Not long after the front foot left, the waiter followed quietly.
The guy stepped forward.
The foreigner named George also returned to the store.
Really unable to find anyone willing to help him negotiate the price, George had no choice but to spend $900 to buy the jade plaque.
"Boss~ This is a nine hundred U.S. dollar knife. Here it is. Give me the jade token. Nine hundred dollars is nine hundred dollars. I accept it~"
After George entered the store, he said something sloppy, took out a stack of beautiful knives, and put them directly on the counter.
Looking at the beautiful knife, the shopkeeper swallowed his saliva.
He frowned and said, "Comrade, if you were so happy just now, the jade token would be yours too, wouldn't it? What a pity, the person just now bought it with coaxing and fraud!"
"God? Sold?"
"Yes, but don't worry, I still have it."
George's heart moved, and his eyes immediately shone.
"Where is it? Let me see quickly!"
The shopkeeper smiled slightly and took out a wooden box from under the counter. When he opened it, it was filled with carved pieces of Dushan jade.
There are jade pendants, jade rings, jade bracelets, jade finger rings, Pixiu, Ruyi, the flying tiger of Han Ba Dao, etc.
"This foreign friend, yellow-haired comrade, please take your fancy. These are all Dushan jade. Some of them are better than that jade brand. Take whichever one you like!"
George pocketed the money in disappointment.
"Where did that man go?"
"Hey! I don't want that jade token. It seems that this beautiful knife shouldn't be my property. The clerk in the store has followed him. Can you tell me why you have to get that jade token?"
"You are not qualified to know which direction he went?"
The shopkeeper curled his lips and said coldly: "Go to the east and find it yourself!"
George immediately went out and chased eastward.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but frowned and said to himself: "It's just a mid-range Dushan Jade brand, at most Jie Fangqian. Is it necessary to grab it like this? Damn, I've been in this business for most of my life.
, will you make mistakes?"
After Xu Damao received the jade plaque, he didn't take a walk in Liulichang, but took the car directly back home.
The shop clerk saw him getting on the bus and then returned, but he didn't know why.
When I turned around, I happened to meet George.
"Where is that person?" the foreigner asked with his feet raised.
When the waiter saw the foreigner asking this, he thought that the foreigner and Xu Damao were going to bypass the store and do business on their own.
Angrily, he pointed at the bus that was already far away.
"Bus No. 3, go after it yourself, trough! He's just a scoundrel who doesn't understand the rules. He thought he was a plainclothes man who came to conduct a secret investigation. How can he be scary?"
When George saw that the bus was already far away and it was impossible to run after it, he immediately took out two 10-yuan bills.
Apparently he exchanged it at a bank after arriving in the capital.
"You ride and take me to chase you, the money is for your hard work!"
The clerk rolled his eyes and smiled: "50, I'll take a shortcut to the next bus stop for No. 3."
"Okay! Fifty is fifty!"
Of course the store clerk was not willing to let go of the extra money, so he borrowed two bicycles from a nearby store and took a shortcut with George.
Xu Damao met something good on his first day of exploring, something Lin Zhen had specially ordered before.
After using special means to get it back, I couldn't be happier.
I was sitting on the bus and humming a little tune. I closed my eyes and leaned on the seat, feeling very uncomfortable.
He didn't notice at all that when he stopped for the third time after getting on the bus, foreigner George had already got on the bus.
Sitting not far behind him, staring at Xu Damao coldly.
Xu Damao was originally going to go home, but after thinking about it in his heart, Lin Zhen wouldn't be able to come back for at least three days.
It's a bit too impatient to wait for Lin Zhen to come back at home.
It's better to leave it to Lou Xiao'e directly. Since Lin Zhen is not in Sijiu City anyway, Lou Xiao'e has the final say in everything.
Thinking of this, Xu Damao went directly to Bacui Tower.
Lou Xiao'e is looking at the list in the office.
Lin Dong and Lin Liang are helping her organize information.
Yu Li knocked on the door and came in: "Xiao'e, Xu Damao came to see you and said he had something to gain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Damao entered the room proudly.
He put the jade plaque directly on the desk.
"Hehe, the second piece, I thought I would never meet him again. What a coincidence, I met him just after arriving at Liulichang today."
Lou Xiao'e picked it up and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Yin Yuan? There really is a second piece. If you put it that way, there are also a third, fourth, and fifth piece. Xu Damao, this is really a big harvest!"
Lin Dong and Lin Liang also hurried over, took the jade plaque and examined it carefully.
Xu Damao said in surprise: "Eh? Do you recognize the characters on it? Do you know what brand this is?"
Yu Li also gathered around curiously.
Lou Xiao'e said: "These two seal characters are written as Yin Yuan, while the other side is engraved with Yin Yuan Star."
Xu Damao asked doubtfully: "Yin Yuan Star, isn't this the Big Dipper?"
"Yes, it is the Big Dipper, but there are two dark stars above and below the handle. The upper one is Dongming, and the lower one is Yin Yuan. They are also called Zuo Fu You Bi. They assist the Big Dipper to revolve around the North Star.
.”
Xu Damao was confused, "Why should you assist Beiduxing?"
Lou Xiao'e said: "The North Star governs the Hehan stars and is the supreme symbol in the culture of our ancestors. The Big Dipper is like a country, with a master and ministers, civil and military forces, laws, orders and soldiers. Dongming and Yinyuan are to assist in the governance of the country.
of the world."
