Chapter 90 The Market Opens
There is a plaque on the upper floor at the end of the street, the word "Beichen" is written on it, the font is the majestic official book, and the design and decoration of the whole building are stable and atmospheric style, which is incompatible with the little treacherous atmosphere everywhere in this ghost city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's as if the building appeared out of nowhere.
"It's really eye-catching, it looks like the second Duangu Zhai backyard. Lu Hexi stood downstairs and looked up at the plaque of the Beichen high-rise building.
"Six years ago, this was the most dilapidated place on the whole street, and your Zhou family's shop was inside. ”
Zhou Shenxi stretched out his hand and pulled off a small piece of lacquer, the big lacquer was very thick, this place was not in charge of him at the beginning, grandpa handed over all this place to the second uncle to take care of, he didn't ask, and grandpa didn't take care of it. But this building is indeed far from the crumbling appearance in my memory.
"After the Northern Expeditionary Army entered Beijing, if you want to build such a building, even if you refer to the current market price, remove these jewels, gems and precious wood, you have to invest at least 30,000 oceans into it. If all of them are added, there will be at least 1.5 million inputs. Lu Hexi crackled the abacus in his heart, "Where are the expenses of the Zhou family concentrated, how much is the income, how much is the bulk expenditure, Shenxi, do you have a plan in your heart?"
Zhou Shenxi silently recalled the account books that he had redeemed two days ago, there was no problem with Duangu Zhai's account, and the accounts of the ghost market were generally reconciled on a monthly basis.
The person who reconciled the accounts has always been grandpa, and if there is any problem here, grandpa and Steward Zhou should find out. And if the construction of the Beichen high-rise building in the ghost city really costs such a large amount of money, he should know.
"The money is not on the books. Zhou Shenxi was very sure that there was no money on the books.
Lu Hexi let out an "oh", and his sharp eyes were locked on the two people sitting by the window on the second floor, one was Zhou Shenxi's second uncle, and the other was an old man, with gray hair, although he was laughing, but that somewhat sinister appearance was still easy to make people feel disgusted, "It seems that your second uncle has found a big money owner in Beiping." ”
"Who?" Zhou Shenxi also saw the man, but he didn't know him.
Zhang Yigui laughed twice and said: "The former prince of the dynasty, the current Yunan, I can't imagine that the previous dynasty is gone, and this old man is quite rich." “
The person who has a close conversation with the second uncle of the Zhou family is Yu Nan, the Jade King Mansion, who lacks everything and is not short of money, and it is quite cost-effective to throw out a small profit to buy a second-in-command of the Zhou family.
"Are we going up now?" Lu Hexi asked.
Zhou Shenxi shook his head and said, "There is a person who wants to sell something tonight, and it is in the ghost market, and the scene must be even grander than the auction hall in Duangu Zhai." If Yunan also gets the news, they will definitely come forward. He smiled, "When the time comes, we'll go over and raise the price." “
Lu Hexi intuitively felt that the mysterious lot tonight was a golden silk nanmu box, and now she had one in her hand, Zong Wei had one in her hand, and Yu Nan had one in her hand, and there was also a box that would appear in the ghost market tonight, and this thought became stronger and stronger in his heart.
"There is a small shop in the small square where the beef noodles taste good, and the knife customers in the northwest open it, and it will be open for a few days a month, so let's try it." Zhang Yigui saw that the two of them obviously didn't plan to enter the building, so he proposed to eat noodles, it was almost evening, and dinner had not yet arrived.
The noodle shop of Northwest Daoke has been open here for many years, and it has been doing business only three days a month, and the only things I buy are noodles and beef, and I always feel that the sand has fallen into the wine. The knife man uses a long knife to cut a few thick pieces of beef, put them in the noodle bowl handed out of the small window in the kitchen, and then put them on the counter for the guests to carry away.
The guests could only see a swordsman dressed in black, collecting money, cutting beef, and filling large bottles of wine, and no one knew who made the noodles, and no one had ever seen the man.
The noodles are fragrant.
Lu Hexi picked up a large piece of beef and took a bite, the beef is very strong, and the noodles are also strong, if people with bad teeth are estimated to give up this bowl of deliciousness.
"The noodles still taste like this, and everything in Beiping City has finally changed. Zhang Yigui looked at the counter, and the swordsman nodded at him, obviously recognizing him, but didn't say anything.
Zhou Shenxi's movements are very elegant when he eats noodles, how many bites he eats, how many bites and a mouthful of soup he eats; when Lu Hexi eats noodles, he first stuffs a mouthful, and then puffs up his cheeks and chews slowly, while Zhang Yigui eats noodles but the sound of sucking noodles is vigorous, I am afraid that even the people who set up stalls downstairs can hear the sound of him eating noodles.
Coincidentally, the stall setter did hear it.
The old eunuch just wanted to take a nap, and he could always hear the sound of a person snoring and eating noodles upstairs, this sound was quite familiar, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly opened his eyes, Zhang Yigui, who set up a stall next to him a few years ago, didn't eat noodles like this, a bowl of noodles shook the ground, and he couldn't forget the sound after six years.
The old eunuch remembered the two young juniors he had just reminded, and there was an old man standing behind them, although he felt strange at first glance, but now that he thinks about it, isn't it Zhang Yigui!
Zhang Yigui is back!
The old eunuch sat up straight, and the old guy followed behind the two young juniors, looking like he regarded the two as masters - two young dolls, who looked no more than ten years old, could get Zhang Yigui as a servant, what should the two be.
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted that he hadn't taken a closer look at the two dolls.
When he was annoyed, a man suddenly stood beside him, and the man raised his head, as if attracted by the sound of eating noodles upstairs, and he paused for a moment before raising his feet again and walking towards the north.
Zhang Yigui looked at the back of the man twice, if he was not wrong just now, the person was scented with sandalwood, and then he saw that it was a person with a hat, the lower end of the brim was very clean, as if there was no hair.
The old eunuch was puzzled again, there are a lot of monks here, that is not dressed in a robe, in order to support the scene, in exchange for some good prices for the good things in his hands, but this monk is wearing a dress and a top hat, dressed like this, what are you doing?
When he saw the monk in a dress swinging into a shop, he was not curious, just looked upstairs, and continued to think about the identities of the two dolls next to Zhang Yigui with mixed feelings.
When Lu Hexi and Zhou Shenxi finished eating a bowl of noodles, there were already three empty bowls in front of Zhang Yidi.
Lu Hexi pouted, this old man's noodle eating voice can simply attract wolves, and he is not required to be gentle, but this is too eye-catching.
"Uncle Zhang, let's go out for a walk after eating. Zhou Shenxi proposed, "You have eaten so much, I am afraid that you will accumulate food at night." ”
After drinking the noodle soup, Zhang Yigui breathed a sigh of relief comfortably, and said with a smile: "This is a little, a few years ago, the old man, I had at least six bowls for a meal, and this place was opened three times a month, and it was not easy to have a meal." He saw that Lu Hexi's black eyes were about to roll his eyes and he couldn't see, and said, "Okay, let's go out and take a walk." ”
