Chapter 62: Shopkeeper Xiao
Amazed.
Wang Zhuyun carried the dead little tree, looked at such a golden brick under his feet, and looked back at Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling in disbelief: "Really...... Really? ”
Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were also equally dumbfounded.
Is there really one?
Since Hong Jiangtao's death, this shop has been inhabited by Pi San Monkey and Huang Cuiying one after another, and it still hides such a secret?
Ji Yuanhai felt that this matter was really incredible.
"Is it real gold?" Wang Zhuyun put the little tree aside and asked Ji Yuanhai.
"It seems to be real, otherwise there would be no need to toss like this." Ji Yuanhai said, "Zhuyun, don't touch that thing yet, let's take a basin of water and wash it." ”
"Hong Jiangtao, Pi San Monkey, and those people are really inferior; They want to hide things, and if they don't do it, they will have some disgusting tricks. ”
Wang Zhuyun nodded and fetched a basin of water.
The era took a pair of gloves and put the four-five gold bricks into the water.
After cleaning, it didn't change color, there was no abnormality, Ji Yuanhai turned it around through his gloves: "It should be a real gold brick, or a big gold bar." ”
Wang Zhuyun couldn't help but say: "This is left by Hong Jiangtao?" ”
"It's definitely not Huang Cuiying, and it shouldn't be Pi San Monkey...... It can only be Hong Jiangtao. Ji Yuanhai said.
If Huang Cuiying knew that there were gold bricks here, she couldn't help but take them away; If Pi San Monkey knew that there were gold bricks, he would definitely not be able to stay here.
Wang Zhuyun said with emotion: "It's really buried under the tree!" I also said casually, looking for fun. ”
Lu Heling asked, "How much can this gold brick cost?" ”
Ji Yuanhai said: "How much is a gram of gold now?" If it's the right thing, it's not bad to change it for money. ”
The main reason is that the purchasing power of money is too strong now, and the value preservation effect of gold in hands is far less than that of Ji Yuanhai Investment in doing business or buying real estate.
Ji Yuanhai's question stopped Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun, and they are not the kind of people who like to wear gold and silver, of course, they don't know much about the current gold price.
Ji Yuanhai also smiled himself: "Let's inquire about the price of gold tomorrow, for now, let's get a tool first, I'll see if there are other gold bricks down here, maybe there is more than one." ”
Lu Heling found an iron shovel and handed it to Ji Yuanhai.
Ji Yuanhai dug twice, and dug out a ball of oiled paper from below, as well as two gold bricks of the same size, which were estimated to be more than four taels.
"It should be the root of the tree that ripped this oil paper bag open...... Ji Yuanhai looked at it and said, "Zhuyun, you have brought me a lot of fortune today." ”
"If you hadn't persevered, we wouldn't have looked for it; If we hadn't moved this tree, we wouldn't have found it. ”
Wang Zhuyun said with a smile: "This matter is not the credit of me alone, but the credit of the three of us together." ”
"It was He Ling who reminded you, you didn't feel normal, and then I felt fun, I tried, the three of us, we can't do without one."
Ji Yuanhai nodded: "That's a good thing, the three of us can't do without one." ”
After Ji Yuanhai finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Zhuyun.
Wang Zhuyun's cheeks were slightly red, with a smile on his face, and he turned his eyes to the side: "Do you think there will be gold bricks down here?" ”
Ji Yuanhai was slightly stunned: "And?" No way? ”
"Dig it anyway, let's try it." Wang Zhuyun said.
Ji Yuanhai nodded: "What you said is also right. ”
I dug up the soil with a shovel, and after digging for a while, I came across something a little hard.
Ji Yuanhai said to Wang Zhuyun with some amazement: "Your intuition is really accurate!" ”
"There's something there!"
Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling were very surprised, there were unexpected gains in addition to the three gold bricks?
That's great.
Ji Yuanhai dug up the hard thing, it turned out to be a small wooden box, which had rotted not very decently, and with a gentle pry with the corner of the shovel, the wooden box was opened.
Inside was a rusty tin box.
