Chapter forty-four looking for people in the line

To the south of the Imperial Capital University guesthouse is the simple and elegant gate of the Imperial Capital University. This university was once Tang Lei’s dream when he was in school, but the reality is cruel, and the dream is out of reach after all!

With his fake student ID card from the National University, Tang Lei walked into the gate of the Imperial Capital University and started a tour not far from the gate.

This was the first time Tang Lei came here. He had been to the Imperial Capital once in 2016, but he had no time to visit the Imperial Capital University. He just sat on the taxi and looked at the door from a distance through the window.

If Tang Lei wanted to compare the campus scenery of his alma mater, National University and Imperial Capital University, he would still like the campus scenery of National University more.

...

Tang Lei looked at the time and almost arrived at the guesthouse for dinner, so he returned to the guesthouse for dinner.

The dinner form of the guesthouse belongs to the style of a small vegetable shop on the street in the future. Each dish has a price at the back. The staff of the guesthouse stands behind and charges meal tickets at the corresponding price.

After Tang Lei ordered a few dishes he liked, he sat on the dining table and swallowed them quickly. He was too hungry and had just drunk wine at noon and didn't eat much on the train.

After dinner, Tang Lei took advantage of the fact that it was not dark and prepared to go around the street outside the guesthouse, and ask about the situation. After all, what he found online before is worse than what he witnessed now!

After leaving the guesthouse, it was six:40 pm. It was time to get off work. Tang Lei looked at the crowded pedestrians and bicycles on the streets and couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the changes and greatness of this era!

Tang Lei was wandering around several streets near the guesthouse, and from time to time he met with the tricycle drivers who were taking care of their work on the roadside, chatting with them, and asking for some basic information.

...

When Tang Lei returned to the guesthouse room, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.

Tang Lei came to the desk in the room, sat on a chair, took out his laptop from the "White Hole" storage space of the Tinder Number, and called out the Imperial Capital Action Plan he had formulated before coming.

While looking at the initial action plan in the laptop, Tang Lei thought about how to act tomorrow based on the limited information he had just learned.

Tang Lei believes that it will definitely not work directly according to the original plan formulated before, and it will be too late because he came more than a month earlier than the original plan!

The result of coming in more than a month early was that the plan to buy Gengshen Monkey Tickets in the imperial capital was declared bankrupt!

Tang Lei can only collect some antiques and cultural relics in the imperial capital now, but he does not have this knowledge and can only rely on the search and analysis of the Fire No. 1 to help him.

Although the Fire Number can search and analyze items, it can only judge the material and age of the antique, but it cannot judge the most important thing: economic value!

In this way, Tang Lei could only wait for the fire number to analyze the results, buy them all, and then bring them back to the future to identify their value one by one.

Fortunately, no one wants antiques and cultural relics in this era. They are a big street and are not worth it. So Tang Lei now has more than 20,000 yuan in cash, so he can buy a lot of things and do a lot of things!

But Tang Lei had to find the right way first. He planned to go to the antique street of Liulichang in Diwuming tomorrow morning.

After making up his mind, Tang Lei put his laptop into the "white hole" storage space of the Tinder Number and went to bed to rest.

...

January 19, 1980 at 7:12 am.

The first thing Tang Lei did after waking up from the bed was to get out of bed and find water to drink it. He poured a glass of water from the thermos, but he started to drink it with a hot mouth!

After drinking a whole glass of water, Tang Lei finally felt that he had come back to life!

After drinking the water, Tang Lei sat on the bed with his mouth open in discomfort, cursing the dry air of the imperial capital in his heart, making him look like this. When he woke up just now, he felt that his mouth was about to get angry!

Tang Lei even felt that if he slept for a while, he might not wake up and die in the bed!

After a while of ease, Tang Lei started to dress, wash, and tidy up himself in the room before leaving the Imperial Capital University Guesthouse.

Tang Lei bought a few vegetables and buns at the bun stall outside the guesthouse. While eating, he walked towards the bus stop. In the crowded crowd, he finally successfully squeezed into the bus to Liulichang.

In this era when bicycles were not very popular and urban transportation was underdeveloped, buses were the only and main means of transportation for urban residents.

Tang Lei is now just in time for the morning rush hour to work, so you can imagine how crowded the car is!

But this is not the most important thing. Because of the crowding relationship, the middle-aged uncle in front of Tang Lei exhaled from his mouth. After Tang Lei inhaled it, he was simply a biochemical bomb! He almost fainted! A biochemical bomb with a leek smell!

In the end, Tang Lei couldn't stand this smell. After the next bus stop, Tang Lei got off, summoned a Sanbengzi on the side of the road, and took the Sanbengzi to Liulichang Antique Street.

