Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 310 Jade Shop

   After coming out of the restaurant, Yang Chen lowered the peaked cap on his head by another point.

   When he saw the restaurant owner's daughter just now, his eyes have been focused on him, obviously doubting his identity.

   Fortunately, Wu Yaoxin was in charge when checking out, and he didn't need to come forward, otherwise the girl would definitely recognize him.

   "Chen, where are we going next?"

   After leaving the Sichuan restaurant, Laura's state recovered.

   The little tongue licks the lips from time to time, and the bright red mouth is hot and red, which is very attractive.

   "Continue to look ahead." Seeing that there were still many people hanging out on the street, Yang Chen didn't plan to go back after dinner.

   Hearing that Yang Chen was going to continue shopping, Laura wrapped her hands again, and her body pressed against Yang Chen.

  With the previous experience, Laura is not twitching this time.

  The two of them walked along the streets of Tangren so slowly, wandering aimlessly.

   This kind of atmosphere is quite good, and you don’t have to worry about being recognized on the road.

   At this time, Yang Chen finally understood why many stars in later generations always like to go abroad and travel abroad.

   As long as you pay attention outside, you will basically not be recognized, and you can play as you want.

   In China, people who are a little famous, even if they are fully armed, will be recognized at a glance.

   followed by a siege, shooting in various ways and from various angles.

   After strolling around, Yang Chen didn't feel anything new about Chinatown, because he found that this place is completely a miniature version of Xiangjiang.

  There are things in Xiangjiang, there are also things here, and there are things in Xiangjiang that are not available here.

   Of course, this also has a lot to do with men's dislike of shopping. After a walk around, I want to see and understand everything I want to see. After I understand it, I naturally have no interest.

   On the contrary, it was Laura next to him. Although he came here a lot, it seemed that she was far from enough.

   Looking around, Yang Chen just wanted to find a place to rest.

   "Huh" Seeing a plaque, Yang Chen couldn't help but light up, and finally found a place that interested him.

  Yang Chen patted Laura's arm, pointed to the shop, and said, "Let's go over there to see."

  Laura looked in the direction Yang Chen pointed, and saw the three words "Jade Shop" vaguely written on the door plate where the lights were on at the corner of the street.

   Without asking any more questions, Laura nodded, followed in Yang Chen's footsteps, and walked towards the relatively deserted jade shop.

   When they arrived at the door, the two discovered that the store covers a large area. Although the location is not very good, it is just right to open a jade shop.

   pushed open the glass door, entered the store, and saw a man in his 40s or 50s who looked like an old master was studying a stone in front of the counter.

   Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, the old master moved his ears, then turned off the flashlight in his hand, and looked up at Yang Chen and Laura who came in.

   Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.

  Compared with antiques and gold, we Chinese also have a special hobby, that is, collecting jade.

  For jade, not only Chinese people like it, but foreigners also like it very much.

   Yang Chenjin's jade shop has been in Chinatown for some years. Many Chinese who like jade will visit this shop.

  Every weekend or holiday, many stone gambling enthusiasts also come here.

   When opening a jade shop, the rough stone is also indispensable. Every weekend, the jade shop will take a part of the rough stone that comes in and sell it.

   is to win or lose, it all depends on personal luck.

   Just when the old master was about to come forward to greet Yang Chen and the two of them, a group of soldiers also pushed the door and entered.

   Watching a group of five and three thick people pour in, although all of them are Chinese faces, the old master can't help frowning.

   thought to himself: 'Isn't it here to look for trouble? ’

   Those who can open a jade shop are naturally not ordinary people. The old master just frowned, but he did not show any timidity.

   Seeing Junzi and the others coming in, Yang Chen silently rolled his eyes and waved his hands, indicating that they were okay to go out and wait.

   Junzi and Tietou saw this and retreated again.

   Seeing this, the old master raised the glasses on the bridge of his nose, took a serious look at Yang Chen, and then turned his eyes to Laura who was holding Yang Chen's arm.

   It was just a glance, and the old master put his eyes on Yang Chen again.

   Seeing the two face each other, the old master couldn't figure out what the two of them came to his shop for.

   So, he asked, "Are you here to buy something? Or to find someone?"

  Yang Chen explained with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, old man, I was just passing by with my friends, and I came here happily."

   "So that's the case." The old master heard the words, nodded, and accepted Yang Chen's explanation.

  His jade shop has been open here for some years, and sometimes many tourists come here. No matter if what Yang Chen said is true or not, the old master didn't ask any more questions, and began to introduce Yang Chen and Laura.

   The master's surname is Tang, and he is famous for his art. At first glance, he thought it was a girl. Master Tang's carving skills were handed down from his ancestors, and he had eaten this bowl of rice since he was a child.

  In the jade industry, the craftsmanship of the sculptor is particularly important. One more point and one less point determines the value of this piece of jade.

  The jade ornaments sold in the store are all carved by Master Tang and his two apprentices.

  Master Tang is well-known in Chinatown for his superb craftsmanship, and other jade carvers in Paris are full of praise for him.

   Therefore, people often ask the master to help after getting a good jade stone.

   Yang Chen saw Laura beside him, stared at the jade jewelry on the counter with great interest, and asked with a smile, "Do you like it?"

  The carved jade in the cabinet is clearly marked with a price. Although Master Tang's shop is remote, the price of the jade inside is not less than five thousand US dollars.

   Now the exchange rate between Hong Kong dollar and US dollar is about 5:1. Five thousand US dollars is equivalent to 25,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to the annual income of ordinary people in Hong Kong for two years.

   Hearing Yang Chen asking if she liked anything, Laura blinked, finally hesitated, and shook her head firmly.

   If she just eats, she doesn't think there is anything, but although the things here are not outrageously expensive, they are not cheap either.

   She didn't want to give Yang Chen the impression that she approached him for money because of this.

   Seeing Laura shaking her head, Yang Chen didn't ask any further questions. It could be seen that this French beauty is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of petty things.

   With the salary level of Standard Chartered Bank, if the other party really likes it, bite the bullet and you can buy it yourself.

   The other party doesn't want it, it doesn't mean that Yang Chen really won't send it. Anyway, the other party picked up the plane in the middle of the night before, and now he is shopping with him.

   Since he, a big man, has asked the question, naturally he can't take it easy.
