Chapter Seventy-One: Master Li

When this old man heard Xu Hong call him Master Li, he was a little inexplicable. His surname is not fake, but what kind of master is that!

"Hey, young man, how do you know that my surname is Li! How can I be a master!" The old man looked at Xu Hong with a blank expression.

"Haha, Master Li, not only do I know that your surname is Li, but I also know if your name is Li Keran!" With the experience of seeing Xu Beihong last time, this time, Xu Hong recognized this old man at a glance as Master Li Keran, a famous modern painter in the parallel world before his death.

"Ah, young man, have you ever learned fortune-telling! I have never seen you, and why did you call my name all at once!" When Li Keran heard this, Xu Hong called out his name at once, and he was extremely surprised!

"Yes, old man, I've read some fortune-telling books before! So, as soon as I see someone, I can know his name!" Of course, Xu Hong can't say that he is a reborn person. So he talked nonsense to the old man, saying that he had learned the method of fortune-telling before.

"Haha, young man, it's really amazing, can you go to fortune telling to make money!" the old man looked at Xu Hong and laughed.

"Uncle, what did you do before! You won't be a painter!" Xu Hong thought, Xu Beihong is not a painter in this world, so Li Keran is unlikely to be a painter, he will only do something else!

"Hey, young man, don't you know how to tell fortunes! You can figure out my name, why can't you figure out what I did before!" Li Keran joked with Xu Hong again.

"Yo, uncle, it seems that you want me to show you a picture for free! Okay then! You extend your right hand to me. Xu Hong looked at the old man and smiled.

"That's not right! Young man, isn't it a man's left and a woman's right to look at palmistry! How can you let me stretch out my right hand! I'm a man, I should stretch out my left hand!" When the old man heard Xu Hong say that he should stretch out his right hand, he was a little puzzled.

"Uncle, that's the case, I look at palmistry differently from others, others are men on the left and women on the right, but I am a man on the right and a woman on the left!" Xu Hong began to talk nonsense again.

"Okay, whatever you want, then you can see what I did before!" The old man stretched out his hand in front of Xu Hong and looked at Xu Hong curiously.

Xu Hong took the uncle's somewhat rough hand, looked at his middle finger, and then said confidently: "Uncle, you should have been a school teacher before!"

"Oh, young man, you're really right! I used to be a Chinese teacher in an elementary school, and after I retired, I opened this small bookstore, which can be regarded as continuing to contribute to the country's education!" The old man looked at Xu Hong and talked about his previous work occupation.

"Ah, that's really the case! It seems that my physiognomy has made great progress!" Xu Hong joked when he looked at the old man.

In fact, Xu Hong also used some methods of looking at his appearance a little. All fortune tellers must show people palmistry, and from a person's palmistry, you can see what kind of profession a person is engaged in.

Just now, Xu Hong looked at Master Li's fingers, and he saw that the first joint of Li Keran's middle finger was internally tested, and there was a small depression. This is due to holding chalk for a long time.

With this characteristic, Xu Hong can conclude that before Li Keran in this world, he should be a school teacher. But he can only guess that people are teachers, and it is impossible to guess what class they teach.

But he could guess that Li Keran was a teacher, which already surprised him very much. So when Xu Hong said that he was a teacher, he blurted out that he was a Chinese teacher!

"Haha, okay, Mr. Li, let's go back. In the future, I will come to see you again when I have the chance. Xu Hong was very happy, he knew that he had met Mr. Li Keran, and he was just a retired Chinese teacher, and he had copied many of his works during his lifetime. This time, I am going to be the editor-in-chief of "New Star Art Garden", and I will inevitably copy some of Master Li's works!

"Hey, young man, what's your name!" Li Keran looked at Xu Hong very well. Give him a hexagram for free, and he wants to know Xu Hong's name!

"Uncle, my name is Xu Hong, his name is Gu Chunlei, and we all work in the 'Tianyu Building' not far away!" Xu Hong told the old man, his name and the fat man's name.

"Okay, I remember, and you're welcome to come back. Teacher Li Keran looked at Xu Hong and the fat man and laughed, and sent the two of them to the door of the bookstore.

Only then did the two of them take the copy of "Tiannan Pictorial" and the dozen copies of "New Star Art Garden" and came to Zhao Ming and Zhang Ze again.

"Hey, fat man, why did you go for so long! Didn't you just buy a pictorial!" Zhang Ze saw that he and Zhao Ming had been waiting outside for a long time, and he was still a little unhappy!

"Haha, you don't know! Brother Xu became a fortune teller just now! As soon as he saw the master who opened the bookstore, he called out the name of the person! You say that it is magical! Our Brother Xu is not only a master of painting, but also a master of fortune telling!"

The fat man told Zhang Ze and Zhao Ming about the scene he saw just now, and the two of them were also very curious when they heard it.

"Brother Xu, when will you learn to tell fortunes! It seems that on that day, we won't be able to get along, so we will just follow you to set up a stall to tell fortunes. "Zhao Ming is still joking with Xu Hong!

"Okay, let's go back quickly! Our harvest today is not small! Not only did we buy a copy of "Tiannan Pictorial," but we also bought more than a dozen copies of our own "New Star Art Garden"! This has increased the sales of our pictorial a lot!

Xu Hong looked at the dozen copies of "New Star Art Garden" in the fat man's hand and joked again.

"Brother Zhao, look at it, our "New Star Art Garden" has been in the bookstore for a week, and not a single one has been sold, and the goods that the "Tiannan Pictorial" just bought today have already been sold out! This is really incomparable! I am also angry, so I have done a good deed for the bookstore!"

The fat man took the dozen copies of "New Star Art Garden" and came to Zhao Ming's side, and divided a few copies and put them in Zhao Ming's hands.

"Hey, it's really sad! When will our "New Star Art Garden" take a turn for the better!" Zhao Ming also opened the pictorial he founded a little helplessly.

A few people, chatting now, walked back to the pictorial office.

Together, they came to Xu Hong's office again, and the fat man put "New Star Art Garden" on the desk and sat on the sofa to rest!
