Ninety-seven, Liulichang
"I'll say it's very good." Bai Lina raised her eyebrows with a proud look on her face.
Bai's mother nodded in agreement, "Please ask Su Jinyue to come to your house somewhere."
"Well! What about my store?" Bai Lina asked happily. Mom wanted to see Jinyue, but she must have become curious about Jinyue.
"I have no objection. I will ask someone to go to see if there is a suitable store tomorrow." Bai's mother looked at the pack of facial powder on the sink, "Is there much facial powder? Give me a pack." She usually put on some light makeup at banquets, and it is much more convenient to remove makeup with facial powder.
"Yes, I'll get it for you." Bai Lina smiled and walked outside. She said that her mother would definitely like what Jinyue made.
He took a pack of wash powder and a bottle of incense pills and handed it to Bai's mother, "Mom, don't forget about the store, I have made a promise to Jinyue."
"I understand!" Bai's mother smiled and took the cleansing powder and incense balls, looked up at the clock on the wall, "Oh, it's already three o'clock, I have to prepare soon." As she said that, she quickly walked out to the door.
When she walked to the door, Bai's mother thought of something and turned around and said, "Nana, I'll ask Su Jinyue if you mentioned the wrinkle removal product?" Wrinkles are now her biggest natural enemy.
"Okay." Bai Lina agreed with a smile. Mom likes the products made by Jinyue so much, and other aunts will definitely like them if they know about it. So will she and Jinyue have no business in the store in the future?
People and cars came and went on the street, and there was a prosperous scene.
Zhan Yihan held Su Jinyue's hand and came to Liulichang, a famous cultural street in the capital. This street originated in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, most of the juren who came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations were concentrated in this area. Therefore, there were many shops selling books, pens, ink, paper and ink, which formed a strong cultural atmosphere.
The reason why Su Jinyue chose to visit here is because the bookstore in Liulichang is just an antique shop, and antiques are antiques. Now that the reform and opening up are just now, there are not so many counterfeit antiques. The most important thing is that the price is still cheap. She collects some and will be a fortune in the future.
After she had money in her previous life, she also collected a lot of antiques, but there were too many fake antiques in her previous life. If it weren't for the professionals giving her a look, she wouldn't have known how many times she had been fooled.
"Yihan, let's go to that store to take a look." Su Jinyue pointed to an antique shop called 'Ruichengzhai' and said.
"Yeah!" Zhan Yihan nodded with a smile.
When I walked into Ruichengzhai, I saw that there was no one in the store except an old man reading a book. Although the living standards in the capital are higher than those in other cities, now everyone is busy making money, so they have no leisure and elegance to come to shop. Even if there is one, there is still some money at home and they don’t have to worry about food and clothing.
There are many porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, as well as some ancient swords, jade and so on in the store.
"Do you understand this?" Zhan Yihan asked softly in Su Jinyue's ear. He knew nothing about antiques, but as long as Jinyue liked them, it would be fine.
"I understand a little." Su Jinyue smiled sly. She had just asked the little demon, and the little demon said that she could recognize antiques as long as she opened her eyes.
Opening his eyes and scanning the store, Su Jinyue opened her eyes wide in surprise. She found that the surface of many things had a light color, red, orange, yellow, green, and blue, with the least purple, and only a rusty short knife with a faint purple light.
"Little Demon, what's going on?" Su Jinyue asked in surprise.
"Master! The ones with color are antiques. However, the colors presented in different ages of antiques will be different. Red is modern, orange is late Qing Dynasty, yellow is mid-Qing Dynasty, and so on."
"So purple is the oldest?" Su Jinyue immediately understood what the little demon meant. She was already planning to buy the rusty short knife in her heart.
"Purple is not only old, but also may be a magic weapon, just like the rusty short knife, which looks inconspicuous. Once it is opened, it may be a magic weapon, cutting iron like mud."
Su Jinyue smiled brightly, pulled Zhan Yihan to the rusty short knife, reached out to pick up the short knife, looked at it, and found that although the surface of the knife was rusty, the edge of the knife was still very sharp.
"Yihan, look at this short knife." Su Jinyue handed the short knife to Zhan Yihan.
Zhan Yihan took the short knife and looked carefully. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. The knife looked inconspicuous, but he could see that it was a good knife. As long as it was slightly polished, it would definitely be sharper than his dagger.
When Su Jinyue saw the expression in Zhan Yihan's eyes, she knew that he liked it very much. She curled her lips and smiled, and looked at the old man who was reading, "Boss, how do you sell this knife?"
The old man looked up and looked, "One hundred."
"Can you be cheaper?" Su Jinyue asked. The price of 100 is almost a month's salary in Beijing.
"The things in our store are not bargaining. If you want to buy them, buy them, and if you don't want to buy them, put them down." The old man said indifferently.
Su Jinyue smiled. The boss was quite unique. She took out ten yuan and walked to the old man and handed it to him, "Then I bought it." The short knife had a light purple light, and she took a huge advantage of one hundred yuan.
"Let's go somewhere else to see." Su Jinyue walked to Zhan Yihan and took his hand to walk outside. She originally wanted to buy more antiques, but now she has changed her mind and she wants to buy antiques with purple light.
Not long after Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan left, a middle-aged man walked into Ruichengzhai. He walked to the place where there was a short knife and found that the knife was gone. After looking around, he didn't notice, "Boss, where is a short knife here?" He had seen it before, but he didn't bring enough money on his body, so he went back to get it. Unexpectedly, he disappeared when he came back.
"Sold." The old man said indifferently.
"Sold? To whom?" the middle-aged man frowned. That was not an ordinary knife, he must take it back.
"A pair of young men." The boss replied, then focused his attention on the book in his hand.
The middle-aged man immediately turned around and walked out of the store. No matter how many times the price he paid, he would buy the short knife back.
After leaving Ruichengzhai, Su Jinyue put the knife into the storage bag, and then went back to study it slowly with Yihan.
After visiting several more stores, Su Jinyue didn't see an item with purple light. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she also understood how difficult it is to find something with purple light.
"Are you hungry? Why don't we go eat first and then come and have a walk around." Zhan Yihan looked at Su Jinyue, and saw that her hair was a little messy, he reached out to help her clean up.
"Yeah!" Su Jinyue nodded with a smile.
"I know there is a delicious dumpling shop, I'll take you to eat." Zhan Yihan took Su Jinyue's hand and walked forward.
