Coming out of the Qianmen Yueshengzhai Main Store, Ye Tian and the others walked into Donglaishun Restaurant not far away, where they went to have lunch and enjoy the most authentic old Beijing mutton shabu.

While feasting, everyone is also discussing where to go next, and there is still half a day to take a good stroll.

The result of the discussion is to go to Liulichang Ancient Culture Street, which is not far from here.

There are usually too many tourists in Liulichang, and there are many vendors from all over the country, and the dragons and snakes are mixed, and the mother is not willing to join in the excitement, and they can't go a few times a year.

Even if they go to Liulichang, they only go to those more famous bookstores, and rarely go to other places.

Now that many people have gone home for the New Year, the streets of Liulichang must be relatively clean, and you can go there for a walk.

If you come across a favorite New Year's goods, you can also buy some to take home to decorate the environment of your home and make this Spring Festival more flavorful.

After enjoying the old Beijing mutton shabu, Ye Tian and the others left the front door and drove straight to the Liuli Factory.

In less than ten minutes, the two cars arrived at the intersection of Liulichang Ancient Culture Street, located on both sides of Nanxinhua Street, Xicheng District.

They were joined by several plainclothes police officers from the city bureau.

These plainclothes followed closely behind them, not daring to let Ye Tian out of sight at all, otherwise no one knew what would happen.

Even if it is closely tracked, this product can be seen and stabbed out of a mess like the night before yesterday, who would dare to let this product go out of sight? Unless you don't want to wear this official uniform!

For this kind of personal tracking, Ye Tian and Betty have long been accustomed to it and don't care at all.

Mom and Linlin were naturally very surprised and a little nervous at first, but after Ye Tian's explanation, as time went on, they slowly got used to the existence of these plainclothes policemen.

Everything was as Ye Tian expected, the New Year was approaching, and the glaze factory became a lot more deserted.

The tourists on the street are no longer as good as usual, black seedlings and black seedlings, the field of vision is full of black heads, and less than half of the shops are still open, and many have closed their doors and gone home for the New Year!

The kind of baggage that fights guerrilla warfare with the chengguan and the police is even rarer, and they are not found at the east and west entrances.

Although the flow of people is much less than usual, the smell of the New Year here is very strong.

The streets are covered with red lanterns, every shop is decorated with brand-new couplets, and the windows are adorned with beautiful curtains, and everyone is beaming and smiling, both in store and in tourist.

All of this comes together to create a thriving Chinese New Year that fills the whole street with the flavor of the New Year.

Since many shops are closed, parking spaces here are not as tight as they are on weekdays, and there happen to be a few empty spaces at the entrance.

Ye Tian and the others parked the car at the entrance, then got out of the car and started to walk from Liulichang East Street.

Walking in the front are Ye Tian and Betty, as well as Mom and Linlin.

Raymond and Walker followed behind, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the street, while also paying attention to the surrounding situation and protecting Ye Tian's safety.

Further back, there were several plainclothes policemen from the city bureau, who were staring at Ye Tian while also acting as his free bodyguards.

It's a little regrettable that the expressions of these plainclothes are not very good-looking.

In the process of visiting this famous and distinctive ancient culture street, Ye Tian became everyone's tour guide and commentator, and gave everyone the most professional explanation.

Because he had to take care of Betty, as well as Raymond and Walker, who followed behind, Ye Tian's language to explain was naturally English.

Fortunately, my mother and Linlin's English skills are very good, there is no language barrier, and I can fully understand his explanation.

Liulichang Street is a famous ancient cultural street in Beijing, which originated in the Qing Dynasty, and was originally inhabited in this area, and people from all over the country came to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination.

Because of the arrival of these moves, a large number of shops selling books and pen, ink, paper and inkstones quickly gathered in the vicinity, forming a strong cultural atmosphere and passing it down.

The reason why it is called Liulichang is because the Yuan Dynasty opened an official kiln here, specializing in firing glazed tiles, and when the Ming Dynasty expanded the inner city, the scale of the official kiln was expanded.

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, after the construction of the outer city, it became an urban area, and the official kiln was immediately moved to Liuliqu Village in Mentougou District, but the name of Liulichang was retained.

Liulichang is 800 meters long from east to west, is a cultural street market with a gathering of humanities, the street is full of shops dealing in pen, ink, paper, inkstone, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, many of which are time-honored brands that have been inherited for a hundred years"

While listening to Ye Tian's explanation, everyone strolled forward, admiring the distinctive traditional Chinese buildings on both sides of the street, and feeling the atmosphere of traditional culture.

Betty, in particular, was running out of eyes, and kept turning her head to enjoy the beauty of the street, her face full of excitement, and her exclamations never stopped.

"Wow! This building is so beautiful, antique, very old, it looks like a palace, just like those beautiful palaces in the Forbidden City.

It's a pity that this shop is closed, so we can't go inside and see it! It must be even more beautiful inside! Steven, what's the business here? Do you know?"

Betty pointed to an antique two-story building in front of her and said in amazement.

Ye Tian looked at the small building, and then explained with a chuckle:

"That's right! This is a traditional building with a history of more than 100 years, which is indeed very beautiful, and the 'Jigu Pavilion' located in this building is even more famous and famous at home and abroad.

