Practice Tan'er

After bidding farewell to Shirley Yang, Xiao Ran also temporarily left the small courtyard where Hu Bayi and Fatty rented and returned to his Baorong Zhai.

In total, he left for almost two months. Although his second uncle took Liu Shengli to Xijiang to find him, he specially found reliable people to visit the store from time to time. But Buddha couldn't guard against Gray Skin, so he returned

As soon as the store opened, rats of all sizes were gathered around the store for a meeting, and several fakes on the shelves were knocked to the ground and smashed to pieces.

Xiao Ran got angry at that time and pulled out the Guan Shan Dao. All he could think about was how to kill all the rats that had made a nest in his shop.

Liu Shengli was so frightened by this moment that he was afraid that he would smash the store on impulse, so he quickly pulled him to persuade him. Those rats could smell the evil spirit on the knife, and there were a few that were about to catch up with the rabbit-sized rats.

The rat was rolling around on the counter like a demonstration. When he saw the Guanshan knife coming out of its sheath, he immediately ran away with the kids. Within a few seconds, only rat excrement and hair were left on the floor.

It was too late that day, so I had to go to bed hastily. But during this period, Xiao Ran and Liu Shengli cleaned up every day, and found new surprises in some bottles and jars from time to time.

Oddly enough, after scaring away the mice that day, Xiao Ran didn't hear any mice making trouble in the store even at night. On the contrary, from the direction of the cellar, there was a hazy "squeaking" sound and a faint hint of squeaking from time to time.

There is a faint smell of blood.

Today, he said goodbye to Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi. He returned to the store and asked Liu Shengli to clean the last small warehouse. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, so he told Liu Shengli to close the shop, and he walked out for a walk again.

The black glasses thing always worried him. He walked along the alley and thought about it, and unknowingly came to the door of the small courtyard where Hu Bayi rented.

It seemed that after this period of shared adventures, he had become accustomed to being with these two people. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he simply opened the door and went in to chat with the two.

Walking to the courtyard, he happened to meet Hu Bayi washing dishes in front of the faucet. When Hu Bayi saw Xiao Ran coming in, his face was also full of smiles: "Hey, brother Xiao, have you eaten? I still have some noodles in the pot, no.

Just take a bite if you don’t like it?”

Xiao Ran quickly declined. He and Liu Shengli had just eaten several large bowls of braised pork belly, and now they smelled like minced garlic every time they burped.

The two of them entered the house and saw the fat man hurriedly trying to hide a table full of money. When he turned around and saw that it was Xiao Ran, he also laughed happily and continued to count the dollars one by one in front of the light.

I have to say that Shirley Yang was really considerate. These U.S. dollars were all old unserialized bills with face values ​​ranging from ten yuan to one hundred yuan. They were spread out on the table in gray, green and green colors.

"...One thousand and twenty, one thousand and forty... Hey, brother Xiao, why are you here free?"

The fat man counted the money and asked without looking back.

"Oh my god, I went back to the store at 4:50 in the afternoon and worked for two or three hours. When I looked at the watch, it was already 8:06, so I wanted to go out and walk a thousand or two thousand steps. Isn't it just right?

You are here." Xiao Ran said with a smile.

The fat man nodded: "Oh... one thousand and eight points... one thousand... Hey! Where did I count? Brother Xiao, you are deliberately causing trouble, aren't you?"

The fat man spread the money in his hand on the table, scratching his head with helplessness on his face. Hu Bayi smiled and said: "Stop counting, fat man, you still blame Brother Xiao. How many times have you counted it before Xiao Ran came, outside

Two sparrow calls can make you count wrongly."

The fat man stretched himself contentedly and said, "This is the first time I've seen so much money. Don't blame me. You guys will have trouble counting..."

Hu Bayi said: "You just have no future. Let's not talk about Brother Xiao as the boss. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands are just a passing cloud. Such a small amount of money is nothing at all. We will pour out some top-notch goods later.

Come on, are you afraid that you won’t be able to walk sideways in Panjiayuan like Big Golden Tooth? Let’s re-patch it and open a new one now, and I will definitely have to pour a big bucket this time!”

Xiao Ran heard what Hu Bayi said and answered: "The ancient tombs in the deep mountains and old forests are hidden too deep. You never know when you will find them. Now the money can only be exchanged for hundreds of thousands, and you two are not willing to

People who save in banks and earn interest. If you have this capital, why not just set up an antique stall and become your own boss?"

Fatty was originally a small businessman. When Xiao Ran said this, his eyes naturally lit up: "I think this is a good idea! Why don't we open a shop and sell some of the things we sell? If the sales are good, maybe we won't even need them.

It’s time to fight. I was really good at it the past two times. Even if I get money quickly, it’s really a hard job.”

Hu Ba nodded: "It's indeed a good idea. It's a good opportunity to open a shop and learn some knowledge about antique appraisal first."

He did what he said, and Xiao Ran took the two of them to look at the shops the next day. But after a day's inspection, the location with the right price was not suitable, and the house with the right location was too small. It was not easy to find a location with a good price and a good price.

Sadly, Xiao Ran always felt that there was something wrong with this house in his memory, but the Soul Locking Lingzhu said that he "heard the voice of the soul" again.

After careful inquiry, it turned out that this was a haunted house. From the Republic of China to the present, more than 20 people had died in it, and there had been three massacres. Hu Bayi and Fatty were so unlucky that they had to give up the idea of ​​opening a store in the end.

The plan is to set up a street stall and start as a small street vendor.

Naturally, Xiao Ran and Da Jinya often came to take care of them. They gave them some inexpensive items in the store to practice with, and they would be divided into 30/70 when they were sold. The main purpose was to let them build a reputation in Panjiayuan first and make themselves look good.

Familiar. Occasionally Xiao Ran or Da Jinya would come to the stall to have a look. If someone wanted to sell something, they would help judge whether it was worth it.

Sometimes Da Jinya would take Hu Bayi and Fatty for a walk in the suburbs, and collect some pots and jars from some farmers, as well as some ancient coins, snuff bottles, old pocket watches and the like, by the way.

Teach two people some knowledge about identifying antique furs.

After more than half a month, Xiao Ran asked the two how the business was going. Hu Bayi said with a grimace: "This business is too deep, and it's more complicated than Feng Shui for me. Sometimes I spend too much money to collect goods that won't open the door.

Sometimes I collect some good things and buy them as fakes. Over and over again, I lose more than a thousand, so I treat them as tuition fees."

Xiao Ran nodded: "The antique shop does not open for three years, but it lasts for three years after opening. If you are lucky, it may last for thirty years. This profitable business must be learned slowly. Don't you know a lot more now than before?

"

Xiao Ran, Hu Bayi, and Fatty agreed that they would go to the suburbs to collect things next time, and he would go with them to have fun, not for anything else, but because they were really busy recently.

While he was talking, Da Jinya hurried over and whispered to Xiao Ran: "Master Xiao, I asked you about it. His grandma is so damned alive. Are you free? Come to my store and let's talk in detail."

Xiao Ran's eyes widened when he was told that. Hu Bayi and Fatty next to him also looked curious, which one did Big Gold Tooth talk about?

Da Jinya slapped his leg: "Just those black glasses, you black blind man!"
