Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"It looks like it's almost Christmas." After coming out of Heathrow Airport, the Christmas decorations on the roadside made Liang En realize that it was almost Christmas.

After all, he had stayed in the Sinai Peninsula for too long, and the trip to France mainly focused on Joan of Arc, so Liang En's memory of the days was a little blurry.

"That's right, Christmas is only a week away." Joan of Arc nodded. "So you should make preparations for Christmas now, such as purchasing some ingredients for the Christmas banquet."

"Actually, many people now choose to hold Christmas banquets in hotels." Liang En said softly, "Because everyone is very busy, they don't have much time to cook Christmas dinner at home."

"It seems that everything in today's era is not better than in the past." Joan of Arc shrugged and concluded, "But no matter what, it is better than the situation in the past when everyone didn't have enough to eat. few."

Soon, the two of them arrived at the apartment that Liang En rented. After putting down their luggage, they went to the store outside to buy various supplies that Joan of Arc needed.

Fortunately, when Liang En rented a house before, he considered that this house would be his main base for operations in London, so he rented a large house specifically.

Therefore, now it is only necessary to tidy up the room that Liang En and Fan Meng used as a storage room, and they can easily free up Joan of Arc's residence in London.

Fan Meng is not in London right now because it is a holiday, so he went directly back to Dublin to help his father. After all, many people go to Chinese restaurants to hold Christmas dinners during the Christmas holidays every year. It is always easier for everyone to have an extra labor force. .

In addition to Chinese food, both Japanese and Indian restaurants will be busy during the Christmas holidays. After all, no matter the Chinese, Japanese or Indians, they don’t celebrate Christmas, so they can provide catering services for everyone.

"It feels like Christmas now is completely different from that of our time." Just as she was coming out of the store, Joan of Arc suddenly said to Liang En.

"In my day, people celebrated Christmas mainly for religious reasons. Of course, some people also wanted to take this opportunity to relax."

"But now I feel that Christmas has become a purely commercial holiday. There are many more items used for the festival than before, but overall there is no festive atmosphere like the original Christmas."

"This should be the not-so-good side of the progress of the times." After hearing what Joan of Arc said, Liang En thought of the Chinese Spring Festival. Like Christmas, the Spring Festival also feels a lot less youthful than in the past.

After lamenting the changes in the past and present, Liang En returned to the house with a lot of things, and then spent a whole afternoon tidying up the guest room that was originally used as a warehouse.

Fortunately, because Liang En and Fan Meng didn't live here for a long time, there weren't too many things piled up in that house, so cleaning it was naturally a lot easier.

However, because they have not lived there for long, there is now a lot of dust and even some spider webs in the room, so they have to spend a lot of time and energy on tidying up the room.

The whole next day, Liang En and Jeanne stayed in the room to have a good rest. Anyway, they had been running out for more than half a month, so they needed a good rest.

But it seemed that God didn't want Liang En to take this opportunity to hide at home and be lazy. Just when he had just finished his rest and was preparing to rest the next day, a call from Pierce lifted him out of bed.

"Please, I just came back from France, and I ran in the desert for more than half a month." After taking a look at the caller ID, Liang En yawned and said into the phone, "If there is nothing important, don't disturb me. "

"I'm sorry to bother you, but this matter is really important right now." Pierce's voice came from the phone. "I just wanted to ask if you plan to attend the Christmas antique exchange meeting this year."

"Antique exchange meeting, what is that?" After hearing what Pierce said, Liang En immediately sat up, then leaned against the bedside board and held the microphone and asked. “Why haven’t I heard of this exchange meeting before?”

"Because this exchange meeting is an internal exchange meeting for antique dealers, only antique shop owners and investors who have achieved a certain level in this industry will be invited to participate." Pierce explained.

"So this year you will be able to receive an invitation from the organizers of this exchange and attend this gathering after becoming a shareholder in our Emerald Thrift Store this year."

"Do you have any detailed information about this exchange meeting?" After hearing that this was an internal exchange meeting, Liang En became energetic.

Because based on the information he has heard from others before, this kind of internal communication meeting can often find a lot of interesting things, even some very precious items.

However, participating in such an exchange meeting also requires a high level of vision among the participants, because everyone is a professional, so it is not an easy task to buy something with high cost performance.

In addition to various antiques and second-hand goods, this exchange meeting will also exchange a series of second-hand tools related to treasure hunting and store management. For small businessmen like Pierce, many times they attend exchange meetings mainly to pick up second-hand goods.

To take the simplest example, the truck in Pierce's shop was bought by his father from this exchange meeting five or six years ago. Compared with the second-hand car stores outside, the price is only a little more than 60%.

For this reason, Liang En decided to participate in this exchange meeting. Of course, the main purpose of participating in the exchange meeting is not to pick up leaks, but to see if there is any second-hand equipment worth buying.

"If this is the case, you'd better pay attention in the past two days. I think they will send you an invitation soon." After hearing that Liang En said he was going, Pierce warned about the precautions for attending the exchange meeting.

"This exchange meeting will be held two days before Christmas every year. You can bring 1 to 2 relatives or friends to the exchange meeting, but the people you bring are not eligible to purchase any items."

The reason for this rule is that the annual exchange meeting is scheduled before Christmas. Considering that Christmas is a time for family reunion, participants are allowed to be accompanied by family or friends.

This is good news for Liang En, because Joan of Arc seems a little lonely here now, so being able to take her to the exchange meeting may alleviate her homesickness on this day that should be a family reunion. Feelings.

Because the call Pierce made was a bit long, Liang En felt that his original sleepiness had disappeared. So he simply got up and washed up, and then had breakfast with Jeanne who had just finished cooking.

Although Joan's current cooking skills are still a bit inferior to modern people, simple tasks such as frying an egg, frying bacon and making a vegetable salad are still not a big problem.

For example, today's breakfast was very good. At least there was no big flaw in terms of heat or anything else, and the taste was not any worse than what was served in ordinary street shops.
