In the early morning, Jade Bird City is in the best time of the year, the sun is shining, the balcony of the hotel has a wide view, in front of which is an unobstructed sea view, Jin Muchen stands on the balcony drinking juice, enjoying the comfortable morning of this harbor city.

At this time, the glass door on another balcony not far away was pushed open with a bang, and then a man yawning came to the balcony from the next room.

This guy first stretched his waist, and then yawned again, his face was full of stubble, and huge dark circles, obviously last night, he didn't rest very well.

When he turned his head, he happened to see Jin Muchen sitting at the coffee table on the balcony drinking juice, and a trace of anger flashed in this buddy's eyes, but he quickly laughed and gave Jin Muchen a thumbs up.

"Dude, you have a really good waist, where did you eat something good yesterday? So make up? ”

Jin Muchen was also amused by this guy and sneered: "Haha, I'm sorry, I disturbed ......"

Then in the man's teasing gaze, the wolf bèi hid back in the room, still scolding in his heart, what kind of five-star hotel, how to do the sound insulation so poor!

In the room, Candace was still sleeping in Haitang Spring, Jin Muchen rushed out, and Candace had just opened his hazy sleepy eyes.

"Are you awake?"

Jin Muchen smiled and walked over to hug her and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Well, when did you get up?"

"Just got up, do you want to get up and go down to breakfast with me?"

"Still not. You are free to move around today. I'm really tired. Have a good rest in the hotel today. ”

Although Candace also has the body of a Western woman, she is also the first to bear the rain and dew, and Jin Muchen's body is so strong, she was tired yesterday.

Jin Muchen nodded, gently put down the woman who had fallen asleep in his arms, covered the quilt for her, and then gently walked out of the room.

Went downstairs to the restaurant and had breakfast. Just get out of the hotel and go straight to the famous cultural market in Jade Bird City, Changle Road!

This time I came to the blue bird, not on a whim, or just to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but Jin Muchen had planned it a long time ago.

This Blue Bird City is a famous harbor city in the north, and because it was developed by the Germans in the early years, it has many characteristics of a colonial city.

Those foreign colonists not only left a lot of unique colonial buildings here, but also left a lot of things that they brought over from the sea.

Of course, Jin Muchen values more than that. The Germans forcibly occupied the bluebird and built the city here. There are many old and young people of the Qing Dynasty, in order to avoid the chaos of the Beijing-Tianjin circle, they also hid in this city, so they also brought a lot of good things here, so Jin Muchen felt that the market here was very worth visiting.

Moreover, the cultural market of Changle Road is also quite famous in the collection circle in the north, and the development of Jade Bird City has been very good in recent years, so it has gradually formed a characteristic antique market represented by Jiaodong culture.

The cultural street of Jade Bird City is centered on Changle Road, east to Lijin Road, west to Huayang Road, with a total length of more than 1,500 meters, and more than 400 existing merchants, which is one of the largest comprehensive cultural streets in the country at present.

Slowly walking into this market from the south gate, Jin Muchen's first feeling was that the style of this market was more similar to that of Panjiayuan in the capital.

There are a number of well-known regular antique shops in the Cultural Street, as well as a stall market.

But unlike Panjiayuan, each store here has its own characteristics, and the collocation complements each other, unlike Panjiayuan, because there are too many shops, which gives people the feeling that most of them are repetitive, and everyone sells almost the same goods.

There are shops specializing in used books, selling old periodicals from all over the country, professional galleries dealing in calligraphy and painting, shops specializing in strange stones and jade, etc., there are not many shops of each type, there are only two or three, but each has its own characteristics.

Here you can also witness the artists creating in the "Celebrity Studio", and you can also buy porcelain from Jingdezhen, prints from Yangjiabu and Tian@Jinniren Zhang and other well-known cultural masterpieces at home and abroad.

It gives people a very strong feeling that although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and Jin Muchen also feels very fun strolling around.

Because the area is not large, so it is not tiring to walk, Jin Muchen is looking at it while walking, and today is just the day when the stall can be stalled, so this market is very lively.

However, the stalls here look much more messy than the Panjiayuan Market, and each stall is basically a miscellaneous business, and there are everything to buy.

Some of them buy strange stones, but they also have a porcelain business, some of them buy comic books, and there are a lot of old CDs or vinyl records on the side, and there are all kinds of wood carvings for sale, but there are also a lot of Buddha shrines on the stalls, anyway, they look more messy, not as classified as Pan Jiayuan, and the regulations are so detailed.

