"So we can also infer that the old man who sold you the artifact is definitely not an ordinary person."

Tang Tang added, "But funerary objects of this quality are usually sold overseas through various channels or auctioned, so that more profits can be made."

"A person who secretly cheats a newbie like you who knows nothing can't be a powerful person."

She finally said, "So this old man was secretly selling it out. He probably took the money and ran away a long time ago."

"And it's no use for us to look for him."

Wang Feiyan was also annoyed. "One million or so is just a small amount of money, so it doesn't matter. The main thing is that I don't know what to give as a gift now."

Tang Tang said, "Let's go take another look. If it doesn't work, then go pick out a piece of jade and carve another set?"

"Can you make it?"

Tang Tang said, "It's still in time if you add money."

……

The two walked into the street and it was still the familiar scene.

On both sides of the bluestone road are various shops lined up next to each other, most of which are antique shops, jade carving shops, and occasionally some funeral shops.

Wang Feiyan took Tang Tang to the place where the old man set up his stall, and as expected, the stall was empty.

Tang Tang spread his hands to Wang Feiyan and said, "Let's go and look at each store. It will save us a lot of trouble if we find something suitable."

Wang Feiyan went to inquire around first and finally decided on three shops.

One is called Yong Yuxuan, one is called Manyuluo, and the other is called Cuifulou.

The two of them went to Yong Yuxuan first. As soon as they entered, a gentle middle-aged shopkeeper smiled and said, "Welcome, are there anything you like? Take a look."

Wang Feiyan nodded and said, "What's a suitable gift for a baby's full moon?"

The shopkeeper thought about it, then turned and walked into the warehouse and took out two boxes.

"If it really must be given to children, then these are the only two."

The shopkeeper watched Wang Feiyan open the box and explained, "My family mainly makes bracelets or large ornaments, and rarely makes children's items."

In the two boxes, the first box contains a set of small jade bracelets, which are icy green in color, but they can probably only be worn when one is five or six years old.

It is a bit dangerous for babies to wear this kind of jade bracelet nowadays. After all, babies like to move their hands and feet around, and it would be bad if they were broken or cut their skin.

But it’s not impossible to buy it now and use it later.

In the second box was a jade handle, which was an exquisite little gourd.

Wang Feiyan hesitated and said, "How about taking another look?"

The shopkeeper also smiled and said, "You have to choose the full-moon gift carefully. There are many shops on this street. Guests can go and have a look."

Wang Feiyan scratched his head, "Sorry to bother you with my candy."

"It's a small matter," Tang Tang waved his hand, "When you're done, please treat me to a meal, is that ok?"

"No problem!" Wang Feiyan was so moved that he almost cried, "If you want to eat the dragon in the sky, I'll shoot it down for you!"

The two of them went straight to Manyu Tower and smelled the fragrant scent of pear and sandalwood as soon as they entered.

The fragrance of fruit and sandalwood are intertwined, and the aroma is subtle. Compared with Yong Yuxuan, Manyu Lou is more exquisitely decorated. It not only has a landscape painting screen, but also beautiful tassel gauze curtains.

As expected, when the shopkeeper came out, Tang Tang's eyes suddenly lit up.

The shopkeeper turned out to be a very young and beautiful woman.

The woman looked about the same age as Tang Tang, and had a ladylike elegance. She looked at Tang Tang and smiled, "What a beautiful customer. Are you here to buy jewelry?"

When she smiled, she had two dimples on her face. She winked at Tang Tang and said, "If you buy it, I can give you a discount."

From the time Tang Tang and the other two came in until they finished talking, the young shopkeeper didn't even glance at Wang Feiyan.

Tang Tang smiled and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper. However, I am not buying anything myself today. Do you have anything suitable for a baby's full moon gift?"

"Full-month gift?" The shopkeeper tilted his head and thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "There are quite a few. You came at the right time!"

Wang Feiyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

The shopkeeper called out, "Ahan! Go to the warehouse and get these few boxes I recently received."

A man's deep voice came from behind, and the shopkeeper asked Tang Tang to sit over, "Come over here, I made the chestnut crisps myself, would you like to try it?"

Tang Tang sat over readily, and the young shopkeeper pushed over a small plate with a few small snacks on it.

【Tested, non-toxic. 】

Listening to the system's broadcast, Tang Tang picked up a piece with confidence and took a bite.

The slightly crispy shell unique to Chinese dim sum is a bit like peach pastry, which cracks when you bite it and the crumbs spread out in your mouth.

The chestnut filling in the middle is beaten into a fine paste with large chestnuts in it. It is not sweet and has only a light fragrance.

"good to eat."

"Hehe," the female shopkeeper laughed and introduced herself to Tang Tang, "My name is Qin Wanli, and I'm the shopkeeper of Manyu Tower."

Tang Tang drank a sip of tea, swallowed the snack in his mouth, and said, "Tang Tang, Chairman of Taian Film and Television."

"Nice to meet you, Shopkeeper Qin."

"Oh, it's my noble lady~" Qin Wanli smiled, and two dimples appeared on her face.

"Ms. Tang, you are so beautiful. Do you have any skin care secrets?"

The two of them were chatting happily, but no one paid any attention to Wang Feiyan, who could only play with his phone pitifully on the side.

"Wanli, I got it."

At this time, the curtain at the back was opened and a person came out.

The man was very tall and strong, with dark skin, a handsome and honest appearance. He walked up to Qin Wanli obediently and handed over the six or seven boxes in his hand.

The man called Akan was not only tall, but also had a large frame and could hold three or four boxes in one hand.

"Yeah, I want to eat chicken stewed with Sichuan peppers tonight~"

Ah Han didn't look at Tang Tang or Wang Feiyan, his eyes were only on Qin Wanli. After hearing what Qin Wanli said, he immediately nodded honestly, "Okay, I'll make it for you, and then I'll go home for dinner."

"I know~~ I also want to eat fried lotus root and sweet and sour pork ribs!"

Qin Wanli pushed the boxes to Tang Tang, "Here, these are all new arrivals, and they are all works of master Shen Baishan~~"

Wang Feiyan spoke up at this time, a little unconvinced, "Is this true? Shen Baishan's work? Why is it here?"

That’s Shen Baishan, a very famous sculpture master in China and also the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage.

His unique carving method makes his works sought after by many people. Shen Baishan has not produced any works for a long time.

Qin Wanli ignored Wang Feiyan and just snorted, "Believe it or not."

Tang Tang ignored their bickering and opened the boxes.

Shen Baishan's carving style is very recognizable. As soon as these boxes were opened, Wang Feiyan shut up.

It is indeed Shen Baishan's carving style, and every line is quite round and smooth, obviously not a low-quality imitation.

"Look~"

The two of them looked at each box one by one, and finally their eyes fell on one work.
