According to Ian's idea, he will have three days of rest after each ranking in the future. Because of the delicious food in Dragon Kingdom yesterday, Ian still wants to go to Chinatown on the last day this time.

He and Paul came here at nine o'clock in the morning. Yesterday they just had a meal, but today Ian really wanted to go shopping.

"Sir, do you want porcelain? It's serious blue and white."

"Hello sir, if you want to learn calligraphy, you must have these copybooks."

"All the bronzes we have here are handmade by craftsmen, according to the ratio of one to five of the originals. Displaying them in your home will immediately give your home a sense of dragon country style."

Ian and Paul only chose those stores that looked full of Dragon Country flavor. Ian had the urge to buy every time he saw something. Fortunately, Paul stopped him. Paul told Ian that these items were mainly sold to people traveling on the road.

The ones sold by foreigners are all fake and the prices are very high.

Although Ian didn't buy those things, the more he looked at them, the more he liked them. If he hadn't thought about eating soon, he would have definitely bought more.

This time, Ian and the others switched to another Longguo restaurant for lunch. Although it was equally delicious, Ian liked yesterday's dish even more because today's dish had almost no chili pepper, which made Ian somewhat regretful.

But Ian was unwilling to go to any other restaurant for dinner anyway. He had to go to the restaurant yesterday.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the waiters recognized Ian immediately and quickly led the two of them to their seats. Ian ordered two portions of boiled pork slices first, and then he started to look through the menu this time.

Come on, Ian will order a portion of any dish that looks red.

"Sir, you have ordered enough. There are only two of you, so you cannot eat so much." The waiter reminded kindly.

Ian nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, we will pay. I just want to taste more of your food."

An hour later, Ian and Paul both felt their bulging bellies and began to regret. They really shouldn't have ordered so many dishes.

At this time, the waiter named Xiuxiu came over and saw the appearance of the two people. A smile suddenly appeared on her face. Xiuxiu said: "Sir, can you tell us the answer now?"

Ian recognized Xiuxiu at a glance, burped and said, "I don't know yet, but I have entrusted an identification center to identify it, and I will tell you when the results come out."

"Ah? Did you really go for an appraisal? I'm really sorry, I'm sorry." Xiuxiu thought that this customer actually went for an appraisal because of a bet made by several of her, but she heard that such an appraisal requires a lot of money.

"You...uh...you don't have to...I...uh..." Ian saw the guilt on Xiuxiu's face and wanted to comfort her, but she only opened her mouth but kept hiccupping, and finally had no choice but to give up.

Seeing this scene, Xiuxiu seemed to understand what Ian meant, and just smiled apologetically and stepped aside.

Ian and the others rested for a while. Although they were still hiccupping, they were much better. Ian waved to Xiu Xiu, and Xiu Xiu came over. Ian said: "I want to buy something, but I... uh... I

I don’t know where to buy it. I don’t want... uh... things that are meant to deceive tourists. I want real... uh... things from the Dragon Kingdom. Can you tell me where to buy them?"

Xiuxiu understood what Ian meant and said, "I know there is a shop where the products are quite authentic."

Then Xiuxiu told Ian the address of the store, and then Ian and Paul wandered out of the restaurant.

"It should be here, right? Is this also a shop?" Ian and Paul looked back and forth. Although they confirmed the location, they didn't quite believe that the small door only 30 centimeters wide in front of them was Xiuxiu.

The store in question.

"Ding ding..." As soon as the door was pushed open, a bunch of small bells rang behind the door. The area inside was probably less than two meters wide, but it was very deep, at least 20 meters long. The wall on the left was completely

It is a grid made of wooden boards. There are many weird-looking things placed in the grid. On the right is a long counter, leaving only a foot-wide aisle in the middle. Ian bet that if Muto came here, he would definitely turn around.

But come here.

As the bell rang, an old man with white hair and bright energy stood up from behind the counter on the right. The old man was wearing a black robe. When he saw Ian and Paul coming in, he smiled and asked: "Excuse me

What do you need?"

Paul said: "My boss wants to buy some things. I heard that the ones here are more authentic, so I came over to take a look."

Ian nodded, and the old man asked with a smile: "A person from the Dragon Kingdom?"

Ian hesitated and said, "I don't know yet, but I really like what you have here."

Ian pointed at the item in a grid behind the old man. It was a small monkey sculpture that looked slightly golden and shiny. He didn't know what material it was made of.

The old man was also a little surprised, because although his shop is small, it has been around for a long time. It is older than many people, and there is no signboard. Unless recommended by someone familiar with it, few people will find it.

