On August 13, Zhang Nan and the three of them, accompanied by the real estate developer in Suffolk who helped them buy the house, set off for the small farm they had bought. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Starting from the town of Ipswich, the county of Suffolk, you can see beautiful villages and quaint country houses with a very different Chinese style on the way out of the town. These idyllic scenery with a bit of poetry, strong British towns, and farmsteads make the three of them feel the atmosphere of the British countryside and nature, which is the unique charm of the British countryside.

"It's clean!" Guan Xingquan said, looking at the scenery flashing outside the car window.

The meadows and woods in between, as well as the scattered farmhouses and livestock scattered in the meadows, give people the greatest feeling of cleanliness!

"The English countryside seems to feel very clean, and that's a big part of the climate: it's clean, but it's not as productive as ours. No matter how much we remediate it, the environmental senses can't be compared to England or Scotland. ”

Zhang Nan refers to the climatic characteristics of southeastern China, which cannot give people a "very clean" sense, no way, there are always gains and losses: the land here in Britain cannot support so many people in China, and they are said to only grow grass and not trees.

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

"Many places on both sides of the Sichuan-Tibet line also feel very clean, because of the climate. ”

Xiang Weirong interjected.

Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan both nodded, they had both seen the kind of relaxed and pleasant feeling given by snow-capped mountains and grasslands.

It had only been a few minutes since the car drove out of town, and Zhang Nan saw a large area of cars parked on a large green area on the side of the road, and there were still a lot of people, and there seemed to be a lot of stalls.

"John, is that a 'car trunk cargo sale'?"

John is the little real estate dealer, and he's the one who can drive.

"Yes, Mr. Allen. ”

"If I'm not in a hurry today, I'd like to go there and have a look first. ”

When John heard this, he said, "Of course it's no problem, I just have two broken plates at home, so I'm going to take a look." ”

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

This is where people who come to buy things park their cars, and the "stalls" are still dozens of meters away.

Interestingly, although it's purely wild, there are people who charge a fee: 20p per person who comes to buy something, and £2 for a cart if you want to set up a stall.

"Is this money used to protect these meadows?" Zhang Nan thought to himself when he took out the money: because the UK seems to grow grass everywhere, and it feels very flat, I don't know if I need to maintain it once or twice a year, apply fertilizer or something.

Four men were given a new £1 and a 20p coin was recovered.

Zhang Nan paid the money, and John was not polite.

"There is a market every Sunday, and at first people take out things that they don't need at home to sell, but now many of the people who come to set up stalls are semi-professional merchants, and some people from second-hand stores also come on their days off. What are the shortcomings of the family, you can generally buy it when you come here. ”

Seeing that Zhang Nan and the three of them were very interested in such a car trunk market, John enthusiastically introduced it on the side.

Unlike the American stall market, the British will set up stalls directly next to the car, and if possible, they will also put folding tables, but a few even put the goods directly on the open trunk and roof of the car - this makes Zhang Nan think of the car vendors in China who drove cars and fought with the city management to sell clothes, shoes, bags, and blankets more than 20 years later.

There are all kinds of goods sold here, not just old goods: there is an old gentleman who sells vegetables, Zhang Nan looks very fresh, and it is said that the stall owner picked them from his yard this morning and sold them.

There are more than 10 kinds of cucumbers, radish, small gourds, potted spices, mint leaves, green onions, and coriander, and the stall owner's wife also sells home-made jams on his side.

And it can be seen that this couple's business is good today, and there are a lot of empty cardboard boxes on the side, and it seems that a lot of them have been sold.

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

One person nibbles a cucumber directly, it seems that the habit of visiting the market while eating is all over the world, and the countryside is so exquisite.

Unlike London, it's unlikely that you'll see someone nibbling on a cucumber on the street, at most eating a hamburger while walking.

Zhang Nan likes to visit this kind of second-hand market very much, not only may you find something, but also a bit like the feeling of rushing to the market (called "exchange" in the hometown of Yan County), cordial.

John said that such a market usually starts at 7 a.m. and ends at 1 p.m., but some stall owners will close their stalls early because they have to rush to other cities or towns to catch the afternoon session.

Because the "car trunk market" in some cities only starts in the afternoon, those more professional professional and semi-professional stall owners will go to other places to set up their stalls as if they were 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 power tools, and there were new and second-hand goods. The stall owner is planning to collect the stall and move the goods, and it is estimated that he will go to the next yard.

Looking around, there are even second-hand strollers for sale here!

John had good courage today, and quickly found what he needed: he spent 3 pounds on two plates of British porcelain "Royal Albert", saying that he could take them back and match them.

The British are more strict, and if a set of brand-name porcelain is accidentally broken one or two pieces at home, if there is a chance, they will think of matching them, which can often be matched in such a suitcase market - even if you can't find a teacup lid, you may find the same model of lid here and take it back to match.

Zhang Nan is not interested in new things, but fortunately, there are many items that can barely be regarded as antiques, such as a stall specializing in selling British silverware from various periods.

Zhang Nan saw that there was a set of sterling silver spoons that were very good, and it seemed that the pattern was a little old.

The price is only more than a cup of the international silver price, which is not expensive. When I picked it up, I saw that each spoon had the same coat of arms on the handle of the spoon, and I didn't understand it for a long time.

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

The stall owner said it was Victorian, and it was supposed to be a product from a factory in London.

Anyway, it wasn't expensive, so Zhang Nan bought it and chatted with the stall owner.

The stall owner who made the business was very enthusiastic, and he made money! Crackling and introducing a lot of knowledge of British silverware to the three Asian tourists, Zhang Nan's brain almost knotted when he heard it! )
