Fatty Wang then said, he didn't lie to me. When I wanted to sell it, he told me that this jade is valuable and will appreciate in value if I keep it. If I am not in a hurry to use the money, I can put it away. Hu Bayi was stunned when he heard that there were still people like this in business. In his impression, there was no one in the antique business who was not deceptive.

Fatty Wang went on to say that the boss gave him 30,000 yuan, which was quite a lot. I had been asking about it in Panjiayuan a few days ago, and the most he gave me was a few thousand yuan. The one with bad intentions would only give him a few hundred yuan. I also saw that it was a newly opened shop, so I went in to give it a try. Unexpectedly, the boss was really a real person.

When Lao Hu heard that the jade was worth 30,000 yuan, he was shocked. He had served in the army until he was a company commander, and the demobilization fee was less than 3,000 yuan. 30,000 yuan was really a lot. He looked at it again After looking at Fatty Wang, I felt that this fat guy had nothing but a body of flesh, and he would not be a trap. If it really sold for 30,000 yuan, it would still be worth it. There was no need to ask for it back. Besides, he really had nowhere to find 30,000 yuan to redeem the jade pendant.

Fatty Wang said again, there are many people making money in the antique business nowadays. As long as you have good eyesight, getting rich is not a problem. Lao Hu said, the problem is that we don’t have the vision. The fat man said, we don’t have it, but the boss who bought me the jade pendant does. We can get close to him and learn more from him. That young man is quite nice. Seeing me going out with so much money, he even reminded me I'm careful. It seems that my fat man is lucky enough to always meet friends with whom he can make friends sincerely. Old Hu, I will take you to his shop tomorrow and you can see how they are doing.

After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, they returned to Fatty Wang's residence. Lao Hu also planned to do something with Fatty Wang in the future.

When he got up the next day, the fat man called Hu Bayi to have breakfast in the alley, and then took him around Beijing, making a pretense of revisiting old places, because the fat man had money in his hands, and he had been spending so much time in the past few days. The two brothers had a good time.

A few days later, Fatty Wang was going to take Hu Bayi out to play again. Hu Bayi said as a fat man, it’s not good for us to be so skilled and idle all the time. I also want to earn some money and mail it to the homes of my comrades who died. Those comrades of mine Although my family receives subsidies from the state, it is still very difficult for the children to go to school when the elderly at home are sick. I think I can do my best by helping a little bit.

Fatty, didn't you say you wanted to start an antique business before? Let's go to the antique shop you mentioned and see if we can learn more from them.

The fat man thought it was right when he heard it. If you don't earn it, spend it all. The money is spent really fast. We just left as soon as we could. After discussing it, they walked towards my Suiyuanzhai.

I just got up at this time, finished cleaning up, opened the door, ate wontons at the store next door, and returned to my own store to make a pot of tea to refresh myself. The tea had just been brewed and before it was evenly divided, the fat man poured Hu Bayi into it. Brought it to the store. I saw Fatty Wang coming, invited them to sit down, and gave them tea. Brother Wang, is this what you call growing small? His figure is much better than yours, I said to Fatty Wang with a smile.

Fatty Wang glanced at his own belly and then at Lao Hu's. He chuckled and said to me,"Can I compare with him? He's just demobilized from the army. Isn't his figure good?" I don't think I had such a big belly back then.

Lao Hu looked around when he entered the store. Hearing me joking with the fat man, he also smiled and said, I have gained a lot of weight in the past few days. What do you call this boss? My name is Zhao Xiaobei. You are all older than me, so just call me Xiaobei. Old Hu said, boss, your store is quite unique. Brother Hu took a look at it casually. The things on display outside are only good-looking. Real things cannot be displayed outside. If someone were to surprise him, tens of thousands of dollars would not be able to stop them from breaking one or two pieces....

Lao Hu is still interested in these things. He heard his grandfather talk about some antiques when he was a child. He looked at the calligraphy and paintings, and then looked at the porcelain. When he walked to my desk, he saw it and looked through the things on it. of the I Ching, and an exquisite steel compass. I put those there specially. If you share the same hobbies with the protagonist, it can increase your goodwill. As expected, Lao Hu was very kind when he saw the compass. Although he knew the secret technique of Feng Shui, he still didn't look like having a compass in the army. Besides, even though it was an item passed down from his ancestors, he really wanted to get one. It's not an easy thing. Most of these things were damaged when the Four Olds were destroyed. What I put on the table was something I found at a street stall when I was shopping. It should be from the Ming Dynasty and has such value, but not many people know about it now, so I only spent 20 yuan on it.

Old Hu picked up the compass and looked at it carefully. Fatty Wang walked over after looking at it, snatched it from Old Hu's hand, and turned it over to see what it was and why there were so many words on it. Lao Hu was about to say something, but I didn't answer it. It's a Feng Shui compass. Its function is a bit like an ordinary compass, but this function is more complicated. It contains the Qimen Bagua and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. , twenty-four directions. It takes more than a day and a half to understand this thing. There are many ways to do it. When the fat man heard that it was so complicated, he didn't bother to think about it. He put the compass directly into Lao Hu's hand. Lao Hu, keep reading. This is a tool for your profession.

When I heard Fatty Wang say this, I pretended not to know and looked at Old Hu. Brother Hu is from the Feng Shui Sect.

Old nonsense, no, it’s just some Feng Shui books passed down from my family, which I studied myself. As soon as I heard this, I immediately stepped forward and held Lao Hu's hand. Brother Hu, I am very interested in this, but there is no place to learn it. I can only study it by myself. Brother Hu, please teach me more sometimes. I will call you in the future. Teacher Hu.

Just when we shook hands, I copied Hu Bayi's memory. This way, even if they don't ask me to form a team, I can still find the ancient tomb by myself according to the sixteen-character Feng Shui secret technique and the plot in my memory. , you can’t always rely on others.

When Hu Bayi saw my eager eyes, he felt a little unnatural. He pulled back and patted me on the shoulder and said, don't call me teacher, just call me Brother Hu. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask me.

We had a great time chatting. I told Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi that the two eldest brothers should not go back at noon. Just cook the mutton here while I go out to buy some food. I also have a backyard here, and now I am eating hot pot outside. Pretty good too. I took my wallet from the desk. Brother Wang, please help me look after the store. If there are guests, let them have tea. Wait for me for a while, and I will be back soon. The two of them saw my enthusiasm and wanted to make friends, so they didn't refuse. Fatty Wang said to me,"Okay, don't worry, I will take care of the store for you."
