Chu Chen and Wu Ke met an old Chinese lady who knew a little about Chinese on the subway, and when the other party heard that they were going to the flea market, they greeted them with Chinese, hoping to walk through the market with them, because she was worried that it would not be safe to walk alone......

This made the two of them a little surprised, and hurriedly asked the old lady what was going on.

The old lady sighed and explained that the security here is not very good, and there was only a homicide here last week, which immediately made Wu Ke feel a little creepy.

Chu Chen listened to what the old lady said, and while frowning, he immediately thought of why, just like the domestic antique market, where dragons and snakes are mixed, of course, the foreign thrift market is not much better.

It's not that Chu Chen is biased, but in fact, among the people who sell old goods, there are always some things of unknown origin, and the owners who sell these things, presumably everyone should also understand who they are. If there are more such people, then of course the public security environment will not be good.

Seeing Wu Ke's worried look, the old lady also said that although the security situation there is a little worse, it is not too bad, and many times it can still be bought and sold with peace of mind, otherwise, how could this flea market be called the largest flea market in France.

The old lady also said that she wanted to walk through the market with them because she was timid, and she was too old to have a heart attack.

Wu Ke heard the old lady say this, although he was still a little worried, but he was somewhat relieved, as for the old lady's request, of course the two agreed without hesitation.

After all, both of them are not very familiar with the environment here, and among the two, only Chu Chen has his memory. For the time being, I was able to hear some simple French, and now I have an old lady who is familiar with the market. It's still something they can't ask for.

That's it, after the three of them got off the subway. Chu Chen and Wu Ke walked towards the market while listening to the old lady's explanation of the market. When they saw this flea market known as the largest in Paris from a distance, the first thing they felt was that it was really very large, and it looked a bit like a hybrid of Panjiayuan and Golden Five Stars in the capital.

The layout of the market is a main street connected by several small markets, some of which are open-air stalls, some of which are simple stalls, and some of which are small and chic shops. There are many kinds of goods, modern daily necessities, trendy clothes, shoes and socks. There is also a wide variety of antiques, miscellaneous goods, and other items.

Therefore, many people in the industry call it the boss of the global flea market.

The market is large, coupled with the large flow of customers, so many people like to come here to do business, according to the old lady, it is generally easy to apply for a booth here, as long as you apply to the relevant government departments. The cost of the stall is also low. However, in addition to professionals, individual stalls are only allowed twice a year, in order to allow more people to participate.

The Marcheauxpuces is a large place, but the small markets are well organized. One by one, street after street. Despite this, the streets and alleys of the bazaar are as narrow as a spider's web. If you are a tourist with a poor sense of direction, you may get lost.

Fortunately, there are many streets and alleys. But the chic décor of each shop, the antique furniture in the streets, and the whitewashed walls. It makes Chu Chen and Wu Ke feel like they are in a street art museum. And with the guidance of the old lady, they quickly had a general and clear understanding of the layout of the market.

The old lady also told them that one of the best places to visit was the Marnet, a small market hidden along three roads: Milk Edesro, Milk Evo1taire and Avenue Miche1et.

She describes the place as elegant, she said, there are more than 26o shops selling antique furniture, paintings, decorations and a wide variety of old goods, and it is said that many antique collectors from all over the world love to find treasures here.

In the end, the old lady heard that Chu Chen wanted to buy some antiques, and when she saw that the two of them were young, she warned them that it was best not to buy the goods from the antique store, although the goods there were good, but the price was expensive, and even if they bought them back, there was not much potential for appreciation.

She told the two that they should focus on the family's old goods, because the stall keepers sell the family's useless things, they are neither professional nor make a living from it, and the prices offered are extremely low, and there is a lot of room for bargaining, even if the things they buy are not good, they will not suffer a big loss.

Moreover, if Chu Chen and Wu Ke have a pair of discerning eyes and have a certain amount of professional knowledge, they can also find genuine and high-quality products from these tattered old goods and earn huge profits. Spending a small amount of money to do more is the joy of visiting the thrift market.

The old lady said these words from the bottom of her heart, Chu Chen also hurriedly thanked her, since the old lady introduced them so wholeheartedly, the two of them also reciprocated and sent her out of the market safely, and then went back to the market to officially visit the market.

Just now, because they had to send the old lady out of the market, and because they had to listen attentively to the old lady's explanation, neither of them had time to appreciate the goods in the surrounding markets.

Now, after a while, the two of them couldn't help but sigh that this place is indeed worthy of being the boss of the world's flea market, and the dazzling array of goods makes both of them feel that they can't take care of it.

In the stalls and shops of the market, there are porcelain, books, records, toys, game cards, clothes, shoes, decorations, furniture, paintings, ornaments, kitchen supplies, tools, covering almost every aspect of family life and culture.

