Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

You Xugang and Lu Yan accompanied Gu Siwei and the others around the capital. Zhou Guangxian continued to go to work at the unit, and at the same time helped Gu Siwei respond to Jingshi Polytechnic's domestic enrollment problems. Of course, he also There is something about Jingshi R\u0026D and domestic exchanges.

In the next two days, Gu Siwei and his party just played, but there was nothing interesting at this time. In Gu Siwei's eyes, the scenic spots were all old and dilapidated.

Sitting in the car that Zhou Guang first helped find, Gu Siwei looked at the road on his side. There were many people on the road, and there were also many bicycles. On the contrary, there were very few cars. The big capital city at this moment was not the first traffic jam in the future. When a small car drove, It's fast and comfortable, and there are no traffic lights. The people directing traffic at intersections are traffic police, and it's only at Guanjian intersections. You can just go through other intersections.

"etc!"

Gu Siwei suddenly found a very familiar name floating in front of his eyes, and immediately said something to the driver in front of him.

The speed of the car was not too fast, and the driver's skills were very good. Even though the car was braking, no one was leaning forward or backward because of it.

"What's wrong?"

You Xugang, who was sitting next to Gu Siwei, asked.

Gu Siwei pointed out the window: "Friendship Store".

"This... Oops, I forgot, you have foreign currency." Youxu was about to say something, but then he remembered that his old friend's pockets were probably full of foreign currency, so he smiled and said: " interesting?"

"Let's go in and take a look!" Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"Excuse me, Xiao Chen!" You Xugang said to the young man driving in front of him.

"Okay, Chief!"

The young man responded, drove the car directly to the side of the road, and leaned against the curb.

Waiting for the car to stop, Gu Siwei opened the door and walked out of the car.

Gu Siwei and his party had just arrived at the door and were about to go in. Suddenly, a woman in her thirties walked out of the door and gave Gu Siwei a sidelong glance.

“We don’t accept Chinese people here, only foreign guests!”

Gu Siwei frowned after hearing this and said: "Kneeling is really strong."

The woman looked at Gu Siwei and wanted to curse. Before she could speak, Gu Siwei took out a passport from his pocket and waved it in front of her: "Is this okay?"

When the woman saw it, her face turned red as if her neck had been choked instantly.

"If it's possible, we'll go in." After Gu Siwei finished speaking, he ignored her and walked inside.

Entering the Friendship Store, Gu Siwei looked around curiously. He had only seen it in pictures before, but now that he actually walked in, Gu Siwei felt that it was no different from an ordinary store.

It's still a big counter, with the same salesperson standing inside, but the items here are richer, and the prices are almost sky-high in the eyes of today's Chinese.

It's just that such a sky-high price is probably nothing in the eyes of foreigners. It's very simple. Gu Siwei looks like a good handicraft sold here, but it only costs three or four dollars. Gu Siwei has been selling it for decades. From the perspective of hindsight, this thing is really no different from picking it up for free.

"Can I help you with anything?"

Many salesmen saw what happened at the door just now. Some simply ignored Gu Siwei and his group and pretended not to see it. Others smiled politely at Gu Siwei. Of course, more salesmen were I was curious and wondered why among a group of people dressed completely as Chinese, there would be a person with a foreign passport and dressed like ordinary Chinese.

However, when Gu Siwei and his party came to the handicraft counter, the salesperson inside still enthusiastically asked Gu Siwei and others in English.

"Oh, it's still English," Gu Siwei said with a smile, and then said: "Chinese is my mother tongue, just speak Chinese to me."

"How can I help you?" the salesperson repeated in Chinese with a smile.

Gu Siwei said: "If you have any good recommendations, it should be more distinctive and preferably larger. These things are a bit too small."

Gu Siwei actually likes all the things on the counter now. The only drawback is that they are a bit small, such as cloisonné vases and the like, which are only about 20 centimeters. Firstly, they don’t suit Gu Siwei’s temperament; secondly, It is too small to be placed in the current Dabie wilderness in other Hong Kong cities.

When the salesperson heard this, he immediately picked up the partition on the counter, walked out of it, and said, "Then please come with me. We only have small items on this floor. I will take you to the second floor to see the larger items."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei followed the salesperson to the second floor. When he got upstairs, Gu Siwei's eyes were really opened. The cabinets here were full of large items, including jade, porcelain, and calligraphy and painting antiques. , from Gu Siwei’s perspective decades later, it’s like following a museum.

Of course, most of these things could really go into museums at that time.

"These are all good things!"

Lu Yan and You Xugang had never been to the Friendship Store before. When they saw the things here, they were even more miserable than Gu Siwei, and their eyes almost went straight.

"Look at whatever you like."

This salesperson had a good temper. When he saw the appearance of Gu Siwei and others, he did not laugh at them. Instead, he calmly led them around the second floor. While walking around, he also introduced the products currently on display here. thing.

