You were the one who made it yourself? Zhuang Liu was very happy. No wonder its so delicious.

Third Brother, your words are sweeter than candy. Tan Rou laughed.

Before the charming atmosphere could be created, the waiter came over again. She came over to serve the dishes.

Zhuang Liu felt that it was a pity. He wanted to talk to Tan Rou more, but now he could only eat first.

The couples set meal lived up to its name. All of the dishes were curated with the theme of celebrating love. Ice cream sprinkled with rose petals and a swan-shaped fruit plate which looked exquisite. Moreover, the taste of the dishes there were great. It was not the kind of thing that only looked good but did not taste good.

After the meal, Tan Rou felt a little stuffed. She wanted to walk around to digest her food but she was afraid that it would affect Zhuang Lius work.

Zhuang Liu had the same thought as her. He asked Tan Rou, Do you want to walk around?

..

Sure, but I wonder if theres anything fun nearby? Tan Rou agreed.

Theres an antique market nearby. Zhuang Liu said, I have a friend who runs an antique shop there. There are a lot of things there. Some are real and some are fake. How about we take a walk there to see if we can find anything interesting there?

Antiques? Tan Rou thought about it. Her fathers birthday was coming up, and he liked collecting artworks. It would be nice if she could find a real one as a birthday present for him.

Yes. Ill take you to a few shops. They have a lot of authentic goods. See if theres anything you like. Zhuang Liu said.

Tan Rou pushed his wheelchair. Lets go then.

Xiao Mo drove them to the antique store. As there were many people here, Xiao Mo didnt leave. He was afraid that Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou would get into an accident.

Zhuang Liu brought Tan Rou to a shop that sold ancient coins. There were all kinds of ancient coins from the Warring States Period to the Republic of China, but there were also some that were fake.

In addition to ancient coins, there were other antiques. In the middle of the shop was a bra.s.s statue of Guan Gong. It said that it was 500 years old, but in fact, it had just been fished out of the furnace 50 days ago.

Tan Rou was not interested. She asked Zhuang Liu, Do you sell calligraphy and paintings?

Yes. Zhuang Liu immediately brought Tan Rou to the next shop.

This shop mainly sold paintings and calligraphy. Ordinary paintings were hung outside, while the more precious paintings were hidden in gla.s.s cabinets.

Third Young Master, you havent been here for a while. The boss beamed. Take a look. Do you see anything that you like?

Zhuang Liu wasnt interested in the artworks. He gestured to Tan Rou. 1 brought a friend here today. If you have anything nice, please bring it out for her.

Since Zhuang Liu said so, they must have the intention to buy. Therefore, the boss asked his a.s.sistant to take out the paintings that were hidden behind.

Tan Rou opened it and took a look at it. These were just normal paintings that were about a century old but most of them were from artists that were not famous and their skills were amateur as well. It was far from being comparable to the paintings in her familys calligraphy.

She carefully rolled up the painting. 111 just take a look at them.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a very long landscape painting hanging on the side of the wall. The paper was very new, and it was not as old as the previous ones.

Oh, I see that you may be interested in this. The boss sounded a little regretful. This painting is a very long piece but its a pity that the painting isnt that old. Moreover, the artist didnt sign it, so its a wild work. More importantly, the artists skills arent exquisite enough. There are some parts of it that arent smooth enough.

Tan Rou touched it with her hand. She deliberately kept the secret to herself. She then said, Although this painting isnt perfect, it is expensive because it is large. It will be very prestigious to just have it placed inside the house.

The boss laughed when he heard that. He thought that Third Young Master Zhuang had brought some powerful person over, but it turned out to be a little girl who didnt know anything. A large painting was indeed valuable, but the premise was that it had to be the work of a great artist. If all the large paintings were valuable, then he could also draw a few meters long painting and sell it.

I bought this painting for two thousand yuan. The boss said, For Third Young Masters sake, 111 give you 2500.

Three thousand, keep the change. Tan Rou took out her phone. Where can I scan the code?

This painting had been in the owners hands for a long time. He didnt expect that it would be sold. Therefore, he would just take the opportunity to make more money out of it and he accepted the money readily.

After paying, Tan Rou asked, Do you have any tools for dismantling the painting?

Yes. The boss said yes. This was an antique shop that sold paintings and they usually repaired paintings, so they had a very complete set of tools to dismantle paintings. The boss didnt know what this girl wanted to do, but it had nothing to do with him. Anyway, the deal was already sealed..
