At the intersection of West Street, there was indeed a stall with a knife on credit on the sidewalk, a thin old man with an old military hat on his head and a pair of toad glasses that covered half of his face, sitting against the wall, crossing Erlang's legs, swaying twice from time to time, that leisurely appearance, obviously not worried about business is not good.

The signboards on the left and right sides of the stall are made of red cloth, which is very dazzling, and the left side reads: ancestral credit knife, the broken mouth is sent in vain, and the right side is written: Bud rice turns over, five yuan and then collects money. There is a canvas on the ground in the middle, and there are all kinds of knives on it, and at a glance, there are more types than we sell, and it looks like it should be an old Jianghu.

Although this person looks like a face, but at his age, he should also be our senior, although I am the head of the meeting, I have to go over to say hello first. But just as we walked past the stall, a woman with a child on her back squatted down in front of the stall, picked and chosen, picked up a kitchen knife and asked the old man, "This knife really doesn't need cash?" ”

The old man grinned: "Then there is a fake, leave your name and address, you take the knife, the bud rice will not rise to five yuan, I don't want your money." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a kitchen knife and carved two words on it before handing it to the woman.

The woman registered her name and address, thanked her, and left.

Yang Shu was about to talk to him, but I pulled him to sit down in front of a wonton stall on the street: "Don't worry, let's see." ”

Poplar tilted his head and looked at me: "What's wrong?" ”

I whispered, "His knife is wrong, you pay attention." ”

The poplar tree stopped squeaking, and the two of us ordered a bowl of wontons and watched them while sliding.

After a while, a man with a big head and a thick neck stopped in front of the credit knife stall, squatted down and looked at it for a long time, chose two kitchen knives and two boning knives, and said that he wanted to pay on credit.

Who knew that the old man changed his previous tone, claiming that the knife on credit had been used up on credit, and the remaining knife was only cash.

The man discussed with the old man, saying that he was running a restaurant, and he wanted to use a lot of knives, as long as he tried the old man's knife, he would come back to buy more, but no matter what he said, the old man just refused to take credit, and the man left helplessly.

The old man looked at the man's back, his face was disdainful, and at this moment, another woman came to ask for the goods, but this time, the old man happily gave her the knife on credit, and there was more than one......

In this way, Yang Shu also saw that something was wrong: "His knife is only for women?" ”

I shook my head slightly: "Not only that, although he also carved words on the knife, what was engraved was not a proverbial quotation, there was only breath on the word and no knife proverb, at most it could only be regarded as a sign of long-distance positioning, what was he doing?" ”

If we want to measure the cause and effect with the other party and use the knife to get guidance, then we must attach the proverbial quotation to the word, which is a unique breath that mixes the knife and the yang energy of oneself, and outsiders may not be able to see it, but I am too familiar with the breath of the proverb to be familiar with it.

If this was left before digesting the python beads, at such a long distance, I might not dare to call it accurate, but after breaking through the middle stage of the Holy Realm, my sensitivity to the breath has greatly increased, not to mention the distance of more than a dozen steps, and even dozens of meters away can still be found.

Since I noticed that this old man was strange, we naturally couldn't go over and recognize each other directly, so I pondered for a while and said to Yang Shu: "In this way, let's go over and have a look in a while, I will answer him, you secretly take two photos of him, first silence the shutter of your mobile phone, don't let him find out." ”

Poplar nodded, took out his phone, and turned off the shutter sound of the camera.

I took advantage of the stall where he was fiddling with his mobile phone, got up directly, and walked towards the booth where the knife was on credit.

He got up and was about to leave, but was dragged by the owner of the wonton stall: "Hey, don't go, I didn't give you any money!" ”

Yang Shu was stunned for a moment and was anxious: "No...... It's not that I pay for it, ask him for money......"

The owner of the wonton stall was also anxious: "He's gone, I'm not looking for you to find anyone?" You two together, don't think I didn't see it. ”

"What's the matter, if you want to eat the overlord meal, I'll just say that you two thieves don't have a good idea, let's come and see it......"

Yang Shu was thin-skinned, so he naturally refused to let him shout like this, so he had to pay for it in a hurry.

A total of more than ten yuan, but it made him feel a pain on his face, and when he turned his head, he chased me to settle the account.

But I had already snickered and walked to the knife stall.

"Uncle, your business is interesting, dare to take credit, aren't you afraid that people will turn around and not admit it?"

The stall owner snorted without raising his head and eyes: "No one can rely on Lao Tzu's account." ”

I smiled and nodded, squatted down, picked up a boning knife and weighed it twice in my hand, and I couldn't help but feel a little angry.

What the hell is this? Don't say that compared with my hand-made, even if it is compared with the mass production of large-scale goods on the assembly line of the knife factory, it is also a grade worse, it is clearly a small workshop to break the iron sheet shoddy things, although it seems that there is nothing wrong, but as long as you take it home and use it for ten days and a half months, you will definitely have to roll the blade.

