Most of the people in this world are ordinary people who have been reborn and turned the world upside down. That is to say, they know the general direction of the times. In the 1980s, they became self-employed and started small businesses, and then bought some treasury bills and stocks in the 1990s.
Then, buy some land and real estate in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and wait for the value to rise to become a tenant or landlord.
This kind of cultural relics were picked up and missed. A random vendor on the roadside was selling some kind of treasure bracelet. He just wanted to watch the fun, but he didn't know how to do it.
The two of them were outside, looking east and west.
Wen Laowu also opened his eyes and looked around.
At this time, a little old man in shabby clothes walked up to him and asked him in a low voice: "Brother, do you have anything to sell?"
Wen Laowu was puzzled. He felt that what these people said was something he couldn't understand, and he couldn't stop learning after learning.
Seeing that he was stunned, the other party took two yuan coins in his hand and waved them at him: "Brother, do you have this for sale at home? Now I have a foreigner friend who is curious and wants to collect it. If you have it, sell it to me.
.The price is easy to talk about.”
Wen Laowu opened his eyes wide and reached out to take the round coin in his hand to see: "What is this?"
"Oh, you can't look at this. This is a silver dollar. Do you understand? It's worth fifty yuan. If you have it, I'll buy it for fifty yuan. If you don't have it, forget it." After the other party said this, he turned around and
Walk.
Xu Erlong happened to look at a strange thing next to him, came over and asked curiously: "What did that person tell you just now?"
"I don't know." Wen Laowu waved his hands: "I don't understand."
Xu Erlong is funny. After all, Mandarin is not vigorously promoted now, and everyone has different accents from the south to the north, and they often use analogy and cross-talk.
The two of them continued to wander along the alley, and saw a small stall in front of them.
On the stalls, there are all kinds of messy collectible handicrafts, badges, jade bracelets, mottled incense burners and tripods, and some blue and white porcelain bottles.
"Hey, this." Wen Laowu pointed to a few yuan coins on the street stall and was surprised: "How much does this cost?"
The other person looked at him.
Wen Laowu gestured and asked, "How much does this cost?"
He recognized that the person who asked him just now was asking him if he had such money to sell.
The other person raised a finger.
"Ten dollars?"
"One hundred." the other party replied.
"No way?" Wen Laowu quickly calculated: "They just said fifty yuan, but you actually want one hundred?"
"Brother, I can tell from your accent that you are from outside. You don't understand. This thing is in short supply. The market price is only worth a hundred yuan. If I encounter those crooked nuts, I will at least sell them.
They paid two hundred yuan, how could they sell it for fifty yuan? If you have it, I will charge you as much as you have." The other party said.
Xu Erlong just wandered around and listened to the gossip of the two people.
The stall owner even carefully taught Wen Laowu how to identify this thing.
Wen Laowu listened to the other party's explanation and felt complacent. He didn't expect that if he resold this thing to Waiguoren, he could still make two hundred yuan?
"Let's go." Xu Erlong pulled him. Just listen to this as gossip. If you really want to believe it, there is a huge pitfall in this.
According to countless folklore, the old pawnshop owners may be mistaken and fooled by others with counterfeit goods.
Wen Laowu was pulled away by him, still muttering in his heart: "I didn't expect that it would be so profitable to do this."
"These are all lies." Xu Erlong said.
"I don't believe it." Wen Laowu didn't believe it at all: "They set up a street stall and sell it here. How can they deceive people?"
Seeing that he refused to believe it, Xu Erlong also felt that it would be better to let him experience these deceptions. People will not be taught a lesson if they don't do something good and suffer some losses.
He pulled Wen Laowu aside, and the two of them were at a remote location, observing the passers-by.
Sure enough, Wen Laowu saw the person who asked him if he had any money to sell before, and sneaked over again, asking a passerby.
Not long after, the passerby also passed by the place where the street stall was set up. He knelt down and asked about something while holding the yuan coin.
After going around for a while, a new person appeared with an anxious face. He was eager to sell the ancestral round coins at a low price so that he could exchange money for medical treatment for his family.
When Wen Laowu saw this, he finally figured it out: "Are they in the same group?"
"Of course." Xu Erlong said with a smile: "These people are colluding in acting. How can there be so many advantages in this world for you to pick up at will?"
"Oh, luckily I thought I could make money by changing hands." Wen Laowu sighed: "It turned out to be a liar."
"With such an easy way to make money, people have already made it on their own, so how can outsiders like you and me take their turn?" Xu Erlong said: "So, don't think about windfalls coming from the sky, it is more serious to earn what you can earn honestly.
"
The two of them walked along the alleyway here again. Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the intersection here, a man was pushed out from the door and almost bumped into Xu Erlong.
Xu Erlong reacted quickly and quickly took a few steps away to avoid being bumped into.
Of course, when you go out, you need to be vigilant at all times.
"Go away, I don't think you've wasted my wood, but you still dare to ask me for wages?" Someone cursed at the door, and as he finished speaking, another baggage was thrown out.
The bundle was not wrapped tightly, and a few pieces of clothes inside were scattered outside.
"No, you have to pay me wages..." The man who was pushed out fell to the ground and muttered.
"If you make trouble again, I will ask the police to arrest you. You are a blind bastard and you don't even have a letter of introduction. Do you believe I will arrest you and put you in jail?" the person inside the door threatened.
After saying this, the man who was pushed out immediately stopped talking. Obviously, he was afraid of being caught as a blind man.
He could only randomly pack up the thrown baggage and pick up the clothes thrown on the ground.
Xu Erlong slowly squatted down in front of him.
The man in front of me had hair as messy as a chicken coop. It hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time. It was still stained with sawdust. He had an unkempt beard and a messy look on his face.
"Yaba?" Xu Erlong called out softly.
Xu Chunsheng, who was picking up clothes, raised his head and looked at Xu Erlong in front of him with a look of disbelief: "Erlong?"
"Yaoba, it's really you." Xu Erlong sighed.
This person is Xu Chunsheng, who ran away from home.
Xu Erlong never expected that he would meet Xu Chunsheng in the capital.
Judging from his appearance, I don't know how long he has been wandering outside.
The relationship between Xu Erlong and Xu Chunsheng is not very close.
The main reason is that Xu Chunsheng spends a lot of time away from home, and when people come home, they also care about his precious son Xu Damin. Naturally, they are much less interested in his nephew Xu Erlong.
However, regardless of whether they are close or not, it is still an accident to encounter them in a foreign land.
"Yao dad, what happened just now?" Xu Erlong asked him: "What are you doing here? How can I drive you out?"
