1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Brother Chen, how did you sleep last night? Breakfast is ready."

The next morning, Chen Tiezhu had just finished washing with Doudou when Zhou Fengxia came in.

"It was really comfortable to sleep. There was a heated kang and a heater, which was really good. My family wants to add a heater. We will definitely install one when we renovate the house next year." Chen Tiezhu said with emotion.

"It's good to have a heater." Zhou Fengxia nodded.

"Otherwise, when you sleep in the second half of the night, only the quilt is warm, and your nose is frozen. By the way, you prepared fried dough sticks, fried cakes, soy milk, and pickles in the morning. Can you have a bite?"

"Impress me, right? These are all great breakfasts. Let's go. At least we have the freedom to eat fried dough sticks." Chen Tiezhu said nothing and led Doudou out happily.

Doudou was also very happy. It had been a long time since he had eaten fried dough sticks.

Zhou Fengxia, who was following behind, shook his head helplessly. Chen Tiezhu was so familiar with people. What's the end? He was quite happy.

When he arrived at the restaurant, it was needless to say. Chen Tiezhu was already eating and drinking happily with Doudou, as if this was his own home.

"Brother Chen, let's make a deal. How about selling all the remaining mallets to me? Let me keep them as a favor to my elders at home." Zhou Fengxia asked while picking up a fried dough stick.

Chen Tiezhu nodded, "If you are proud, I will give you the rest. I didn't expect these mallets to exchange for so much money, but this is just a one-time deal."

"At most, when there is a real need, I still have stocks in my hands, so I can study it again. This, it depends on luck."

He didn't say it for sure. What if there is an urgent need for money in the future?

But after careful consideration, he had to do it on a small scale for the matter of ginseng. The most fundamental reason is that these ginsengs are too unusual.

So he also said during dinner yesterday that he would process ginsengs deeply in the future. Although the money comes slowly, it is safe.

On the contrary, Zhou Fengxia was very happy that he agreed so readily.

The chicken soup he drank last night was indeed quite strong. He slept for less than two hours, but he is still very energetic now.

And I don’t know if it was the effect of ginseng yesterday, but his alcohol tolerance has improved a lot compared to before.

This is a good thing. Chen Tiezhu gave him so much face, how could he not be happy?

After eating and drinking, he also got on Zhou Fengxia’s Santana and drove to the auction site.

“It seems that it is not in the city?” Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

“My brother Chen, we don’t have the ability to find such a big place.” Zhou Fengxia said with a smile.

"So this time we will go directly to my raw stone warehouse. It doesn't take much space. I will be satisfied if we can have 30 or 40 people."

"You are really thoughtful. Will the old man come back tomorrow? But I have to go to the provincial court tomorrow, and then visit the old man after I finish my work." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Okay, you are busy with serious things, so let's do your things first." Zhou Fengxia said with a smile.

Although Chen Tiezhu did not reveal who his backer was, Zhou Fengxia knew that Chen Tiezhu's background was really not simple.

After driving for nearly 20 minutes, we arrived at Zhou's warehouse.

It is also a courtyard in a nearby village, but this one has been renovated. Some people are also arranged here, and the warehouse has a heavy iron door.

Walking into the yard, what you see is a large house without windows. To be precise, this is a real warehouse.

"Zhou'er, why do I always feel that our auction this time is a bit sneaky?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a wry smile.

"My brother Chen, you are my real brother." Zhou Fengxia said helplessly.

"When we do this, it will be a formal transaction with a written ticket, but we don't have such land now. I am also thinking about it. If there is a chance, I will build a better building and renovate it at that time."

"But this requires a lot of money. It's basically a piece of residential land and rebuild it according to our ideas. Now, people won't sell us anything that meets our standards."

"We have to see what it can be done by then. If there is no improvement, I will honestly play with stones and run the store, and I won't think about anything else."

Chen Tiezhu looked at him in surprise.

I don't know if it's because people are more conscious these days, or Zhou Fengxia or the Zhou family are people who are honest and have no idea of ​​taking advantage of loopholes.

"Don't look at me like that, old man."The rules are set." Zhou Fengxia said with a wry smile.

"Our Zhou family has experienced several ups and downs, and the most fundamental rule is that we never do anything illegal. The old man said that some of the things we do, although not directly harming people, will also affect the fortunes of some people. "

"We have helped this family to set up a prosperous Feng Shui bureau. Within the scope of one place, it will naturally take away some Feng Shui from other families. After all, we have not yet reached the point of using evil to bring prosperity. When we reach that level, we may be able to live more freely. "

"What is the particularity here?" Chen Tiezhu asked in some confusion.

"Well..., it means that when everyone is making a layout, they are doing the work of dispelling evil. These evil spirits originally exist between heaven and earth, where to dispel them?" Zhou Fengxia said with a wry smile.

"The best bureau is the bureau of using evil to bring prosperity. This is the old man's lifelong wish, but this can only be done by the means of gods. The old man has been exposed to these since he was sensible, and now when he is making a layout, he has become more cautious. ”

“I’ll have a good chat with you when I have time. Let’s go inside first. I guess some people are coming. We don’t want to keep them waiting. We’ll start at nine o’clock.”

Chen Tiezhu nodded, and became even more curious about Feng Shui metaphysics.

Walking through the door and the hole, Chen Tiezhu also raised his thumb.

There is no powerful anti-theft system like in later generations. This place is completely artificial.

When they came to the room, the shelves were displayed around, and there were several small air holes on the high walls. Because of the heating, it didn’t feel cold inside.

What caught his attention was the lights in the warehouse, which was the main reason why he raised his thumb.

“Hehe, some tricks I learned from others are not worth mentioning. I saw Huang Cangye. Why don’t you go over and say hello?” Zhou Fengxia asked with a smile.

Following his gaze, Huang Cangye was standing with two people, whispering something.

Chen Tiezhu was happy and walked over with Doudou in his arms.
