Shanghai, the father and daughter of Shanghai, created the "fairy tale world" together, a dream for Yuan's father | Share before bedtime

Blew the ocean

Tens of thousands of Western antiques Shanghai An Home

This pair of father and daughter only created a "fairy tale world"

At night, the Shanghai Great World Huayan was at the beginning. In August, it was still in hard summer. People poured into this huge Western -style building in Shanghai Golden City. The newly opened performing art night market is a good place to go.

A red antique bug in the atrium is dazzling and strangely shaped, and every detail of the body reminds people that it comes from distant space -time.

On the corner of the eaves of the popcorn car, the golden silk bird in the cage is responsible for welcome the guests; the two little pine rats in the window constantly, turning the iron furnace of grilled peanuts; sitting on the counter wearing a black dress with black noodles. Tourists who come and go ...

Each corner is filled with the popcorn car that is filled with fairy tale plot, becoming the focus of people who stop in summer in the night market.

The plaid shirt, beige long skirt, a blue apron, wearing a small grass hat, should be like a girl who just squeezed milk from the pasture, busy in the popcorn car -she is the owner of the popcorn cart.

She reached out and handed a white egg tube out of the window, and the little girl waiting under the window was burning.

"Come, little cute, take your little torch."

This popcorn is the tip of the iceberg collected with his father. The encounters in this big world have spread a legendary story of tens of thousands of Western antiques drifting across the sea.

Wonderful little world

At noon, Yan Shu, who was over 80 years old, opened the door of the "Little Fangting" antique shop.

The mottled counters are up and down with badges, porcelain, and dolls; narrow beside the aisle, liquidation of large -scale eight -tone boxes in more than 100 years old in the aisle, rating machine, antique piano, and 100 -year -old; Antique bicycles and dance dolls were hung around the sky.

Xiaofangting Antique Store

Looking into this more than 300 square meters of square space, it is like a wormhole that is sucked into a space -time. The all -sized and sizes of all kinds of mighty are filled with corners.

"Before the epidemic, you will enter the goods of three containers every year!" Yan Shu, who was thin, looked ruddy and his voice was bright: "It is easy to feel tired in the past two years. Just go up and go up. "

He is his father.

The wooden door of the antique shop is mottled, and there is a small woodcut signboard on the door. It is written in English "Dad's Antique Store", which comes from the handicraft. On the side of the door, there is a rusty master bicycle. The antique popcorn car that appeared in the night market is usually placed on the other side of the door.

The crispy birds were accompanied by the pushing door, and the first guest came in that day.

"I met with my friends about Xiaofangting Cafe next door. I only found out that you still have an antique shop?!" Miss Gu's language was surprised.

"Come in and watch! What kind of thing is interested, I'll introduce it to you." Uncle Yan wore a flower mirror, sorted out the new earrings, and looked up to greet the guests.

During the epidemic, the goods could not come in until recently. In the past three years, the first container drifted across the sea and finally transported from Canada to Shanghai. The main work of Uncle Yan's recently was to organize this massive new collection.

A butterfly danced with the music on the octagonal box, which is a rare design from Switzerland.

Miss Gu wandered around in the store, and her dazzling collections made her a little dizzy for a while -shocking the huge collection is a common reaction that most guests came in.

She fancy a pair of antique earrings placed in the case of Yan Shu, carefully picked it up, and painted in the mirror in her ears.

"Hi! This batch of goods has just arrived, I haven't met anyone yet, but you got it today!"

"How much is this earrings?" Miss Gu's eyes were a little inseparable from the earrings.

"This ... I haven't had time to check the price yet. Otherwise, do you open a price?" Speaking of the price, the hearty Yan Shu revealed a trace of childhood embarrassment.

Without carefully sorting out the reconciliation, the price of many products could not remember even if Yan Shu couldn't remember. In addition to the scarcity of objects itself, the transaction price, consumption tax, transportation insurance premiums, and warehousing expenses during overseas auction, coupled with the generals of sea transportation, customs clearance, and store rents, will affect the pricing of objects.

