Chapter 14 Qing Fangzhai shopkeeper
"This side of the world is born along the avenue, its own small world, it can be said to have the effect of mustard seeds in Sumeru, I really don't know what kind of creation, in order to take advantage of the momentum of heaven and earth here, people and prosperity, into a small world!"
The more Zhang Yu walked back, the more he could clearly perceive the difference in this place, he was now a successful Yin God cultivator, and he was naturally sensitive to this kind of Yin and Yang evolution, after perceiving the five elements of biochemical circle here, the amazement in his heart was even more incomprehensible, but at the same time, there was also a trace of doubt.
"Such a treasure land, formed spontaneously in just a hundred years, is it really the way of heaven?"
You know, now is the great prosperity of the human race, a hundred ways to retreat, since this antique street is prosperous, this opportunity, will definitely be seen by many people with a heart, those mercenary real estate developers, local officials who focus on political performance, how can they be indifferent to such a piece of tempting treasure land for many years?
You must know that after a little groundbreaking, the pattern of this place will change, and the momentum of this feng shui will collapse and decay, and this small world in Zhang Yu's eyes will no longer exist.
It can be said that the slightest external force intervenes, and the balance between heaven and earth will be broken.
But it is in this situation that this antique street can maintain this pattern until today, in Zhang Yu's opinion, it is simply incredible.
"If you don't develop such a popular site, those officials and developers will not be able to change their sexes?"
Zhang Yu was puzzled and couldn't let go.
"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang. ”
While thinking about it, Chen Zhi suddenly woke up Zhang Yu who was out of the world.
"Well, what's wrong?" Zhang Yu came back to his senses and asked.
Chen Zhi glanced at him a little strangely and said, "What do you want to be so attentive, I have been calling you for a long time." ”
Zhang Yu smiled and did not explain.
"When I came all the way just now, I looked, there are some stalls here, there are no storefronts, I asked, most of the big shops are open during the day, and now they are probably closed. ”
Chen Zhi told Zhang Yu about the situation along the way and told Zhang Yu and a few people to know.
"All closed?" Xiao Cai asked with a dejected look as he came up with his purse.
Chen Zhi nodded and said, "The larger shops are closed, and only these stalls are left." ”
"What about the restaurant owner said about Qing Fangzhai?" Zhang Yu asked suddenly.
Chen Zhi smiled and said, "I asked several people to find out, that Qingfangzhai is at the end of the street, and it should still be open." ”
"I just don't have a choice, so let's go to Qingfangzhai. ”
Zhang Yu paid attention, and the group walked straight to the end of the street.
The closer he got to the end of the alley, Zhang Yu was keenly aware that there were fewer and fewer stalls, and there were occasional pedestrians passing by on both sides of the street, one by one walking hurriedly, and the light of the street lamps with different light and darkness from far and near was yellow and simple, oozing a cold and desolate atmosphere.
"It's here!" Chen Zhi stopped, stretched out his hand, and pointed towards a store on the side of the road.
Zhang Yu looked up, only to see a bright and cold storefront standing alone in the corner of the street, the other shops around the store are dark, the doors and windows are locked, only an antique lintel hangs high, and the storefront with three ink-colored characters of "Qing Fangzhai" is quietly independent in the night.
Zhang Yu felt a trace of surprise in his heart, and couldn't help but release his senses, and secretly glanced at it.
As a result, it was found that in addition to the slightly thicker yin qi in this place than its place, there is nothing strange, and even because of the unique location of the store, this Qingfangzhai is faintly located in the center of the small world of the antique street, becoming a square inch of heaven and earth, and a place where yin and yang meet.
Although it is not a blessed land, it is better to balance yin and yang, harmonize the five elements, and live here for a long time, it will have the effect of prolonging life and increasing blessings.
Pressing the faint doubt in his heart, Zhang Yu and Chen Zhi slowly walked into the store, as soon as they entered the store, a refreshing sandalwood smell rushed into their noses, and several people were relieved, and they first took off a little guard.
The interior of the store is unique, with a wooden floor and a thick foot on it, so you can tell at first glance that it is a high-quality product.
There is a fireplace hanging on the wall, and the light shines from it, shining on the ornaments in the window, casting a faint halo on the antiques on the shelves, which is even more simple and dignified.
Unlike other antique shops, there are only a few cabinets in the spacious and translucent hall of Qingfangzhai, which houses a small number of antiques, including calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and most of them are some common items.
There is a counter at the entrance, there are a lot of jade objects in the counter, Zhang Yu and the others saw an old man with gray hair as soon as they entered the door, lying on the counter and falling asleep.
"It's only a few o'clock, this old man is still asleep when he opens the door to do business, and he is not afraid that others will steal his things. ”
Xiao Cai looked at the old man who was sleeping soundly, and said with some dissatisfaction.
