Chapter Seventy-Nine: Ancient Books

The handle of the shopkeeper Tong is his stomach, and the person who holds his stomach is my cook Zhao Shuihe. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Zhao Shuihe's delicious mille-feuille oil cake, I am not afraid of offending or making fun of the shopkeeper Tong many times, because this guy can't control his own problem of eating white food and taking advantage of it.

Therefore, I smacked him a few times and drank some idle tea from him, but he could only stare dryly.

Chen Bamiao naturally didn't know what I thought in my heart, but when the shopkeeper Tong had an interesting relationship with us, as well as the weaknesses of my old neighbor, I told her a little, and this Bamiaoer also smiled slightly.

She teased at me: "What kind of boss and what kind of neighbor, next to a foodie as a neighbor, can be regarded as a like-minded interest." ”

"Where, where! The two of us are learning from each other's strengths, and ......" At this point, I thought about it for a while, and then recalled the abnormality of the shopkeeper Tong yesterday and the disappearance of Qian Bo for no reason.

Recalling the broken porcelain fragment that was now only half left, I continued to tell Chen Bamiao: "My neighbor is very good at ancient porcelain, and maybe he can also point out a thing or two about Qian Bo's disappearance." ”

Chen Bamiao was extremely concerned about Qian Bo's affairs, so after hearing that I knew such a "big name" as Shopkeeper Tong, I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say.

So, she took my hand and said, "Since it has something to do with Qian Bo, then you can also take me to see and understand?"

Looking at Chen Bamiao's eagerness, I nodded helplessly, and then led her to the next door and entered the "Auspicious Three Treasures Pavilion" of the shopkeeper Tong.

There is a feature of this shopkeeper's antique store that I still remember, that is, there is always a faint musty smell in addition to the constant temperature inside, and that smell has been repeatedly compared in my mind, and it always feels like moldy pickled pork.

Such an unpleasant smell, the shopkeeper himself will not like it, so every time I come over, in addition to the smell, I can also smell a heavy smell of incense herbs, according to my judgment, this smell is definitely made by the shopkeeper Tong in order to deliberately cover up those musty smells.

But in all fairness, even if you cover it up, it can be ...... It's still a little bit worse.

Under the double stimulation of moldy and sweet incense, I walked into the old man's shop with Chen Bamiao, who looked a little embarrassed, and through the layers of smoke, I raised my eyes and saw the shopkeeper Tong frowning, sitting behind the glass counter blowing tea and reading a book.

The old man stared down at the book, his expression was extremely serious, as if he was thinking about some profound question, or swimming in the world of books and couldn't extricate himself, so that when we entered the room, he didn't notice it at all.

At the same time, I noticed that the leaves of the book he was holding in his hand were also very yellow and brittle, as if they were some kind of martial arts cheats, or ancient documents or other ancient things.

At this time, there were no guests in the antique bureau, and I saw the shopkeeper Tong looking down at the ancient books, so I had a bad heart, first signaled Chen Bamiao not to make a sound, and I tiptoed over, quietly appeared on the side of the shopkeeper Tong, bowed down, and stared at the words on the ancient book with him.

I don't know much about orthographic characters, but after reading it for a while, I am still familiar with the words "Ximen Daguanren", "Pan Jinlian" and "Very Good and Very Powerful" on the page, and I thought of what this guy was reading for the first time.

In the contempt of the freshmen, I snorted coldly, and casually "complimented" the shopkeeper Tong: "The shopkeeper Tong really loves to learn, and he has studied classical love action masterpieces in broad daylight, which is very admirable!"

As he spoke, I stood behind his shopkeeper Tong, and this fierce sentence immediately stimulated the attentive shopkeeper Tong to stumble.

Ya put away the pages in horror, looked at me behind me in a panic, and looked back at Chen Bamiao at the door.

There are beautiful women present, and the old money fan who cherishes face, the shopkeeper Tong, is angry and doesn't dare to get angry at me, and he reads the "Little Yellow Book" in broad daylight, and saying it will make people feel that he is disrespectful to the old.

After smiling embarrassedly, the shopkeeper Tong scolded me and said, "Oh! This Boss Huo's light skills are getting better and better!

"a fart!" I casually pointed to the book he had just put inside the counter and said, "You were reading a book just now, and your eyes were about to fall out.

Seeing that I was mentioning the book again, the shopkeeper Tong immediately waved his hand in a panic and lied: "Oops! Boss Huo has good eyesight, this book is the out-of-print Water Margin that I newly collected from the countryside, I like it so much, I am fascinated when I look at it!"

"Water Margin?" I sneered, then pointed to the book, and asked the shopkeeper Tong again: "Why is there that kind ......of illustration in your Water Margin?

Halfway through my words, the shopkeeper Tong suddenly changed to a flattering smile.

He hurriedly waved his hand at me, and then said, "Boss Huo, you definitely didn't come here to buy books this time, right? Since you don't buy books, let's talk about something else? Are you thirsty? I have the best sharp tea here, 'Monkey Pit Monkey Kui', let's talk while drinking?"

Seeing the concession of the shopkeeper Tong, I knew that this old boy was completely convinced like the last few times, so there was no need to continue to forcibly pull other people's old faces.

So, I walked out of the counter, sat down with Chen Bamiao, and said casually to the shopkeeper: "Don't hide it, brother I really have something to do today, I want to ask you." ”

When I said this, the immortal shopkeeper Tong was already eagerly carrying a teabowl and a teapot to bring new water to the two of us.

As soon as he heard me ask, where did he dare to prevaricate, he immediately nodded and responded to me: "Boss Huo has anything to ask, we must know everything, and we will say everything!"

"Okay! Then I'll say it!" With the words of the shopkeeper Tong, I naturally no longer care, so I opened my mouth and told the old shopkeeper: "You have participated in the opening ceremony of the exhibition and the competition, and you have also seen those valuable porcelain, right?"

See me ask about porcelain. The shopkeeper Tong's hand pouring us tea suddenly stopped, and he looked up in amazement, looking at us both with a worried and complicated expression.

Then, he spoke, "You know, what's wrong?"

Looking at the strange expression of the shopkeeper Tong, Chen Bamiao first asked calmly: "Boss Tong, it's like this, I have an uncle who won the first place in the exhibition competition yesterday, but this morning, the person disappeared, leaving only some clothes and half a porcelain bottle base. ”

"And ......," I added, "the base of the porcelain vase is the plum vase that was the provisional champion of the day." ”

Just when I said the word plum bottle, the purple sand teapot in the hands of the shopkeeper Tong suddenly fell to the ground, the teapot fell to pieces, and the old shopkeeper was also retreating again and again, with a panicked face.