What's more, the other foreigner also said that he heard that the food here is more authentic, so it must be someone from the Dragon Kingdom who told him. But if this young man with black hair was not from the Dragon Kingdom, I'm afraid no one would have told him the location of the store.

.

After hesitating for a moment, the old man took down the monkey sculpture and said, "This sculpture is carved from a kind of nanmu and has a history of nearly a hundred years."

Ian picked it up and looked at it carefully, while Paul on the side said with some disdain: "Haha, nearly a hundred years? No, there was no such paint more than a hundred years ago."

"Young man, that's not paint." The old man smiled.

After Ian put the monkey down, he also praised: "It's really exquisite and beautiful, Paul, it's really not paint."

Paul put his nose up and smelled it. There was indeed no smell of paint. On the contrary, there was a faint fragrance.

"The color on it is produced by its successive owners playing with it every day. It is called patina." The old man said with a smile.

"Packing? What is that?" Paul asked.

The old man didn't speak any more, just smiled, took the monkey back, and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

Ian shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I'm very interested in Dragon Kingdom recently. If you have anything that is very Dragon Kingdom, can you recommend it to me."

The old man looked Ian up and down, and then said: "Young people don't like porcelain, and you probably don't know how to give you jade. I see that you have a good physique, so I'll find something for you."

After saying that, the old man walked inside. After about ten minutes, the old man came back with a wooden box under his arm, put the wooden box on the counter, and said: "That's it, you can buy this."

"How can you do this kind of business? If we don't like it, we can't buy anything else?" Paul asked.

Unexpectedly, the old man smiled and nodded, leaving Paul speechless.

Ian looked at the wooden box, which was about a foot long, and raised his hand to open it. Inside was a long black cloth bag. The old man opened the contents and shook his wrist hard, and there was a swish sound accompanied by the sound of metal collision.

With a crisp sound, the thing opened up into a semicircular fan like a peacock opening its tail. If you look closely, the fan is made of metal, with many black bamboos printed on it.

"The ribs and surface of this fan are made of fine steel and are strung together with steel wires. Although it is not a good thing, it is still a novelty. Haha, this is a typical thing from the Dragon Kingdom." The old man said with a smile.

Ian took the fan and his wrist suddenly felt heavy. It only weighed ten kilograms, but the old man seemed to be turning it back and forth in his hand very easily.

"Be careful, look at it, it's all sharpened." The old man reminded Ian quickly when he saw that Ian was making skillful gestures there.

Only then did Ian notice that the top of the fan had a tip about one centimeter long. It would be no joke to slap it on someone's body.

"Thank you. I like this thing very much. How much does it cost?" Ian said as he put the fan back into the bag.

"Haha, take it if you like it. This thing is not valuable, just treat it as a friend." The old man said with a kind smile.

Ian was a little surprised and said: "That's not possible. Since it is buying something, how can you not pay for it?"

"Don't worry, I only bought this thing for about twenty dollars. I don't need this little money. I have many friends and many ways to travel when I go out. And in my opinion, you must be from the Dragon Kingdom, so we can be considered fellow villagers.

, you don’t have to be polite to me.” The old man never accepted Ian’s money.

Ian could only apologize and said: "Okay, let's make friends. This is my phone number. If you need help with anything, you can call me."

After the two left the small shop, they started walking back. The parking place was still some distance away. The two chatted while walking.

"Boss, I think what the old gentleman just said is right. I guess you are also from Longguo." Paul said.

"Oh? How can you be so sure?" Ian asked with a smile.

"The first time you ate Longguo food, you liked it so much. After walking around in Chinatown, you became even more interested in Longguo food. As well as the waiter at the restaurant, this old gentleman, they all seemed to be interested in you.

I have a good impression, so I think the possibility of you being from the Dragon Kingdom is very high." Paul analyzed.

"Haha, not bad, the analysis makes sense, but...whatever, it doesn't matter to me whether you are from the Dragon Kingdom. After all, people from the Dragon Kingdom are not the only ones who like the Dragon Kingdom." Ian laughed casually.

Having said that, Ian still had some expectations in his heart. Just like Paul said, not only those few people had a good impression of Ian, but even Ian felt very excited when he saw them.

The feeling of intimacy is an instinct, just like the kind of intimacy that the same animal has naturally.

At this moment, Ian suddenly felt a chill on his back. It was a feeling of being stared at as a target. This was a physical reaction that he and Muto finally got after training in the dark. When he closed his eyes,
