Brimfield Antique Fair is a large-scale professional antique fair in New England. It is known as one of the top ten antique fair flea markets in the world. It is exhibited three times each year from May, July and the end of August to the beginning of September. A total of six days. ;

The exhibition was held in Brimfield, a small city in Massachusetts, a four or five hour drive from New York.

Although the gang of Italians had promised not to come to Jin Muchen's trouble, Uncle Fang was still worried that the other party would have follow-up means, so he still asked Jin Muchen and Candace to go out for a while to avoid the limelight. After all, Jin Muchen killed the other's two people that day. .

In terms of the revenge mentality of those guys, even if their boss has promised not to take revenge, it is not guaranteed that some of his subordinates will not be able to control their emotions and come to take revenge in private.

What's more, Jin Muchen is no longer the penniless rookie he used to be. Now he is a millionaire worth millions, and now he is porcelain, and others are rotten tiles, so there is really no need to stay here and take risks.

After a night of lobbying by Uncle Fang, Jin Muchen finally agreed, and set off with Candace the next morning to Brimfield City.

First, to avoid the limelight, but also to gain some knowledge. After all, as an antique dealer, how can you miss such a grand antique fair in New England?

However, after the departure, the gods were not beautiful, and only after leaving New York City, it began to rain, and the rain became more and more the more we walked. The original four or five hour drive took seven or eight hours before I felt Brem. Suburbs of Field City.

But when I got here, there was bad news again, because today's heavy rain washed away the roadbed that entered the city. So the highway is closed, and all passing vehicles and passengers either have to detour or have to temporarily find a place to stay for the night. Let's see the situation when it's sunny tomorrow.

The location of the Brimfield Antiques Exhibition is located in an open field in the eastern suburbs of Brimfield City, but now Jin Muchen and Candace are trapped in the western suburbs of the city. The two cannot enter the city tonight, but No need to detour.

"Why don't you find a place to stay for the night. Tomorrow is in the past."

After driving for a day, Jin Muchen was very tired, so he said to Candace, who did not object.

It's a pity that the road is windy and rainy. In addition, Brimfield is a small town. The motels on the outskirts of the city are basically full. There is no way for the two of them to find a way to see if they can find someone on the side of the road. Stay overnight.

Massachusetts is an old-fashioned economic power state in the New England region of the northeastern United States, so the folk customs here are relatively simple, and it is not difficult to find a family for accommodation.

Jin Muchen and Candace drove a car around the western suburbs of the small town. Finally, I drove the car into a farm. This family looks like a family with a very good economic situation, because their house is very stylish, with a bit of the momentum of a European castle, and even the walls are made of stones. .

This is very different from the wooden houses of other farmers. You must know that building such a house in the United States is not cheap.

When he knocked on the door and explained his intention to the head of the house, especially the old couple in their fifties, they could see Candice's sweet face clearly. After being Asian with Jin Muchen, he relaxed his nerves.

After all, a pretty girl like Candice doesn't look like a bad person, and her boyfriend is Asian. Especially looks more like an East Asian, such a person is known in the United States for abiding by the law.

So the head of the household happily agreed to their request, even rejecting their willingness to pay.

In just a few short steps from the car to the room, the two of them were already chilled by the pouring rain, and the very kind-looking white old lady in her fifties returned it to them. Found two blankets. Then let them come to the fireplace in the great living room.

Although it is August, the latitude here is relatively high, and it is close to the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes, so the temperature is already quite low, not to mention today's pouring rain has brought the temperature here to a new low, only 15 to 16 degrees above zero. about.

The head of the household is an elderly couple in their fifties who are more afraid of the cold, so the fireplace has been raised in the house, wrapped in blankets, sitting in front of the fireplace, drinking the hot soup brought to them by the Lewis couple, Jin Muchen was exhausted all day. Swept away, even Candace's pale face regained a bit of blood.

"Did you go back to school to go to school?"

Gary, the old man in the head of the household, asked the two of them that Massachusetts is a well-known educational powerhouse in the United States, and the world-famous Harvard University and MIT are both here.

And Candace and Jin Muchen were both young and looked more like college students, so Gary couldn't help but ask.