This girl can tell everything, and she does it pretty well.

"Are they all for sale here?" Gu Siwei asked.

"Yes, everything is for sale here, and there are labels on them." The salesperson smiled and stretched out his hand to indicate that there were labels on the items.

Gu Siwei took a look and felt that the price of this thing was so... that he didn't know what to do.

"Which one is the most expensive here?" Gu Siwei asked.

"The one you are looking at is the most expensive one here. It is very difficult to burn, and you may not be able to burn one out of dozens. Moreover, it is a life-size copy of the original in the Forbidden City. Now these two are even more precious. It’s rare…” the salesperson introduced.

Gu Siwei glanced around.

Then he stretched out his hand and clicked: "That, that, and that...".

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you."

"Girl, I haven't finished speaking yet. I don't want the ones I just pointed out because they are too small. I want all the rest!" Gu Siwei said.

Not to mention the salesperson who was dumbfounded, You Xugang and Lu Yan who followed him were also dumbfounded, not to mention Sicui and Hu Yanping.

Gu Siwei saw that his brother-in-law was already running away, so he opened his mouth and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Brother-in-law, I have an urgent need to urinate." Hu Yanping rolled his eyes.

"Shit, you think I can't afford it, right?"

Gu Siwei could see his brother-in-law's little thoughts at a glance.

Hu Yanping said: "Brother-in-law, if you are crazy, don't drag us with you. It will be really embarrassing when you can't afford the money. My sister has such a good character, so stop playing tricks on me."

"It's okay, it's okay. There's not a lot of people around now anyway, so it's good if I hang around with you and talk." The salesperson immediately began to comfort Hu Yanping and others.

Gu Siwei said to the salesperson: "Don't listen to them. Do you accept checks here? It's from HSBC Bank."

"I'll take it!" the salesperson said with a smile.

Gu Siwei said: "Then there is no problem! Just do as I say, and take me to see calligraphy and painting."

The salesperson was a little embarrassed and stood there for a while not knowing what to do.

Gu Siwei finally figured it out, looked at the salesperson and said with a smile: "Well, I think you know it quite well. You can estimate it. Now you have calligraphy and painting by contemporary artists, as well as calligraphy and painting by famous people in the past. The total is about How much is it worth? Pack it up for me. If you're afraid I can't give you the money, give me the amount and I'll write out the check. You can take it and see if you can cash it, right?"

The salesperson listened and said awkwardly: "I didn't mean that."

"I know, your service is very good, I don't mean anything else, I just think I like the things here. Forget it, let's do this, I will write a check here, how about we refund more and make up less? "

As he said that, Gu Siwei touched Xiao Huangjun's shoulder bag on his back and took out the checkbook. At the same time, a Parker gold pen came out with the checkbook.

As soon as the salesperson saw this pen, he knew that Gu Siwei was really rich, because she had seen this pen before, and one pen cost thousands of dollars.

The salesperson took a fancy to it, and so did Hu Yanping.

"Brother-in-law, this is a good deal!"

He watched Gu Siwei write the check in a flash, then pulled it off and handed it to the salesperson's hand. After finishing the check, he was still acting cool. He stretched out his hand and pulled the pen from Gu Siwei's hand into his own hand.

As soon as he said the word "yes", the boy was put into his arms. It seemed that this deal was like a meat bun and a dog that would never come back.

Gu Siwei glanced at his brother-in-law: "This...".

"What pen?" Hu Yanping looked confused.

Youxugang said with a smile: "It's useless for you to ask for this pen. Do you have money to buy ink? The ink used in this pen is not ordinary ink. If you add ordinary ink, it will block it. Listen to me. Give the pen back to him. It's too arrogant for you, a student, to use a pen worth more than a thousand dollars."

"How many!"

Hu Yanping was shocked.

After hearing more than a thousand words, he immediately took out the pen again and carefully put it back into Gu Siwei's hand: "I still don't want it anymore."

"Take it and use it. You can use it with the bottle of ink. The pen I gave you is actually pretty good, but it's just not as fancy as mine." Gu Siwei said with a smile.

When his children go to college, Gu Siwei naturally has to prepare pens. Both children have Parker pens, but their pens are very simple, and the one he uses is actually used to hold coins most of the time. Gold nibs, hand-carved patterns, etc. are all gimmicks, just to make them look expensive.

It is normal for rich people to sometimes put coins in places where they cannot be seen.

After talking about his brother-in-law, Gu Siwei saw the salesperson still standing at a loss with the check he had written out, so he smiled and said: "Go and ask your manager!"

"Okay, okay!" The salesperson finally came back to his senses.

It wasn't that the salesperson liked to watch the fun, but she was confused by the zero on the check. She had never seen such a large number in her life.
