Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 492 Heading to Edinburgh

The Scottish Highlands are indeed a sparsely populated place, so human settlements that can survive here will always have some unique industries of their own that can survive.

For example, this Fox town was originally a small town mainly based on animal husbandry, and later gradually became a supply point on the road to the north and the only comprehensive school from elementary school to high school in a large area around it.

Although this place is developing well compared to those villages and small towns that are gradually disappearing, the overall development has now fallen into a bottleneck period.

According to the mayor, people in the town and the surrounding villages prefer to go to big cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow or London, so the population loss of the entire area is now a problem that cannot be ignored.

"We also know that this problem is basically unavoidable. After all, the level of economic development here is not high, and all kinds of income are low, so young people are naturally unwilling to stay here." Speaking of this core problem, the mayor seemed a little troubled.

Liang En and Joan of Arc listened quietly on the sidelines. For outsiders like them, it is best to listen more and talk less when they don't understand the specific situation at all.

The mayor said that these contents were just complaints, so after a few words, he turned the topic to the part about local history that Liang En wanted to know the most.

But the local history is indeed somewhat lackluster. As a wild place in the eyes of most British people, there are indeed not many relics of various personnel activities in the Scottish Highlands.

For example, the most historic existence in this small town is only a church built in the middle of the 18th century. As for the house where the nobleman lived when he was hunting, it has long been in ruins.

"In fact, your current residence was built on the remains of the hunting lodge five or six years ago, but when it was built, everyone didn't find anything special about this place." Finally the mayor said.

"I have to say, this town is really boring." Liang En said to Joan after the mayor finished chatting and left. "Probably the only fun thing to do here."

"But the problem is that the hunting season doesn't start until August 8 every year, and it's still a month away." Joan looked at the date on the phone and shook her head. "It's no wonder no one comes to this place."

However, this place also has an advantage, that is, you can stay away from the secular world and calm down to do things that you usually don't have time to do, especially this place is really very helpful for Liang En to carry novels.

"Although the spelling of the English letters is different, whether it is Fox Town or the rainy climate, this place seems very suitable for continuing to carry that "Twilight Saga."

Looking at the gloomy weather through the window, Liang En suddenly knew what he should do.So Liang En stayed in the room for the next few days and began to carry the novels that he hadn't finished carrying before.

Joan of Arc has been in charge of all kinds of logistics at the side these few days, and at the same time, she goes to the town to check the situation almost every day.

In addition to writing, Liang En also went to the ranch as previously agreed and rearranged the working situation of the ranch. Because there is a ranch at home, he quickly arranged the situation there.

The days of writing are naturally boring, even if the handling is much easier than writing by yourself, it is not a pleasant thing.

The only good thing is that the speed of copying is very fast in this environment where almost all interference is eliminated, so they completed their work in about a week.

"Finally, the work is finished." After carrying the third "Eclipse" of "Twilight" here, Liang En walked down the stairs excitedly, but unexpectedly found that Joan of Arc was not there.

"Jeanna, Jeanne—it's strange, where did you go at lunch time?" After searching around the room but not finding Joan, Liang En scratched his hair with some doubts. "Maybe I have something to go to town."

But just when Liang En was about to go to the kitchen to cook, the door of the room was opened, and Joan walked in from the outside, and his friend Pierce came in with him.

"Pierce, welcome!" Looking at his friend Liang En who walked in, he was a little surprised, but he still warmly welcomed his friend in. "Then you probably didn't have lunch, I just made lunch here, you can come and eat together."

"Thank you, it's still too cold here in the Scottish Highlands, I really need something warm." Pierce rubbed his hands and said, "Your place is really a bit out of the way, and the mobile phone signal is not good. It took me two wrong turns to find this place."

"After all, I won the competition, so you can accept some shortcomings." Liang En asked while cutting off a piece of cheese lasagna and putting it on the plate in front of Pierce.

"It's why you came here today. I remember that this season should be the best season for business. In previous years, you couldn't leave at this time."

"It's mostly because I hired two waiters this year, so I don't have to keep an eye on the store myself," Pierce said after taking a bite of the lasagna.

"As for my coming today, on the one hand, I am visiting you, and on the other hand, I hope that if you are free, we can participate in the auction at Edinburgh Airport."

"I remember that you basically didn't do airport auction business before." Hearing what Pierce said, Liang En immediately raised his head and stared at him. "You said airport auctions were too risky to find much of value."

"Yes, but now that our business has expanded, the original channels alone are not enough to provide enough products." Pierce looked a little helpless. "Now half of the items in the store are the modern crafts you bought."

"Of course, I'm not saying that these modern handicrafts are bad, at least compared with those antiques whose supply is not stable, this kind of handicrafts can provide a stable income for the store."

"But we are an antique store after all, and the antique business should not only be parked, but also placed in a more important position. Therefore, I must develop some new purchase channels."

"Understood, I understand." Liang En nodded to express his approval of his friend's actions.At least for now, Pierce's approach seems to be full of fighting spirit, which is quite admirable.

After eating, Liang En and Pierce drove to Edinburgh together. For them, the affairs here were almost dealt with, and the things that should be written were also finished, so it was time to leave.

Liang En has also heard about the airport auction in the UK before. Every year, there are always a lot of luggage or items lost at the airport. According to British law, those things lost at the airport will be auctioned if they are not claimed within six months.

Although most of the lost things are just some worthless clothing or daily necessities, sometimes, some valuable things can also be found.

This is especially true for a large transportation hub like Edinburgh, so Pierce will choose to go to that place at this time to see if there is nothing valuable, and determine whether it can become a new supply location.
