treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 144
"Young man, does your accent sound like someone from the Devil's City?"

"Master, you have good ears. I'm a native of Modu, and I sneak out to play in my busy schedule." Li Mo said with satisfaction while eating spiced eggs, "Master, just the spiced eggs you made, as long as you go to the door of my store After a while, selling four or five hundred a day is effortless."

Liu Ziping raised five fingers of his right hand and asked, "Five hundred?"

"Based on my estimation, this number is less. If it happens on weekends and festivals, when tourists come and go, as soon as the fragrance spreads, it will be no problem to sell more than [-] a day."

"What does your family do, young man?"

"In the antique business, the main products are porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. The shop is opened in the Town God's Temple in Shanghai. Think about it, sir, even in normal times, there are always tourists there. You cook spiced eggs with your own hands. If you show your unique skills there, you can earn more than 20 yuan every year just by selling spiced eggs."

Li Mo ate with relish while talking about his own affairs.

Liu Ziping sized up Li Mo a few times. This kid is not very old, but he spoke in a strong tone.

"It's a coincidence. I went to the Town God's Temple in Shanghai more than 20 years ago. I remember that there is a river near the Town God's Temple, and there is a tall tower beside the river."

Li Mo peeled off the egg again and said with a smile: "You are talking about the Huangpu River and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, sir. Unexpectedly, you went there when you were young, before I was born."

"The current Shanghai Metropolis has long since developed into an international metropolis. The night view of the Huangpu River is extremely beautiful. When I can't sleep at night, I stand in front of the window and look at the river view, and my heart can slowly calm down."

Liu Ziping had a strange expression on his face, and said in a low voice, "Your family must be very profitable in the antique business, right?"

"There is a saying in the antique business that you don't open for three years, and you can eat for three years after opening. For example, a piece of porcelain from the time of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was sold at a minimum price of hundreds of thousands. [-] million is not a problem."

"One or two billion!"

Liu Ziping was startled, a little stunned.

Li Mo knew that the heat was almost ready, so he clapped his hands and stood up and said, "Master, I ate ten spiced eggs in total. In addition to the five yuan I gave you, I will give you another 20 yuan."

He took out a fifty and handed it to Liu Ziping.

"Young man, I don't have any change for this fifty."

"If you don't have any change, then look at how many spiced eggs are left in the pot, and pack another 30 yuan for me. I have a few friends, and I will let them try it later."

"Okay, okay, I'll pack it for you right away." Liu Ziping showed a triumphant smile when he lowered his head.

"Master, can you sell this ancestral spiced egg recipe? I'm thinking that if you can sell this kind of spiced eggs in the Chenghuang Temple area, the business will definitely be a mess."

Liu Ziping paused, he looked up at Li Mo and asked, "Do you really want to buy the formula in my hand?"

"What's the real thing about this? As long as the price is right, I can still buy it."

"Young man, if you really want to buy it, I won't ask you for a price. According to your estimate, you can earn a dozen or 20 a year selling these spiced eggs, so if you can give a price of 15, I will How about selling the ancestral secret method to you?"

"15, this price." Li Mo hesitated, a little uncertain.

"15 is really not much, you can pay back your capital in one year, and you can earn 20 every year in the future. This is a very profitable business."

"Well, what you said makes sense, but how do I know that the secret recipe you gave is from my ancestors, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

Li Mo was a little moved by what he said.

Liu Ziping has sharp eyes, and said quickly: "Young man, it's not easy. If you believe me, you can pay me a deposit of [-] yuan first. I will show you how to make spiced perfume live tomorrow, and wait until the spiced eggs are cooked." You try it again, and if it tastes the same, you will pay the remaining [-]."

Li Mo showed vigilance towards him, shook his head and said: "Then what if it's not the same taste, and if you don't return the [-] deposit I paid you, wouldn't it be in vain for me to be in this unfamiliar place?" It’s a big loss. Grandpa, it’s okay to buy the formula, you pack the remaining five-spice eggs quickly, and I’m going to meet up with my friends.”

Holding the packed five-spice eggs, Li Mo left in a hurry, as if he was afraid that someone would stare at the money in his pocket.

After walking more than 20 meters, Chen Xiaojun approached and said, "That Liu Ziping is following behind."

"Let him follow. If I don't follow, my 50 yuan will be wasted. You should try it too. These five-spice eggs are really good."

The two walked leisurely on the food street. About half an hour later, the two walked towards Caowan Mountain, ready to climb to the top of the mountain to have a look.

"Little uncle, that Liu Ziping has followed."

"It seems that there is a play."

Before the two reached the path at the foot of the mountain, Liu Ziping caught up panting and said, "Young man, wait for me, wait for me."

Only then did Li Mo stop and turn around to look at him and said seriously: "Master, I even said I won't buy your formula, so what are you going to do?"

"Young man, are you going to see that Xiang Yu treasure symbol?"

"Our family is in the antique business, and we are naturally interested in these treasures and the like. But we just go up and look around. If there are treasures, it will be my turn. Sir, please go back, I don't care about the formula. Will reconsider."

"Don't, young man, if you think it's expensive, you can talk about it again. How about you make a price, as long as it's suitable, I'll sell it to you?"

"[-], if you agree, I will pay you a deposit of [-] first, and you can do it for me tomorrow, and I will pay the rest if there is no problem."

Liu Ziping frowned deeply. He seemed to be thinking about it. Seeing that Li Mo was getting impatient and about to leave, he quickly stamped his foot and said, "Success, it's only fifty thousand. I'm already so old, and there's no one in my family to inherit the family business." , Putting it in your hands is a waste of your ancestors' hard work."

"In this case, you give me an address, and my friend and I will go to find you tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll tell you the address, and you can record it in your phone. When I go back, I'll prepare the materials first, and I'll make sure you're satisfied tomorrow."

After sending Liu Ziping away, Li Mo and Chen Xiaojun glanced at each other. The matter was half successful. If it proved that the thing in the yard was exactly what they were looking for, it would be much easier to get that treasure.

"I originally wanted to play for half a day today, and then try to find a way to sneak in over the wall tomorrow. It seems that there is no need to climb over the wall. Tomorrow we will go in openly. Xiaojun, please tell other people to come over, we will go up the mountain to see what's going on. "
