The next day, Lin Yi woke up early in the morning, in a state of chaos, his head was a little unconscious, as if he had a dream last night, the strange woman of the Republic of China named Yu Meiyan got into his dream, as for what he said and did in the dream, he couldn't remember.

At this moment, Lin Yi felt like Zhuang Mengdie in Jia Pingwa's novel "Waste Capital", because the woman was entangled and dizzy.

He got up, went to the bathroom, washed his face with a handful of water, and then came to his senses. I really woke up, and when I looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock. If I remember correctly, today is my first time at work since I was transferred.

……

I rushed to the company in a hurry and went directly to the sales department to report. I thought that I would be late for the first time and would be severely criticized, but when Lin Yi arrived at the sales department, he was stunned.

Is this really a sales office? How...... No one? No, to be precise, there are only two old men sitting in front of the counter, one holding a newspaper and reading the newspaper, and the other holding a teacup and drinking tea, so the situation is very different from Lin Yi's impression of the lively and lively sales department.

Seeing that the two old men were busy with their own affairs, Lin Yi was a little embarrassed to speak, so he had to cough and say, "I'm sorry, which one is Uncle De?" ”

At this time, the person holding the newspaper raised his head, showed his reading glasses, and looked at Lin Yi with a deep frown, "I am, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Yi hurriedly said: "Hello, Uncle De, I'm here to report, I just transferred here today." ”

Uncle De, who --- with reading glasses, put away the newspaper slowly, and muttered: "These guys from the personnel department are really, let them find me a capable one, but find me a stunned young man." "It seems that Lin Yi's first impression is very bad.

"What will you do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Will you pour tea and water?"

"This ...... I can do it. ”

"Will it be a back-beating massage?"

"This ...... There is difficulty. ”

"What about the whiskers and flattery?"

"This ...... Didn't learn. ”

"If you don't learn, you have to study hard--- it's not for you to flatter me, it's for customers." Uncle De explained.

Lin Yi was surprised: "This ...... Is it necessary? ”

"Of course it's necessary, you think this is still a pawnshop in a feudal society, a pawn shop, a regular enterprise. The customer is God, we don't pat the customer's ass and eat. Uncle De taught.

"But aren't we in charge of appreciating treasures?" Lin Yi wondered.

"Wrong! It's not us, it's me and him, and as for you, it's your responsibility to serve your customers well, and by the way, to serve me well. ”

Uncle De said this, and the old man who was sitting on the side leisurely drinking tea was not happy, and said in a loud voice: "**** De, what are you talking about, how can you serve you alone?" What about me, who will serve me? ”

Uncle De sneered and said: "He is an apprentice sent by the Personnel Department to me, and it is not yours, if you want to find someone to serve, then apply to the Personnel Department." ”

"Apply for a fart, come to one and run away after less than ten days, I don't know and think that we are here in Longtan Tiger's Den, and now in this year, why is it so difficult to find an apprentice in our industry."

"It's hard for you, it's not hard for me, I have it here." Uncle De raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Yi again: "What's your name?" ”

"Lin Yi."

"Well, the name is okay, it's easy to remember. Lin belongs to wood, Yi belongs to earth, wood and soil are very compatible, you will have a good future in the future--- my five elements belong to gold, Jin Kemu, you have to be careful in the future, don't make me angry, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. Uncle De said very seriously.

Lin Yi was stunned, and suddenly remembered what Song Qiaochu told him, saying that these two old men had strange tempers, and many interns and apprentices were kicked away after staying for less than a month, I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"Okay, since you're here, let's do our job and don't let me worry about it. Well, go and sweep the floor first and then mop it, the most important thing in the sales department is the façade, what kind of system is the dirty on the ground. ”

"Then when will you teach me treasure appreciation?"

"Teach you, why should I teach you? Did you pay my tuition? ”

Lin Yi was stunned: "No." ”

"Have you done the apprenticeship?"

"Nope."

"Am I obligated to teach you?"

Lin Yi: "......"

"So, you'd better sweep the floor!" Uncle De sent Lin Yi away directly.

Turning around, Uncle De said to the old man who was drinking tea: "Why are young people so impetuous now? I didn't do anything, I just wanted to learn skills, we were all three bows and nine bows at that time, and I also sealed the red envelope for the master......"

Uncle --- Kang, an old man drinking tea: "The times are different, you still think it's the pawnshop in the past." ”

"Don't run me, let's gamble again."

"Okay, just like before, just bet that you, the new apprentice, can last a few days."

Uncle De smiled coldly, "I can't hold on to him for ten days." ”

Uncle Kang: "I bet he can hold on for half a month." ”

"What about the bets?"

"The old look, a pound of the best Tieguanyin."

"Deal!"

……

For three consecutive days, Lin Yi, who was transferred to the sales department, learned to do two things in total: sweeping and mopping.

As a master, Uncle De also told him a lot of skills "without concealment---

When sweeping the floor, turn off the air conditioner and then sweep it again to avoid dust flying.