Ji Yuanhai opened the tin box, and inside it was something wrapped in oiled paper.
Tearing open the oiled paper bag, the surprises of Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun all turned into surprise - a pistol and ten rounds of ammunition were still well preserved.
Ji Yuanhai silently put the things back up, buried them again, and moved a moon flower to plant on it.
Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun helped clean up the dirt in the yard.
Then the three of them took three gold bricks, took off the painting "I am the only one in the sky and the world", and returned to Fangcao Xuan.
"That was also buried by Hong Jiangtao?"
Closing the door of Fangcao Xuan, Wang Zhuyun couldn't help but ask.
Ji Yuanhai shook his head: "It is estimated that Hong Jiangtao's father or grandfather buried it, it was a turbulent era, and there was a shortage of soldiers, and it was understandable to have something to protect itself." ”
"It's amazing for us right now."
Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun both nodded: Can it not be amazing? As soon as the pistols and bullets came out, they were all stunned.
I never thought that the "treasure" under the gold brick was actually this thing.
"It's useless to us anyway, so you don't have to take it personally." Ji Yuanhai said, "Just let it sit in the dirt." ”
Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun nodded in agreement.
It's better not to touch this kind of troublesome thing.
After that, Ji Yuanhai chatted with the two of them and asked them to go back to the back room to rest.
……………………………………………………
Early the next morning, the Epoch Sea opened its doors and continued to sell flowers and plants.
At about eleven o'clock in the morning, Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi came together, and by the way, they also brought Yuan Zhonghua.
The three of them carried wine and food, and made Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun all laugh.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Huo, if you are like this, it will be too convenient for me to invite you in the future."
"Send an invitation, just wait for you to come up here and invite me to dinner!"
Ji Yuanhai said with a smile.
Yuan Zhonghua said: "I just like to drink, and I didn't bring anything else except wine." ”
Huo Lianshi smiled and said, "I'll buy some dishes, it's not too polite, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, you guys are polite together, I don't have to be polite."
Ji Yuanhai smiled and let them in to talk, and after entertaining two guests by himself, he closed the door for dinner.
A table in the back room was fully prepared with food and drink, and there were no other outsiders, so the six of them sat down around the table.
Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun don't drink, and Xiao Hongyi, Ji Yuanhai, Huo Lianshi, and Yuan Zhonghua all poured a little wine.
After taking a seat, beckoning to eat and drink a few times, Ji Yuanhai opened his mouth and said:
"Brother Yuan, let me ask you about something."
Yuan Zhonghua is a drinker, others don't raise a glass, he himself takes a sip and says: "You are still polite to ask me about things?" Just say no? ”
"How has the price of gold been lately? I'm going to buy a gold ring, isn't the price of gold expensive? Ji Yuanhai said.
Yuan Zhonghua smiled: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's not expensive at all." ”
"This year, the price of gold has fluctuated a lot, in January, it was more than 60 yuan a gram, and now it is less than 30 yuan a gram."
"I guess the gold price is the lowest now, and it's unlikely that it will go any lower."
"You buy a gold ring now, and if you sell it back in a year, you will still have to make money."
Ji Yuanhai nodded after hearing this, he already understood, now that he buys gold, it is difficult to say how much he earns or how little he earns, but he definitely can't lose much; Relatively speaking, the price of gold is now at the bottom, as long as it is sold, the eight achievements are a loss.
So now is not a good time to sell those three gold bricks.
He said with a smile in his mouth: "Brother Yuan, according to what I say, I buy ten or eight gold rings, and after a year, I will sell them out, will I be able to earn a few hundred yuan." ”
Yuan Zhonghua nodded: "A gram of gold earns ten yuan, you earn twenty or thirty yuan for a ring, can you earn two or three hundred next year?" ”
"But you also have to think clearly, this gold is easy to exchange from the inside of your hand, and then buy it back, but it is not that price!"
"This year, the price of gold has really fluctuated, it's so cheap, I don't think it could be cheaper."
Huo Lianshi asked curiously, "Brother Yuan, why is it so cheap?" ”
"Of course, we have to start with international events, and ...... say" Yuan Zhonghua is really a know-it-all, not to mention that he knows astronomy and geography, but also talks about many things around him, and things at home and abroad, he has said the same.
