The distance from the airport to Chang'an Antique City is not close. Chen Jing and Kong Xue arrived at the booked hotel near noon.

After the young couple checked in, put away their luggage and tidied up briefly, they went out to have lunch and try some authentic Chang'an cuisine.

Kong Xue is quite interested in this. She is a good cook and is naturally very interested in delicacies from all over the world.

Lunch was at a restaurant near the hotel. Kong Xue ordered a lot of famous Chang'an delicacies, such as gourd chicken, pot fish in milk soup, kapok shrimp balls, etc.

As for snacks such as Roujiamo, fried biangbiang noodles, and cold skin, I will try them later when I go out for fun.

After lunch, the young couple bought gifts such as tobacco, wine, and tea at a nearby shopping mall, and then headed to the antique city while casually chatting about the delicious food.

"Xiao Chen, which dish do you think is the best?" Kong Xue asked softly, holding Chen Jing's arm.

Chen Jing thought for a while and responded: "Gourd Chicken Bar, it tastes very good and has a long history."

Hearing this, Kong Xue smiled and said, "You, you have to pay attention to history when eating delicious food now. Occupational diseases are too serious."

The history of gourd chicken is indeed very long. It is said that this dish was invented during the Tang Dynasty. Because the chicken body is completely like a gourd, it was named gourd chicken by later generations.

After a pause, Kong Xue said again: "Then I will learn it when I go back and then cook it for you."

"OK."

The two chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived at Chang'an Antique City.

This place is not small. Even if it is not a weekend, it is always crowded with people. A large number of antique lovers and collectors are passing through, hoping to pick up missing items or buy their favorite items.

When Chen Jing saw this, he couldn't help but sigh. In terms of the scale of the antique market, there is indeed a gap between Changcheng Antique Shop and Chang'an Antique Shop.

But it doesn't matter. The scale can be developed slowly. As long as he can represent Changcheng Antique Shop and surpass Chang'an Antique Shop in terms of reputation, then other things will be relatively easy.

According to the address given by Zhao Zheng, Chen Jing and Kong Xue quickly found an antique shop called Yazangxuan. Compared with the street stalls on the street, there were not many people in this large regular shop.

This is a normal thing. This was also the case in Changcheng Antique Street in the past.

"What do you two want to see?" As soon as we walked in, a clerk came over and asked.

Chen Jing responded: "Is Boss Shao here?"

The clerk was slightly startled and asked: "Sir, do you have anything to do with our boss?"

"I..." Before Chen Jing could finish his words, he saw a middle-aged man in his fifties walking out of the back hall of the shop. He was not tall, quite fat, and had a big beer belly.

"Chen Jing?" The man glanced at Chen Jing and asked.

Chen Jing: "Yes, I am Chen Jing, and you are Uncle Shao, right? I called you before."

Shao De and Zhao were from the same era. They knew each other when they were young. Because they had similar interests and compatible personalities, they were very good friends. They even went to remote areas to collect antiques together.

This person is also a veteran of the Chang'an Antiques Shop. According to Zhao Zheng, his identification skills are better than his. He is probably close to catching up with Li Xun. His status in the Chang'an Antiques Shop is higher than that of Zhao Zheng in Changcheng Antiques.

The row should be high.

Chen Jing was unfamiliar with Chang'an, so it was a great thing to have such a senior to help him.

"Hahaha, sit down, sit down, I thought you would be there in the morning." After hearing Chen Jing's confirmation, Shao De immediately greeted the young couple to sit down with a smile on his face, and asked the clerk to make tea.

"I was delayed for a while during lunch, so I came here in the afternoon."

Shao De nodded and asked again: "Is Zhao Zheng okay? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Very good. Uncle Zhao also asked me to say hello to you on his behalf." Chen Jing responded and put the gift he was carrying on the tea table: "Uncle Shao, a few thoughts."

Shao De was slightly startled, and then said displeasedly: "What are you doing to meet outsiders like this? Your Uncle Zhao and I have been old friends for many years. You are his junior, and that is my junior. Take it back."

Chen Jing hurriedly said: "Uncle Shao, I'm not talking to you, but there are still many things I need your help with in the future. This can't be in vain, can it?"

"Besides, it's not a good thing. If you don't keep it, I won't be able to ask you for help later."

Shao De still refused a few more words, but finally accepted it, and then said: "No wonder Zhao Zheng admires you so much and says you have a bright future. It seems that is indeed the case."

Afterwards, after chatting for a while, Shao De took the initiative to ask about business: "Chen Jing, I heard from your Uncle Zhao, what kind of antique blind box store are you planning to open when you come to Chang'an this time?"

Chen Jing responded: "Yes, I have opened an antique blind box store in Changcheng Antique Street, and I plan to open a branch here."

"Oh?" Shao De really didn't understand this very well, so he asked, "How are the benefits?"

"Not bad, let me tell you in detail?" Chen Jing took a sip of tea, with an inexplicable smile on his handsome face.

Kong Xue, who was sitting next to him, blinked quietly when she heard this, and a similar smile appeared in her autumn eyes, but she guessed what her older boy was thinking.

Shao De was somewhat interested and said hello.

Afterwards, Chen Jing told Shaode in detail about the profits and prospects of the antique blind box store.

After two cups of tea.

There was a bit of surprise on Shao De's face: "Chen Jing, your blind box store sounds pretty good. No wonder you are thinking of opening a branch here in Chang'an."

Chen Jing smiled: "Since Uncle Shao also thinks it's good, are you interested in taking a share in the branch here?"

Pulling Shaode into the group was something Chen Jing had planned before he came.

Chang'an is not Changcheng. In Changcheng Antique Shop, Chen Jing's own connections are enough to meet the requirements for opening a blind box store, such as the source of goods and the appraisal certificate of genuine antiques.

But in Chang'an Antique Shop, he still needs to find a big boss here to solve these problems.

Shao De is undoubtedly an excellent candidate. He has been friends with Zhao Zheng for many years, and his character must be trustworthy. Besides, Chen Jing also asked him to invest in the branch here to bind his interests.

Of course, it is only the branch here that Shao De has invested in, not the blind box store company.

I just took the initiative to mention the income and prospects of the blind box store to Shaode in order to get the other party interested.

"This..." Shao De hesitated after hearing this and asked: "We are going to undergo rectification and reform soon. By then, this blind box store may not be qualified to open."
