Treasure Hunt America

Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!

*************

The next morning when I got up and went downstairs, Fang Bo got up early, and by the way, he had already made breakfast.

Fang Bo has been in the United States for 20 years, and has long been accustomed to the American way of life, especially breakfast, although he likes Chinese-style fried dough sticks, soy milk, steamed buns and other foods.

But as a bachelor, Western-style breakfast is the most suitable for him, because it is simple and convenient.

Milk oatmeal with a few slices of omelette on toast and a few slices of crispy bacon completes a hearty American breakfast.

"You kid, you'll be in time. You'll come down as soon as my breakfast is ready."

Fang Bo put the frying pan in the pool and said to Jin Muchen with a smile, while Jin Muchen nodded hilariously.

"Of course. Uncle Fang, your craftsmanship is really good. The fried bacon is crispy and tastes just right!"

As soon as Jin Muchen sat down, he picked up a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it crunchy.

Although Americans don't particularly like pork, there is one pork product that almost every American can't refuse, and that is bacon, which is an indispensable item for a typical American breakfast.

Uncle Fang smiled and sat down, then poured himself a cup of black coffee, picked up the morning newspaper, and ate it while reading it. After so many years, he was completely accustomed to this style of American breakfast.

"By the way, that Mr. Wang called me recently."

Fang Bo read a few pages of the newspaper, then picked up the toast and started smearing butter on it, saying to Jin Muchen while smearing it.

"That Wang Xueming?"

Jin Muchen's mind flashed the image of a domestic tycoon with a bit of a Confucian businessman temperament. He was a cool person, but he didn't expect that this time he waited so long to call back. I don't know if he has something else. idea.

"Well, it's him."

Fang Bo smeared butter and jam on the toast, then put it into his mouth and took a bite.

"How did he say?"

"He contacted me a few days ago and asked me to send him the photos of those bottles and china bowls that you collected. He said he would ask someone to take a look. He was very interested in the gold setter in particular. He just called me back this morning. I could hear that he was very excited. He told me that if his company hadn’t had a lot of entertainment at the end of the year, he would have flown in today. It will take a few days, he said to wait. As soon as the New Year's Day is over, he will come over, let's keep those things for him."

Jin Muchen listened and nodded, so that's a good thing. You must know that the gold-bound porcelain bowl is a good thing, and it can definitely be regarded as a national treasure.

It stands to reason that if he was maximizing profit, he would have sent the bowl to Sotheby's or Christie's for them to be auctioned.

But it is because he is unwilling to let these foreign devils drive up the price, and on the other hand, he also hopes that this national treasure can be returned to the country, so he has been refusing to put on the auction.

You must know that he is very short of money now. Although he has a million or so in his hand, he now wants to settle down in Manhattan and take over his parents in China.

So his money is definitely not enough. If he sells the gold-bound porcelain bowl, there will be no shortage of funds.

But he never sent the photoshoot, which is already saving face for Mr. Wang.

"Well, that's fine. I'll talk about it when he comes, and see if his offer is sincere or not."

"Well, that's what I think too. Although we have the intention to bring the national treasure back, we can't do it in vain? By the way, what about your snuff bottles? What are your plans?"

Uncle Fang turned to ask Jin Muchen's arrival, his eyes were full of expectations, how could Jin Muchen not know what his old man meant.

"Fang Bocheng, as you said, most of our antiques business are also antique lovers. Although I just started, but now I find these antiques more interesting the more I play, I really like these snuff bottles, so I I plan to keep it, it is my own collection, and I don’t plan to take it out and sell it.”

"That's right! Although we are in the antique business, we are different from those merchants who only rely on antiques to sell for money. The purpose of our business is to use the money we earn to support our hobby of collecting. We can't focus on it alone. In the eyes of losing money!"

Uncle Fang slapped his thigh and said to Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen smiled and said nothing.

"Do you have any other arrangements these days?"

"There's no arrangement, why Fang Bo, what's the matter with you?"

"Oh? Nothing? Isn't it a few days before Christmas? The business in the store is not very busy during this time. I want to give you a few days off. If you have nothing to do, just talk to that Candy. Just have a good time, you young people need more time to get along with each other."

Fang Bo smiled and looked at Jin Muchen and said that the longer he got along, the more he felt that Jin Muchen had more appetite for him. He had no children and no children, so in his eyes, Jin Muchen naturally became his grandchild. , of course he wants his grandchildren to be happy.

