Ye Yuan, who was thinking about catching up on some sleep, was pulled by his father and was about to go to Blue Island to choose a store.

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart. He really didn't expect his father to be so concerned about this matter. What he just mentioned yesterday, his father would take him to see the store today.

Ye Yuan could not discourage his father's enthusiasm, so he dragged his tired body and drove to Landao City with his father.

...

Landao City, Mingwu Street.

At this moment, Ye Yuan was lazily following behind the energetic Father Ye.

The reason why this street is called Mingwu Street is said to be because a great general built his mansion here during the Ming Dynasty.

After the reform and opening up, Landao City restored the ancient appearance of this street. Many retro buildings can be seen everywhere on this street.

Today's Mingwu Street has developed into an antique street similar to Panjiayuan and Liulichang in Shangjing.

But the quantity and quality of antiques here cannot be compared with those in Shangjing.

But speaking of Mingwu Street, it was indeed popular for a period of time in the past few years.

At that time, tourists from all over the country came to Mingwu Street to shop for treasures, and the number of tourists and sales were already close to those of Panjiayuan in Beijing.

The reason why Mingwu Street is able to attract so many people to come to Taobao is mainly because of a CCTV treasure appraisal program a few years ago.

At that time, a middle-aged man who claimed to be a native of Landao brought a Tang Sancai lady figurine to the stage for experts to appraise the treasure.

He said that this three-color Tang Sancai lady figurine was purchased accidentally at Mingwu Street in Landao City for 4,500 yuan.

After appraisal by several experts on site, the final conclusion was that this Tang Sancai lady figurine is authentic.

If this item is put up for auction, the starting price should be more than 3 million, and the final transaction price is conservatively estimated to not be less than 5 million.

As soon as this program was aired, Mingwu Street became really popular. This treasure appraisal program was simply a complete free publicity for Mingwu Street.

At that time, even some foreigners from all over the country would come to Mingwu Street to hunt for treasures.

But a few months later, a message on Weibo brought Mingwu Street to the forefront.

The news came from a person who opened a shop in Mingwu Street. He said that the middle-aged man who presented the Tang Sancai lady figurines on the treasure appraisal program was actually hired by several large shop owners on Mingwu Street.

Even the three-color figurines of ladies from the Tang Dynasty were rented by a few bosses from others.

Their purpose is to use the treasure appraisal program as a publicity.

These planners are all the owners of the largest shops on Mingwu Street.

They just want Mingwu Street to become popular, so their stores will naturally be good.

The abacus plan was very good, and it was indeed developed according to their ideas. Mingwu Street was indeed much more popular than before, but as soon as the news came out, netizens all over the Internet were scolding these bosses on Mingwu Street.

Although the matter was cleared up, the popularity of Mingwu Street has further increased because of this negative news.

Therefore, Mingwu Street is now the most famous antique street in Hedong Province.

The reason why Ye Yuan knew Mingwu Street so well was because the news was so popular at the time that even Ye Yuan, who was still in school, knew the whole story.

As soon as Father Ye entered Mingwu Street, his spirit immediately changed. He browsed every shop with great interest and chatted with the bosses, looking like an insider.

When Father Ye took Ye Yuanjin to the largest shop on Mingwu Street, which mainly sells ancient coins, he suddenly heard someone calling him:

"Xiaoye, why are you here?"

The sound came from the stairwell on the second floor.

Ye Yuan looked up and found Wang Xuehong and two wealthy middle-aged men standing at the stairs. It seemed that several people were preparing to go downstairs.

"Uncle Wang, are you there too? I'm here with my dad for a walk."

Ye Yuan saw Wang Xuehong and replied enthusiastically.

Wang Xuehong walked down the stairs affectionately and introduced the two middle-aged people next to him to the Ye family and his son.

"This is the owner of this store, you can just call him Uncle Li."

Wang Xuehong pointed to a rich middle-aged man about 1.70 meters tall and said, then pointed to another slightly taller rich middle-aged man and introduced:

"This is Boss Zhang from the shop next door. He mainly specializes in calligraphy and painting."

"Hello Uncle Li, hello Boss Zhang"

Ye Yuan said hello politely.

The boss named Zhang pretended to be unhappy and said:

"Lao Li, why did you call me uncle and then you changed it to boss when you came to my place?

Since you are Brother Xuehong’s nephew, if you like me, Lao Zhang, you can call me Uncle Zhang from now on, but if you call me Boss Zhang, I don’t know you.”

The boss named Zhang pretended to be angry, but in fact he was using this method to get closer to Ye Yuan and Wang Xuehong.

He knew very well what kind of person Wang Xuehong was, and the young man who could ask him to take the initiative to come over and say hello must not be simple.

Ye Yuan knew what these old foxes were thinking, so he did not show any pretense on this matter and directly changed his words:

"Well, please ask Uncle Zhang to take care of you in the future."

"Hahaha, not bad, the young man is good."

"Xiaoyuan, don't tell me you came here to shop for treasure, your home..."

Before Wang Xuehong could finish his words, Ye Yuan quickly stopped him from saying anything else. He didn't want his father to know something about him:

"Uncle Wang, I came here with my dad. The main reason is to see if there are any suitable shops here. I want to come down with my family and find something for my dad to do."

How smart is Wang Xuehong? Just from Ye Yuan's words, he knew that there were some problems, so he looked at Ye's father and said:

"I should be a few years older than you, so I should call you brother.

I wonder if Brother Ye has seen anyone suitable? I know a few people on this street. If there is anyone I like, I will help you make peace."

Wang Xuehong was very polite to Ye’s father, which made Ye’s father a little at a loss:

"No, I just came here and I don't know which store sells it. We just took a look around."

"Come on, let's go upstairs to the tea room to chat. If we stand here chatting, others will see it and think that I, Lao Li, don't know how to treat guests."

With that said, the owner of the shop led a few people towards a tea room on the second floor.

When we arrived at the tea room, after a few people sat down, the waiter brought in tea and politely poured tea for everyone before walking out.

Boss Li asked Father Ye after taking a sip of tea.

"I wonder when brother Ye was born?"

“I was born in 1969”

Ye's father didn't hide it either. Being asked about his age like this is a normal thing.

"Then you really have to be a brother. The youngest here is Fatty Zhang, who was also born in 1967. I am 65 years old. As for Brother Wang, he is older than us."

Boss Li said humorously.

Ye Yuan watched from the side, wondering if people of this age were all like this, so he had to make all the arrangements first when they met.

This is different from today's young people. No matter who is older or younger, today's young people are each other's "father".
