Some of these 'treasures' are truly astonishing, and some are jaw-dropping. Especially some of the artworks sitting in the corner whose shape and appearance are completely unrecognizable, and they have no idea what the artist wants to express.
What left a deep impression on Su Yuhang was a certain twisted 'noodle man'.
It has a rather incomprehensible post-modern art style.
Except that it can be vaguely distinguished from the limbs and head that it is a human figure.
The rest... is completely incomprehensible.
Except for some weird artwork.
There are still many things related to local myths and legends in the gift shop.
For example, a book of fairy tales with illustrations has been purchased by quite a few tourists. Each page of the story book is equipped with an illustration, and the love story of "The King and the Beautiful Boy Qin" is fully told in the tone of a children's fairy tale.
Li Xianghe also bought a copy.
It’s different from other tourists’ own use.
She plans to use this storybook as bedtime reading for her children in the future.
While telling the story of the Aegean Sea, I combined it with my own and Su Yuhang’s travel experiences.
That picture.
Just think about it.
They all felt extremely warm.
As for the children.
There must be such a thing.
She just needs to get her things ready now.
Then I worked hard with Su Yuhang at night.
"It seems... the story book should be the best-selling gift in this store." Li Xianghe pursed his lips.
According to her careful observation, she found that tourists who came here would bring one or two small gifts that they liked before leaving, and then grab a storybook placed at the door.
Anyway, this booklet is not expensive.
You can also understand the origin of the name "Aegean Sea" by reading short stories.
"And the crystal piano." Su Yuhang added.
Crystal Qin is the official name of the small gift label.
Its essence is just a glass decoration.
It is said to be a medieval guqin restored based on descriptions in ancient books and legends. This kind of decoration is not only sold separately, but also comes as a keychain that hangs on the key, and a wake-up alarm clock with a battery.
Almost any daily gadget can be put on this crystal piano.
"Actually, I kind of want to buy back that bronze noodle man." Li Xianghe said. The so-called 'noodle man' was the consensus reached between her and Su Yuhang.
That piece of art has no name at all.
Even the author himself didn't give it a name.
no name.
Plus weird shapes.
The store owner doesn’t know what to use as a selling point.
I had no choice but to throw it in the corner of the shelf and wait for the "taken advantage of" who liked it to come to my door.
"Why did you buy that?" Su Yuhang was stunned.
It doesn't matter that the thing looks weird.
Plus because of the material.
The price is not cheap yet.
There is absolutely no use for it if you buy it back.
"Isn't Li Zaiwan always asking me to bring her a good gift?" Li Xianghe raised her eyebrows. From the first moment she saw the 'Noodle Man', she had the idea of giving this thing to Li Zaiwan.
.
Go to Jeju Island.
Head to Busan District.
The gift shops in both places are assembly line products.
If you just take a photo and search online, you can find a lot of the same style.
The toad given to Pei Junzhi last time was mercilessly laughed at by Li Zaiwan, saying that it was a cheap local tattered stone that no one wanted, and then the store picked it up and carved it into a toad for sale.
But the bronze ‘noodle man’ in front of me is different.
This is a unique and rare item.
There is no second work of the same style anywhere else, and even the author herself is unwilling to leave her name. This shows that this thing is completely her own failure.
"You're just going to buy her this?" Su Yuhang couldn't help laughing. He was just curious as to why his girlfriend always stared at the shelves opposite, seeming to be particularly concerned about the 'noodle man' in the corner that no one wanted.
"Are you really not afraid that Li Zaiwan will hit you with that thing?" Su Yuhang continued.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Li Xianghe snorted, "Isn't she always saying, 'The gifts you gave me are not innovative', 'You have to use snacks to buy gifts', 'Don't buy things that can be found everywhere'."
"Isn't that 'noodle man' the best choice?"
The weird subject matter that I can’t understand is worth 3,000 won.
And this was carefully selected by Li Xianghe.
It's not something you can see everywhere either.
It perfectly meets Lee Jae-wan's three requirements.
"In addition to bringing gifts to Li Zaiwan, we also have to prepare gifts for Jiang Shanjiu and the others."
Su Yuhang has thought about it all.
Each person must have a copy of the story book. If possible, a complete set of several styles of crystal pianos should be provided for teammates to choose.
"They don't have as many demands as Li Zaiwan." Li Xianghe casually took a few from the shelf.
This gift shop is not big to begin with.
In addition, there is an endless stream of tourists coming to buy gifts.
'Temporarily out of stock' signs have been placed on many shelves.
Holding gifts packed into cardboard boxes.
Li Xianghe and Su Yuhang walked to a nearby port.
While waiting for the ferry.
She took a photo of the gift and sent it to the team chat group.
The first person to thank was Kang Sun-kyu.
This guy never asked for any gifts.
After that came Lee Jae-wan.
Wolf: Is this a special gift from the Aegean Sea?
Wolf: Why are they all based on the guqin?
Wolf: I've seen everyone else's, why don't I have my share?
Li Xianghe tagged the photo when he sent it.
One copy per person.
Counting coaches and assistants.
A dozen or so small items.
Otherwise, the store owner wouldn't have given them a cardboard box before leaving.
To question someone.
Li Xianghe also responded immediately.
Faker: Don’t you always want a unique gift?
Faker: The gift I bought for you this time will definitely meet your requirements.
Saw these two sentences.
Li Zaiwan's curiosity was suddenly aroused.
I haven’t seen what the gift looks like yet.
Then he began to thank Li Xianghe diligently.
With a malicious smile, Li Xianghe sent a full-body photo of the 'Noodle Man', like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, followed by unstoppable laughter from his teammates.
Blank: I have no idea what this is.
Bang: Clay sculptures made by children to play house?
Bang: Could this be something made of mud from the Aegean Sea?
Bang: Why can’t I see any art in this?
Untara: Am I the only one who thinks this thing doesn't look good?
After all, it was Li Xianghe who bought it as a gift.
No matter how much my junior Park Yi-jeong finds this thing ugly.
We can only use the more euphemistic "not good-looking" to evaluate.
But the victim Li Zaiwan was speechless at this time.
I don't know what to say at all.
It took her a long time before she replied: Li Xianghe, the gift you picked is really unique.
