Yes, this time I traveled to an era where the old and the new changed.
After finding out his identity, Jiang Que couldn't help but smile bitterly and murmured: "It turns out that he is just a poor Taoist priest, which is quite pitiful. Fortunately, I carry a lot of gold and silver jewelry with me. I can exchange them for some money by pawning them off.
"
There is nothing to worry about in this regard. When he was in the previous world, he plundered a lot of property, and he could exchange a lot of money for whatever he took out.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of earth!"
Before he saw the person, he heard his voice first. The rough and wild voice carried quite far. Jiang Chi was stunned when he heard it, and said to himself: "Is there anyone else coming?"
Although he was curious, he still instinctively replied, "The pagoda suppresses the river demon!"
When he opened the door, he saw a round-faced fat man with a beard and long hair. Before Jiang Chi could say anything, the fat man said, "Old Jiang, I haven't seen you for a few months. You don't recognize me?"
Has the king made a triumphant return?"
Jiang Chi widened his eyes and said with astonishment on his face: "Wait a minute, you just said your name is Wang Kaixuan?"
On the side, the fat man said in confusion: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Then do you have a brother named Hu Bayi?" Jiang Chi immediately asked again: "Answer me seriously and don't hide it."
"yes!"
Wang Kaixuan was stunned and said quickly: "Lao Jiang, have you been a Taoist priest for a long time and your brain is no longer working?
Are you so quick to forget the friendship we had when we carried guns and fought in battles together?"
As he spoke, he took the opportunity to touch Jiang Chi's forehead and muttered, "You don't even have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"
"Forehead."
After being tricked by Wang Kaixuan, Jiang Chi suddenly realized that he had come to this world, no wonder he felt a little familiar.
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to say: "I remembered it as soon as you said it. By the way, how have your tape sales been recently?"
When Wang Kaixuan heard about this, he didn't want to lose his reputation, so he explained: "Well, just make a living. If you can't get rich, you won't starve to death.
Lao Jiang, what about you?
Didn’t you get swept away when we were cleaning up the Four Olds a few years ago?”
The serious and concerned look on his face moved Jiang Qian, and he said with a smile: "How can it be possible? After all, we have been on the battlefield together and killed the enemy. We have worn a pair of trousers and resisted a gun. We can't be hit, right?"
He pulled Wang Kaixuan inside and found a random chair for him to sit down.
He poured another glass of water and asked: "Fat man, why are you free to come to see me today? Do you want me to help you with Feng Shui?"
He was joking sarcastically, but he remembered that Wang Kaixuan was very poor.
As for how poor he is, it can be seen from the fact that he only eats noodles every day for three days. He really can't make money by selling tapes, so he might as well go out and perform a ritual.
Wang Kaixuan sat down and said with a smile: "Lao Jiang, Mr. Jiang, Lao Hu said he wanted to come see me a few days ago. I don't have much money at this time, so I want to ask you to borrow some money to save me."
To put it bluntly, borrow money.
If it were in the past, Jiang Qian would never be able to borrow it.
But now, it's different.
He nodded and asked, "Why, Lao Hu has figured it out and is coming over?"
"yes."
Wang Kaixuan explained, "He stopped working after he was demobilized and changed his job. He returned to his hometown for a while and recently wrote a letter saying that he wanted to make a living here.
I don’t think it’s easy for people to come all the way here, and it would be too much if I didn’t even invite them to have a meal, but Mr. Jiang, you also know that my business is not doing well these days.”
The attitude of talking big at the beginning suddenly turned 180 degrees.
But this is not surprising, as Jiang Chi had expected it.
After a while, he said to Wang Kaixuan: "Fat man, you are not being honest. I think back then, you and I, and Lao Hu, we were the best buddies.
How could you not inform me if he was coming over?
Let's do this. When the time comes, I'll pay him, and I'll say that we invited him together, and invite him to go out to the restaurant, cook the mutton, and have a few good meals.
It just so happens that Mr. Jiang and I have made a lot of money recently by helping foreigners to read Feng Shui. It would be a pity not to go out and spend money. Anyway, money will last forever.
By the way, when will Lao Hu come?
When the time comes, let’s go to the train station to pick him up and let him experience the elegance of the big city.”
Hearing Jiang Qian's words, Wang Kaixuan felt his eyes light up and said happily: "Master Jiang, you..."
He seemed to be so excited that he couldn't speak. He probably didn't expect Jiang Chi to be so generous. Instead, he had underestimated the Taoist priest before and thought he was just cheating on him.
He hugged Jiang Que fiercely, and he was moved and said: "Master Jiang, you are really my life-saving Bodhisattva. This way Lao Hu won't be embarrassed when he comes, hehe!"
He was still a little embarrassed when he said this.
Not even a penny can faze the heroic man. When he was killing enemies on the battlefield, he never imagined that his future life would be so embarrassing.
As it is now, it looks pretty good.
He always felt that he and Jiang Chi were the same kind of people - the kind of people who were poor and about to starve to death.
But he never expected that Jiang Qian suddenly changed and became rich. He also planned to invite Lao Hu to a restaurant to cook mutton. He was really saving some money.
Seeing this, Jiang Chi said calmly: "Okay, fat man, I don't want to be gay, please let go quickly, or else I'll get in trouble with you."
Wang Kaixuan then let go and smiled coquettishly: "Master Jiang, you don't even have a car. How about I bring my broken three-wheeler here and then we go to the train station to pick up Lao Hu?"
Jiang Que nodded in astonishment and said casually: "Okay, then I'll do as you say. It just so happens that I don't have much room to stay here, so I'll go to your place which is slightly more spacious than mine.
It’s up to me to treat Lao Hu to dinner.”
He immediately made a sure decision.
He originally thought that he might have nothing to do with Hu Bayi, but after Wang Kaixuan reminded him, he suddenly remembered the diary in his notebook. The three of them had a good friendship.
It would be a good idea to go to the ancient city of Jingjue with Hu Bayi, so we agreed to treat guests to dinner smoothly.
Jewelry, gold and silver are not very valuable these days. Only some antiques, porcelain and Chinese paintings are valuable. Back then, he harvested a lot of famous paintings from the treasury of an island country. He would definitely use them to fool a few foreigners.
OK.
Immediately, I made up my mind that he would go out at noon.
Wang Kaixuan nodded and said to Jiang Que: "Well, Mr. Jiang, the place where you live is really too narrow. It's even narrower than where I live, so go to my place."
His place was at least a little better, at least better than Jiang Qian's place.
But recently, Jiang Chi has also become prosperous.
After casually revealing a few famous paintings, he said to Wang Kaixuan: "Fat man, come with me and sell all these paintings. I believe those foreigners will buy them, hehe!"
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he felt happy.
He didn't know about the painting industry, but it didn't hurt to go with Jiang Chi and have a look.
In the afternoon, Wang Kaixuan didn't say a word.
It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but he was frightened out of his wits by Jiang Qian.
A broken painting was actually sold for tens of millions of dollars. Even though I had to bargain with those gringos all the way, it was finally sold for thirty million dollars.
