Chapter 505: There's an Uncle Bao
The train finally reached its end, and they jumped off the train early and came to a strange city.
Like Changsha, this is also an ancient city, and it may be even older, and this is Xi'an.
In fact, it was not until the four of them were walking down the street that they figured out which city they had come to, which was undoubtedly unfamiliar, but the fat man suddenly became happy.
He excitedly told everyone that there is an old friend of his father in this Xi'an city, and he has to call someone Uncle Bao according to his generation, I heard that he and his father still had a lifelong friendship, at least they have gone down to the pit and touched the corpse together, but it is said that they have washed their hands in a golden basin a few years ago, and now they have opened a few large pawnshops and antique halls, which can definitely be regarded as a well-known figure in this Xi'an city.
The fat man stood on the street, holding his superb backpack and said with a smile: "Lao Gao, the rivers and lakes are in emergency, we have a place to go for this bag of dry goods, if I find Uncle Bao, how can this thing be sold for this amount." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and then smirked, "That's not a small number, isn't it?" In the future, we can eat and drink spicy food, and it is also a good choice to stay at home. ”
Gao Chao pouted and said, "You think you are an auction house, and 10 million can be obtained so easily?" Tell you, our thing is not a good thing, and it will not see the light, and if someone can give a million, thank God. ”
Xia Qing listened to the two of them, with a bitter face on the side, and didn't want to say a word, but the little goddess beside her looked playful, blinking her big eyes as if listening with relish.
Since they jumped off the train and entered the city, the little goddess's eyes are not enough, take a look here. Take a look there. The world is full of things in her eyes. It's all like a novelty.
Although the fat man was poured cold water on Gao Chao, the idea was still settled, after all, what they lacked most now was something vulgar - money.
The situation is not optimistic, and it seems that the city is no easier than the wilderness, and all the things on the four of them now are a pocket of gold armor and a 95-bar automatic rifle, of course. Both of these things are in the backpack, and the backpack is held by the fat man, so it is considered safe, otherwise, it will be a big mess.
Aside from these two dangerous things, they couldn't even find a penny on them, and not only that, but the four of them didn't even have an ID card, let alone find a hotel to live in, even if they slept under the overpass. I'm afraid I'll have to be arrested.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they were arrested. It's just that the appearance of the four of them is okay, but the current outfit is really unsightly, except for the little goddess's white gown that seems to never be dirty, superb, fat, and Xia Qing's clothes, there is basically no good place, there are holes everywhere, even if someone says that they are asking for rice flowers, they are definitely holding it.
In this case, if you think about the capital Beijing they want to go to, there is basically no hope at all, so no matter what, their first task now is to exchange gold for money, no matter how much money is exchanged, whether it is cost-effective or not, that is a later story.
Since it is necessary to change, there is no need for any democratic voting, although Xia Qing did not speak, but Gao Chao and the fat man can see her attitude from her face, in her opinion, this is a veritable resale of cultural relics, which is absolutely unacceptable.
However, in view of their current special situation, Xia Qing only kept his mouth shut, turning a blind eye.
But in the huge ancient city of Xi'an, it is not easy to find someone. What's more, they are penniless now, and even if they want to inquire for free, they don't know how to ask people.
But the fat man still has a way, after all, his family eats this bowl of rice, so the first place he inquired about was the antique street in the ancient city of Xi'an, because in any case, as long as the uncle Bao is in the antique business, there will inevitably be a good hall on the antique street.
As soon as I inquired about it, I learned that Xi'an is worthy of being the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, and there are as many as six or seven antique streets in this antique street, but if you ask carefully, the largest antique market is said to be a street of antiques in Baxian Nunnery, and it is said that the big antique households all over the country have opened a hall in it, so if Uncle Bao is really as awesome as the fat man said, then he must be found in Baxian Nunnery.
Without further ado, the four of them raised their heads with their chests straightened, rolled their arms and trouser legs, casually asked for a broken map, and took a big stride in the direction of the Eight Immortals Nunnery, and walked towards that side.
The Eight Immortals Nunnery is just a place name, there is a Taoist temple of the Eight Immortals Palace, so it is called the Eight Immortals Nunnery, but there are several big alleys around, but they are all veritable antique markets, large and small stalls are everywhere, and there are people who can put down more than 100 things in the place where the palm is big.
However, although there are many people, the atmosphere on the antique street is very good, no one is red-faced bargaining, and no one is noisy to sell, this place is definitely a first-class antique trading market, from which it is not difficult to see the Xi'an people's perception and taste for antiques.
The four of them walked in it, Gao Chao and the fat man were anxious, and they were not interested in the things on the stalls at all, but the little goddess had become familiar with Xia Qing at some point, although she had not yet spoken, but she wanted to pull Xia Qing to look here, touch there, and seemed to be full of interest in every antique.
Xia Qing also has the appearance of being a sister, although she herself feels very uncomfortable, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old little sister next to her, I am afraid that the age alone must be more than 5,000 years old, but she just can't make up her mind, so she has to accompany this little sister of the goddess to look left and right, and explain to her patiently.
The fat man inquired while walking, and when he saw someone, he asked where Uncle Bao was, most of the stall holders had never heard of this name, he inquired, and finally there was an old-fashioned person who knew this name.
According to the old way, Uncle Bao often goes to the Eight Immortals Nunnery to participate in the scriptures and enlightenment, every time he goes, he is not empty-handed, he is very generous, he is a famous philanthropist in this area, he has done a lot of good deeds, and has accumulated a lot of yin virtues, so that when the old Tao talks about Uncle Bao as a person, he can't help but give a thumbs up, and the foaming stars fly sideways for half an hour, but he has not been able to finish his good deeds and good deeds. In the end, the fat man couldn't wait, so he interrupted Lao Dao's words and asked where Uncle Bao's hall was located.
They thanked Lao Dao, turned east and west along the big alley, looked for a while, and finally looked up sharply, only to see a golden plaque in front of them.
This gold plaque is very generous, and there are four big characters in traditional Chinese on it: Baoshu Zhaitang. (To be continued.) )
