As soon as she entered the shop, Yang Jing felt a familiar feeling coming towards her.

Before coming to London, Yang Jing often felt this smell in the domestic antique market. Obviously, the owner of this shop in Alfie antique market is likely to be a fellow countryman from home.

Sure enough, when I pushed the door, I met the copper bell above the door. The bell made a crisp "jingling" sound, which immediately attracted the boss inside.

Yang Jing looked back at the copper bell hanging above the door and smiled.

In ancient China, it was exquisite to hang copper bells at the door. Ancient people hung copper bells above the door of their home. One was that visitors could ring the bell to inform the host that guests were coming. Another more important reason was that hanging copper bells at the door could stabilize the house.

In ancient Chinese geomantic omen, the bronze bell has the function of dispelling evil spirits, transforming evil spirits and protecting peace. Both the wind bell and the bronze bell have the effect of Attracting Wealth and transforming evil spirits. However, the wind bell and the five yellow evil spirits have the best effect. They also play a great role in dispelling evil spirits, subduing demons, protecting houses and blessing. The sound of the bronze bell and the bronze bell can reduce blessings and exorcise evil spirits.

Seeing Yang Jing looking back at the copper bell, the boss said with a smile: "little brother, do you like my bell?"

When Yang Jing heard the speech, she turned her head and shook her head with a smile. "The bronze bell hanging at the door can restrain the five yellow evils. The bronze wind bell should be hung at the gate and door where the five yellow evils fly. Because the five yellow evils belong to the earth, the bronze wind bell hanging belongs to the gold can vent the earth's atmosphere. The swing of the bell can strengthen the gold atmosphere and vibrate the gold atmosphere to vent the five yellow evils. This is the thing of your town, boss. I don't want to impress people."

Hearing Yang Jing's words, the shop owner brightened his eyes and said, "Yo, my little brother is still an expert."

Yang Jing waved her hand and said, "I'll make you laugh. Experts don't dare to say it. It's just that I heard my grandfather talk about this when I was a child, so I've always kept it in mind. Now I'm a little suspicious of showing off."

"Ha ha, little brother, what you said is wrong. If you didn't say this today, I really didn't know that there was such a saying to hang a copper bell at the door. I hung the bell at the door just to let someone tell me when someone came. How did I know there was such a deep truth here?"

After a pause, the Chinese boss in his fifties asked, "I don't know where my little brother is from in China? I'm from Chengde, Hebei Province. I've been in Britain for eight years."

Yang Jing said, "we're not far away. I'm from Tianqu, Shandong Province. We're half a fellow townsman with you in Hebei Province. My name is Yang Jing, Yang of poplar, Li Qingjing. I don't know what the boss calls me?"

The boss hurriedly said, "I'm really half a fellow countryman. My name is Huang Benchu. My little brother can call me Lao Huang."

It's not easy to meet a fellow countryman in Britain thousands of miles away from home. Boss Huang is obviously very happy. He sat down with Yang Jing and warmly made a pot of tea for Yang Jing.

Yang Jing is also idle. Coupled with the enthusiasm of boss Huang, Yang Jing is happy to chat with him.

"Xiao Yang, did you come to England to study or work?"

"I'm a student. I have a master's degree. I can get my graduation certificate by November."

Hearing Yang Jing's words, boss Huang said with envy: "it's better for you young people. If you can read more books, you can learn more. Unlike us, we have no books to read when we want to read. When we are old, we can only set up a stall to eat."

Lao Huang's words can also be understood by Yang Jing. Lao Huang should be several years older than Yang Jing's father. He is a person after 60. When they were reading, they just caught up with the buzzing era. They really wanted to read and had no place to read.

"Are you an immigrant?" Yang Jing asked.

"Well, I immigrated here. My son and daughter-in-law both work in the UK. My wife didn't get up early, and I didn't have anything to do at home alone, so I immigrated under the encouragement of my son. Hey... If I know that Britain is so difficult to mix, I'd rather stay at home and guard my small stall than live here!"

Lao Huang waved his hand in distress and said, "let's not mention these. When we mention this, we are full of bitterness. Xiao Yang, are you going to visit the market today or are you going to buy something? If you buy something, I'll give you a discount of eight here. It's rare to meet a decent fellow. I have to give you a discount today."

Yang Jing said with a smile, "thank you very much. I really want to buy something when I come here today."

Lao Huang pointed to the things in the shop and said, "then take a look at my things first. Although there are no old things with big doors, most of my things are real. You can choose at ease."

Yang Jing put down her tea cup, stood up and began to transfer in this shop.

Lao Huang's shop is not very large, about more than 30 square meters, but there is a staircase behind it. The second floor should also belong to Lao Huang.

Lao Huang's shop is mainly engaged in miscellaneous stationery. Bamboo, wood, teeth and horn carvings can be seen everywhere in the shop. There are also many inkstones, purple sand pots, pen washes, gourds, stationery walnuts and snuff pots on the Bogu shelf. In addition, there are many embroidery and jade articles.

Although the area of the shop is small, these things are placed very orderly. They look miscellaneous but not disorderly. Boss Huang's intentions can be seen everywhere.

Such shops are numerous in the domestic stationery market, which is why Yang Jing could feel a familiar smell as soon as she entered the door. If she didn't know that the shop was in London, Yang Jing really thought she had returned to the domestic stationery market.

But Yang Jing knows that he can't walk yet. Grandpa often walks around the stationery market with himself. This familiar atmosphere has long been deeply imprinted in his bones.

After soliciting the consent of boss Huang, Yang Jing started.

Yang Jing picked up a snuff bottle made of glass and looked at it carefully.

This snuff bottle is exquisitely made. It is also a typical painted snuff bottle. The external coating is also very good. You can see that it is an old object.

Sure enough, seeing Yang Jing looking at the snuff bottle, Lao Huang came up and said, "Xiao Yang, your eyesight is good. You like this snuff bottle at a glance. This snuff bottle is a work of Ji school, one of the four schools of painting pots during the Daoguang period. Although it is not from everyone, it is rare to keep it until now."

Yang Jing nodded and said, "yes, in those days, the internal painting pot formed four schools: Beijing, Hebei, Shandong and Guangdong. Among them, it looks like the snuff pot made by everyone of Beijing school. Now it's sold for more than one million National dollars. Although your pot is not made by four famous men of Beijing school, such as Ma Shaoxuan and ye zhongsan, it's also a rare boutique. Boss Huang, how much is this snuff pot?"
