Chapter 5 First Arrival at the Antique Street
Modern people are very adaptable to the environment. The KTV thing did not affect people's mood for shopping. It didn't take long for the night stalls across the road to be full.
Fan Xiaoying drove Qin Yi to the school gate, and then took her sister back, Fan Xiaohan went home to live with her sister on weekends, and there were classes from Monday to Friday before living in school.
When Qin Yi returned to the dormitory, it was almost 21 o'clock, and the other three had not come back.
Life is back on track, and when the sun shines on the Polytechnic campus on Monday, Qin Yi also resumes his normal student life, attending classes, eating, and playing on his mobile phone. Of course, there is a lot less time to play with the mobile phone, and cultivation is the right thing. As for sleeping, it's already dispensable. As long as you practice for a while, you will feel unlimited energy, and you will be fine if you don't sleep for a few days and nights. When Qin Yi cultivates the Divine Dragon Technique, he will enter the Divine Dragon Space, after all, the endless heaven and earth aura inside does not need to be used in vain. As for whether it is necessary to leave some spare for the next Divine Dragon Commander, a fool will think so, haha.
Qin Yi couldn't help but think of the joke: "I think you're a fool!" β
Fan Xiaohan hadn't come to Qin Yi for several days, and Fan Xiaoying hadn't called Qin Yi, which made Qin Yi a little disappointed, it was estimated that the impact of that day's events on the two sisters was too great, and they hadn't eased up yet.
ββββββββ
In the blink of an eye, it was another weekend.
For Qin Yi now, there is no pressure on the curriculum set by the school, so he plans to use the weekend to go to the antique market in the city. It's literally, to go around. With his current economic conditions, he can't afford to buy fakes that are worth a little money.
Qin Yi's parents were just ordinary salarymen, barely able to afford to study on their own. Although Qin Yi also did some simple work-study in the past, he gained very little, and later gave up.
The school is in the suburbs, and the antique market is close to the city center, and it takes at least 1 hour to take the bus to transfer twice.
For antiques, Qin Yi is also a proper little white, pure and pure, and thorough.
In the past, there were very few antiques sold on the front of the store, and a large piece of oilcloth was thrown directly on the side of the street, and the things to be sold were directly placed on it, and you could pick whatever you wanted, and it was not introduced, nor was it fooled.
The current antique street, due to the unified planning and management of the city, has built a neat faΓ§ade house, and if you want to sell antiques, you must first take the money to rent a storefront.
The worst is yet to come.
In the past, you could pick and choose at the stall, and you could encounter rare goods, and it was too simple to make a small fortune.
Now, you can only pick and choose in antique shops, pick and choose, either assembly line products or fakes.
(This can only be said in private, not in the antique store, it is easy to be beaten, haha)
ββββββββ
Qin Yi arrived at the antique market at 8 o'clock. It is said that it is an antique market, in fact, it is a cross street, four or five hundred meters long from east to west, north and south, and the neatly arranged faΓ§ade houses on both sides of the street are like gold-swallowing beasts with open mouths, urging visitors from all over the world to hurry in to consume and send money.
Because it is a weekend, the antique street is crowded early in the morning, so it is not lively. For most antique lovers, in fact, they really don't come to Taobao, they just come to enjoy the fun of Taobao, as for whether they can find treasures, they don't care at all.
Qin Yi is young and dressed simply, neither like a rich and powerful son, nor like a master of literary play who cultivates his mind and perceives people's hearts. So even though Qin Yi has visited five or six stores in a row, there is still no store owner and shopkeeper who are willing to take care of him, which is a little embarrassing, haha.
Qin Yi didn't deliberately look for some antique books to make up for his evil just because he was a novice of antiques.

Briefly popularize the difference between antiques and cultural toys.
Cultural play refers to the four treasures of the study and the various stationery toys derived from it. These stationery have different shapes, finely carved, can be used and appreciated, making them arts and crafts in the study and on the bookcase. From its definition, it is not difficult to understand that cultural play is mainly based on self-cultivation, and the viewing and entertainment are more prominent, that is, to add a little chat to life!
Antiques, also known as cultural relics, bone dong, etc., are cultural relics left over from ancient times, including heirlooms and underground excavations, which are the cultural precipitation of human history, such as porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, etc.
ββββββββ
Qin Yi didn't have the money to pour and collect antiques, nor did he have so much time and energy to cultivate his mind and cultivate his mind. He just came and went. Of course, if he accidentally finds something special and picks up a big leak, he will also be happy to accept it.
In fact, when visiting the third store, Qin Yi did encounter a special antique, which was a three-legged bronze tripod. What kind of material, which era, Qin Yi didn't understand these things, he only knew that when he touched Xiao Ding, the divine dragon true qi in his body seemed to have a little reaction. When he asked the boss about the price, he was directly blasted out by the boss.
"That's the treasure of the town store, not for sale, you can't afford it, and you can't afford it."
Qin Yi walked away, he was not angry, he really couldn't afford it, just keep shopping, why do you want to do so much.
The time was almost noon, Qin Yi decided to stop shopping after visiting the house in front of him, after watching it all morning, he really couldn't understand anything, and there was no need to watch it, just have fun.
Just as he was about to leave, the shopkeeper stopped him.
"Young man, I see that you seem to be interested in that paperweight, can you tell me anything special about him?"
The owner of the shop is in his 50s, wears old-fashioned glasses, and I don't know if it's presbyopia or myopia.
"I don't know about antiques, boss, I'm just going around." Qin Yi was a little embarrassed.
"Oh!" The shopkeeper was slightly disappointed.
"However, I feel that this one, and that one, these two give me similar feelings, as if ...... Well, it seems to be a couple. Well, that's how it feels. β
The shopkeeper's head, which had already been lowered, was raised instantly.
"Are you sure, young man?" The shopkeeper spoke slightly nervously and slightly excitedly.
"Pretty much, not for sure. There are more than 10 similar shapes on that row of shelves, and if you have to find the two closest ones, then these two. β
Seeing Qin Yi say this again, the shopkeeper was really a little excited this time. You must know that paperweights are a literary play, one may not be too rare, but if it is two, and it is a little older, it is another matter. Maybe I found a treasure this time.
The shopkeeper quickly took out his mobile phone, flipped through the address book, found one of the numbers and dialed it.
