Chapter 40: The Antique Market (5)
"Ancient place, smoke a cigarette ......"
"Ancient place, come, eat a popsicle......"
"Gushi, let's have a drink, it's frozen in the refrigerator in the morning......"
Following Director Gu into the antique market, Fang Yi and the others were almost dumbfounded, as long as they set up a stall in the market, no matter what objects they were selling, they all rushed to greet Director Gu, and there were even merchants who sold the fan with Qin Huai Bayan painted on it, and they directly ran over to fan Director Gu.
"Well, you're busy, you're busy, I'll take a look at ......"
As soon as he got out of the air-conditioned room, Director Gu's white sweatshirt was basically soaked, and before he walked twenty meters out of the market, he beckoned to the staff of the management office who were hiding in the shade.
"Erliu, take the boss and Xiao Fang to see where there is still a vacant position......"
Director Gu wiped his sweat with a towel and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, choose a good position for Xiao Fang, I'll go back first, and you can come to the office with Boss Man at noon......"
"Gu Zhi, don't worry, Brother Man's friend, then you have to choose a good position......" Xiao Liu's eyes glanced at Fang Yi, and he watched the leader leave very respectfully.
"Er Liu, let people give up the position at my door?" After Director Gu left, Man Jun's eyes looked at Er Liu, there are two people surnamed Liu in the antique market management office, the older one is called Da Liu, and this one in front of him is Er Liu.
If you want to say the location in this antique market, it should be the best at the entrance of the Manjun store, but there have always been people setting up stalls there, and a few days ago it was just changed, and the Manchu army wanted to take advantage of the short time of the person to come over.
"Hmm, Er Liu, your brother Man won't even have this face, right?"
Seeing that Er Liu frowned after hearing his words, the Manchu army was also a little unhappy, he didn't invite these people to eat and drink on weekdays, so this little thing was not mentioned to Director Gu just now, and he originally wanted to find someone below to do it.
"Brother Man, what are you talking about, your face is absolutely ......good for me" Hearing the unhappiness in Manjun's words, Er Liu said with some embarrassment: "Brother Man, the one at your door, but it's a relative of the ancient director's family......"
They are all mixed in this antique market, it can be said that they don't look up and don't look down, and temporary workers like Er Liu generally don't offend a boss like Manjun, but he knows that the person who set up a stall at the door of Manjun's shop is a cousin of Director Gu's wife, and he doesn't dare to let that person move his position.
"It turned out to be a relative of Director Gu, then forget it......" Man Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and shook his head with a wry smile, fortunately he didn't talk to Director Gu just now, otherwise I am afraid that he would be bored.
Erliu glanced around the street and said, "Brother Man, why don't I let people squeeze a seat out on the left side of your shop, where the sun can't shine in the afternoon, and the practice stall can be a little more comfortable......"
The stalls in the antique market, that is also exquisite, generally speaking, there are few tourists in the morning, and many stalls are not out of the stalls, which also leads to the stalls that occupy the shady place at noon and in the afternoon.
"Okay, that's a good location......" Man Jun looked at the place where Er Liu was fingering, nodded, and said, "That's it, Er Liu, you can take care of my brothers in the future......
As he spoke, the Manchu army quietly stuffed a pack of Chinese cigarettes into Er Liu's pocket, as the saying goes, Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, and Director Gu usually doesn't come to the antique market, and generally has to find Er Liu to deal with it.
"Brother Man, isn't your brother our brother?" Er Liu's scene was also very beautiful, and he followed Fang Yi and them into Manjun's shop very diligently.
"Fang Yi, pack up your things, you can put the stall on the table......" Man Jun said: "Er Liu, you help them to talk, and then come over for tea......"
"Brother Man, leave this matter to me......" Er Liu agreed, and when Fang Yi and the others took their things, they walked out with a few people.
The people in the management office said that they wanted to squeeze a stall out, and even if the people outside were reluctant, they gave up a space, Fang Yi set up a bench on the ground and put the flat cabinet on it, and the three guns began to put things in the cabinet.
"Xiao Fang, set up a stall here, just remember one thing......" Before leaving, Er Liu explained to Fang Yi and a few people, "That is, don't meddle in your business, just do your business......"
"Nosy, what do you mean?"
After Er Liu left, the fat man pursed his lips and didn't think much about it, his mind was completely on the stall in front of him, although the business was not big, but how to say that it was also the business of the brothers, and he no longer had to work for people to look at his face.
"This big brother, what do you call it?" Fang Yi and San Pao were busy setting up the stall, and the fat man was close to the vendor next to him, "We are Brother Man's little brothers, and we will trouble the old brother to take care of it in the future......"
"My surname is Ma, just call me Lao Ma......"
