Boss Pan couldn't believe that Zhou Shihao and his son actually won nearly 10 million by betting on stones there.
How can this be?
Or in the blink of an eye.
"Xiao Chen just picked it for us," Pan Sheng said.
"Dr. Xiao, what about yours?" Boss Pan asked in disbelief.
"Uncle Pan, I was unlucky and missed."
Xiao Chen didn't win, but was picked by both of them. Boss Pan thought Pan Sheng was really interesting as a friend.
Now, while the two of them were waiting for the appraiser to arrive, Xiao Chen took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Ling.
"Sister Zhao Ling, where are you?"
"Hey, why did you call me?" Zhao Ling asked in disbelief.
This bastard secretly went back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, causing him to take the initiative to contact the other party, but the other party did not reply. Although he later found out the reason, he still felt a little unhappy.
"I'm here at the City God's Temple. Do you want to come over and visit the temple fair?"
"I think, I'm at school."
Now that colleges and universities have started school on the 15th, Zhao Ling has nothing to do at home, so she goes back to the university dormitory. However, when she looks at Yang Yumin, she is not happy.
"Are you coming to pick me up?" Zhao Ling asked.
"Just wait, I'll go over."
Xiao Chen hung up the phone, and Zhou Shihao on the side asked: "Xiao Chen, is she your girlfriend?"
"The second young lady of the Zhao family."
This Zhao Ling should not be very famous, but Lu Wentian has always wanted to pursue him, but the other party didn't take him seriously at all.
"I'll pick her up."
Anyway, the two of them were waiting here, and Xiao Chen drove over to pick up Zhao Ling.
Not far from the girls' dormitory building of Jiaotong University, when he parked his car and came down, Zhao Ling was already waiting there, wearing exactly that scarf.
When he saw Xiao Chen, he hurried over, opened the car door, got into the passenger seat and said, "Hurry up, that nasty guy is here again."
When Xiao Chen reversed the car and left here, Yang Yumin followed him.
At first glance, she found that Zhao Ling had gotten into Xiao Chen's car. She originally wanted to chase after him, but found that Xiao Chen had already run away.
She didn't hear what Zhao Ling was saying just now.
However, these two people must have gone out to play.
Yang Yumin felt that she must find those two people.

Ling, when she saw through the rearview mirror that Yang Yumin was not chasing her, she felt very happy.
"Why did you come here?"
"Didn't I come here specifically to see you?"
"I do not believe."
Zhao Ling didn't believe that Xiao Chen came to see her on purpose.
When he arrived near the Chenghuang Temple, Xiao Chen found that there were already so many people that he couldn't drive at all. He could only find a parking space nearby, park and then go there with Zhao Ling.
The two got out of the car.
Zhao Ling has not participated in a temple fair for a long time.
In big cities, especially in times of material scarcity, visiting temple fairs is the happiest time.
Xiao Chen pulled Zhao Ling, but Zhao Ling did not move away.
After all, with so many people there, we don’t know if they will get separated by then.
"Sister Zhao Ling, let's go to our friends first. I have friends here."
friend?
Zhao Ling still couldn't believe it.
However, after thinking about it, I think it is very possible.
After all, Xiao Chen often treats people and saves them.
After pulling Zhao Ling to the cornucopia, Zhou Shihao and Pan Sheng were waiting for him. The appraiser had just come over. According to the price, Pan Sheng's two pieces of jadeite were about 10 million.
Since the value is ten million, Pan Sheng has been waiting for Xiao Chen since he got the check.
Now when they saw Xiao Chen dragging a beautiful woman over, they knew that this was the second young lady of the Zhao family whom Xiao Chen was talking about.
In fact, neither the Zhao family nor the Wanbo family are very well-known in Binhai City, but when he saw Zhao Ling, Zhou Shihao was still a little impressed.
"This is Boss Pan from Cornucopia, this is Master Pan, and this is Master Zhou from the Zhou family."
After Zhao Ling and the three of them greeted each other.
"Uncle Pan, let's go to the temple fair."
Temple fairs, also known as "temple fairs" or "festivals", are Chinese folk religions and annual customs. They are generally held on festivals such as the Lunar New Year, the Lantern Festival, and the second dragon raising its head in February.
It is also one of the forms of Chinese market trade. Its formation and development are related to the religious activities of local temples. It is held on temple festivals or specified dates. It is mostly located in and near temples and carries out activities such as worshiping gods, entertainment and shopping. Temple fairs
Popular in vast areas of the country.
Temple fairs are ancient traditional folk cultural activities.
The Spring Festival is commonly known as the Chinese New Year. In addition to the general New Year customs, temple fairs were the main New Year customs in the old cities.
With the development of the times, a series of temple fairs are held every Spring Festival in various parts of the country. In addition to the familiar "Changdian", there are also the "Wuxian Wealth Temple" (from the second to the sixteenth day of the Lunar New Year), "Dongyue Temple" (the Lunar New Year)
1st to 15th), "Baiyun Temple" (1st to 19th day of the Lunar New Year), and "Long Live Mountain Spring Festival Temple Fair" (1st to 16th day of the lunar calendar) are all famous temple fairs in China, which are the most distinctive in the Chinese New Year.
The same applies to the Chenghuang Temple now. From the New Year's Eve until the end of the Lantern Festival tomorrow, the temple fairs here are the most lively.
Maybe it's the last two days now, so there are so many people.
Xiao Chen pulled Zhao Ling, and Pan Sheng and Zhou Shihao followed behind.
In fact, these two people don't like places with many people, but when Xiao Chen wants to take a stroll, they can only follow behind.
In addition to worshiping gods and praying activities, temple fairs also include other activities.
The most interesting thing is the folk performances here, which bring together almost all the good performances.
Temple fairs are festival activities related to culture and entertainment. Various folk artists perform to make a living. Among them, the main ones are Qinqiang opera, pole opera (i.e. puppet show), cross talk, oboe, and magic (called "illusion" in ancient times and commonly known as "jugglery")
, counting treasures, playing Chinese flags, Yangko, stilts, face changing, etc.
Now when he came to one of the places and saw that his face was changing, Zhao Ling couldn't walk anymore and just stood there and watched.
When she took out her mobile phone and kept taking pictures, Pan Sheng behind her reminded her.
"Xiao Chen, there are a lot of people here now, a mixture of good and bad. Take care of your things. There may be many thieves looking for targets."
This is normal and unavoidable.
After all, those thieves are just messing around.
Now that there are so many people, it is a good opportunity for them to take action.
When Zhao Ling heard that there was a thief, she was a little worried about whether she would be targeted by the thief while holding the small bag.
"It's okay, I'm here to watch."
If a thief dared to approach him, Xiao Chen would naturally know it at a glance.
This face-changing performance is mainly to attract other people to come and buy things. After watching it, continue to move forward with the flow of people.
When he came to a place, Zhao Ling stopped again. What was being performed there now was a puppet show. In fact, it was pure puppets. One person was operating the puppets and even sang the sounds, which looked like real people.
In an era of material scarcity, puppet shows like this one were especially popular with the elderly and children in rural areas, and they might even forget to eat after watching them.
