Time flies and it's the weekend again.

Saturday.

He Xu went to the laboratory.

Su Xing was busy in the studio for the whole morning and planned to go for a stroll in Panjiayuan in the afternoon.

Before leaving, she sent a message to Shen Bai on WeChat.

Is it okay to not wake up: "Boss Shen, are you busy recently?"

After a few minutes, Shen Bai replied to her message.

Mr. Shen, who collects antiques, said: "Not bad."

Mr. Shen, who collects antiques, asked: "Miss Su, what can I do for you?"

The two of them basically don't chat about nothing. They usually send messages to talk about something important. When they have nothing to do, the most they do is like each other's posts on WeChat Moments.

Is it okay to not wake up? "I'm going to Panjiayuan in a while, and I want to ask if you are there. If you are, I will come to your house to have a cup of tea."

Mr. Shen, who collects antiques, said: "It's a pity this time. I'm on a business trip and not in Beijing."

Is it okay to not wake up: "Is that so? Then when you come back and have time, we can get together again."

Mr. Shen, who collects antiques, said: "Okay, wait until I get back. You are always welcome to have tea with me."

Can I stay awake?: "(Expression: OK)"

The two didn't talk much and ended the conversation after a few words.

Su Xing put away his phone, put on a big backpack and went out.

This time she did not take the subway, but drove to Panjiayuan.

Although taking the subway is sometimes more convenient than driving in Beijing, she has not driven the Cayenne that He Xu gave her many times and is still in the novelty period.

Arriving at the parking lot near Panjiayuan, she parked her car, and went in for a walk with her big backpack on her back.

There are more people visiting Panjiayuan on weekends than on weekdays, and it has a more urban feel and is more down-to-earth than Liulichang.

Su Xing still prefers to hang out here.

There are also more young tourists coming on weekends, so she won’t stand out among the crowd.

She walked and stopped, carefully looking at the shops and stalls.

In addition to those selling antiques and replicas of antique crafts, many merchants and stall owners in Panjiayuan also sell collectible bracelets.

Recently, her master Li Weilong has become obsessed with bracelets.

Su Xing often saw his master posting his prepared skewers on his WeChat Moments.

So, when she came to the area selling collectible bracelets, she stopped and carefully looked for a suitable gift for her master.

The owners of each antique stall greeted customers warmly.

"Come on! Take a look and choose whatever you want. Our products are authentic and we won't let you down by making friends with us!"

"You have a good eye! This old-fashioned pearl that just arrived is very elegant and will definitely look great when worn!"

"This bunch of phoenix eye bodhi seeds are old seeds from Nepal, each one is carefully selected and it is hard to find them in the market!"

"This is the last piece of Hainan Huanghuali wood left. It has an excellent oiliness and density. If you miss it, there will be no next time!"

"Touch this agarwood. The fragrance is rich and not pungent. It is made from genuine Vietnamese Nha Trang materials. Fakes can't produce this level of fragrance!"

Su Xing complained in his heart: These bosses are really good at cheating!

People in the antique circle are bound to come into contact with some people who play with antiques. Recently, she borrowed two books on antiques from the library. After reading them, she dare not say that she is very proficient in them, but at least she has learned some tricks.

She tried hard to block out her boss's words and selected items based on what she learned from books and her own feelings.

The goods on one stall looked good, so she picked up a Vajra Bodhi string and examined it carefully.

The stall owner looked at Su Xing and said with a smile: "When playing with King Kong, you must pay attention to the pattern and shape of the pile. Miss, look at this string of honeycomb double dragons. The pattern is full and the patina is amazing when it is polished!"

Su Xing asked: "How much is this one?"

The stall owner held out a palm and said, "Not expensive, five thousand, guaranteed to be worth it!"

Su Xing smiled and bargained, "Five hundred."

The stall owner said, "Hey! Girl, how can you bargain like that! This is too much of a loss for me, no no! At least three thousand."

Su Xing said, "Boss, your honeycomb double dragon pattern diamond has full and clear patterns, and the pile shape is also regular, but the leather is just average, and each bead is only 8mm in diameter. It is a 108-piece tree ancestor of Genghong plum blossom honeycomb double dragon pattern small diamond bodhi seeds. Five hundred is really not a small amount."

The stall owner didn't expect that such a young girl could be so knowledgeable when talking about decorative bracelets.

He smiled and said, "Okay, five hundred is five hundred, let's just consider it as making friends. Miss, what else do you like? Just pick whatever you want. I'll give you a discount."

Su Xing saw that the goods on the stall were indeed good, so he picked out a few more strings.

The stall owner was so happy that his teeth were not visible on the screen. "Buy with confidence! If you are not satisfied, you can exchange it at any time. If it is broken, I will teach you how to repair it. The purpose of playing with antiques is to have fun!"

Su Xing smiled and said, "That's all. Boss, please give me a good price."

The two of them went back and forth for several rounds, and in the end Su Xing spent 5,600 yuan on this stall.

The stall owner carefully packed the ornamental bracelet that Su Xing bought and handed it to her. "I'm always here. If you need anything, you can come over anytime."

Su Xing nodded, "Okay, goodbye, boss."

After buying some collectible bracelets, she went to visit other areas.

She stopped when she came to a small shop.

She had been to this store before, and she remembered that the items sold there were very diverse. In addition to antiques and handicrafts, there were mostly nostalgic old items.

She had also bought a snuff bottle in this shop before.

At this time, the female owner of the store also saw Su Xing. She walked to the door and said to Su Xing with a smile: "Hey? I remember you. You have been to our store, right?"

Su Xing also laughed, "Boss, you have a really good memory."

The last time she came here was quite a while ago.

"Sister, you are very recognizable." The female boss smiled brightly, "Would you like to come in and take a look?"

This girl is prettier than many movie and TV stars, and her beauty isn’t the same old one. It’s hard not to remember her.

Su Xing smiled and replied, "Okay."

She stepped into the store.

"Girl, take a look at whatever you like. I'll give you a discount if you like it."

"Okay, let me take a look first."

The woman was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable following the customer, so she let the customer walk around at her own leisure.

Su Xing saw a very retro gramophone and thought it was quite interesting and would be nice to put in her office.

She asked, "Boss, can I touch this phonograph?"

The woman smiled and said, "Of course."

Seeing that the boss agreed to take the initiative, Su Xing took out a magnifying glass from his backpack and began to observe carefully.

As she watched, she gently touched the phonograph with her hand.

Then she felt that strange feeling again, but it was very weak.

It seems that this is also an old item, but it can't be too old.

Yes, it was not until 1877 that American inventor Thomas Edison successfully invented the world's first phonograph. No matter how old the phonographs that exist today are, they are only a hundred years old at most.

After Su Xing finished observing, he asked, "How much is this phonograph?"

The woman smiled and introduced, "Sister, you have a good eye. This is an antique solid wood floor-standing hand-cranked phonograph from around the 1930s. It is well preserved and has excellent sound quality. It is both practical and beautiful. If you really want it, just give me yuan."