Yu Li was like listening to a book from heaven, "Lin Zhen told you this? It's too mysterious!"
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "The ideas about Dongming and Yinyuan were guessed by Lin Zhen, and the rest were learned when I was in school. These records can be found in ancient books."
Lin Dong said: "Our ancestors also did a lot of exploring the starry sky, but in ancient times they were not tested in the imperial examination."
Lin Liang said: "My dad said that Dongming Yin Yuan may be two supergiant stars, but they have already exploded as a supernova in prehistory, so they cannot be seen now."
Xu Damao and Yu Li looked at each other, one more confused than the other.
"Uh... Xiao'e, what is this sign for? Is it enshrined in a Taoist temple?"
"No, this should be a special identity card for members of an ancient organization. This sect is Yin Yuan."
Yu Li shook her head, "Forget it, I won't listen to the book today. You guys can talk, I'll go to the lobby."
Xu Damao thought for a while and asked doubtfully: "Is Lin Gong looking for someone from the Yin Yuan Sect?"
Lou Xiao'e said: "I don't know about this. I haven't asked him carefully, but I think if there is an organization called Yin Yuanmen that secretly helps the country, then he has declined or even disappeared."
Xu Damao was surprised and asked: "Will such a powerful sect disappear?"
"What is this? Isn't the Mo family just an example?"
While talking, Yu Li turned back again.
Xu Damao joked: "Eh? Yu Li, don't you listen to the Book of Heaven? Why are you back?"
Yu Li said: "You still have the nerve to say that there is a foreigner outside who is looking for you and said he saw you entering the Bacui Tower. How did you get this jade medal?"
"Oops, I forgot about this! When I bought this brand, something happened."
Xu Damao then recounted in detail how he met the foreigner George in Liulichang.
Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "It seems that this is a person who knows the details. He is here for the Yinyuan Sect."
Xu Damao was shocked and immediately said: "How about calling Lin Gong? No, Lin Gong and the others are in the car now and can't receive the call. Otherwise, call Sun Antang, the section chief of the security department of the steel rolling mill.
Call us and send this foreigner back to the country directly!"
Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said: "Our country has reformed its policies. People have gone through formal procedures. Why do you deport them?"
"I……"
"Forget it, you go help in the kitchen. Yu Li, tell this foreigner that the person he is looking for left through the back door and we don't know him. Let him report the crime and find a way to send him away."
Xu Damao and Yu Li nodded and immediately turned around and went out.
After the two left, Lin Dong and Lin Liang asked: "Mom, if that foreigner came here for the jade plaque, I'm afraid Aunt Yu won't be able to send him away with a few words."
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "If you can't get rid of him, it proves that he is really coming for the Yin Yuan Sect. If you just follow me to trap him, it doesn't matter what you can ask for your father. If you can't ask, we will just pretend to be stupid."
Drive him away."
After a while, Yu Li came to the office with some embarrassment.
"Xiao'e, this foreigner is so stubborn that he won't leave at all. Moreover, he doesn't want to see Xu Damao anymore. He insists on seeing the general manager."
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Take him to the private room, I will take Lin Dong and Lin Liang there to take a look."
George was still very surprised after seeing Lou Xiao'e.
He said in a sly tone: "I didn't expect that the owner of the big restaurant is actually a woman. Why did you send someone to snatch the jade plaque from me?"
Lou Xiaoe asked curiously: "What jade sign? I think you are from a foreign country, so I made an exception to see you. If you make trouble unreasonably, please leave quickly. When you come to us, you should abide by our laws and morals."
George looked at Lou Xiao'e, then at Lin Dong and Lin Liang. To be honest, even though he was well-informed, he was overwhelmed by the aura of the three people in front of him.
He was a little arrogant at first, but now he has become humble.
She smiled slightly and said: "Madam, my name is George. I come from the east of the Pacific. I'm sorry to bother you. I came here chasing a jade plaque."
Lou Xiao'e said: "We are a restaurant, not an antique market. You have come to the wrong place."
"No, I walked around the area before entering the restaurant. That person didn't leave at all. Don't lie to me. I was the first to take a fancy to that jade plaque and asked him to buy it for me. He didn't help me.
Is it your tradition to scare the shopkeeper into cutting off my hair? If that’s the case, I can’t do as the Romans do.”
Lou Xiao'e was not angry and said calmly: "You haven't answered me yet about what kind of jade plaque it is. Even if you ask me to help you find it, you still have to be polite, right? When you come to our country of etiquette, you don't even learn the most basic courtesy.
?"
"Oh! Sorry, it's my fault. I was too anxious and too concerned about that jade plaque. Madam, please forgive me for being rude. In fact, the jade plaque I am chasing is a relic of my grandpa. It is very important to me.
If you can raise your hand and give it to me, I will compensate you 900 US dollars."
Lou Xiao'e couldn't help laughing, "Is your grandpa a native of Xia?"
"Yes, I am a mixed-race person. I have been waiting for the opportunity to come here to look for his relics. As soon as you changed the opening, I hurriedly completed the procedures and came over!"
loud
I asked you to take him out of the country."
"Oh, ma'am, I didn't lie, I..."
Lin Dong raised his hand and interrupted George, "You don't have any yellow characteristics in your body. Let alone your grandpa, even your grandpa's father has nothing to do with yellow people."
Lin Liang said: "Since you are dishonest, don't think that others can help you. We don't have time to chat with you here!"
