Chapter 143: Practicing Hands (2-in-1 Chapter)
Early the next morning, after Gu Ming accompanied Professor Wang to attend the exchange meeting's speech, she got the news that a small competition would be held on the last day of the exchange meeting to promote everyone's friendship. (.marshmallow)
Although this is in the name of friendship first and competition second, basically people from the same country get together, and the three professors on Gu Ming's side also brought their assistants to discuss with other professors.
After all, this is an international exchange meeting held abroad, and the organizers said that it was just a small competition, but the people present did not regard it as a small one, but secretly wanted to let the people of their country show their hands and show the strength of their country.
As Robert said, the participants had to be under the age of 27, and they had to be men and women who came to the meeting.
As soon as this kind of regulation came out, it suddenly increased the difficulty of the competition, and the original identification of the professional industry was more men and fewer women, and the organizers both limited the age and gender matching, which was really a little unprepared, and many people did not even bring female assistants when they came, and if they wanted to continue to participate in the competition, they had to look for it across borders.
Fortunately, this competition does not say that people from different countries cannot form a team to compete, otherwise it is not certain whether the number of participants can be gathered.
This time the competition will have Xue Lao as the general scoring judge, and the whole process will be carried out under everyone's gaze.
Signing up for the competition is voluntary, even though Professor Wang has not yet spoken, Gu Ming can see from the look in the other party's eyes that Professor Wang wants her to participate.
After the evening was over, Professor Wang specially asked Gu Ming to see what Gu Ming's plan was.
Gu Ming pondered for a moment. said to Professor Wang: "To be able to participate in the competition with so many people, and the referee has Xue Lao among them, the opportunity is really rare, I think it's better to participate, not for the ranking but also for more training." ”
"That's exactly what I think." Professor Wang nodded, looked at Gu Ming with relief, and said, "Originally, I didn't expect this kind of thing, but the organizer of this exchange meeting was really strict before, and I didn't hear the news at all. But since you want to compete, it's important to choose someone. Do you have a plan in mind? ”
"Professor Wang, what do you think of Qin Sheng?" Gu Ming asked.
"Qin Sheng?" Professor Wang frowned slightly, looked at Gu Ming and said, "How did you remember to choose him?" Although there is no stipulation that the person participating in the competition must be a professional like us, after all, this is a team of two, if Qin Sheng is with you. I'm afraid something is wrong. I think the assistant next to Professor Kwan is good, and his reputation has always been good. ”
As for Xia Jun, Professor Wang didn't think about the other party at all. That kind of person with a questionable character has never been Professor Wang's favorite.
"I've seen the flowchart of the game, and even though it's a team of two, there's no rule on who is in charge of what, which means it doesn't matter if it's done by one person. Although Qin Sheng is not in our business. But he has been doing it for so long in Guhongzhai, and he also has eyesight. Not worse than some professional personnel. What's more important is that I am most familiar with Qin Sheng than other people, and it is better to be with Qin Sheng than to be in a group with others. Gu Ming slowly analyzed.
"But in this way, your ranking ......" Professor Wang hesitated, no matter what, he still hoped that Gu Ming could achieve better results.
"Professor Wang, you know more about Qin Sheng than I do, don't you believe him?" Gu Ming asked.
Although Qin Sheng is not a professional in identification, he deals with antiques every day, how can he not have two brushes under the influence of his ears and eyes. It's just that he rarely comes forward to identify it, but judging from several major decisions, Qin Sheng is definitely not a person who doesn't understand anything.
Professor Wang did know more about Qin Sheng than Gu Ming. Thinking that instead of finding someone who doesn't know each other to re-run, it's better to find someone who is familiar: "Since you think this is the best." [Marshmallow] That's up to you, but have you discussed it with Qin Sheng, is he willing to join you? ”
"I've discussed it with him and he's interested in the game." Gu Ming said with a smile.
"Hmm." Professor Wang nodded, and continued: "That Xia Jun will definitely not let go of this opportunity, we know what to do with him, but this competition is a chance to give him some color and take a look, I know your ability, now you are more mature and stable, this competition will play well, it will definitely help you in the future." ”
Professor Wang is this character, he used to like to compete with Professor Liu, but now he looks at Xia Jun unpleasantly, and he wants to win Xia Jun to vent his evil anger to Professor Liu, who is sick in bed.
If it weren't for the age limit set by this competition, Professor Wang would even want to go out and teach Xia Jun a lesson himself.
