"I was just saying that I wanted to thank you brothers. If you hadn't arrived in time, brothers, I would have gone to meet the King of Hell. In a few days, I will invite some of you to drink. I will definitely reward you by then."
Zhuang Rui quickly bowed and thanked these people for their concern. After he woke up, he heard Uncle De say that after his eye was grazed by a bullet that day, if these people from the bank hadn't arrived quickly, the gangster would have shot him again.
, Zhuang Rui probably really can’t stand here today.
"Hey, this little guy is really cute."
When a cashier saw the white lion following Zhuang Rui, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch the white lion's head. Unexpectedly, the white lion suddenly rushed forward. The cashier, who was about 1.8 meters tall, was actually beaten by the white lion.
The lion jumped to the ground. You must know that the current white lion is only more than two months old. Its body is about the same size as the German blackback, but its strength is terrifying. When Zhuang Rui played with it, he would be hit by it inadvertently.
It's pressed under me.
At this time, the hair on the white lion's body stood on end, and its big mouth was half-open, facing the man's throat. The people around him had no doubt that this mouthful would definitely tear the man's throat open.
.
"White Lion, come back!!!"
Zhuang Rui was startled, and quickly put the things in his hands on the table next to him, rushed forward, hugged the white lion's head, and whispered to comfort the little guy, but the cashier was already frightened.
I was stunned, lying on the ground and didn't get up.
"Brother Zhuang, is this a Tibetan mastiff? Darling, he is really powerful. If he had been there that day, it would have been useless for the three robbers to come." It was not until the white lion became quiet that everyone around him came back to his senses and praised Bai Shi one after another.
The lion, and the white lion at this moment, was lying docilely at Zhuang Rui's feet, as well-behaved as a pet dog, with no trace of the violent murderous aura just now.
Zhuang Rui looked at the little white lion helplessly. The little guy's usual well-behaved appearance made Zhuang Rui sometimes almost forget that it was a snow mountain mastiff king. It would only act when it felt that it had been offended.
He showed a hint of ferocity, and it was a good thing that he was watching by his side now. If he was not by his side, this little guy would definitely bite him without hesitation.
"Manager Zhuang, please have tea."
After the handover of the cashiers was completed, they all said their goodbyes and left. Apart from the two security guards, she was the only one left in the huge pawn shop. At this time, Xu Ling brought a cup of tea over and looked at Zhuang Rui timidly, looking pitiful.
The explosive hair style that was originally on par with Little White Lion's has also been straightened out, and she looks much more comfortable than before.
"Well, thank you, you go ahead and do your work. Is Uncle De here?"
Zhuang Rui took the tea and was polite. He was wondering in his heart. Logically speaking, the cashier's job was to hand over the money. Xu Ling left early on the day of the accident, which was completely derelict in her duties. Unexpectedly,
Zhuang Rui was a little confused because he didn't fire her and let her take the position of cashier.
"Manager Zhuang, Uncle De is not here yet, but judging by the time, he should be here soon."
Xu Ling answered Zhuang Rui's words carefully. She didn't know why. When she saw Zhuang Rui this time, he seemed to be much more dignified than before. He seemed to have the air of a leader. This temperament was obviously not because Zhuang Rui was wearing a suit.
Forming.
"Xiaozhuang, now that you are a manager, you still get to work earlier than my old man. Not bad, haha..."
Uncle De's hearty laughter came from the door, and Zhuang Rui hurriedly greeted him. Uncle De was wearing an old-fashioned green shirt and mandarin jacket, with a pair of cloth shoes on his feet. He was energetic and somewhat immortal.
"Hey, this little guy is pretty good, Xiaozhuang, where did you get it from?" Uncle De looked at Bai Shi with a somewhat dignified expression on his face. His eyesight was not comparable to those of the cashiers.
The extraordinary nature of the white lion can be seen at a glance.
"Uncle De, this is a long story. I also brought you some good things. You can give them to me."
Zhuang Rui replied with a smile, Uncle De usually treated him like his own junior, and Zhuang Rui also respected Uncle De very much.
"Oh, it seems that you have really figured it out. Our antique business is not only about fighting against the sky, but also about fighting against people. There is endless fun in it. Let's go to your office and let us talk about it.
Narrative."
Uncle De waved his hand, motioned to Zhuang Rui to take the things with him, and walked to the second floor first.
The pawn shop is divided into two floors. The first floor is the lobby and the collection area. There is also a pawn area in the corner. However, since the robbery incident, the pawn shop has been moved to the second floor. The first floor leads to the second road.
The stairs are guarded by security guards.
On the second floor, in addition to a space set aside for the sale of pawn items, there are offices for several appraisers and managers. Uncle De used to be the manager of the pawn shop, so the room with the sign of the manager's office,
No one had been using it. Knowing that Zhuang Rui was about to go to work, Uncle De also had the office cleared out.