Although the knives made by our credit knife people are also divided into high, medium and low grades, as long as they can be put out, at least they are goods that can withstand daily use, even if they are not recorded in the account, they will never be shoddy, otherwise it is not only their own family's signboard, but the job bowl of the 49 road credit knife people!

"Your knife, the quality is average, twenty-five one, isn't it a little expensive?"

I took his boning knife and asked as I played with it.

To be honest, it's already very polite for me to ask, after all, the first time we met, I don't know the inside story, or people sell these rags, maybe there is some kind of hardship.

As soon as the old man heard what I said, his voice immediately became high: "What are you talking about? My knives are of average quality? Let me tell you, Lao Tzu has walked the rivers and lakes for decades, and there are not 10,000 but 8,000 knives on credit, and no one has ever said that the quality of my knives is not good! ”

I smiled: "So confident, did you hit these knives yourself?" ”

"Of course, don't look at what Lao Tzu does, is your name as a credit knife person given for nothing?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the signboards on both sides of the stall, with an arrogant expression.

Poplar had already followed by this time, and I turned the boning knife and handed it to him.

He took the knife and looked at it only a few times, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.

Before he spoke, I took a step forward and said to the old man: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turns out that the old man is really a knife man on credit, and our brothers have long heard of the name of the knife man on credit, I can't imagine that I have the fate to meet today, my surname is Yang, dare to ask your old noble surname?" ”

The old man glanced at the two of us angrily: "The yellow-mouthed girl has not faded away, come out and talk nonsense, get out, don't buy a knife and don't mess around with me, hurry up!" ”

I laughed and said, "Don't, let's buy it, really buy it." ”

The old man didn't even look at me: "What to buy, do you know knives?" I can't even see a good thing, and I dare to buy a knife? ”

Without waiting for me to take a stubble, he waved his hand again and again to drive people away: "The goods are sold to the family, Lao Tzu's knife will not be sold to you like a stunned person, no matter how much money you pay, hurry up and roll the calf, don't spoil my knife." ”

Yang Shu's face turned blue when he heard this: "Old thing, don't be embarrassed, my brother ......"

I pulled him hard, stopped him, took the knife from his hand, and put it back as it was.

"My brother is not sensible, don't be weird, let's go, I wish you a prosperous business."

After saying that, I dragged the poplar tree and continued to walk westward, and I listened to the old man behind me scolding, without a good word.

I ignored him, and after pulling the poplar out for a while, the poplar shook his arm vigorously, broke free of my hand, and said angrily: "What are you doing, brother, this old guy is clearly a liar, let him be so tidy, don't you smash our signboard?" ”

"If we hadn't met, then I couldn't say, but today he bumped into the hands of our brothers, and if you don't pick him up, is it worthy of Master?"

I smiled and patted him on the back and rubbed it a few times: "Dissipate your anger, have you been suffocated for more than a month?" Just catch fire! ”

Yang Shu glared at me fiercely, suddenly remembered something, and stretched out his slap in front of me: "It's useless to talk less, wonton money!" ”

I frowned: "Is Yang Xiaoqian still missing those ten or eight yuan?" Don't make a fuss, get down to business, I asked you to take a picture, did you take a picture? ”

"Of course I did!"

Poplar took out his phone and showed it to me.

I took the phone and looked at it carefully: "Well, this photo is taken horizontally, the angle is good, and the picture is clear!" ”

"That is, I'm playing with my phone these days, so I don't have to say that I have a generation gap with you."

I smiled and picked my thumb: "Okay, there is progress, send it to me, I will contact Sister Xiang and let her see if she knows this person." ”

Seeing him concentrating on fiddling with his phone, I couldn't help but laugh, who said that a low IQ is no good? At least he can still make full use of this point of "forgetting his claws", no matter how much he struggles with one thing, you just need to find a conversation for him to cross, and he can't remember what he was about to say just now.

I was secretly having fun, when I heard him ask, "Uh...... What's wrong with this? ”

I had a black line in my head: "When you go out in the future, don't say that you are my brother!" ”

snatched his mobile phone and sent the photo to myself, and then the two of us found an uninhabited alley and passed the photo to Lin Ningxiang.

Lin Ningxiang didn't reply to WeChat, and called me directly.

"Brother, where are you, I look at the background of that photo a little familiarly, and, who are you taking this?"

I smiled: "In your house, come to check the matter of the abbot of Zen Heart, don't you meet a peer, ask you, is it from your family." ”

Lin Ningxiang was a little disgusted: "When did you come, don't squeak with your sister first, don't you want me to be?" ”

"How can I be, didn't I contact my sister just after I arrived?"

Lin Ningxiang smiled: "Don't fool, if it weren't for something, you wouldn't have thought of me." I don't recognize this person, look at this costume, is it from the Wang family in Shanxi and the Zhao family in Shaanxi? Maybe I went to your party and didn't go back yet. ”

My face turned cold, and now I was almost certain that this old man was an impostor!
