Entering November.

The cold winter in Sijiu City is coming.

The north wind is raging.

The weather is getting colder.

Li Qiao sold all the cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers, cotton shoes, cotton hats, and cotton socks rewarded by the system at Shenghe Store.

Business is booming.

The Shenghe store has expanded to five stores.

Li Qiao re-customized a gold-lettered signboard.

The three gilded characters "Shenghe Store" are hung on the door and can be seen clearly from hundreds of meters away.

After the store expanded, the business went to a higher level.

The five storefronts are overcrowded and bustling every day.

Sales have been rising steadily.

Coupled with the benefits brought by farm coal.

Li Qiao can now earn at least two hundred yuan in net profit every day.

This income is very amazing.

Two hundred a day is six thousand a month.

In this day and age, what is the concept of being able to earn 6,000 yuan a month?

Fortunately, Li Qiao is extremely low-key.

No one knew that the profits from Shenghe Store went into his pocket.

Everyone thought that the Shenghe store was just a sales agency of the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

"Brother Qiao, we have opened up another small storefront. What do you think we will use it for?"

Niu Xiaolian came over and asked.

Li Qiao followed her and took a look. Beyond the five facades, there was another small facade, which should have been used to store sundries.

“Now that it’s been sorted out, of course we have to make use of it!”

Li Qiao said.

"But we don't have enough manpower now!" Niu Xiaolian said, "My dad said that if we open more doors, we will have to hire people from outside!"

Li Qiao thought for a while and suddenly had an idea.

He ran to Niu Dageng and expressed his thoughts.

Niu Dageng: "Collect antiques and toys?"

Li Qiao: "Yes, Master! I want to open that small storefront into an antique shop!"

Niu Dageng: “This is an unfamiliar industry, we don’t understand it!”

Li Qiao: "Master, please help me look for any masters in antiques and toys that I can invite to our store."

Niu Dageng: "Okay, I happen to know a few friends in Liulichang, I'll ask them."

Li Qiao: "Thank you, Master."

Niu Dageng: "By the way, we need to discuss this matter with Xie Supply and Marketing Boss first? What if he doesn't agree?"

Li Qiao: "Don't worry, Master, Boss Xie has nothing to disagree with."

Opening an antique shop has actually been Li Qiao's dream since time travel.

In this era, if we collect more antiques and cultural relics, wait until they are reopened, and sell them, wouldn't it be a thousand-fold gain?

Furthermore, if we can collect some cultural relics, we can somewhat reduce the loss of Chinese cultural relics overseas.

Anyway, Li Qiao has system space and can fit any number of cultural relics.

In addition, Li Qiao is getting richer and richer now, so it would be a pity not to make some investments.

Investing in cultural relics should be a good choice.

So, soon, a signboard was erected next to Shenghe store.

There is only one line on the signboard: Collect antiques and toys.

This is Li Qiao's antique shop.

Of course, it is still in its original form and looks inconspicuous.

It will slowly develop and expand in the future.

After hanging up this signboard, I quietly waited for the cultural relics to come to my door.

…

Siheyuan.

Deaf old lady's house.

"Old lady, what do you want to do with me and Silly Zhu?"

The uncle approached the old lady and asked.

I don't know what happened today, but the deaf old lady who was always taciturn suddenly called him and Shazhu over, saying that she had something to discuss.

The deaf old lady lived alone in an upper room in the backyard.

Usually, the uncle and aunt are in charge of eating and drinking.

The deaf old lady regarded the uncle as a candidate for retirement.

She once promised that after her death, the upper room would be handed over to her uncle for inheritance.

"Zhong Hai, go and see if the door is closed tightly?"

The deaf old lady was lying on a chair and said feebly.

She was eighty-six years old and had run out of oil.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the door and said, "It's closed tightly."

The deaf old lady nodded and stood up with difficulty.

Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped forward to help her: "Old lady, what do you want to see us for?"

Silly Zhu also said at the side: "Yes, old lady, we are all busy. If you don't have anything important to do, I have to rush back to the factory to work!"

The deaf old lady struggled to say: "It's important! It's very important!"

The first man and Silly Zhu looked at each other, wondering what was important about the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady walked tremblingly to a box and said, "You should know that this courtyard is inherited from my family."

The old man: "I know! After JF, you donated it to GJ for free, and GJ even commended you for this! Later, GJ allocated this courtyard to the employees of the steel rolling mill, so that we could live in it!"

Silly Zhu: "Yes, everyone in the courtyard knows about this, and everyone appreciates your kindness!"

Deaf old lady: "It's good if everyone knows."

As she said that, she took out a stack of paper from under the box and said, "But there are still some things you don't know."

Shazhu and Yiye were confused.

The deaf old lady returned to the recliner with the stack of papers and gasped: "It's like a treasure map, you don't know!"

"Treasure map?"

Silly Zhu and Yiye exclaimed at the same time.

The deaf old lady nodded, raised the pile of paper in her hand, and said, "I just discovered it too."

The uncle quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said, "Is this a treasure map?"

The deaf old lady avoided his hand and said, "Don't grab it, this is mine!"

The elder retracted his hand and said: "Yes, yes, it belongs to you!"

Silly Zhu didn't believe it: "Old lady, don't be joking! There is no treasure map in this world!"

Deaf old lady: "Zhong Hai, you should know the identity of my ancestors best, right?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded quickly: "Old lady, your ancestors are relatives of the emperor. Not only do I know this, but even the gj knows it clearly."

Silly Zhu was shocked: "Old lady, are your ancestors so proud?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Of course. The old lady is used to keeping a low profile, but her status as an old lady is anything but ordinary."

The deaf old lady nodded approvingly: "Zhonghai, you know better."

Silly Zhu: "Even if the old lady has a noble ancestor, it doesn't mean that this is a treasure map!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded and asked the deaf old lady: "How can you be sure this is a treasure map?"