Gu Ming has also studied with Professor Wang for a few years, how can anyone not understand what the other party means, so she nodded again and again, promising that she would not embarrass Professor Wang.
After solving Professor Wang's side, she went to Qin Sheng to discuss specific matters, in addition to what she told Professor Wang, she was willing to form a team with Qin Sheng, in fact, in the final analysis, there was also Robert's reason, after all, Robert had a request first, and she made up her mind to participate in the competition anyway, and promising Robert could be regarded as a favor, and it would also make it easier for Qin Sheng to do things.
Of course, she can't guarantee whether she can get the first place smoothly, anyway, she just promised to help, but didn't guarantee anything.
After Robert learned that Gu Ming and Qin Sheng had agreed to his request, he asked people to send some information about this competition for the two of them to refer to.
I don't know what the specific content of the competition is, but this information is written in detail about the background information about the candidates who are likely to participate in this competition, among which Xia Jun is still in front.
Gu Ming and Qin Sheng analyzed it, and according to the data display, there are several strong people in this competition, and the most eye-catching of them is Bill from country M? Green, this person, like Xia Jun, is the new star of this exchange meeting, but this new star is much more famous than Xia Jun. He also has a certain reputation in the industry, and he can be regarded as young and promising.
"You agreed to be on a team with me so simply, aren't you afraid that I will drag you down?" After the two of them took a rough look at the information, Qin Sheng suddenly asked Gu Ming.
"Gu Hongzhai has developed quite well in your hands, and the last time we went to the trading market at the bottom, you made a lot of fish, I believe you have a vision." Gu Ming replied with a smile.
"Don't need to try? Maybe it was just luck that day. After Qin Sheng listened to Gu Ming's words, his heart was also relaxed, and anyone who heard others believe in him was happy in his heart.
"If you can. That's great, we can practice first. Gu Ming became interested in Qin Sheng's words: "What, do you have any good proposals?" ”
"There are still a few days before the start of the competition, and we have plans to go to the flea market anyway, so why don't we go tomorrow?" Qin Sheng looked at Gu Ming and proposed.
"Good!" Gu Ming thought that there didn't seem to be anything very important tomorrow. Professor Wang asked a friend to chat with him, so it didn't matter if she didn't go.
The flea market abroad is actually similar to the second-hand market in China, where some people take out things they don't need to sell. You can not only dispose of what you don't need, but also get a certain amount of money.
It's just that this flea market doesn't exist every day, many flea markets only exist on weekends, and Gu Ming and Qin Sheng obviously can't wait until the kind of flea market that starts on weekends. But this didn't bother Qin Sheng. He took Gu Ming directly to a small town not too far from the hotel where they were staying.
"This flea market is usually held in the morning and usually ends at one or two o'clock in the afternoon. We were lucky enough to come across a flea market that was only held once a year in this town, and it wasn't usually that big. Qin Sheng didn't know where to find a car, and took Gu Ming to the destination smoothly along the way.
Gu Ming has basically stayed in the hotel and the exchange meeting these days and has not gone out, and today she suddenly saw the flea market full of people, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it.
In her opinion, it is better to call it a carriage market than a flea market, and most of the stalls have a car behind it, and the goods of the owners are moving their belongings from the car.
"It's not as good as the New Caledonia market, where there's a lot of antiques. But the market is also very good, I came here once and it was very rewarding. There are also many people who like to collect antiques here, and it depends on their luck if they can't find what they like. Qin Sheng took Gu Ming and walked inside cautiously.
The two of them got up at about five o'clock this morning. At this time, it was less than 7 o'clock when I arrived at the destination, but there were already a lot of people in the market, and it was very lively.
Although there are many people here, the order is still good, and there are several policemen/inspectors patrolling to maintain order.
"Let's go over there." Qin Sheng took Gu Ming to walk around among the many stalls, directly skipping the miscellaneous items such as clothes and household goods, and walking towards the stalls that were more likely to have antiques.
Under the leadership of Qin Sheng, the two came to a stall selling all kinds of gadgets, all of which were silver items, but because they were not properly kept, they looked dusty and some of them were oxidized.
Today's protagonist is Qin Sheng, Gu Ming naturally will not take the lead, but signals Qin Sheng to go first.
Qin Sheng didn't say much, and stepped forward to take a closer look at the things on the stall.
While Qin Sheng was carefully observing, Gu Ming was not idle, she was also looking at the things on the stall. She glanced at the things on the stall, and it didn't look like traditional silver items in China, but more in line with the aesthetics of Europeans.
