Chapter 8: There Are Dragons in the Capital 2

Although Mu Feng had great doubts about the name of the bereaved man, he happily accepted the part-time job. The work assigned to him is really not tiring, he goes to take inventory every night, the shopkeeper Zhang is in charge of dinner, and on the day of the Sunday break, he has to stay in the store for a day to help watch the store, which can make the shopkeeper Zhang breathe a sigh of relief. With a salary of twenty yuan a month, in the era of forty or fifty months of per capita salary, he can get this money by working part-time, which is definitely very cost-effective.

However, the shopkeeper revealed a little, he did not doubt Mu Feng's ability to work, although Mu Feng was a layman, but he did not need him to deal with antiques, and it was difficult for Mu Feng to learn to keep accounts. But there is one thing, the boss of the bereaved Zhai has a relatively withdrawn personality, and whether he can use a wooden seal or not is still up to the big boss to decide.

For the school's curriculum, Mu Feng is at ease, so it is not difficult for him to get started with a new job, he has this time to study, and he is afraid that the big boss will not give him this opportunity. There was no class on Wednesday afternoon, so Mu Feng made an appointment with the shopkeeper Zhang to go to the interview.

Before the interview, Mu Feng asked Di Jiang to spy on the other party's situation. Di Jiang flew around as a sparrow and no one noticed, it was best to secretly observe the big boss for a while and say something about his preferences. What disappointed Mu Feng was that Di Jiang squatted there for three days, and except for seeing the shopkeeper Zhang, he didn't see the big boss coming to the store at all.

Mufeng can only give up, first understand some of the basic situation of the glaze factory. Fortunately, his roommate Jia Anshun is from Beijing, and his family lives in Xicheng, so he is quite familiar with Liulichang.

Liulichang became a prosperous place of antique culture in the capital from the Qing Dynasty, which is closely related to its geographical location. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu and Han sub-cities lived, and the inner city of the capital was the palace, the palace, the yamen and the Manchu residence, while the outer city was the place where the Han people lived. Liulichang is in the west of the outer city, most of the Han bureaucrats and doctors live around here, and later this area of guilds gathered, and the people who went to Beijing to take the exam also gathered in this area, which led to the development of the book market and the south paper industry.

Jia Anshun also specially explained the South Paper, which has a wide range, including pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other stationery supplies.

With the development of the times, more and more cultural people gathered here, and in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the business also developed from the four treasures of books and scholars to the direction of antique treasures. The glaze factory is even more lively, and there are more than 100 large and small shops on this street, from gold and stone to porcelain.

In the Republic of China, foreigners also liked the old objects of China, and the business of the glaze factory was still booming. Of course, this kind of booming layman may not be able to see that in the past, the antique business was not open for three years, and it was open for three years.

However, by the sixties, this pomp and circumstance had vanished. It wasn't until the early eighties that there were signs of recovery.

Mu Feng walked down this street, forgiving his clumsiness, he didn't see any signs of recovery. Two-thirds of the surrounding houses are residents, not like a cultural street, and the location of the relics is slightly off, its façade is not large, not like some time-honored brands, although the red paint has been mottled from the appearance, but still occupies a large area.

The widow was in a corner, and in front of it was a locust tree, the shade of which was a little large, covering half of the door.

Mu Feng felt that it was rare to see sunlight in this place all year round, and when he pushed the door open, he saw a smiling face of the shopkeeper Zhang. Mu Feng glanced around, Bogu had already placed the cultural toys on the shelves one by one, he didn't know whether it was good or bad, but he found that this store was bigger than it looked outside, and there was a second floor, and he didn't know if the guests would be allowed to go up there.

"Come, Xiaomu, you sit first, you arrived half an hour early, and the boss is still on the way." I heard Lao Jiao say that Xiaomu is a math learner, he is good at math, his brain is clear, our new store is open, and there is a lack of such a guy who can settle accounts. You've never been in this business before, so I'll tell you about it first. ”

The shopkeeper of Zhang is a fat man who loves to laugh, Mu Feng had initial contact, and felt that he was very kind as Jiao Hua said, and he was quite enthusiastic, knowing that he was a layman, he explained it patiently.

"Look at this street, down this way, it's basically a time-honored store, although many of them are closed now, but I've heard the news that it intends to revitalize the country's cultural undertakings. After the reform and opening up, the cultural toy store is going to open again, not to mention anything else, foreigners come to China, there must always be some places that can represent the country's cultural heritage, and the lack of a glass factory in the capital is always unreasonable. So, those shops with closed doors may be about to open. Each of them has its own story, and you can inquire about it yourself after you have been doing it for a long time in the future.

Now let's talk about the bereaved people's fast, you are not doing the work of palms, so it doesn't matter whether you know antiques or not, I believe that with your ability, it is not difficult to master the matter of accounting. So with a salary of 20 yuan a month, how can such a good thing be given to you when you do not get tired?

Of course, there are other requirements in this, there are rules for doing a line of work, no matter which dynasty and which generation of a store has high requirements for their character, the most basic thing is that you have to control your mouth, and the things in the store will be muddy in the stomach when you go out of this door. This is also a basic work ethic, and we value it even more in this industry.

Now that neither of us know each other well, we have to run in with each other for a while, and as the shopkeeper, I hope you can become my old buddy. There is a good saying, clothes are new, people are good. ”

"Don't worry, I will abide by the rules and do things seriously." Mu Feng seriously assured that he had thought before he came, I am afraid that this store will have some strange rules, just let him not talk nonsense, it is not a problem at all, just like the shopkeeper Zhang said, this is actually a basic professionalism.

Shopkeeper Zhang still smiled kindly, he saw that Mu Feng was seriously protecting, but he was not relieved at all, not that he had an opinion on Mu Feng, but that he didn't understand the big boss's approach.

Shopkeeper Zhang doesn't know much about the big boss, only that he is from Hong Kong Island, but he can speak a mouthful of Beijing films, and he knows a lot about cultural play. It seems to have a family background, and the site of the bereaved man's house is the ancestral house, and this time the big boss bought it back when he entered Beijing. I heard that when the Republic of China, my ancestor was in the entertainment business, and now that the reform and opening up has begun, he inherited the will of his ancestor and reopened this shop.

I don't know what to do with this series of procedures, but it only took half a year to make a store look like it was about to open. But some time ago, the big boss suddenly said that he wanted to recruit a bookkeeping buddy, preferably a student with a simpler background, and let the shopkeeper Zhang recommend one. The shopkeeper has introduced three or four, but they have all been rejected by the big boss, seriously speaking, Mufeng is the fifth, and I don't know what kind of account room the big boss wants to find, and it is not a blind date, why do you always reject others with a feeling that is wrong.

Just when Shopkeeper Zhang and Mu Feng were talking about the big boss in their hearts, the copper bell on the door of the store rang again, and a young man walked in, still wearing a hat.

Mu Feng didn't know how to describe the person in front of him.

In September, the sky in the capital is the time of high autumn and cool. He was dressed in black, with a black shirt on the top, black trousers on the bottom, black leather shoes, and a black top hat on his head. And Mu Feng found that the person's face was a little white, and the white was a little unhealthy, but once he came into contact with his eyes, he would not worry about whether the person was sick, his eyes were very resolute, with a kind of coldness that was not close to the person, and it was very compatible with a black body.

Mu Feng never knew that a person could wear black so naturally, and he always felt that no one was more suitable for black than this one. And this aura also completely separates people from ordinary people, and only one sentence emerges from the barren adjectives of Mufeng, this one is like coming out of a TV series, not like a down-to-earth real person.

"Big boss, you're here." The shopkeeper immediately greeted him.