Chen Zhi ignored it, paced into the hall, and after turning around a few times, he came out and said: "This Qingfangzhai doesn't seem to be worthy of its name, there are only a few collections in such a big place, maybe there is only such an empty shelf left in this store." ”
As soon as the words fell, the old man, who was still sleeping on the table, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and argued unhappily: "You know a fart, in the antique industry, if you put everything on the table, wouldn't it be clear to tell customers and opponents that you have hidden those goods and what goods you don't hide?"
"Isn't it wrong to do this?" Zhang Yu was not surprised by the old man's sudden awakening, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, and he asked along with the other party's words.
"What a layman. The old man blew a sigh and said disdainfully: "Competitors know that you have those goods, so they can find something that you don't have, fight with you, and lose your reputation;
Saying that, the old man slowly paced out of the counter, and said in a tone of lesson: "In the antique industry, what you want is a reputation of decades, or even hundreds of years, it doesn't matter if you lose money, the most important thing is that the reputation cannot be lost, and the collection cannot be easily known by others." ”
Zhang Yu smiled lightly: "Is this what you say in your business, 'don't open for three years, open for three years'?"
The old man glanced back at Zhang Yu, raised his head, snorted with his nostrils, and said, "That's your layman's statement, but it can be understood in this way." ”
"However," said the old man, his voice changed, and he said in another tone: "Although we Qingfangzhai are also in the antique business, we never deliberately deceive customers, and the value of the goods, where they come from, what evidence they have, etc., will all tell the truth." ”
"Then what kind of business do you still have, and how do you make money?" Chen Zhi was aroused by the crazy old man in front of him, and stepped forward to ask.
"Hehe, business, make money?" the old man laughed, shook his head, and said with a smile: "What we do is the antique business, and we have established a century-old rule, who said that we will make money from this!"
"It's not to make money, so why do you want to open this store?" Chen Zhi asked subconsciously.
The group was all blinded by the strange remarks of the old man in front of them, the old man's thinking was too out-of-the-box, and no one understood the meaning of his words for a while.
Hearing Chen Zhi's question, the old man glanced at the other party contemptuously, sneered, and said to himself: "The eyes are shallow, and rotten wood cannot be carved!"
Hearing the straightforward words, Chen Zhi's face turned red, and he suddenly felt a little ashamed, and just wanted to apologize, but Xiao Li next to him was babbling, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Hey, you old man don't open a store for money, is it still for something else, not for fame or profit, then what are you for?"
When the old man heard this, he didn't explain, he only glanced at Xiao Li, then flicked his sleeves, pointed to the gate and said, "Don't send it!"
Xiao Li was suddenly furious, and said angrily: "Call your boss, you are a janitor, do you treat guests like this?"
The old man is good-tempered, and when he saw Xiao Li's anxious eyebrows, he still had a warm expression, and he choked a sentence: "No, it's the shopkeeper of Qing Fangzhai, if you want to find the boss, you are looking for me." ”
Seeing that Xiao Li was anxious, Zhang Yu watched coldly, and then slowly stepped forward and pulled the other party.
After giving Chen Zhi a look, he came to the old man unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "I misunderstood you, we didn't have any malicious intentions here, we just accidentally hit a few gadgets, and I don't know if it's useful." I heard that Qing Fangzhai never cheated customers, so I brought it here and wanted to ask the master in the store to give me a palm. ”
The old man glanced at Zhang Yu and said with a smile: "You kid is quite good at talking, but he is also full of copper smell." ”
Zhang Yu smiled and followed the other party's words to answer two sentences, and the old man turned back to the topic.
"Since you've come from afar, I'll take out my things, and it's okay anyway, so I'll show you. ”
Zhang Yu nodded and motioned for Xiao Cai to put the leather bag on the table.
As the contents of the leather bag were taken out one by one, the old man's face, which was still interested, began to slowly turn cold, and later he was even more impatient, urging: "If you just have these tattereds, it is better not to look at them, these old bricks and rotten iron, you can't find them anywhere on the street, and you have to pack them whole, so it's too much!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cai, who had always been full of enthusiasm, suddenly collapsed, and even the movements in his hands were weak, and he was so annoyed that he finally lifted the leather bag upside down, and poured out the contents in one go, and he didn't worry about whether it would be broken.
Zhang Yu kept staring at the old man's face beside him, seeing that the disdain on his face was getting stronger and stronger, and after being sure that the other party was not a fake, he finally gave up his expectations for these "rags".
When the last incense burner clanged and gently smashed on the sandalwood table, Xiao Cai threw away the leather bag with an expressionless face, pulled the table, and said, "That's all." ”
At the same time, Zhang Yu suddenly noticed that the breath of the old man next to him changed, and there was a trace of fire in his eyes, and he looked along the other party's line of sight and found that what attracted the old man's attention was the incense burner that was inconspicuous in appearance and had been used as garbage by Zhang Yu before.
(Just point to see the collection rise alive!)
