Chapter 19: Pawn
As soon as Xu Min heard Lin Xiao's words, he ran over and sat down at the dinner table without hesitation, picked up the dishes and chopsticks neatly and ate them, without saying anything polite. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mm-hmm, it's so fragrant. ”
Bowl after bowl, and soon Xu Min patted his stomach with satisfaction, and saw Lin Xiao's surprised look.
"Look at what!" Xu Min widened his eyes, paused and said weakly: "Actually, my usual amount of food is very small, but I haven't eaten such a fragrant meal for a long time, and your skills are quite good." ”
Lin Xiao glanced into Xu Min's house, and sure enough, he saw a small basket of instant noodle buckets and takeaway lunch boxes, and he immediately understood.
However, out of the habit of practicing medicine and saving people, he reminded: "Diet is the foundation of a person, those things are just eaten occasionally, like yours who can't stand eating for a long time, in the future, you'd better learn to cook and eat by yourself, it's very simple." ”
"It's really troublesome, you'll do it anyway, can you make it for me every day in the future?" Xu Min's face suddenly fell, and he pleaded pitifully in a low voice.
His eyes were watery, as if he could talk and laugh, and under the gaze of these eyes, Lin Xiao couldn't help but blurt out:
"Of course!"
Although Xu Min looks very sweet and delicate like a doll, she really doesn't have many friends. In addition to chatting and farting on the Internet, now Zhongzhi is often different from Cheng Yan, and the behavior pattern of getting along with Cheng Yan has completely penetrated into her bones.
People are always accustomed to wearing masks, and over time the mask becomes a different face.
Just now, Xu Min was inadvertently swayed by the feelings he felt when he got along with Cheng Yan, and he didn't check for a while and said such ambiguous words, and when the two of them calmed down, they fell into silence together.
Xu Min, who was fickle and contradictory like a cat, suddenly became restrained and laughed at this time, and hurriedly swept away a few grains of rice at the bottom of the bowl and pushed the dishes and chopsticks aside: "I'm full!"
The whole person slipped into the house quickly and closed the door with his backhand.
A wry smile appeared on Lin Xiao's face, and he knew that this cute girl really had problems in interpersonal communication. She is sensitive and suspicious, but she longs for someone to tolerate and care about herself, so she is so dependent on Cheng Yan, and even can't help but exaggerate her situation to attract Cheng Yan's attention.
Xu Min is based on his trust in Cheng Yan, and Lin Xiao is committed to Cheng Yan, so both of them plan to work hard to get along. But who knows, because of an accident, they were too close to each other, and Xu Min, who was too sensitive, really couldn't accept such a rapid approach.
Although Lin Xiao knew the details of this very clearly, he didn't want to meddle in Xu Min's affairs at this time, after all, the two had just met.
"Xu Min, do you know that there is a pawn shop nearby?" he asked, unfamiliar with the neighborhood, knocking on Xu Min's door. Lin Xiao really should buy a mobile phone, and with only more than 200 yuan on him, he had to sell the gold chain in his hand first.
There was no sound, and when Lin Xiao was about to give up, Xu Min opened his mouth and replied:
"There is a pawnshop called Zijin Xing nearby, turn left from the east gate of Shangyuan University, about 300 meters later, see a cake shop and turn right, until you come to the location of the Internet café, the upstairs of the Internet café is this pawnshop. ”
"Thank you, that's a great help!"
Xu Min waited until the sound of footsteps sounded, and the sound of the door opening and closing came, and then opened the door and came out cautiously after a while. After she confirmed that Lin Xiao was really gone, she walked around the whole house, looking at the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and at the extra gift bags in the utility room.
Xu Min looked at the door a little distracted, and then let out a long sigh.
Xu Min knew that she would never live alone in this house again, and the future suddenly became very strange. At this time, the computer screen in Xu Min's room was showing a satellite map of the entire vicinity of Shangyuan University, and several minimized windows were maps and search results, obviously she was working very hard to answer Lin Xiao's question clearly.
Lin Xiao, who got the result from Xu Min's mouth, walked straight towards Shangyuan University, and soon found the pawnshop that Xu Min said.
The name sounded, and then it was nothing more than a ten-square-meter shop, with an old man with glasses sitting behind the counter reading the newspaper.
"Boss, look at how much this is worth?" Lin Xiao took out the gold necklace and put it on the counter.
"To live or to die?"
"Die!"
"Golden?"
The old man didn't wait for Lin Xiao to answer, so he took a magnifying glass and carefully looked at the luster of the necklace, and finally scraped the end of the necklace with a knife, and scratched and scratched the gold dust on the white paper with his fingers.
"Well, although the style of the necklace is not good, it can even be said that it was welded directly with a gold chain. However, it is indeed golden, and the condition is good. The old man's tone suddenly picked: "Little brother, I don't care where you got this goods, how about I take it at one hundred and eighty yuan a gram?"
