Chu Chen didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to encounter the rhinoceros horn cup carved by You Tong today, and it looked like a fine product, which was really rare, so he hurriedly and carefully verified the authenticity of the rhino horn cup.

The rhino horn of this rhino horn cup has straighter, thicker filaments, the cross-section is a small sand hole shaped like a honeycomb, the oblique section is a caviar-like pattern, and there is an obvious gutter and ground post, the material is indeed a good Asian rhino horn, coupled with exquisite carving and style, it can be confirmed that it is a rhino horn carved lychee cup carefully carved by Youtong.

Chu Chen looked at the list price, but it was only 50,000 pounds, this price, even if it was based on the carver of this rhino horn cup, it was already a small leak, not to mention the celebrity effect of Youtong, and he bought it at this price, if he didn't get the ability, he would have woken up with a smile in his dreams.

In fact, in this era, the domestic antique craze has just risen not long ago, and foreigners have not yet understood the domestic antique market as thoroughly as a few years later, so there are some bargains for antiques here.

In addition, not every antique shop has a very high level of ownership, so from time to time you can pick up small leaks, and there are more opportunities to pick up big leaks than from China.

After Chu Chen completed the transaction with satisfaction, he wondered if he should come abroad every month to search for treasures, antiques are fast and slow, and now because of economic ability and other reasons, there are not many people who know this situation, but with those big bosses joining the antique industry, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities like this in the future.

Chu Chen told Wu Ke his thoughts, and Wu Ke was quite surprised. Being able to see Chu Chen every month, for her who is now filled with Chu Chen's shadow, it is undoubtedly like hearing the sound of heaven.

Next, the two visited a few more antique shops, and Chu Chen harvested a few more gadgets at a relatively low price, and then saw that the time was almost up, and the two ended their trip to Greenwich Market.

After dinner, the two headed to the London Eye, a landmark building that has only been built for less than two years.

The London Eye Ferris wheel, built by British Airways at a cost of $120 million, sits on the banks of the River Thames in London and is 135 metres high. It is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. In the first year of its opening in 2000, it attracted about 3 million tourists from all over the world, and it can be said that it is one of the most attractive tourist spots in London now.

Seeing the huge Ferris wheel slowly turning, contrast. I'm like an ant in the eyes of a human. Chu Chen was shocked. And the London Eye at night has a dreamy temperament, and the huge blue halo sets off the Thames River beautifully, which is particularly charming.

Although it was already night. However, there were still many people queuing up to buy tickets, and the two waited in line for about 30 minutes to buy tickets, and waited in line for nearly 20 minutes to enter the "London Eye".

The London Eye has 32 sealed glass cabins, all made of clear glass, with a spacious interior that can accommodate up to 16 passengers, offering 360-degree views of the city and moving around the cabin to take in the view from different angles.

Although Wu Ke has been admiring the London Eye for a long time, she has a fear of heights, and when she and Mina and others came here to play, she could only stand below with her eyes open, watching the three of them slowly rise with envy.

The same is true this time, she didn't want to go up at first, but later Chu Chen tried all her means and said all the good things before agreeing to experience it with Chu Chen.

As the cockpit slowly rose, Wu Ke closed her eyes and grabbed Chu Chen tightly, not daring to move, when she opened her eyes to overlook the Thames River and the scenery of London under Chu Chen's comfort, she immediately felt a little dizzy in her head, and a sense of panic rose in her heart, and her little face turned white in an instant.

Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled bitterly, and hurriedly hugged her in his arms, and kept gently comforting her.

"What's wrong with that sister, is she like me, afraid of falling? Grandpa, do you think we're going to fall? A little British girl in the third or fourth year next to her asked a little scared.

The old man smiled apologetically at Chu Chen, and then comforted the little girl very kindly and softly, and talked about some London Eye safety measures.

The little girl nodded a little ignorantly, she saw Wu Ke who was still frightened on the side, so she took out a lollipop from her pocket, walked up to Wu Ke, and handed the lollipop to Chu Wu Ke with some reluctance, and said:

"Sister, I'm not afraid to eat a lollipop, I eat one before every injection, and now I'm not afraid of injections!"

The little girl's actions made Wu Ke feel very embarrassed, and at the same time, the little girl's innocence also made Wu Ke pluck up his courage and calm his heart a little.

After thanking the little girl, Wu Ke began to try to look down at her feet, at first she was still a little dizzy and panicked, but gradually she was attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her, and at the same time forgot the fear in her heart.

