Chapter 228 Little Peach Talisman

Driving the car, Fang Ming was aimless, and found that once he was free, he didn't know where to go.

Back to Guxuanzhai?That was absolutely impossible. He believed that there must be a large number of reporters with long guns and short cannons waiting for him to fall into the trap.

Only a fool would go back at this time.

But where do you go if you don't go back?

After Fang Ming drove around the street for nearly an hour, he finally found a big shopping mall and stopped. He was really bored, so he decided to find a place to eat.

There is everything in the big shopping mall, Fang Ming found his goal soon after entering - pearl milk tea!
Bought a copy and held it in his hand, while drinking and chewing the pearls full of elasticity, Fang Ming wandered around casually, there was nothing wrong anyway, right?
From the first floor to the fifth floor, Fang Ming decided to take a good look around all the places.

Soon, Fang Ming had a few more bags in his hand, some of which were clothes, some shoes, and even a watch—he suddenly remembered that he didn’t have a good outfit for tonight’s live broadcast. Bought directly.

"Um?!"

Fang Ming suddenly saw a small shop at a corner on the fourth floor. To be precise, there was only one shelf with glass. It was a dark red cabinet, and inside were wooden products such as combs and bracelets.

"It's a famous brand."

Fang Ming remembered that this brand was very popular a few years ago. Even if he was a student and studied in a small county, he would know about it. Some special effects, such as the ability to activate collaterals, have many branches across the country, but the situation has changed now, and this brand has gradually become silent.

Fang Ming thought about it for a while, and realized that he had nothing to do now anyway, but the girl standing in front of the small counter seemed to be pretty good looking, and chatting was just a good way to pass the time.

"Hi sir, do you have any needs? Our products here mainly include combs, hand beads, etc. In terms of materials, they are mainly rosewood, sandalwood, peach wood, etc..."

"Let me see."

Fang Ming nodded, carefully looked at the combs and bracelets of those people, and found that the cheapest ones cost more than 100 yuan, generally speaking, they cost three to four hundred yuan, and most of them cost two to three thousand yuan. It even marked a high price of 10.

"This one……"

Fang Ming shook his head, thinking that this brand is expensive.A string of bracelets cost more than 10 yuan?This is no longer expensive. You must know that this is not an antique. It costs [-] yuan to make it with purlin wood?Even more money?

Generally speaking, the value of wood products is concentrated in two aspects, one is the value of the wood used, and the other is the craftsmanship.

From the perspective of the value of the wood itself, red sandalwood is naturally more valuable than ordinary bamboo, but now those rare woods are very rare, how can it be used to mass-produce such things as combs?

The second is craftsmanship, even if it is really handmade, but the people who made it are not famous, how can their craftsmanship be very valuable?And how to ensure that there is no mechanical component in the whole processing process?
Therefore, Fang Ming felt that this was a little unbelievable.

However, this matter is willing to fight and suffer, and there is nothing to say.

Anyway, it was still early, so Fang Ming simply pointed to the most expensive string of beads and said, "I want to take a look at this string."

"sure no problem."

Holding the bead in his hand, Fang Ming felt that it did feel a little heavy in the hand, giving it a thick feeling, and the workmanship seemed to be quite exquisite, but if it was said that it was worth more than 10, he would never believe it—— The Pixiu on my right hand didn't respond to the bead at all!

"This bead is made of red sandalwood. Red sandalwood is a kind of precious tree. It is mainly produced in the tropical areas of the Nanyang Islands. There are also red sandalwood in Guangdong and Guangxi in my country, but it is relatively small. The small-leaf sandalwood produced in India is also called chicken blood. Sandalwood is the most precious among red sandalwood..."

Fang Ming interrupted the other party with a smile, and said: "Do you want to tell me that the diameter of the largest red sandalwood is only [-] centimeters, and it is ten sandalwood and nine empty, which means that the center of many sandalwood is empty, So you can imagine how precious it is.”

Hearing what Fang Ming said, the girl immediately knew that she had met someone who was knowledgeable. She blushed and said, "It seems that he is an expert, so I won't talk about it. You can see for yourself."

Put the bead in his hand back into the box, Fang Ming would never buy this bead worth 10 yuan.

Picking slowly, just when Fang Ming was about to be disappointed, he found a small amulet carved from peach wood.

"This thing seems to have a little more meaning."

Fang Ming picked up the peach talisman and took a closer look, and found that it was engraved with a simple pattern of auspicious clouds. Although it was not complicated, it gave off a sense of power.

