Chapter 50: Accepted an old apprentice
Huang Mantang has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has already discovered the difference here when he accompanied the two old men to play mahjong, and everything after that was also seen in his eyes, and he gradually had an idea in his heart.
After Ye Yi and Jiang Taide finished talking about the details, they opened the door, and before they could call him over, he rushed to the door, knelt down, and wept bitterly: "Master is above, be worshiped by the apprentice!" β
"Master...... Who do you call Master......"
Ye Yi looked at Jiang Taide with a blank expression.
Jiang Taide said: "Do you think I can take him as an apprentice?" β
"That's right."
Ye Yi nodded.
Huang Mantang cried even more: "Master, from today onwards, I will be your apprentice, you let me go east, I will never go west!" If you ask me to hit someone, I will never curse! I just ask Master, don't dislike me, accept me! I'm willing to serve youβ"
"Stop!"
Ye Yi stopped Huang Mantang's pleading.
Huang Mantang was also obedient, and immediately raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Ye Yi with tears in his eyes: "Master, you don't want apprentices ......"
Ye Yi finally understood this time.
She looked at Li Yijian speechlessly: "Second Master, don't take you to be such an apprentice!" Forget about Uncle Shi's business, this ...... This ......"
"Girl, you wronged me this time, I definitely didn't imply that he worshiped you as an apprentice!"
Li Yijian put things out of the way.
Ye Yi could only look at Jiang Taide for help: "This matter ......"
"This kid is a little older, and his talent is not good, but he is filial piety, and it is okay to accept him as an outer disciple."
Jiang Taide said with a curly beard.
Since ancient times, the rivers and lakes have had the habit of accepting the children of local wealthy families as outer disciples, as the so-called "mantle disciples raise masters, and outer disciples raise masters". Although this Huang Mantang does not have the qualifications to practice feng shui, and he is also half-witted in martial arts, his fortune in the field of antiques and investment is not ordinary, and he has a good character, filial piety to his elders, and accepting him as an outer disciple is a sure win.
When Huang Mantang heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, grandpa!" Thank you, grandpa! β
Jiang Taide pointed at Li Yijian: "I don't plan to accept you as an old apprentice, your real grandfather is this!" β
Li Yijian was stunned: "You...... You ......"
Jiang Taide said: "What, don't you want it? β
Li Yijian touched his chin and said, "No, I just feel shabby, back then, I accepted outer disciples, but they were all ......."
"It was back then, and now it's now," Jiang Taide interrupted Li Yijian's muttering and said, "Old Li, you will just take a moment!" β
"Okay!"
When Huang Mantang heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yijian is head: "Grandpa!" Grandpa! β
Li Yijian was still a little unhappy, but after being called by Huang Mantang with a few "senior grandfathers", he suddenly felt that it was not bad to have this apprentice, so he touched his beard and said, "Your name is Huang Mantang, right?" β
"Eh, what do you command, Grandpa?"
Huang Mantang smiled.
Li Yijian said: "Do you know how to be an apprentice? β
"I know, I want to be filial to my master like my parents, I will do whatever the master says, when the master is short of money, I will be a money bag for the master, and when the master wants the apprentice to work, I will be on call......"
Huang Mantang's call made Li Yijian very happy, and he said again and again: "Okay! Good! Good! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After a simple tea and kowtow, Huang Mantang officially became Ye Yi's registered apprentice and Li Yijian's apprentice.
In this way, Ye Yi did not have to pay the 70,000 yuan of shop purchase and sale money that Ye Yi originally wanted to pay Huang Mantang, but Huang Mantang had to hand over the store property right certificate to Ye Yi according to the original plan.
Ye Yi suddenly didn't want to go, she took the property right certificate, and said: "Fortunately, I haven't completed the transfer procedures, the owner of this store will still be you in the future, and I will be a nominal shopkeeper!" By the way, there is 10,000 yuan in cash here, you take it, and it should be my red envelope! β
"This ...... This ......"
Huang Mantang took the red envelope handed by Ye Yi, and his heart was inexplicably moved.
Jiang Taide smiled and said, "Take it!" Now you need these. β
You must know that although Jiang Taide does not have Ye Yi's spiritual eye, he has decades of experience in the rivers and lakes, plus a few side knocks when he was playing mahjong, he has already touched the bottom of Huang Mantang thoroughly, and even guessed what treasures are in the Huang family's safe!
Huang Mantang was moved from the bottom of his heart this time.
He knelt in front of Ye Yi and said loudly, "Master! Start ...... Today"
"Don't talk about being a cow or a horse! If you really regard me as a master and be filial, you can do the following things for me......"
Ye Yi lowered his voice.
Huang Mantang also put his ears together.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The next day was Saturday, and after Ye Yi finished his morning class, he took Huang Mantang to the downtown area.
In the teahouse, the two sat by the window, Ye Yi pointed to the lively old street below, and said, "Lao Huang, let me ask you a question." If I hand over all of Lu Tianliang's antique industries in X City to you today, will you have the ability to integrate all these industries within three months and open a branch on this street in Y City! β
Huang Mantang frowned.
He is an antique connoisseur and an antique dealer, and Lu Tianliang's recent suppression has made him miserable, but it has also made him notice the gap in the field of antiques in Y City.
"If I can really get all of Lu Tianliang's properties in X City, as the master said, with the Lu family's funds as a guarantee, plus the connections of the master and grandfather in Y City, it is not impossible to open a branch within three months! The only worry is that there are no decent babes in the store......"
To make an antique shop, the objects in the store are the key.
Lu Tianliang relied on the backstage to be domineering in X City, although there are a lot of things in his store, but there are not many weights.
Huang Mantang has a few bronzes in his hands that can be used as treasures of the town, but this kind of thing is too valuable, and although it is full of weight, it is also easy to cause disputes.
Huang Mantang suddenly fell into a contradiction.
However, Ye Yi had already thought of this.
"Things are not a problem," she said, "and there are a lot of calligraphy, paintings, and utensils in the master's room, which can be used as a faΓ§ade temporarily!" There are also some things in the backyard that I have collected. Of course, compared to the master's collection, the things in the backyard are not worth mentioning. β
"It's okay! Never mind! β
Huang Mantang smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
After officially apprenticeship yesterday, he followed Ye Yi into Jiang Taide's study, and saw the ...... hanging on the wall, on the table, and on the shelf It's all antique! was so shocked that Huang Mantang almost had a heart attack first, and then knelt on the ground and called grandpa.
As for the things that Ye Yi piled up in the backyard, although Huang Mantang hadn't seen them yet, he believed that they would definitely surprise him!
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to say: "Master, I think we should determine the location of the store now, as well as the specific decoration and business plan!" β
Ye Yi smiled and said, "Since you are so sure, then I will - officially launched!" β
