Taking these hardcover editions back home and displaying them there will make you look stylish.
"Boss, can you open those history books and read them?"
"That won't work. These are hardcover editions for collection. I spent a lot of money on them. Even if you accidentally break a corner, I will lose a lot."
"Boss, what you said doesn't make sense. How can we know if there are any problems with those books if we don't read them? What if you fool us?" Cai Cai said unhappily from the side.
"Little girl, you don't know me, Lao Huang, but everyone around me knows who I am. Integrity is what business is all about. I just collected these from an old alley courtyard this morning. That family is a representative of A scholarly family passed down from generation to generation, it is said that our ancestors were high-ranking officials during the Qing Dynasty."
"It has been passed down to the current generation. The younger generation worships foreigners and is unwilling to come back after studying abroad. In addition, they are the only children in the family, and their parents have passed away one after another. They returned to China a few days ago to sell the old courtyard house. These are all extracted from it. of."
"The story is more real than the truth. Who would believe it? Hero, let's go."
"Whose girl are you from? Your mouth is too bad." The boss choked and almost became furious.
"Boss, don't be as knowledgeable as her. I'll take another look." Li Mo smiled, his eyes focused, and his eyes suddenly penetrated [History of the Tang Dynasty]. Originally, he just wanted to confirm whether the content inside was fraudulent, but unexpectedly a gray streak appeared The light shines through, forming eighty or ninety halos that spread around.
You can find good things here!
Then his eyes moved to other books, and in the "Qing History" book, he saw milky white light shining through, and seventy or eighty halos shrouded it, which was enough to show that there were valuable treasures hidden in it.
Li Mo withdrew his gaze and said leisurely: "Boss, I have read it. Each hardcover volume has a seal of collection and seal. It is well preserved and should be exactly what you said. You can tell me the price and I will give it a try if it suits you. Take it home, and to tell you the truth, I am a student in the Department of History and Archeology at Peking University, and I am very interested in these books."
"No wonder I feel that my little brother is so bookish. He is really a person who has read a lot of poetry and books." The boss smiled broadly and said more enthusiastically, "I spent 1,800 yuan to buy each volume. How can I make a profit?" Thank you for your hard work. If you really like it, little brother, you can give me an integer of 10,000 in the History of the Five Dynasties."
"Boss, you're talking about it in the lion's mouth. I have a similar hardcover collector's edition at home. I heard my grandpa say that these are worth two to three thousand."
Before Li Mo had time to counter-offer, Cai Cai used her natural ability to cut in half and then chop again.
"Little girl, if you keep this attitude, I won't do this business. I can't do it at a loss and still be thankless."
The boss waved his hand, a little angry.
Li Mo pulled her down, thinking to himself that if you keep doing this, I won't be able to catch it.
"Boss, please give me a sincere price."
The boss looked at Li Mo's serious look, then glanced at the angry Cai Cai a few times, gritted his teeth and said, "I won't sell it, I'd rather sell it to someone who knows the business."
Li Mo saw that what he said was quite upright, but his eyes kept drifting this way. He knew in his heart that he was retreating in order to advance. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's a pity. There are still relatively few of these hardcover editions on the market. I still have it." I figured you could get it for a thousand or two thousand cheaper, so I gritted my teeth and bought it. Cai Cai, let's go back to the bookstore to look for it."
"I said Boss Huang, this young man is a cultural person. Since he likes you so much, just fulfill his wishes."
As the two of them were about to leave, the old man setting up a stall next to them began to help them enthusiastically.
"Young man, Boss Huang is quite honest in business. I think two thousand is a bit cheap. At least he can earn some money for cigarettes and alcohol."
Li Mo stopped and said to the boss: "The old man is right. Let's do this. I will take away all the eight thousand and five thousand. I won't explore how much you earn."
The boss had a cut-off expression on his face and said, "Little brother, today I will make you my friend."
After transferring the money on his mobile phone, Li Mo quickly left with the packed books.
"Lao Zhang, I'll transfer a thousand yuan to you later." Boss Huang smiled crookedly when he read the text message.
"Boss Huang, you should make at least 80% of this profit. You are so lucky today. You opened the business not long after you arrived."
"How can we wait until such a young boy doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to kill him?"
The two looked at each other and laughed evilly. This was not the first time they had performed a double act, but this time it went surprisingly smoothly.
"My hero, are you a short-sighted person? The vendors in this place are all eating people without spitting out their bones. Look at you, you are so happy to be slaughtered. Are you panicking because of the money?"
