Chapter 5 Lao Tzu's Golden Finger
Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.
At noon the next day, we went to urge the landlord to move, and the landlord was pulling out one cart after another, and Huzi and I helped for half a day, and it was finished in the afternoon. Then the key was given to the two of us, and the house was ours.
The landlord also left us furniture, the shortcomings were otherwise, I went to the thrift market with the fat man and pulled a few tricycles back.
After dark, we were home.
Huzi and I went to find Li Chuang, but we still called him at the gate.
After Li Chuang came out, he said, "Why did you come here? If you don't come again, I'll go looking for you. The third master said, let you bring things over tomorrow. He wanted this thing, and went over and talked about the price. ”
After Huzi and I returned home, we moved overnight. Huzi's parents helped us both move. Arrived at our new home and helped us until midnight.
I can see that Huzi's parents take good care of Huzi, and they should feel that they owe him a little bit to give him to their uncle.
Huzi and I were finally able to sleep in the bed. Our bed is not far away, and there is a coffee table in the middle, just like a hotel standard room. Huzi fell on the bed and said, "Lao Chen, when you see the third master tomorrow, don't speak, listen to me." This guy is in the dark, Pan Jia'er has a shop, and there are no good people. ”
I said, "There is no traitor or business, and everyone who does business is virtuous." It's true that people can't make money doing business. ”
At this time, I was bored, so I took out the book "Into the Eye", opened it and looked at it boringly, this preface is written:
Geography is complicated and varied. The present is different from the ancient, A and B. learn from the same teacher, or each other's strengths; The body of a person may change its meaning before and after. Those who are good at making arguments are not justified; Those who have wonderful experience are obscure and ineffective. Rationality is clear, not necessarily throughout the situation; The dragon vein is judged, and it is very wrong to know yin and yang. The elders who are good at it know it in their hearts and minds, and they are brilliant in their mouths. and again cherished the secrets, shifted upside down, lost the basis, and could not be separated and decided.
I can probably understand this at the beginning, although it is an ancient text, it can barely be understood. But the ancient texts that follow are not understood at all. What can be understood, that is, those landscape illustrations inside.
Huzi was watching with a martial artist over there, and when he saw the excitement, he would jump up excitedly and tremble. When he sees the sad place, he will burst into tears.
I looked sleepy, so I stuffed the book under my pillow, rolled over and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Li Chuang rode his bicycle outside the shop to call the two of us, and after we got up, we went to eat breakfast with Li Chuang, and the soybean milk fritters that we stuttered in the alley went to Panjiajia'er after eating. There was a yard behind the third master's shop, and Li Chuang took us to the backyard.
The third master was dressed in traditional Han costumes and held a purple clay pot in his hand. He had a small flat head and a large square face, and there was a mole on the egg of this face, and a tuft of hair grew on this black mole. I heard Huzi talk about the image of the third master last night, nicknamed a handful of hair.
The third master stretched out his hand and said, "Two, please take a seat." ”
Huzi said: "Third master, let's get straight to the point." This thing you . ”
As soon as Huzi shook his head, I took out the things and handed them to the third master. The third master took it, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, without making a price, he asked first: "Where did this thing come from?" ”
Huzi said: "Why do you ask this! Third master, tell me first, what is this? ”
The third master smiled, returned the things to us, and said, "Make a price!" ”
Huzi said: "Third master, let's talk about what this thing is." ”
I can see that the third master doesn't want to say it.
But just then, a woman outside said, "I'll tell you what this is." ”
Then, the door suddenly opened, and a woman came in from outside, and I saw that it was none other than the corpse we had come into contact with at the Beijing Hotel.
After the corpse figure came in, the third master nodded his head over and bowed. At that time, I sensed that the identity of this corpse figure was not ordinary. According to what Huzi said, these three masters are also highly respected in Pan Jiayuan's generation, and it is a little interesting to nod to such a little girl.
The third master said, "Why did you come in person?" As long as you like it, I'll take it for you. ”
I said in my heart that they were all on the same line, going around and around, and still didn't bypass this woman. What is the origin of this woman?
The corpse looked at us and said, "Do you want to know what this is?" I'll tell you. ”
At this time, Li Chuang came in with a thermos carried, poured water for us, and then stood next to him and listened.
The corpse shadow said: "This brand is an old object in the middle of the Liao Dynasty, this is the soul suppression card, and the folk call it tongue money." When a person dies, he will put a coin in his mouth, and there are people who put copper coins and silver coins, and now the country should put five cents of coins. No matter how rich people are, they will put gold coins. If you put this tongue suppression money, the dead will not go to the underworld to sue the yang world, and after the tongue is pressed, you will not suck the yang energy and cheat the corpse. And this gold medal is the royal thing of the Liao Dynasty, according to the Khitan script above, this is a married princess of the Liao Dynasty, named Yelu Aduo. Han's name is Yeluxian. ”
Huzi said, "And then? ”
The corpse shadow smiled at this time and said, "I know so much for the time being, I want to know more, and we need to cooperate well." First of all, the first step is to tell me where I got this brand. ”
Li Chuang said loudly next to him: "Ten thousand Meizi, Huzi, you sent it!" ”
The third master glared at him fiercely from the side, and reprimanded: "What are you shouting, I haven't seen the world." Get out. ”
Li Chuang was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and slipped out.
