Zhentian coffin

Zhang Yugang, a fat man, wants to eat four turtle beads in one go, but he is obviously too greedy. The turtle beads are not ordinary treasures. It would be nice to sell one, but how could he sell them all at once, let alone We don't have four either.

So when Liu Laodao shook his head and refused, the big fat man was obviously disappointed. Then he picked up the turtle beads and said that he was going to check the quality, and Liu Laodao agreed.

The fat man walked into a room and stayed there for about ten minutes. When he came out, he said, "It's a pity that this turtle bead is not yet 500 years old, but it is well preserved and has not been damaged. Now I There are two options for distinguished guests. First, my Dachaofeng funded the purchase of this turtle pearl. The price is 300 million, and payment can be made within 24 hours. Second, my Dachaofeng will sell it on my behalf. I can guarantee that the bid will not be lower than 400 million, but I have to take [-]% as a reward from the court, and the time will be longer, three to five days or even ten days and a half months. During this time, we can be responsible for the accommodation and food of the distinguished guests, how about it?"

What the big fat man said shocked me immediately, what the fuck, 300 million, so much, it’s only worth a million and 80, why is it so much money?

Wait, I seem to be a little drifting. I have never had more than 1000 yuan in my pocket. Why didn’t I jump up after hearing this number?

"The second one, we are not in a hurry, you can sell it slowly"

Liu Laodao was very calm, and he seemed to regard money as dung. This turtle pearl does not belong to us, so naturally the more money the better, the situation of the Huang family brothers is not very good. The eldest Huang Wenli may go to jail, and the second Huang Wenxin There are still a lot of debts that can't be cleared, a little more money, they can relax a lot.

"Okay, I'll just write the receipt"

The fat man nodded, his expression became serious, he got up to get a pen and paper, and began to write a receipt.

He didn't use a ballpoint pen, but a brush, and he had to sharpen the ink. Even the letter paper was very delicate. After he started writing, I even smelled a fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.

"This is the special skill they used to serve the Zhang family. The ink, letter paper, and even the writing fonts are all unique. The ink is fragrant and pleasant, and it can last for ten years. The IOU written in this way, Zhang As long as the family is right, they must obey, this is the rule of the Zhang family for hundreds of years."

Liu Laodao took a look and said to me, let me not underestimate this detail, this kind of skill is their secret and the foundation of their foothold.

"The Daoist also knows this. It seems that you are indeed an old friend of my father. You are right. We have a history of more than 200 years in the business of serving the Zhang family. We have written countless IOUs. No one has ever been able to fake it. And I Once the family confirms that the IOU is from the Zhang family, no matter what the situation is, they will definitely honor it..."

The fat man looked at Laodao Liu in surprise. He didn't know much about this matter, and friends who weren't his father really wouldn't know casually.

After finishing speaking, the big fat man also told a story about their ancestors, saying that in a certain era, a guest once came to the door and took out an IOU, saying that he had once pledged a treasure in the Great Dynasty. Suddenly, I didn't have time to take the reward, and I came to ask for it after many years.

The Zhang family confirmed the authenticity of the IOU, but because of the turmoil in those years, their own records could no longer be found, but they still agreed to honor it, and Zhang Jiadian finally succeeded in honoring it by selling the property.

As soon as this incident happened, the reputation of the Zhang family spread in the Tao, making the Zhang family famous, and the Zhang family was also proud of this incident. Since then, the reputation has become the most precious asset of the Zhang family.

I don't know if what the big fat man said is true or not, but judging by his expression, he should be right. This kind of character is definitely awe-inspiring, especially in this era, it is even more precious. Liu Laodao couldn't help it Kudos to it.

Soon, the big fat man wrote the IOU and showed it to Liu Laodao. I also went up to take a look, but I couldn't see it. The big fat man's handwriting was very good. Although I couldn't see anything, but It can make people feel pleasing to the eye, and it will definitely not be bad.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. By the way, you were right when you said that you could take care of our food and accommodation."

Liu Laodao read it several times and replied after he didn't think there was a problem.

"Yes, but we won't have any high-end hospitality, basically we can eat and live with me, I will never be biased, how?"

Fatty Zhang nodded. In fact, this rule used to have another function, that is to protect the guests. Not everyone with treasures is a master with special skills, and most of them are ordinary people, so this rule of the Zhang family can Protect the guests as much as possible within the scope of the transaction. As for the end of the transaction, it is none of their business.

