MTL - Treasure Hunt America-Chapter 17 Antique Street

The collection grows slowly, and the recommendation is also small. Let's give some strength!

*********

In the past, when Jin Muchen and Ma Ling were together, although he would often come to Chinatown to go to restaurants and go shopping, he had never been to the market on Hester Street.

And now Candace took him to such an antique market in the United States. For him, it was definitely a bit of a surprise and a bit of a surprise. After all, after the previous successful experience of picking up leaks, he had a chance to try again. Wish, but never found the right place.

And this time Candace opened a door to a new world for him, just enough to satisfy his eager desire to try.

There is also a huge collection of people in the United States. Many people also like antiques. There are countless antique shops in the SOHO district of Manhattan. However, although Jin Muchen knew about such places, he could not afford to go.

First, he felt that there were not many leaks to pick up at all. After all, where there were antique shops, they were all experts. If they wanted to find leaks from experts, there was little hope.

Secondly, it is also because there are basically no cheap goods anywhere, which also eliminates the possibility of you going to other people's antique stores to pick up leaks. You must know that Manhattan is the essence of New York.

As for the antique shops in SOHO, the general target customers are the high-ranking bankers on Wall Street. Those rich guys never take money seriously. When they buy things, they always only buy the most expensive ones. habit.

There are very few random items in the antique stores dedicated to them that are less than $10,000.

Such an antique shop is obviously not a suitable place for Jin Muchen to test his eyesight. Even if he sees something right, he may not be able to afford the price of that thing.

So Jin Muchen was thinking about where to try his eyesight. You must know that in the United States, in addition to those regular antique stores, the other largest antique distribution center is on the Internet, and there are antiques on E-BAY. Special area, but where is there any chance to find out?

Some time ago, Jin Muchen was still having a headache about where to try his abilities. Although Fang Bo knew a few, he kept not telling himself because of his lack of skill and fear of being deceived.

But now Candace, the place he brought himself, gave him the feeling that it was similar to those small antique markets in China. The quality of the goods was uneven, and the prices were relatively low, and he could bargain for it. A place that might be missed.

There are many people in the market, bustling, people come and go, black, yellow, and white people are all available, which is very lively.

Although it is already September, New York has entered the season of early autumn, but at first glance, there are still white girls with short sleeves, short skirts and long legs, and because they are in Manhattan, there is no need to worry about the quality of these girls. Black-haired, blond, red-haired, hot and tall, all of them looked seductive, and they all smelled of perfume on women.

If it wasn't for Candice, an outstanding beauty, Jin Muchen couldn't control his eyes and wanted to eat ice cream.

Hester Street is about two miles long, and on the left is a row of dozens of shops selling handicrafts and some second-hand goods.

On the other side is the Swan Park, which is lined with green trees. The stalls that buy antiques are generally placed here, and there are also some stalls selling snacks.

The stalls here are not the same as the roadside stalls in the open air in China. The layout is more formal and neat. The stall owner will set up a small shed that looks like a decent size. Each shed is about ten square meters, and inside the shed Simple containers and shelves will be placed in a very formal manner, and the products sold will be neatly arranged.

The New Yorkers who come here are all players who like handicrafts and antiques, and some are tourists who come here purely to watch the excitement, so this market has never lacked popularity.

Next to the antique stalls, there are also some stalls selling drinks and snacks. The front of each stall will soon be crowded with people. The tempting aroma of food spreads in the market, accompanied by the bustling The crowd, the streets that were already lively, quickly became even hotter.

Jin Muchen rushed in with Candice excitedly, but soon lost his original interest, because he found that this place was different from what he imagined, at least not the same as the antique markets in China that he knew. .

Of course, this is mainly related to Americans' cognition of antiques. Because the United States has a short time since its founding and its own historical accumulation is not deep, the cognition of antiques is also very different from that of Chinese people.

In their opinion, some old and second-hand goods can be regarded as antiques as long as they have a history of 30 to 50 years, and because this country has not experienced the feudal dynasty, they don't care about those things, right? The royal family used it, or it came from the common people.