However, during the Qing Dynasty, there was a lot of silverware for export, and maybe these things were exported during the Qing Dynasty.
In a place like this, the people who pick up leaks are the favorite, whether it is a big leak or a small leak, as long as it is a leak, it is a happy thing, the only difference is that most of the people who picked up leaks that Gu Ming saw before were yellow-skinned and black-haired, but the people who came and went here were white-skinned.
Although Qin Sheng is not a professional, he lacks a lot of eyesight to see things, so he looked around this small stall and didn't find anything suitable, so he motioned Gu Ming to go to another stall to have a look.
As soon as he took two steps, Qin Sheng grabbed Gu Ming: "Look." Is the person over there Xia Jun? ”
"Really, it seems to be Wang Juan standing next to him?" Gu Ming looked in the direction that Qin Sheng was pointing and said with some surprise.
"It seems that the two of us are not the only ones who want to practice." Qin Sheng chuckled.
Gu Ming nodded and looked towards Xia Jun and Wang Juan.
Wang Juan and Xia Jun didn't seem to notice Gu Ming and Qin Sheng, the two of them were standing in front of a stall full of groceries at this time, picking out something from time to time, and then talking to each other.
"Could it be that Xia Jun's teammate who is going to participate in the competition is Wang Juan?" Gu Ming looked at the movements of the two not far away, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
What is it called? Things gather by like, people by groups? Or is it that Wang Ba mung bean looks right?
Xia Jun is a white-eyed wolf, and Wang Juan is not a good thing. These two people get together, and they fit together as much as they look.
Gu Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly, why didn't she connect these two people before, what a mistake!
But this Wang Juan's movements are really fast, and it has only been a few days. I got on with Xia Jun, no wonder I didn't see Wang Juan come to her side last night to talk weirdly, and the dare lover was busy exchanging about the game.
"I remember. Looking at the meaning of Professor He and Professor Guan, it seems that they are preparing to let Wang Juan and Professor Guan's assistants form a team. Qin Sheng thought about it and said to Gu Ming.
"If you can manage him, let's go farther. I don't want to run into them. Gu Ming tugged at Qin Sheng, lowered her voice and said, "But your eyes are really sharp." Among so many people, I saw the two of them at once. ”
When Qin Sheng heard Gu Ming's words that were close to praise, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he pointed to his eyes and said, "If you do what we do, you can't have sharp eyes." ”
Gu Ming looked at Qin Sheng's rare expression, pursed his lips and smiled without answering.
The two of them walked in the opposite direction of Xia Jun and Wang Juan, and saw a lot of interesting things along the way. Women are born with a certain preference for jewelry, and Gu Ming was attracted by a small stall full of jewelry of various styles.
She was not the only one attracted by this stall, there were also many white girls giggling aside, and it seemed that they should still be students.
I have to say that teenagers in Europe are really well developed. Gu Ming looked at the beautiful little girl in front of her with chest to chest and waist to waist, and she really couldn't guess how old the other party was. The only thing that is certain is that people are indeed very precocious in some aspects.
She and Qin Sheng had been standing next to this small stall for less than five minutes, and Qin Sheng didn't know how many autumn spinach they had received. There was even a bold little girl who stepped forward to get close to Qin Shengtao.
Gu Ming originally wanted to see Qin Sheng's jokes, but it turned out that people were quite good at dealing with this kind of little girl, and after a few words, she not only sent the little girl away smoothly, but also did not offend anyone, and once again received a lot of admiring eyes.
"How's it going, is there anything you like?" After Qin Sheng successfully got rid of the enthusiastic foreign girl, he walked to Gu Ming's side.
Gu Ming hurriedly pretended to pick up a small brooch made of tortoiseshell and looked at it, although the workmanship of this brooch is not exquisite, but it can be seen that it is also some years old, Gu Ming's left hand touched it and there was a slight heat, but there was very little joy in his heart, and the voice that could be heard in his heart was even smaller, almost drowned out by the noise of people talking outside.
"Miss, this brooch is left by my grandmother, the style is very chic, and it is perfect when paired with a sweater." Unexpectedly, a white girl guarding this stall said to Gu Ming in fluent Chinese.
Looking at Gu Ming's surprised gaze, the girl showed a shy smile: "My grandmother is Chinese, and our family speaks Chinese." ”
In a foreign country to meet a white girl who can speak Chinese, this is still quite pleasant, Gu Ming looked at the brooch in his hand, although the thing is not valuable, but it is really good, it can be seen that the person who owned it before kept it very well, if it is a gift to buy back to his mother, it is not bad.