"The guests who come here, as long as they really like it, even if they don't make money, I will sell it." Uncle Yan pointed at a European landscape painting next to the display cabinet. "Yesterday, there was a little girl who studied art. Tell me, "Grandpa, I am a student, if the price is too expensive, I can't afford it. '"

"I said,‘ I will make you afford. ’”

Miss Gu and Yan Shu were embarrassed to bargain. Just when the two were kind and embarrassed, they were relatively embarrassing. When they went back and forth, they walked in a pair of guests in the store.

They came here. The day ago, I called Yan Shu to make an appointment and settled the time to visit. Unexpectedly, when Uncle Yan went out temporarily when he came, they poured out. The persistent guest decided to bend to the next door of Xiao Fangting Cafe, or wait for him to come back.

Uncle Yan didn't go, greeted the guests to walk in front of an antique eight -sound box, manually chain, and the sounded Ding Dong Le Sheng made a magical and pleasant three -dimensional sound effect under the resonance of the wooden box.

This 140 -year -old Ren REGINA fully automatic iron plate eight -tone box. After tight haircuts, not only can play music like ordinary eight sound boxes, the hidden records can also be switched automatically, which can be called the peak of mechanical crafts.

This is a special courtesy provided by Uncle Yan. Usually guests come and listen to a fee of 50 yuan. It is not because this huge octagonal box is expensive, it can be called the treasure of the town shop; it is just that it is scarce in the world. Once the parts are damaged, the probability cannot be repaired. How did this eight -tone box get in my hands? There is a story. I watched the collection at the home of an old collector abroad and at a glance this eight sound box. At that time, it was hidden in the small room next to the old gentleman's study room. Mr. said this is non -selling products. He talked to him about his various eight -tone box collection. What is the source and what is the gameplay. In the end, although the price is expensive, the old gentleman finally loose and give me things. "

"Actually, whether it is buying and selling or collecting, the person who does this thing is most concerned about the fate. Things are most afraid of being in the hands of people who do not understand. Respect for objects. "

Talking about the story of the collection, Yan Shu, who talked and frustrated, was always tangible.

"From a young age, I like to collect it. Every month, I grit my teeth and take out a part of the stamp from the salary. I also have the first set of stamps in China.

Uncle Yan is never a businessman.

After a long time, Miss Gu said that she did not want to let her friends wait, first go to Xiaofangting Cafe for dinner, wait for the price, and then come back to buy it.

Yan Shu said with a smile, casually, the business was not done, and the two were relieved.

Long -distance collection road

In the 1990s, he studied abroad to study abroad. During the holidays, the father and daughter traveled together. Before any city, they would do their homework in advance. The main itinerary was to run the local antique shops one by one.

"Once we took a heavy rain and drove for a few hours, and finally found the small shop to go. The moment I opened the store door, I felt my legs were soft and I really liked it. There are still many things from that shop, my daughter and I reached a consensus, these are all non -selling products. "

Even the two painted wooden shops of Xiao Fangting were also found from the suburbs of Canada. "We go to the farmer's market every week. We only open for 2 hours. We drove over. They were about to collect the stalls. They all set up their own old goods. At that time, I saw these two doors. In fact, I was particularly surprised I never thought about how to move back to such a big thing at all. Later, I really got it back after a good toss. "

Uncle Yan said that the world of antiques collection is wonderful. The good things that they get in the United States often come from Europe. In Europe, it is often rare baby that is rare in the United States. In the end, these babies came to Shanghai again with Uncle Yan.

"Why are antiques? Because this contains the amazing imagination, creativity, and complicated and exquisite craftsmanship of the producer. It is the rich and subtle emotions that support them to make these good things."

