Chapter 303: Seeking Away from the Near
At this time, several people got on the bus, and in the process of going to the Ruins of St. Paul's, Chen Shaofeng also said some of the things he knew, anyway, this Ruins of St. Paul's belongs to one of the symbols of Macao, and it is also a must-see place for tourists to visit Macao.
Samba, that's the transliteration. The Portuguese word for Paul, in the ears of the locals, is the pronunciation of Samba. The Ruins of St. Paul's, which is actually part of St. Paul's Church. Due to the fire, most of the buildings of the church were burned down, and only one door wall remained, which is named because it resembles a Chinese torii archway.
However, the Ruins of St. Paul's is just a dilapidated building, and if it just stands there monotonously, I am afraid it will not be very popular. In fact, what really makes tourists linger is the several streets and alleys spread out of the Ruins of St. Paul's.
Around the Ruins of St. Paul's, there are rows of shops, all kinds of items are complete, dazzling, people don't know how to choose, naturally linger.
Soon after, several people came here, and the cool sports car seemed to have attracted a lot of people's side attention. Seeing the situation outside, Yu Feibai said with great interest: "Find a place to stop, let's go down and take a walk." ”
Chen Shaofeng was not interested, and even a little bored, but when he heard Yu Feibai's request, he couldn't refuse, so he casually found a place to stop the car.
After a few people got out of the car, Wang Guan noticed that there were several shops on the street that seemed to open their doors to do business in a hurry, and then looked at the time, it was already past noon. And there are not many pedestrians on the street, so it seems to be a little deserted.
Noticing Wang Guan's confused expression. Chen Shaofeng said with a smile: "The local people live a very leisurely life, the shops only open at noon, and close at five or six o'clock in the evening. However, that was the time when various entertainment venues began to open. ”
Wang Guan suddenly realized that the nightlife is so rich, no wonder he gets up so late. It is estimated that the employees who work in those entertainment venues have turned their biological clocks upside down. Sleep during the day and only move at night.
Of course, it's past noon. Shops on the streets are also opening their doors, and the number of pedestrians on the streets is gradually increasing. However, most of the people are also like Wang Guan Yu Feibai, who are tourists who come to travel. Take a curious look at the surrounding landscape.
At the same time, a few people wandered around casually, only walking for a few minutes, and there were a lot of various arts and crafts shops, including galleries and the like, but there were no antique shops.
"It's weird." Yu Feibai said inexplicably: "Didn't you say that there are a lot?" ”
"I'll find someone to inquire." Wang Guan said, and then asked a passer-by who looked like a local.
After a while, Wang Guan walked back and hesitated: "It seems to be in the alley......"
"Alley?"
Yu Feibai blinked, turned around and walked towards an alley.
The alley is very ordinary. The pavement is paved with gravel, and there are many gourmet shops on both sides. However, when they went deeper, they came across some antique shops.
"There is really a ......" Yu Feibai was overjoyed.
Next to him, Chen Shaofeng shook his head. Can't understand why he's so excited.
However, after taking a few glances, Yu Feibai frowned and wondered, "Wang Guan, it doesn't seem right." ”
"What's wrong?" Wang Guan asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"This is an antique street, according to the information I found. It is prosperous and lively, with Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, porcelain, ancient coins, lacquerware, ancient paintings, and other treasures and antiques. Yu Feibai was puzzled: "But you see that now, the whole alley is sparse and sparse, and it shouldn't be called bustling." ”
At this time, Wang Guan also looked left and right, and also found that many store doors were tightly closed, and some doors had a thick layer of dust, as if they had not been opened for a long time. Such a situation also made Wang Guan a little dazed. …,
"What a disappointment."
Yu Feibai shook his head and said: "I heard Qian Lao say that Macao is one of the important channels for the export of cultural relics from the mainland. When the four old days were broken, a large number of things were smuggled here as Chinese cabbage, and then bought by foreign collectors. Therefore, like Hong Kong, it has become a distribution center for mainland antiques lost abroad. ”
"It is for this reason that many cultural relics have been accumulated here. It stands to reason that there should be a lot of treasures left behind. But looking at this situation, it is really suspicious. ”
Yu Feibai shook his head and sighed, feeling that he had come in vain.
"You're too pessimistic." Wang Guan smiled and said, "You haven't seen it yet, how do you know that there is no treasure." Besides, the desertion of the store doesn't mean anything, at most it means that we came at the wrong time. ”
"No matter how much the antique business is divided, it won't be so cold." Yu Feibai said disapprerovingly: "You must know that in the Shudu Xianqiao Market, even during the Chinese New Year, it was nothing more than a suspension of business for two or three days, and it immediately became lively again." ”
Wang Guan was about to enlighten a few words, when he heard Chen Shaofeng urging beside him: "Since there is nothing to see, let's go back." ”
“…… Wait. ”
Yu Feibai hesitated, and said without giving up: "After walking this alley, I don't believe that every store will not be opened." ”
Facts have proved that Yu Feibai's persistence was not in vain. After walking more than ten meters, they did see an antique shop that was open.