Ji Yuanhai, Huo Lianshi and others listened to him analyze the trend of gold prices, and they all nodded again and again.
"Brother Yuan, you are definitely a talent hidden in the people, in the past, as long as there was a peasant uprising, find a person like you, that is Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing and the same person." Ji Yuanhai said with a smile.
Yuan Zhonghua scolded with a smile: "Xiao Ji, what you said is uneasy and kind!" Do you know when they are not good birds? You compare me to them, do they have half my character? ”
Ji Yuanhai laughed.
Huo Lianshi also smiled, and then looked at Ji Yuanhai:
"Yuan Hai, I haven't asked you yet...... Today you asked me to come with Hongyi, saying that you have something to ask us for, what is the matter? ”
Ji Yuanhai pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Huo, that's the case. ”
"You should all know that Pi San Monkey occupies the original Hong Jiangtao's shop on this side of Bird and Flower Street; Hong Jiangtao had already been killed by the surnamed Yao, and after Pi San Monkey entered the police station, he admitted that the shop was abducted by him and belonged to stolen goods. ”
"Of course, they also returned this shop to Hong Jiangtao's wife, Huang Cuiying."
Huang Cuiying hurriedly sold the shop to me and left with the money; So in addition to Yerba Kuena Xuan, I have another store. ”
Huo Lianshi was pleasantly surprised: "That's good! Yuan Hai, He Ling, I have to congratulate you, your life is getting better and better, and Mother Ye will definitely be very happy! ”
Xiao Hongyi stood up, held the wine glass and said, "It turns out that we were invited to celebrate together!" Then you really have to celebrate, the bad guys of Pi San Monkey have finally been punished, and Yuanhai you have a new source of wealth! ”
"Come, let's do this together, and everyone will be happy!"
She took the initiative to stand up and take a toast, and it could be seen that she was indeed different from ordinary women.
Because what she said brought the atmosphere to life, and everyone couldn't spoil the atmosphere.
Ji Yuanhai, Yuan Zhonghua, and Huo Lianshi toasted together, and Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun also poured tea and stood up together.
After drinking this glass of wine, Ji Yuanhai spoke: "Brother Huo, Sister Hongyi, I invited you here, not only because of celebrating together, but also for another reason. ”
"In this shop, I'm going to deal in some weird gadgets from all over the world; Unlike my Yerba Buena restaurant, which is open two days a week, I'm going to keep this store open often. ”
"But I and He Ling are college students, so we definitely can't take care of this, so we can only find the right person."
"This person must be someone we trust......"
When Huo Lianshi heard this, she groaned a little: "Yuan Hai, what do you and He Ling mean, do you need me to drop out of school to help you take care of your business?" ”
"If you feel like that's right, I'm not out of it......"
When Xiao Hongyi heard this, he immediately frowned.
It would be a great loss to drop out of school like this.
But if you really want to think about it from the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, Xiao Hongyi also feels that she has to agree - who are Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling? It is the daughter and son-in-law of Ye's mother. Mother Ye has the grace of reinvention of Huo Lianshi, and everything about Huo Lianshi now can be regarded as a little bit of guidance from Mother Ye.
In order to repay the favor, Huo Lianshi did this, and Xiao Hongyi felt that he could only support him, not oppose him.
The two of us are righteous, not the kind of ungrateful white-eyed wolves!
Ji Yuanhai said: "Brother Huo, how can this work? ”
"You are a college student at a provincial university, and you will be directly assigned a job after graduation, and your future future is unlimited, so you can't drop out."
"If you don't drop out, then take a temporary suspension? Will the school agree? Huo Lianshi asked with some uncertainty.
Ji Yuanhai said with a smile: "Brother Huo, you are really wrong, I didn't plan to let you drop out of school or suspend school to help me, I originally invited you to come, not to let you help." ”
"He Ling and I think that it would be best if Sister Hongyi could help us and take care of the business of this store!"
Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi were both dumbfounded.