After pushing open the door of the office, there was a very impressive executive desk with a brand-new computer on it. On the right side of the executive desk, there was a row of circular sofas surrounding a transparent tea table. Zhuang Rui turned around.
I circled around and found that this office is also equipped with a restroom and a small lounge where you can take a nap at noon.
"How's it going, Xiaozhuang, this office is much better than the one my old man has. Doesn't it feel good to be the manager?" Uncle De looked at Zhuang Rui's happy expression and joked.
"Uncle De, why are you so embarrassed? How about we change things?" Zhuang Rui said quickly.
"No, it's fine as it is. The chair you have here is not comfortable for me to sit on. Come on, show me what you have brought." Uncle De shook his head. His office was decorated very classically.
The atmosphere was filled with all kinds of real and fake antiques, and he was willing to stay in that atmosphere.
"Uncle De, let's watch while chatting. I, the manager, seem to be blind and don't know anything. You must give me a few words. Otherwise, you should take the manager's seat."
."
Zhuang Rui smiled and closed the door first, then put the things in his hands on the coffee table. His qualifications were really too low. Without Uncle De's support, he probably wouldn't be able to be the manager.
"Huh? Xiaozhuang, didn't you say there is only one couplet called "generous"? Where did this purple clay pot come from? I think I saw it somewhere before. Wait a minute, let me think about it..."
Uncle De was not polite. He opened the wooden box that Zhuang Rui brought. When he saw the set of eleven purple clay pots, he was stunned. After regaining consciousness, he immediately picked up the pot body and looked at it carefully.
When he got up, Zhuang Rui didn't say anything. When he saw an electric kettle in the room, he got up and took a pot of water from the water dispenser to boil it.
"Hey, I'm ringing. Isn't this an item belonging to that old guy who wants money? How did it end up in your hands?"
Uncle De's big hands full of veins slapped the coffee table hard, scaring Zhuang Rui who was boiling water. Even the white lion that had been crawling at the door after entering the house suddenly stood up.
He stood up, a low growl coming from his throat.
Zhuang Rui walked over quickly and looked at the coffee table first. Fortunately, the glass was thicker, otherwise, he would have smashed it.
"Uncle De, you have to be careful. It won't matter if this coffee table is smashed. If it hurts your hand, it will be a sin."
"I already told you that I don't like this Lao Shizi office. I don't use the nice wooden tables. I have to fix these broken glass things. By the way, Xiaozhuang, what I just said is right. This set of pots should be from Zhu Kexin 1953.
I brought it to the National Arts and Crafts Conference in 2008, and I saw it in the hands of that old guy Qian Yaosi."
Uncle De complained a few words and stared at Zhuang Rui, waiting for his answer. The purple sand object also belonged to miscellaneous items. Uncle De had been immersed in this for decades, so he couldn't be wrong about it.
After Zhuang Rui heard this, he was also impressed by Uncle De. In less than three minutes, he not only told the inheritance and origin of the pot accurately, but also told the origin of the pot. This kind of skill is not just
Zhuang Rui, who knows how to tell the difference between real and fake, can fake it.
"What you said is absolutely correct. This object is exactly the host I won back from the bet between Shopkeeper Qian and I. I guess the old man is still feeling distressed at this moment."
Zhuang Rui gave Uncle De a thumbs up, and then recounted the experience of visiting the Confucius Temple Antique City. Of course, the supernatural power in his eyes cannot be described. Zhuang Rui only talked about the time he picked up the purple clay teapot.
At that time, shopkeeper Qian looked a little panicked, and then he won the bet.
"Good! Good! Good win!!! That old guy is just a fool. Once something comes into his hands, it can only go in and out. Unless you pay for it and want to exchange it, that's the door."
No, I didn’t expect it to fall into your hands. Well, next time I see that old guy, I will definitely say something bad to him.”
Uncle De seemed to have some issues with Qian Yaosi. At this moment, he was smiling with great relief, and the wrinkles on his face were relaxed. Looking at this look, he probably felt that his heart was sweeter than drinking honey.
After laughing at Qian Yaosi, Uncle De said to Zhuang Rui: "Come here, show your old dzi beads to Uncle De."
When it comes to who Zhuang Rui trusts the most, Uncle De is definitely one of them. After getting along with him for more than a year, Zhuang Rui knows that this old man treats him well out of pure love and without any utilitarianism.
Inside, after hearing this, Yi Yi took off the Dzi bead bracelet without hesitation and handed it to Uncle De.
Uncle De waved his hand repeatedly and said: "Put it on the coffee table, I can't handle this object." It seems that Uncle De also knows the taboo of Dzi beads.
At this time, the water in the electric kettle was boiling and a beep sounded. Zhuang Rui walked over quickly and just unplugged the plug. The cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Zhuang Rui took it out and looked at it. It was a strange person.
Zhonghai’s local number, I didn’t think much and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, are you Zhuang Rui? I'm Miao Feifei..."
The female voice coming from the mobile phone made Zhuang Rui confused. Who is Miao Feifei?
