It's only around four o'clock in the morning, and the city of London has not yet woken up. The street lights on the streets are like pairs of sleepy eyes.
But Yu Fei, who always slept in, woke Qi Zhi up. The two left the hotel and got into a rough car.
Go to Bermondsey, Yu Fei said to the driver. He is now very fluent in English, and because of the two days of communication, he also has some London accent, which made the driver think that Yu Fei is a Chinese who has lived in London for a long time.
After the car started driving, Yu Feicai explained to Qi Zhi: Let's go to the Bermondsey Flea Market now.
Bai Mengsai Qizhi said strangely: Haven't you been there? Didn't that boy Borg take us there on the first day? There was nothing, it was deserted.
Yu Fei laughed and said: "You don't understand this? It was deserted when we went there the day before yesterday. That's because the time was wrong. But I found out clearly that the Bermondsey Flea Market is the busiest every Friday. And it has to be
Go early in the morning. There is a saying here: any theft and selling are legal before sunrise. The vendors open their business before dawn, and when the sun rises, basically all transactions are completed.
It has been completed. This is similar to the morning market in many domestic antique markets. There are only a few shops open every day, so it seems deserted. However, there are still many people in some places, such as Tower Bridge Road every day.
There are many people.
All this knowledge about Yu Fei was told to him by Margaret, otherwise even Ye Jianjun didn't know anything about it. How could he know it?
Of course Yu Fei went to Bermondsey Market to see if he could pick up the missing items.
Originally, Yu Fei had no interest in foreign antiques. But through yesterday's transaction of the Crystal Holy Grail, Yu Fei realized the huge value of foreign antiques. If he can find some high-quality foreign antiques, he can still take them out even if he does not collect them.
It is also a good choice to exchange Chinese art with others. Even if no one exchanges it, it is the same as taking it to the auction first and getting money before buying it.
At the same time, Yu Fei also wanted to pick out a gift or two for Margaret at the Bermondsey Flea Market. After all, it was his first time to be a guest, so he couldn't lose his etiquette and lose the face of the Chinese people.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Yu Fei doesn't have gifts that he can get. With his current wealth, he can't buy any kind of gifts. Moreover, he has an jade pendant with him. The carving is Maitreya Buddha, which is suitable.
woman.
But most of the love for jade is still concentrated in China. Not many people in other countries like it. Although the carving craftsmanship is also done by famous artists, the theme is Buddhist, and most of Europe believes in Christianity, so this
The gift is not appropriate.
Yu Fei is not willing to spend a lot of money to buy jewelry for Margaret. It's not that he is reluctant to spend money. It's just that the relationship between the two is not deep yet. It is easy to scare others by giving too expensive gifts.
When Yu Fei and Qi Zhi arrived at Bermondsey Market, there were already many people inside, and many more people kept coming like them.
Compared to usual times, there are many more roadside stalls here. Under the dim street lights, the items on the stalls can only be seen vaguely.
This is too cheating, right? Qi Zhi said in a low voice: The lights here are so dark, you can’t see clearly at all. If you hit your eyes, it won’t be a big loss.
Yu Fei smiled slightly and said: Risks are always proportional to returns. There are fakes here. Of course, there are also high-quality products. As long as you have a good eye, you can definitely find priceless treasures here.
In the world of antique collection, there are many antiques that cannot be auctioned publicly or even sold because of their erroneous origins. They can only find buyers at such morning or evening markets. Although such weather is not conducive to identification, there are many hidden things.
It is a treasure that is rarely seen in ordinary times, and the price is very cheap compared to usual.
Of course, this is a test of eyesight. Nowadays, many people take advantage of people's tendency to pick up the slack and fool many people with fake products.
For others, dim lighting is certainly not conducive to identification. But for Fei, it has no effect at all because he does not need to rely on his eyes for identification.
Because the crowd was too crowded, it was not convenient for Yu Fei to guide Chaos Qi to explore a large area. He could only look at each stall one by one, but even so, the speed seemed very fast. After all, there were at least a dozen people in one stall.
