After choosing for a long time, Liu Na finally settled on a vase and a snuff bottle, but she was hesitant about which one to choose.
"Li Wenjing, which one do you think my savior would like?"
"This snuff bottle is from the Kangxi period, and the vase is Qianlong famille rose. You can choose the snuff bottle. This vase can be given to your grandfather, but I need someone to fix it because the opening is broken."
"Then I want a snuff bottle. What's the difference between these two?" Liu Na asked, pointing to the vase she bought from Zhang Si's stall.
Li Wenjing took the magnifying glass and handed it to Liu Na: "This is obviously a replica from the Republic of China. If you look at the one in your hand with a magnifying glass, you can see that the hairs on it are all individual strands."
Liu Na took a closer look, and Huo Sichuan was also very curious, because his grandfather also had one from the Qianlong period, and he usually wouldn't let him touch it.
Liu Na took the magnifying glass and looked carefully. Seeing that it was just as Li Wenjing said, she screamed excitedly.
"Really, it's true, they are really one by one!"
"Hey, sister, show me quickly!"
Liu Na was not stingy and handed it over generously: "Here, be careful!"
Huo Sichuan took it carefully, then picked up the magnifying glass and started looking at it.
Li Wenjing looked at the two of them with a smile, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Yue Xuanyu staring at her. Suddenly her face turned red. Does this guy know how to be reserved? He is still looking at her!
Li Wenjing turned around and glared at him.
Yue Xuanyu...
The little girl won’t be angry, right?
Yue Xuanyu smiled and retracted his gaze. He couldn't look at her anymore. What if he annoyed the little girl?
"Tsk tsk, I have to say this is a really good thing. Well, would you consider transferring it?" Huo Sichuan asked cautiously.
Liu Na...
"No, I won't transfer it. Don't even think about it. This is something I'm going to give away!"
Liu Na quickly took the thing from Huo Sichuan's hand.
When Li Wenjing saw Huo Sichuan, he had an idea in his mind. Huo Sichuan was a key figure, so he had to make friends with him.
So he said in a big voice: "Brother Chuan, take a look at these things on the table. Have you finished looking at any of them? If you have, I'll give them to you as a gift!"
"Look, you said I'm popular no matter where I go. How about this, we'll call each other brother and sister from now on. As long as we're in Kyoto, you just need to mention your brother Chuan's name, and it will work everywhere."
Since the girl had brought him on the date, he certainly couldn't be stingy.
Huo Sichuan turned around and took a black box from the antique shelf and handed it directly to Li Wenjing.
"Here, this is a gift from your brother. Go play with it!"
After saying this, Huo Sichuan lowered his head to study the katydid gourd.
Li Wenjing didn't hesitate and opened it immediately. Inside was a set of jewelry, including gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold earrings, gold rings, etc. There were eight pieces in total, all of which were very small and the gold content was not heavy.
Li Wenjing looked at Yue Xuanyu and asked, "Is this too expensive?"
"It's okay. Since Chuanzi gave it to you, just take it. Besides, this thing of yours is not cheap. To put it bluntly, Chuanzi took advantage of you."
Huo Sichuan, while studying the katydid, agreed: "Xuanzi is right. Anything you have here is more expensive than mine. These things of mine are just called "Qiao". This set is still a sample. If you don't mind, take it!"
"Okay, I'll take it then. Thank you, Brother Chuan!"
"Yeah, okay. By the way, sister, I really like this katydid gourd, but I don't know where it came from."
Huo Sichuan studied it for a long time, but he was still unsure.
"Look at the mouth of the gourd, there's a mark!"
Li Wenjing handed over the magnifying glass.
Huo Sichuan took the magnifying glass and looked at it carefully again and again.
"Sanhe Liu?"
Li Wenjing smiled and said, "It should be, but I don't really understand it. He should be a famous master!"
Huo Sichuan was a little puzzled and asked, "You really don't understand? Then why do you think this thing can be bought?"
Li Wenjing smiled and said, "Maybe it's an innate intuition!"
Liu Na said proudly: "Huh, you don't know yet, but our Li Wenjing is the only girl in the Archaeology Department of Beijing University!"
"Sure, sister, this is it for you, I'll take this, I love playing with katydids the most!"
Huo Sichuan gave Li Wenjing a thumbs up, and then Huo Sichuan put the katydid gourd into his pocket.
Several people looked at the things Li Wenjing bought together. Huo Sichuan exclaimed that they were amazing. None of them were fake and they were definitely worth the money!
Yue Xuanyu looked around and saw that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Have you had lunch? Chuanzi, let's go eat!"
Huo Sichuan was very happy today. He waved his hand and said, "Oh, look at me, I was so happy that I even forgot something as important as eating!
Xuanzi, I'm sorry. I wanted to treat you to mutton hotpot, but now my sister is here, and mutton hotpot is not worthy of my sister's status. Let's go, I'll treat you to a private meal!"
Li Wenjing still preferred small restaurants and said bluntly, "Brother Chuan, there's no need to bother. Nana and I have already agreed to go eat mutton hotpot after this. Let's go together!"
Huo Sichuan looked at Yue Xuanyu and asked, "Brother, isn't this a bit disrespectful?"
Yue Xuanyu glanced at Li Wenjing and said with a smile: "Since Li Wenjing said that we should eat mutton hotpot, then let's go eat mutton hotpot."
Huo Sichuan had just been immersed in Li Wenjing's pile of things and hadn't noticed Yue Xuanyu's attitude at all. Now that he looked closely, he realized that there was something wrong with this kid's attitude today. Recalling the smile he had just seen standing at the window...
Huo Sichuan felt that he had discovered a big secret.
"You kid? You..."
Huo Sichuan was so frightened that he was about to scream, but Yue Xuanyu, who had been observing him, covered his mouth with his hand.
Li Wenjing and Liu Na looked over, wondering what the two were playing.
Huo Sichuan signaled Yue Xuanyu with his eyes to let him go. Yue Xuanyu was sure that his childhood friend understood what he meant, so he let go.
"Let's go quickly. We have to go early for the mutton hotpot. If we go late, there will be no seats left!"
A few of them quickly packed up their things and went to the mutton hotpot restaurant.
These days, except for state-owned restaurants, other small restaurants are very well hidden. After all, the policy has not been relaxed to allow private business.
When a few of us came, it wasn't mealtime yet so there were seats available and the food was served very quickly.
After the dishes came, Huo Sichuan invited everyone to eat.
"Everyone, hurry up and try it! Their meat is specially raised in the countryside. It's so tender!"
Liu Na is a real comparison: "Really, this meat is really tender. I'll remember this place and bring my grandpa here to eat next time!"
Huo Sichuan teased: "I didn't realize that you are such a filial little girl!"
