Happy Tycoon

As soon as he entered this shop, Yang Jing felt a familiar feeling rushing towards him.

Before coming to London, Yang Jing often felt this kind of atmosphere in the domestic antique market. Obviously, the owner of this shop that appeared in the Alfie antique market is likely to be a fellow from China.

Sure enough, when he pushed the door, he touched the copper bell above the door, and the bell made a crisp jingle sound, which immediately attracted the boss inside.

Yang Jing looked back at the copper bell hanging above the door and smiled.

In ancient China, it was particular about hanging copper bells at the door. In ancient times, people hung copper bells above the gates of their homes. One of the reasons is to allow visitors to ring the bells to notify the host of the guests. Another more important reason is that hanging copper bells at the door can town house.

In ancient Chinese Feng Shui, copper bells have the functions of warding off evil spirits, dispelling evil spirits, and keeping peace. Both wind chimes and copper bells have the effect of attracting wealth and dispelling evil spirits, but the five yellow evil spirits of wind chimes have the best effect. The sound of copper bells and copper bells has the effect of blessing and exorcising evil spirits.

Seeing Yang Jing looking back at the copper bell, the boss greeted him with a smile: Could it be that my little brother has taken a fancy to my bell?

Yang Jing turned his head when he heard the words, shook his head with a smile and said: Hanging copper bells at the door can restrain the five yellow evil spirits. For the gates and doors where the five yellow evil spirits fly to in fleeting years, copper wind chimes should be hung to transform the evil spirits. Because the five yellow evil spirits belong to the earth, so hanging them belongs to The golden copper wind chime can vent the rustic atmosphere. The swing of the bell can strengthen the golden energy, and arouse the golden energy to vent the five yellow earth evils. This is something from your town house, boss, and I don’t want to take it away.”

Hearing Yang Jing's words, the shop owner's eyes lit up, and he said, Hey, little brother is still an expert.

Yang Jing waved his hand and said, I made you laugh. I don't dare to call it an expert. It's just that I heard my grandfather talk about this when I was young, so I always kept it in my heart. Now it seems a little bit of a show.

Haha, little brother, what you said is wrong. If you don't say this today, I really don't know that there is such a thing as hanging a copper bell at the door. I hung this bell at the door for the purpose of If someone comes and can inform me, how would I know there is such a deep truth in it.”

After a pause, the Chinese boss in his fifties asked, I don't know where the little brother is from in China? I'm from Chengde, Hebei Province, and I have been in the UK for eight years.

Yang Jing said: We are not far away. I am from Tianqu, Lu Province. I am close to your Ji Province. We are half fellows. My name is Yang Jing, Yang from Yangshu, Li Qingjing, I don’t know What's the name of the boss?

The boss quickly said: I'm really half a fellow. My name is Huang Benchu, and my little brother can call me Lao Huang.

It is not so easy to meet a fellow countryman in the UK thousands of miles away from home. The boss Huang is obviously very happy, he pulls Yang Jing to sit down, and warmly makes a pot of tea for Yang Jing.

Yang Jing's left and right were also idle, and this Boss Huang was so enthusiastic, Yang Jing was also happy to chat with him.

Xiao Yang, did you come to England to study or to work?

I'm studying, I'm studying for a master's degree, and I can get my diploma in November.

Hearing Yang Jing's words, Boss Huang said enviously: It's better for you young people. If you can read more books, you can learn a lot. Unlike us, when we want to study, there are no books to read. When we are old, I can only set up a stall to make a living.

Yang Jing can understand Lao Huang's words. This Lao Huang should be a few years older than Yang Jing's father, and he is born in the 60s. When this group of people were studying, they happened to catch up with the buzzing era, and they really had no place to read if they wanted to.

Are you an immigrant? Yang Jing asked.

Well, I immigrated here. My son and daughter-in-law are both working in the UK. My wife didn't get up early, and I have nothing to do when I'm alone at home. This is why I immigrated under the pressure of my son. Hey, if you know that the UK is so difficult, I'd rather stay at home and guard my little stall than live here!

Lao Huang waved his hand distressedly and said, Let's not talk about this anymore. It will be a pain in my stomach when I mention this. Xiao Yang, are you here to shop in the market today or do you plan to buy something? If you want to buy something, I will give it to you You get a 20% discount. It’s rare to meet a decent fellow, and today I must give you a discount.”

Yang Jing smiled and said: Then thank you very much. I really want to buy something when I come here today.

Lao Huang pointed to the things in the store and said: Then you can take a look at my things first. Although there are no old items that open the door, most of the things here are genuine, and you can choose with confidence.

Yang Jing put down his teacup, stood up and began to walk around the shop.

The area of ​​Lao Huang's shop is not very large, about 30 square meters, but there is a staircase at the back, and the second floor should also belong to Lao Huang.

Lao Huang's shop is mainly engaged in miscellaneous cultural and entertainment products. Bamboo, wood, teeth, and horn carvings can be seen everywhere in the shop. There are also many inkstones, purple sand pots, brush washers, gourds, and cultural relics placed on the antique racks. Playing with walnuts and snuff bottles, there are also many embroidery and jade articles.

Although the size of the store is small, all these things are placed in an orderly manner. It looks messy but not chaotic. Boss Huang's intentions can be seen everywhere.

There are countless shops like this in the domestic Wenwan market, which is why Yang Jing could feel a familiar atmosphere just now when he entered the door. If he didn't know that this shop is in London, Yang Jing really thought he was back. What about the domestic Wenwan market?

But Yang Jing knew that before he could walk, his grandfather often carried him to the Wenwan market. This familiar atmosphere had already been deeply imprinted in his bones.

After seeking the consent of Boss Huang, Yang Jing started to do it.

Picking up a snuff bottle made of glass, Yang Jing looked it over carefully.

The workmanship of this snuff bottle is very exquisite. It is still a typical snuff bottle with inner painting.

Sure enough, seeing Yang Jing sizing up the snuff bottle, Lao Huang came up and said, Xiao Yang, you have good eyesight, and you immediately fell in love with this snuff bottle. This snuff bottle is one of the four major schools of painting pots in the Daoguang period. Although the works of the Ji school were not created by everyone, it is rare to be able to preserve them to this day.

Yang Jing nodded and said, That's right. Back then, the inner painting pots formed the four major schools of Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, and Guangdong. Among them, the snuff bottles made by everyone in the Beijing school have sold for more than one million yuan in auctions now. Although this pot of yours is not made by the four famous figures of the Peking School, such as Ma Shaoxuan and Ye Zhongsan, it is still a rare boutique. Boss Huang, how much is this snuff bottle?

PS: A chapter will come first on Monday morning, and everyone will watch it first. In addition, I beg for recommendation tickets, the more the better.
