The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

On August 13, the three Zhang Nan, accompanied by the real estate agent who helped buy the house in Suffolk, went out to the small farm they bought. Bayi Middle School?? Text Network?? ≥=≠≤≤≤≤≤≥≤≤≠≠

From the town of Ipswich, the county seat of Suffolk, you can see beautiful villages and antique country houses that are very different from the Chinese style on the way out of the town. These idyllic scenery with a little poetic and picturesque flavor, and the strong flavor of English towns and farms make the three people feel the breath of the English countryside and nature, which can be regarded as the unique charm of the English countryside.

"Very clean!" Guan Xingquan said, looking at the scenery flashing through the car window.

Patches of grassland and interspersed woods, as well as dotted farmhouses and scattered livestock on the grassland, give people the greatest feeling of cleanliness!

"The English countryside seems to be particularly clean. This is actually a very important reason for the climatic characteristics: although it is clean here, the food production is not as good as ours. No matter how we manage it, the environmental sense is the same as that of England or Scotland. There is no way to compare."

Zhang Nan was referring to the climatic characteristics of southeast China. It is impossible to give people a "very clean" sense. There is no way, there are always gains and losses: the land here in the UK cannot support so many people in China. It only grows grass but not trees.

If the climate is not hot in summer, the grain output will not go up.

"Many places on both sides of the Sichuan-Tibet line also feel particularly clean, due to the climate."

Xiang Weirong interjected.

Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan both nodded. They had all seen the refreshing feeling of snow-capped mountains and grassland.

Only a few minutes after the car left the town, Zhang Nan saw a large area of ​​cars parked on a large green area on the side of the road. There were still a lot of people, and there seemed to be a lot of stalls.

"John, is that ‘car trunk goods for sale’?"

John is the small real estate agent, and it is him who will drive the car.

"Yes, Mr. Allen."

"If today's schedule is not in a hurry, I want to go there first."

When John heard it, he said, "Of course it's okay. I just had two broken plates in my house, so I happened to go take a look."

When he said that, he turned the car around and drove to the place where everyone parked on the green space on the side of the road.

This is the parking place for people who come to buy things, and the "stall" is still tens of meters away.

It is very interesting. Although it is purely wild, there are people who are responsible for the charges: each person who comes to buy things charges 2o pence. If you want to set up a stall, a car is 2 pounds for a booth.

"Is this money used to protect these grasslands?" Zhang Nan thought when he paid the money: Because the UK seems to grow grass everywhere, and it feels very flat, I don't know if it needs maintenance or fertilization once or twice throughout the year.

Four people gave a new version of £1 and recovered a coin with a face value of 2o pence.

John was not polite with the money Zhang Nan paid.

"There is a market like this every Sunday. At first, some people sold things that they didn't need at home, but now many of them are semi-professional businessmen, and some people in second-hand shops are also taking a break. Come on. What are the shortcomings of the house, you can usually buy it when you come here for a stroll."

Seeing that Zhang Nan and the three were very interested in this kind of car trunk market, John gave an enthusiastic introduction on the side.

Unlike the street market in the United States, the British set up the stalls directly next to the car, and if possible, they will put the foldable table, but a few even put the goods directly on the open trunk and the roof of the car. That's it-this reminds Zhang Nan of those car vendors in China who drove their cars more than 20 years later, fighting with the city management to sell clothes, shoes, bags, and blankets.

It sells everything here, not just second-hand goods: an old gentleman sells vegetables, and Zhang Nan looks very fresh. It is said that the stall owner picked them from his yard this morning and sold them.

There are more than ten kinds of cucumbers, radishes, small gourds, potted spices, mint leaves, green onions, and coriander. The wife of the stall also sells his own homemade jam.

And it can be seen that the couple's business is good today. There are a lot of empty cardboard boxes on the side, which seems to have sold a lot.

Seeing someone eating a cucumber directly, Zhang Nan also bought four: the stall owner said that they had been cleaned and they could be eaten directly.

One person eats a cucumber and eats a gourd. It seems that the habit of going to the market while eating is all over the world. The country is not so particular about it.

Unlike London, it is unlikely to see someone gnawing cucumbers on the street, at most eating a hamburger while walking.

Zhang Nan likes to visit this second-hand market. Not only can he find something, he also feels like going to a market (called "communication" in his hometown in Yanxian), kind.

I heard from John that such a market usually starts at 7 o'clock in the morning and ends at 1 o'clock at noon. However, some stall owners will close their stalls early because they have to rush to other cities or small towns to rush to the afternoon market.

Because the "car trunk market" in some cities only starts in the afternoon, the more professional and semi-professional stall owners will go to other places to set up stalls just like rushing to the market.

At this time, Zhang Nan saw a professional: a young man put all kinds of tools on the big plastic sheet next to the car, most of which were electric tools. There were new ones and second-hand ones. The stall owner is planning to close the stall and move the goods, and it is estimated that he will go to the next venue.

Looking from the east to the west, there are even selling second-hand strollers here!

John had good courage today, and he quickly found what he needed: he spent 3 pounds to buy two plates of the famous British brand "Royal Albert" and said that he could get it back as a set.

The British are more rigorous. If you accidentally break a set of brand-name porcelain at home, if you have a chance, you will think about matching them~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In such a luggage market, you can often get them—— Even if you can't find a lid for a teacup, you may find a lid of the same model here and get it back to match.

Zhang Nan is not interested in new things. Fortunately, there are many items that can barely be regarded as antiques. For example, there are stalls that sell British silverware from various periods.

Zhang Nan saw that a set of sterling silver spoons was very good, and he seemed a little old looking at the pattern.

The list price is just a little more than the price of international silver, not too expensive. I picked it up and saw that the handle of each spoon had the same coat of arms, and I didn't understand it for a long time.

John also picked up one and looked at it: "I don't see it, the heraldry of silverware is too complicated to understand."

The stall owner said it was from the Queen Victoria period, and it should be a product from a factory in London.

It's not expensive anyway, so Zhang Nan bought it and chatted with the stall owner.

The stall owners who have made the business are very enthusiastic and have a lot of money! Crackling introduced a lot of knowledge about British silverware to three Asian tourists, and Zhang Nan's brain almost got knotted! (To be continued.)
