Chapter 550: The Big Plate That Was Treated
Zhang Nan loves the city, the old white houses, and the lukewarm, sunny, temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It doesn't matter if you can't swim in the sea, you're a landlubber; Zhang Nan is not afraid of the cold, but he really hates the heat!
Europeans in the north like to come to Ibiza the most, especially in summer, because there is plenty of sunshine here, and Zhang Nan hates to bask in the sun in summer!
Why is it annoying?
Compared with the black African in the middle of summer, the big solar energy in the hometown of Yan County can reach 389 or 40 degrees in cool places, and the hair is dried early.
Nowadays, it is lukewarm, and you can still walk around the old part of the city and see the exotic atmosphere.
But I didn't plan to live on the island, little Charlie's luggage was put on the "Star", there were 5 rooms on the ship, and the saloon area could make seven or eight bodyguards together for one night, anyway, the weather was neither hot nor cold, and even the air conditioning didn't need to be turned on.
Walking down the side street, Charlize Theron asked, "Brother Allen, let's go to your island tomorrow morning, can we play all night in the bar?"
The most famous bar on the island is DC10, one of the most popular bars in the world, which is open all night every day.
However, Zhang Nan directly denied: "No, find a restaurant by the sea for dinner, and then take you to the bar for a few hours, and you must return to the yacht before two o'clock in the morning."
Children can't stay up all night, and both of these are exceptions for you. ”
Zhang Nan has long passed the chic psychological age of going to the "young man's bar", and it is almost the same to sit down in an old-fashioned American bar.
However, DC10 has been able to enter the top 20 of the world's bar rankings in the past few years, and later maintained this ranking for more than 30 years.
As for the ranking, who decides?
Don't care, is this important?
......
The ranking of the bar is not important, but the important thing is to eat - Zhang Nan has always thought that eating is not active and there is a problem with the brain!
There are good seafood restaurants near the marina, which will be the off-season for tourism, and you don't need to order food before, just go in.
A group of wealthy people enter the semi-open restaurant, where there are also large long tables, and many tourists who come here during the peak season like to be lively and will eat at the same big table with strangers.
Ordering is to eat whatever you want, Zhang Nan likes all kinds of food with shells, prawns, shellfish are indispensable, and Spanish characteristics of the big pot paella.
The old rule reminds restaurants that no vinegar can be put in any dish, and neither can European fruit vinegar.
When all the food is served, there are many people and good appetites, and this amount must be indispensable, and it looks spectacular, especially the shrimp and shellfish the size of the cow.
A big meal, after eating, go for a swing.
Ibiza has a medieval castle defense system, known locally as the "High City", and there are several small streets selling handicrafts near the castle district.
Zhang Nan doesn't like to go shopping, but he likes to visit historic sites and characteristic old markets, especially with a pleasing little girl.
There is also a second-hand market for second-hand goods, which Zhang Nan favorites.
Even in the off-season, there are still some tourists in the market, and if it is in the high season, it is estimated that the people here can be crowded together.
As with almost all second-hand antiques markets in Europe, there is a mix of new, second-hand, thrift, antiques, everything.
Zhang Nan just looked at the flowers, and he didn't have the seriousness to visit the flea market in the European continent at all.
Little Charlie saw Zhang Nan's lively expression, so she asked: "Brother Allen, you said you wanted to come here to see, why didn't you like it?"
Zhang Nan smiled and said: "This is an island, so many tourists come every year, do you think there will be good things here? Most of them are goods shipped from other places, just take a look." ”
In the off-season, there are not as many stalls as shops, but it can also allow tourists to have a leisurely stroll.
There are mainly handicrafts with Spanish characteristics, and there are a lot of small second-hand old goods, and there are no large items.
Zhang Nan is right, the island, how do you let tourists take away large items?
After wandering around for a while, I even found North African-style bronze products, which merchants sell whatever they wanted: it's not far from Morocco and Algeria, and it's not uncommon for tourists to buy some North African-style crafts.
Xiao Nizi originally had $5,000 in pocket money, but in the United States, Canada, and Xiangjiang before, where she didn't spend money at all, the big consumption on the island a few days ago was arranged by James and the two of them, and they spent more than $100 at the hippie market.
This will be Xiao Charlie's wealth, the second-hand market is full of gadgets at a cheap price, good-looking and distinctive, Xiao Nizi has a posture of buying and buying, and she must spend her own money.
