The car almost stopped on the side of a street.
Zhang Jingchu pointed to a nondescript building on the side of the road and said to Yu Sui, "It's right here."
Yu Sui looked up and saw that it was a two-story building with no sign. There was only a sign with black letters on a white background hanging at the entrance: Warehouse No. 718.
Yu Sui: “That’s it?”
Zhang Jingchu: "That's it. It will open up your whole world."
Zhang Jingchu said this and walked towards the door.
Unexpectedly, there were people in police uniforms guarding this inconspicuous little building.
Zhang Jingchu handed over the small red notebook she had borrowed from Director Gu for inspection, and the guard pushed a registration book over to her.
Zhang Jingchu wrote her own name and also helped Yu Sui write it, then pushed it to Yu Sui: "Sign it."
"Oh." Yu Sui signed nervously, then followed Zhang Jingchu inside.
There turned out to be a small shopping mall inside, selling things, all of which were imported goods. At first glance, it was quite dazzling, with some Russian chocolate, coffee, and alcohol, as well as British electric irons, child seats and other things. They looked much more upscale than their contemporaries.
However, there were not many customers.
But when the waiter saw Zhang Jingchu and Yu Sui come in, he seemed very polite, smiling and bowing slightly.
This attitude is much better than that of the salespersons in the supply chain or department stores.
Yu Sui was looking around curiously, but Zhang Jingchu walked quickly inside and was about to climb the stairs.
Yu Sui chased after him and said, "So it's just a shop selling foreign goods. I thought it was something else. Why is it so mysterious?"
Zhang Jingchu smiled and said, "When you get upstairs, you'll understand why this building is so mysterious."
Yu Sui blinked, followed him upstairs, and then she was stunned.
The upstairs is much bigger than the downstairs, but the things on display are mostly vases, ornaments, and calligraphy and paintings.
Of course there were some small items, but Yu Sui's eyes were captivated by a huge painting directly opposite.
The main colors are black and white, with a slight touch of red, but it creates a majestic and domineering mountain that looks very imposing.
Zhang Jingchu was already asking the waiter about a vase, so Yu Sui went over to look at the painting.
Wow, no wonder it’s so impressive, it turns out it’s the work of a calligrapher named Li!
But the price tag is only 1,500 yuan!
Yu Sui opened her mouth wide and couldn't close it.
The works of such great painters would cost tens of millions in later generations, but now they only cost fifteen hundred yuan?
This can't be a fake, right?
Yu Sui carefully looked at the inscription on the painting and repeatedly noted the year. Reluctant to leave, she went to look at some small paintings nearby.
You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it. Wow, these small fine brush paintings are actually created by the famous artist Qi.
No wonder it's so exquisite and cute.
Are these true?
Yu Sui couldn't help but turn her head and look around.
There are also many calligraphy and paintings on this floor, as well as some ceramic ornaments.
How about going to see the porcelain again?
Yu Sui strolled to the porcelain section.
This, this, this, each piece is so beautiful and exquisite, and you can see the marks of time at first glance.
At this moment, she really regretted not having read enough books. Take the vase in front of her for example. With this color and this glaze method, it should have been an item used by the royal family of a certain dynasty, right?
Right, right, right?
Yu Sui didn't even dare to touch these things.
She carefully walked around and finally walked to Zhang Jingchu.
Zhang Jingchu is looking at a small seal through a magnifying glass.
Her expression was extremely serious, but from the constant curling of her lips, one could imagine how happy she was at that moment.
Yu Sui whispered, "Jingchu, you want to buy this?"
Zhang Jingchu continued to look at the item in her hand and nodded. "Yeah. I like seal carving. This one is Tianhuang jade. It's translucent and moist. How beautiful! Although it's a bit expensive, I still want to buy it."
Yu Sui: “How much?”
"More than three hundred and eighty."
“…” Yu Sui was speechless for a moment.
Although she didn't know much about seal carving, Yu Sui had heard of the saying "one ounce of Tianhuang is worth one ounce of gold".
The seal in Zhang Jingchu's hand looks very clean and pure. Although we don't know who made it, to be able to obtain such high-quality raw materials to carve a seal, this person is definitely not an ordinary person. So, if these things are authentic, then more than three hundred yuan is really a bargain.
Yu Sui couldn't help but ask herself, "Are all the things here real?"
Zhang Jingchu, who had been concentrating on the seal, finally glanced at her, then glared at her with amusement: "If the things here are not real, then there is no place that is real!"
These words exploded in Yu Sui's mind, and her heart began to beat violently.
Oh my god, there is such a place in the world, and everything here is authentic?
Oh my god, could this be the legendary Little White House, open only to a very small number of people, where you can buy authentic antiques?
Yu Sui pretended to look at another seal and immediately turned around.
I was so excited that I was worried about my condition.
A long time ago, she was bored and in order to avoid being at a loss for specific things in this era, she bought some books in the space. It seemed that one of the books mentioned that there was a store in the capital where you could buy some ancient relics.
However, this store has only been in existence for a short time and only a few people can enter, so most people don't know about it.
Now it seems that this is the store. If I remember correctly, this store seemed to be closed in August this year - the top management has woken up and these things cannot be leaked.
But it's still there.
magic!
Yu Sui was leaning over the counter, thinking about the book she had read. Zhang Jingchu had already bought the stamp and came over to her, "Hey, how's it going? Do you like anything here?"
Yu Sui took a deep breath and said, "Well, I like a lot of them, but I... I want to go to the bathroom now. Where is the bathroom?"
"Ah? Toilet? I don't know either. Go ask the waiter, but hurry up, it's closing in half an hour."
"Oh, okay."
Yu Sui hurried away, asked a waiter, and then went straight to the bathroom.
Of course, toilets these days don't have cubicles.
But because there were few people in this place, there was no one in the toilet.
Yu Sui flashed into the space, exchanged a lot of money at lightning speed, and then flashed out.
Yu Sui ran back to the place where she had just looked at the painting and swallowed her saliva at the painting that cost 1,500 yuan.
Such a large painting, and at this price, if she bought it now, Zhang Jingchu would probably find it suspicious.
This is not an era where you can spend money casually.
Then, go buy those small fine brush paintings by famous artists like Qi.
One hundred and ten yuan each, she bought a set of four first.
Without even looking at them, Yu Sui pointed to four pictures that were slightly larger than her arms and said to the waiter, "I want these four."
