CHAPTER XXIX
"You ...... Foodie! Be careful to become a fat girl, you won't be able to marry in the future! "Wei Ting is very poisonous.
"Hehe, there are still seven, eight or nine years left before getting married, and we have time to lose weight."
Gan Tian smiled very thiefly: "Today we are going to eat Quanjude roast duck." ”
"Count you ruthless!" Wei Ting glared at her.
She didn't hide the fact that she got a sum of money from the Americans, but they didn't know how much it was, and they had been shouting for her to treat her, but fortunately, Wei's father and Wei's mother knew that their daughter also needed money recently, and they also left her a few thousand yuan for pocket use, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
"Qingyun, you also eat roast duck?"
"It's good ......"
Liu Qingyun nodded, a little embarrassed, but asked with some hesitation: "That Quanjude business is prosperous, can we have a place now?" ”
"Have you eaten?" Gan Tian asked.
"No, listen to my dad, their colleagues are in for a treat." Liu Qingyun said.
"Let's go check it out first, and if it doesn't work, find another way."
Wei Ting said briskly, then beckoned the two of them downstairs and took the bus to Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant...... Sure enough, the business in the store was very prosperous, and it could be said that it was full. Fortunately, there were not many people who wanted the box, and the three of them went in smoothly. Although Quanjude is a roast duck restaurant, there are also other small stir-fries, after Wei Ting ordered a roast duck, she ordered five more side dishes, which filled most of the table.
"Too much, right?" Liu Qingyun looked at the table full of dishes and said.
"Even if you eat it, it doesn't matter if you can't finish it, pack it and take it back with you, and continue to eat it at night." Wei Ting said with a grin.
Gan Tian is not polite, after washing his hands, the sliced roast duck dipped in garlic, sweet noodle sauce and other ingredients, directly stuffed into the mouth and chewed, only to feel that the fresh and fragrant taste of the duck meat has added a touch of spicy, the flavor is very unique, and people have endless aftertaste.
This meal lasted for more than an hour, and it was not over until it was very full and my stomach was a little stretched. Liu Qingyun said a lot at the beginning, but when it came to eating, the three girls' meals were not small, they were almost swept away, and finally three bottles of juice were served.
"When you're full, go shopping." Wei Ting wiped the oil stains on the corner of her mouth with a napkin and said.
"Wrong, it should be said that it is digestion." Gan Tian corrected.
The three girls have a good family background, after the exam, the family has issued pocket money, this way down, big things have not been bought, but small gadgets have been bought a lot, one bites an ice cream, was surrounded by Wei Ting, and brought into the thrift market.
Huizhou thrift market is very famous, there are not only stalls, but also many shops. Generally speaking, the strength of opening a store is definitely a little higher than setting up a stall. Of course, it doesn't mean that the things in the store are necessarily better than the ones on the stalls, but the store can put more things on display, and the probability of good things appearing is a little greater, and there are a lot of new goods, not all of which are old goods, and it is not uncommon for someone to find antiques here.
Since they are here, Gan Tian and Liu Qingyun are not opposed to shopping, the two of them are casual looks, while Wei Ting is concerned about those shops that mainly sell old books...... Generally speaking, most of the old books are set up in stalls for business, and there are few shops, but there is one at the east end of the market that sells antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and also sells used books.
"Let's go in and have a look." Wei Ting proposed.
"Do you know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting?" Gan Tian muttered, but still followed the two of them inside.
There are not many customers in the shop...... This is very normal, you must know that judging the authenticity of ancient books and calligraphy and paintings requires a very high degree of appreciation.
"Of course I don't understand calligraphy and painting, but I want to buy a calligraphy book and practice calligraphy during the holidays." Wei Ting said.
"Ah, then I'll buy a copy too, my grandfather always said that I'm not quiet, can practicing calligraphy make people quiet?" Gan Tian asked.
"Tranquilizers are the only way to calm people down." Liu Qingyun said on the side.
"Cut! Be careful, I'll put sleeping pills in your drink! Gan Tian made a very vicious expression at her...... It looks very cute.
While talking, the three of them had already come to the bookshelf that sold the stele stickers, on which were orderly placed a volume of stele stickers that exuded the smell of ink.
The so-called stele, the stele refers to the rubbings of the stone carving, and the stele refers to the famous ink of the ancients, carved on the wooden board and gathered on the stone. To put it bluntly, in the absence of photocopiers in ancient times, the ancients could only carefully print the precious tablets through very primitive techniques, either as a collection or for future generations to learn. In any case, the rubbings of the stele and the rubbings of the post are important means of disseminating culture. But in modern terms, most of them are printed, which is more convenient.
"Are you going to choose European characters or willow characters?" Gan Tian asked.
"I'm going to choose Song Huizong's thin gold body." Wei Ting said.
"Then I'll choose ......," Gan Tian frowned in thought.
"You choose Zhang Xu's wild grass, unrestrained and uninhibited, which is more suitable for your character." Wei Ting said.
"Are you complimenting me?" Gan Tian asked with his head sideways, his face full of doubt.
"Of course it's to praise you, we can't practice if we want to, and our personalities don't match." Liu Qingyun also said with a smile on the side.
"Well, that's it." Gan Tian picked a book that was better.
"How many talented women, don't you choose some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" The shopkeeper was not an old man, but a young man in his early thirties, who smiled when he spoke, but he did not hate it.
"We have pen and ink at home, and we are not calligraphers. By the way, do you have an old version of "The Stone" here? Wei Ting asked casually.
"Yes, a lot of them, there's one over there." The shopkeeper gestured to a nearby bookshelf.
Wei Ting walked over and took a look, and the entire bookshelf was full of "Dream of Red Mansions" and "The Story of Stones...... She skipped the printed ones and turned her gaze to the manuscripts.
"Boss, do you also sell this kind of defective book?" Gan Tian asked, pointing to a book with a missing corner of the cover.
"Hehe, we are an antique bookstore here, and many books are picked up from the outside, and as long as the contents are not destroyed, they can be sold as commodities." The shopkeeper replied.
"Hmm, so these are antiques?" Liu Qingyun asked suspiciously.
"Antiques can't be talked about, they're antiques." The shopkeeper corrected.
As they spoke, Wei Ting picked up the manuscript and flipped through it...... Most of these manuscripts were copied when practicing calligraphy, and some were for hobby, so some of those characters are beautiful, but some are miserable.
"Huh? It's this one! Wei Ting was overjoyed.
