Chapter 308: I Want This!
Buddhism is prevalent in country T, and not only do people from their own country often visit temples, but also many people from abroad take time to make their vows at temples every year, so you can see various types of Buddha statues in many places here.
The reason why Gu Ming noticed the Buddha statue in this small shop was because this Buddha statue was very similar to the Buddha statue that Gu Ming saw in Mr. Liu's house when he was in Xinjiang, and they were all Buddha statues sitting and resting.
However, this Buddha statue is much smaller, at most about 3 or 40cm high, from the point of view of workmanship, the fineness of the two is comparable, but I don't know if it is an antique.
"That Buddha statue is not for sale." Qin Sheng saw Gu Ming staring directly at the Buddha statue and whispered in Gu Ming's ear.
Gu Ming glanced back at Qin Sheng: "How do you know?" ”
"You look around, there are no goods around the Buddha statue, and there are incense candles in front of it." Qin Sheng pulled Gu Ming a few steps closer.
Gu Ming only paid attention to the Buddha statue before, and really didn't notice anything else, but at this moment, as Qin Sheng said, the Buddha statue did seem to be not for sale, and it was specially placed on a shelf.
It's just that a Buddha statue is offered in the store, Gu Ming feels a little strange, generally the God of Wealth in the store should be offered!
"If you are interested in the Buddha statue, let's go to the temple another day to worship." Qin Sheng proposed.
"Okay, everyone is here, we should go to the temple to worship and see what is the difference between their Buddha statues here and our Buddha statues." Gu Ming nodded, and then looked away.
It didn't seem polite to keep staring at the Buddha statues in other people's stores, and when the store didn't notice the situation on her side, she pulled Qin Sheng to the side of the commodity area to pick up something.
Business is good in this shop. The things sold inside are also very local characteristics, because Gu Ming has the reason that Jin Sinan's gloomy wood, she has more preference for things like wood carving, so when she was picking things, she deliberately walked around the wood carving area and bought some wooden signs with strange styles, and the price was not too expensive.
A little bit into the store, Gu Ming found a large basket in a corner, and the basket contained a lot of bits and pieces, which looked gray and not very attractive. And then on the counter next to the big basket, there were some fabrics and stuff.
Gu Ming pulled Qin Sheng and walked over, and found that there were not many people near the basket, and occasionally a few came over to see and leave, and few people would buy things here.
"Why aren't there many people here?" Gu Ming walked to the side of the big basket. Look at what's piled up inside.
There are not many things piled up in the basket, and they are neatly arranged, but they look a little ordinary. People don't have any desire to buy when they see it.
The clerk saw Gu Ming and Qin Sheng coming over and said hello in not too standard English.
Qin Sheng didn't need Gu Ming to say, he stepped forward and had a brief chat with the clerk before returning to Gu Ming's side.
"What did you just say to the clerk?" Gu Ming asked.
The clerk's English was not very good either. When talking to Qin Sheng, there was no problem listening. But when it comes to speaking, it's a little difficult, and even body language accounts for the majority.
Fortunately, Qin Sheng didn't have anyone to say how long it was, otherwise he didn't know what to do in a hurry, Gu Ming saw that sweat was pouring out on the clerk's forehead.
"Aren't you curious about what this thing is, I'll stop by and ask." Qin Sheng replied.
"What are these, inventory that wasn't sold before, and is going to be sold now?" Gu Ming pointed to the contents of the basket, as well as the cloth that didn't look too bright.
"It is said that the goods left by the previous store owner have not had time to be moved, and they are displayed here for consignment, and if they can't be sold in a few days, they will be taken away." Qin Sheng explained.
Gu Ming then remembered. When she first walked into the store, she seemed to see the posters with the words "opening reward" again, and she blamed those posters for writing in English. If this was changed to Chinese, how could she not react until now.
Gu Ming bent down and looked at the contents of the basket. Turning his head to Qin Sheng, he said, "What was the store selling before, and the things in this basket don't look like tourist souvenirs." ”
"I didn't ask about that." Qin Sheng also bent down with Gu Ming: "What, are you interested in these things?" ”
"I like to shop for things in a mess, maybe I can touch a good baby." Gu Ming smiled at Qin Sheng.
