Chapter 030: [Pawnshop]
After cleaning himself up, Qin Fan left Meng Xiaowei's apartment and looked for the old pawnshop near Huaihe Road according to the address given by Fang Xiaojun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that he is not very familiar with Luzhou, and there is no GPS positioning in this era, so he didn't find it after detouring on the Huaihe Road for most of the day.
There was no way, Qin Fan could only turn to Meng Xiaowei, a humanoid navigator who was familiar with the streets and alleys of Luzhou, and asked her to help find the pawnshop.
Meng Xiaowei was still angry in the morning, and as soon as they met, she glared at Qin Fan fiercely, but her angry appearance was not only not vicious, but a little frank and cute.
"Hey, what are you looking for this pawnshop for?" Meng Xiaowei seemed to know about this pawnshop, looked at Qin Fan suspiciously, and asked with a little curiosity.
"Didn't I say that I wanted to open a national art museum here with my friends, the location near here is the best in Luzhou, but the owner of that shop seems to refuse to sell."
Qin Fan didn't hide it from Meng Xiaowei and told the truth.
"I used to pass by this pawnshop when I was studying, and I knew the owner of the pawnshop, Mr. Tian, but I didn't know him very well. This old man Tian has a very strange personality, and he doesn't give anyone face if he is stubborn. ”
I see.
"Since you're here, let's go and see it first. People pay attention to fate, maybe Mr. Tian saw that I was quite fatal, so he gave me the store. ”
"Beautiful you."
Meng Xiaowei glanced at Qin Fan, and her side face reflected a beautiful luster like white porcelain, charming and coquettish.
Under Meng Xiaowei's guidance, Qin Fan easily found the old pawnshop.
However, when Qin Fan found the old pawnshop, he saw a group of people gathered outside the pawnshop, as if they were watching something lively. And from time to time there are some noisy sounds from the pawnshop, it seems that someone is arguing?
Qin Fan suddenly thought that Fang Xiaojun seemed to have mentioned to him that there were several developers who also wanted to buy this store, and suddenly sighed in his heart, could it be that someone was the first to get there?
"Let it, let it."
It was easy to squeeze to the door of the pawnshop, Qin Fan was hesitating to go in to see what was going on, when he suddenly saw a young man wearing a blue suit and shiny leather shoes on his feet being pushed out.
"Old thing, don't be embarrassed. You go out and ask, the price offered by our company is already the highest, if you don't sell it, don't regret it. ”
The young man in the middle of the split patted his dusty trouser leg and said arrogantly.
The company where the head of the middle branch is located wants to buy these shops on Huaihe Road and dismantle a large jewelry store, and the rest of the stores have already talked about it, but they only met the hard bone of Old Man Tian, and after talking about it, he touched the ash of his nose for a long time.
To his chagrin, this old man Tian's temper was as stubborn as a donkey, no matter what conditions he proposed, the old man just refused to sell this old pawnshop with little business, as if there was some treasure hidden in it.
In the end, the young man in the middle division was also in a hurry, if he couldn't get this store, their company's plan to open a large jewelry store here would not be realized, and he himself would be swept away by the company because of his ineffective work.
So, Zhongfen threatened Old Man Tian a few words, wanting to scare and scare him. Unexpectedly, he was driven out by the hot-tempered old man Tian.
"Get out of here!"
As soon as the words fell, a broom flew out of it, hitting the door of the head of the middle part, smashing him with a large bag of swollen head.
"Old thing, you still dare to hit people!" The middle head jumped to his feet and shouted.
After a while, a thin old man rushed out of the pawnshop with a short wooden stick.
"Okay, okay, you wait for me!" When he looked at the posture of the old man Tian, he suddenly felt a horror in his heart, and with the idea that a hero would not suffer the loss in front of him, the thirty-six plans were taken as the upper plan.
After the young man left, seeing that there was no excitement to see, the onlookers dispersed.
But at this time, Old Man Tian suddenly showed an expression of extreme pain on his face, and he slowly fell down with his hand covering his heart.
"It's not good, Old Man Tian had heart disease before, so he can't be too excited."
"He should have medicine on him, feed him medicine quickly." Qin Fan's face changed, and he hurriedly helped Old Man Tian to sit down in the store with Meng Xiaowei, pour him water and take medicine.
Fortunately, Mr. Tian carried the medicine with him, and his condition finally stabilized after taking the medicine.
"You are a child of the Meng family, I heard that you went to Yanjing to go to university, when did you come back?"
Although Old Man Tian is old, his memory is still good, and he still remembers Meng Xiaowei's appearance.