Even some exquisite handicrafts, as long as they are old enough, can be attributed to the category of antiques.

In fact, many of the antique stalls on Heist Street sell handicrafts, some sell wood carvings, some sell second-hand furniture, and some sell handmade necklaces or bracelets made on the spot.

What's more, someone is actually selling some celebrity football cards, and some glass bottles with strange shapes, or Coke bottle caps, in short, there are all kinds of strange things.

There are also some who sell silverware, but those silverware, in Jin Muchen's eyes, are more like modern imitations no matter how you look at them.

There are also some black buddies from Africa who are not sure if they are selling ivory carvings that look like animal teeth or bones, or bone carving necklaces, bracelets and the like.

Jin Muchen took a closer look. The carving was very rough, and the production year was not very sure, but it was such a thing, but Lao Mei liked it very much.

From time to time, there will be a few big girls, or middle-aged aunts who take care of their families and those black buddies where they bargain.

And Jin Muchen, who rushed in excitedly, was quickly disappointed, and there was no leak that he expected to pick up.

However, he soon adjusted his mood. After all, a leak like that time could not happen all the time even in China.

Ambitious thoughts of picking up leaks, but in less than 20 minutes, they were gone.

Looking at the group of foreigners surrounded by stalls and haggling happily, Jin Muchen is really incomprehensible. Many of those things are sculptures from Africa or Latin America, and the mobilization is rough, even if it is a few years old, many They are also products after the Qianlong year.

It's really hard to see what aesthetic value is in it, but the foreigners like it very much, and they keep going around those stalls.

To be honest, compared with our domestic porcelain and jade, those things are not even worthy of shoes. This really makes Jin Muchen even more curious about the aesthetic taste of these foreigners.

However, although he can't find it, Candace is very interested in many things here.

For example, those shiny necklaces, although she knew they were made of glass material, she would still rush over with Jin Muchen with great interest to watch them.

"How about this one? That one is pretty too..."

In short, this is what Jin Muchen has heard Candace say the most. The colorful small commodities here make him feel as if he has arrived in [email protected], and for Candace, everything looks fresh.

Jin Muchen quickly adjusted his mentality and went shopping with Candice here. Although he couldn't find any leaks, it was also a good choice to have a good time shopping with the beauties.

As the saying goes, what is lost is in the east, and what is harvested is mulberry. This time should be the first date for the two of them. With such a beautiful woman, if you don't know how to enjoy it, you will be an idiot.

Women seem to always lack resistance to those shiny things, just like Jin Muchen lacks resistance to food.

In such a big market, not only those antiques and second-hand goods are worth paying attention to, but there is also one thing worth paying attention to, that is, a variety of delicacies from all over the world. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

When it comes to food, many Chinese may slap their chests and say that we are the paradise for foodies, and those things in the United States are simply incomparable to us.

Although these words have a strong sense of national pride, as a foodie, Jin Muchen felt that he could not agree with the above point of view.

It is true that there are many, countless snacks and famous foods in our country, but the American side is actually not bad. Americans may not be able to make a wide variety of food with different tastes like China.

But the wealth of the people here determines the market position here.

Every year, millions of foreigners flock to the United States, and these people bring the food from their hometowns to the United States, so in the United States, you can eat food from all over the world without going abroad.

And this is the biggest difference from our domestic food. Although the tastes of various foods in China are different, they have never been separated from the category of Chinese food. Here, you can taste different foods from different regions of the world. The taste of gourmet.

This was fully reflected in the market on Hester Street. In the short two-mile market, Jin Muchen only walked halfway, and felt that his belly began to protest like himself again.

Although he was a little discouraged to pick it up, the aroma of the food from the street soon attracted him. There was a stall selling amber bracelets, which happened to be a stall making sandwiches.

Jin Muchen walked over quickly, looked in front of him, hehe, it happened to be his good sip.
