When he got up and went downstairs the next morning, Uncle Fang had already gotten up, and by the way, he had already made breakfast.

Fang Bo has been in the United States for 20 years, and he has long been accustomed to the American lifestyle, especially breakfast, although he likes Chinese fritters, soy milk, steamed buns and other foods.

But as a bachelor, it was still the western breakfast that suited him best because of the simplicity and convenience.

Milk oatmeal, with a few slices of toast omelette, and a hearty American breakfast on a few slices of crispy bacon is complete.

"You kid, I'll be in a hurry, I'll just get your breakfast ready and you'll come down."

Fang Bo put the frying pan in the pool and said to Jin Muchen with a smile, and Jin Muchen nodded with a grin.

"Of course, Uncle Fang, your skills are really good, this bacon is fried crispy, and it tastes just right!"

As soon as Jin Muchen sat down, he picked up a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it crunchy.

Although Americans are not particularly fond of pork, there is one pork product that almost every American cannot refuse, and that is bacon, which is an indispensable thing for a typical American breakfast.

Uncle Fang sat down with a smile, then poured himself a cup of black coffee, picked up the morning newspaper, and ate it while reading, after so many years, he was completely accustomed to this style of American breakfast.

"By the way, that Mr. Wang called me recently."

Fang Bo read a few pages of the newspaper, then picked up the toast and began to smear butter on it, and said to Jin Muchen as he wiped it.

"That Wang Xueming?"

Jin Muchen's mind flashed the image of a domestic tycoon with a bit of Confucian temperament, it was a cool person, but he didn't expect that this time he would wait so long to call back, I don't know if he had any other ideas.

"Well, that's him."

Fang Bo spread the butter jam on the toast, then put it in his mouth and took a bite.

"What did he say?"

"He contacted me the other day and asked me to send him the pictures of those bottles and porcelain bowls you brought up, and he said he wanted to ask someone to see them. Especially the gold fixture, he was very interested. He just called me back this morning, and I could hear that he was very excited, and he told me that if it weren't for the year-end entertainment on his company's side, he would have flown over today. This will not have to drag on for a few days, he said that as soon as New Year's Day passes, he will come over, those things, let us keep them for him. ”

Jin Muchen nodded when he heard this, this is like a word, you must know that the gold porcelain bowl is a good thing, it can definitely be regarded as a good thing of a national treasure.

It stands to reason that if he had maximized profits, he would have sent the bowl to Sotheby's or Christie's for them to be auctioned.

But because he didn't want these foreign devils to raise the price, on the other hand, he also hoped that this national treasure could return to China, so he endured it and didn't put it up for auction.

You must know that he is very short of money now, although he has more than 100,000 yuan in his hand, but now he wants to settle down in Manhattan and then take his parents in China with him.

So his money is definitely not enough, if he sells the gold porcelain bowl, then there will definitely be no shortage of funds.

But he has not sent it to the auction, which can be regarded as saving face for Mr. Wang.

"Well, that's good, let's talk about it when he comes, and see if he is sincere."

"Well, I think so too, although we want to bring back the national treasure, but we can't work in vain? By the way, what about your snuff bottles? What's the plan? ”

Uncle Fang turned his words and asked Jin Muchen to arrive, his eyes were full of expectation, how could Jin Muchen not know what his old man meant.

"Fang Bocheng, as you said, most of us who are in the antique business are also antique lovers. Although I have just started out, I also find that these antiques are more and more interesting to play with, and I like these snuff bottles very much, so I plan to keep them, which are my own collection, and I don't plan to sell them. ”

"That's right! Although we are in the antique business, we are different from those businessmen who only count on the sale of antiques for money, and the purpose of our business is mainly to use the money we earn to support our hobby of collecting. You can't lose money with all your heart! ”

Uncle Fang patted his thigh and said to Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen smiled and didn't say much.

"Do you have any other arrangements for the past few days?"

"There's no arrangement, Uncle Fang, do you have something to do?"

"Oh? It's nothing? Isn't it just a few days before Christmas? Business isn't particularly busy at this time, and I'd like to give you a few days off, and if you're going to have nothing to do, just hang out with that Candace, and you young people need to spend more time together. ”

Uncle Fang looked at Jin Muchen with a smile and said, the longer they get along, the more he feels that Jin Muchen has more appetite for himself, he has no children and no daughters, so Jin Muchen will naturally become his grandchild in his eyes, and of course he hopes that his grandchildren can live happily.

