After breakfast the next day, Fang Yong took Zhang Yuting and Jiang Shuyi to take the subway to the Notting Hill Antique Market in London.
Although Fang Yong and the others were not familiar with the road conditions in London, Fang Yong had accurate awareness detection and found his destination without asking for directions.
Out of the subway station, Fang Yong looked at the time, and the watch showed that it was almost eight o'clock.
Follow the flow of people who got off the subway and walked forward, and you knew that these people were coming for the antiques in the bazaar.
Today happens to be Saturday, and every Saturday is also the busiest time of the London Notting Hill Antique Market, when customers gather from all over the world to fill the market.
The road leading to the market is lined with clothing and souvenir shops, which are also the favorite places for Zhang Yuting and Jiang Shuyi.
Although I came to hunt for treasure today, I was also very happy to go shopping with my favorite person. No, not far from the subway station, Fang Yong followed the two beauties into a clothing store.
"Yuko, how about taking a look at this dress?" Zhang Yuting picked up a wool coat and compared it to herself and asked.
Fang Yong saw that this wool coat was very British, revealing fashion elements, and was very suitable for trendy women, so he nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, the style is fashionable, and the color is good!" How much is it, buy it if you like it! ”
Jiang Shuyi also said on the side: "Fang Yong, the material of this dress is very good, and the feel is also very good, can you come and touch it and try it?" ”
Fang Yong touched it with his hand, and sure enough, it was the same as what Jiang Shuyi said.
Zhang Yuting's bargaining level is also internationally cutting-edge, and with Jiang Shuyi helping on the side, the shopkeeper soon lost the battle and sold the wool coat at a very favorable price.
After leaving this clothing store, Fang Yong bought another dress for Jiang Shuyi. Continue towards the antique bazaar.
After walking forward for a few minutes, Fang Yong and the three finally saw the bazaar.
By this time, there were already a number of temporary stalls on the market streets, which only appeared on Saturdays. The houses on both sides of the street are perennial shops, and the walls of the shops are painted in various colors, which is very beautiful.
Having entered the bazaar, Fang Yong began to operate the Mind Divine Technique, absorbing the aura floating on the antique.
There are a lot of antiques here, but there are not many antiques that really contain very rich aura, and they are basically big road goods. It's nowhere near as good as the treasures in a museum.
But Fang Yong's main purpose today was not to absorb the aura, but to find some unusual treasures.
Because modern Britain was once called the empire on which the sun never sets. This country has established countless colonies around the world, and their soldiers have plundered large quantities of gold and silver treasures and antique treasures in the colonies. And this market is full of antiques that have been handed over from the hands of the soldiers of the time.
Although Fang Yong's collection has collected a lot of antique treasures, it is still 108,000 miles away from the world-class collection of cultural relics.
Fang Yong has always had a goal, that is, to collect as many antique treasures as possible with national characteristics, characteristics of the times, and special techniques, and this Notting Hill Antique Market is a good place to hunt for treasures.
At this time, there are already a lot of people coming to the street to find treasures. The streets are also narrow. Therefore, Fang Yong and the three of them walked around in the gap of the flow of people very carefully, for fear of accidentally knocking down the valuable antique porcelain!
Fang Yong held the hands of the two beauties and looked at the antiques on both sides of the road from time to time. Sometimes, Fang Yong also introduced the antiques on these stalls to the two of them.
The two beauties also listened attentively. They all thought that after learning this, they would also go to the antique market to buy a few antiques.
Although these antiques did not have much investment value in Fang Yong's opinion, the characteristics of the times and artistic techniques they showed still taught Fang Yong a lot of knowledge.
Then. During Fang Yong's consciousness detection, an antique with a crimson mist appeared in his mind.
Fang Yong found that the antique was being placed in the interchange corridor in the storefronts on both sides of the street. So Fang Yong led the two of them towards the place where the antiques were sold.
After coming, Fang Yong found that this was a small stall. Although the place is not large, there are a lot of things placed in dense clusters. And it's very organized, not chaotic at all.
Fang Yong squatted down on the stall, and Zhang Yuting and Jiang Shuyi stood beside Fang Yong is side on the left and right, watching Fang Yong select antiques.
Fang Yong was picking out antiques in front, while Zhang Yuting and Jiang Shuyi behind him were talking in a whisper.
It turned out that Fang Yong had taken a fancy to a sword, but the appearance of this sword was a little strange, like a snake winding forward.
Jiang Shuyi whispered to Zhang Yuting: "Yuting, you see that the sword Fang Yong is holding seems to be the sword used by the Golden Snake Langjun in the Jin Daxia book. ”
"Yes! Sister Shuyi, what you said is really a bit similar. Zhang Yuting said.
After Fang Yong finished reading the sword, he asked the stall owner about the price in fluent English.
The stall owner, an old Englishman, saw the business coming to the door, smiled very kindly and said to Fang Yong: "One hundred pounds!" ”
Fang Yong smiled and said, "The price is a bit high!" ”
"This is an authentic Kriss dagger! The price I'm talking about is very cheap, and the quality of this sword is also very good, you will definitely not lose money if you buy it. The old man said unhurriedly.
That's it! Anyway, Fang Yong was not short of this money, so he bought this sword.
After leaving the stall, Zhang Yuting asked Fang Yong, "Yongzi, why don't you give him a counteroffer anymore?" ”
"Actually, it's a leak to buy at this price!" Fang Yong said with a smile.
Hearing Fang Yong say this, the two beauties were a little puzzled and curious, knowing that Fang Yong still had the following, so they looked at Fang Yong together.
Fang Yong didn't sell it, so he introduced it to the two girls: "This kind of sword is called the Malay Klux Sword, which is the king of cold weapons in South Asia and one of the three famous swords in the world. ”
"Isn't this a sword? How can it still be called a famous knife? Jiang Shuyi asked puzzled.
In fact, this kind of designation is due to the fact that there is no distinction between swords and swords in the European language system, so it is a mistake caused by false propagation in transmission. Treat it as if it were a knife. Fang Yong explained.
Then Fang Yong said: "Actually, the material used to build this sword is meteoric iron, because Malaysia has been short of iron ore since ancient times, so they can only find some substitutes, so they chose meteorite iron." It is for this reason that the Malay Clix sword is famous all over the world. It is said that when the Dutch conquered South Asia, the steel barrels of the muskets of the Dutch gunners were often cut off by Malayklux swords. ”
Zhang Yuting looked at the sword in Fang Yong's hand with some disbelief: "Is it really so powerful?" ”
"Really, it's more true than the tip of a needle!" Fang Yong said with a smile.
At this time, Fang Yong found another collection that used to be a treasure of Huaxia, so he said to the two girls: "I'll explain to you the knowledge of the Malay Klux sword when I go back, and now follow me to see the collection in front of me!" (To be continued......)