"How do you know I have more money?"
Li Mo hummed a little tune. He bought a large travel backpack from a luggage store not far away. It was much easier to put books in it and carry it on his back.
Li Mo was looking forward to the moment when the secrets hidden in the history books of the Five Dynasties were revealed, and he gradually fell in love with this process of treasure hunting and revealing secrets.
"My hero, since you are stupid and have a lot of money, don't blame me for giving you a big meal at noon."
"Don't worry, the rice will be enough."
Cai Cai rolled her eyes a few times, walked up to him in two steps and asked softly: "Are you really a student of the Department of Archeology at Peking University?"
"It's almost done, don't you believe it?"
Li Mo turned to look at her. The little girl's face was full of suspicion and she couldn't help but smile: "If you don't believe me, I'll throw you away."
She really didn't know how to chat, so Cai Cai rolled her eyes.
The two of them walked forward along the alley and turned into another avenue in about ten minutes. The architectural style here has become retro. There are Chinese-style two-story buildings on both sides of the road, with shops on the first floor. Today is Saturday and the weather is good. There are so many people shopping, as if they have returned to the Magic City City God Temple.
"Cai Cai, let's go eat first." Li Mo touched his stomach and was aroused by the smell of delicious food.
…
The old roast duck restaurant Cai Cai mentioned is quite high-end, and being able to open near Panjiayuan is a symbol of strength.
"Just give us a room for two in the lobby. Let's have some lemonade first, and then bring us the menu for the big dinner."
The waiter guided them to a seat by the window and placed the menu in front of them.
"Let's have a roast duck, use the duck rack to make soup, add a little more salt. Then have a salt and pepper shrimp, Australian dragon fried rice, braised lion's head, tea chicken, egg yolk bread crab, pickled cabbage gold soup fish, and a sweet and sour jellyfish , this is not enough first and then more.”
"The food is a bit too much for you two to eat." The waiter reminded kindly, but hesitated to speak and looked at Li Mo.
"She's a foodie, so maybe that's not enough."
"You two may not know, but some of the dishes are airlifted from abroad, so they are more expensive." The waiter kindly reminded them again that they looked young, so don't eat like a king.
Only then did Li Mo understand. He took out a black gold card from his wallet and handed it to her: "I won't embarrass you."
"Thank you sir, I'll place the order right away."
Having worked in the service industry for a long time, she could tell at a glance that this was a black gold bank card. A few million dollars could be swiped casually, and a mere few thousand dollars was not even enough to stuff between the teeth. These two people were definitely the second generation of rich people.
The delicacies were passed on one after another, and the dishes were cooked immediately. While eating, he was still sighing: "There are two things in this life that people cannot live up to. One is life, and the other is food. I'm not polite, my hero."
Li Mo's hand was not slow, and the diners next to him looked sideways frequently, fearing that they would fight over it.
Ten minutes after eating, Cai Cai's cell phone rang. She glanced at the call and said, "Comrade Lao Zhu, I'm eating. Don't worry, how can an invincible beautiful girl like me be hungry?" . Don’t worry, I ordered a side of miscellaneous noodles and added a poached egg. Well, you, the old man, also need to eat and drink well. What are you afraid of if you lose your job? You may have to start over again. Okay, bye."
Li Mo saw her eat a lion's head with a forkful of it, and his cheeks bulged as he ate it. He asked curiously: "This meal of mixed noodles is not cheap. Who are you fooling?"
"Lao Zhu at home is middle-aged and unemployed. He has been a little depressed recently. I saved the pocket money given to me. If I hadn't met you, I would have had mixed noodles again at noon today."
"What does your dad do?"
"Lawyer, he has been in trouble for more than ten years. Some people say that his character is too upright. One is one, and two is two. This kind of character is most suitable for legal aid, and he is impartial, but it is too tough when it comes to litigation. .”
"To put it nicely, it's called integrity, to put it worst, it's a donkey's temper. I took on a case some time ago and offended my employer, which caused a lot of trouble. I had no choice but to resign and be unemployed."
"Everything will be fine." Li Mo poured her a glass of lemonade, "Give me your dad's phone number. Maybe I will consult him on legal matters in the future."
"Call me."
Cai Cai took Li Mo's phone and started operating it.
"It's Lao Zhu, call him anytime if you need it. Don't reveal that I gave it to you, otherwise he will catch me and ask questions."
