It was already 7:15 in the evening when the plane landed at Saadi Airport, and the journey took almost four and a half hours. Li Mo had already put on his down jacket before stepping out of the plane, and the temperature outside had dropped to below zero. He followed the flow of people and kept walking forward. Chen Xiaoyan and

Fu Liang and the two followed behind and looked around. Behind them was Brown Bear with a group of people.

"This is not Kyoto, what can we see? You two are like country bumpkins entering the city. Everything you see is strange."

Li Mo looked back at them and said, Fu Liang quickly ran two steps and said respectfully: "Uncle, isn't it said that people who have never been to a snow area will get altitude sickness when they come here for the first time? I think it's okay, it's quite normal.

of."

Chen Xiaoyan walked up to him and said with a bit of ridicule: "Scientifically speaking, altitude sickness refers to a series of plateau hypoxic stress reactions that occur in the body after entering from the plains to the plateau or from the plateau to higher altitudes. The main manifestations are

Symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, etc. The incidence of acute mountain sickness is related to the speed of climbing the mountain, altitude, length of residence and physical fitness. If you don’t feel any discomfort, it means your physical condition is still very good.

of."

"Xiaoyan, you still know more."

Fu Liang quickly flattered him.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Li Mo's mouth. This kid is a top student who graduated from Nanjing University. How could he not know this? Judging from his enthusiasm to flatter him, this kid must have been impressed by Chen Xiaoyan's personal charm.

Although I was a little embarrassed when I couldn't compete in a martial arts competition and was constantly beaten by strong suppression, once I got used to the embarrassment, I felt that this was not bad.

"Brown Bear."

Li Mo turned around and shouted, and the brown bear quickly ran to him: "Boss, what are your orders?"

"After checking into the hotel, let everyone get used to it for a day or two. If you feel unwell, we will provide you with information in a timely manner."

"Yes, boss."

The hotel they were staying in had been booked early, and they were greeted by a tall man in his thirties, wearing traditional clothing from the snowy area, especially some beads in his hair, with dark and rough skin.

"Mr. Li, my name is Tashi Dorje. You can just call me Dorje. I will arrange any orders you have from now on. The car is outside, please follow me."

"Duoji, what's your relationship with Yan Xin?"

"In terms of seniority, he is my cousin. However, this branch of our snow area is a bit far away. My grandfather is the cousin of Mr. Li in Kyoto who has passed away. Anyway, it is a matter of two generations ago.

I’m not very clear either.”

"Have you ever thought about living in Kyoto?"

"It would be the best if I have the chance. It's not that I want a better life, it's mainly for my children. The environment here is harsh, and both children have high-altitude heart disease. I must give them a good life."

"I won't bother you to worry about it while I'm here for a while. If you decide to settle down in the plains in the future, I can help you."

This was Li Mo's promise to him, and this Duoji would naturally do things well.

As for the so-called altitude sickness, Li Mo really didn't feel any physical discomfort. Chen Xiaoyan, Fu Liang, and Brown Bear all had some adverse reactions after staying in the hotel. Fortunately, they had already prepared for it, so they only needed to rest.

Once you get used to it in a day or two, you'll be fine.

The next day, Duoji was waiting for Li Mo in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel early in the morning. Li Mo came to the first floor with his bag on his back and waved to him: "This way."

"Mr. Li, what are your plans today?"

"Go to the local antique market."

"OK."

The antique market in Sa Di is quite large, and there are a lot of people visiting here. Compared with Panjiayuan, Liulichang, or the Chenghuang Temple antique street in the capital, the antique market here is not only about buildings, but also about buildings.

The decoration and other elements are full of ethnic minority elements, giving people who come here a different experience for the first time. Of course, the interior decoration of some stores is similar to the antique stores in Kyoto.

"Doji, are you familiar with this antique market?"

"I've been here a few times with my family, but mainly just to play. After all, I don't know anything about so-called antiques."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. From now on, you will be my guide. If I am lucky enough to come across something good later, and I just ask for a price, you will have to consider me and advise me, or help me.

It shouldn’t be difficult for me to say that the price offered by the boss is too high, right?”

"I have done business before. Although I lost money, I still know the inside story." Tashi Duoji knew very well how powerful the man in front of him was. As long as there was a treasure, he would definitely not escape his eyes.

Most of the people visiting the antique market are tourists from out of town. They all carry bags of various sizes, and there are not many locals. Like ordinary tourists, Li Mo walked slowly along the street. The entrances of the shops were basically

They all have a small stall they set up, and there are many kinds of things on it, mainly bracelets.

The bracelets you see in antique shops in the plain area are made of various beautiful stones, and the best ones are made of jade. The bracelets you see here are mainly made of silver products, with braided ropes full of local characteristics.

, and there are some beautiful beads embellishment.

Li Mo walked around and looked at seven or eight different styles of bracelets, but he just looked at them and was not greeted by the boss's warm greeting.

"There is actually a shop selling porcelain here."

Li Mo came to a shop and looked inside curiously. The shop was not big, and there were three tourists looking around in boredom.