Therefore, this rule will not apply to those high-level people, how can those who are away from home lack money for food and drink.

"Of course, I have a small request, Mr. Zhang, please agree."

"Oh, what is the request, please tell the priest clearly"

"I think Mr. Zhang's calligraphy is very good and has a strong character. The old man really likes it very much. However, the old man has an incompetent apprentice who is illiterate, so I ask Mr. Zhang to teach him calligraphy during the period of our stay. The font is optional, but it needs to be in traditional Chinese characters”

Liu Laodao said slowly, and by the way, he gave me a supercilious look, very contemptuous.

"This, haha, no problem, but it's agreed in advance, I'm only in charge of giving pointers, whether it's successful or not, it depends on the luck of this little brother."

The big fat man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, this matter is not difficult for him, just give a bunch of ordinary pens and paper, and copy it by himself.

I glared at Lao Daoist Liu angrily, "Damn it, do you want to despise me so much? Yes, I have no education, but am I illiterate?"I have almost finished the nine-year compulsory education.

On the contrary, it's Laodao Liu yourself, it seems that you haven't been to school for a few days, and you are still making fun of me?

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Zhang, let's go back and pick up our luggage, and we'll be here in a while"

Liu Laodao smiled and cupped his hands, then got up and went out.

"Old man, do you want to look down on me like this, I am illiterate, am I illiterate?"

"Really, can you recognize all of this IOU?"

Liu Laodao raised the letter paper in his hand and said, I was at a loss for words for a while, and the fat man didn't know what was going on. It was written in traditional Chinese characters, and the fonts were varied. It seemed that there were legendary cursive scripts. How the hell could I recognize them? clear.

"That's all. This great dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years, and its foundation is strong. Just this handwriting is amazing. Don't think that he uses several fonts. It's boring, and all of them are particular, in order to prevent counterfeiting. , Outsiders generally can’t see it, you have to study hard, otherwise what will you do when you draw symbols in the future, you can’t just let me draw them all the time.”

Old Taoist Liu taught earnestly and earnestly, of course, the last sentence is his focus and purpose. To draw amulets requires a certain level of calligraphy skills. It doesn't have to be very good, but you can't know everything.

"Okay, you're great"

I rolled my eyes, Old Taoist Liu said so, so I naturally have nothing to say, I have become apprentices, so learning some skills is nothing.

Soon, we came back after picking up our luggage, and the fat man took us to his residence, which is an old community near the antique city. It is estimated to have a history of 30 to [-] years. There are two households on one floor, and a six-story building. kind of.

But the size of the room is not small, because the two households on the first floor belong to a big fat man, he lives in one household alone, and the other household is used to entertain guests like us.

The big fat man is an old bachelor and has no wife, but he is not short of money. The family has hired a nanny, and the nanny will do the eating and cleaning, so just eat with him in the future.

"I can't see it, this fat man is quite rich, but I heard that housing prices in Shanghai are not cheap."

I walked around inside and out, and on this floor, there are three or four hundred square meters. The three or four hundred in Shanghai is not the three or four hundred in Qinghe Town. The house price alone can match Boss Chen. family property.

"You, don't say that you are my apprentice when you go out in the future. It's embarrassing. Look at this furniture. It's not ordinary mahogany, it should be made of pineapple wood. Tsk tsk, it's really well-deserved for the Zhang family."

Liu Laodao stroked the furniture at home and then clicked his tongue in praise.

Yellow pear wood seems to be very valuable, but I don't know how much it's worth, so whatever, I can't move it anyway.

"Old man, how long do we have to stay here, it seems that we are a bit contrary to the goal when we first went out."

I asked Lao Daoist Liu, when we first left the house, we wanted to seek revenge from Lord Qin, but now we are here to play with any tricks.

"Don't worry, by the way, I did some research on that surnamed Qin. He charges a lot of money, and he will never do things for ordinary people. The people who come and go are either rich or expensive. There are many rich people in this magic city, maybe Maybe we will meet in Shanghai, besides, you are not idle, I will find you something to do?"

"It makes sense, but old man, what do you want me to do?"

"You will know tomorrow"

Sure enough, when Liu Laodao announced the schedule for this period of time tomorrow, I was a little confused.
