Chapter 24: Entering the Circle
After walking for a while, Master Yu pulled me into a teahouse, this teahouse is very different from other teahouses, there are two stone gluttons in front of the door, and the dragon and phoenix are carved on the door, revealing a style that does not belong to the market. You know, on other doors, they are all plain.
And I was still immersed in what Master had just said. I still can't see through the world with a normal heart, although Tai Chi Tu taught me to combine yin and yang, follow my own heart, I am still the one who only knows but can't do it myself.
"This shady shop, but it is so open, it must be the largest one in this area, and the background is a little powerful." As soon as Master entered, he bowed his head and whispered in my ear. With that, he pulled me to a random table in the corner of the first floor and sat down.
It's still so dim inside, there's a light on every table, and there's a neat row of talismans on the counter, it's complicated, I can only understand part of it, it's a "town" word. I haven't touched anything else.
Within a few seconds of sitting down, a woman came to greet her, with dark eyes, white skin, and long hair that was split and dry, and I would have jumped up if I hadn't seen her shadow in the faint light! The master called two cups of Xinyang Maojian, I didn't hear it, and I ignored him, and gave the master a look you know. Master smiled and asked me for another plate of pastries.
"Master, you said that the food in Beijing is delicious, but this pastry is average." I'm used to eating wild game in the mountains, I really don't think it's delicious, after I finished speaking, I took the Xinyang hair tip in front of me to drink, why is it so unpleasant, I almost didn't vomit it.
"People are not food shops, what do you want to eat? You can make do with this tea, you think it's the same as at home, drink my tea? My tea is ......" said that he generally stopped like this, drank the tea by himself, and didn't see anything he wasn't used to. What I hate most about Master is that when I speak, I just talk about it, and if I don't say it, I just have to say it, which makes me think about it!
After all, I was still young, and after eating the pastries, I waited for about twenty minutes, and then I began to get bored and began to look at everything in this teahouse.
There are a lot of customers in this teahouse, are they all doing that kind of business? Listening to their voices, there is basically no Beijing accent, and they should all come from other places to talk. Unlike other teahouses, no one plays cards and no one makes a lot of noise.
How do you describe these people? Some of the tea drinkers here look poor and charitable, but their eyes are shining, some are holding a fan and holding a walnut in their hands, and there are people with kind faces and fierce eyes piercing out of them. Everybody looks ill-intentioned, and I don't like these people. Because of my strong spiritual sense, I am always very sensitive to what kind of existence a person is, that is, I can feel what is in a person's bones, and that kind of character cannot be hidden.
But after a while, I noticed a strange phenomenon. Those who sit and drink tea, every few minutes, there are always people who come over and whisper, some of them go directly to greet people as soon as they enter the teahouse and observe the circle, and some are people who originally drank tea.
The people who were accosted were a little happy, some were nervous, some went out together after checking out immediately, and some went out for a while and came back. But whenever he went out, there was a guy at the counter who followed.
"Xiaokang, do you see that the hall is famous?" Master saw that I was looking at people, and asked casually.
"I can see that some of them are waiting for the guests to do business, right? Or are we sitting here and somebody is coming to buy our stuff? ”
"Generally, the people who can enter this teahouse are people who know this area very well, and they usually come in by mistake, and after asking a word or two, they will be invited out." Master explained to me.
"What are you doing out with man? Why didn't anyone ask us? I asked curiously.
"You trade here, and the teahouse gives the venue and guarantee, but if the transaction is successful, the teahouse will take a cut, and as for how much, it depends on the goods. As for us, it's not time yet, and someone must be secretly watching us two. "Master whispered to me. As expected, while he was talking, a guy came this way.
"You two, you two came here for tea and were introduced by acquaintances? Or did you drink your own tea? "Let's drink tea ourselves." Master replied with a smile.
"I said, why haven't you seen it, you see that we are all old guests here, and we like to talk about things here, you see?" After the guy said this, it was obvious that we didn't say anything, and immediately drove us away.
"Never mention underground affairs, no matter the past, don't talk about the present, only bargain!" The master replied to the man's inexplicable words, and the fellow said, "Gotcha! The two of them used it slowly, and filled the tea for the two guest officers. Then he turned and walked away.
What is this? I don't understand it at all! I tugged at Master's cuffs.
"This is jargon, tell them that we are not tomb robbers, we are just here to do business, and let other guys add tea to us, which is to tell the people inside that we are people in the industry and can introduce buyers to us." Master drank water while popularizing these basics.
I suddenly became excited, this is probably the circle that we call only Taoist priests, right?
Sure enough, as Master expected, after a while, a young man who looked like a ruffian walked towards us......
Seeing that person coming, my heart immediately felt an inexplicable nervousness mixed with excitement, is this looking for us to do business? After all, anything unknown is attractive to a small child.
Compared to my excitement, Master calmed down a lot, and didn't even look away, just drinking tea and thinking about things.
The man looked at me, hesitated, and went to another table.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a young man, probably in his twenties, but I can assure you that he didn't come in from the main entrance! The man came over and sat down directly across from the master, and when he looked at me in astonishment, he immediately gave me a grimace and made me laugh. Everybody has it.
"Uncle, ...... you" As soon as the young man spoke, my master waved his hand and immediately interrupted him: "Who is your master?" ”
"Liu Xinli, have you heard of it? By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my surname is Wang, so you can call me Xiao Wang. ”
"Poof!" I've been training my mind since I was a child, and I don't usually laugh unless I can't help it.
"Liu Er's lame? But speaking of which, he is a person who is in the same vein, and he also knows how to paint. Master nodded.
"You really know my master?" The little Wang immediately muttered: "The master taught to see people is too accurate, all of a sudden I found a person who knows how to do things, none of them are born people, uncle, I will say it directly, I don't ask you whether you are open goods or private goods, let's go directly to see the goods and negotiate the price?" "It seems to be an acute child.
The master shook his head: "You can't see this thing of mine, you can go." ”