These dazzling commodities immediately activated the shopping cells in Wu Ke's body, one would buy an ornament that she loved a lot, and another would buy an ornament that she couldn't put down, which also made it so that from the time they started shopping, to the short two hours at noon, even if Wu Ke slightly restrained his urge to shop, Chu Chen still had a lot of shopping bags in his hands.

That year France participated in the second Raven. The War and the Eight-Nation Alliance, invaded and looted countless fine utensils and cultural relics from China, which they brought to France.

How many years have passed, but some of the descendants of the invaders do not know where the Chinese cultural relics at home came from, nor do they know the value of these cultural relics. When they clean up old household items, they tend to sell these Chinese cultural relics as useless tatters and worthless in the thrift market.

Therefore, as the largest thrift market in France, there is certainly no shortage of cultural relics from the Ming and Qing dynasties here, and many Chinese have found exquisite porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties in the thrift market, and some people have bought bronzes from a much older age. So, among these things that Chu Chen carried, he also contributed a part.

Chu Chen was also quite indignant about the history of France's invasion of his motherland, but in addition to being indignant, he could only try to buy back some precious cultural relics, otherwise what could he do?

In the final analysis, it is still a good old saying, a weak country has no dignity, only when the motherland is strong, can the Chinese people walk with their chests held up abroad, and it is not easy to be bullied by foreigners!

To get back to the point, in the course of these two hours, Chu Chen bought a total of four antiques, and all of them were bargains bought at the stall, the highest value of which was a dragon and phoenix pattern cup with rhino horn carving.

This rhino horn cup is in the shape of an antique bronze, with an open cup and an oval circled foot. The fold is engraved with an echo pattern. The outer wall is halberd on all sides, and the mouth is engraved with a phoenix abduction pattern for a week, and the abdomen and foot wall are decorated with a dragon pattern.

The side of the cup is carved with six flexible shapes, and the head and tail are entwined for the cup; Under the cup, the foot circle bears a high foot, the wall is engraved with a phoenix pattern, and the foot circle is engraved with a seal book of "Hu Xingyue made".

This vessel is made for antique bronzes, and the shape of the dragon head and bird's beak is very unique, and it is generally seen in the bronzes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The carving technique is high, and the knife technique is delicate and simple, reflecting the profound cultural heritage of the craftsman and the court's pursuit of exquisite artworks.

Hu Xingyue is a famous rhino horn carver in the late Ming Dynasty, known for carving dragons and antique themes, and his hand-me-down works are rare. Chu Chen has only seen it until now. The palace is set to be the late Ming Dynasty rhino horn carving pan claw pattern cup, its style and style are exactly the same as this cup.

Therefore, with its exquisite workmanship and rarity, this rhino horn cup is very valuable and valuable. Chu Chen estimates that it should be worth nearly 80 to 1 million RMB, based on the current market value.

However, such a precious cup was regarded as a wooden cup by the seller, and Chu Chen only bought it for five euros. Picking up a big leak also diluted his depression because he remembered that France had snatched many cultural relics from China.

At noon, Chu Chen and Wu Ke found a restaurant near the market that looked pretty good, and the food in the restaurant was quite delicious, so that Wu Ke, who had just sat down and was still shouting tired, was rejuvenated.

"Comfortable!"

Wu Kemei took a sip of juice, and then she suddenly remembered something, so she asked Chu Chen with some curiosity: "Ah Chen, I think the little axe you bought just now is a Yue, and you said no, so what is it?" ”

Wu Ke had read a magazine before, saying that the Yue was a kind of weapon, composed of a bronze beryllium head and a long handle, and the beryllium head was sharp and straight, and the penetrating power was very strong. It appeared in the Spring and Autumn period and was used in large quantities during the Warring States period. As for the axe, because its lethality is not as good as the spear, its status in the actual combat in the Spring and Autumn Period was greatly reduced, and it was mostly used for ceremonial guards and decorations as a symbol of military power.

The thing Chu Chen bought looked very much like a small axe, so she thought it should be Yue, but Chu Chen would be very sure that it was not, which made her feel a little puzzled.

Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not Yue, but Cheng (Cheng)." ”

"Cheng?" Wu Ke was a little confused.

Chu Chen explained: "Although these two things look very similar, they are actually different, let me tell you about the ancients' explanation of these two things......

As he spoke, he read a few ancient texts to Wu Ke.

"Sayings" said: "Yue, big axe, a heavenly warrior." "Books? Gu Ming" said: "Yue and Cheng are the same soldiers, and they are reborn axes." The big one is Yue, and the small one is Cheng. One person holds the crown, and the other holds the crown. "Release? "Release the Soldiers" said: "Yue, open-minded, suddenly broken." Cheng, the right also, do not dare to be current. ”…… (To be continued!)
