Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 240 Information on the Exchange Meeting
"It looks like Christmas is coming soon." After leaving Heathrow Airport, the Christmas decorations on the roadside made Liang En realize that it was almost Christmas.

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

"That's right, Christmas is still a week away." Joan nodded and said. "So now is the time to get ready for Christmas, such as buying some ingredients for the Christmas feast."

"Actually, many of you now choose to hold Christmas banquets in restaurants." Liang En said in a low voice, "Because everyone is very busy, they don't have much time to cook Christmas dinner at home."

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

Soon, the two of them came to the apartment that Liang En was renting. After putting down their luggage, they went to the store outside to buy all kinds of supplies needed by Joan of Arc.

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

Therefore, now it is only necessary to tidy up the room that Liang En and Fan Meng used as a storage room before, and then she can easily vacate her residence in London for Joan of Arc.

Fan Meng is not in London now, because it happens to be 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 holiday every year. Everyone can relax with an extra labor force .

In addition to Chinese food, both Japanese and Indian restaurants will be very busy during the Christmas holidays.After all, neither Chinese, Japanese nor Indians celebrate Christmas, so we can just provide catering services for everyone.

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

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

"But now it feels like Christmas has become a purely commercial festival. There are many more festive items than before, but the overall lack of the original Christmas festive atmosphere."

"This should be the bad side of the progress of the times." After hearing what Joan of Arc said, Liang En thought of the Spring Festival in China.Like Christmas, Spring Festival feels much less old-fashioned than in the past.

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

Fortunately, because Liang En and Fan Meng had not lived here for a long time, there were not too many things piled up in that house, and it was naturally much easier to clean up.

However, because they haven't lived for a long time, there is a lot of dust and even some cobwebs in the room, so they have to spend a lot of time and energy on cleaning the room.

For the whole second day, Liang En and Joan of Arc stayed in the room and had a good rest.In any case, they had been running outside for half a month before, so they urgently needed to take a good rest for a while.

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 day and was going to rest the next day, a phone call from Pierce picked him up from the bed.

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

"I'm sorry to bother you, but this matter is really important now." Pierce's voice came from the phone. "I just want to ask, do you plan to participate in the Christmas antique exchange meeting this year?"

"Antique exchange meeting, what's that?" Liang En immediately sat up after hearing what Pierce said, and then asked while leaning against the bedside baffle while holding the microphone. "Why haven't I heard of this exchange meeting before?"

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

"So this year, after you become a shareholder of our emerald thrift store this year, you will be able to receive the invitation from the organizer of this exchange meeting and participate in this gathering."

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

Because according to the information he heard from others before, this kind of internal communication will often find a lot of interesting things, even some very precious items.

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

In addition to various antiques and second-hand goods, this exchange will also exchange a series of second-hand tools related to treasure hunting and store management.For a small businessman like Pierce, most of the time, participating in the exchange meeting is mainly to pick up second-hand goods.

To give the simplest example, the van in Pierce's store was bought by his father at this exchange meeting five or six years ago, and the price is only a little more than [-]% compared with the second-hand car store outside.

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

"If this is the case, you'd better pay attention in the next two days, I think they will send you an invitation soon." After hearing Liang En say that he was going, Pierce reminded him of the precautions for participating in the exchange meeting.

"Every year, this exchange meeting is held two days before Christmas. When you participate in the exchange meeting, you can bring 1 or 2 relatives or friends, but the people you bring are not eligible to buy any items."

The reason for such a 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 alone, so being able to take her for a stroll and exchange meeting may alleviate her homesickness on this day when the family should be reunited Feelings.

Because Pierce's phone call was a bit long, Liang En felt that his original drowsiness had disappeared.So he simply got up to wash up, and then had breakfast with Joan who had just finished cooking.

Although Jeanne'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 not a big problem.

For example, today's breakfast is very good, at least there are no major flaws in terms of heat or anything, and the taste is no worse than that made by ordinary street shops.
