The daily life of the fortune teller who was forced to open business

The spices in the stove were slowly burned out. Nan Shi took a deep breath and pushed the incense burner forward slightly. The incense burner made a slight friction sound on the wooden tabletop: "Professor Zhou, please."

We chatted for a while, and we exchanged names.This Mr. Zhou always has a convincing air when he speaks. Nan Shi asked a few questions and found that this one is actually a university professor.

After asking a few more questions, yes, Nanshi is still from his school. Although Nanshi has graduated for three or four years, according to the rules, he still has to be called 'professor' honestly.However, Nan Shi is from the art department, and Professor Zhou is from the history department. Nan Shi has never attended his class, so he has only heard about it.

Professor Zhou didn't expect that the little boss in front of him was still a student of his own school. He shook his head and sighed that he was unlucky—they were all from the same school, and they were his students when they were rounded up. It can only be counted.

Although picking up leaks is not considered a word of "cheat" in the antique industry, it is always unpleasant to spread it.

In short, he is not short of the money, and he really likes it later, so he can just pack it at the regular price.

Professor Zhou took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on. He even prepared a magnifying glass. Nan Shi felt extremely ashamed when he saw it. He is an antique business owner. The last time he used a magnifying glass was two months ago. The main function is to use needles to sew flip-flops that have been glued off.

The golden wood that had just been burnt turned into a gray-white character "Shou" in the furnace, and the furnace body was warm to the touch, not hot to the touch.Professor Zhou looked at the coagulated and indistinct character 'Shou', nodded in praise and said, "Xiao Nan's craftsmanship is good."

Nan Shi smiled shyly.

Professor Zhou looked at it over and over for a while, and Lao Wang also picked up Nanshi beside him and finally turned out the magnifying glass to look at it. He shook his head and said, "I don't see it well, what do you think, Lao Zhou?"

"I think it's just a glance." Professor Zhou said, turned the top cover of the incense burner over, and rubbed a rust spot on it with his fingertips: "It's just that the appearance is not good, and the oxidation is too serious."

When Professor Zhou looked at Nan, he asked, "Does Xiao Nan have any idea of ​​sending this incense burner for repair?"

Nan Shi shook his head and said, "I like it because of its beautiful rust spots."

"Here..." He made a gesture, pointing to the cloud-shaped rust spots on the side of the incense burner: "It looks like a fire cloud, I saw it right away."

Professor Zhou turned over the censer when he heard the words, looked at it intently, and said in surprise: "It's true, I really can't see it if you don't tell me."

When Lao Wang was caught in the south, he also saw something: "There is something interesting about it."

"Just because of this, you bought it?" Professor Zhou couldn't help asking.

Nan Shi said leisurely: "I always look at the eyes when I buy things, and it's enough for me to look at them comfortably."

"Put it farther away, it looks more beautiful." Nan Shi said again.

"That's it." Professor Zhou mentioned it again: "The appearance is too damaged. If you send it for repair, you can still see some tricks. Xiaonan, if you have this intention, you can leave it to me. I don't care. Fees... I'm sure you missed this one, and you just want to see what it is."

Nan Shi was playing with the ancient jade hanging on his chest, and the cyan web flowed through his fingers like a clear spring.He likes this incense burner very much, but if it is repaired, no matter whether it is successful or not, the rust spots on it will definitely disappear.

But what is an incense burner compared to a heavy debt?

Seeing him pondering, Professor Zhou also looked at him fixedly, waiting for his answer.

After just one or two breaths, he nodded when he saw Nan Shi, and raised a smile: "Then leave it to Professor Zhou."

Nanshi did what he said, and immediately took out a wooden packing box from under the table, which was stuffed with thick cotton and flannelette. The packing was completed within a minute, and even the top tie was carefully tied. The Chinese knot was changed hands and placed in front of Professor Zhou.

Professor Zhou laughed when he saw his behavior: "Boss Nan, aren't you afraid that I won't come back after taking the things?"