"In addition, the resonance of the collector to objects will continue its vitality. A piece of antique may be a gift from the buyer, or it may be a gift from the buyer to the important relatives and friends. Gifts, these minds are not calculated in the price. "

During the US gambling in the 1920s, a gambling machine was installed as an octagonal box.

The guests in the shop are all kinds of guests and the age span is also very large. There are little dolls who have just walked, and old Shanghai with crutches. The little doll is novel when you see anything, and you will no longer be noisy when you come in; the old Shanghai has a nostalgic emotion. "Some objects, I have it before."

"Sometimes it is too familiar with the guests, but it is actually quite difficult to do business. But I also like to be friends with guests. Guests like to listen to my stories, and I also like to listen to stories. Some of them are antique in the store There is still research than me. "

Uncle Yan had a small rule: guests who placed multiple pieces of goods at a time, the first product of picking, the price was calculated by the guest. He is high or low, and he is glad to accept it.

"Several times, I have received the money transferred from the guest, which is higher than my original pricing. I said too much. They said that the price was worth the price, and they couldn't treat me."

The eight -tone box categories in the shop have the most categories, and hundreds of them have been sold. Many guests who picked the eight -tone box still remembered.

A eight -tone box from Italy is especially favored by girls.

The music sounded, and the small door of the octagonal box opened slowly. On the rotating table in the middle, the dancer was perfect and danced. The small grid on the inside of the eight -tone box door could just put down a lipstick.

Uncle Yan accepted four and sold three so far. Each price is different. "The first guest bought it was 80,000 yuan. To be honest, this eight -tone box, where you buy it, is worth the price; the second guest, bought a large number of things, 60,000, is given to her."

By late March this year, a pair of mothers and daughters came to the store, and her daughter fancy the third. For a long time, my mother quietly asked Lao Yan if she could help her keep for a week.

A week later, the mother and daughter came back.

Before I decided to buy the eight -tone box, my mother said to her daughter, "Buy it back, you don't allow you to touch it! This is the dowry that the mother gave you."

Uncle Yan was very moved after listening to it. He gritted his teeth and 50,000 yuan. He wrapped the eight sound box carefully and handed it to the mother and daughter.

The last one left, Uncle Yan did not sell it, he would leave him to his daughter.

There are also guests that Uncle Yan doesn't like. He had witnessed a guest and guests in his own, and made a fortune in his shop. The designer picked the Chinese goods, took pictures to the customer, and the guests on the other side of the phone looked at the information and bought it. On the basis of the original price, the price of each product is 5,000, as many as 10,000, and for half a day, the designer easily earns a large price difference.

Uncle Yan knew the designer's vision, but he disagreed with the buyer: "I think the buyer on the phone does not care about these things."

Father and daughter dreammaster

Another crispy bird sounded, the shop was pushed away.

A pair of couples glanced at the shop, showing a confusing expression. Uncle Yan immediately responded: "Do you want to go to the cafe? Go out and turn left."

The Xiaofangting Cafe next door is a western restaurant designed in the first -hand. Speaking of which, there are no cafes or this antique shop.

Xiaofang Ting Cafe

A few years ago, Dangdang decided to come to this fashion design brand and studio. In order to design the ideal small world, she used these old antique objects from abroad as a material, full of a hall in the park.

The construction site of the cafe is covered with large and small antiques, as well as thick and thin iron doors and iron fences. Lao Yan went to the construction site to explore the class, and often was amazed by her daughter's "willfulness". "Oh, she thought of a design, so she immediately let the construction team do it, pretend to be dismantled, and it took a year and a half to complete it."

The cafe is open, and the person in charge of the park watched the rest of the house, and it was reluctant. It is recommended that it is better to open an antique shop here.

When you should go down, I think this is probably a chance to make a dream for my father.

When the father and daughter first collected antiques abroad, they didn't have much money in their pockets, but they had a lot of knowledge. In the second -hand market, many sellers are older grandparents. They sell their lifetime collections and sell them easily, and they can also subsidize their lives in their later years. Uncle Yan always said that such a life makes him envy.