'Ji Gu Pavilion' is an old shop with a long history, specializing in copying and repairing cultural relics and antiques, and has a very high level in the restoration of antique cultural relics, bronzes, calligraphy and paintings, and the effect is very realistic!"

Leaving the 'Jigu Pavilion', everyone continued to stroll forward, entering and exiting the antique buildings, famous old shops, and walking on the streets full of red lanterns, feeling the strong traditional cultural atmosphere.

In the process, everyone has also gained something.

My mother bought a purple clay pot with a handle in the original art museum, ready to give it to my grandfather as a gift for the New Year.

Although this purple sand pot is not an antique, the materials and quality are quite exquisite, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite, which is the most traditional Yixing purple sand craft, which comes from the hands of modern masters.

Under the perspective, the intrinsic quality of this handle purple clay pot was extremely clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes, and it was with his nod and approval that his mother decided to take this purple clay pot.

Of course, such a high-quality handle purple clay pot must be expensive.

After some bargaining, the owner of the original art gallery took 80,000 yuan from Ye Tianka, smiling like a spring breeze, but he was unceremonious!

For Ye Tian, this price is not even a dime, as long as the hometown likes it, it is worth spending as much as you want!

Betty also gained something, she took a fancy to a folding fan in Guyizhai and took it without hesitation.

This is a perfect combination of ancient and modern folding fan, the fan bone is from the modern Xiangfei bamboo, and the fan surface is from the hand of a well-known literati in the late Qing Dynasty.

On the upper side of the fan is a traditional theme of 'Butterfly Love Flower' Gongbi painting, the painting technique is quite clever, meticulous and very beautiful, which instantly attracted Betty's attention and made her reluctant to leave.

On the other side is a corresponding Song poem, the famous lyricist Su Shi's "Butterfly Love Flowers, Spring Scene", handwritten by the late Qing literati, the calligraphy is delicate and timeless, which is very consistent with this noun!

"The flowers fade and the red green apricots are small. When the swallows fly, the green water surrounds. There are few willows blowing on the branches, and there is no fragrant grass at the end of the world!

Swing inside the wall, outside the wall. Pedestrians outside the wall, beautiful people laugh inside the wall. The laughter gradually faded into silence, but the amorous but ruthlessly annoyed"

Of course, Betty does not understand Chinese, let alone the meaning of this song and its beauty and movingness.

But after Ye Tian's whispered explanation, she immediately immersed herself in the wonderful artistic conception portrayed in this song poem, extremely intoxicated, and couldn't extricate herself for a long time.

After understanding this song lyrics, she loved this folding fan even more to the bones!

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian would hesitate.

He directly took out his bank card and handed it to the clerk of Guyizhai, and only said one word to the smiling beautiful clerk.

"Buy!"

The 38,000 yuan was swept away in an instant, and the folding fan also changed its owner and became Betty's beloved.

As before, Ye Tian knew the price of this folding fan.

Although the transaction price is a bit high, it is not too outrageous, within a reasonable range, as long as Betty likes it, it is not expensive!

Of course, walking out of the gate of the ancient art house, Betty's behavior of opening the folding fan and shaking it gently in the cold wind was a bit out of place, attracting countless surprised glances and a good-natured laughter.

Continuing to walk forward, they soon entered a shop that sold ceramic crafts, which displayed both antique ceramics and high-quality imitation porcelain, as well as ceramic crafts.

In this shop, Linlin received a set of colored porcelain zodiac dolls, which are modern creative ceramics, made by a contemporary young ceramic artist!

The price of this set of colored porcelain dolls is not expensive, only 3200 yuan, but Linlin likes it very much and can't put it down, so Ye Tian naturally swiped the card happily and won it.

Ye Tian also has his own gains, he received a set of top lake pens in Dai Yuexuan, which is from the founder of Dai Yuexuan and the famous pen maker Dai Bin, which is very rare!

The price of such a set of top-level lake pens is naturally quite expensive.

Soon, Ye Tian had another 150,000 yuan less on his bank card, but he had an extra set of top-grade lake pens in his hand.

He is going to give this set of top-level lake pens to his grandfather, and only this top-level lake pen is worthy of the national treasure-level inkstone and Jiajing tribute ink.

Go back and have a few more knives for thousands of years of ancient Xuan, then you will live!

At that time, even today's top calligraphers will have to shudder when they see their grandfather's four treasures in the study, and their eyes will be red with envy!

Leaving Dai Yuexuan, Ye Tian and the others continued to stroll forward, tasting the charm of traditional culture everywhere on this street, and feeling the strong flavor of the New Year in the air.

As everyone knows, the news that their group of people swept the goods one after another on Liulichang East Street has spread quickly, attracting a lot of attention.

Among them, there are also some ill-intentioned guys!

Now that the end of the year is approaching, tourists are scarce, and many people are returning their funds, and there are not many people buying antique art at this time.

In addition, Ye Tian made a clean move and didn't care much about the price, which attracted people's attention even more!

Even in the eyes of some people, he has been regarded as a mallet, and he is sharpening his knife!
