"That's fine, then I'll trouble you!" Chen Dasheng thought for a while, and it was a solution, so he nodded lightly. He has been in contact with Nangong Chengfeng before, and he is an upright guy, so he should be able to help.

"Hi, you are my brother-in-law, don't worry if there is any trouble!" Nangong Chen said.

……

"Master, Uncle, we're here!"

While the two were talking, the car had already arrived at the place, the middle-aged driver stopped the car, turned his head and said to Chen Dasheng.

"Come on, brother-in-law, let's go down and have a look!" Nangong Chen called Chen Dasheng out of the car, turned to the middle-aged driver and said, "Uncle De, wait for us outside, we'll be out in a while."

"Good young master!" The uncle responded, started the car, and moved aside.

Panjiayuan, the most popular antiques market in China, is mainly engaged in antiques, jewelry and jade, handicrafts, collectibles, decorations, etc. There are a wide variety of things, and people say that when foreigners come to the capital, they have to climb the Great Wall and eat Roast duck, visiting the Forbidden City, and visiting Panjiayuan', people walking among them are easily attracted by the antique atmosphere.

There are a lot of people, stalls, and goods in this place, which attracts many Taobao people from all over the world. It can be said that many people come here with a beautiful dream, that is, whether they can be lucky and pick up a Leak, I found a good treasure.

However, in Nangongchen's words, people nowadays are becoming more and more sophisticated. Even if experts and professors have their eyes open, it is simply a fantasy for a half-baked layman to find good things from this vast ocean. .

There are many tourists coming and going, including many foreigners. Today is the weekend, and there are many street stalls, bottles and jars, four treasures of the study, ancient calligraphy and paintings, old books, agate jade, Chinese and foreign coins, bamboo and wood bone carvings..., It is really dazzling to see.

The stall owner's eyes are fixed on the passers-by. Once the tourists pass by, they will always yell and come over to flicker. Chen Dasheng and Nan Gongchen move forward slowly with the crowd. head.

However, Chen Dasheng felt it was very novel, perhaps because he used to read novels, those protagonists could pick up the leaks on these stalls, so Chen Dasheng was a little excited, he had such a sharp weapon as spiritual consciousness, it seemed that he was not inferior to those protagonists at all, saying Maybe you can really find one or two treasures here, and have a good time.

"Brother-in-law, there's nothing to look at. Don't listen to those stall owners talking nonsense. These stalls are actually counterfeit. I know where they bought the goods!" Seeing the excitement in Chen Dasheng's eyes that couldn't be concealed, Nangong Chen couldn't help reminding, "Actually, this place shouldn't be called the antique market, it should be called the handicraft market more appropriately. If you want to find something good here, the chances of finding something good here are no higher than buying a lottery ticket."

"It's okay, just walk around!" Chen Dasheng had a face of indifference, it happened by chance, maybe he just ran into him?

Walking to an old book stall, Chen Dasheng stopped and squatted down. There were many comic books on the stall. Chen Dasheng picked up a few books and looked at them, but he didn't have much interest, so he put them back.

"My friend, you have vision!" The boss is a rich middle-aged fat man with philistine and shrewd eyes. He immediately came up to him, picked up the little book that Chen Dasheng touched just now, and said with a shy smile, " This set of 'Water Margin' was published by People's Fine Arts Publishing House in 1984!"

As he said that, the boss flipped through the picture album for Chen Dasheng to read, "Looking at this style of painting, does it feel familiar? Do you have any childhood memories? It is very valuable for collection, 30% of it is new, buy it back and put it away, and take it back every two years If you come out, the value will be doubled at least, this is a complete set of 1000 volumes, one volume is quite a lot, friends, if you are interested, [-] yuan, take it away!"

Like a cannonball, Chen Dasheng didn't even say a word, the boss had already said a lot, Chen Dasheng didn't even come to his senses for a while, what exactly did the boss say, the boss had already said that Dozens of comic books were held in front of Chen Dasheng.

