The town is quite big, and the market is located in a huge square in the center of the town. Probably to help tourists find the location, there are many signposts on the road. Tomorrow is the market, and many people have come early today, so there are already many tourists on the avenue leading to the center of the town.
As Li Mo walked back and forth, he observed the shops on both sides of the road. No wonder a market was held every half month. If there were no activities, the businesses in the town would probably close down.
"Let's go to the exhibition site and have a look."
"The market explanation has just started. In fact, you can go out and buy the things you like tonight."
The seven people were not in a hurry, and walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the central square of the town. The layout there was circular, with a total of four floors inside and outside. There were daily necessities, food and snacks, books, and various promotions. The contents of the stalls are similar to those of fairs held in China.
Of course, what attracted Li Mo's attention the most was that there was a special area for displaying various handicrafts, but none of that kind of stuff had been put out yet. Where there are handicrafts, you can encounter authentic antiques.
"It tastes so sweet."
Li Mo took a few breaths and asked sweetly in the air.
"The candy maker over there has been surrounded by a lot of children." Steven pointed to a group of people not far away. Most of them were children, surrounding two rectangular tables. They all happily stretched out their hands as if to eat candy, "Generally In order to gather popularity, stalls like this will let tourists taste it for free in advance.”
"Candy is delicious?" Li Mo asked curiously.
Steven smiled and said: "Actually, the definition of candy here is relatively broad. In China, candy is just candy, but here as long as it is coated with a layer of sugar juice, it can be called candy."
"I understand, according to you, Kyoto candied haws on a stick is also a type of candy?"
"Exactly."
"Then let's go over and have a try."
Many stalls are already open for business, and there are many tourists. The main reason is that the food stalls are more lively. When they walked to the candy stall, they saw ten jars of various types lined up on two rectangular tables. The jars with lids come in different styles and colors, the most important of which are large porcelain jars.
There are pastel ones, blue and white ones, and single-glazed ones. Not to mention anything else, these large jars are very beautiful just placed here and can attract people's attention. In front of each jar is a box containing cut-up candies for free sampling.
Li Mo, who originally just wanted to taste the candy, was keeping his eyes on one of the large cans with a wonderful look on his face. I kept thinking about Amitabha in my heart. The American people are so amazing. When you walk around this small town, you can come across enough porcelain to become the treasure of the town.
"It's really delicious." Steven tasted one flavor and nodded one after another to express his liking. "Mr. Qin, try this too. It seems to be dried strawberries wrapped in a layer of crunchy molasses. It tastes really good." good."
"I'll try one."
Li Mo withdrew his gaze and began to taste it. After taking the first bite, he looked surprised and gave a thumbs up to the two hot girls. He tried the other nine flavors in turn, and they were all very good.
"Steven, ask them how they sell these fructose candies?"
Steven hurriedly communicated with the two hot girls. Unexpectedly, they replied that today is a free trial, and the official sale will be tomorrow, and the price will not be announced until tomorrow. He also said that if you like it, you can come and buy it tomorrow.
"I left here tonight and told them that I like all ten flavors very much. If they are willing to sell them, it doesn't matter if the price is higher."
Although Steven didn't understand what Li Mo meant, he still translated the original words, but the two hot girls shook their heads with regret and rejected Li Mo's request to buy at a high price.
"Mr. Qin, aren't we coming over tomorrow?"
Li Mo smacked his lips and said, "I just want to take some back to the hotel for the rest of the expert group to try."
"Then we can only bring it tomorrow. The stall owner is not here and the two hot girls are temporary workers. They can't make the decision."
"Forget it, let's just go shopping and then go back to Boston."
Before Li Mo left, he glanced at a large jar on the table. The hot girl couldn't make the decision, and she couldn't snatch it away. So she could only hope that when she came tomorrow, the big jar that could become the treasure of the museum would still be there intact. .
It was already dark when they returned to the Boston Hotel. Li Mo checked the time and saw that it was almost eight o'clock in the morning in China. He first took a hot shower and changed into clean and fresh clothes, then sat on the sofa and dialed Sirui's video call, which rang seven or eight times before he connected.
Qin Sirui came to the video with a baby in his arms and said with a smile: "Ruirui, look who is this? This is dad, call me dad."
Li Ruirui's big, clear and transparent eyes just looked at the camera curiously, with his left index finger in his mouth, drooling.
"Oh, your mouth is drooling. Are you greedy or are you about to grow baby teeth?"
"The gums are itchy, and I think baby teeth will grow in. This girl woke up after seven o'clock, and Sisi is still sleeping soundly."
Li Mo looked at the camera and said, "Are you in the Qin family compound?"
"Well, I came here to play yesterday, but I didn't go back."
At this time, Mr. Qin walked into the living room carrying a teapot, and he also came over and said with a smile: "You are so capable, but I heard from your aunt that you found a Tianzi made by Emperor Qianlong in Boston. No. 1 Da Yue Dao."
"Grandpa Qin, you don't know that there are a lot of good things here. In addition to the Qianlong Grand Reading Sword, we also found gold and silver animal head bows from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, jade artifacts from the late Neolithic period, and Qin and Han Dynasties. dragons, phoenixes, jade, etc., do you know what else I found this morning?"
Mr. Qin himself is a collector and has a lot of research on antiques. After hearing his question, he pushed Qin Sirui aside and asked, "What did you find again?"
“Various three-color tricolor excavated from the tombs of the Tang Dynasty, such as three-color tomb beasts, three-color official figurines, three-color warrior figurines, three-color knight figurines, three-color slave figurines, three-color zodiac figurines, etc. There are a total of one hundred and thirty-five pieces. Unfortunately, I came too late, and the seller originally had more than 500 pieces of porcelain, but he sold them as cabbage."
"How much did you spend on so many tricolors?"
"One hundred and eighty thousand dollars, it's as cheap as free."
"Any plans for tomorrow?"
Mentioning this, Li Mo looked serious and said: "Grandpa, I encountered a piece of porcelain at a small town market this afternoon. I initially judged it to be a Ming Xuande cloisonne dragon-patterned lid jar. Those foreigners actually used it for storage Candy, I wanted to buy it back today, but unfortunately the boss is not here, and I plan to rush there tomorrow morning."
"Xiao Mo, did you see the four-character mark 'Queen Supervision' on the Xuande cloisonné dragon-patterned lid jar?"
"There were a lot of people around at the time, and we didn't have time to conduct a detailed appraisal."
"If there is that four-character inscription, it is more precious than the Ming Yongle blue and white five-claw dragon vat that you bought before. It can become a treasure in any museum. Xiao Mo, where are you? Please pay attention to safety.”
"Grandpa, don't worry."
Mr. Qin walked aside with the teapot, and then Qin Sirui appeared in the camera with Li Ruirui in her arms. She kissed the girl's face and said with a smile: "I'll tell you some good news. The filming of Yingying's first online drama is about to start. She was quite serious and consulted several famous directors on many details."
"You will officially graduate from graduate school in June this year, right?"
"Well, there is something important I want to tell you. The ancestor of the Chen family in Huizhou has not been in good health recently. Dad, Sister Chen Feng and Xiaojun have all gone back to visit. Originally they didn't let me tell you, for fear of It will affect your work, but the ancestors of the Chen family are already one hundred and five years old and have been in poor health since last year, so after thinking about it, I still need to tell you."
"Didn't dad call and tell you anything?"
"I just said that I was recuperating in the hospital. I didn't tell me the specific situation. You can call me later to ask in detail."
"Okay, I'll hang up first."
