Chapter 288 Preparation

The night is as cool as water, the small antique street has long been free of daytime noise, and most of the shops have no lights, but Gu Xuanzhai is an exception, although Qian Fang and others have left, there are still people inside.

"Whoa......

Because it's quiet, the sound of pouring tea that you can't usually hear at all sounds unusually clear.

"Brother Fang Ming, do you really want to go out?"

Jiang Wen looked at Fang Ming with a blank look, obviously quite reluctant.

"Well, you always have to go out and see it."

Drinking the hot tea in his mouth, Fang Ming was refreshed, going out for a walk was a plan he had already had. When chatting with Qian Fang and others before, he joked that now Ningdong City is no longer able to pick up leaks and wants to try his luck outside, which is of course an important reason, but it is more important to go out and see what the outside world is like.

"That'...... I'm going out too? ”

Before Jiang Wen finished speaking, she was weak first, her face turned red all of a sudden, and her head lowered.

Under the light, seeing Jiang Wen like this, Fang Ming's heart couldn't help but waver, thinking that if he went out with Jiang Wen, there would definitely be a chance to eat her on the way-this is clearly a little sheep with white flowers.

"Humph! What do you think! ”

Zhou Yafang stretched out her hand, in Fang Ming's eyes! One! Root! Read! The novel shook several times in front of the xstxt, covering his vision, obviously seeing that Fang Ming's gaze at Jiang Wen was not very pure.

"Heh......"

Fang Ming laughed a few times, then shook his head and said, "No, this time I go out alone, the place I'm going to must be relatively remote, and it's not convenient to take you with me." ”

Although he also wanted to take Jiang Wen with him, Fang Ming still sensibly refused, he was out of the house, and he was not going to travel, in order to collect antiques, he might have to go to the barren mountains and wilderness, how could he bring Jiang Wen with him?

"I ......"

Jiang Wen raised her head, her eyes were full of disappointed expressions, seeing that Fang Ming's heart couldn't help but tremble, she was almost about to agree, and finally shook her head firmly.

Jiang Wen gritted her teeth and didn't say anything more, she knew that Fang Ming had already made up her mind, and it was useless to say more, the key was that Fang Ming was not wrong, it was indeed inconvenient to go out with her.

Zhou Yafang had gone out before, and she had encountered hooligans on the way, if she hadn't happened to meet Fang Ming, the consequences would have been really unimaginable, so she would never have let Jiang Wen go out with Fang Ming - even if Fang Ming agreed, she wouldn't agree.

"Okay, you can go out for a walk, but be careful, everything will happen in our business."

Zhou Yafang has much more experience in this area.

"Hey!"

Fang Ming raised his right hand, made a toned movement, and then said: "When you go out, the most fearful thing is that there are people who can't open your eyes to find trouble, Lao Tzu, I can fight like this, there is no problem." ”

Zhou Yafang nodded when she heard this, it is indeed the case, Fang Ming can fight, there should not be much problem when he goes out, and more importantly, Fang Ming's brain is also very good.

"Okay, then you can go out after the treasure appraisal conference. Gu Xuanzhai's new bunk on Dongcheng Street will be handed over to me and Jiang Wenxing, and you must have already made it when you come back, you are waiting to be the shopkeeper who shakes your hands. ”

The matter on the side of the new store has always been handled by Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen, and Fang Ming does not have to interfere, which is also one of the important reasons why he dares to go out with confidence.

"Okay, I'm going to get ready, I'm going out this time to bring some more."

Fang Ming didn't want to go out with too much money, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to take it out, he didn't know when he would encounter antiques, and it was impossible to swipe a credit card or anything like that, so it was better to go out with cash, and he should bring a lot of it.

Although Zhou Yafang was a little worried about this, she still nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then let's go out with some cash, how about 50,000?" I'm ready in advance. ”

Shaking his head, Fang Ming said, "It's too little." I plan to take 200,000 yuan out, or I may not have enough money when I run into it, and now 50,000 yuan can't buy anything. ”

"But that's too conspicuous, isn't it?"

Fang Ming is right, now 50,000 yuan is indeed impossible to buy anything, especially in the antique industry, people are not stupid now, a thing can be shouted for 100,000 yuan at every turn, so how useful it is to hold 50,000 yuan on the body, except for exchanging things at the stall.

"It's okay, twenty taels of money, you can't see it outside when it's stuffed in your backpack."

Fang Ming thought for a moment and then said, "At most, just get an old backpack." ”

"It's a way."

Zhou Yafang no longer objected and agreed.

In the rest of the time, in addition to participating in Ke Liu's live broadcast, Fang Ming went to the exhibition hall and Dongcheng Street from time to time, but he just looked at it, and the rest of the time he went to a store specializing in outdoor activity equipment.