Huzi smiled at this time and said: "If I don't say it, you won't accept this brand!" ”
The corpse frowned at this time, then picked up the bag, put it on the table, took out a wad of dollars from it and put it on the table, she said, "You count." ”
Huzi picked it up, sprayed spit on his fingers and counted it, no more, no less, it was 10,000 dollars.
We haven't seen dollars either, so we don't know if it's true or not. Huzi said, "It can't be fake. ”
The third master pinched a handful of his hair with his hand, stood in front of Huzi, and said, "Boy, be careful when you speak, the corpse boss is a person with status." I vouch for my personality and can also write you a letter of guarantee. ”
Huzi looked at the third master and said, "Third master, if you make a guarantee, I will naturally believe it." ”
He threw the dollar to me, then pushed the sign forward, then looked at me and said, "Old Chen, let's withdraw." ”
We arrived home with $10,000 and began to figure out how to convert dollars into RMB. As a result, before noon, Li Chuang brought someone here, and it was a university professor who wore gold-rimmed glasses. This guy is carrying a bag of great unity, and he is here to exchange for American knives.
Domestic foreign exchange is tight, and you can't exchange much dollars at the bank, so dollars are particularly popular on the black market. On the black market, it is all changed one-to-ten, and the one brought by Li Chuang opened his mouth and said that he wanted it all. As soon as Huzi and I discussed, we gave it to him and came back with a bag of great unity.
It was really too dangerous to keep such a large amount of money at home, so we immediately went to the bank, got a passbook, and saved the money. However, the bank told us that if the withdrawal is more than 10,000 yuan, we must make an appointment one day in advance.
After we took the passbook out, on the tricycle, Huzi kissed the passbook, gave it to me after kissing, and I kissed it. I never dreamed that such a brand would replace a whole bag of great unity back. A bundle of 100 sheets, a thousand dollars, a whole bundle of 100 bundles of unity, when the money was deposited, the number of people in the bank was counted for a long time before it could be counted clearly.
Although there are many people doing business in Panjiayuan, there are not many people who can save 100,000 at once. I could tell that the eldest lady of the bank looked at us both with a light in her eyes.
When we got home, the fat man and I didn't have time to think about anything else. First of all, we went to the bookstore to get a lot of books and came back, and when I entered the book, I saw a "Dictionary of Ancient Chinese Translation", which was very thick, and I piggybacked into one.
We have entered a lot of martial arts and romance, martial arts for men, and romance for women. And so the bookstore opened.
After the bookstore opened, we went to the industrial and commercial bureau to go through the procedures, the procedures are not troublesome, we are not in a hurry, anyway, if you don't go through the procedures for me, I will still open the store. We don't steal or rob, we operate legally.
After the bookstore opened, the business was quite good, with an income of about 20 yuan a day. What we hope most is that someone borrows the book and doesn't return it, and we have a set of books for five yuan, and the deposit is ten yuan. If you don't pay it back, we'll make a fortune.
One day, Huzi and I discussed getting a Yangtze River 750 big shoulder bucket to drive. Are there any men who don't like cars? I immediately agreed.
In the afternoon of the same day, Huzi drove the sidecar back. We locked the door of the store, put on big sunglasses, he drove a sidecar and took me around Sijiu City, and when I came back, I filled up the gas, No. 90 gasoline cost six cents a liter, and it cost thirty yuan to fill up the gas.
When we got home, a Santana sedan was parked in front of the door, and as soon as our car stopped, the car's lights flashed its headlights twice at us.
After the two of us got out of the car, we went over and stretched our necks to see that it was a corpse.
She got out of the car, looked at the two of us and said, "Your bookstore is very good, can I go in and borrow a book?" ”
Now that the weather is quite hot, the corpse figure is wearing a white dress, a sunhat, and a red belt, which looks particularly temperamental. This American lesbian is different from the domestic one, foreign!
I said, "When we open a bookstore, we naturally want customers to take care of us. ”
After coming in, the corpse figure walked around the room twice, chose two books to bring over, and after paying the deposit, she sat in a chair, took the book and read it, until it was dark, she twisted her neck and said, "Huzi, Lao Chen, you are both hungry." I'll invite you to dinner. ”
Huzi said: "Let's skip the meal, why are you here, you have something to say." ”
The corpse figure put the book down, then stood up and smiled, "I'm here to invite you to my birthday party, I asked someone to buy a yard in the suburbs." It's my birthday in three days, so you'll have to go and cheer it up. I don't have any friends in the country, but I treat you as friends. Here's the address. ”
As he spoke, he took a pen and wrote a note and handed it to us.
After Huzi took it, he smiled and said, "Since you are friends with us, we must go to cheer you on." ”
"Then it's decided, Lao Chen, you must also go over when the time comes. When the time comes, there will be a lot of friends to come, and I will introduce some friends to you. ”
I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll definitely go over." ”
The corpse figure went out, got into the Santana and left.
Huzi said: "This Shanghai Santana is more than 200,000 yuan, this woman is really rich." ”
I said, "Is she really our friend?" ”
Huzi looked at me and smiled and said, "It's not to know the secret of that brand. Look, I don't know what the hell is going on. ”
