Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Pawnshop of Virtue and Wealth (Part II)

Decai store pΓΉ is worthy of a retro building, the whole house is full of strong classical atmosphere, if it wasn't for the fact that he knew that this was a pawnshop, Li Xiaojian really suspected that he had crossed over.

"What do you want to be, sir?" The young woman asked again.

Li Xiaojian nodded, took out the jade ring from his arms, put it on the super-high mahogany table, and said, "Look at how much this thing is worth?" ”

The young woman was stunned for a moment when she saw the jade ring, and then her face showed an unconcealable look of excitement. The young woman took out a thin glove from her coat pocket, put it on, and slowly took the jade ring in her hand.

"Big brother, give it to you." At this time, the little boy with a glint in his eyes came over and handed the rock sugar gourd in his hand to Li Xiaojian.

Looking at the little boy, Li Xiaojian really had the urge to go up and hug him, this was the first time he had seen such a smart child. Li Xiaojian waved his hand, pulled a root chair and sat down, pulled the little boy over and said in his ear: "Brother doesn't eat, you can eat." ”

The little boy nodded, his gaze lingering on Li Xiaojian's face for a few seconds before looking out at the street.

After King Lanling entered the house, he looked around, and finally he was very interested in the ancient sword hanging on the wall, especially the ancient sword wrapped in a leather case with only a red sword spike, staring at the ancient sword Lanling King seemed to enter another world, his eyes exuded a strange look.

Li Xiaojian looked again, and in the middle of the pawnshop was a mahogany table, which was used to put pawns. There was no counter, just a tall yellow box with many compartments, each marked with a white label and an iron lock. The iron locks are long retro iron locks, and perhaps these locks are really ancient products, with the long lock cylinder exposed, like a woman's hairpin.

On the other side of the yellow wood lattice are some modern items, a few bicycles, and a couple of electrical appliances, which are covered in a tree rattan net, perhaps the owner did this to preserve the retro vibe of the store.

The walls of the room are full of all kinds of antiques, the separation of antiques is clear, the calligraphy and painting area is full of calligraphy and paintings, and the weapons area is full of weapons. In one corner of the wall was a platform made of stone, and the platform was full of various porcelain, and Li Xiaojian didn't know how to identify antiques, but he could see that what was placed there was not a good thing.

At the other corner of the west wall is a staircase, which has obviously been repaired, and the wooden steps have been replaced with iron sheets, which looks very old, but full of mystery.

"Little brother, where did you get this thing?" The young woman asked, playing with the jade ring, and at this time she already had a magnifying glass in her hand. The young woman's brow furrowed, and her face was solemn.

Li Xiaojian smiled and said, "This thing was given by my friend." ”

The young woman turned her head and stared at Li Xiaojian's face for nearly a minute, then smiled: "Is your friend here?" ”

After the young woman finished speaking, she turned her eyes to look at King Lanling, and Li Xiaojian also turned her head to King Lanling. When the young woman saw the handsome King Lanling, her face was obviously flushed with peach blossoms, and she bit her lip with her teeth and asked softly, "Is this your friend?" ”

Li Xiaojian smiled bitterly: "He's my friend, but this thing isn't his, boss, how much do you think this thing can be worth?" ”

The young woman's eyes stared at King Lanling, and after a while, a shrewd look flashed in her eyes, and she said slowly, "This thing is not valuable. ”

Li Xiaojian just wanted to quibble, but the young woman said: "But it's worth it to me, sir, you wait a minute." ”

After speaking, the young woman shouted upstairs: "Lao Liu, you come down, you have a big job." ”

After shouting, the young woman said to Li Xiaojian: "The value of this thing is too high, I can't identify it, wait for my man to help you take a look." ”

After speaking, the young woman no longer paid attention to Li Xiaojian and walked to the king of Lanling to talk. King Lanling looked like a fledgling child in front of the young woman, but this guy didn't seem to be very interested in women, just staring at the ancient sword on the wall. Besides, can the lord who even Shih Tzu and Diao Chan dare to offend be interested in women?

Li Xiaojian put away the jade ring on the mahogany table and looked at the pawnshop, the third child in the dormitory is a local, and he should know the market of J City very well, so he can recommend this pawnshop naturally has his reasons. Business doesn't look very good here, but it doesn't take a lot of foot traffic to buy and sell pawns. Almost all of the people who can come here to work as things are desperate people, so when they come in, they rarely redeem them, and after the deadline, they become pawnshop things. He had heard from a friend that the pawnshop was a one-tenth-percent acquisition of ninety-tenth.

