Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

Chapter 2734 Return to Antique Street

After Li Yalin finished speaking, the old man An Qishan, whose condition has improved a lot in the past few days and his memory is gradually recovering, suddenly said with a serious face: "Yalin is right! We used to be too easy to deny by intuition. One thing, that's why I haven't found Chen'er for so many years! Sometimes when you do things, you have to go against your intuition!"

An Chongqiu nodded and said: "After my sister's accident, we searched for a while in Jinling, but we didn't find Chen'er's whereabouts. At that time, we judged by intuition that Chen'er must have left Jinling. Since then, we have been in Jinling. I have searched for Chen'er somewhere, but have not found anything for 20 years, maybe Chen'er never left Jinling at all!"

An Kaifeng was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, frowned and said, "Thinking about it now, the water in Jinling is indeed unfathomable! Besides, based on the scattered clues we have so far, I speculate that Mr. They are from Jinling!"

"Indeed." An Chongqiu also agreed: "Engong chose to hold the Huichun Pill Auction in Jinling, and gave this opportunity to the local Song Group in Jinling. After Dan’s auction, he contributed more than [-] billion U.S. dollars in taxes to Jinling, and also donated tens of billions of U.S. dollars in charitable funds, which should be the auction proceeds from the auction of Huichun Dan!”

Speaking, An Chongqiu said: "Besides, there is another thing. After the auction, the Song Group invested more than [-] million US dollars to build a large welfare home in Jinling. It is said that the design scale of this welfare home is the world's largest. Most importantly, it can not only provide tens of thousands of orphans with their daily necessities, but also provide them with excellent educational resources. If you don’t have deep feelings for Jinling, you will definitely not be able to make such a decision!”

Li Yalin's eyes lit up immediately, and he blurted out: "Building a welfare home? It seems that this benefactor attaches great importance to orphans! Could it be that he was also born as an orphan, so he takes care of orphans so much?"

An Chongqiu nodded and said, "What Lao Li said is also possible."

Ye Chen's aunt An Youyou couldn't help but said, "If you investigate the welfare home in Jinling, will you have a chance to find out the identity of your benefactor?"

Hearing this, Li Yalin's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Isn't this just drawing inferences? Following this line of investigation, not only can you find out Engong, but you can also find out that Engong is actually the grandson of the An family!"

At this time, An Chongqiu waved his hand suddenly and said: "I think we should stop searching for the identity of benefactor, he knows every step of ours, if we go to search for his identity rashly again, I am afraid that benefactor will treat us Dissatisfied."

An Kaifeng agreed and said: "Brother is right, since we have come to Jinling, it is equivalent to being under the nose of Engong. At this time, we should try to keep a low profile and try not to make any small moves."

Li Yalin looked at the serious two brothers, and felt anxious for a while, but he didn't dare to reveal too much, he could only sigh in his heart: "You two brothers are really crouching dragons and phoenix chicks. If you miss this clue, you will find Ye Chen again." , I am afraid it will be as difficult as reaching the sky!"

……

At dawn the next day, in the northern suburbs of Jinling.

Before the sky really brightened, Zhang Ermao was already standing by the dry toilet in a farmyard.

Holding a shovel in his hand, he dug out the three magical artifacts that Ye Chen had given him from the smelly soil beside the toilet pit.

These three artifacts were mixed with the rotten and smelly pig internal organs and buried for two days. When they were dug out, there was a pungent stench.

He pinched his nose to pick out the three magic artifacts from the soil, and carefully brushed off the dirt around the magic artifacts with a soft brush, then wiped them carefully with a dry towel, and put them under his nose to smell them vigorously.

At this time, the smell of blood and fishy smell has faded a lot. According to Zhang Ermao's previous experience of disposing of antiques, this smell is very close to the smell of jade wares newly produced in the raw pit.

The things that come out of the pit, especially the items that are buried next to the body, such as jade, will have this faint stench no matter how they are cleaned after being dug out of the ground for a period of time. A year later, there will still be a faint residue. Ordinary people may not be able to smell anything, but people like Zhang Ermao who often deal with antiques can tell the difference as long as they smell it with their noses.

The two pieces of jade were originally old things. Now that they have this kind of smell, people who are knowledgeable will almost conclude that these things came from the pit.

