Chapter 931 Birthday Present(2/2)

When it was almost time to eat, Li Wenxiu received a call from Tang Yan.

"Okay, I get it, we will definitely go." Li Wenxiu smiled at the microphone, "Of course! Well, goodbye."

She put down the microphone and smiled at Wang Lin, "Tang Jixian celebrates his birthday!"

"Which day?" Wang Lin thought to himself, such a coincidence?

"Tomorrow! Tang Yan told me that she didn't dare to disturb us, but we were all in Xiangjiang. If we didn't tell us, we were afraid that we would say that the Tang family was not friends enough."

"She invited us?"

"Absolutely! It would be fine if we were in China, so we wouldn't have been able to make this trip on purpose. Now we are all in Xiangjiang. If we don't go, wouldn't we be rude? The Tang family all value love and righteousness, and they take good care of us. Do you think so?"

Wang Lin nodded slowly: "Okay, then I'll go tomorrow!"

"You? I mean we all go together!" Li Wenxiu said, "I didn't go either when you visited Tang Jixian last time. Don't you go now? Do you think it's reasonable?"

Wang Lin frowned slightly and whispered: "Didn't I tell you? Tang Jixian's butt is not clean! Let's try to avoid contact with him."

"How much can we have with him? We will go back to Shencheng in a few days! Just one meal tomorrow, what will happen?" Li Wenxiu said, "If Wenwen and I don't go tomorrow, Tang Jixian will really have an objection to you. Tang Yan called this phone, which was clearly the instructor of Tang Jixian, and the whole family was invited."

Wang Lin said helplessly: "Okay, go together."

"Do you have any beauty to bring over? It's not convenient to bring me and my son?" Li Wenxiu said with a smile.

"Nonsense!" Wang Lin slapped her on the butt.

Li Wenxiu giggled.

Wang Lin thought to himself, I have never been here for Tang Jixian’s birthday before, but this time I really happened to meet him, so I have to choose a gift for him.

Li Wenxiu also thought of this section and asked, "Are we going to give a big gift?"

Wang Lin said: "Well, what should I give?"

Li Wenxiu said: "Cash?"

Wang Lin said: "It's too vulgar. People are billionaires, so they don't lack money."

Zhou Jun smiled and said, "Give antiques! People of their level are the most suitable for giving antiques. And the price of antiques is not easy to estimate."

Wang Lin said: "He will celebrate his birthday tomorrow. Where can we go to find antiques?"

Zhou Jun said: "There is an antique shop in Xiangjiang, which we saw when we were shopping."

Li Wenxiu said: "Yes, you were not here that day. When we were wandering around, we saw antiques. There were antiques sold on the street, but we just didn't know what the name was."

Zhou Zhu said: "Call Helihu!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Holly Living? Isn't that a movie city in the United States? Hollywood, translated in Chinese as Hollywood, is a world-famous movie city located in Los Angeles."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "I know, because this name is so special, I remember it. Otherwise, who would remember a small street!"

Wang Lin said: "There is really an antique street called Helihuo?"

Zhou Zhu said: "What am I lying to you? It's still early now. If you rush over, maybe they haven't closed the door yet."

Wang Lin said: "Since you know, then take me there. Just leave the children to them."

Li Wenxiu said: "Yes, Zhou Zhu, please accompany Wang Lin! Come and give me the millet."

Zhou Zhu handed the baby in his hand to Li Wenxiu and came out with Wang Lin.

Holy Life is not as straightforward as its name. It is not a "movie street". It is famous all over the world for its collection of more than 100 antiques and antique furniture stores. It is rated as one of the "streets that must be visited in a lifetime" by foreign newspapers.

Antique Street is the first street since the founding of Hong Kong, and its history can be traced back to 1844.

This street is located in the Central and Shanghuan area, across the Central and Western District of Xiangjiang Island, at the foot of Taiping Mountain, starting from Yuncheng Street in the east and ending west of Queen's Avenue in the west. It can be regarded as a "historical street" that gathers the vicissitudes of Hong Kong Island for a century.

Many people believe that the name of this street is derived from the transliteration of "Hollywood" in the United States. But in fact, the name of this street originally came from the holly trees planted in the early years of the street. The holly tree is called hollywood in English. There is no translation in Chinese. It is just named "hollywood     road" based on the pronunciation, and is pronounced as "Hollywood Road", also known as Holly Street.

At that time, Hollywood in the United States had not even appeared.

Helihuo Road is the earliest street to be built since the opening of Xiangjiang port. When you see "王机" or "王机" everywhere, you can tell that you have arrived at the Antique Street.

Uncle Zhong was carrying a box for money and followed Wang Lin and Zhou Zu slowly.

To buy antiques, of course, you have to bring in a box of money.

When Wang Lin got off the car, he was attracted by the ancient street scenery.