"Mr. Li, do you want to go in and take a look?"

"have a look."

Li Mo put on his down jacket and hat, and then followed Duoji into the shop. Duoji was a very good partner. As soon as he walked in, he entered the status of a tour guide, pointed to the porcelain on the racks around him and said: "Boss Li, this store

The shop specializing in porcelain is quite famous in our local area, and the boss is very kind in doing business. If you like one, I can help you check the price with the boss."

Li Mo nodded, walked to the Bogu shelf and looked at it carefully. After a moment, he pointed at a red-glazed plum vase and asked: "Boss, can you take a look at this?"

The boss was a man in his fifties, with a rough appearance and a face full of vicissitudes of life. He walked up to Li Mo and asked in broken Mandarin: "Sir, if you like this porcelain, you can take it yourself."

"Thanks."

Li Mo took down the plum vase from the ancient shelf. To be honest, this plum vase was very good in terms of shape and glaze. The inscription on the bottom of the vase, 'Made in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty', was also very standard.

Character.

"Boss, how do you sell this porcelain?"

Li Mo asked politely. As soon as he asked, Duoji, who was not far away, immediately cheered up and said, "Are you ready to start?" He was ready for the battle and was just waiting for the boss to give an outrageous price.

Unexpectedly, the boss actually shook his head and waved his hands: "This plum vase made by the Kangxi official kiln in the Qing Dynasty is the treasure of my store, and I will not sell it."

Li Mo was slightly startled. Is the boss really not interested in selling it or is he just trying to whet his appetite?

"it's beautiful."

Li Mo sighed with regret and looked at it with regret, but he still put the plum vase back to its original place.

The boss was a little dumbfounded. Why were you not curious at all? Why didn't you ask why and just gave up? Duoji, who was well prepared, saw Li Mo's actions and murmured in his heart. Did he understand it wrong?

"Sir, is this your first time traveling here?"

"Yes, I am not familiar with the place and even spent money to find a local guide. He said your shop is very famous, so I came in to take a look. The porcelain made in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty is really good.

Boss, you are really discerning. The red color of this glaze is amazing." Li Mo glanced at Duoji and said, "The porcelain in this shop is all good. I'm afraid I can't afford it. Let's go shopping elsewhere.

.”

"Oh, okay, Boss Li, I will take you to another store to have a look."

Seeing that he was leaving, Duoji nodded hurriedly.

"Boss Li, please wait a minute." Seeing that he was about to leave, the owner of the antique shop finally caught a customer who was interested. How could he let him leave like this? He called to Li Mo, even with a hint of emotion in his tone.

Very respectfully, "Boss Li, if you really like this Kangxi plum vase, we can have a good discussion on the price."

Li Mo asked in surprise: "Didn't you just say that the treasure of the store is not for sale?"

The boss showed an awkward smile and replied: "Normally, I won't sell it, but if the customer offers a price that I can't refuse, I will agree to transfer it."

This is the attitude towards doing business.

Li Mo turned around and looked at the stunning red plum vase again, and then said: "Boss, can you tell me a price?"

"Two hundred and eighty-eight thousand."

Li Mo shook his head directly: "It's too expensive. I don't even have the confidence to bargain. Boss, don't waste your time on me. I can't afford it. I'll look at other porcelain. If it's good-looking, it's not expensive either."

If you want to buy one and take it back as a souvenir, it’s not a worthwhile trip.”

Duoji then said a few words to the boss in dialect, and then the antique shop owner gave up.

Li Mo didn't leave immediately. He spent a week shopping in the store. Every piece of porcelain on the Bogu shelf looked extremely exquisite. It could be said that it was no worse than the high-quality imitations produced in Gu Yunxuan's store. The boss was definitely a shrewd person.

Rather than using those tattered fakes to look like fakes, it is better to go directly to high-quality products. If you have no discernment, you will be unlucky. Anyway, no matter whether you sell it at a high price or a low price, it will be a profit for the boss.

There's nothing good in the store.

Li Mo turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly his eyes glanced at the basin on the counter two meters away. The basin was a piece of porcelain with a green pastel painted edge. He immediately changed his direction slightly and walked towards the counter, but his eyes

Staring at the dozen or so pieces of china on the row of cabinets behind the counter.

While he was looking at it, he glanced at the porcelain basin on the counter without trace. The boss had taken it to store various biscuits, probably for the guests. He glanced at the strange pupils and saw a gray color coming from the body of the porcelain basin.

The halo turns into circles of light. It is definitely an authentic product from the official kiln in the mid-Qing Dynasty.

Those high imitation products are displayed on the antique shelves and praised by the boss as genuine, but the real good things are placed on the counter as storage.

Li Mo returned to the red-glazed plum vase, as if he would regret not taking it with him. When the boss saw this, his eyes moved, and he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Boss Li, I can see that you are really serious."

I like this imperial plum vase from the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. How about you pay me a price, and if I think it’s still acceptable, I’ll give it to you.”

"Hey, forget it, I can't eat this piece of porcelain."
