    Just like before, with his photographic memory and super control, Chu Chen seemed to be very skilled at blowing a puppy, which made the uncle who played the candy blower think that Chu Chen had learned it.  It had been a long time, and he was a master. If Chu Chen hadn't walked so fast, he would have wanted to exchange his experiences with Chu Chen.  Looking at the two puppies with different styles in her hands, Chu Yulan smiled happily, but after walking for a while and seeing someone performing, she was immediately attracted again.  After watching the performance, Chu Chen bought two bunches of candied haws on a stick and handed one to Chu Yulan. Chu Yulan took the candied haws and took a bite. She felt that it was sour and sweet, which suited her taste, and she was very happy to eat.  Chu Chen asked while eating: "Xiaolan, haven't you ever been to the temple fair before?" "Very few times!" Chu Yulan shook her head: "Brother, you also know that I was not in good health before.  , especially in winter and spring, we are most likely to get sick, so my mother was rarely willing to take me to places like temple fairs. Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I would not have many opportunities to visit temple fairs in this life."  Only then did I understand why Chu Yulan had been very curious all the way. Fortunately, her sister is now in good health. Otherwise, it would be difficult to appreciate the characteristics of the Spring Festival in the capital, which would be a real pity.  People who go to the temple fair do not go to the temple fair for food, but after wandering around for a long time, they must be hungry and tired.  So when I saw all kinds of delicious food on the roadside, I couldn't help but have an appetite.  Therefore, the food stalls at the temple fair were naturally packed.  There are no big restaurants at temple fairs. They are usually floating stalls, and some have tents.  The fonts were displayed, and tables and benches were placed inside; some just put their burdens or wheelbarrows to the temple fair and stopped.  Let everyone surround you and eat while standing.  Chu Yulan couldn¡¯t stop eating delicious snacks such as bean juice, burnt rings, pea yellow, donkey rolling, ai wowo, and the indispensable big bunch of candied haws. Every family ate them, tasting the sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy flavors. It was really an endless aftertaste.  And they ate so much that they even skipped lunch.  The Changdian Temple Fair is located in Liulichang.  During temple fairs, many antiques, calligraphy and painting, and bookstores in the capital will set up stalls here.  From the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the long east-west Liulichang Street is crowded with tourists. You can see stalls lined up one after another, one after another, as far as the eye can see. The antiques on them are dazzling.  In the morning, we looked at the objects of folk culture.  In the afternoon, the brother and sister planned to go to Liulichang to look at antiques. Maybe they would find something good, which would be considered good luck in the New Year.  Things at temple fairs are generally cheap and affordable, so even though there are many antiques on the Liulichang stalls, there are very few that are really good.  Generally, they are mainly modern handicrafts. In this case, it will definitely be very difficult to pick up the leaks.  However, the period was not fruitless. Chu Yulan bought a rock sugar agate hairpin.  Rock sugar agate is actually not a type of agate in the strict sense.  This is a name for what the industry calls high-permeability, rock-sugar-like agate.  To put it bluntly, it is actually a better white agate.  The rock sugar agate hairpin that Chu Yulan bought was made from well-selected materials and was extremely transparent.  The standard is the Ming Dynasty style, which is finely polished and made in one go. This is what is called "a puddle of water".  It feels like Du's poem "A bowl of ice syrup, green agate is cold".  And it only costs two thousand yuan, which is a small bargain.  Although Chu Yulan was very interested in everything at the temple fair, she just looked at most of them without buying them. When the two of them were about to reach the end of the street, they only carried a few small items in their hands.  .  Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Chen suggested going home. Chu Yulan nodded, but when she turned her head, she happened to see something on a stall not far away. She immediately became interested, and then pointed to the stall.  Said: "Brother, let's go there and have a look" The small stall Chu Yulan pointed to is already on the corner of the alley. The location is not good. The stall owner is a young man in his twenties, and his things are very casual.  Place it on an old sheet.  Chu Chen had a good eye and saw that most of them should be pottery and some porcelain. Basically, they were bowls and plates.  After getting closer, Chu Chen discovered that the pottery on the stall was basically from the Han Dynasty. There were pots, statues, basins, jars and other utensils, as well as many pottery animals. The one Chu Yulan was interested in was a pottery animal.  dog.  This pottery dog ??is made of red pottery with lead-green glaze. The glaze color is uneven, and part of the glaze on the bottom of its four legs has fallen off.  Its head is held high, its tail is raised, and its ears are raised.  Both eyes are staring forward, with a calm expression. There is a collar around the neck and a ring on the back of the neck for a leash, which shows that it is a domesticated dog.  