The flea markets in Paris are not much different from those in Tokyo and London. The products are varied and all-inclusive. Old magazines, dolls used in childhood can be sold as antiques, and some stall owners put some comic drafts in cardboard boxes with very high prices.
Cheap. Because of his experience in London, Yu Fei was a little excited when he saw these cartoon drafts. But he was quickly disappointed. Although there were many of these cartoon drafts, some of them were decades old.
, but there are no works by famous artists, so the value cannot be said.
In addition, there are many old-fashioned sewing machines and rice cookers, etc. Although few people care about them, putting them there adds a lot of atmosphere to the whole market and can indeed bring out a bit of nostalgia.
Walking alone on the streets of a foreign country, Yu Fei did not feel cramped or unfamiliar at all. On the contrary, he felt free and comfortable.
The stall owners did not take the initiative to solicit business, some drank tea in a limited way, and some simply sat on the worn-out recliners with their eyes closed and meditated. This kind of leisurelyness made Yu Fei feel envious, and the whole rhythm seemed to slow down like this, even to Fei's point.
They were unwilling to use their zhenqi to explore the age of antiques. In such an environment, Yu Fei felt that such utilitarian behavior was really embarrassing.
Well, forget about finding gifts for Bafaya for now and enjoy this leisurely afternoon.
Yu Fei, a Chinese like him, was wandering on the streets of Paris. Both sides of the streets were lined with ancient European household items. Yu Fei walked there, as if he had traveled through time.
It's only around two o'clock, and some stall owners are already preparing to close their stalls. This is simply impossible in China. But stall owners seem to be used to it.
Yu Fei had to turn his attention to the store.
Hello. Welcome. When Yu Fei walked into a store, the store clerk greeted Yu Fei in Chinese.
Hui Yufei was surprised. The guy was a local young man from France. He had beautiful golden hair and looked to be less than thirty years old.
Do you know that I am Chinese? Yu Fei asked: Or is it because there are many Chinese people here?
Among the Asians with dark eyes and black hair who come here, the Chinese and Japanese are the most popular. In the past, there were more Japanese, but in the past two years, the number of Chinese has gradually increased, the young man said.
Then how do you know that I am Chinese and not Japanese? Yu Fei asked curiously: If I were not Chinese, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
After spending time here for a long time, I can tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese at a glance. The waiter said.
Oh, tell me, let alone a French young man, even Yu Fei himself sometimes can't tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese. He really wants to know what this young man relies on to distinguish.
It's actually very simple. The waiter said: Japanese people always have a humble smile on their faces, but Chinese people don't.
So that's it. Yu Fei suddenly realized that this did make some sense. The humility on Japanese faces always made Yu Fei feel hypocritical and disgusting.
What kind of antiques do you want to see? The young man asked again: Although our store is not big, it has a full range of products. Some of them are passed down from China.
Many Chinese people like to go here to buy some antiques and take them back. He obviously thinks that Yu Fei is also such a person.
I'll just take a look, Yu Fei said.
He had just seen the antiques passed down from China that the young man mentioned. Most of them were porcelain for export, and their value was not very high. Yu Fei had no interest in them either.
Then take your time and watch. The young man went to clean the dust on the antiques and let Yu Fei watch by himself.
Although most of the products in the store were old, they were mostly daily necessities. Yu Fei had no interest in them and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. This is a flea market, the lowest antique market. If high-value antiques were so easy to find here, then who would go to the antique salon in the Grand Palace, and who would go to the Saint
.What about Honoré’s avenue?
Just when Yu Fei was about to leave, he suddenly found a copper scepter. The gems inlaid on the scepter had disappeared, and the gilt on the surface had also fallen off and was mottled. But it still worked.
I can only imagine its majesty and luxury back then.
However, time has changed, and it has lost its original beauty, and it cannot represent its original power, and the hand holding it has disappeared. From its body, Yu Fei felt that things are different and people are different.
desolate.
Yu Fei asked what the price of this scepter was.
The guy was obviously surprised that Fei was interested in the scepter. He hesitated and said: Two hundred euros.
The euro was put into use in January 1999. At the beginning of the 2000s, except for a few countries such as the United Kingdom, most other European countries, including the United Kingdom, had begun to use euros for settlement. At that time, the prices of euros and U.S. dollars were about the same. Two hundred
The Euro is about 1,600 RMB, which is not expensive.
The guy's straightforwardness even made Yu Fei feel a little uncomfortable. He was sure that if he were in China, he would definitely hear a twists and turns of the story. This scepter will also be associated with a famous figure in history and has a high value.
hundred times.
But here, there was nothing. The young man directly told the price, which made Yu Fei feel a little uncomfortable.
Who was the person who held it before? Yu Fei seemed to be asking the waiter, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
The guy shrugged and said: God knows, you just have to ask.
Yu Fei shook his head helplessly. Although Zhenqi could accurately tell the age of the scepter, it was not clear about its origin.
Although the scepter was seriously damaged, Yu Fei still had an unspeakable feeling for him. This is not uncommon in collections, and is also known as eye connection.
Sir, if you are interested, you can take it back and I can give you a 10% discount. The guy took out the calculator and clicked it, then handed the calculator to Yu Fei and said, "That's 1,450 RMB."
Of course Yu Fei doesn't care about the money, but holding such a broken scepter doesn't seem to have much meaning. People who don't know it might think that they have joined the Beggar Gang.
Just when Yu Fei was about to put the scepter back, he was suddenly attracted by the decoration at the bottom.
The decoration is not complicated. It is three crescent moons stacked on top of each other. The two upper ones are side by side and the lower one is placed in the center.
Yu Fei was not familiar with this pattern, but he vaguely remembered where he had seen it before, and had a slight impression of it. He was so anxious that he couldn't remember it, as he seemed to have seen it not long ago.
With the assistance of Zhenqi, Yu Fei's memory can be said to be very amazing, and it is very rare to be in such a state of not being able to remember things.
Yu Fei thought hard for a while, but still had no results. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that this scepter was destined not to belong to him.
Yu Fei thanked the waiter and was about to leave. But when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and stared at the scepter with an incredible expression in his eyes.
He finally remembered where he had seen such a pattern. No wonder he couldn't remember it for a while. Mainly because after experiencing the tragic victory in the underground bar in Kyoto, Yu Fei's vitality disappeared overnight.
Over the past few months, some of my memories have been damaged.
I really didn’t expect to see such precious antiques in this small shop. It seems that I am really lucky.
I want this scepter, please wrap it up for me. Yu Fei paid the bill immediately without any further hesitation.
The clerk had just seen Yu Fei turn around and leave, and thought that the business was in trouble again, but he didn't expect that Yu Fei would buy it so simply, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
As if he was worried that Yu Fei would regret leaving again, the clerk quickly packed the scepter, and even the packaging fee was not charged to Yu Fei.
However, Yu Fei was not a stingy person. He gave all 20 euros as a tip to the young waiter, and received a series of thanks in exchange.
After buying the scepter, Yu Fei was in a good mood. It really took no effort to find it after breaking through the iron shoes.
Okay, today's mission is completed. Yu Fei feels relaxed. Now it's time to go back and take a rest, take a shower, and then go to Mr. Bafaya's banquet. To be continued...