The day after discussing with Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen, Fang Ming suddenly had an idea, that is, it is better to go out on a bicycle, which may be more convenient, anyway, the matter of collecting antiques also pays attention to luck, and you have to drill into the village, since it is not so convenient to take a car or drive like this, of course, another advantage of this is that riding is also a trend now, and he has long had such a dream: why not do it with one stone?

As soon as he thought of it, Fang Ming took advantage of the opportunity that he didn't have much else to do in the past few days to actively prepare, and the most important thing was, of course, to buy equipment.

Because he is a layman, Fang Ming has checked all kinds of information, and spent a lot of time to choose and compare before slowly buying the bicycles, backpacks, tents, kettles, clothes, shoes, etc. that he needs, and then it is modified, especially bicycles.

These professional outdoor sports things are not cheap, if it was in the past, Fang Ming would be reluctant to buy them, but now it is different, and he is very happy to spend it after he has money in his hand.

Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen not only didn't stop him after they knew it, but they helped him make plans anyway, the most important thing was to plan the route for Fang Ming, and some spent a lot of money to buy a camera and DV for Fang Ming, the purpose was to let him take photos and videos anytime and anywhere, and then there were computers and wireless network cards, etc. - these were all so that Fang Ming could send back photos in time and the like.

"Hey, I see you guys can't wait to go yourself."

Zhou Yafang glared at Fang Ming and said, "Of course we want to go, but is this possible?" ”

"yes, I really want to go."

Jiang Wen showed a yearning look on her face, but she also knew that this was impossible, not to mention that she would not be allowed to go in the first place, and now it is even more impossible to go out by bicycle.

"Hah! Forget it, it's too inconvenient for you girls to go out, so let's go there when we have the opportunity to go on a road trip in the future. ”

Fang Ming snorted and fooled this matter over, he didn't want to "provoke" Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen anymore, in case they had a headache and fever, they had to go together, then the matter would be a big deal, and it would definitely be no problem to take care of them, but after all, it was not as convenient as going out alone.

Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen really wanted to go, but they also knew that this was unrealistic, so they could only talk about it.

"Fang Ming, when you go out this time, you have to pay attention to antiques, after the opening of our new store, we will encounter the problem of too little inventory like the previous Gu Xuan Zhai."

Zhou Yafang's brows were tightly twisted together, and she even pressed her fingers on her temples several times, it was obvious that this problem gave her an abnormal headache.

Gu Xuanzhai encountered this problem when he first opened after the renovation, and the result was that he could only borrow some antiques from the money to fill the façade, and then Fang Ming "swept the stall" and picked up the leaks, which was considered to have solved the problem, but these antiques were sold quickly, and the consequence of making a lot of money was that there were no antiques again.

Although a new strategy was later set, only selling good antiques and providing appraisal services, but even if it is a good antique, there must be antiques, right?

Not to mention that the store on the new side is bigger now, and there are not a few antiques in the empty store, which is really unsightly.

Therefore, these days, Zhou Yafang is busy decorating while also inquiring where to find good antiques, even if the price is a little higher, she is not afraid, but the problem is that she can't find it at all!

This time Fang Ming went out, and Zhou Yafang could only pin her hopes on him.

"Okay, no problem, I'll leave this to me. You know my ability, unless you haven't encountered something good, as long as you do, I will definitely be able to see it, hey, I'm Zhou Papi, as long as it's good, it can't escape from the palm of my hand. However, there is a question that if I buy something good, how do I bring it back? You can't just buy one and come back, right? It's okay for the small ones, but you can't bring the big ones. ”

I hadn't thought of this question before, but now I felt a headache when I thought of Fang Ming.

"This ...... Brother Fang Ming, why don't you drive away, it's convenient for you to ride a bicycle, but one is not effortless, and the other is that if you run into a large antique, there is no way to take it away. For example, if you come across a bronze piece that weighs tens or hundreds of pounds, you can't always carry it on a bicycle, right? “

Jiang Wen blinked and thought for a while, but suggested that Fang Ming drive out.

"That's a good idea."

Zhou Yafang nodded in agreement and said, "Fang Ming, why don't you just do it, let's drive out, it's more convenient to bring antiques." ”

"Okay, why don't I stuff my bicycle in the car, drive it to a big city, put it down, ride it around, and if I find an antique, I'll bring it back to the car."

Because of the change of plans, Fang Ming simply drove his Hummer to modify it after thinking about it, the main thing was to temporarily remove the back seat, increase the space that could hold things inside, and also order some special shockproof boxes or shelves, etc., of course, add shelves on the roof of the car, and wait until everything was ready It was already three days later.