The wood of peach wood is delicate and slippery, exuding a fragrance. It is also called "Dragon Wood" or "Ghost Terror Technique". , when this sacred tree fell to the ground, it grew into a piece of peach wood, and it is precisely because of this that the peach wood has a "divine nature", which can suppress disasters and avoid evil.Feicheng, located at the western foot of Mount Tai, is the place where peach trees have been cultivated for the longest time in the world. It has a history of thousands of years. The peach trees with the most "magical" power are those grown in the southeast. The peach charms made of this peach wood have a natural effect of exorcism.

Fang Ming had read these materials before, so at this time, he only recalled them briefly and remembered them all at once.

He doesn't know whether peach wood has the effect of exorcising evil spirits, but the peach charm that is only the size of two fingers in his hand is a good thing: the faint floating of Pixiu on the back of his hand is enough to prove this point.

After looking at the price tag, Fang Ming found that it was only 500 yuan, so he paid the price without paying it back, picked up his things and left.

Carrying his things, Fang Ming walked around again and found that it was almost time, so he got out of the parking lot and got into the car. After putting his things away, he thought for a while and called Zhou Yafang:
"Sister Avon, how is the situation? Can I go back now?"

"The situation in the store is very good, and the business is going on as usual. Jiang Wen and I just sold another 12 antiques."

Although he knew that Zhou Yafang couldn't see it, Fang Ming couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Sister Yafang, I didn't ask this person."

"laugh."

Zhou Yafang's laughter came from the mobile phone. Of course, she understood what Fang Ming wanted to ask, and said, "You'd better not come back, those reporters are still waiting for your appearance outside."

Fang Ming scratched his own hair and said, "But it's almost time now. Ke Liu and I have an appointment to broadcast live. I can't go back."

"I said Fang Ming, you are not stupid, you just call him and make another appointment. Do you have to come back to Guxuanzhai?"

Fang Ming thought for a while and realized that this was really the case, and he had no need to go back to Guxuanzhai.

"Okay, I see. I'll call Ke Liu now and make an appointment."

After Fang Ming called Zhou Yafang, he called Ke Liu again, and finally agreed to meet at Dongcheng Street, and the time was set at seven o'clock in the evening.

After confirming this matter, Fang Ming first found one, and after eating, he strolled for a while and then drove to Dongcheng Street.After arriving, looking for a place to park the car, Fang Ming did not immediately go to Li Yifeng, but walked slowly along the street.

Although the hyped news has already appeared in the newspapers, Fang Ming was not a celebrity after all, or he was released because of Ke Liu, so although Dongcheng Street and Little Antique Street are only one street away, but He is very "safe" here, and he doesn't have to worry about anyone finding him.

"This place is really nice."

The more Fang Ming looked at it, the more complacent he became. The result of his brainstorming was that from now on, an antique paradise would appear in Ningdong City and even the whole country. This feeling is really good, and there is a refreshing feeling of changing the world with one's own ability.

Walking to the very center of Dongcheng Street, Fang Ming saw the shops bought by Zhou Yafang.From the rust on the closed door, it can be seen that these shops have not been opened for a long time. Of course, this is a good thing, otherwise Zhou Yafang would not have bought the shop so smoothly before.

However, everything here will change dramatically in the near future. After a large amount of capital investment, everything will change rapidly. Coupled with a series of hype, I believe that it will soon replace the small antique street as a new antique paradise. Of course, in the end The result may also be that the small antique street still survives, but it is included in the "antique circle" centered on Dongcheng Street and becomes a part of it.This is of course the result Fang Ming would like to see the most, because it means that the scope of the entire antique base is beyond the scope of Dongcheng Street, Huaxi Street and Tongshi Street.

Fang Ming really wanted to go into the store to take a look, but finally found that the time agreed with Ke Liu was almost there, so he had to give up.

Walking to the street, Fang Ming soon saw several cars marked with Ningdong City TV station driving towards them.

After the car stopped, a group of staff came down first, and then Ke Liu also jumped out of the car.

"coming?"

Fang Ming nodded, and said, "I can't stay in the store anymore, I've been strolling outside for a day, and after I got here, I took a walk around."

Ke Liu knew that this must be the result of the morning news.

"This is just the beginning. They are just waiting for you in Guxuanzhai. If they can't wait, they will find other ways to 'dig' you out, especially after the live broadcast tonight. They will find that you and I host the show together, which will make them more interested, and thus their desire to find you will be even greater."

Ke Liu has been there, so he is quite familiar with it.

"Okay, no problem, I will pay attention."

Fang Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.

"There are still a series of things, but let's talk about it after the live broadcast is over. Now the time is almost up, let's prepare first."

Ke Liu led Fang Ming to a makeup van parked aside, where there would be a dedicated makeup artist waiting for the two of them.
