The ancient city of Baicheng, you can see the vast grassland in spring, thousands of horses galloping, in summer you can see the blue sky and blue daffodils and cranes flying, in autumn you can listen to the vast reeds and birds, and in winter you can enjoy thousands of miles of snow fields and ice fishing. Although the ancient city has a new look, it does not look much different from other modern cities.

And everything here, Lao Wang was already familiar with many years ago, but this time he came to find someone, and it was not his previous state of mind.

Because Baicheng is close to the 800-mile Hanhai Sea and has two major protected areas, the scenery is beautiful, and all kinds of rare items emerge in endlessly, attracting many monks to gather, and many ordinary tourists also come here.

Baicheng is not far from Tongyu, where Lao Wang lives, and is located at the junction of Jilin, Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia. Sitting in Songliao Horqin, embracing the Nenjiang River and Taoer River, the neck belt is large and small Xing'an Mountains, embracing the two national nature reserves of Xianghai and Momog, Wang He's Lanhai Pavilion is on a mysterious crane island in the Xianghai Conservation Area.

The world's A-level wetland Xianghai Nature Reserve is the hometown of the red-crowned crane, and the diverse and primitive ecology of lake waters, pampas and reeds, swamp grasslands, sand dunes and yellow elm in the area constitute a special ecological landscape to the sea. No wonder Lanhai Pavilion is so confident, the so-called outstanding people, this saying has been around for a long time.

The advantage of geographical location has made Baicheng develop rapidly and become a prosperous human settlement. There are many incognito monks here, there are also many businessmen seeking development, and there are many tourists in an endless stream, it can be said that there are all kinds of people, and it is precisely in this way that the rapid development of Baicheng can be promoted.

On the most prosperous and lively pedestrian street in Baicheng, there is a Wuxinzhai, which is a place where everything is bought and sold. Because there are often all kinds of rare treasures here in Baicheng, the business is the most profitable, and this shop is currently the largest shop that the monks around Qianli care about.

Master Rong Fei is now in this shop, because he is bald and still very fat, looks like Maitreya, and is usually kind and generous in front of people, so he got the nickname "Buddha".

Of course, Master Rongfei of the "Buddha" is not the boss, he is a courtier. The word court, equivalent to the shopkeeper, this title is the custom of Hui merchants.

In China, the status of businessmen has always been relatively low. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the ten major merchant gangs began to rise, Shanxi merchant gang, Huizhou merchant gang, Shaanxi merchant gang (Qin Shang Gang), Shandong Shang Gang, Fujian Shang Gang (Fujian Shang Gang, Chaoshan Shang Gang, broadly including Taiwan, Singapore and other Min language people), Dongting Shang Gang, Guangdong Shang Gang (Chao Shang, Guangfu, Hakka), Jiangyou Shang Gang, Longyou Shang Gang, Ningbo Shang Gang. Among them, the Jin merchants, the Hui merchants, and the Chaoshang merchants were the most powerful and influential of the three major merchant gangs.

Huizhou people's business, their goods are everywhere, their land is everywhere, their time is omnipresent, their calculations are omniscient, their benefits are omnipresent, and their rights are omnipresent.

The title of Huizhou Dynasty has spread along with the footprints of Huizhou people doing business, and has gradually become known to people in various industries and regions, and has become the name of Huizhou merchants in various places. Huizhou people do all kinds of business, but the best thing is to open pawns, and there is even a saying in this industry that "no pawns are not bad".

It is said that because Huizhou people account for the vast majority, the hidden language of the pawnbroking industry is also called "Huiyu", which is produced according to the Huizhou dialect combined with the local pronunciation. In Beijing, the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten used in the pawnshop are read as "press", search, shame, crooked, material, pretty, stupid, payment, spoon, "eat" is "copying", "no" is "wonderful", "old lady" is "lett", and "little daughter-in-law" is "washing Xuanfen". The pawn in the Northeast also uses "Hui language", but with a slight addition of a Northeast accent, such as the number from one to ten is: shake, press, thin, sweep, tail, material, knock, run, horn, spoon. This shows the great power of Huizhou people in the pawnbroking industry.

Since most of the pawnshops in various places are opened by Huizhou courts. People gradually got used to the fact that as soon as they entered the pawnshop, they opened their mouths and called them "Chaofeng". Later, the court simply became the general name of the pawnshop shopkeeper, regardless of whether the Hui people opened the business, all of them were crowned with the court.

This Master Rong Fei has a very difficult background, and he has been a quasi-orphan since he was a child, because his parents left him at an early age, and it is said that he crossed the ocean to eliminate all evil capitalism.

At that time, he had to be introduced by relatives, and he worked as a handyman in this shop, when this store was still a little-known small store, and now Rong Fei has been working here for more than 20 years, and has long become the shopkeeper of this store, and this Wuxinzhai has also become the largest and famous Wanbao Zhai in Baicheng. The rise of this shop is all due to the master Rongfei, who is known as "Buddha".

Master Rong Fei now in addition to reporting the business situation to the owner and receiving some distinguished guests, he does not need to be personally involved in idle things.

The so-called proprietor, that is, the father-in-law of Master Rong Fei, was the original owner of this shop. In fact, from the moment Master Rong Fei entered his store when he was a child, he fell in love with this child's cleverness and honesty, as well as an innate compassion that others did not have.

Although the business in the store was not good before, the old owner never treated Master Rong Fei badly, and the old owner can be said to treat Master Rong Fei as his son. When the old club used to teach Master Rong Fei, who had not yet become a climate, he never hid his clumsiness, and taught Master Rong Fei everything he knew, even if he didn't know it, he would invite Mr. to teach.

Master Rong Fei is also very grateful, and he earnestly learns to do business, especially the innate vision and sensitivity to business prospects, which are all at the level of one in the world. Gradually, he took care of the business better and better, and then the owner handed over all the business at hand to him, and then Master Rong Fei did his best to run this small shop into the largest grocery store in Baicheng, of course, everyone still likes to call this kind of grocery store with everything called Wanbao Zhai.

Now the title of Master Rongfei is called less and less, only some people who don't know the roots or come here will shout a word of Master Rongfei when they meet for the first time, and in the local area, even those who have a head and a face, when they see him, Master Rongfei has to call him "Buddha".

Of course, Master Rong Fei's most powerful thing is definitely not business, although he has some talent in business, but just with this false reputation, he can't afford the title of "Buddha", especially in Baicheng, where the heroes gather.

If you ask the "Buddha" what is the most powerful thing about Master Rongfei in Baicheng, as long as you know a little bit about things, you will tell you in unison, "fortune telling".

Master Rongfei, the "Buddha", never missed fortune telling, the iron mouth is straightforward, a hexagram every day, a hexagram of gold. Whatever is said is not unfulfilled, but because it is against the principles of heaven to tell fortunes, it is easy to be punished by heaven and damage to Yangshou, so now the Buddha is now easy not to tell people hexagrams, and he is semi-secluded.
