Antique Dealer

Chapter 136 Reaction
Halfway through the car, Zhao Hulu yelled that he was hungry. It was already noon, so everyone found a restaurant on the side of the road.

Not to mention, this small restaurant, which can't be found on the APP, has a lot of customers, and the seats are full. The three of them waited for more than ten minutes to get a seat.

Originally, Zhao Hulu couldn't wait to change to another restaurant, but both Fang Hao and Qian Min said that the dishes made by such a restaurant must be delicious.

I ordered a few local specialties, and when the dishes were served, they were as delicious and authentic as Fang Hao and the others said, which well reflected the characteristics of Xijing's local dishes.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Hulu wiped his mouth with a napkin and burped: "I didn't expect the food in this small restaurant to taste so good."

Fang Hao asked, "Are you here for the first time too?"

"The place I usually go to is not much worse than the Wuyi Hotel. If today's time is not coincidental, I will definitely take you to Xijing Restaurant." Zhao Hulu smiled and began to show off again.

"There is a chance." Qian Min chuckled lightly.

"What did you say?" Zhao Hulu was so focused on the beautiful woman waiting for a seat at the door that he didn't hear Qian Min's words clearly.

"It's nothing." Qian Min changed the subject: "By the way, have you contacted your friend, is he eating now?"

"I almost forgot if you didn't mention it." Zhao Hulu patted his forehead, made a phone call and walked out of the restaurant.

When he was about to walk to the door, Fang Hao noticed that when the beautiful woman Zhao Hulu saw just now saw him, she was obviously stunned, and then a shocked expression appeared on her face, showing a look of disbelief.

Fang Hao immediately realized that this beauty was probably the same as Tang Mingshan, and he regarded him as Lei Zi, so he smiled at her.

Unexpectedly, the woman's reaction was very violent, she screamed, turned around and ran away, everyone around her looked at her, and her companion who was playing with her mobile phone was also startled, surprised, and quickly chased after her.

Zhao Hulu, who was on the phone, looked bewildered: "What's going on with that girl?"

Fang Hao shook his head: "I don't know."

Qian Min saw Fang Hao smiling at the girl just now, and was also very curious about why the other party had such a big reaction, but since Fang Hao didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

For the three of them, this was just a small episode, and they got into the car and set off soon.

Zhao Xiaorui caught up with her best friend: "Yuwen, what's the matter with you?"

Liang Yuwen stopped and looked behind again: "Didn't you see it just now?"

"What did you see?" Zhao Xiaorui was still confused: "Did you see a ghost?"

"You're right, I just went to hell!" Liang Yuwen still had a little panic on her face.

"It's broad daylight, what the hell, are your eyes blurry from hunger, or do you have a fever?" Zhao Xiaorui tried it on her best friend's forehead with her hand.

Liang Yuwen ignored Zhao Xiaorui's actions, and murmured: "Tell me, are there two people who look exactly alike in this world?"

"The twins should be about the same, but there will definitely be some differences." Zhao Xiaorui said: "By the way, you should make it clear what you saw just now. If this happens, I want to send you to the hospital. !"

Liang Yuwen recovered from her dazed state: "Do you believe it or not, I saw your cousin just now!"

"Which cousin?"

"Zhao Lei! It's the one who jumped off the building two months ago!"

"What?" Zhao Xiaorui was also stunned, and after a while, she said in disbelief: "You said you saw Zhao Lei?"

"Correct!"

"You don't have vertigo!"

"My eyes are fine!" Liang Yuwen seemed very excited.

Zhao Xiaorui felt that there was something wrong with Liang Yuwen's reaction, but at this moment, she couldn't care about such details anymore, she shook her head: "Impossible, what you saw must not be the same person! Think about it again, that person just now really Exactly the same as Zhao Lei?"

"This..." Liang Yuwen recalled for a moment, then hesitated, "It seems to be thinner."

"I said yes, you must have read it wrong!" Zhao Xiaorui said: "Zhao Lei's fat is congenital, and it is difficult to lose weight! Over the years, it's not like he hasn't lost weight. For the longest time, he lost weight. I haven't lost a few pounds in two years!"

Liang Yuwen finally settled down: "But that person is really very, very similar to Zhao Lei, could it be that your aunt gave birth to twins?"

"I think you've read too much news. Don't take accidents as a common thing. If it's common, it's not news."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiaorui stared at her best friend's face.

Liang Yuwen couldn't stand Zhao Xiaorui's gaze: "Why are you looking at me like that!"

"I think your reaction is a bit big." Zhao Xiaorui said thoughtfully, "Is it true that you and Zhao Lei were in love as they said?"

"I admit he's a little handsome, but he's not my type."

Liang Yuwen shook her head again and again, seeing that Zhao Xiaorui still didn't quite believe it, she raised her hand and said, "It's absolutely true, if I lie, I will be punished by being drowned!"

