This is the last Sunday in November, the day when Milan’s largest and most famous antique market, the Canal Antique Market, opens.
Every day on this day, tourists, antique dealers, art lovers, and countless collectors from all over the world will gather in this antique market to hunt for treasures and spend a leisurely weekend.
The reason why Ye Tian chose to come to Milan at this time was because he had calculated the time so as not to miss this once-a-month antique market.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the antique market had just started to open, and Ye Tian and the others appeared at the door of the antique market.
After getting off the bus, the group of them walked along the ancient streets along the canal, admiring the beautiful scenery, laughing and chatting, and followed the flow of people to the antique market.
As before, Cole and several other security personnel built a strong line of defense around Ye Tian and Betty to protect them.
A few meters behind, there were several Italian police officers in plainclothes and two cultural relics gendarmes.
These guys are always on high alert, keeping a close eye on Ye Tian and the others, as well as the people around them, ready to react at any time!
Among the crowd, there were several security personnel pretending to be tourists, secretly protecting Ye Tian and others from the outside.
In addition, on both sides of the Milan canal, there is a sniper hidden on the top floor of a historical building, monitoring the entire canal antique market from a high position.
It has been three days since arriving in Milan. Although nothing unexpected happened during this period, Ye Tian still dared not be careless or let down his guard!
Careful sailing! He firmly believes in these words left by his ancestors.
In Milan at the end of November, the weather is already very cold.
But at this time, the atmosphere of the Milan Canal Antique Market was extremely lively and bustling with people. As far as the eye could see, both sides of the canal were covered with black heads.
The Milan Canal Antique Market has hundreds or thousands of stalls. These antique stalls are lined up along the streets on both sides of the canal, stretching for nearly one or two kilometers.
In addition to the mobile stalls that gather on the last Sunday of each month, there are many antique shops and galleries of various sizes on the streets on both sides of the canal, and there are also many good things in them.
Although Ye Tian and the others arrived very early and in a hurry, when they arrived at the antique market, it was already very lively. Many antique dealers and tourists arrived early.
Walking to the entrance of this antique market, Ye Tian and the others did not immediately start searching for treasures to check out the goods on nearby stalls.
A few of them came to the nearest small bridge, stood in the middle of the bridge, and admired the beautiful scenery on both sides of the canal. They also took a look at the scale of this famous antique market.
“The Milan Canal was excavated at the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century. It is a very important waterway in Milan. The section of the river we are now on is said to have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci himself.
On both sides of the Milan canals, there are many Renaissance-style historical buildings, only a few of which actually come from the Renaissance, and most of the others were rebuilt later..."
As before, Ye Tian once again took on the role of interpreter, introducing to Betty and the others the history of the Milan Canal and the conditions of the buildings on both sides.
Of course, there’s also the history of Milan’s canal antique markets.
While explaining, he also secretly turned on perspective and began to explore the condition of the ancient canal under his feet to see what he could find.
As far as the eye could see, the clear river water was instantly seen through, and the situation at the bottom of the river was clearly visible, clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes.
It is a pity that although this canal has a long history and flows through the core of Milan's old town, it has been cleaned countless times in the past hundreds of years!
At the bottom of the canal, Ye Tian made no surprising discoveries. The only discoveries he made were things that had been thrown into the river in recent decades and were of little value at all.
The same goes for the embankments on both sides of the canal. Although they still maintain their original appearance, they have been renovated in modern times and nothing has been discovered.
After quickly looking through this section of the canal, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective.
Next, they admired the scenery on both sides of the canal for a while, then walked off the small bridge and officially began to sweep this famous antique market.
The moment they walked off the bridge, among the crowd on the other side of the river, Ye Tian saw a very familiar figure, that boy Bowie.
At the same time, Bowie also looked here and nodded slightly to Ye Tian. His movements were very covert and fast, and no one noticed at all.
The two of them immediately separated from each other, and then they started to act separately.
While talking, Ye Tian and the others had walked to the first stall in this antique market, stopped and began to look at the goods on the stall.
What is sold at this stall are all second-hand luxury goods, mainly antique women's bags from luxury brands, and most of them are genuine.