Half an hour later, Tang Lei paid the fare of 70 cents and gave it to the master who drove the Sanbengzi. By the way, he thanked the master for his explanation and entered Liulichang Street.

Liulichang Street should be precisely an alley, but it is relatively wide, so it can be called a street. Both sides of the street are full of two-story, simple and simple buildings in the style of the Republic of China period.

The Liulichang Antique Street is still relatively depressed now, with only one store opening. Moreover, the stores that open on this street are currently state-owned stores.

Most of them are calligraphy and painting shops, which are completely different from the porcelain and jade shops that Tang Lei needs!

But Tang Lei still came here because he had no place to go now. Compared with the three antique markets in the imperial capital in later generations, at this time, the other two antique markets have not appeared yet!

Therefore, only when Tang Lei comes here can he find "travelers" in the antiques and antique industry. Only through these "travelers" can he buy those antique porcelain in large quantities!

It’s impossible for Tang Lei to push a tricycle by himself, go door to door in the imperial capital, and collect porcelain! That’s too unrealistic!

Moreover, Tang Lei doesn’t have that time now, and the current antique transactions cannot appear on the surface and shout and sell them, but can only be used as handicrafts!

In this way, the official will turn a blind eye, after all, the reform and opening up has just been just now!

Tang Lei was not interested in entering the calligraphy and painting shops on both sides of Liulichang Street. His purpose was to find "people from the street"!

So he said that the calligraphy and paintings that are difficult to distinguish between true and false in the shops on both sides of the street are worthless to him!

Unless he discovered the priceless national treasure calligraphy and paintings at this time, he would buy them and collect them at home.

After strolling around Liulichang Street and observing for a long time, Tang Lei finally found a "traveler" suspected of antiques.

Tang Lei observed that this thin man, about 40, had been wandering around the corner of the calligraphy and painting shop. After seeing the customer entering the calligraphy and painting shop coming out empty-handed, he went up to talk to him. After the conversation was successful, he would lead the customer into a courtyard in a small alley.

After observing for a while, Tang Lei saw the opportunity. When the lean man reappeared, he pretended to walk into the calligraphy and painting shop in front of him, then came out empty-handed, pretending to shake his head and prepare to leave.

"Yiyi, ask the Fire Number to monitor the middle-aged man behind me!" Tang Lei ordered in a low voice.

"Yes! Boss."

"Boss, the middle-aged man has come with him!" Yiyi immediately reminded Tang Lei after receiving the order.

Tang Lei smiled slightly and took the bait! At the same time, he praised himself in his heart: "I am such a genius when I step on the horse!"

"Comrade, take a break!" The middle-aged man whispered to Tang Lei after he walked side by side with Tang Lei.

"Is there something wrong?" Tang Lei kept his pace, glanced at the middle-aged man and pretended to ask.

"Comrade just now, I wanted to buy artworks in Jubaozhai?" The middle-aged man followed Tang Lei and asked in a low voice.

"What? Follow me!" Tang Lei stopped, frowned and said, "The middle-aged man.

"Men, don't get me wrong, I'm not bad-hearted!"

"I just saw the man coming out of Jubaozhai empty-handed, and I guess he didn't buy anything that suits me? I have something here, I want the man to hold his eyes!" the middle-aged man said in a low voice with a smile.

"Oh! What do you have?" Tang Lei asked in a low voice pretending to be cognitive.

"From the four treasures of the study, the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, to the large size of ceramics and jade, everything is available! Do you want me to follow me and raise your feet and peer your eyes?" The middle-aged man stopped when he saw Tang Lei, looked at Tang Lei with a smile, and suggested in a low voice.

"How is the thing?" Tang Lei asked at the middle-aged man?

"It depends on your eyesight! Whether it is a handicraft or antics, there are all! Let's tell the truth!" The middle-aged man approached Tang Lei and continued to whisper. (Note: In that era, antiques were also called "antics" and antiques were homophones, and antiques were not called antiques, but cultural relics. So when I wrote them below, I would use modern names, so don't mind!)

"Okay! Let's take a look." Tang Lei nodded with a smile.

"Okay, follow me, I'll take you there!" The middle-aged man smiled and said in a low voice, then turned around and walked towards the alley, while Tang Lei followed the middle-aged man.

Tang Lei followed the middle-aged man all the way to the gate of the courtyard.

"Is that here?" Tang Lei pretended to ask.

"Yes, when you go in, someone will receive you! The middle-aged man knocked on the door first, then opened the yard door and said with a smile.

Tang Lei nodded and stepped into the courtyard.

"Boss, what object do you want to see?" As soon as Tang Lei walked into the door, a young man in his 30s walked out of the wing room, walked to Tang Lei, and asked with a smile.
