"Mr. Zhou, how are you resting?" Early the next morning, the sun was slowly rising, and the weather in Tokyo was like a steamer in the summer, even if it was just past seven o'clock, and the air was already filled with a hint of dreary and hot heat.

As soon as Zhou Mingluo stepped out of the villa, Maori Kogoro at the door bent down respectfully and came closer, with a flattering smile on his face.

However, unlike Maori Kogoro's flattery, there was still a trace of shock and doubt in the eyes of the other two young gunmen in straight suits at the door.

Last night, Mori Kogoro stabbed himself twice, which they had seen with their own eyes, but then ...... Mr. Maori seems to be nothing, what to do, not at all like he is injured, isn't this a living hell? Even this thing stood outside the door like them, keeping vigil all night, and there was really no sign of serious injury.

They didn't dare to ask, and they didn't know if Mori Kogoro came out after bandaging in the villa, but even if he bandaged it, this person's endurance was too strong, right? Standing there all night without the slightest sign of decay, but getting more and more energetic, this is another miracle.

"Not bad." Zhou Mingluo didn't care about the doubts of the other two young gunmen, he just smiled and nodded at Maori Kogoro.

It was also afterwards that Zhang Beiwang, who also walked out of the bedroom, smiled and said, "Boss, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Zhou's first time in Tokyo, if there is anything you want to go, I will arrange it immediately." Mori Kogoro nodded as soon as he heard this.

Zhou Mingluo was stunned, Tokyo, he was really here for the first time. I only arrived yesterday, and this time I came to give the krait and the little brown bear a rest. So it's impossible to leave right away, and once he's idle, he's really a little idle. "Do you have any recommendations?"

Feeling that the days suddenly became a little boring, Zhou Mingluo looked at Mao Li with a smile, and that one seemed to have been prepared, and when Xiao Zhou asked, he immediately smiled and waved his hand, and someone outside came over quickly with three notebooks.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard Aoki mention that you like antiques, and these booklets are the roster of the last three auctions. The lots from the auction are recorded on it, so you can take a look at them if you want. After taking the notebook, Maori Kogoro smiled and spoke, bent his waist at 90 degrees, held the notebook high with both hands and handed it to Zhou Mingluo, the posture was really like a tribute.

Maori Kogoro did his homework this time, and he didn't shoot well yesterday, and he almost displeased the big boss, so he inquired about Aoki Asano very much in the evening. It's about the boss's preferences and so on, so this preparation can be regarded as a good one.

"Auction?" Zhou Mingluo's eyes lit up, and he took a few books with a smile and began to flip through them.

The first auction showed that it was this morning.

But it was a jewelry auction. Of course, there is no shortage of antiques in these jewels, such as a lot number. It is the Astrakhan crown of the 17th century, made of pure gold. Set with 45 diamonds, 36 rubies. 21 sapphires, 37 emeralds and 51 pearls from the Strait of Hormuz.

Such a thing is both a collection of jewelry and an antique.

After all, it symbolized royal power, and the Astrakhan Han state was also part of the Golden Horde, which in turn was one of the four khanates of the Great Mongol Empire.

This meaning naturally has different definitions in the eyes of different people.

Turning the pages one by one, Zhou Mingluo was not very interested in this jewelry auction, or that sentence, even if these are antiques, they also contain a literary atmosphere, but the price of the things that appear in the auction is often higher than the market price, even if he wants to take it back and absorb the literary atmosphere, he will not buy it from that channel, unless it is something he is interested in, he will start.

After reading this booklet directly, he still didn't find anything exciting, so he decisively chose to give up.

The second book is an antique auction tomorrow, but it doesn't seem like it's worth selling, and the third book is basically the same.

After all, now Xiao Zhou's vision is also high, his own antique shop has become a scale, there is no shortage of small things or something, and what can make him excited is basically the top goods in the eyes of ordinary people.

Seeing the end, Zhou Mingluo smiled helplessly, "Forget about these auctions, in this way, you can take me to visit the antique shop or something." ”

Although the auction is not very interesting, it is not bad to visit the antique market in a cosmopolitan city, and he is idle anyway.

As soon as he heard this, Maori Kogoro immediately said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

A little arrangement is very fast, there is Maori Kogoro, the head snake, who can also act as a translator, Zhou Mingluo then simply had breakfast, and went out with Maori and Zhang Beiwang, as for Aoki Asano, he stayed in the villa.

"Mr. Zhou, the antique market in Japan is a little different from your country,......" Mori Kogoro in the driver's seat also explained.

The biggest difference between Japan's antique market and China is that there are few clusters of antique shops, in China, almost every large city has a professional antique street, a street is almost all antique shops or stalls, such as Beijing's Panjiayuan, Tianjin's Shenyang Road, etc., and even Xinchuan, Zhongzhou and other places also have antique shops gathered in antique cities.