"Red? Can she do it? ”
Xiao Hongyi waved his hand directly: "I...... I'm sure I can't! I'm a fool of the world, it's okay to be a showman, I don't know anything else, I can't! ”
"Yuan Hai, you think too highly of me, I really can't do it......"
As he spoke, Xiao Hongyi, who had always been chivalrous, was a little embarrassed and blushed.
Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Sister Hongyi, you don't have to worry about the purchase of all goods, all goods are sold at a price, you only need to remember the price, don't worry about anything else, just sell things, can't you do this kind of thing?" ”
Xiao Hongyi still shook his head: "If it's really that easy, it's the same if you find someone else to do it." ”
Ji Yuanhai said: "We can't believe others doing this." Sister Hongyi, we believe in you and want to ask for your help. ”
When Xiao Hongyi heard this, he only felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, and subconsciously wanted to say: Since you look up to me, I will help with this favor!
But before the words came out, he suppressed it in the end, and looked at Huo Lianshi: "You say, can I do it?" ”
Huo Lianshi was also a little confused and uneasy in her heart: "Yuan Hai, is she okay with the red clothes?" She doesn't know how to count, and when the time comes, the things will be sold, but how can she account for you? ”
Ji Yuanhai said: "The total income is calculated once a month, and there is no rent anyway, as long as you sell it, you will make money, and the rest will not be counted much." ”
Huo Lianshi hesitated, always feeling that Xiao Hongyi might not be doing well and delaying things.
Can she do it?
Yuan Zhonghua said on the side: "What is there to hesitate about this matter? ”
"Xiao Ji and his family are the proprietors, and Xiao Hongyi is the shopkeeper, haven't you understood? As long as the shopkeeper doesn't play tricks with the owner and doesn't deduct the money himself, anyone can do this. ”
"But how long has it been since Xiao Ji and his family came to the provincial capital? What are their truly credible and reliable people? Find someone at random, you can write and count a lot of eyes, how much money do you have to steal from Xiao Ji's two hands? ”
"You say yes?"
As soon as Yuan Zhonghua said this, Xiao Hongyi immediately said: "If you want me to do it, I will definitely not deduct a penny!" They must give Yuan Hai and they will keep all the money, even if the mouse bites the money, I will pay Yuan Hai. ”
Yuan Zhonghua smiled: "Look, isn't this enough? ”
"Xiao Ji and his family want such a reliable person!"
Xiao Hongyi finally nodded: "Then I'll give it a try?" ”
Huo Lianshi said: "Let's try for a month, if you really don't have the ability to make a mess of things, you have to tell Yuan Hai and them quickly, you can't delay their business!" ”
Ji Yuanhai said with a smile: "Brother Huo, Sister Hongyi, how can I delay my business?" It doesn't matter if you lose it all. ”
"The top priority is that I and He Ling go to college, and Huo Ge also has to go to college."
"The business thing, that is, we try to come, is not so important; Sister Red, don't take this matter too seriously! ”
Xiao Hongyi nodded, but what she thought in her heart was: If I can't do this thing, if I don't have money, I won't have the face to see people!
Yuan Zhonghua took another sip of wine at this time and said, "Xiao Hongyi, let me ask you something." ”
"You're selling things here, will your friends come?"
Xiao Hongyi immediately said: "Do you need to say this? Yuan Hai and He Ling's serious affairs, how can I get them involved? I won't let them know. ”
"Although my friends are all good men who are very righteous, but in the end they are not familiar with Yuan Hai and He Ling, they will not spoil my business, and they may spoil Yuan Hai and He Ling's business."
"I'm sure I won't tell them about it."
Huo Lianshi also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Hongyi, you must not say anything about this." ”
"Yuan Hai and Heling's business, it's not something we can do with morality!"
"Well, of course I do." Xiao Hongyi said.
Yuan Zhonghua looked at Ji Yuanhai and smiled slightly: Look, things are right.
Ji Yuanhai also had no other worries, and said to Xiao Hongyi: "Then this matter is settled!" ”
"Sister Hongyi, you said that you would give you forty yuan a month, is it appropriate?"