Qin Sheng stood beside Gu Ming, and when he watched Gu Ming choose something, his eyes were also looking back and forth on the stall.
At this time, he noticed a small box at the white girl's feet, and asked aloud, "Do you also sell the contents of this box?" ”
"Of course, if you are interested, you can take a look." As she spoke, the white girl lifted the small box and put it in front of Qin Sheng, and continued, "This one belongs to a friend of mine." Sir, just look. ”
There were a lot of gadgets in the box, which looked a little messy, Qin Sheng looked at it for a while, and then reached out and picked it up.
There are several necklaces inside, and it is troublesome to get entangled and untie them at this time, but fortunately, Qin Sheng is still patient, and he will untie these things after a while.
"What do you like?" Gu Ming picked the tortoiseshell brooch she saw at the beginning, as well as a pair of small coral earrings, both of which were not expensive to exchange for RMB.
"How's this?" Qin Sheng untied the chains that were entwined and took out the hairpin that had been inlaid with pearls all along.
Seeing that this is obviously an oriental style hairpin. Gu Ming also became interested.
There is a small pearl at the top of this hairpin, and then there is a smaller pearl hanging from the bottom, which is cute to hold in your hand.
"How's this?" Qin Sheng looked at Gu Ming and asked.
Gu Ming looked at the pearl hairpin, she really couldn't tell what age it was of this ordinary style, and stretched out her left hand to touch it. There was a wave of heat in his hand, which was not hot, but it also showed that this hairpin still had a certain age.
"Why did you like this at a glance?" Gu Ming asked.
"Intuition." Qin Sheng replied.
What a gut feeling!
Gu Ming smiled. Every time she doesn't want to say why she makes a judgment about something, she likes to fool others with the word "intuition".
Seeing that Gu Ming had no objection, Qin Sheng knew that he had not picked the wrong thing, so he simply bought the hairpin with the white girl. It's just that he just put away the hairpin, and his eyes jumped. It seems to have seen someone.
"Follow me." Qin Sheng glanced at Gu Ming, thought about it, and finally leaned into Gu Ming's ear and lowered his voice.
Gu Ming's ears were suddenly invaded by the hot breath exhaled by Qin Sheng, and she couldn't help but flush slightly, but fortunately, her face was quite normal, and after listening to Qin Sheng's words, she didn't ask much, just followed him to the side.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ming found that Qin Sheng gradually left the lively market with her and walked towards the houses in the town.
Although there are not as many people in the town as there are in the market, it is also much more lively than usual. In addition, because there are relatively few people at this time, many people are eating breakfast in small restaurants outside.
"I seem to see an acquaintance." Qin Sheng didn't look back, but his eyes kept patrolling the vicinity.
Gu Ming heard Qin Sheng say that he saw an acquaintance. He stopped speaking and quietly followed behind Qin Sheng.
After a while. Qin Sheng seemed to have discovered something, so he took Gu Ming and continued to walk into the town, until he stopped outside a small courtyard.
Without waiting for Qin Sheng to knock on the door, someone opened the door, and an oriental man with a beard poked his head out of the door, and his two eyes showed indescribable joy: "Qin Sheng, the speed is still so fast!" ”
"This one is natural." Qin Sheng was not polite to the man.
The man stood up straight, opened the door, and looked at Gu Ming: "This is ......"
"My friend." Qin Sheng glanced at the other party, and without waiting for the other party to move, he took Gu Ming to the house.
"Friends!" The man originally wanted to say something, but after receiving a warning from Qin Sheng, he touched the beard on his face and obediently closed his mouth.
After Qin Sheng led Gu Ming to sit down on the sofa, he opened his mouth to introduce him.
The man with the beard was named Yan Ling, and he was a friend of Qin Sheng who had worked with him before.
Gu Ming looked at the rough-looking man in front of him, and then looked at Qin Sheng who looked like a gentleman next to him, and couldn't imagine how the two of them had reached a consensus before, could it be that this strict order was also in the antique industry?
"Why are you here?" After everyone sat down, Qin Sheng asked Yan Ling.
Yan Ling's gaze kept going back and forth between Gu Ming and Qin Sheng, and when he heard Qin Sheng's question, he had to reluctantly retract his gaze: "I'm a complete patriot, it's a pure coincidence here, I have relatives here, I'm here to take a look." ”