There are hundreds of items at most. If you look at them one by one, you will see the Year of the Monkey, the Horse and the Moon.
Qi Zhi thought that Yu Fei didn't see anything of interest, so he wasn't surprised.
After walking more than ten meters, I found a few old objects, but they were not of high value.
Yu Fei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that the Bermondsey Flea Market was no longer worthy of its name. But this was to be expected. After all, if it were so easy to pick up the missing items, many people would have given them away long ago.
I really don’t know whether it was right or wrong for me to wake up so early in the morning and come here to suffer this crime.
At this moment, Yu Fei was suddenly attracted by a flash of light, but when he went to look for it again, it disappeared again.
Yu Fei guided the energy of chaos to detect the place where the light had just been reflected.
This detection made Yu Fei immediately feel a sense of familiarity. This feeling was the same as when he first detected the Suihou Pearl. It should also be an item like diamonds.
The reflection comes from a pair of earrings in a small iron box.
This pair of earrings looks like a peacock. They are very old and the silver has been oxidized and turned black.
Underneath the earrings are the peacock's unfurled feathers, which are vividly inlaid with dots of gems. What's very rare is that none of these gems have fallen off.
However, it is a pity that this pair of earrings is obviously not particularly well maintained. The oxidized silver has soaked into the gemstones, covering up the original light of the gemstones and making the earrings look dirty.
Judging from the concentration of chaotic energy, this gem is not only a silverware set with diamonds, but also an antique, which is about a hundred years old in terms of age.
I really don’t know how such a precious pair of earrings could be randomly placed here.
In fact, the reason is very simple. The reason why Yu Fei was attracted to this pair of earrings just now was because the diamonds inlaid on them reflected the light of the street lamp, and happened to be seen by Yu Fei at that special angle. If it were another one,
If Yu Fei's height is wrong at any angle, or even with the slightest distraction, it is impossible to see it. In other words, this is a coincidence in itself. Otherwise, no matter how strong Yu Fei's chaotic energy is, he will not be able to see it.
Every item in every stall is inspected.
Although this pair of earrings is still in good condition, the material is not that good. The price of silver jewelry is generally not too high, and due to technical problems with silver purification in the past, there will be a lot of impurities in the silver.
, which further reduced the price of silverware.
Yu Fei's assistant with Chaos Qi almost missed this pair of silver earrings with diamonds, let alone ordinary people.
Yu Fei stopped and squatted down in front of the stall.
The stall owner is a young man in his twenties, dressed very casually. His blond hair looks slightly long, wet by the morning mist, and sticks to his forehead.
Seeing Yu Fei squatting down, the young stall owner immediately became energetic. Because the goods in the stall were average, there were very few customers. Yu Fei was his first customer today, and he hoped to close a business, even if he made less money.
Money will do.
Please show me that pair of earrings. Yu Fei did not beat around the bush.
Seeing that what Yu Fei was interested in was a pair of ordinary silver earrings, the stall owner seemed a little disappointed, but he still showed it to Yu Fei neatly along with the box.
Let’s make a price. In fact, Yu Fei has just used the energy of chaos to detect it, and now it’s just a show.
The stall owner was pleasantly surprised, hesitated for a moment, and said: fifty-fifty pounds.
Seeing that Yu Fei is an Asian, the stall owner worriedly added the word pound after fifty. After all, the difference between fifty yuan and fifty pounds is ten times, and the difference between Japanese yen and Korean won is even worse.
Far.
Such a low price greatly surprised Yu Fei. According to Yu Fei's conservative estimate, the minimum price of such a pair of diamond earrings is more than 10,000 pounds. If the quality of the diamonds on it is higher, I'm afraid it will still be a long way off.
Much more than this price.
Yu Fei was overjoyed that he could buy such exquisite diamond-encrusted silver jewelry for fifty pounds.
Wrap it up, I want it. Yu Fei said. To be continued...