"Ugh!" Chen Dasheng swallowed, waved his hands, and said, "I'm just looking, not buying!"

It looks old, something from more than [-] years old, with a different person, maybe it can bring back childhood memories, but when Chen Dasheng was a child, his family was poor, so where would he have the money to buy these things? Childhood memories are pure nonsense. In his eyes, things are not worth so much money at all, and there is no need for Chen Dasheng to collect them. It is not certain whether this thing is real or not, and he is not a fool.

Hearing this, the boss put the little book in his hand back to its original place resentfully, with a faint displeasure on his face, mumbling in his mouth, wondering if he was scolding Chen Dasheng.

"Boss, how do you sell this thing?" Just as the boss was muttering, Chen Dasheng picked up a book in the corner.

"Huh? 100 yuan a copy, take it if you want!" The boss looked up, and didn't explain too much. Chen Dasheng said that he just had a look and didn't buy it, so he didn't bother to waste those words.

Nangongchen got a little annoyed at the sidelines, and said, "Brother-in-law, let's look elsewhere. What's so good about comic books, why don't we go home and watch cartoons."

"Aren't you going to buy a chess record for your grandfather, isn't this what it is?" Chen Dasheng raised the book and turned his head to Nangong Chen.

"Chess record?"

When Nangongchen heard this, he immediately became interested, and immediately squatted beside Chen Dasheng, and took the book from Chen Dasheng's hand.

"Appropriate and elegant?"

It was an old thread-bound book with some missing corners and some stains on the cover. When Nangongchen saw the four words on the cover, his face suddenly became a little ugly. He turned to look at Chen Dasheng, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, This can't be a pornographic book, I'm very pure!"

"Fuck you, what are you thinking, you are still pure, I think you are not pure, you are a little devil!" Chen Dasheng couldn't help laughing and cursing when he heard the words, but the name was "love" and "fun" , it's no wonder Nangong Chen was thinking about it.

"Hey, it's really a chess record!" Nangongchen opened the book with doubts, and it really described a chess game, not a picture of chess as imagined, and his face was full of smiles .

"Friends, do you want to buy it or not? My stall is only this big. If you don't want to buy it, don't stand in the way of my business! If you rummaged through the books for me, how can I sell them?" The fat stall owner saw Chen Dasheng and the two of them. Just flipping through, not talking about buying, the customers in the back wanted to come and have a look, but they couldn't find a place to stop, and they were a little dissatisfied.

The tone of the fat stall owner made people feel a little uncomfortable. Hearing this, Nangong Chen suddenly raised his head, and wanted to say something very unhappy, but felt that someone beside him squeezed him.

"Boss, I'll buy it!"

A strange voice came from the side, the two turned their heads and saw a pair of foreign men and women with blonde hair and blue eyes standing next to them. The man had a beard, a golden mirror, was tall and strong, and was in his thirties. With a camera hanging on his shoulder, it looks like he is here to travel, and he still speaks a mouthful of non-local Mandarin.

"Hey, hello, my friend, you really have vision!" Seeing the foreign man, a smile appeared on the fat stall owner's face, and he hurried over, snatched the book from Nangongchen's hand, and handed it to him. In front of the foreign man, "My friend, you look at the book, it's definitely an old thing, very good!"

The boss gave a thumbs up, with a philistine smile on his face, and he didn't forget to pop out two English words.

"100 yuan?" The foreigner did not listen to what the boss said, directly took out a big red note, and handed it to the boss. Obviously, he was listening to the conversation between Chen Dasheng and the stall owner just now.

"Wait!"

Just when the boss was beaming and ready to reach out to take the money, a bluff stopped all these actions, Nangong Chen stood up slowly, looked at the foreign man's face, "Friend, everything should be said First come, first come, right? This book is the one we fell in love with first, why do you buy it when you say it!"

The son of the Nangong family is naturally arrogant, so he can bear this kind of anger, and the chess game described in the chess record does have a lot of attraction for him, so he can be snatched by the golden retriever who came out halfway.