Lin Xiao naturally had no opinion, and was nodding to agree.
A hearty laugh suddenly came from behind: "Old Hu, you haven't done enough authenticity this time! Now is the time when the price of gold has risen sharply, and the price of gold has been recycled at least two hundred and twenty-three, not to mention that there is no such thing as a bill, it is something that jewelry stores only need to recycle." ”
"Are you a freshman at Shangyuan University? Is it because of any difficulty in tuition fees that you can realize this chain? Our tuition fees at Shangyuan University can be completed through student loans, without interest for five years, if you don't know how to handle the procedures, I'll take you on a trip." ”
A middle-aged man walked out from behind Lin Xiao, completely ignoring the old man's stiff expression, turned his head to Lin Xiao and asked enthusiastically.
"The tuition fee has been paid, but the living expenses are still poor, although I have found a part-time job outside, but the salary will not be paid until the end of this month. For this good person who helped him when the road was uneven, Lin Xiao responded politely.
The middle-aged man nodded approvingly: "Mmmm, it's really good." Most of your classmates are still reveling in the joy of entering university, but you have managed to find a part-time job and start taking care of your own life. ”
"Hello, let me introduce you formally, I am Ye Daonan, a teacher in the history department of Shangyuan University. Ye Daonan laughed enthusiastically and stretched out his hand towards Lin Xiao.
Generally, when a teacher encounters a student, even if he appreciates it very much, he will not ask a few more words at most. But Ye Daonan wanted to shake hands with Lin Xiao, of course, because Ye Daonan had developed a habit in the West, but it could also be seen that he was enthusiastic and free.
Lin Xiao also responded to Ye Daonan's enthusiasm as a matter of course: "Hello, my name is Lin Xiao, a student of the History Department of Shangyuan University, in fact, I chose the History Department precisely because of the reputation of the Ye family." ”
Ye Fengchun and Ye Daonan, father and son, are world-renowned for their achievements in archaeology and history, and last year they published several sensational papers one after another, after which they were called the Ye family duo in the history and archaeology circles. If it weren't for the fact that the history department was too unpopular, the history department of Shangyuan University would definitely be crowded this year, but even so, the number of people this year will far exceed that of previous years.
"Hahaha, I said that there must be students here, the old man still doesn't believe it. Ye Daonan smiled even more happily, and couldn't help but give Lin Xiao a hug.
Then, under Ye Daonan's watch, the old man of the Zijin Pawnhouse did not have any room for small tricks, and quickly inspected the gold necklace in accordance with the regular process, and then signed a contract with Lin Xiao. The gold necklace totaled 16 grams, which cost 3,680 yuan.
"Old Hu, do you have any good goods in this batch?
When Lin Xiao's pawn was completed, Ye Daonan began to busy with his affairs, and asked Lao Hu with a smile, without any embarrassment at all about disturbing other people's business.
"Hmph, do you want to buy it again?"
Old man Hu snorted coldly, but he still obediently took out a few pieces of porcelain from under the counter carefully, because he knew that although Ye Daonan often didn't buy it just by looking at it, if he met something he liked, he would buy it anyway.
The porcelain is in a variety of states, some are intact, some are tattered, and there are even a few fragments, and it is clear that Old Man Hu is not only experienced in pawn trading, but also in antiques.
I saw that Ye Daonan carefully looked at each piece of porcelain, either stroking or knocking, sometimes frowning and sometimes suddenly realizing. But after the identification of the porcelain piece by piece, although the joy accumulated on Ye Daonan's face became heavier and heavier, he had no intention of buying it at all.
Ye Daonan suddenly got closer: "Old Hu, this time the color is good, honestly explain how much money you spent." ”
Old man Hu compared his fingers, and then looked at Ye Daonan expectantly.
"Earned, earned, old-hu, you have made a lot of money. Ye Daonan patted Old Man Hu's shoulder, with a look of longing in his eyes: "However, do you still have any goods?" ”
After seeing Old Man Hu shaking his head, Ye Daonan couldn't help but show a disappointed expression, and his mood suddenly became depressed. For Ye Daonan, there are long stories behind each of them, and when he identifies and plays with these antiques, he is also savoring these stories, which is a wonderful enjoyment for him.
Lin Xiao completely took Ye Daonan's expression in his eyes and immediately stepped forward. The reason why he asked someone to get an admission letter to the history department of Shangyuan University was originally to find out what was going on with the tripod tattoo on his arm, and now is the best opportunity.
"Mr. Ye, I have had this tripod pattern on my arm since I can remember, I really don't know when this tripod system came from, can you help me take a look?"
Ye Daonan, who had just been fished by Old Man Hu's antiques, couldn't help but look at it, at first he was a little careless, but soon let out a sound of surprise.
"Huh?"
