country evil

The grandpa and grandson were not used to drinking tea for leisure, so after sitting for a while, they got up to leave, planning to set up a show elsewhere, taking advantage of the generous tourists on the first day of the new year to earn two extra dollars.

Calling the waiter to pay the bill, the newly added three cups of top-quality Tieguanyin totaled 450 yuan. Lin Le counted out five big bills and handed them over without batting an eyelid.

Walking out of the pine forest tea garden, Qin Erdan muttered: "It's so expensive, drinking three cups of tea can buy dozens of catties of pork, and the whole family can't finish it in a few days. If I knew this, I should find a big stone slab outside to sit on. "

"Since you've entered, you have to be slaughtered if you stretch your neck. It's better to go to an old teahouse in the country. A bowl of Gaiwan tea costs [-] cents a cup. You can sit in it and soak for a long time." Before walking far, Erdan Qin wanted to continue following his grandpa and grandson. The two went to set up the scene together, Lin Le grabbed him, "Farewell in the mountains, long time no see, let's go shopping in Jiangyou City together, let me do my best as a landlord."

"Alright, I still can't find my way in this big city."

Walking hand in hand in the winding old alleys of the ancient city, Lin Le asked, "It's hundreds of miles away, why are you following them to the city?"

Erdan Qin had a sad face, "My mother-in-law suffered a stroke and was hospitalized, and my parents' savings were quickly exhausted, so I went to perform together, so I could share some money and take it home to pay for the medical expenses."

Lin Le took out the check, wrote a one, then added five zeros, "Here, take it out from CCB and take it back with you."

"Hehe, can I withdraw money with this slip?" Qin Erdan took the check, put his eyes very close, counted zero with his fingers, and was startled after counting, "One hundred thousand! No, no, why? Take your so much money, it's hard to explain to your parents when you go back."

Lin Le smiled and said: "Alas, why do you need to be extra, brother, to tell you the truth, now that brother has a lot of money on hand, it is only natural to support you, otherwise your parents will say that all the boys in the village earn money. Money, you are studying art in Dumen, but let the family pay you back!"

Qin Erdan still refused to accept it, "As the saying goes, you don't get rewarded if you don't get rewarded, how dare you ask for it for nothing! Besides, I don't know how to withdraw money from the bank."

"In this case, I have some pocket money with me, use it to treat your mother-in-law." Lin Le took out tens of thousands of dollars from his bag and stuffed them into his trouser pocket. outsiders."

"Oh, how can this work." Erdan Qin refused, blushing, and patted his bulging trouser pockets, walking unnaturally, as if there was a heavy weight inside, walking, patted again Pat the trouser pockets, for fear that the money will jump out by itself.

The two chatted and laughed, and continued to walk towards the depths of the alley.

Seen from a distance, the ancient city is hidden among the dense towering ancient trees, giving it an indescribable sense of mystery.

Uphill and downhill, rough and difficult to walk, densely packed stone and wood buildings, after hundreds of thousands of years of wind and rain, showing a kind of vicissitudes of time, later generations repaired in time, most of the buildings are well preserved, and each alley is extremely narrow, walking in On the bluestone pavement, people coming from the opposite side were given shelter under the eaves.

I bought some snacks, chewed them, and took a leisurely tour, as if returning to the first day of the new year more than ten years ago.

Most of the shops are exclusively for tourists and foreigners, and the prices are frighteningly expensive. After buying one or two snacks, Erdan Qin doesn't want to buy anything else.

Even though it was the first time he entered the ancient city, Lin Le also knew that there were few tourists on weekdays, and it was very lively during holidays, when pedestrians crowded shoulder to shoulder.

Turning around in the alley, sometimes going up the stone ladder, sometimes going down the steep slope, sometimes the light is bright, sometimes dark.

The further you go, the more antique shops and jade shops, some of which seem to be well-known chains, and Lin Le once followed the little chicken to dig into the tomb to dig out treasures, and saw many top-quality antiques in the crane's nest. He dragged Qin Erdan into an antique shop.

"Look at it as you please." The old shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.

The shopkeeper with well-combed hair, the polished ebony counter, and the window is full of old objects that have been polished. I don’t know how many times each item has been touched by others. Lin Le pointed to a strangely shaped stone inkstone, "Haha , There are quite a lot of the Four Treasures of the Study, how much is this ink-boiled stone worth?"

The shopkeeper smiled and compared the character "eight" with his fingers.

"80 yuan?" Erdan Qin frowned, "It's too expensive."

The shopkeeper shook his head.

Lin Le smiled and said: "Little brother, this thing must be worth at least eight thousand."

The shopkeeper shook his head again, telling the truth, "For laymen, this is just a stone, and 80 yuan is too expensive. For lovers, [-] yuan is also cheap."

The two of them backed out with red faces, and the old shopkeeper said politely and walked slowly.

Walk slowly through an alley, and when you look up, you can see an extremely grand old shop on a high stone ladder beside the alley entrance. Lin Le rubbed the back of his head in big gilt characters on a black background, and recalled Pan Yihong once said that this is a time-honored jade chain store with branches all over the world. He suddenly became interested and pulled Qin Erdan to climb up, "Let's go, Go and see what's in there."

As soon as I stepped into the store, I was immediately attracted by many exquisite jade wares. There was a young man who was about the same age as the two of them sitting at the counter, "You two brothers are welcome to visit, just take a look."

When meeting people of the same age, Lin Le became more casual, and said with a smile: "Look at it casually, is it okay if you don't buy it?"

The young man responded skillfully: "Jade trading is not about buying radishes and cabbage in the vegetable market. How can you make a deal easily? If you can't do business, you can be a playmate or a Tibetan friend."

Qin Erdan also became interested: "Many people in the mountains have one or two ancestral jade hairpins and jade dishes. Besides selling, do you also receive goods?"

"Of course you have to charge. The price is based on the year, patina, and fineness. Now this jade shop has branches all over the world. It is based on honesty and honesty. Even if it is a layman, it will never pick on your mistakes."

Lin Le looked in from the back door of the lobby. The inside was extremely spacious, and he didn't know how many aisles and rooms there were. He asked casually, "Wow, could this be your headquarters?"

After all, the young man was young, and his face was full of pride, "Of course, this jade shop has a history of two to three hundred years. It started in the ancient city of Jiangyou City and has been expanding its business overseas."

The two teenagers were not literati and poets at first. After admiring the window for a while, they gradually became boring. No matter how expensive the beautiful jade was, they became stones in their eyes. Just as they were about to leave, Lin Le's eyes suddenly lit up, and he flashed through the back door. Here comes a tall, handsome girl with a cold and arrogant face!Immediately, the soles of my feet took root, and I couldn't bear to leave anymore.