The River Thames flows past the foothills, and the huge sightseeing cruise ship seems so small that the whole of London can be seen in front of you, especially now that it is night, and the scenery is even more dazzling against the magnificent lights of the embankment and the Houses of Parliament.

And as the Ferris wheel rotates, the scenery and feeling seen at each height are different, which can be summed up in a sentence in an ancient poem, that is, "if you want to be poor, you will go to the next level".

When the glass cabin they were in reached its apex, everything in London seemed to be turned into a picture scroll in front of everyone's eyes, and the colorful and dreamlike big London was in full view, and the feeling was indescribable. ……

The next day, Chu Chen and Wu Ke got up early, because today was Saturday, and there was a weekly Notting Hill weekend antique market.

Notting Hill Market has been around for centuries, but it was only fruit and vegetable stalls at first, and it wasn't until around the 50s that some antique dealers and a large number of immigrants from the West Indies, which had become an imperial colony, made it a unique neighborhood in London and the most famous antique market in the world.

Located in the west of London, Notting Hill is a bohemian place and one of the wealthiest areas of London, with many wealthy people living here.

Every Saturday, antique vendors from all over the world are open from 5:30 a.m., and although some are open until 4 a.m., most of them close before 2 p.m., and the spectacle is as short as the British winter sunshine.

Chu Chen and Wu Ke went earlier, there were no customers in the market, and there were about 1,000 or hundreds of small shops along the street in the market about 500 meters, which was quite spectacular.

The vendors, like a competition, took out their own goods, such as all kinds of antique silverware, furniture, porcelain, oil paintings, knick-knacks, jewelry, old cameras, clocks, musical instruments, etc., either neatly arranged or scattered in a stall, which is really dazzling, and the people who see it are dazzled, but the desire to shop is greatly increased.

Although there are eight or nine hours of shopping time, there are so many rare treasures, if you don't hurry up, you can't finish this time, so Chu Chen and Wu Ke joined the army of Taobao non-stop.

Because he was not interested in foreign antiques for the time being, Chu Chen specially looked for those stalls that sold Chinese antiques, of course, when encountering some luxury goods such as jewelry, Chu Chen and Wu Ke would also stop to watch, just like at this time, the two of them were standing in front of a small stall, which specialized in selling necklaces, rings and other jewelry.

The necklaces and rings on the stalls are very well designed, and the stones used are also very large, with both beautiful and temperamental, and the price is also very cheap, generally in a few pounds, and the most expensive is only a few dozen pounds.

Of course, the cheap necklaces and rings, the gems used on them must be fake, and the vendors are honest enough to tell them this.

Originally, according to Chu Chen's meaning, it was really unnecessary to buy this kind of fake jewelry, but Wu Ke liked the design of these jewelry very much, and Chu Chen could only go with her.

After some selection, Wu Ke bought a few bracelets, some headdresses, and even bought a colorful necklace after the last one, seeing that Wu Ke bought so much, the vendor also gave a discount, and only spent fifty pounds in total.

However, Chu Chen muttered a little in his heart when he saw the colorful necklace, because with his eyesight, the five jewels on the necklace were too much like the real thing. But in an instant, he shook his head, the diamond in the middle of the necklace looked like it was forty or fifty carats, if it was real, even if the texture was a little worse, it would be tens of millions.

And there are four colored diamonds of about a dozen carats next to it, namely red diamonds, pink diamonds, blue diamonds and yellow diamonds, if they are all true, then this necklace is undoubtedly sky-high.

Therefore, Chu Chen subconsciously thought that this necklace could not be real, but he always felt that his eyesight and intuition should not be wrong, so he paid the money, and while the vendor was packing these things, he used his ability on this necklace, and the result made him dumbfounded.

The diamonds on this necklace are all real!

The first thought that Chu Chen thought in his heart was that the ability was wrong, but after blinking, he sighed secretly, no matter what, it was impossible for the ability to make such a mistake, and he would think that the fake was real. But then again, buying a diamond necklace worth hundreds of millions of dollars for a few hundred dollars makes people feel like falling into a dream when they think about it.

Finally calmed down his mood, and curiosity rose in Chu Chen's heart, and he really wanted to take out the necklace and appreciate and study it.

However, although the money had already been paid, such a valuable thing could easily arouse the greed of others, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chu Chen still decided to wait until a safer place. (To be continued......)
