Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

The Scottish Highlands are indeed a sparsely populated place, so human settlements that can survive here will always have some unique industries of their own to survive.

For example, the small town of Fox was originally a small town based on pastoralism. Later, it gradually became a supply point on the road to the north and the location of the only comprehensive school from elementary school to high school in a large surrounding area.

Although this place has developed well compared to those villages and small towns that are gradually disappearing, the overall development has now reached a bottleneck period.

According to the mayor, people in the town and surrounding villages tend to go to big cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow or London, so the population loss in the entire region is now a problem that cannot be ignored.

"We also know that this problem is basically inevitable. After all, the economic development level here is not high and various incomes are low, so young people are naturally unwilling to stay here." When talking about this core issue, the mayor seemed a little troubled.

Liang En and Jeanne listened quietly on the side. For outsiders like them, it is best to listen more and talk less when they don't understand the specific situation at all.

The mayor said that these contents were just to complain, so after saying a few words, the topic turned to the part of local history that Liang En wanted to know most.

But the local history is indeed a bit lackluster. As a wild place in the minds of most British people, there are indeed not many relics of various human activities in the Scottish Highlands.

For example, the most historic thing in this town is only a church built in the mid-18th century. As for the house where the nobleman lived when he was hunting, it has long since become a ruin.

"Actually, the house you have now was built on the remains of a hunting lodge there five or six years ago. However, when it was built, no one found anything special about this place." The mayor finally said.

"I have to say, this town does feel a bit boring." Liang En said to Joan of Arc after the mayor finished chatting and left. "Probably hunting is the only activity here that's remotely interesting."

"But the problem is that the annual hunting season only starts on August 21st, and it's still a month away." Joan looked at the date on her phone and shook her head. "No wonder no one comes to this place."

But this place also has an advantage, that is, you can stay away from the world and calm down to do things that you usually don't have time to do. Especially this place is very conducive to Liang En's novel transfer.

"Although the English letters are spelled differently, both the small town of Forks and the rainy climate make this place look very suitable for carrying that copy of The Twilight Saga."

Looking out the window at the gloomy weather, Liang En suddenly knew what he should do. So in the next few days, Liang En stayed in the room and began to move the novels that he had not finished moving before.

Joan of Arc has been responsible for various logistics these days, and at the same time, she goes to town almost every day to check on the situation.

In addition to writing, Liang En also went to the ranch as previously agreed and rearranged the work situation at the ranch. Because he had a ranch at home, he quickly arranged the situation there.

The days of writing are naturally boring. Even if the transportation is much easier than writing, it is not a very pleasant thing.

The only good thing is that they can copy books very quickly in this environment that eliminates almost all distractions, so they completed their work in about a week.

"Finally the work is done." After carrying the third "Eclipse" of "The Twilight Saga" here, Liang En walked downstairs excitedly, but unexpectedly found that Joan of Arc was not there.

"Jean, Jean - strange, it's lunch time now. Where are people going?" After looking around the room and not finding Jeanne, Liang En scratched his hair in confusion. "Maybe I have something to do in town."

But just when Liang En was about to go to the kitchen to cook, the door of the room was opened, and Jeanne walked in from the outside, and his friend Pierce came in with him.

"Pierce, welcome!" Liang En was a little surprised when his friend walked in, but he still welcomed his friend in warmly. "Then you probably haven't had lunch. I've just made lunch here. You can come and eat it together."

"Thank you. It's still a little too cold here in the Scottish Highlands. I really need to eat something hot." Pierce rubbed his hands and said, "Your place is really a bit out of the way, and the mobile phone signal is not good. I'm on the road. It took me two wrong steps to find this place.”

"After all, I won the competition, so you can completely accept some shortcomings." Liang En asked as he cut a piece of cheese lasagna and put it on the plate in front of Pierce.

"But why did you come here today? I remember that this season should be the best season for business. In previous years, you couldn't leave at this time."

"It's mainly because I hired two waiters this year, so I don't have to keep an eye on the store myself," Pierce said after taking a bite of lasagna.

"As for me coming here today, I am here to visit you on the one hand, and on the other hand, I hope that if you are free, we can participate in the auction of Edinburgh Airport together."

"I remember that you basically didn't do airport auction business before." After hearing what Pierce said, Liang En immediately raised his head and stared at him. "You said the airport auction was too risky and it would be difficult to find anything of value."

"Yes, but now that our business has expanded, the original channels alone are not enough to provide enough products." Pierce looked a little helpless. "Half the stuff in the store now is the modern crafts you got."

"Of course, I'm not saying that these modern handicrafts are not good. At least compared to those antiques whose supply is not stable, this kind of handicraft can provide a stable income for the store."

"But we are an antique store after all. Not only can antique trading not stop, but it must also be put in a more important position. So I must open up some new purchase channels."

"Understood, I understand." Liang En nodded to express his approval of his friend's approach. At least Pierce's approach now seems to be full of fighting spirit, which is commendable.

After finishing the meal, Liang En and the others drove to Edinburgh with Pierce. Because for them, the things here had almost been dealt with, and they had finished writing what should be written, so it was time to leave.

Liang En has heard about airport auctions in the UK before. A lot of luggage or items are always lost at the airport every year. According to British law, any items lost at the airport that are not claimed for six months will be auctioned.

Although most of the lost things are just worthless clothing or daily necessities, sometimes, you can also find some valuable things.

This is especially true for large transportation hubs like Edinburgh, so Pierce will choose to go to that place at this time to see if there is nothing valuable and determine whether it can become a new supply location.
