Shi Jin's eyelids jumped. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If this kind of life can only be solved by habit...... It's also a great challenge for him!
A group of young people stood on the streets of New York in an unfamiliar place, and the excitement of letting off the wind gradually dissipated, but a touch of confusion turned to the hearts of everyone.
This person is unfamiliar with the place, where should they go?
Since Meng Dongyue recommended himself as a tour guide, of course he had to take responsibility at this time.
He thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "Do you want to go shopping, or do you want to go to a place related to your profession?"
Hey, that sounds like a bit of a thing.
"What is the place related to our major?" Yu Bin asked everyone's curiosity.
Yu Bin is the apprentice of Li Wenji's expert, and he has met Meng Dongyue a few times, and he has a bit of friendship with each other, so it is much more convenient to talk than others.
"Everyone is a scholar, and the place related to our profession is naturally the street where antiques are sold. Meng Dongyue blinked his eyes slyly.
Everyone was immediately interested.
They have visited a lot of antique streets in China, and that's how they come and go. But they really haven't seen this foreign antique street!
"Is there an antique street in New York?" Yu Bin said excitedly.
"Sort of. Meng Dongyue said with a smile, "The streets that sell antiques abroad do not have the name of 'antique street' in our country, which is a relatively regular street." However, their streets have also formed a certain size, so over time, these streets have become famous along with the things they specialize in. ”
"Then let's go and see!" a group of people were eager to try.
Meng Dongyue nodded with a smile, and led a group of people in a certain direction.
It can be seen that Meng Dongyue is really familiar with this piece.
Moreover, the antique street in New York that he was talking about was obviously not far from the hotel where they were.
Otherwise, Meng Dongyue would not have chosen to take them over on foot.
As we walked, we also commented on the architectural style of New York. After about ten minutes, everyone arrived at the antique street that Meng Dongyue said.
The name of this street is Macyerson Street, and the whole street sells all kinds of works of art from ancient times to the present day.
Moreover, a large part of the art sold on MacArson Street is actually art from the East.
To be more specific, in fact, they are from China.
This is caused by irreversible historical reasons, which make today's Chinese people still feel righteous indignation when they think about it.
From the perspective of categories, the classification of foreign antiques is actually similar to that of domestic ones. The big gap is probably that among the Western antiques, some of the antiques that have been handed down because of the special history are not available in China.
Among Chu Ning and the others, except for Shi Jin, everyone is a student of appraisal, and they naturally have some understanding of Western antiques.
If nothing else, the classification of Western antiques cannot be wrong.
In fact, like Oriental antiques, Western antiques are also divided into several major categories, such as porcelain, bronze, jade, furniture, jewelry, etc. It's just that whether it is the firing technique or the artistic style, there is a big difference between Eastern and Western antiques.
As soon as you walk into MacArson Street, you will be faced with the exotic antique furnishings on the street, and everyone's eyes will be a little overwhelmed.
Shi Jin quietly gave Meng Dongyue a look.
Meng Dongyue immediately understood.
He pursed the corners of his lips, but still took the initiative to greet everyone and said: "McYerson Street is very famous in New York, and there are many foreigners who come here every day to visit and shop, and their identities are different, so the New York authorities still attach great importance to the security here." Even if you are not familiar with it, as long as you don't casually sell antiques, you will not lose much, and you can go shopping with confidence. There are so many people, and the classification of favorite antiques is probably not so consistent, so why don't you go shopping separately?"
As soon as this suggestion came out, everyone immediately nodded in response.
They may have good friends with each other, but with such a large group of people, it is obvious that not all of them are familiar with each other.
If you can walk separately, everyone will feel more comfortable.
Besides, they can be accepted as apprentices by appraisal experts such as Chu Yingluo, and they have also been taken out of the country, and their English speaking skills are still good. Not to mention anything else, at least in the area of their major, it is not too difficult to communicate with foreigners.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Meng Dongyue explained the time of the gathering to everyone and began to group into groups.
The apprentices of expert Li Wenji and expert Sun Yuanfan left in teams, leaving Meng Dongyue, Chu Ning, and Shi Jin still in place.
This time, Meng Dongyue turned a blind eye to Shi Jin's wild eyes, and said to Chu Ning aggrievedly: "Little junior sister, you see that they are all gone, and there are only three of us left." You and Ah Jin will definitely not leave me alone, right?"
Just kidding, if he dares to let the little junior sister and Ah Jin be alone, how can he explain to the master after returning to the hotel?!
If he can help them send the other four away, he is already benevolent!
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to keep his image in front of Chu Ning, Shi Jin would have been eager to kick Meng Dongyue to the edge of the sky on the spot!
Doesn't he even know how flashing this light bulb is?!
In this broad daylight, even the sun above their heads is not as bright as Meng Dongyue's light bulb!
Chu Ning didn't care about this.
She didn't expect Meng Dongyue to bring them to such a place before, but now that she is here, of course she wants to go shopping, and it is impossible for her to be in the mood to go shopping with Shi Jin like a little couple for the time being.
Whether Meng Dongyue wants to act with them or not does not have much impact.
"Senior Brother Meng, you can follow us. Chu Ning said indifferently, and stretched out his hand to point to the oil painting shop next to him, "I haven't studied Western oil paintings very carefully before, now that I met them today, why don't we go over and have a look together?"
Meng Dongyue immediately smiled and nodded again and again.
Shi Jin unconditionally followed Chu Ning's wishes.
Chu Ning took the lead and walked over, while Shi Jin and Meng Dongyue fell behind.
Taking advantage of Chu Ning's lack of attention, Shi Jin raised his foot and stepped on Meng Dongyue's instep, and then crushed it hard!
"Shhh
Meng Dongyue bent down in pain, almost jumping up without holding his feet!
A hint of pride flashed in Shi Jin's eyes.
Hmph, this is the end of making a light bulb to disturb other people's love!
"What's wrong?" Chu Ning was startled when he heard Meng Dongyue's screams, and hurriedly turned around and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay. Shi Jin immediately stepped forward, grabbed Meng Dongyue's arm, straightened his waist, and then grinned at Chu Ning, "Meng Dongyue accidentally walked on a crutch, and he actually stepped on his right foot with his left foot, doesn't it hurt to step on it!"