When mopping the floor, add some dish soap locally to facilitate sterilization and disinfection and clean the floor.

As for how to appreciate treasures, he didn't teach a word.

But fortunately, Lin Yi still has a pair of eyes that he can look at from the side. When the business department is good, it can pick up almost for customers a day, and most of the customers who come here are in financial difficulties and want to mortgage their valuable things, such as mortgaged real estate, cars, mortgaged shops, jewelry, and of course, some antiques and cultural relics, these rare collections.

Often at this time, Lin Yi, who had turned into an apprentice, would stare intently at Uncle De and Uncle Kang to distinguish such a treasure, and secretly learn a trick and a half on the side.

In the middle of the term, Uncle Kang was an expert in gold and stone, good at identifying antique jade, and Uncle De was an expert in calligraphy and painting, good at identifying calligraphy and painting works of various periods.

The reason why Lin Yi came to this pawnshop was for this day, and of course he would not miss it when he encountered Jianbao.

But often when Lin Yi was concentrating on watching with relish, Uncle De would suddenly interrupt the treasure appraisal and instruct Lin Yi: "Go, pour me a cup of tea." ”

When Lin Yi hurriedly poured the tea and brought it over, the treasure appraisal here had already been completed.

In this regard, Lin Yi complained, but he couldn't say it. Uncle De just looked cold, and he never seemed to regard Lin Yi as his apprentice.

Uncle De's attitude towards Lin Yi, Uncle Kang looked at it all in his eyesight, and he was anxious, not because of love, he felt sorry for Lin Yi's descendant, but because he felt sorry for himself that he was about to lose the bet, and it was estimated that he would have to pay Uncle De a pound of the best Tieguanyin. This kind of Tieguanyin is Xu Haoming Xu Da Guy brought from thousands of miles away from other places, and gave them a gift, it is said that one or two will cost thousands of yuan, and the two of them each get three catties, and they are hidden at home and reluctant to drink. Last time I bet, Uncle Kang won a pound, and he was happy for several days, but he didn't want to lose back.

So Uncle Kang's eyes rolled and he thought about it.

On this day, Lin Yi had just finished cleaning the floor of the sales department, wiped down the tables, chairs, benches, counters and something, and just finished cleaning up and preparing to go home, when he saw Uncle Kang biting the small mouth pot, pacing over slowly, and asked, "Lin Yi, how many days have you been here?" ”

Lin Yi said, "It's been almost four or five days." ”

"Are you still used to it?"

"It's okay." Lin Yi didn't quite understand why this Uncle Kang suddenly cared about himself.

"Young people, be honest...... If you don't get used to it, you don't get used to it, and it's okay to say anything. Then he lowered his throat, pulled his mouth out of the spout and said, "You don't have to say that I know that Old Man De abuses you...... I couldn't help but look at it. ”

Lin Yizhi looked at Uncle Kang in a daze, dizzy, the old man is so kind?

Seeing that Lin Yi was stunned, Uncle Kang thought that he had been moved, so he returned to his serious appearance and said: "Xiao Linzi, I think you are also a rare talent, it is a good thing for young people to like to learn, and the industry of treasure appreciation needs a hot-blooded offspring like you......" Aiming at Lin Yi with his eyes.

Lin Yi was still confused, did this old man take the wrong medicine?

Seeing that Lin Yi was so unenlightened, Uncle Kang was straightforward: "So, you should be my apprentice!" ”

Be my apprentice!

Regarding Uncle Kang's "unprecedented" request, Lin Yi couldn't turn a corner for a while.

"Ahem, Uncle Kang, aren't you kidding?" Lin Yi asked.

Uncle Kang's expression was a little unnatural, it was definitely the first time he had done this kind of thing to rob an apprentice, it was inevitable that he was unprofessional, and his face was not thick enough, "I just said casually, I will teach you if you want, and pull it down if you don't want to." "It's a child's temper.

Lin Yi grinned, "How can I not want to, I came to this sales department to learn from your second elder." ”

"You're interested." Uncle Kang breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately told Lin Yi again, "You can't tell Uncle De about this." ”

"Why?"

"I take care of his face, who makes us kind in our hearts!" Uncle Kang was worried and sighed.

……

In the next few days, Lin Yi secretly followed Uncle Kang and began to learn how to identify gold and stone antiques.

At the beginning, Uncle De just wanted Lin Yi not to be driven away by Uncle De, and casually prevaricated him to teach him something; But Lin Yi turned out to be extremely talented, and he could understand it at one point, which made Uncle Kang feel very strange, he had never been so smart when he was learning to appreciate treasures, did he meet a genius? Suddenly, Uncle Kang was curious about Lin Yi, and inadvertently, he also taught Lin Yi some more profound treasure appreciation knowledge.

Besides, Lin Yi, where is he a genius, mainly because he likes to read, and also likes to read some books involving gold and stone antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and after reading too much, it is inevitable that there is some inventory in his stomach. (To be continued.) )