Nan Shi said without any hesitation: "Isn't it just 100 yuan? Is it worth it?"

He secretly thought that if Professor Zhou took his things and ran away, he would have the guts to let him lie on the bed every night.

Professor Zhou got up and patted Nan Shi on the shoulder: "Young people are courageous! Are you from the art department? Are you interested in taking a postgraduate entrance examination? To do antiques, you still need to know some history. My main research is Yong Chao, there is still a quota under my name, if you come to take the exam, I will give you some water?"

Nan Shi was speechless for a moment, this... If he hadn't met Chi You before, he would have nodded and promised not to think about it at all. Now, he is afraid that Chi You will hang him up and beat him - he hasn't learned the serious trick yet , so you want to study history again?

Moreover, the thousand-year-old ghosts in the room are really around the Yong Dynasty. They are all living history books, so what to learn?If there is anything you want to know, it is more reliable to find a servant at home than to find a modern teacher.

"Thank you, I'll think about it again." Nan Shi said carefully.

'Think about it' in the adult world is a polite refusal.After hearing this, Professor Zhou shrugged and didn't take it seriously: "Okay."

At this point, the two said goodbye, Nan Shi sent him away, beat his own waist, and walked slowly around the room twice - not to mention, as he was getting older, his back hurt after sitting upright for a while, and walking around twice was not enough. Can be more comfortable.

As a result, before walking around twice, a customer came in, and Nan Shi had no choice but to entertain him again.Today is probably a very successful start. There were a lot of customers all day, and Nanshi was so busy that he didn't react until a customer complained that his favorite bracelet pattern was gone. He opened the drawer and found that The goods he bought were sold out.

Why?This kind of cheap jewelry sells so well?

He bought a total of three hundred bracelets!It's only been a few days and it's sold out?

After seeing off the guests, Nanshi started his own wholesale business again. After ordering another [-] bracelets, he even began to think about going to Yiwu himself to see what new gadgets there were. , maybe I can buy some more high-end goods, the kind that look good and are not expensive and are genuine.

The water depth of high-end products, if you don’t go to see them on the spot, just rely on the photos and videos sent from your mobile phone, you can be cheated and bankrupt on the spot.

He even had to find two knowledgeable peers, otherwise he, a layman, would basically have written on his face 'people are stupid and quick to make money'.

Regarding this point, Nanshi has a roommate who does jade carving, you can ask him when he is free to take a trip, of course he doesn't ask people to run away for nothing, he will have to pay for it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Nan Shi thought of Qinghe telling him to go home early, so he simply gave up the plan of ordering takeaway, packed up his things, closed the business and went home.

***

"Master." Zhou Butler greeted Nan Shi with a smile.

Steward Zhou is a busy man, responsible for the operation of the entire house, and idlers like Nan Shi can't easily see him—he just doesn't want to see him too much.

Maybe it's because he came back early today, the setting sun reflected on Butler Zhou's face, invigorating him a bit, and Nan Shi didn't look so scared anymore: "Butler Zhou, why did you think of calling me to meet the newcomers?"

"Don't, I can't afford the word 'you' from the young master. The old slave is just a servant. If I turn around and tell the mountain master to hear it, I will get angry again." Although Steward Zhou said so, it is obviously more important to Qinghe and the others than Qinghe and the others. Chi You's attitude is much closer.

I heard that Steward Zhou was Chi You's book boy when he was a child, and when he got older, he took over the external affairs of the mountain gate, which can be regarded as Chi You's arm.

"Isn't this the young master who entered the room yesterday? The owner of the mountain didn't say anything, but he got very angry behind his back." Zhou Guanjia said: "It's also an old slave's actual measurement. In fact, I was looking for related formations a few days ago. Master, I didn’t expect to ask outsiders to come in.”

"That's it..." Nan Shi was even more confused when he heard it, what kind of formation master did he ask him to come and see?He doesn't understand this again.