Jin Muchen scratched his head, but didn't say much.

After breakfast, Jin Muchen went downstairs to find Candice. Anyway, the antique store was not too busy, and Uncle Fang also gave him a holiday.

When he came to Good Delicious Bakery, Candace had already changed his clothes and came downstairs. He was wearing a purple slim down jacket, white woolen hat, and jeans. He looked so refreshing.

"What's the plan for today?"

Candace opened the door and got into the car, Jin Muchen asked her with a smile, Candace shook his head.

"I don't have any plans. Aunt Mary has already prepared everything for Christmas. I can't help you? By the way, do you have any plans for today?"

"It really does!"

Jin Muchen started the car while talking, Candace asked after putting on his seat belt.

"What arrangement?"

"I want to buy two guns!"

"What? What did you buy a gun for?"

Candace was startled when he heard this, but soon returned to normal.

This is the United States, and it is also the East Coast where guns are flooded. One gun is not a big deal, and even two are very common.

Jin Muchen turned his head to look at Candace, and then said.

"After meeting those Japanese people in Washington two days ago, I have not been feeling very well, and you have heard what Chen Jianfeng said that day. They are all related to the Heisei Society. I am afraid they will not know when to look for them. Come and get revenge. And I'm in the antique business now, with a lot of cash flow, and I need a gun to protect myself."

When Jin Muchen said this, Candace didn't say much. In fact, she has experienced a lot of bad things recently. Even at this time, she was wondering if she should buy a gun too. protect yourself.

"Then where do you want to buy it?"

"Well, go to Araki Town, I saw on the Internet yesterday that they have a gun shop there, and they are doing promotions for the past two days."

"Alright then, let's go to Araki Town."

Araki Town is located in New Jersey, but it is not very far from Flushing. It is a half-hour drive by car, which is even closer than the distance from Flushing to Manhattan.

This town is nominally part of New Jersey, but in fact it is almost a satellite city of New York.

Many white-collar workers who work in New York, but do not want to bear the high prices and high housing prices in New York, have settled their homes here and take the MRT to get off work every day.

The weather was very sunny that day, but because of the continuous heavy snow for several days, many roads were icy. Jin Muchen drove very slowly, and it took nearly an hour to drive the car to Araki Town.

The gun shop I saw on the Internet yesterday is located next to the exit of the expressway, next to a gas station and an auto repair shop.

The area of ​​this store is not particularly large, only about 200 square meters. The decoration inside the store is very new at that time. The top grade, but a variety of dazzling firearms.

Long, short, big and small, Jin Muchen was dazzled as soon as he entered the gun shop.

As a man who has come to a country where guns are banned, there are very few people who don't like to rob them. Before, Jin Muchen had heard of gun shops everywhere in the United States, but at that time, he never had time to visit.

Since his status as an international student, he has not been allowed to buy guns, and secondly, because he is shy. At that time, his parents depended on his parents to go to school and eat. How could he have the heart to spend his parents' money in this place?

The price of guns in the United States is really cheap, UU reading www. uukanshu.com But bullets are not cheap, not to mention that this thing is addictive as soon as you buy it. After buying a handful, it is difficult to control yourself.

Coupled with the occasional target practice, the cost will be huge.

Therefore, although Jin Muchen had always been interested in guns, he had never been to a gun shop.

"How's it going? What do you like, just pick?"

A middle-aged white man smiled and looked at the two of them and said, Jin Muchen and Candace nodded.

Soon Jin Muchen picked three guns, one M1911 with .45 caliber, the other a Glock, and an American M9, and Candace also picked a Smith & Wesson point. Thirty-eight caliber revolver.

"Can you try?"

"Am I taking you to the shooting range?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at the two of them with a smile and said, and then led the two of them into a door next to the counter, walked through a long corridor, and pushed the door out to a wasteland.

However, this piece of wasteland is surrounded by iron sheets, and it is about several acres in area. This is the shooting range of the gun shop. In the middle of the shooting range is a small hill, and under the hill are several targets.

This range looks more smuggled than what you see on TV, with no modern equipment, but that's what most American shooting ranges really look like.

On the contrary, the relatively modern shooting range with a target track that everyone sees in American movies and TV series is rare for many ordinary gun shops in the United States.