"Hehe, I didn't run in vain." Yu Feibai perked up and rushed into the store quickly.
"Bai Shao, wait for me." Chen Shaofeng shouted and hurriedly followed.
"What's the hurry, the store won't run." Wang Guan shook his head, paid attention to the signboard of the store, and found that the words on the signboard were quite ancient......
In the next second, Wang Guan also reacted and couldn't help laughing. It seems that the three places of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan all use traditional Chinese characters, which is of course full of ancient meaning.
Subsequently, Wang Guan also walked into the store and found that the store was not very big, and there were many things piled up inside. At first glance, it may seem a little messy, but if you look closely, you will see that the things are arranged according to categories and look orderly.
In addition, Wang Guan also noticed that most of the things in this store are pictures. These drawings include not only ancient Chinese paintings, but also Western oil paintings. Each occupies one side of the storefront, and it is distinct.
Out of habit, Wang Guan ignored oil painting and directly looked at ancient Chinese painting scrolls.
At a glance, it can be said that it is a collection of famous paintings, what Qingming Shanghe Tu, Bu Yuan Tu, Luo Shen Fu Tu, Han Xizai Night Banquet Tu, Fuchun Mountain Residence Tu, Han Palace Chunxiao Tu, etc., are all ancient valuable masterpieces, rare treasures. Of course, they are all imitations, even modern works that are directly printed.
So he glanced around, and without waiting for the shopkeeper to greet him, Yu Feibai immediately turned around and left without hesitation.
"Bad luck."
After only walking a few steps out, Yu Feibai sighed in a low voice: "I didn't see it clearly, it turned out to be a handicraft shop." ”
"Craft shop?" Chen Shaofeng said inexplicably: "No, aren't those paintings just now very good, I seem to have seen them somewhere." ”
"Of course you've seen it, anyone who's ever taken an art class has seen it." Yu Feibai didn't have a good airway.
At this time, Wang Guan also walked out and chuckled: "Feibai, you are too frizzy." Hurriedly went in, and came out in a hurry, people thought you were deliberately teasing him. ”
"He's making fun of me."
Yu Feibai said with an unhappy face: "At a glance, everything is fake, why are you staying?" ”
"Who can be blamed for this?" Wang Guan smiled: "You don't want to go in again." ”
"Got it, I'll talk about it next time." Yu Feibai nodded, and sighed again: "However, the antique shops here are disappointing me more and more, could it be that the rumors of those collectors' overseas Taobao are all fictional?" ”…,
"Don't say this too early, let's talk about it first." Wang Guan smiled and continued to go deeper into the alley.
During this time, they came across two or three more shops that were open for business, but they mainly dealt in stamps and badges. Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were not interested in these things, so they directly ignored the past.
It didn't take long for the alley to come to an end.
"Alas, it's really in vain." Yu Feibai was very disappointed.
Chen Shaofeng seized the opportunity and hurriedly suggested: "Then go back." To be honest, I really don't understand what to look at with these rags. ”
"Let's go, then." Yu Feibai sighed and was about to return the same way.
"Wait, look what that is......"
At this moment, Wang Guanjian found that the corner at the end of the alley was a wide street. Above the street, a huge signboard was hung.
"Da Bao Ya play!"
Yu Feibai looked at it, and a little hope was ignited in his heart. It feels like the signboard is so big, the store shouldn't be small. At that moment, he greeted and flew away.
"Bai Shao!" Chen Shaofeng called out and couldn't help muttering: "If you want to see antiques, why bother to go far......
"How?" When Wang Guan heard it, he was a little curious: "What do you have to introduce?" ”
"The Lisboa Hotel has it." Chen Shaofeng was surprised: "It's in the hall...... Oh yes, that's the Grand Lisboa! ”
At this time, Chen Shaofeng explained: "I have been living in the old Lisboa, I am used to it, and I don't want to change places. The Grand Lisboa was built only a few years ago, and there are many treasures of the gambling king in the hall. For example, the golden mountain, the white jade cabbage, and the peacock with gilded feathers...... By the way, there are also two diamonds over 200 carats. ”
"Ugh!"
Wang Guan said with interest: "Then after you go back, you can take the time to see it." ”
"Absolutely." Chen Shaofeng said with a smile: "Anyway, if you dare to put things out, they are for people to visit." Let's not talk about it, let's catch up with Bai Shao. Wait a minute, you can help persuade him to stop running around. ”
While speaking, Chen Shaofeng couldn't help but cover his mouth and yawn, with a tired look on his face, no wonder he didn't want to go on shopping.
“…… Let's go! Wang Guan wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he still didn't say it.
It's just that I know each other, and it's not easy to talk about it, but Wang Guan really thinks that Chen Shaofeng should really be restrained, otherwise in the long run, his body that has been hollowed out by wine will definitely collapse. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
