Chapter Fifty-Nine: Moran's Antique Shop
It's the weekend in a blink of an eye, and everyone who has made an appointment meets at the bus station in Green Town in the morning.
plus Gong Bing a total of five people, in addition to Koller and Rita, there are also two classmates of Rita, a man and a woman are a couple, because they are not traveling to any distant places, everyone does not have much luggage, less such as Gong Bing just carrying a backpack, and more than a suitcase in his hand.
After purchasing the tickets, everyone boarded the bus to Lington City.
After more than three hours of bumpy driving, we finally arrived at Lington City before noon, Lington City is one of the important cities in the neighboring province, compared with the Green Town, there are many high-rise buildings, ten or twenty storey buildings abound, a modern big city with a population of one million, the streets are full of traffic, and the flow of people is like a tide.
Although she has moved with her parents several times since she was a child, they are all small towns like green towns, and she has rarely been to a big city, so from the moment she got off the bus, Ruita seemed to be in high spirits and looked around.
Since the MD's lecture didn't start until the next day, Rita suggested that she take a good stroll around the city of Linton after lunch while there was still time today.
Gong Bing came with a purpose, who is interested in wandering around, although Lington City is much more prosperous than Green Town, but compared to the second generation of the Phaeton planet, where there are hundreds of thousands of meters of buildings lined up, Lington City is like a junction between urban and rural areas in Gong Bing's eyes, and it is not attractive.
After having lunch together, Gong Bing said goodbye to Rita and Koerle, carried a chest bag, and began to look for it one by one with the address given by Koller.
As a large city with a population of one million, Lington has a well-developed transportation system, not only a constant stream of taxis, but also a bus system extending in all directions, so although the city is large, it is still very easy to get around.
Of course, a huge city can't have only these few shops, but they are the most famous and have the longest history in the circle, and they are surprisingly not gathered nearby, but are distributed all over the city, so it takes a lot of time to shop them all.
Unexpectedly, Kohler's name is quite easy to use, when he reported that he was introduced by Kohrer, the waiter and the owner of the store were hospitable to him and responsive, so he also saved a lot of effort, it seems that Alice is right, Kohler's family is quite famous in the jewelry and antique industry.
This is already the fourth store, and although the store is old and has a lot of valuable gadgets, to Gong Bing's disappointment, he didn't get any evolution points he wanted.
Could it be that there is really something wrong with my own guess, and the evolution point is not stored in ancient objects?
Walking out of the store, the sky outside is shining, the roadside and the road are shuttling with pedestrians and cars from work, the street lights, car lights and shop lights are turned on one after another, the city is slowly changing into new clothes, and people who have finished their day's work are starting their nightlife.
Let's finish reading the last store before dark, if it still doesn't work, then consider visiting other antique shops, in addition to looking for evolution points in these stores this day, he also learned a lot of information from the boss and waiter, Gong Bing shook his head and thought.
After two bus transfers, then three passers-by, and another five or six hundred meters of walking, Gong Bing finally found the last shop in a deep alley.
This is already the corner of the city of Lington, part of the old town, and unlike the city center, which is full of high-rise buildings and wide roads, the houses here are low and the roads are narrow.
At this time, it was completely dark, the stars were like dense sand sprinkled overhead, and the deep alleys were lined with all kinds of small shops, all kinds of fast food restaurants, all kinds of grocery stores, stalls on the ground selling second-hand goods, pushing carts in the corners to sell fruits, and pedestrians were bustling and lively.
Standing still on the side of the road and raising his head, Gong Bing saw an iron sign hanging on the top of the second floor: Moran Antique.
The wrought iron on the sign is mottled, the text is faded, and the dim light tube flickers from time to time, revealing the old smell like this old building.
The iron staircase outside the wall was also rusty, walking on it and kicking, Gong Bing came to the second floor along the stairs, stood at the door and looked inside through the glass door, there was a light that there was someone, glanced at the welcome sign on the door, Gong Bing immediately pushed open the door and walked in.
With the clanging of the door, Gong Bing walked into the Moran antique shop.
The store of nearly 200 square meters is full of piles, several long glass cabinets are placed in the center, the cardboard boxes next to the foot of the cabinet are also full, and the wall cabinets on the wall are also full of all kinds of objects.
Gong Bing looked around, and the store was empty, except for a few wall lamps and a chandelier in the center.
He walked to a closet, and then picked up a small clock about ten or twenty centimeters long and wide.
On the mottled metal shell, there are some smudges similar to oil paint, which conceal some of the original pattern style, the clock has stopped, and the hour hand is gone, this thing looks a little old, but seeing this thing being placed outside at random, it must not be worth much.
The most important thing is that he didn't feel a trace of evolutionary points.
"Child, how can I help you?" Just as he was about to put down the little clock, an old voice came from the corner.
Gong Bing turned his head when he heard the sound and saw a head sticking out from behind the high counter in the corner.
Loose skin and deep age spots crawled all over each other's faces, hair and beard were gray, and a pair of small, round glasses were framed on the bridge of their noses.
"I heard a friend introduce me, take a look at it, and have a long insight." Gong Bing said as he put down the small bell.
"As long as you have a good eye, you can find good treasures in me, and of course add a little luck." The old man slowly walked out from behind the counter.
Picking up a small wooden stick leaning against the corner of the wall, he knocked on the switch on the wall next to it, and the remaining lights were lit, and the store suddenly became much brighter.
The soft yellow light filled the entire shop, allowing Gong Bing to see the old man clearly.
The old man was dressed in dusty clothes, and a black cloth was tied around his waist, which seemed to be used to wipe his hands and prevent his clothes from getting dirty.
The old man's body is a little rickety, which makes the height of only about 1.6 meters look more and more short.
"I'll take a look at it myself, old man, you don't have to greet me."
"There aren't many ordinary guests here, so you can take your time." The old man walked to the small coffee table on the side, poured a cup from the teapot that was heated by the heat, and then handed it to Gong Bing, who walked in front of him.
"I'm closed at ten o'clock in the evening, and if there's anything to call me, I'll sit behind the counter." After saying that, the old man disappeared back behind the counter.
After taking the teacup, the crimson tea floats on the eared teacup with gold edge and white background, and there are many beautiful plant patterns on the face, which looks like a beautiful handicraft, even an antique.
I took a sip of it, and the tea flavor was strong and lingered in my mouth for a long time.
He put down his teacup and toured the shop again.
Because he was looking for antique things with evolutionary points, he needed to approach and touch each object, so he needed to touch everything in the store, and there were a lot of things in this store, and they were arranged in a mess, which seemed to take more effort than the previous store.
