In the next few days, Lin Feng would ask Fatty to have a meal when he found an opportunity, such as roast duck, fried liver, braised pork... everything he could think of was eaten. As the relationship between the two became closer, Lin Feng He also started calling him Fatty, and Fatty called Lin Feng crazy.
"Fat man, why don't I go sell tapes with you? It's boring to stay at home."
"I said madman, you are so blessed that you don't know how to be blessed. You just walk around after eating and drinking every day. This is simply the life of the nobles in the past. I said where did you get so much money? You don't need anything. Why, do you want to eat and drink well every day?"
"Didn't I tell you? I went to Hong Kong before and got some money to come here. It's not a lot, but it shouldn't be a problem to live in Beijing for another four or five years."
"Hey, let me tell you, it's really easy to make money in Hong Kong. Just go there for a few days and you can eat and drink well for four to five years. Why don't you take me to try it too?"
"Fat brother, actually I didn't get this money in a righteous way, so I won't go into detail. It's just a gangster thing. You still want me to go back? I guess all the gangsters in Hong Kong are looking for me now. Recently I’m not prepared to go there in ten or twenty years.”
"Really or not, then you are still a green forest hero."
"What a good guy, I'm just a lazy person doing nothing. I just don't want to go to work properly every day, so I went to get such a fortune. Now I'm just sitting on my hands, so I plan to find some small business in Beijing. I’ll give it a try, but ah, I’ve been walking around Beijing for several days in the past two days, but there aren’t any good projects.”
"Stop talking about you, Fatty. I've been wandering around Beijing for several years and I haven't found any profitable business." The fat man said a little lonely.
Lin Feng saw that the time was almost up and was ready to add fuel to the fire.
"Fat man, actually I went to Panjiayuan two days ago and found that it is a really good place. As long as you have a good eye and find one or two real things among the many fakes, it will be enough for you to eat. Two years, it can be said that it does not open for three years, but it lasts for three years after opening."
"Is that possible? But neither of us understands, so we don't have to pay for it."
"We don't understand, but as the old saying goes, if you don't understand, just ask. I don't think you're going to sell this tape. Let's go to Panjiayuan and set up a stall. We'll collect some small things first, or we won't collect them at all. Let’s just walk around there and see how our colleagues are doing. Once we’ve figured out the ropes, we’ll collect some gadgets and try the waters.”
"That's okay, madman, why don't we just go there and sell the tapes, and study at the same time without any delay."
"Okay, I'll just listen to you, we'll go tomorrow."
In the evening, Lin Feng was very happy and persuaded Fatty to go to Panjiayuan to set up a stall. This could be regarded as the first step in the long march. Once he became familiar with Panjiayuan, it would not be so abrupt to follow them to rob tombs.
The next day, the two of them rode a tricycle on the street and each had a bowl of stewed braised pork. After eating, they went straight to Panjiayuan. When they arrived, they saw it was really lively. There were accents from all over the country, including many foreigners. Occasionally, they would When I hear the word Hello, some people are in a hurry, and some are asking for a lot of money...
"Fat man, I'll show you the stall. You go in and take a look. Will my idea work?"
"Okay, I'll go take a look right now."
The fat man ran inside with a long stride, while Lin Feng was listening to the music by himself next to the three wheels, and was not in the mood to hawk.
About half an hour passed before the fat man came back leisurely.
"I said you're crazy. I think this business is good. I just passed by a stall and saw a man holding a jar of pickled cabbage and asking for five thousand. The stall owner didn't even pay back the price, but just gave me five thousand in cash. Take that. I'm sure the stall owner will make a lot of money at this speed, and he can sell at least 10,000 yuan."
"Okay, Fatty, then we will come here every day these days. We will go in alternately to find out the market situation. When we go back in the evening, we will sum up what can be collected and what cannot be collected. We will open a stall in a week."
"Okay, let's do it."
While the two were discussing, they saw a man coming over, looking at the tape in the tricycle, and said to Lin Feng and Lin with a smile.
"You two, you two are really the first to come to Panjiayuan to sell pop music tapes in these 49 cities."
Lin Feng took a look and realized that this was the Big Golden Tooth. He didn't even go to find him, but he brought it to his door.
As he spoke, Da Jinya took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to each of Lin Feng and Fatty.
"I said, sir, who stipulated that Panjiayuan can't sell pop music tapes? These antiques must also be baptized by modern civilization. You said that these things have been buried in the soil for so long and have no popularity. Now, after being baptized by my music, maybe you can regain your original style." Lin Feng was talking nonsense to the big gold tooth.
"Hahahaha, this man's eloquence is really unworthy of me if he doesn't come to Panjiayuan to practice his skills. With your mouth, I think you can talk life to death."
After that, several people exchanged names and started talking nonsense while standing there.
"I said Lord Jin, you must have been hanging out in Panjiayuan for many years. To tell you the truth, we two brothers just want to come here to make a living. We came here today just to inquire about the market and see what we can get." .”
"Oh, that's it. I really hit the mark. You two really want to come here to set up a stall. I also see that you two are destined to have a good relationship today. I have a bad temper with Lao Jin, so I will talk to you carefully. "
"Hey, how about this? It's dinner time now. Why don't you choose a place and we can chat while we eat." It's better to talk about this at the dinner table. After drinking a few bottles of wine, we can talk about anything. I can ask.
"Okay, okay, how about we cook the mutton? I haven't eaten this for a few days."
"Yes, yes, cook the mutton. Great heads always agree. Let's go to work cooking the mutton." The fat man who had been silent for a long time suddenly became interested when he heard about the food and immediately agreed.
So the three of them pushed the tricycle straight to a nearby mutton-shabu restaurant, ordered a table of dishes, and ordered seven or eight bottles of beer. After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Lin Feng saw that Da Jinya had almost finished drinking. Start talking to him.
"I said Master Jin, what do you think is the most valuable thing on the market now?"
"To be valuable, it must be porcelain. Foreigners call us China, which means porcelain, so porcelain will never go out of style. Then there are calligraphy and painting, jade and some things used in the palace in the past. But The most valuable things are buried in tombs and are difficult for ordinary people to see."
"Inside the tomb? Robbing the tomb? That must be very dangerous. I heard people say that if you encounter a big rice dumpling inside, you will most likely not be able to come back."
"Hey, that's good. I actually know about Big Zongzi. Could it be that Mr. Lin is also an expert?" Da Jinya said in surprise.
"That's not me. I was just a kid. I heard it from the old people. I guess they wanted to tell a ghost story to scare me."
"Oh, that's it. To be honest with you two, my ancestors were craftsmen of inverted buckets, which means tomb robbers. My ability to identify cultural relics was also learned from my family. These cultural relics and antiques are... You have seen a lot, and as soon as you get started, you can feel the authenticity. The weight of history and the vicissitudes of time left by time are something that fakers will never be able to achieve."
...
Lin Feng and Fatty just kept listening to Da Jinya talking about some of his past things and bragging. Finally, taking advantage of the drunkenness, Lin Feng proposed that he and Fatty wanted to learn from Da Jinya how to identify cultural relics. Da Jinya was so happy that he naturally agreed and made an appointment to meet at Panjiayuan tomorrow, and then they dispersed. .