Even the small sugar water shop on the street looks quite ancient. In the street, antique shops and open-air handicraft markets are scattered, exuding an ancient atmosphere. Souvenirs of various styles are everywhere, including Ming-style furniture, Chinese rosewood furniture, wall-mounted calligraphy and painting scrolls, lotus lanterns, ancient snuff bottles, as well as ceramics and various small antiques, all kinds of which are available.

Wang Lin walked around casually and asked about the price.

He found that the antiques here were very cheap, and they could buy several of them for a few dozen yuan or a hundred yuan.

"No." Wang Lin smiled, "These are not antiques, they are just imitations made from modern products, or they can be said to be handicrafts."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, how can there be such a cheap antique? You can't buy a few imitations for Tang Jixian, right? Isn't that shame you?"

Wang Lin said: "Let's take a look at it in front and find a big antique shop to ask."

Antique streets are filled with various antique stalls.

What Wang Lin and the others said was heard by a stall owner.

"You want to buy real antiques?" The stall owner is a middle-aged man, wearing a T-shirt, big shorts, a pair of flip flops on his feet, and a waist bag hanging around his waist to collect money.

Zhou Zhu said: "Yes, we are going to buy antiques. Do you know where there are real antiques to sell?"

The stall owner pointed to a door opposite: "Here, when you go in from here, you can find what you want. Good babies are so many!"

Wang Lin turned around and looked at the door.

The door is a carved wooden door, with several facades in a row, but only a small side door was opened, and the inside was dim and dark, making people unpredictable.

Wang Lin was a little hesitant. The water in this kind of place was very deep, and he didn't understand antiques, so he was easily slaughtered!

It would be great if there were state-owned calligraphy and painting shops and antique shops like Beijin. If you buy places, the price will be clearly marked, and the goods will be authentic.

Zhou Zhou saw his hesitation and smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Let's go and have a look first! Look, do you always want money?"

Wang Lin thought about it, too.

Zhou Zhou reached out, took his hand, and walked into the ancient wooden door.

The store is very large, filled with various antique shelves, and the shelves are full of antiques.

An elderly man in a short-sighted, standing-up Tang suit with gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and stood behind the counter.

Zhou Zhou stepped forward and asked, "Boss, are there real antiques in your store?"

The old man looked up at them and shook his head slowly: "No, all the shelves are handicrafts, and none of them are antiques."

Wang Lin laughed: "All modern handicrafts?"

Zhou Zhou said helplessly: "The owner of the stall opposite introduced us to come in and said that there are everything here, and there are all kinds of good antiques. It turns out that it is a scam!"

Wang Lin said: "Forget it, let's go to other places to take a look."

The old man suddenly said, "Please stay."

Wang Lin said: "Boss, I want to buy real antiques, but you don't have them here, so it's useless for us to stay."

The old man said: "Who said we don't have real antiques?"

Zhou Zhu said: "Hey, old man, are you so confused? You said in person just now that there is not a real antique in your store! It's all handicrafts! Have you forgotten?"

The old man said: "I'm not wrong. What I said is that the shelves are all handicrafts. I can't just place real antiques on them for sale."

Wang Lin became interested: "So, do you have other tricks?"

"Since you are distinguished guests from the mainland, I believe you know the origin of our Xiangjiang Antique Street? Our Zhenbaoxuan has a history of hundreds of years in Xiangjiang Antique Street! If you can buy a real antique on this street, then this antique must have been invited from our store."

"Oh? It's not a small tone!" Zhou Zhou smiled, "So, where are your antiques sold? You won't want to lead us to other places, right?"

"Disciple, please come in!" the old man shouted to the right, "Xiaolian, pick up the guests!"

"Oh, here we come!" With the crisp sound, a girl in her twenties walked out.

She has bright eyes and white teeth, graceful appearance, and is wearing a sleeveless short cheongsam, which makes her chest and waist look undulating.

"Several people, please come here." Xiaolian stretched out her hand and made a gesture to ask her to go here.

Wang Lin and Zhou Zhou looked at each other and nodded, meaning to go in and see the situation before talking.

Behind a Bo Ancient Shelf on the right, there is a Yue Cave Door. When you enter the door, there is a different world inside.

In a small yard, there is a willow tree planted, a stone table under the tree, two stone benches, and a chessboard is placed on the table.

Xiaolian led Wang Lin and the others through the yard and into a very spacious room.

There are two rows of long glass cabinets, which are all made against the ceiling, and there are a wide variety of antiques in the cabinets.

Xiaolian smiled and said, "Someone, take a look at it casually. I'll talk to you about the price."

Wang Lin nodded: "Okay, can you inspect the goods?"

Xiaolian said: "Of course, we are a century-old shop and are the most credible. If you have any antique masters you know, you can come here. If there is any fake one here, we will pay ten if you fake one."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Are you going to pay another ten fake ones?"

Xiaolian let out a scream, and was stunned on the spot.