After confirming that the things were all right, Zhang Ermao hurriedly drove back to the city and went straight to the Antique Street.

In the antique industry in Jinling, the business rule of working at sunrise and resting at sunset is still maintained. According to insiders, you can’t do antique business when it’s dark, because you’re afraid that it will be dark. Second, I am afraid that I will be robbed in the dark.

Therefore, merchants and stall owners in Antique Street basically start their business at dawn and close their stalls before dark.

Today coincided with Saturday, so when Zhang Ermao arrived at the antique street, the antique street was already as bustling as a vegetable market in the early morning.

Zhang Ermao is already an old man in Antique Street. After following Hong Wu some time ago, he left here and never came back. So when he suddenly appeared, many people recognized him and greeted him warmly: " Brother Ermao, why do you have time to come back and take a look today?"

"That's right, Brother Ermao, you are now a popular person beside Hong Wuye, why do you still have time to come and see us poor brothers?"

Zhang Ermao thought to himself: "When I was swindled in Antique Street, none of you looked down on me. Whoever yelled at me and talked about Zhang Ermao all day long? Now I follow Hong Wu Lord, all of you have started calling me Brother Ermao."

Thinking of this, Zhang Ermao sneered twice, and said to the crowd who came up: "To tell you the truth, I am not with Hong Wuye anymore."

"What?" The man who warmly called him Brother Ermao just now asked immediately, "Zhang Ermao, you are doing well with Hong Wuye, why did you suddenly say that you don't want to follow?"

"That's right." The other man said, "I said Zhang Ermao, if you eat and drink spicy food with Mr. Hong, isn't it much better than messing around with these things in the Antique Street?"

A woman selling fake copper coins said with a smile, "Zhang Ermao, you must have made some mistake and you were kicked out by Mr. Hong, right?"

Zhang Ermao waved his hand and said casually: "Don't mention these things, I'm going to come back and set up my stall again."

As he said that, he looked at the man who greeted him first, and said, "Zhao Laosi, after you know I'm gone, I'll lend you my original stall for free. Look, now that I'm back, you still give me my money." Give me that position back."

The man called Zhao Laosi immediately waved his hand and said, "Hey, don't, Zhang Ermao, when you left, you agreed that you would not come back to this antique street, so let me use this stall, this man Man, one spittle and one nail, you can't go back on what you say."

Zhang Ermao said with a sneer: "Fourth, you think I'm a tiger in Pingyang, don't you? I might as well tell you that I left from Hong Wuye. It wasn't Hong Wuye who drove me away, but Zhang Ermao himself." Gotta go."

"Blow it and you will." Zhao Laosi curled his lips and said, "We have known each other for so many years, don't I know you yet? When you left the stall and went to meet Mr. Hong, I don't know how excited and excited you were. Now you say that you left Hong Wuye voluntarily, why do I not believe it?"

Zhang Ermao smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhao, I used to be a good buddy who made a fortune in antiques, and now he has turned into a well-known Hong Kong businessman. Now he asks me to cooperate with him in antiques. The kind of antiques I'm talking about It's not the kind of small business we used to do, but selling antiques to those Hong Kong bosses who are worth tens of billions, maybe they can earn tens of millions of them for a single order, and save them for two years. I'll retire with a small goal, isn't that better than fighting with Master Hong?"

When they heard this, their eyes widened.

Fourth Zhao exchanged glances with the others, stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile, "Brother Ermao, I dare say you have found a new way of making money, and you can't look down on working with Master Hong!"

"Hey!" Zhang Ermao raised a hand solemnly, pointed his palm at the crowd, and said solemnly: "It's not that I, Zhang Ermao, look down on Hong Wuye. The ancients said, good birds, choose wood As for Qi, I can only say that the big tree of Mr. Hong Wu is not suitable for me, Zhang Ermao, to develop. After all, I have been dealing with antiques for so many years, and I am still the most comfortable in this line of work."

The other man stepped forward and gave Zhang Ermao a light kick with his arm, and said with a smile: "Brother Ermao, since you have such a way to make money, can't you take me with you? You see, my brother and I are in Antique Street After so many years, I haven't caught a big fish, and I can't earn a Passat all year round. If you have a good way of making money, you can get a brother, okay?"