Zhao Xiaorui stomped her feet: "You are a real person, why don't you swear properly!"

Liang Yuwen smiled: "Now you should believe it."

"Okay, okay, I believe it, let's go to the head office!"

Zhao Xiaorui continued: "Shall we go to the restaurant just now for dinner?"

Liang Yuwen's head shook like a rattle: "Let's change to another one!"

Zhao Xiaorui said with some disappointment: "Okay, I still have a photo of Zhao Lei in my phone, so I want to ask about it."

Liang Yuwen gritted her teeth secretly: "Then go ask."

The conversation was divided into two parts, and Zhao Hulu parked the car in the parking lot of Xiaodongmen Antique Market, where the friend he said was running an antique shop.

This market was originally a famous flea market that has continued since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is commonly known as the "ghost market".Today, it has been transformed into a group of antique buildings a few years ago, covering an area of ​​more than 7000 square meters.

However, in response to the general environment of the domestic antique market, this market is now very deserted, making Fang Hao feel that hundreds of shops are surviving in a precarious environment, as if they are about to close down at any time.

In such a deserted scene, there are usually no customers to patronize, how can the capital flow?This also makes it hard for Fang Hao to believe that Zhao Hulu's friend is so good.

Zhao Hulu may have seen Fang Hao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. In our business, as long as we have goods in hand, we are not afraid of no business. And there is also an advantage here, at least the rent is cheap. .”

Fang Hao didn't take this seriously. The rent here may indeed be cheaper than that of Baxian'an, but why is it cheaper? Isn't it that there is no passenger flow?No passenger flow means no business, no business at all, can the rent be earned back?
Besides, in the antique business, wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and good goods are not afraid of being sold. If this is the case, why open a shop and make the landlord cheaper for nothing?
This is obviously unreasonable!
This made Fang Hao couldn't help but think about it, would he open the shop just to cover up something?
This idea flashed in Fang Hao's mind, and he smiled to himself, let Qian Min worry about it.

The three walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the door of Zhao Hulu's friend's shop.

Fang Hao looked around, the location of this store is really not good, it is in a corner, even if there are tourists, there are almost no people here.

Before going in, Fang Hao and Qian Min looked at each other without saying anything.

Zhao Hulu smiled and said, "Monkey, what are you doing? I called you just now, and I don't know who will pick me up at the door."

"Go away, are you the emperor? I still want to pick it up!"

Fang Hao also walked into the store and saw Xu Qi giving Zhao Hulu a glance. This Xu Qi is thin and has a pair of protruding ears, but her voice is very thick, which is in huge contrast with his image. Listening to the voice, one would never have imagined that he would look like this in real life.

Zhao Hulu walked up to Xu Qi and put his arms around his shoulders: "You are getting fatter and bolder!"

Xu Qi said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't mess with me, it's annoying!"

"What's bothering you?"

Zhao Hulu walked to the table on his own, greeted Fang Hao and Qian Min to take a seat, and made tea for them.

Xu Qi first scolded "shit and shit": "That bastard tiger head, you got the goods wrong."

After hearing this, Zhao Hulu finally stopped laughing and joking, walked back to Xu Qi, and whispered, "Are you talking about the goods for Mr. Wang?"

Xu Qi glanced at Fang Hao and the others, and lowered her voice: "It's that batch of goods! Now Mr. Wang is getting angry. I think Hutou will have to peel off his skin if he doesn't die this time! It's not my business whether he lives or dies. It was a disaster for him, not only did he not make any money, but he also had to pay for it!"

At the end, he gritted his teeth and his expression became a little ferocious.

"How could this kid make such a mistake!"

Zhao Hulu also had a headache, he thought for a while: "Let's talk about this later, where are the walnuts I asked you to prepare?"

"I'll get it!"

Zhao Hulu returned to Fang Hao's side, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, something happened, and he's not in a good mood. If he has a bad attitude later, please bear with me."

Both Fang Hao and Qian Min expressed their understanding.

Xu Qi walked over with a cold face, holding a box, and he put the box on the table: "Look for yourself, the old lion head from the Qing Dynasty, the things are authentic!"

Wenwan walnut has four famous products, lion head, official hat, tiger head and chicken heart.The order is their ranking, and the so-called lion head is named according to the long shape of the walnut. If you look at the lion head walnut upside down, the walnut pattern is like the mane of the stone lion in front of the old yamen gate, so it got its name.

Fang Hao nodded, opened the box, and saw a pair of walnuts lying inside. The shape was round and dignified, the texture was fine and hard; ; The color is bronze, the paste is fine, and it shines with the luster of gemstones like red agate, and the hand feels warm and moist like jade.

Such walnuts can be seen at a glance, but considering the pair they saw in the morning, Fang Hao felt that it was better not to be sloppy, so he took out the magnifying glass and examined them carefully.