When Qin Sheng heard Gu Ming say this, he immediately remembered that Gu Ming had found a lot of good things when he went out to Taobao several times: "It's a pity that there is no Taobao Street around here, otherwise I can take you to see it." This is a tourist area, and more souvenirs are souvenirs. ”
"This is not a ready-made Taobao place, where you can use it to go to any Taobao street, just this one, see if you can pick up some cheap back." Gu Ming simply squatted down, stretched out her left hand and picked it up in the basket.
Since her left hand has the ability, when she wants to pick something in everything, whether those things are antiques or not, Gu Ming will subconsciously stretch out her left hand to touch it first, this small detail, no one has noticed it yet, even she herself has no awareness of it.
Since Gu Ming was interested in the things in this basket, Qin Sheng naturally accompanied him, and followed Gu Ming to squat in front of the basket and help Gu Ming pick up things.
Since it is a backlog of inventory, the style is naturally a little less than the current trend, but the quality is quite good, and the few handicrafts that Gu Ming picked up casually are okay from the point of view of quality.
"How's this?" Qin Sheng looked at Gu Ming with a wooden comb with a somewhat strange shape.
Gu Ming took a look: "The material of this wooden comb is not very good. ”
Of course, Qin Sheng knew that the material was not very good, but he was just deliberately looking for something to talk to Gu Ming at this time, and seeing that Gu Ming was not interested in this thing, he put the wooden comb back into the basket.
The two men rummaged through the basket, but they didn't see anything they liked. Qin Sheng himself works in Gu Hongzhai, and there is naturally no shortage of good things he has seen, and ordinary antiques may not be able to be seen, let alone this kind of mass-produced handicrafts.
Gu Ming's vision is also much higher than before, but she has no prejudice against these handicrafts, but the movement in this basket is really not very much with her appetite, although the price is relatively cheap, it does not arouse her desire to buy.
"Don't have a favorite?" Qin Sheng heard Gu Ming's sigh and couldn't help asking.
Gu Ming put the small figure in his hand back into the basket and said to Qin Sheng: "It's a pity, Taobao failed and I didn't find something I liked." ”
"It's okay, let's change it." Qin Sheng stood up and stretched out a hand in front of Gu Ming.
Gu Ming naturally put his hand on Qin Sheng's hand, and with Qin Sheng's strength, he also stood up, moving his slightly numb legs.
"Let's go, I remember that there is a more distinctive small shop in front, and I don't know if it's still there, let's go over and take a look, there are special incense for sale there, and one of the soothing incense is very popular here." Qin Sheng said to Gu Ming.
"Okay." Gu Ming nodded when she heard this, grandpa's sleep quality has decreased when he is old, she has heard other people's advice to buy incense for grandpa to try, but the effect is not very good, now I heard Qin Sheng say that it is good, maybe it will be useful to grandpa.
More and more customers came to the store to look at things, and even the big basket where no one had come came came to the side, and one of them, a somewhat tall Western man, seemed to be interested in the contents of the basket, squatted down and began to rummage through the basket.
The Western woman who came in with the man looked at the cloth on the counter and gently stroked the cloth with her hand, as if she was very interested.
Bang!
“oh!” The Western woman who was looking at the cloth didn't know where she had come across, and several of the cloths on the side of the counter had been swept to the ground.
Gu Ming and Qin Sheng happened to be standing on the edge of the counter, but because Qin Sheng pulled Gu Ming to the side in time, neither of them was hit by the cloth, but a few pieces of cloth rolled to Gu Ming's feet.
Seeing this, the Western woman hurriedly said sorry to Gu Ming and Qin Sheng in English, and then consciously squatted down, ready to pick up the cloth on the ground.
Since the cloth had fallen to her feet, Gu Ming naturally couldn't pretend that she hadn't seen anything, so she naturally bent down and picked up the pieces of fabric that fell at her feet.
Bang dang!
When Gu Ming picked up a piece of fabric, a black thing slid to the ground with a crisp sound.
Gu Ming looked over curiously and found that the black thing seemed to be an elephant, to be precise, it should be an elephant-shaped ornament.
Qin Sheng didn't notice that something had fallen to the ground, took the cloth from Gu Ming's arms, put it back on the counter, and when he looked back, he saw Gu Ming squatting on the ground holding a black thing and looking energetic.
"What's wrong?" Qin Sheng returned to Gu Ming's side and stretched out his head to see that Gu Ming was holding a small ornament in the shape of an elephant in his hand.
Gu Ming took the elephant ornament in his hand and touched it, then looked up at Qin Sheng and said, "I want to buy this!" ”
