Unlimited choices: the options are really simple

Laojiekou Antique City.

This was originally the oldest shopping mall in Lincheng. Later, large shopping malls emerged one after another, and it became a place specializing in art and antiques.

Wu Xiufen and Chen Guilin were organizing things at home. The house was too big and lacked some ornaments, so they sent Chen Hao here to buy some art and other things to display at home.

In fact, Chen Hao likes visiting antique cities. When he was in college, tomb robbing novels were very popular, so Chen Hao also got into the trap. After reading those tomb robbing novels, Chen Hao became very interested in antiques.

However, Chen Hao only learned some simple knowledge related to antiques from books or videos, and he was at best an antique enthusiast.

Chen Hao stopped in front of a wood carving shop. Most of today's wood carving crafts are machine-carved, and there are fewer and fewer manual carvings. However, at this moment, the owner of this shop is carving carefully on the operating table. Holding an object attracted Chen Hao's attention......

"Chen Hao......"

Chen Hao was watching attentively when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

He turned his head and looked for a voice, only to see Lin Roy approaching from far away, followed by a gentle-looking man beside her.

"Roy, what a coincidence."

Chen Hao was quite surprised to meet Lin Roy here.

"It's quite a coincidence......"

Lin Roy walked up to Chen Hao, and then subconsciously looked around him:"You didn't bring your girlfriend?"

"She returned to Jiangcheng."Chen Hao replied calmly.

"I see......"

"It turns out that someone left you behind!!"Lin Roy looked like he was gloating about his misfortune.

"Roy, who is this?"

At this time, the gentle-looking man following behind Lin Roy asked.

"Oh, my high school classmate Chen Hao......"

"This is Shi Fengxiao."

Lin Roy introduced the two of them.

"Hello......"

Shi Fengxiao stretched out his hand, looking gentle and elegant.

"Hello......"

The other party took the initiative, and Chen Hao couldn't refuse, so he shook hands with Shi Fengxiao casually.

"Chen Hao, what are you looking at here? ?"

"I didn't even see a beauty as big as me walking by!! Lin Roy asked curiously

"Wood carving, this old gentleman is very good!"

Chen Hao pointed to the shop owner who was concentrating on the operation.

"Do you still understand this? ? Lin Roy asked

"I don’t quite understand, but I like it. After all, there are fewer and fewer craftsmen nowadays, and many handicrafts are made by machines. I always feel that handicrafts made by machines have no soul!"

Chen Hao talked eloquently

"Young man, what you said is right. I am just saying this to you. I give you this gadget......."

At this time, the boss, who had been concentrating on carving, suddenly spoke and handed a rose he had just finished carving to Chen Hao in his palm.

This rose has a very layered feel, and each petal is very clear and lifelike.

Only then did Chen Hao notice that there was a bouquet of roses placed in the corner of the operating table. The boss probably carved it in the shape of the bouquet of roses on a whim.

"awesome!!"

Chen Hao sighed sincerely.

"If you have been practicing for decades, you will be able to pick up this little gadget at your fingertips."The boss laughed.

"decades......"

Chen Hao was very surprised

"The wood carvings in my shop are all carved by myself and my apprentices, none of them are mechanized products!"The boss said with pride.

After listening to the boss's introduction, Chen Hao couldn't help but move his eyes to the other wood carvings in the store. The shop is about fifty or sixty square meters, and the booth is filled with various wood carvings, large and small. At first glance, It is estimated that there are hundreds of pieces......

"Did you hand carve these? ? ?"

Chen Hao was shocked by this dazzling array of lifelike wood carvings.

"certainly......"

"I started learning wood carving when I was sixteen, and I am fifty-six years old this year!"

"Exactly forty years......"

The boss lamented

"awesome!!"

"admire......"

Chen Hao gave a thumbs up, then pointed to the more conspicuous wood carving of"Horse Stepping on Flying Swallows" at the entrance of the store and asked:"So, how much does this cost? ?"

"Young man, you have really good eyesight. This horse stepping on the flying swallow is one of my most proud works. It took ten months from the selection of materials to the completion of the carving......."

The boss said slowly

"It's obvious that you really put your heart and soul into this piece."Chen Hao nodded while looking at this"horse stepping on a flying swallow"

"So, you may not be able to accept this price......"

The boss smiled and held out three fingers:"I want this number."......"

"Thirty thousand yuan? ? ?"

Before Chen Hao could speak, Shi Fengxiao exclaimed.

The boss glanced at him and shook his head gently:"Three hundred thousand!!"

"What? ? ?"

"300,000 yuan for such a broken wooden sculpture? ? ?"

Shi Fengxiao was immediately speechless.

"Um......"

"I also think this wood carving is good, but unfortunately, I can’t afford it......."Lin Roy muttered while looking at the wood carving in front of him

"Roy, do you like it? ? ?"

Shi Fengxiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hmm, pretty good-looking......"

Lin Roy nodded.

"Since you like it, I'll buy it for you......"

Shi Fengxiao smiled slightly, then looked at the boss and said:"Boss, please offer a more affordable price. I understand the rules of this antique town. You want a price of 300,000, right?""

"In this case, I will give you three thousand, do you think it is okay? ? ?

After listening to Shi Fengxiao's words, the boss gave him a blank look:"Turn left when you go out, it's cool outside!"!"