Remember the envy of his father.

Xiaofang Ting Antique Museum

She hid Uncle Yan, arranged an antique shop, and planned to come up with the most fine collection of collections. Using the space next door to the cafe, Xiao Fangting Antique Museum was used.

On the day of all the things, Dangdang and Yan Shu had dinner in Xiaofangting, and the official completion of the cafe.

After a meal, he should walk into the museum with Uncle Yan and then go to the antique shop. At the door of the store, she said to Uncle Yan, "Dad, this shop will be given to you."

That day, Uncle Yan was happy like a child.

In Yan Shu's eyes, Dangdang has always been a special child.

During the transformation of Xintiandi, when the three forks ran away, the workers threw out garbage, old bricks and old tiles, and tattered windows, and moved to home. Looking at the mess at home, Uncle Yan couldn't help but want to vomit.

"Just paint the old and honest painting, why do you like these old objects."

Uncle Yan (left) and daughter should be

Later, Dang Dang had a art studio in Kangping Road. She used the old things that she had come to the courtyard, so that Uncle Yan could raise birds and plant flowers.

It didn't take a few days, "Dad's Nursing Home" has become a living room for those who receive paintings.

Uncle Yan was "forced to go down the sea", coffee, and west point, became everyone's "waiter"; later, here, here simply became a restaurant called "Little Garden". Before 2010, this restaurant became a young literary and artistic youth in Shanghai.

Xiaofang Ting Cafe was the spiritual sequel to the first little garden. Various old door panels, old ladders, old objects, decorate this open space. Behind everything, there may be a profound story. Putting together has become a fairy -tale illusion.

"Little Garden", "Secret Garden", "WOOF WOOF", "Little George", "Little Jasmine", "Little Fang Ting" ... 20 years back to China. Play a hiding cat with a complicated burnout life.

Someone is here to review the postgraduate entrance examination, some people are in love and propose, and the guests have left their own memories and stories here.

Once, Dangdang's rotary Trojan, who auctioned himself from overseas, was settled in the "WOOF WOOF" store of Xuhui Binjiang, and once became the dream of many girls. Now, the antique popcorn cart has become the highlight of the new "small garden" store. Those who come to buy ice cream on the weekend are always long queues.

Yan Shu, who accompanied her daughter all the way, also read and understand the world of her daughter. "It is not a piece of work painted on paper. Every shop that is opened is her work."

Dangdang's restaurant has become a unique existence in the Shanghai Dining industry. There are more and more merchants who actively ask for cooperation and cross -border.

An epidemic disrupted a lot.

Two months after the control, Xiaofangting antique shops and coffee shops were in a dilemma that could not be turned around in order to pay the rent. When he took out the eight sound box sent by his father and told Yan Shu, or sold it, Yan Shu thought about it, and after all, he couldn't bear it.

Uncle Yan said that the antique shop is a dream that his daughter is for his father. What he can do is to keep his daughter's artwork in the store and go to the dream of guests.

A few days ago, a girl watched a set of puppet bottle in the shop. Because of the non -selling product, Uncle Yan did not relax.

Later, Uncle Yan accidentally saw the picture of this bottle of plug on Xiaohongshu. The blogger wrote: "After discussing with Grandpa for a long time, he refused to sell it to me., I will probably sell it to me. "This post reminded Uncle Yan to himself who bought the American eight -tone box that year.

"If she comes again one day, I will definitely give her this as a wedding gift. She really likes it."

In the stories after Yan Shu's telling one after another, the night was gradually down, and the shop was going to snooze.

With a friend from the gathering of Xiaofangting Cafe, Miss Gu returned to the shop again.She drumped her courage, opened the price to Uncle Yan, and bought the earrings that were thoughtful for a night.

Get away from Miss Gu, Uncle Yan shook his head and cheered, "It belongs to a strong buy, I didn't speak, she said with a smile to scan the code and pay, and walked happily."