As he said that, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Zhang Ermao, and said courteously, "Come on, Brother Ermao, smoke a cigarette!"

Zhang Ermao took the cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Xiao Teng, if you really want to make money with me, it's not that I can't think about it, but I don't know if you are a steady and willing person." I don't want to do it anymore..."

The man named Xiao Teng quickly took out his lighter, and while lighting a cigarette for Zhang Ermao, he said respectfully, "Brother Ermao, as long as you are willing to take me with you, I will definitely work hard and never complain!"

Zhao Laosi on the side also quickly said: "Brother Ermao, take me with you too! I have no other advantages as a person, but I am obedient! As long as you take me with you, I will definitely obey your orders and fight wherever you tell me." !"

Others also expressed their sincerity to Zhang Ermao at this time. From their point of view, since Zhang Ermao was willing to give up his position as a celebrity beside Hong Wuye, it proved that he had definitely found a bigger source of income, and he also said that this Xincailu itself is related to antiques, not only Zhang Ermao is handy, but everyone is also familiar with it, so everyone wants to get a share of Zhang Ermao's pie.

At this time, Zhang Ermao said calmly: "Everyone, I just came back here, and the new business has not been completely smoothed out, so I don't need so many people, so at this initial stage, let Zhao Laosi and Xiao Teng call me first." Let's get started, don't worry if the other people don't have their turn, when I straighten out the business, everyone will have a share!"

The others couldn't help being a little disappointed, but Zhao Laosi and Xiao Teng were extremely excited.

The two hurriedly pulled Zhang Ermao to a place where there was no one else, and Zhao Laosi said obsequiously: "Brother Ermao, you can use your stall anytime you want, and if it is not enough, you can use mine. If you need me and Xiao Teng Whatever you do, just tell me."

Zhang Ermao took a puff of cigarette and asked them both: "You guys tell me the truth, how much money do you make a month now?"

Zhao Laosi raised his hand and said: "Brother Ermao, let me tell you first, you know my situation, I am not as talkative as you, and I am not as good at fooling around as you are. If I do a good job in a month, I will earn money One to twenty thousand, and sometimes they don’t open much for a month, and they can’t even earn a booth fee..."

Xiao Teng also said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Brother Ermao, my situation is not much better than that of the old four. It's the end of August, and I don't even have a net profit of 3000 yuan this month, and the competition in the Antique Street is fierce now. Damn, all of these dog things are rolled up. I used to sell a bunch of fake five emperors coins. Why don’t you give them ten yuan and twenty yuan? If you are wronged, it’s not impossible to ask for three or five hundred, but Now those new idiots sell it for three to five yuan. Tell me, the purchase price of this bunch is eighty cents. He sells it for three to five yuan. Even the wind can't get enough!"

Zhang Ermao smiled and said to the two of them: "Well, let's not say that Brother Ermao doesn't take care of you. My family will introduce some Hong Kong businessmen to Jinling one after another in the past two days. No need to show off, one is going to the airport, the other is going to the high-speed rail station, hold a sign for me to pick them up!"

"Picking people up?" Zhao Laosi and Xiao Teng looked at each other, and the latter asked, "Brother Ermao, the work of picking up people is too unskilled, how much can I pay for picking up people..."

Zhang Ermao smiled inscrutably, and said: "I asked you to pick up big customers who spend a lot of money. Sometimes it is not convenient for them to come forward, so they will send their people over. You two just hold up the sign. Wait at the airport and the high-speed rail station. My family has made an agreement with them. As long as they see you when they arrive, they will take the initiative to meet you. Don’t think this job has no technical content. I will give each of you 3000 yuan a day! "

"Three thousand per person?!"

The two were speechless, but at the same time couldn't help being a little excited. The income of 3000 yuan a day was much higher than that of their stalls.

Zhang Ermao said again at this time: "But I'm ugly, I'm not sure when the big client will come, so you have to go to the airport and the high-speed rail station every day to guard, the two of you have to go early every morning, You can go home and rest until the flight and the high-speed rail are stopped. During this period, you can’t miss any flight or any high-speed rail. If anyone receives a customer, I will reward [-]. If anyone misses a customer, I will never forgive He, do you understand?"