Jin Muchen scratched his head, but didn't say much.

After breakfast, Jin Muchen went downstairs to find Candace, anyway, the antique store was not too busy, and Uncle Fang also gave him a holiday.

When he arrived at the delicious bakery, Candace had already changed his clothes and came down from the stairs, wearing a purple slim-fitting down jacket, a white velvet hat, and jeans, looking so good.

"What's on the agenda today?"

Candace opened the door and got into the car, Jin Muchen asked her with a smile, Candace shook his head.

"There's nothing to be done, what should be prepared for Christmas, Aunt Mary has already prepared, and I can't help much? By the way, do you have any plans for today? ”

"There really is!"

Jin Muchen said as he started the car, and Candace asked after fastening his seat belt.

"What arrangement?"

"I want to go buy two guns!"

"What? What do you buy guns for? ”

Candace was startled when he heard this, but soon regained his senses.

This is the United States, and it's the East Coast, where guns are rampant, and it's not a big deal to have one gun per person, or even two.

Jin Muchen turned his head and glanced at Candace, and then said.

"After meeting those Japanese in Washington two days ago, I have been feeling bad, and you also heard what Chen Jianfeng said that day, they are all related to the Black Society, I am afraid that they don't know when to come back to the door to retaliate. And I'm in the antiques business right now, I have a lot of cash flow, and I need a gun to protect myself. ”

When Jin Muchen said this, Candace didn't say anything, in fact, she has experienced a lot of not very good things recently, and even at this time she was wondering if she should buy a gun to protect herself.

"Do you have a good idea of where to buy it?"

"Well, I went up and saw that they have a gun shop there, and they've been doing promotions for the past two days."

"Alright, let's go to Araki Town."

Araki Town is located in New Jersey, but it's not very far from Flushing, half an hour's drive away, and even closer than Flushing's drive to Manhattan.

The town is nominally part of New Jersey, but in fact it's almost a satellite of New York.

Many white-collar workers who work in New York and don't want to bear the high prices and high housing prices in New York have made their homes here and commuted by MRT Express every day.

The weather was very sunny that day, but because of the heavy snow for several days, many roads were icy, and Jin Muchen's car drove very slowly, and it took nearly an hour to drive the car to the gun shop he saw in Araki Town, which was located next to the exit of the highway, next to a gas station, and an auto repair shop.

The area of this store is not particularly large, only about 200 square meters, the decoration of the store is very new, and the furnishings are the same as ordinary self-selected supermarkets, with several rows of shelves, and the shelves are not ordinary high-quality, but a variety of dazzling guns.

Long, short, big and small, Jin Muchen was dazzled as soon as he entered the gun shop.

As a man who comes to the country where guns are banned, there are few people who don't like to rob, Jin Muchen has long heard that there are gun shops everywhere in the United States, but he didn't have time to visit at that time.

Since he was not allowed to buy a gun as a student, he was also because he was shy in his pocket, and at that time, he relied on his parents to go to school and eat, how could he bear to take his parents' money to squander it in this place?

The price of guns in the United States is really cheap, but bullets are not cheap, not to mention that this thing is addicted as soon as you buy it, and after you buy one, it is difficult to control yourself.

In addition, if you have to practice shooting from time to time, it will be expensive.

So although Jin Muchen has always been interested in guns before, he has never been to a gun shop.

"How? What's in your eye, pick whatever you like? ”

A middle-aged white man came over and looked at the two of them with a smile and said, Jin Muchen and Candace nodded.

Soon Jin Muchen picked three guns, a point 45 caliber M1911, the other is a Glock, and a US military M9, and Candace also picked a point 38 caliber revolver from Smith Weison.

"Can you try it?"

"I'm taking you to the shooting range?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at the two of them with a smile and said, then led the two into a door next to the counter, walked through a long corridor, and pushed the door out to reveal a wasteland.

But this wasteland, fenced with iron sheets, is about a few acres in size, and this is the shooting range of the gun shop, in the middle of which is a small hill, and below the hill is a few targets.

The range looks like a lot more than what you see on TV, with little modern equipment, but that's what most American ranges really are.

On the contrary, the relatively modern shooting range with a target track that everyone sees in American movies and TV series is rare for many ordinary gun shops in the United States.
