Chapter 173

After taking a comfortable hot bath, the chill in his body dissipated. Li Zitao changed into clothes bought by his men in the street.

Although not a high-end brand, but the material is pure cotton, comfortable on the line.

Taking up the pocket watch on the table, Li Zitao shook helplessly, and the water droplets inside made a sound.

“BOSS。” Opening the door, the monk, wrapped in a large cotton padded jacket, sat in the corridor.

"Go to the bank first. I need money to fix the pocket watch." Li Zitao is speechless with his watch.

"I'll get a taxi." I found a comfortable carriage in front of the hotel and went straight to the bank.

First bank and United Bank have no branches here, but that doesn't hinder his plan.

There are countermeasures at the top and policies at the bottom, which has been the case since ancient times.

So after a few phone calls, Li got $10000 in cash and a brand-new checkbook.

With his pockets full, Li Zitao asked the coachman to take them to the most famous watch repair shop here.

At this time, there are many watch repair shops. After all, pocket watch is a kind of expensive and popular thing, which needs maintenance and repair.

Looking up, some carriages stopped at a busy Lane in front of Li Zitao.

"Cruise ancient clock and watch shop" has a strong sense of age.

Ding Dong ~ ~

push open the wooden door with glass, and you can see the old shops. There is a long corridor, and the glass shelves on both sides are filled with all kinds of clocks and pocket watches.

The yellowing wooden cabinet is full of intimacy, and the feet are on the floor, creaking and creaking.

Tick, tick sound, people seem to walk in the corridor of time.

"Welcome. Can I help you?" A thin white man with white temples asked.

"I'll fix the watch." Li Zitao held up his watch and said with a smile.

"Come in!" The man said casually.

At the end of the corridor is a workshop of about 20 square meters. The table is full of various parts. The other party is changing gears for a copper clock.

It's not the long copper fingers that stand out.

"It's a pity not to talk about the piano with these hands." Li Zitao criticized the way in his heart.

"Show me." He closed the bell again, and the other side turned and said.

Li Zitao handed the watch to him. Seeing the pattern on it, cruise's drooping pupil shrank into a needle, and his thumb wiped it gently on the watch cover.

"Have you seen this pocket watch?" Li Zitao asked curiously when he found that the other side held his head low for half a day.

“…… He was made by my great great grandfather Bruce looked up at him, turned around and sat down at the table, deftly opening the pocket watch.

"West?" Li Zitao asked tentatively.

"Who?" Bruce looked back curiously. The confusion of his eyes didn't look like a fake.

"It's OK." Li Zitao shook his head, which made him laugh.

How can you come across a watch mender, a descendant of Habsburg, there are too many coincidences in this world?

"You can look around. I need some time." Bruce said without looking up.

"OK." Li Zitao replied casually, admiring the clocks in the shelves on both sides of the corridor.

Before he knew it, Li Zi Tao was immersed in this short "time corridor". The clocks and pocket watches with high attainments and exquisite lines attracted his attention.

"The 18K gold inlaid pocket watch produced by the royal family of state y in 1890 has a cover made of pure gold, inlaid with 32 gemstones, and has a sun moon star and three fine needles.

this is the peak of craftsmanship in that era, and you have a good eye for it."

Bruce, wearing gloves, handed the repaired pocket watch to Li Zitao.

"Thank you." After taking the watch, Li Zi Tao found that the superficial scratch had disappeared. When he opened the watch cover, the dial and inner core inside were as fresh as before.

Close to the ear, listen to the mechanical "tick, tick, tick" more crisp.

"It's used very well. I hope you can take good care of it." Bruce said, looking at the watch in his hand.

"Of course." Li Zitao put away the pocket watch with satisfaction, pointed to the gold inlaid pocket watch in the cabinet and said, "is it for sale?"

"All the pocket watches here have prices." Bruce nodded.

Hearing this, Li Zitao pointed out that he was interested and said, "I'll take all of these."