Jin Muchen was also a wanderer, probably wandering around the market, looking at it for a while, feeling a little disappointed.

Most of the things sold at these stalls are fakes or modern handicrafts, and there are no treasures that can catch his eye.

He wandered around for a while, then found a stall where he bought cold drinks, bought two ice creams, and looked at them as he went, intending to spend half an hour strolling, and if he hadn't seen anything that fitted his eyes, he would start to specialize in the other end of the shop.

Most of these shops are concentrated in a few buildings after the renovation of Cultural Street, unlike Panjiayuan, most of which are opened in antique buildings facing the street.

But just before he was about to turn around and walk into a commercial building, a blue light flashed on a stall not far in front of the commercial mall, which attracted his attention.

Jin Muchen followed the jewels, walked to the stall, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that this stall was dedicated to the antique watch business.

This stall is quite exquisite, not like other stalls, sitting on the ground, but placing a few small shelves on the stall, the shelves are designed from low to high, staggered.

On the top shelf are exquisite antique pocket watches, there are about five or six, either 18K gold shells, or copper gilt, they all look beautiful anyway, and Jin Muchen only glanced at them, and he can conclude that these are genuine.

However, these antique watches are not the main reason for attracting Jin Muchen's attention, the blue light that attracted him came from the bottom of this shelf.

He looked down at the source of the blue light carefully, and it turned out to be an antique chiming clock.

The clock is about 85 centimeters high, divided into four layers from top to bottom, gilt and inlaid with translucent blue enamel inlaid floral plates, with mechanisms on the lower and middle floors responsible for the chronograph and the movement of the various parts on the clock. The ground floor is rectangular, and the front is a mechanically controlled Western-style castle, a mill and a rotating waterwheel. The front of the second floor is inlaid with blue enamel inlaid with floral pieces, and the middle is inlaid with a three-needle enamel bell plate, the edge of the bell plate is inlaid with red material stone for a week, and the four corners are decorated with umbrella-shaped vase horn flowers; The third layer is a wheel-shaped rotating flower, and the four corners are decorated with rotating flowers; The top floor is gilded star-shaped and decorated with inlay stones.

Just looking at these is already very atmospheric and beautiful, and this clock is actually equipped with a set of very precious rosewood carved wooden seats, and the quality of this wooden seat is also very perfect.

The whole set of table clocks looks very beautiful, and can even be described as luxurious and generous, if you just look at the appearance, it is definitely not worse than the Qianlong imperial clock he won from the Song family a few days ago.

And the most important thing is that the quality of this bell is very intact, it can be seen that the previous owners, the maintenance of this bell is very careful, the most vulnerable clock body of the royal blue enamel gold sheet, there is no flaw, traces of damage, the enamel filigree on the clock body, inlay, half a cent has not fallen off, which is quite rare for such an old object.

He crouched down and began to look at the clock carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more beautiful it became, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

The stall owner, who had been sitting at the back of the stall, saw that he was squatting here for a long time and didn't move, so he knew that this customer should be the kind of person who was moved, so he went around to the front with a smile and came to Jin Muchen's side.

"How? Boss, have you taken a fancy to this grandfather clock? ”

Jin Muchen didn't give an affirmative answer, but said lightly to the boss: "Boss, can you give me a detailed introduction to your clock?" ”

"Okay, then I'll tell you, my grandfather clock, but the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China Yangcheng produced the Guang Bell, you look at the enamel color, with an obvious Cantonese style, you are looking at this ......"

The boss said as he pointed to the enamel painting on the bell and said to Jin Muchen, and Jin Muchen only heard him say a few words, and he knew that this guy was also a second knife, such a good thing, he didn't even see it.

He didn't even see the three words of Lai Deheng hidden in the four corners of the clock, but fortunately he didn't see it, if he could see those words, this grandfather clock would probably be no longer here.

“…… My grandfather clock, in good condition, after winding, the internal parts are completely normal, but it is a rare boutique of that period, boss, are you optimistic? ”

The stall owner with a big yellow tooth said in a mouthful of introduction, Jin Muchen was not pretentious, and nodded.

"Boss, you can make an offer!"

This boss, I didn't expect Jin Muchen to be so happy, this is not like those Tibetan friends he has come into contact with, even if he sees something, he is secretive, and after the final offer, he has to bargain crookedly for a long time.

"Boss, if you can see it, this clock will be one million, you take it!"

The boss's eyes rolled a few times, and finally he gritted his teeth and quoted a ruthless price...... (To be continued......)