There are women's bags from various luxury brands such as Hermès, LV, Chanel, GUCCI, PRADA, etc. The styles are relatively old and the maintenance conditions vary, some are good and some are bad.
As is the case with most antique markets, there are a lot of fakes here.
Among the many authentic women's bags at this stall, there are also some high-imitation fake women's bags mixed in. They are so perfectly made that it is difficult for ordinary people to tell the real ones from the fake ones!
In order to increase the confusion, some of the classic women's bags are specially aged, making them look like they have been used for a period of time!
Purchasing these expensive second-hand luxury women's bags also tests your eyesight. If you have poor eyesight, it is inevitable that you will be deceived.
In the Milan Canal Antique Market, there are many stalls selling second-hand luxury goods. It can be said that they are the most popular stalls. This is also a major feature of the Milan Canal Antique Market.
Many of the people who come to this antique market to hunt for treasures come here for these second-hand luxury goods. Among them are buyers from second-hand stores from all over the country, as well as tourists who like antiques or classic luxury goods.
Of course, there are also some tourists who like luxury goods but are short of money and cannot afford the high prices of the latest models. They can only come here to shop for treasures. Most of them are young women.
Ye Tian has no interest in these second-hand luxury women's bags, but Betty is very interested.
So, they stopped and looked at the goods on this stall.
Before them, there were already two girls in their twenties looking at the second-hand women's bags on the stall and discussing in low voices, excitedly.
Beside them, there was a boy standing next to them. They were both in their early twenties and looked a little green. He should have just left the university campus, or he was still a student.
The two young men and women are both from China. They speak smooth Mandarin and sound quite friendly.
And this is one of the reasons why Ye Tian stopped. After all, this is a foreign country, and it is a kind of fate to meet compatriots from China.
After standing in front of the stall, Betty immediately looked at the second-hand luxury bags.
Her focus is mainly on those classic women's bags, and she looks at them with admiration, without any strong desire to buy them.
Ye Tianze smiled and nodded at the two boys as a greeting.
Looking at the two guys again, their eyes were already shining with excitement and they were almost dancing.
The stall owner of this stall, several other nearby stall owners, and many tourists from all over the world also saw Ye Tian, and everyone looked here.
However, people's eyes are not the same.
The eyes of those stall owners were full of worry and even fear; the eyes of many tourists were full of curiosity, even expectation, and a bit of worry!
Obviously, these are all people who don’t mind the excitement and are waiting to see the excitement!
"Good morning, Ye Tian, we saw on the news before that you came to Milan. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's great!"
One of the boys said excitedly and extended his right hand to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian shook hands with this guy, then said with a smile:
"Good morning, buddy, I am Ye Tian. Nice to meet you. Where are you from? How long have you been in Italy? We are destined to meet you here.
This is the famous Milan Canal Antique Market. Since I came to Milan, I will not miss this antique market, so it is inevitable that we meet here."
"Hello, Ye Tian, we are also very happy to meet you. You are a legendary super person, and you are the kind who can do anything. Today we have met the true god!
A few of us are from Fudan University in Shanghai. We are currently studying for graduate studies and will graduate next summer. This time we took time to travel. We just arrived in Milan yesterday! "
Another boy chimed in, equally excited.
At this time, the two girls also put down the second-hand women's bags in their hands and looked at Ye Tian, their eyes shining with curiosity and even a bit of admiration.
Next, these guys introduced themselves. Ye Tian shook hands with each of them and introduced Betty.
After getting to know each other and chatting for a few words, one of the girls immediately said expectantly:
"Ye Tian, as we all know, you are the world's top antique art appraisal expert with extremely sharp vision. Can you help us take a look at these second-hand women's bags? Give us your opinion.
We are all students in school and don’t have much money in our pockets. We can’t afford the latest women’s bags, so we can only buy second-hand bags, but we can’t tell the authenticity from the fake ones, so we dare not buy them.”
After saying that, these guys stared at Ye Tian closely, expecting him to give an answer.
Ye Tian nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Well, respect is worse than obedience. Since we met here, we are destined to be together. What's more, you praise me so much. If I don't help you, it won't be justified!"
Hearing this, these guys immediately cheered.
"Great! Now you don’t have to worry about buying fakes"