Steward Zhou made a gesture of invitation, and invited Nan Shi to go in to have a look, but he himself was a step behind before following in.

Unlike the Taoist priest or old man with long eyebrows and long beard that Nan Shi imagined, there was a young man wearing glasses and a plaid shirt sitting in the room, who was a bit puffy. Shi stretched out his hand: "Hi, I'm Zhang He."

"Hello, I'm Nanshi." Nanshi stretched out his hand and shook the other party in a daze. As soon as the two sat down, the other party said eloquently: "I am the chief engineer of the security department of XXX Network Company, 34 years old , unmarried, no children, household registration in city S, previously worked in city B, has 12 years of working experience, withstood XX, YY... and other internationally famous hacker attacks..."

Immediately afterwards, there was another series of resumes that sounded awesome. Nan Shi looked at him, then at Butler Zhou: "...this?"

Butler Zhou smiled until his eyes narrowed: "Isn't this ability rare? The old slave also guarded Master Zhang for several days, and even spared countless times with Black and White Wuchang, so he snatched Master Zhang away."

"What?" Nan Shi looked at Zhang He in bewilderment.

Zhang He also looked a little helpless, he nodded and said: "Yes, I just passed away yesterday, I died suddenly, but I didn't expect to see Mr. Zhou talking with Black and White Impermanence when I closed and opened my eyes... Well, let me chat Come for an interview."

In fact, Black and White Wuchang yelled at the side saying 'Mr. XX (his idol who has died for many years, Tuchao top1 hacker) is waiting for you to overcome technical difficulties together', 'Hell will offer you a treasure with an annual salary of 3000 million yuan! ' or something like that, but Butler Zhou said from the side, 'The following is open all year round, we have a break and no overtime, and we are equipped with a Chinese-style luxurious courtyard, and we can order takeaway and live', and then he happily chose to follow Zhou The butler is here.

Black and White Impermanence heard him choose Zhou Butler and still wailing, "There is an Apple 200 generation and a smart AI holographic game below", but people, of course they have to choose an environment that looks more familiar!

The world is happier than the unknown underworld!

In fact, he...has a complicated mood. He never thought that he would be a social animal after death.

When Zhang He saw a young man dressed in modern clothes like Nan Shi, he thought that it seemed much easier to communicate.

After listening to Nan Shi, he nodded his head with sympathy and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"You're welcome." Zhang He nodded: "May I ask if your residence needs me to do something?"

Nan Shi looked at Steward Zhou, and saw Steward Zhou smilingly saying: "It's not difficult, we need Master Zhang to help us do something... Oh yes, the firewall, so that other outsiders will not be able to crawl in through the network. It’s good for outsiders to rush in.”

"If Master Zhang joins the job, you will be responsible for the network at home in the future, and you will be fully responsible for the corresponding equipment. As for the salary, although our side is not as good as the hell, we can give you this amount..." Zhou The housekeeper compared the numbers: "Board and lodging are free, and we will also distribute corresponding cash wages for you to use for your daily expenses in the world."

"At the same time, we will sign a five-insurance and one-finance contract for you, and help you go through the relevant procedures and stay documents in the underworld to ensure that you live comfortably, just like when you were alive."

Steward Zhou showed his newly learned modern culture: "Simply speaking, it is responsible for installing network cables, repairing computers, repairing mobile phones and tablets, installing a system, and installing a firewall for the home network."

Nan Shi immediately looked at Zhang He with pity. Seeing Zhang He's face collapsed, he quickly said, "I can install the network cable myself! I can also repair mobile phones and tablets. Mr. Zhang, you can help to build a firewall!"

Let programmers do the work of network management, they will definitely get shot in the head!

Zhang He said quietly: "...It's okay, I'm used to it."

Anyway, I usually help my relatives and friends to repair.

Compared to not working overtime, he thinks he can be a network manager!He really can!
