It's sunny outside.

Zuo Yi left Nulai in the early hours of the morning, from the east coast to the west coast of America, across the North American continent, and then north to Maina, it was still just after nine o'clock local time in Domont.

On this trip to North America, he can be said to have basically achieved his goal, and now it is time to relax.

Zuo Yi planned to fly back to Hangzhou in the evening, and what he wanted to do at this moment was to fill his stomach.

As a knight of the Holy Domain, Zuo Yi can persist for several months without eating or drinking in the extreme state, and still maintain a strong life, but in normal times, he lives with three meals a day like ordinary people, and from time to time he has some supper.

Many beings who are promoted to a higher level will take the initiative to suppress or even cut off their own emotional desires, so that it is easier to break through the higher-level life sequence.

But Zuo Yi never wanted to take this path, he likes the joys and sorrows of being a human being, he likes adventure and excitement, he likes peace and happiness, he likes delicious food, and he likes to appreciate everything beautiful in the world.

Now, he just wants to have a good meal.

Well, treat yourself.

Zuo Yi is not interested in Western food, and Maina is not a food country, but he is fortunate to be in Domont's Chinatown, which has the highest density of Chinese restaurants in Myna.

Zuo Yi chose a Hong Kong Cantonese restaurant nearby, sat down to take the menu, and ordered more than a dozen Cantonese dishes and dim sum in one go.

After eating and drinking, Zuo Yi beckoned the guy to settle the bill, and asked at the same time, "Are there any shopping malls nearby?"

After all the hard work of coming to North America, he hasn't bought a gift for Bao'er yet.

You can't go back empty-handed, can you?

"The big malls are in the city center..."

The restaurant guy replied with a smile: "You can take the subway to get there, it's only five stops away, by the way, have you been to our open-air market in Fasheng?"

"Souks?"

Seeing that Zuo Yi didn't know anything, the restaurant guy introduced him very enthusiastically.

It turned out to be the largest open-air market in the whole of Domont and even in Myna, just two streets away, and the citizens of Domont and visitors alike liked to go shopping in this market because of the cheap and beautiful things and the great variety there.

Originally established by immigrants, Fasheng Souk was originally a small barter place for trading and has grown over the decades to its current size.

The prosperity of Myna Chinatown is largely due to the open-air market, where many of the stall owners are Chinese immigrants, so the restaurant guys are quite proud.

There are many antiques and antiques in the souks, and someone once paid ten dollars to find a porcelain vase that was used as a lampholder, and then it was identified as a rare treasure from an official kiln, and it fetched tens of millions of dollars at Sotheby's.

"You can try your luck. ”

The guy at the restaurant instigated: "Maybe you'll pick up a big leak of money." ”

Zuo Yi couldn't help laughing, and stuffed a hundred-dollar bill to him as a tip: "Accept your good words." ”

Bidding farewell to the smiling restaurant guy, Zuo Yi followed the other party's instructions and soon found the Fasheng open-air market.

The restaurant guy is not exaggerating, the area of this open-air market is really very large, all kinds of stalls are placed out and you can't see the end at a glance, and countless tourists and pedestrians shuttle among them, a noisy and lively scene.

Zuo Yi walked all the way over with interest, looking for a suitable target.

To buy a gift for a little girl, you don't necessarily have to go to the boutique counter of the big shopping mall, there are countless stalls here, there is no shortage of some unique objects, and it is also a good choice to pick a few to go back.

Soon, he stopped in front of a stall.

Pointing to an ornament on the stall, Zuo Yi asked in English, "How do you sell this thing?"

It is a cast iron sculpture, about 30 centimeters high, with a human standing and roaring female bear and two round bears at her feet.

The shape of the mother bear is very rough, similar to the style of the original statue, while the two cubs are very detailed and lifelike.

Zuo Yi took a fancy to this sculpture because it had a "soul".

The master's work must have a soul, and this "soul" is the condensation of emotion and inspiration, and is the essence of the master's work.

A work without a soul, no matter how beautiful it is, is just a craftsman's work.

Zuo Yi is a part-time rune master, and his eyesight is far beyond the ability of ordinary people, although this thing is inconspicuous in a pile of miscellaneous things, it can't escape his sharp eyes.

The stall owner is an old Mo, an immigrant from Gomo, the third largest country in North America, who wears a trademark amorous hat and his small eyes are shrewd.

In response to Zuo Yi's inquiry, he smiled and raised an index finger.

"A dollar?"

Zuo Yi raised his eyebrows: "I want it." ”

“NONO！”

The old ink stall owner immediately became anxious, and shouted in broken English: "One hundred, one hundred dollars!"

The people of Daxia are rich, and the tourists in Daxia are even richer, Zuo Yi is the kind of rich Daxia tourists at a glance, who do not slaughter for nothing.

"Deal. ”

Zuo Yi immediately dropped a large bill and took the female bear sculpture.

The old ink stall owner was stunned when he grabbed the dollar bill, and he immediately realized that he was very likely to be tricked by Zuo Yi.

This sculpture was found when he was digging through old goods, and it only cost five dollars, and a hundred dollars was already nearly twenty times the profit, but seeing Zuo Yi make such a happy deal, he felt that he had suffered a big loss.

It's just that when he wanted to repent, Zuo Yi had already gotten up and left.

The more the old ink stall owner thought about it, the more unwilling he became, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, stared at Zuo Yi's back and muttered a lot of words.

Zuo Yi didn't know about the small movements of the old ink stall owner, and he continued to sweep the stalls in the open-air market.

Suddenly, a cowboy man with a wooden box in his hand slanted through the crowd and happened to collide with a woman in a goose yellow dress in front of Zuo Yi.

"Ahh

The woman in the long skirt exclaimed, and one stumbled and almost fell.

Syllable!

At the same time, there was the sound of wooden boxes falling to the ground and bottles cracking.

This wooden box contains a blue and white porcelain vase, which was broken into pieces with the box, and it can't stick back with instant noodles!

“OMG！”

The cowboy man put his head in his hands and let out a desperate cry, his eyes glazed over the debris on the ground, and he wanted to cry without tears.

The woman in the long skirt subconsciously apologized: "I'm sorry." ”

"Excuse me?"

The cowboy seemed to have been seriously stimulated, he waved his arms and roared loudly, his face hideous: "Do you know how much this blue and white vase is?

The woman in the long skirt turned red: "No, I didn't hit it." ”

"It's not who you are!"

The cowboy yelled, "You have to pay!"

There were a lot of people around to watch the excitement, and many people understood what was going on at a glance.

But no one was nosy, or stood up to help the woman in the long skirt say a word.
