Chapter 11: The Lintou Wrench

"Do you know how to cook?" The man found a stool, wiped the ash from it, and sat cross-legged.

I was stunned for a moment, is this a little bit worse than the previous question? But still nodded.

"Do you know how to clean?"

I nodded.

"Are you bold?"

I still nodded.

The man grinned, "Very good, I will start work tomorrow, with food and lodging, and a salary of 50 a month, do you want to do it?" ”

I seemed to have nodded numbly, and subconsciously nodded, and by the time I reacted, the man had already handed me the key.

"This is the key here, open at half past seven in the morning and close at half past seven in the evening, and you can recommend the ones on the left to the general guests, and the ones on the right if you feel a little rich."

I took the key, "but I don't even know what these are." ”

The man took out a thick book from under the table and patted it on my chest, "This is a summary of everything in the store that I have organized, with pictures and words, vivid images, memorized." ”

"The boss... That one... I don't know what your name is? ”

"Grandpa, Grandpa, you just call me Grandpa."

Early the next morning, I left the room and came to the grandfather's pavilion to officially go to work, and Panjiayuan was still silent.

I took the key and opened the door, and the dust on my face choked and coughed, and there was not so much ash when I came yesterday, how could it have fallen so much ash in one night.

I sighed and said to myself: No wonder you ask me if I can clean, it turns out that it is waiting for me here!

Roll up your arms and sleeves and start to tidy up, fortunately, I thought that I couldn't be late for the first day of work, and I came early, otherwise the guests would come and the house would be full of ashes, and I would not be able to protect my job.

It took a long time to clean up this small house, which is much better than when I entered the door just now.

Thinking that I could save my job, I breathed a sigh of relief, sat down at the counter and took out the 'treasure book' that my grandfather gave me yesterday and read it.

Such a detailed explanation, sure enough, only if I have spent a lot of effort to sort it out, I will write it in such detail.

I looked at the objects on the shelves while comparing the pictures in the book, and realized that everything on the shelves was actually a real old object! None of them are highly imitated. I gasped, Grandpa... Where do you get so many genuine products, and each piece is worth a lot of money.

Not to mention that they are different in age and have different values, let's just say that this piece of the tiger head of the Qianlong period, the tiger head at the end is really lifelike, the abdomen is sagging up and down, and it is turned upside down like the head of a tiger, and there is also a 'Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty'. Just this Fang Zun is worth 100,000 yuan!

There are also Yongyang porcelain, topaz dragon pattern bottles, amethyst pots, unicorn pattern plates, Northern Song Dynasty white glazed bowls...

I looked at the exquisite pattern carved on the bottle, so that I didn't notice that my grandfather had been standing behind me for a long time, and when I reluctantly turned around, my grandfather's face suddenly appeared in front of me, and I was so frightened that I panicked and hit the shelf behind me.

Seeing that the topaz dragon pattern bottle was about to fall to the ground, my grandfather quickly caught it, and my heart was swallowed back into my stomach.

"Look so fascinating? Like these? Grandpa wiped the bottle with his sleeve and put it back in its original position, and when he saw that I was still stunned, he asked.

I came back to my senses in a trance and nodded, "Well, I haven't seen these things before, and I don't understand, just now after reading the books you sorted out and then looking at these antiques, I feel that the ancients are really great." ”

I saw my grandfather smile and light the incense burner on the case, "History has left far more than these things. ”

What puzzles me is that all the goods in the grandfather's pavilion are genuine, but the people who come every day are either illiterate or simply no one patronizes. Grandpa didn't worry at all, he sat in the store leisurely every day and drank tea to feed the fish, and the store manager was really not in a hurry. In this regard, grandpa always smiled, "What should come will always come." ”

Unconsciously, I have been working in the grandfather's pavilion for a month, today is the day of the salary, I got up early, I didn't sleep so well all night last night when I was excited, and my mind was full of thoughts about the salary to go around, to see if I could inquire about the whereabouts of the blind man.

I waited and waited in the store, but I didn't see my grandfather come over at noon, and I was a little drumming in my heart, should I know that I would be paid today? No, he's still here, and all the old gadgets in it are worth a lot of money, so he won't run away for fifty dollars, right?

I was thinking about it here, when my grandfather ran in panting, sat on a chair and stretched out his hand to greet me, "Xiao Cheng, quickly pour me a glass of water!" I almost didn't die of thirst, isn't it just a wrench, as for chasing me for so long! ”

I poured the water and handed it to him, and he took a sip and drank it, "This cup is too small, you can take a basin from the kitchen and fill it for me." ”

I really didn't believe he could finish a basin of water, but when I watched him finish the last sip of water in the basin, I threw in the towel.

After a while, when he recovered, I dared to ask, "Grandpa, you just was... Chased by a dog? ”

Grandpa looked at me with a look of surprise on his face, "How do you know?" ”

My eyes widened too, terrified! I didn't just say it casually, I didn't expect it to be true!

"Grandpa, what are you doing when the dog is fine?"

I saw my grandfather scratching the back of his head and smiling embarrassedly, "Hehe, didn't I just snatch something from it!" Besides, that thing didn't belong to it in the first place, and I brought it here purely because I didn't want it to destroy the heavens! ”

This excuse is probably only he can say.

"By the way, do I have to pay you today?" Grandpa looked at me with Erlang's legs crossed.

I nodded, although there was no expression on my face, but I had already set off fireworks in my heart, and it must be false to say that I was not excited, after all, it was the first time I had made so much money.

Grandpa took out an envelope from his coat pocket and put it on the table, and I was about to reach for it, when he put an inky wrench next to the envelope.

The general wrench is a jade wrench, but this ink wrench is still the first time I have seen it in a sedan chair. The hand I was going to hold the envelope turned to get the wrench.

The wrench felt cold in his hand, and when he looked closely, there was a golden outline of the ink unicorn engraved on it. I felt the iron gourd bottle in my chest jump slightly, and I quietly turned around and looked at it in a brighter place.

"You kid has a good brain, you haven't learned much in Panjiayuan this month, what do you think of this thing?"

I rubbed the inner wall of the wrench, and my heart was shocked!

I glanced back at my grandfather and saw him leisurely wiping the incense burner on the case, the corners of his mouth smiling rather than smiling.