18K gold set pocket watch, a Patek Philippe diamond wrist ring jewelry watch, Cartier's 22 diamond women's watch.

It's a bronze bell with the shape of Cupid driving a swan pulling a car. The seat is a very interesting gold leaf shape. There is also a seat at the bottom, which is a baby angel. It costs 3854 US dollars, and the repair cost is $50 dollars, totally 3900 dollars. " Bruce took the things out of the cupboard and put them on the table.

"I took advantage of your four dollars." Write down the amount of the check.

"It's for coffee." Bruce responded with a smile.“……” Damn American humor.

He handed the check to the other party. The monk was carrying things. The first thing he carried was an angel shaped clock. It was the most expensive, worth $2350.

"It was the product of the royal family of state y. after the mechanical watch core broke, it was auctioned by the royal family. I bought it and repaired it." This is Bruce's introduction.

Anyway, it won't be very cheap to get involved with the royal family these days, especially the Windsor royal family, one of the strongest countries on the planet.

Holding Cupid's bell, Li Zitao opened the door with his feet when a small figure flashed across his chest.

Looking down, the jewel pocket watch just repaired is missing.

"Monk." Give the bronze bell to the monk, and Li Zitao catches up.

The pocket watch was handed over to him by West. It was more meaningful than valuable for the little old man and himself.

Eyes locked in the crowd shuttle of the small figure, Li Zitao guess he should not be more than 12 years old, "juvenile recidivist."

There are more thieves in these days than in later generations.

Most of them are family property. The sisters are on the lookout. The younger brother steals. The brother and uncle solve the problem. The parents sell the stolen goods. They are very professional.

Sure enough, after chasing each other and turning into a dark lane, seven or eight teenagers holding iron bars and daggers blocked in the middle.

"Give it back to me now, and I promise you will not be punished." Li Zitao's "good intentions" got a burst of laughter.

"Look at what this guy says, damn RB pigs, get out of here." The leading teenager spat on the ground with a 25cm machete on his shoulder.

"I agree with you very much, but I am Chinese, not those short white gourd."

Li Zitao said with a grin, his body tilted back and raised his right foot, and suddenly kicked forward.

Bang!

Carrying a machete, he was still the fearless leader of the king a second ago. He was kicked by a foot and flew more than 2 meters high. He fell on the ground and rolled to the end of the alley.

Gudong!

The rebellious youngster who thinks that "the fist is in charge of the world" swallows his saliva, and nono retreats.

"Things." Li did not pay attention to their movements, just reached out and said.

"Be careful, sir." Behind him came a female voice. The wind sounded on his head, and the door broke into pieces on Li Zitao's head.

"Slot!" Spit out the dust sticking to his mouth, Li Zitao grabbed the boy who wanted to run by his side with his backhand and lifted it to fall directly on the wall.

The other party didn't even have time to scream, and his eyes rolled and fainted.

"I'll give you a good face. I'm really kind-hearted and kind-hearted." Two strides forward, holding their heads as tightly as the big hands.

Bang!

The two brain melon seeds collide with each other, making a dull drum sound, but Li Zitao doesn't mean to stop.

If you don't listen when you say it well, don't say it. Lift the table!

It was a little exaggerated.

The real situation is just like an eagle catching a chicken. When it is lifted up, it is thrown and thrown. In the dark lane, there are only thieves with pocket watch, legs shaking and dripping water in the crotch.

After reaching out for the watch, Li Zitao slapped him on his head, but without much effort, the guy turned his eyelids, and the crooked way was on the ground.

“……” With this acting skill, he doesn't want to be a film emperor. After shooting the ashes on his body, Li Zitao walked out of the alley and came to the carriage. He put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly. "Thank you for your warning, beautiful lady."

"How can you be sure what I look like?" In the ornate and covered carriage, the voice of the former woman came again.

Just compared with the previous tension, a little more ridicule and curiosity.
