treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 278
After eating a not-so-authentic Chinese meal, Li Mo took a tourist map and walked slowly towards a nearby Taobao market.

Bermondsey Antique Market is one of the famous antique markets in London. It opens at [-]:[-] am on two days every weekend. Generally, those who want to find really good things will get there early.

After the sun rises, the antique market will basically be occupied by tourists from all over the world.There are a lot of century-old antique shops here, all of which are family inheritance.

However, there are no fixed seats in the open-air market outside, and good locations are first-come, first-served.Everything from antiques, handcrafts, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry, toys and more.

Bermondsey Antiques Market is definitely a treasure hunter's paradise.

Li Mo looked at the bustling crowd in front of him and listened to the different accents from all over the world, feeling that this place is a miniature of the world.

"Boss, I'm really sorry, jet lag is too uncomfortable." Qu Yang rushed over panting, he probably didn't exercise much at ordinary times, and he was out of breath from running, Li Mo was really worried that he wouldn't be able to catch his breath.

"Didn't I tell you to make adjustments at the hotel?"

"Jet lag also depends on the person. Some people can be normal in a few days, and some people may not be able to recover in a month or two, and they suffer from insomnia every day and cause sleep disorders. I've been jogging all the way and my energy has improved."

"Now that we're here, let's go shopping together."

Li Mo followed the flow of people into the street of the open-air market. The form of the stalls outside was similar to that of the antique street markets in China. The casual thing was that a piece of cloth was spread on the ground, and various gadgets were placed on it.The one with better specifications is the free cart, which can be placed or suspended.

Li Mo didn't know whether the ability of different pupils could also work here, so when he saw a candlestick with a somewhat old appearance and green rust, his eyes covered it.

A clear light radiated from the body of the candlestick.

Then he looked at a stone sculpture next to him, and a gray light was transmitted from its body.

Hey, this different pupil ability can also play a role in dating these foreign antiques or handicrafts.Although I don't know which foreign master carved the stone carving, but judging from the color of the halo, the stone carving has a history of about 300 years ago.

As for the candlestick, it seems that antique counterfeiting techniques are well known both at home and abroad.

The stall owner is a blond boy about ten years old. Regardless of his young age, his clothes are full of rebellion and are more avant-garde and exaggerated.

Li Mo pointed to the stone sculpture, and then to himself. What he wanted to express was whether he could take a look.

"can."

The little boy nodded with a smile. He can speak Chinese without being stiff.

Li Mo picked up the stone sculpture, about 15 centimeters high, in the image of a man with rough lines, sharp features, exaggerated and powerful muscles, and a long sword in his hand, like a fighter.

"how much is it?"

The little boy held out two fingers.

Li Mo looked at the stone sculpture, and then gently put it back on the spot, the little boy showed a hint of disappointment on his face.

The scale of the antique market is not small, and there are a variety of things on display, only you can't think of it, and there is nothing you can't see.

Li Mo has been watching, and occasionally asks someone who is interested, but Qu Yang is the one who translates.

The two walked in front, and the eight people behind were scattered in all directions to keep an eye on them at all times.

After shopping for more than an hour, Li Mo finally came across an interesting booth. This open-air booth is not big, but the items on display are all from China, including porcelain, the Four Treasures of the Study, ancient coins, and a few rusty Swords and several wooden boxes with peeling paint, I don't know what is inside.

The stall owner was an old man with a big beard. He sat on the ground anywhere, with two small bottles of spirits and a package of grilled chicken to go with the wine.At this moment, he drank a small amount of strong wine, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Can I take a look at these?"

When Qu Yang started talking to the stall owner, Li Mo could only understand a little bit.

After a few rounds of conversation, Qu Yang whispered, "Boss, the stall owner said that he can buy up to five pieces, and if he accidentally breaks them, he will be compensated according to the price."

Every commodity on the booth has a clear price, ranging from five hundred euros to tens of thousands of euros, and even the few broken boxes have their prices marked.

And the price is not low, it would cost more than 3 yuan when converted into Huaxia currency.

Li Mo didn't do anything, but directly covered it with different pupils, and then saw streaks of clear light coming out, all of which were modern handicrafts, maybe they were bought from JDZ.

Just when he was a little disappointed, a pale golden halo was emitted from one of the rectangular wooden boxes, and then the halo was like bubbling bubbles, and golden halos spread to the surroundings.

There is actually a treasure from the Han Dynasty hidden in the seemingly dilapidated wooden box.

Li Mo focused his gaze, and looked through the wooden box, and saw a tiger-shaped thing inside the box, and there seemed to be an inscription on the surface.

The first thing that came to my mind was that the treasure inside was the Han soldier talisman, and it was also a tiger talisman.It is really unexpected that a national treasure from the Han Dynasty can be encountered in this foreign country.

Be sure to take it back.

Li Moyitong took a closer look at the booth again. Except for the tiger talisman, everything else was an ordinary handicraft.

He withdrew his gaze, squatted down, picked up a plum bottle and looked it up, shook his head after a while and put it down.Then I picked up the second one, which was a pastel plate, which looked colorful and beautiful, but the glaze was still rough and the craftsmanship was too poor.

Sighing again, he seemed to have lost interest in porcelain.

Li Mo's eyes shifted to the three wooden boxes. He reached out to pick up the wooden box containing the tiger talisman, opened it, and found a green rusty tiger talisman inside.

This tiger amulet is about 9 cm long, about 3 cm high from the front foot to the tip of the ear, and about 2 cm high from the back foot to the back.Die-cast, crouching tiger shape, squatting front and rear feet, protruding head, erect ears, and curling tail.

Li Mo took out the Tiger Talisman, which was a bit light, about 100 grams.On the body of the tiger talisman, under the green rust is an inscription in small seal script.

The inscription has been blackened. After looking carefully, there are a total of 39 characters in the inscription.

"This is a tiger charm with a silver inscription."

Li Mo touched the inscription, and over time, the silver had been severely oxidized.

He held back his excitement, put the tiger talisman back into the box, and then picked up the second wooden box, which contained a jade hairpin. Although there was gold on the surface, it was obviously a modern handicraft, and the jade hairpin The material is too inferior and the value is not high.And the third wooden box is an empty box with nothing in it.

Li Mo lifted the jade hairpin in the second wooden box and asked Qu Yang to bargain.The price is [-] euros, and the direct counter offer is [-] euros.

Qu Yang began to bargain with the stall owner, the two of them were arguing very red, and finally Qu Yang turned his head and said embarrassedly: "Boss, this old man is really stubborn, he said that he would never sell it for less than [-] euros. "

Li Mo shook his head directly, the price was too high, it cost more than 1 Huaxia coins.He decisively put the jade hairpin back into the wooden box, then got up and left.

At this time, the bearded old man finally greeted again and again.

"Boss, the old man said fifteen hundred euros will do."

Li Mo stopped, turned around, glanced at Qu Yang, then looked at the wooden box on the ground, hesitated for more than ten seconds and said, "These two are worth [-] euros, not a cent more. If I sell them, I will take them away." , no more haggling."

Qu Yang became strong this time, pointing to the two wooden boxes selected by Li Mo, and offered the final price.The bearded old man moved his mouth, then raised his head and took a sip of the spirits, and finally said: "OK, ok."