"I just came back, Grandpa Tian, who was that just now?"
"Hmph, an offspring. I had to buy my shop, and I said that all the goods in my store were fakes, and I had no business, so it wasn't worth two dollars. Old Man Tian was still angry, and said with a blow of his beard and glaring.
"Don't be angry, old man, drink saliva first."
Seeing that Old Man Tian was still angry, Qin Fan didn't dare to mention the matter of buying a store at this stall, in case he stimulated Old Man Tian again, it would be bad.
"This lad is your boyfriend? It's very energetic. Old Man Tian glanced at Qin Fan and asked Meng Xiaowei curiously.
Hearing this, Meng Xiaowei's cheeks were slightly red, "Grandpa Tian, you misunderstood, we are just ordinary friends." ”
"Alright, I'm fine, what should you do. I'm going to close the shop and go home for dinner. "This pawnshop has been open for more than ten years, but the business has not been very good, and I don't know why Mr. Tian insisted on not closing it.
"Grandpa Tian, how to cook with your current physical state, let us help you, just honor the old man."
Qin Fan's purpose in coming to Luzhou this time was for Mr. Tian, but he was not just because of this pawnshop, but because Mr. Tian was sick, his family was abroad, and he was lonely and had no one to take care of him, so he was really a little uneasy.
Old Man Tian glanced at Qin Fan in surprise, and did not refuse.
Not long after, Qin Fan and Meng Xiaowei followed Old Man Tian to an elderly apartment not far from the pawnshop.
Mr. Tian's home has a simple layout, with a standard one-bedroom, one-bedroom, and a small kitchen.
Meng Xiaowei took out a few cabbages, green peppers and some pork ribs from the refrigerator, and said confidently, "Grandpa Tian, I'll cook today and let you taste my skills." ”
"You can also cook? It can't be dark cuisine. ”
Qin Fan glanced at Meng Xiaowei in surprise, there are fewer and fewer girls who can cook in this era, not to mention the top Bai Fumei like Meng Xiaowei, who grew up with a golden key in her mouth. Which of these girls doesn't have ten fingers that don't touch the spring water, and they usually can't even wash their socks, let alone cook.
"Don't look down on people, the food I cook is delicious, and grandpa is full of praise."
After speaking, Meng Xiaowei plunged into the kitchen to start a fierce battle with the cabbage, green peppers and pork ribs, Qin Fan wanted to go in several times to see how she was doing, but Meng Xiaowei pushed her out.
After tossing for more than twenty minutes, the hungry Qin Fan finally waited for the meal made by Meng Da Beauty.
Although this meal is simple, it is a plate of fried cabbage, a plate of shredded pork with green peppers and a bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs, plus a tomato and egg drop soup, but Meng Xiaowei's craftsmanship is really good, and the color and flavor are complete.
"I didn't expect Miss Meng to really know how to cook, I blamed you just now, I punished myself."
Qin Fan laughed and teased, poured himself a glass of beer, and took a sip of dry.
Old Man Tian couldn't eat too much when he was old, and Meng Xiaowei didn't eat much when she was losing weight, and in the end, these few meals were all swept into Qin Fan's stomach.
After eating, Qin Fan was figuring out how to talk to Old Man Tian when his mobile phone suddenly rang.
Qin Fan glanced at the caller ID, picked up the phone, and Fang Xiaojun's voice exploded in his ears like a nuclear bomb.
"Xiaofan, how are things going? That old man is very fierce. ”
Hearing Fang Xiaojun's gong-like voice, Qin Fan hurriedly covered his phone and hung up the phone without saying a word.
"Old man, the meal is finished, we won't bother, you have to be careful. We'll see you another day. Qin Fan gave Meng Xiaowei a look and left Old Man Tian's house together.
On the way back, Meng Xiaowei asked with a puzzled expression, "Didn't you want to ask about the store, why didn't you say it just now?" ”
Qin Fan shook his head and said, "Looking at Old Man Tian's attitude, even if he asks, it will be in vain, and it will cause him to be disgusted." I think that in order to solve the problem, we must first find out the reason why he refused to sell the shop. ”
For Old Man Tian's shop, Qin Fan is not too persistent, if he really can't take down this shop, he can also settle for the next best thing and change the place to open the National Art Museum.
However, Qin Fan didn't give up immediately, after all, the location of this pawnshop is very good, and if he can take down the Founding Art Museum, it will definitely be promising.
So, the next day, Qin Fan went to Old Man Tian's pawnshop again. But the strange thing is that Old Man Tian seemed to expect him to come again, so he waited for Qin Fan in the store.