The stall next to it sells some bronzes and porcelain vases, which does not conflict with the things on Fang Yi's stall, not peers, naturally not enemies, that person is also willing to befriend the fat man, after all, the Manchu army still has some face on this street.
To say that this stall is really simple, after the stall is set up, Fang Yi and the others have nothing to do.
The antique business is not particular about shouting, it is purely Jiang Taigong's fishing...... After the wisher took the bait and ran to Manjun's shop and poured a large glass of water, Brother Fang Yi and the third brother chatted with the people in the stall next to him, but among the three of them, the fat man said the most, and Fang Yi and the three guns basically only listened and did not speak.
"Fang Yi, will you go to dinner with me?" After about half an hour, Man Jun locked the door of the store and walked over, and asked with a smile: "How is it, has it opened?"
"Not yet, there are only a few ...... who ask" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said: "Brother Man, we won't go to dinner, just go back and buy a boxed lunch to make do with it......"
Fang Yi knew that the Manchu army was very good to their brothers, but everything had to be measured, you must know that the Manchu army helped them with affection, and it was their duty not to help, sometimes they had to master the heat in the middle, otherwise it would give people a feeling of kicking their noses in the face.
"That's okay, to do business, you have to look like you're doing business......"
Man Jun nodded when he heard this, he was also so bitter back then, and there was no box lunch to eat at that time, Man Jun steamed rice at home in the morning and brought some food, just made do with it for a day, which was much worse than Fang Yi's conditions now.
"Brother Ma, I asked for an extra meal for you, let's eat together......"
There is a place to eat fast food near the antique market, and the fat man used to buy four portions of fast food for five yuan, and after returning to the stall, he handed a copy to Brother Ma who had been chatting just now, but this was because of a few vendors around, and Brother Ma was the hottest to them.
"Oh, Huazi, thank you......"
After receiving the fast food handed by the fat man, Brother Ma couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, don't look at the young age of these people, but they are quite good at things, you know, the people in the antique market are all doing their own things, who will buy food for others.
"Thank you, Brother Ma, just teach our brothers a few more......"
The fat man smiled innocently, their brothers knew in their hearts that the Manchu army had already brought them into the industry, and it would be up to them to do well in the future.
Not to mention, just such a five-yuan boxed lunch really works, after eating, Lao Ma told Fang Yi a few people, what kind of people are buyers in this market, what kind of people are pure tourists, and how to distinguish between these two types of people.
Lao Ma not only said, but also taught by word and deed, a few people came over one after another, Lao Ma could judge whether they bought or not, and slowly Fang Yi and others also saw a little bit of the doorway, and when they met the kind of people who seemed to be buyers, they were also a little enthusiastic when they introduced things.
"Xiao Fang, what you sell is a cultural play, this cultural play is to play, don't leave your hands empty, each person wears a few strings on their hands and necks, and they can also let the guests see the effect......
And the price of this new bead and the pulped beads is also different, if some guests fancy your own play, the price is not surprising several times, so usually you have nothing to wear more plates, someone wants to sell ......"
In the face of these studious young people, Lao Ma is also willing to teach, he has been mixed in the antique market for some years, although he does not do the trading of cultural toys, but he also has a few strings of beads in his hands, usually nothing to do on a plate, the pulp is very good.
"That's what I said......" Hearing Lao Ma's words, Fang Yi nodded, Fang Yi put the strings of beads left by the master at home, he was usually used to wearing these things, and he really didn't feel used to it without an object in his hand.
"Fatty, Brother Man said, King Kong wants to be raised with sweat, and you will wear King Kong ...... when you sweat."
Fang Yi took two strings of one hundred and hundred little King Kong and hung them on the fat man's neck, and took a string of stars and moons and gave them three cannons, Fang Yi has practiced for many years, although it is not called cold and summer, but it is usually a hot day, and his hands are not sweating much, and he immediately took a string of beads of small leaf red sandalwood in his hand and played with it.
Chaotian Palace is not far from the Qinhuai River, it is also one of the places of interest in Jinling, the flow of people is not lacking, at one o'clock in the afternoon, there are gradually more tourists, and there are more people who look at things and ask the price, but this first business has not been able to be concluded.
"These people, why don't you just ask?" The fat man was a little deflated, sat back, and said: "Brother Yi, three guns, you two will take a while, fat man, I want to take a break......"
"It's so lazy to do, no one is as energetic as you at the beginning......" Growing up together, Fang Yi and Sanpao naturally knew the temperament of the fat man, so they turned around and took a sip of him.
Who knew that before Fang Yi and Sanpao could turn around, the fat man suddenly squeezed away as if he had eaten gunpowder, squeezed the two of them and stood in front of the stall, and said with a simple face: "Hey, this young lady, what do you want to buy? Do you want me to introduce you?"
