admiration.
"I collected this from a professor's family with a bad background!" Wang Li whispered to Xia Youyou about its origins.
"That family must have hidden their treasure well enough that it wasn't found during the campaign. Now, having just returned to the city, they're left with no food or money, so they're forced to sell their property."
He said with regret, "I don't know how many treasures I've smashed in the past. What a pity!"
Xia Youyou held the jade cup in her hand and naturally knew that this was true!
Listening to him chattering on and on about his origins, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
That’s right, so many national treasures were smashed and destroyed, the loss is simply incalculable!
She nodded, interrupting him, "Get me a box to put it in."
Wang Li stopped talking and took out the box that had contained the white jade cup from the box behind him and gave it to her. "This is the original box. It was packed in this way when I received it."
"Okay." Xia Youyou put the white jade cup into the box, took the box from his hand and held it in her arms, "Anything else?"
"Yes!" After saying that, Wang Li turned over the box behind him again.
Xia Youyou was so curious about his box, which looked like a treasure bag. She stretched her head to see what was inside.
I really want him to take out all of them, but there are too many people here, and if he takes them all out at once it might attract other people's attention.
She could only bear it patiently and watch him pull things out one by one.
Wang Li looked around and made sure no one was paying attention before taking out a colorful pot from the box.
Xia Youyou sighed inwardly, "Good guy!"
After all, it’s a family tradition, so he was not called a profiteer in vain!
Taking it from his hand, I could tell at a glance that it was a [Ming Xuande copper-based cloisonné enamel pot]!
That is the famous cloisonné!
real!
She was a little excited. After making sure that no one was looking at her, she quickly took out a piece of black cloth from her bag and wrapped the pot.
Seeing her like this, Wang Li showed his teeth and smiled silently.