But it's hard to find a place in Tokyo where antique shops are clustered.

Even if there is a shop in a street in this district, it may be two, and there is a street in another district, and some of them are extremely remote, and you can't find them at all without acquaintances to lead the way.

Only on certain days will there be an antique market that gathers together, and this kind of market is like a market in the countryside in China, and there will be a market every once in a while, such as the flea market opened near the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office every Sunday, which is very large, and there is an area that belongs to the category of antiques, but today it is not among them, there is no market today, and it is not a weekend.

After explaining it somewhat, Kogoro Mori smiled and said, "In Sekoda Ward, there is an old shop that is quite famous, and it is said that there are a lot of good things in it, but I haven't been there before." ”

"Yes." The explanation over there also made Zhou Mingluo smile and nod, but he also sighed in his heart, fortunately there was a local snake leading the way, otherwise when he got here, it would still be a problem if he really wanted to visit the antique market, he really didn't know that there was no antique shop gathering place here in Tokyo.

The shops here are all scattered.

In the past, he only knew that the scope of antiques business in Japan was roughly the same as that in China, roughly divided into porcelain, woodware, ancient calligraphy and painting, clocks and watches, cameras, and miscellaneous, which was the same as China's porcelain, furniture, calligraphy and painting, and coins, but there were also differences.

There are also Japanese antiques according to different origins, and are divided into antiques and foreign antiques, the meaning is very clear, and antiques are antiques within the Japanese family, and the latter is a foreign product.

In fact, he also knew about this classification in the previous auction book.

The car drove along the street, and after more than an hour, I don't know how many turns it made halfway, and finally drove into an extremely remote and quiet alley, which once again made Zhou Mingluo dumbfounded, this place is really remote enough, I'm afraid it is impossible for ordinary people to find it by themselves.

He suddenly had a sense of absurdity, and when he came here by car, it didn't feel like going to an antique store, but like an old house in the streets and alleys of China.

"Mr. Zhou, here, although this antique shop is located in a remote location, it is the most famous in Shigutian District, and it is usually only possible to come here with acquaintances." Xiao Zhou sighed, and Maori Kogoro also got out of the car with a smile, and the car was parked in front of an old mansion in the depths of the alley.

Zhou Mingluo also has a trace of expectation in his heart, the most famous store in Sekoda Ward should be worth looking forward to, after all, Sekoda Ward is a gathering place for the rich in Tokyo, and it is also the second largest and most populous area in all administrative regions of Tokyo, ranking first here, which should be good.

And there are two or three other cars here at the moment, and it seems that business here is really good, after all, it is only eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and it is not a special day.

"Yes, go in and have a look." Nodding with a smile, Kogoro Maori closed the door and stepped forward, gently closing the door.

Then there was a sound of footsteps inside, and the door was opened by a boy in a kimono, wearing a simple costume and matching an old house, which really made people feel as if they had suddenly returned from a modern metropolis to hundreds of years ago.

"Smimarseille ......"

Maori Kogoro stepped forward to communicate, and he responded respectfully, Zhou Mingluo didn't understand, and he didn't care about it, and after saying a few words, the young man bowed down in Japanese to welcome, and the three of them also walked into the courtyard calmly.

The courtyard is not big or small, about 100 square meters, the courtyard is planted with cherry blossom trees, the ancient wooden structure, people can't help but see the eyes, the wooden house, there are two halls on the left and right The door is wide open, facing the scorching sun.

"Sir, on the left is an antique, and on the right is a foreign antique." Mori Kogoro also pointed to the two halls in front of him.

"Go to the right." Zhou Mingluo smiled, and then walked along the corridor to the right, and when he approached, he found that there were already three or four figures inside.

When you enter the hall, there are about 50 square meters of hall, plates, cups and bottles are colorful, and there are a large number of transparent glassware, in the Japanese antique industry glassware is called material, most of them are sold in sets, almost one of the items that every antique store must operate, and there is a large number of Western-style coffee sets, lampstands and other utensils.

When the three of them came in, several men and women who were watching and playing inside also glanced over, but they only glanced back and ignored them, and Xiao Zhou San also walked around the side under the guidance of the kimono boy.

followed Zhou Mingluo and found that what was placed in a very eye-catching position on the left side turned out to be a toy car in a wooden box.

The toy car is not big, it looks like an aluminum shell, the workmanship is very simple, and it looks like it is some years old, but this thing is placed in the antique store, which really makes Zhou Mingluo have a little eye pain.

He can only sigh that the concepts formed by different nationalities are really very different. (To be continued.) )
