There are many old second-hand flea shops in Mong Kok, most of which sell antiques.
These bosses all have corporate backgrounds, understand simple English, and even speak multiple languages. They sell bottles, cans, and other random things in the store to ghosts and other tourists who come to Hong Kong.
Of course, there are also some prodigal sons who secretly take ancestral treasures and sell them on consignment in places like this.
The antique store that Shi Zhijian is visiting at this moment is the most famous "Qi Bao Pavilion" in Mong Kok.
The boss, Da Jinya, was wearing a Tang shirt, taking snuff, and holding a gilt ivory origami fan in his left hand to help Shi Zhijian introduce the treasures accumulated in his store.
Looking at it, there are only some porcelains that are difficult to distinguish from fake, as well as calligraphy and paintings. In addition, there are some large Western wall clocks, single telescopes used by pirates, music boxes, antique books in foreign languages, etc.
Shi Zhijian was not interested in these and asked if there were any vinyl records or anything like that.
When Da Jinya heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up: "It turns out that Mr. is a cultural person! In addition to these scraps of copper, iron, clay, tiles and porcelain, I do have some old records here, but not many.
If you like it, feel free to choose."
As he spoke, Da Jinya led Shi Zhijian to a shelf. Compared with the tall shelves where porcelain was placed, this shelf was a bit shabby, with some records and the like stuffed messily on it.
Records from this era have not yet become antiques. Unless they are works by famous artists, they will not be sold at a high price.
Seeing that Shi Zhijian was well-dressed, Da Jinya thought that when he met a big customer, he could get a lot of money. Unexpectedly, Shi Zhijian was only interested in records, so he lost the mood to introduce him and took a feather duster to dust the porcelain.
Dust, occasionally stop to take a sip of snuff, sip old tea, and enjoy myself.
Without Big Gold Teeth noisy at the side, Shi Zhijian could calm down and select those records.
Records are available in various genres, including not only Cantonese opera and Huangmei opera tunes, which are currently popular in Hong Kong, but also British rock music, American jazz, and Italian opera with tenor and tenor.
Shi Zhijian spent a long time selecting and selected an Elvis Presley record. After browsing for a long time, his eyes lit up, and it turned out to be the first album "Please Please Me" by the most popular rock band The Beatles.
Five years ago, the album set a record of 30 consecutive weeks at the top of the UK pop album chart.
Just as Shi Zhijian was about to reach out to pick up the vinyl record, a pair of beautiful hands next to him also reached out to pick up the record.
The jade hand was obviously a step slower and caught Shi Zhijian's hand.
"I'm sorry, sir!" A clear female voice came from next to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian turned around and saw that she was a girl in her twenties. She was not dressed in a very fashionable manner, but in a very simple way. Her black hair was tied up behind her head. She was tall and tall, like a young model from the previous life. Her face was delicate and beautiful.
She looks like a mixed race, with bright blue eyes, a high nose bridge, plump lips, and smooth and delicate skin, but she is a real beauty.
"Oh, it's okay," Shi Zhijian realized that the other party was speaking Cantonese.
"Um..." The mixed-race beauty looked hesitant. In the end, she couldn't help but pointed at the vinyl record in Shi Zhijian's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I really like this record. Can you give it to me?"
I?"
Shi Zhijian looked down at the record, then looked up at the mixed-race beauty: "I'm sorry, I really like this record too. It's hard to find the Beatles' first album!"
The light on the mixed-race beauty's face instantly dimmed, and I felt pity for her pretty appearance.
"Sir, you can make a condition. I will give you anything in exchange for this record." The mixed-race beauty plucked up the courage again, as if she didn't want to miss this rare Beatles album.
Shi Zhijian knew that the beauty in front of him was a "die-hard fan" of the Beatles. Fans like this had signs of being obsessed in previous lives. Judging from the way she gritted her teeth and made a decision, she was probably poisoned.
Shi Zhijian shook his head and was about to refuse when he heard Big Jin Ya shouting over there: "Miss Bertie, I have helped you find the antique book "The Story of Edgar Allan Poe" that you asked for last time. If you don't want it,
?”
The mixed-race beauty immediately turned back to the big gold tooth and said: "Of course I want it, thank you in advance! Please help me wrap it up!"
"Good luck!" Da Jinya was very happy. This kind of foreign Japanese books were difficult to sell and he had a lot of them in his store. Now he was making a profit by selling one book, and Miss Peretti often offered high prices.
Bertie should have been very happy to buy her beloved book, but what she liked more was the Beatles record in Shi Zhijian's hand, so she immediately looked back at Shi Zhijian, waiting for his answer.
Shi Zhijian was stunned when Da Jinya called out the name "Belody" and thought it couldn't be such a coincidence, so he immediately made a decision.
"I'm sorry, Miss Bertie? I really can't transfer this record to you."
When Bertie heard this, she was immediately disheartened.
Shi Zhijian: "But I can buy it and give it to you! It should be a gift for the first time we meet!"
After all the twists and turns, Platte was so happy that she immediately smiled and said: "Thank you, sir! You are such a good person!"
Shi Zhijian apologized like a gentleman, and then started to look for Da Jinya to pay.
Da Jinya could hear clearly over there that Shi Zhijian and this mixed-race ghost girl were fighting for this record. Originally, he could only sell a record for ten yuan, but now there are people competing for it, so if the price doesn't go up several times,
It just doesn't make sense.
So when Shi Zhijian took the record and paid the bill, Da Jinya immediately acted like he had found a treasure, touched the Beatles record and couldn't put it down and said: "I didn't expect that the record I like was pulled out by you. This
I didn’t want to sell this record!"
Who is Shi Zhijian? One look at the big gold-toothed grin and super exaggerated expression, and you know that his acting skills are not good.
"Make a price!" Shi Zhijian was afraid that if Da Jinya said too little, the mixed-race beauty Bai Leti would be less favored by him, so he deliberately reminded Da Jinya: "I know this one is going to be out of print.
The Beatles album is also difficult to buy overseas, but it is a commodity after all and should have its own price!"
The Beatles with their big gold teeth knew about ghosts, but he also knew about wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety.
"Sir, when you say that, I feel embarrassed to ask for a price. After all, you also said that this is a very precious record. How about five..."
Big Gold Tooth stretched out his hand and was about to ask for "fifty" when Shi Zhijian said first, "Okay! Five hundred is five hundred! We have an agreement!"
Da Jinya was dumbfounded, but he soon came to his senses, tried his best to put on a bitter look and said to Shi Zhijian: "Sir, you are so shrewd, I am speechless!"