He and his wife, Lawrence, have been living on this farm for decades. When their children grow up, they all go to work in big cities, so they will inevitably feel lonely on weekdays. Today, two young people are here to stay overnight. , looks pretty good, so the two old people are very happy, and they open the chat box.

"Uh... no... we're here to visit the Brimfield Antiques Show."

Jin Muchen replied that the old man was happy when he said that. He has lived here for decades, so of course he knows a lot about the antique exhibition.

Then he began to explain his knowledge of the antique exhibition to Jin Muchen one by one. Jin Muchen and Candace also listened with great interest. After all, the old man is a local, and the information he knows must be better than that of the two newcomers. Much more, listening to his words can make them take a lot less detours.

"By the way, are you an antique dealer?"

The old woman suddenly asked Jin Muchen to arrive, and Jin Muchen nodded.

"That's great, it's like this, our two grades are also older, and after a while, we plan to sell the farm and move to the city to live. Our family used to have a lot of antiques, but they were sold one after another. A lot has been lost, and there are still some left that have not been sold, can you take a look, and if there is a suitable one, you can make a price..."

Mrs. Lawrence talked about the situation in their house, it turned out to be Gary. Lewis' father is a British. During World War II, he was an intelligence liaison officer stationed in China, so he also collected a lot of good things in China during that time.

After the end of World War II, he immigrated to the United States with his family and lived in the small town of Brimfield.

After the rise of the Brimfield Antiques Fair, Gary also sold the things left by his father one after another at the Antiques Fair several times.

There are still a few things left, but this year, the husband and wife are both old, and they don't plan to go to that antique fair to join in the fun. It happened that Jin Muchen, an antiques merchant, came to the house today to spend the night, so they moved their minds to see if they could Get rid of a few of the original things.

Of course Jin Muchen didn't refuse when he heard it, and then the old couple led the way through the side door and directly into a storage warehouse next to their house.

In fact, the warehouse also functions as a stable. There are several ponies in it, the ground is full of hay, there are also several baled hay stacks, and various farm tools are hung on the walls.

The things that Lawrence said were placed on a simple wooden shelf at the back of the warehouse. Jin Muchen walked over and glanced at it briefly, but there was nothing that interested him.

They were all shoddy imitation china in the early days of the Republic of China. These things may have been the tuition fees paid by Gary in those days. The original excitement of seeing these things gradually disappeared.

If you think about it, the things that my father brought back from China have been around for decades. Even if they are slowly sold over the years, they are almost all sold at this time. Now, where can there be any good things left?

He told the Lewis couple about the actual situation of those things. The old couple were also very open-minded. After knowing that those things were fake, they didn't show any signs of beating their chests. They just said a few times with a smile, sorry for the trouble, and then brought Taking Jin Muchen and Candice back to the room, but at the moment of entering the room, Jin Muchen suddenly saw a black and shiny wood next to the morning stables, shining with a leisurely light, he felt in his heart. Moved past.

"Gary, what is this?"

"Oh! That! That's the horse stake I've used for decades. Every morning I get up and go out for a ride. When I get back, I'll tie the horses somewhere and give them a bath..."

Gary replied indifferently ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ And when Jin Muchen heard what he said, he only felt a sudden blackness in front of him, Nima, you are too extravagant to actually use red sandalwood as a horse stake?

"Look at this thing, it's really great, this wood is very strong, very strong, and there is a hole in the middle, every day when I come back from riding, I pour some water into this hole, let the horse drink, and then I will Give them a scrub..."

Listening to the introduction of old man Gary, Jin Muchen almost fainted, this is a first-class red sandalwood pen holder!

You actually use him as a water tank for drinking horses and a post for tethering horses. You are so talented, old man!

"Gary, I'm very interested in this thing, can you make a bid?"

Jin Muchen was also very straightforward, and the old man was stunned when he heard what he said.

"What? Jin, is this an antique?"

"Yes, this should be a pen holder from the Qing Dynasty, but because you use it to tie a horse all the year round, the outside of this holder is already very worn, which will greatly reduce its price!" (To be continued .)