"Why don't you let us pay?"
Zhang Nan asked.
This group of people has just entered a thrift store that mainly sells Spanish ceramics, and more than 10 bodyguards are posing on the side street in front of the store, and two of them are still holding souvenirs that Xiao Nizi bought before, and there are several large bags and small bags.
The store followed up with Guan Xingquan, Lin Ming and Alyosha, otherwise there would be too many people and the small store would not be crowded at all.
"I'm going to buy it back and give it away, it's not good to spend your money. ”
"Do you have my share?"
Zhang Nan asked with a smile.
"What do you say?"
There is only one elderly shopkeeper in his 70s in the store, Guan Xingquan and they can see that the shopkeeper is just an old businessman after they come in, this will be in addition to Lin Ming still staring at the shopkeeper's actions, Guan Xingquan and Alyosha both laughed and listened to the conversation between Charlie and Zhang Nan.
In this way, it is obvious that everyone will also have a share: Xiao Nizi can't use the things that Zhang Nan bought with money, and return them to Zhang Nan when she turns around, right?
The elderly shopkeeper can also understand English, and five customers know that good business is coming in as soon as they come in - I have been in store here for decades, and I have seen too many people, and I have seen countless times with bodyguards.
Although you can still see a group of bodyguards outside through the window, it is not surprising that some foreign dignitaries come here with a bigger pomp than this one.
But the private rich oh, and bring a beautiful girl, good business!
The old shopkeeper greeted Zhang Nan warmly, and little Charlie really liked the beautiful ceramics here: after giving it away, it is not only practical, but also can be put at home as furnishings.
You can see that the owner of this ceramics shop is a man of heart, there are many styles of ceramics, some with an I-S-Lan flavor, probably North African products, and the store is not entirely Spanish Valencian porcelain.
There are many new ones, there are also a lot of second-hand goods, and some of them look like they are one or two hundred years old.
Since Xiao Nizi buys it, the big men will follow, and it is also fun to watch the old shopkeeper enthusiastically recommend his own goods and bargain with Xiao Nizi.
Xiao Nizi seems to be a natural bargain master, although I don't know whether it's expensive or affordable, as long as she's happy.
Chinese porcelain is the first in the world, and Spain is the second largest ceramic producer in Europe after Italy, and there is an old saying in the European ceramic industry: Italian design, Spanish quality.
In fact, the Spanish ceramic design also reflects the European delicacy and spirituality, especially the color can be described as colorful and beautiful, very beautiful.
Valencia, which is across the sea from Ibiza Island and not far away, is also known as the "porcelain capital of Europe", and is the most famous ceramic production area in Spain, concentrating more than 80% of Spain's ceramic production.
There are still some old black and white photos on the wall of the store, Zhang Nan looked at them, it seems to be a record of the shopkeeper's travel around the world when he was young - the background of the photo is the Empire State Building in the United States, the Statue of Freedom and Freedom, the Stonehenge in the United Kingdom, the Blue Mosque in Turkey...
Still a fun-loving one.
"Boss, your plate is good, big enough, it seems to be a little old. ”
Zhang Nan pointed to a huge blue and white disk placed in the display case and asked: This thing looks like it has a diameter of 45 cm, which is super large.
When the old shopkeeper heard the owner's question, he glanced at it and said, "Oh, that plate is a bit old."
In '47 I traveled to Turkey and bought a beautiful Turkish I-S-Lan market in a market, which cost me $50 at that time. ”
At this point, the tone became a little emotional: "Like me, this plate has become an old man." Take it out for ventilation, people have thought a lot about it at this age in the past two years. ”
This display case is different from the other merchandise cabinets in the store, it seems to be the owner's own collection of souvenirs, there are a lot of bits and pieces, and there are some beautiful old photos in it.
And listening to this, it seems that this cabinet has only been put in the store in the last year or two.
Xiao Nizi had already selected a lot of porcelain, and when she heard this, she walked to the showcase where Zhang Nan was looking.
"This plate is so beautiful! Boss, sell it to me. ”
The old man shook his head and said with a smile, "This honorable young lady, this is a display. ”
Other porcelain in the store is converted into dollars for a few dollars to dozens of dollars a piece, and new porcelain cannot be said to be expensive or cheap.
Is this one for sale?