The shape is realistic and dynamic.  Chu Yulan is a dog, and she has been fond of puppies since she was a child. However, she is not in good health and her family is not allowed to keep dogs, so she usually buys some toys of this kind.  "Brother, how is this pottery dog?" Chu Yulan turned around and asked.    "Well, not bad!" In the glazed pottery of the Eastern Han Dynasty, dog images are very common, and their artistic value is very high. Although part of the glaze of this pottery dog ??has fallen off, it can still be regarded as one of the glazed pottery of the Han Dynasty.  A good piece of work.  "You are so young, how can you still tell the quality of things?" The young man suddenly spoke, and his eyes were full of disbelief.  The stall owner's behavior made Chu Chen very strange, because it was taboo for the young man to say this in the antiques industry. Let alone the antiques industry, it is impossible to say that customers say good things when doing business, so the boss was suspicious.  attitude, unless this person does not intend to do business, otherwise this situation is basically impossible to happen.  Just as Chu Chen was thinking about what was going on with this young man, Chu Yulan jumped out and said angrily: "What's going on with you? Young people can't see the quality of things? You know my brother is  Who? He is" "Xiaolan!" Chu Chen quickly stopped his sister. If he didn't interrupt, he would have revealed his identity, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.  The young man looked at the Chu Chen brothers and sisters, then rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't care who your brother is, you can take a look if you want, but these are all genuine and the price is not cheap.  " Chu Chen secretly shook his head when he heard this. Most of the things here are indeed genuine, but the value is not cheap. You know, most of the things here are pottery from the Han Dynasty, and some of them are ordinary plain wares.  Most of them can be bought in the market for only a few dozen yuan, so why are they so expensive?  However, Chu Chen was a little surprised. This person didn't look like an expert. Where did he get so many authentic Han pottery, and these pottery seemed to be handed down from ancient times, so he asked: "  Boss, I'd like to ask, how did you get so many pottery?" "I didn't get it by robbing tombs!" The young man misunderstood Chu Chen's meaning and quickly explained, "These things are not mine."  They all belong to my uncle. He was also quite famous in the antique shop in Beijing. However, he passed away in an accident some time ago. Since no one in his family liked this thing, my aunt gave it to me. " Chu Chen ordered.  He nodded, and then said to Chu Yulan: "Xiaolan, there are some things here that are okay. If you like it, just choose a few more." "Okay, brother, I will choose a few more!" Chu Yulan agreed with a smile.  She lowered her head and started looking for it, but she was not interested in pottery pots or anything else, her attention was always on the pottery figurines.  During this period, Chu Chen also lowered his head and took a look, but he was not very interested in the pottery here. He focused on the dozen or so pieces of porcelain next to him.  These dozen or so pieces of porcelain are all white and black, and they appear to be products from private kilns. There are also a few pieces of porcelain that are stained with dirt, looking gray and inconspicuous.  Because there were many antique stalls at the temple fair, and many of them were modern handicrafts, Chu Chen was too lazy to look at them. However, he didn¡¯t want to miss the treasure because of this, so he opened the treasure house. What he didn¡¯t expect now was  , among those pieces of gray porcelain, there is actually a treasure.  So Chu Chen directly used the Lingbao Eye on it. This sight made him feel a little frightened. He really didn't expect that he would meet such a treasure today.  Although there was an urge in his heart to take the thing in his hands and appreciate it, Chu Chen suppressed this emotion and turned his attention to his sister.  He definitely wanted to take that thing off, but the young man didn't seem to be someone to be fooled, so he planned to be careful first.  "Okay, brother, look at these two things I chose!" Chu Yulan stood up, stretched out her hand, and handed the things to Chu Chen.  Chu Yulan chose a pottery figurine and a pottery monkey. Both items are remarkable, especially the pottery monkey. It is indeed a good thing.  The Han Dynasty had the most pottery. Common pottery such as bottles and jars, which are commonly used at home, are basically not wanted. Large and good ones don¡¯t sell for more than ten or eight yuan.  The market for figurines (pottery figures) is slightly better, but they are not as valuable as animals such as dogs, pigs, sheep, etc. However, pottery monkeys are very rare. Chu Chen has only seen them once in the ghost market in so many years.  It is reasonable to expect that one nest of pottery monkeys from the Han Dynasty would be unearthed each time, at least seven or so.  Just like the time Chu Chen met, a total of nine pottery monkeys were bought back by an old player.  Although Chu Chen also wanted to buy it at that time, he was half a beat slower than others. In addition, nine pottery monkeys cost 12,000. This price was considered a bargain in the market, but Chu Chen at that time  Chen really couldn't afford that much money at the moment, so even if he was quick, he wouldn't be able to buy it.    Since then, Tao Ren, Tao Gou, and Tao Ma Chuchen have met a lot, but Tao Hou has never met him again before this, which is a pity