While Li Xiaojian was thinking wildly, there was a sound of bells on the stairs, and a man in slippers walked down from the second floor. Li Xiaojian's eyes turned to the stairs, first he saw the man's slippers, then the man's slender legs, then the man's waist, and then the man's curved chest.

The chest does not bend, so the man is a hunchback.

Then, a shrewd and flickering face appeared in Li Xiaojian's sight. Li Xiaojian instantly opened his mouth wide and muttered, "Old Liu? ”

"Hello, I'm Lao Liu, friend, know me?" When the man heard Li Xiaojian's words, he came down to say hello.

"No, you really are?" Li Xiaojian was a little stupid, because the owner of the Decai pawnshop in front of him turned out to be Liu Yong.

When Li Xiaojian saw Liu Yong in the pawnshop, he was stunned for a moment, then he understood, took a step forward and patted Lao Liu on the shoulder, and hummed: "I said Lao Liu, you are too unrighteous, if you don't want to be a pawn, just say it clearly, why did you run to us to be the owner of the shop." ”

Lao Liu, who was patted on the shoulder by Li Xiaojian, was also stunned, and then smiled: "Little brother, did you recognize the wrong person?" I am indeed Lao Liu, but I have always been the owner of Decai Pawnshop. ”

"Xiaolan, come here!" Li Xiaojian heard Liu Yong say this, and decided to let King Lanling teach him a lesson.

King Lanling has always been obsessed with the ancient sword, and when he heard Li Xiaojian shouting at him, he ran over, and when he saw Lao Liu, he was stunned: "Lao Liu, why are you faster than us?" ”

Lao Liu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You recognize the wrong person, right?" ”

"Xiaolan, beat him!" Li Xiaojian was angry when he heard Liu Yong say this, so he ordered directly.

As soon as King Lanling heard Li Xiaojian's words, he didn't think much about it, raised his hand and gave Lao Liu a fist. The strength in King Lanling's hand was so great that he knocked Lao Liu to the ground with a fist, and then King Lanling took another step forward, grabbed Lao Liu's neck and asked, "Do you admit it now?" ”

"Hey, what are you doing? Why do you hit people? Let him go, or I'll call the police." At this time, the young woman ran over and grabbed King Lanling's arm and shouted.

"Wife, what are these two people doing?" Lao Liu, who was grabbed by the neck of King Lanling, asked in an angry manner.

The young woman frowned and said, "They came here as things. After speaking, the young woman dragged King Lanling's arm hard, but her strength could not be dragged at all.

"Brother-in-law, this person doesn't seem to be Lao Liu." King Lanling grabbed Lao Liu's neck and stared at it for a moment, then said to Li Xiaojian.

Li Xiaojian was a little stunned, this one is not bad from Liu Yong in appearance, whether it is the size or the hunchback, it is almost exactly the same, the only difference is that this person wears a pair of pants and a fancy short sleeve on the upper body, while Liu Yong wears a shirt. Li Xiaojian thought about it carefully, this person's accent didn't seem to be very similar to Liu Yong, could it be that this person was really not Liu Yong? But how can there be two people so similar in the world, is he a descendant of Liu Yong?

"Friend, I think you better let me go first, otherwise my wife will call the police." Lao Liu was really uncomfortable being caught by King Lanling, and said to the two.

Li Xiaojian nodded and asked King Lanling to let him go, then scratched his head and asked, "Are you really not Lao Liu?" ”

"I'm Lao Liu, but I'm not the Lao Liu you call it." Lao Liu said depressedly.

Li Xiaojian smiled bitterly: "It's too similar, you look exactly the same." ”

"Really? Is there anyone else in the world who looks like me? Lao Liu shook his head and said, his face full of disbelief.

Li Xiaojian glanced at the young woman beside Lao Liu, and wanted to understand that this person was indeed not Liu Yong, otherwise how could he find such a woman as his daughter-in-law? After thinking about it, Li Xiaojian said: "Then you are also surnamed Liu?" ”

"That's right, my name is Liu Yong, my father's name is Liu Decai, and this store was left to me by my father." Lao Liu patted his chest and said, it is estimated that he was hurt by King Lanling.

"Yes, then we misunderstood, Boss Liu, can you help me see how much this thing is worth?" Li Xiaojian said and handed the jade ring to Lao Liu.

Lao Liu took the jade ring and was stunned for a moment, then his expression became solemn, and then an unbelievable expression appeared on his face, and after a while, he regained his normal color, pulled Li Xiaojian and said, "Friend, can you talk to me in the back?" ”