Xiao Nizi is not happy!
"Boss, you said you bought it for only $50, so I'll pay 500!"
The old man still smiled and shook his head.
Zhang Nan said with a smile on the side: "Charlie, $50 40 ago is worth more than $500 now." ”
Don't make a fuss, the shopkeeper won't sell it to you.
"That 5,000!"
Xiao Nizi is unhappy, very unhappy!
Even if the shopkeeper is a lot older, he is also a little moved.
$5,000 is a lot of money in Spain.
"Little Charlie, do you have 5,000 yuan in pocket money? Buy a plate and beware of your mother scolding you to death!"
As soon as she heard Zhang Nan's words, Xiao Nizi looked like a scoundrel, "I don't care, Brother Allen, I want this plate......!
The hippie outfit, the beautiful but still immature face, like a rich lady who has been a little spoiled.
Zhang Nan was helpless, shrugged his shoulders helplessly to the shopkeeper, with a helpless expression towards the little girl.
"Uncle Alyosha, lend me 500 yuan. ”
Xiao Nizi was determined to buy it, and found the big guy who hurt her.
The bodyguard looked at the boss and found that Zhang Nan had no objection, so he took out his wallet from his pocket and ordered 5 Franklin cards to Charlize Theron.
Now Xiao Nizi was happy, and took out her small leather bag from the big pocket of her exaggerated imitation leather windbreaker, which still had more than 4,700 US dollars in it.
She left some change, plus the 500 yuan that Alyosha lent her, all to the shopkeeper.
A large pile of other porcelain adds up to about $200 and a fraction, which is more than $5,200.
The boss met such a wayward customer, it was a rich lady in the rebellious period, since the price was attractive, then sold, although he was still a little reluctant to buy the exotic market when he was young.
Zhang Nan's face was a little helpless, and in the eyes of the shopkeeper, he was obviously helpless against this little sister of a different race.
After buying and packing things, then leave.
The old shopkeeper sent 5 people out of the store before returning, and after Zhang Nan and his group walked out for a long time, Xiao Nizi whispered to Zhang Nan: "I acted well, right?"
"Oscar-level actress!"
"Really?"
"It's more real than gold! For the sake of your performance just now, I will definitely let you take a little golden man home before you are 30 years old!"
"Cut!"
Xiao Nizi didn't care: Is the little golden man very fair?
You can smash one out with money!
The group of people chatted while walking, and Guan Xingquan asked Charlize Theron on the side: "Charlie, how did you see it just now?"
Of course, he, Alyosha and Lin Ming could see the cattiness in it, and they didn't think that the little girl would react so quickly.
Xiao Nizi pointed at Zhang Nan and said, "This is a super rich collector with super high vision." Which of the paintings and crafts in Changdao's house is not top-notch, and the antiques in Xiangjiang have a higher eye, and those who can't look at it don't open their mouths at all.
Which one of them didn't buy?
Uncle Guan, I'm a child, but I'm not stupid!"
Xiao Nizi looked proud.
Zhang Nan smiled and said, "Let's go back to the yacht first, and if you want to eat at night, I'll go with you to play all night." ”
Xiao Nizi immediately put on a "victorious" expression, and then asked, "This plate is a treasure?"
"For a lot of people, I only had one before, and there are only about 200 of them in the whole world.
Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Xiao Nizi smiled and said, "Just help me return 500 yuan to Uncle Alyosha, I have no money." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Nan couldn't help but hug Xiao Nizi, who was as tall as herself, on the street, and said, "Thank you." ”
A thank you is enough: Xiao Nizi said that she meant that the big plate was a gift she gave to Zhang Nan, although she knew that it was a good thing.
As for how much it's worth, Xiao Nizi doesn't care at all, and it's a blessing to be able to help her brother Allen.
......
If you don't open your mouth, as soon as you open your mouth, it is your favorite object, which is a way to play with antiques.
If it is a person who buys, it is often asking for the price of everything, so that the owner of the goods cannot figure out which one the buyer has a fancy.
If it is a sale, Zhang Nan no longer needs to be smart, he doesn't want to be wronged, he just likes it, and he can use money to smash it.
But that cabinet looks like it's not for sale, so you can only play a little trick, but fortunately, little Charlie has a flexible brain and is still an actor by nature!
It's not a Turkish porcelain plate at all, it's a Yuan blue and white plate!
