Fang Sijin didn't make any announcement about the fake bag, and went around sweeping the building the next day.
However, the Hujiang River is so big that it would be too difficult for her to find it alone.
Although Zhu Xianxuan is a local aboriginal, this is his first time in the old house business, so he can't help him at all.
…
"Another tired day with no results?" Xiang Nan asked with concern with a smile.
"I've been running for two days, but I still haven't found the bungalow that Mr. Lin wants. It's really difficult." Fang Sijin was so tired that his back and legs ached, and he slumped on a chair as soon as he returned to the store.
"Don't be discouraged. I will introduce someone to you tomorrow. With his help, you will get twice the result with half the effort." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Really?!" Fang Sijin became excited after hearing this.
"Don't worry, this person can be called a living map of Shanghai. If you want to find a house in Hujiang, it's not wrong to ask him." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"That's really great." Fang Sijin said happily.
…
After a while, Xiang Nan took Fang Sijin to visit the living map.
I also bought many gifts on the way. In addition to liquor and tea, I also bought Zhenlaodafang fresh meat mooncakes. That was a famous product in Hujiang, with a record high of 300,000 sold in one day. Come anytime, there's always a queue.
"Hey, don't tie the seal so tightly, otherwise the water vapor will spread out and stick to the crust, making it less crispy." Xiang Nan also criticized on the way.
"How can it be that exaggerated?" Fang Sijin pouted.
She didn't believe anyone could eat it.
"Be respectful of food." Xiang Nan rolled his eyes at her and said.
…
After a while, we arrived at the home of the living map.
"Come on, call Uncle Zhang~" Xiang Nan recommended.
Fang Sijin couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that this living map was an old man in his sixties, with an unattractive appearance and a not-so-good place to live.
She originally thought that Xiang Nan was going to introduce her to professors and experts who studied the historical architecture of Shanghai. But this man's temperament, appearance, and conversation really don't look like a scholar.
"Wenchang, why are you thinking of coming to see me?" Huitu Map said with a smile.
"I haven't played chess with you for a long time. My hands are itchy today. Let's play a game." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm also worried about having no opponents." Live Map said with his eyes shining.
"Then sit down and I'll go get the chess pieces." Xiang Nan smiled, then went into the room to find the chess pieces with a smile.
Fang Sijin couldn't help but feel surprised and dissatisfied when she saw that Xiang Nan was not in a hurry to ask questions, but instead wanted to play some chess game. She thought for a moment, opened the mooncake box and handed it to the living map, "Uncle Zhang, have a piece of cake~"
"Hmm." Huo Tu took the cake and took a bite, "Okay, it still tastes like when I was a kid. Unfortunately, if it hadn't been sealed when I bought it, the texture would have been crisper." Then he threw the mooncake back into the box. It looked like he wasn't going to eat anymore.
"..." Fang Sijin was suddenly startled, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
She is not particular about her diet, as long as she can fill her stomach. I never thought that someone could be so picky about food and have such a sensitive tongue.
If you can't please others, and you want to ask them questions, you will naturally be embarrassed to say them.
…
Just when she was embarrassed, she heard Xiang Nan laugh and say, "Uncle Zhang, how long have you not played chess? It took me a long time to find the chessboard."
"I have no opponent. If you don't come, who should I play with? With those stinky chess baskets on the street?" Huotu said with a smile.
Xiang Nan smiled, then placed the chess pieces, and then glanced at Fang Sijin, "Don't do it, go and serve tea to Uncle Zhang."
Fang Sijin was stunned and hurried away.
"Xiao Xu, your wife has changed? Is this your new girlfriend?" Huo Tu asked with a smile when he saw this.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he curled his lips and said, "Not yet."
When Huo Tu heard this, he smiled ambiguously.
Not yet, but maybe it will be in the future. He understands.
If Xiang Nan didn't like her, he wouldn't have brought her here.
"Uncle Zhang, play chess~" Xiang Nan said with a smile, and then started to fight with the live map.
He has a superior IQ and inherited Ji Xiaolan's superb chess skills. The two combined together have extraordinary strength. They can kill the living map to the point where they are almost completely stripped of their armor and are unable to fight back.
"Hey, Xiao Xu, you are good at chess." Although he lost one game, Living Map became more energetic, "Here, let's play another game."
Xiang Nan laughed and said, "Wait a minute, Uncle Zhang. I brought my colleague here today because I want to ask your help for something."
"I know you didn't come here to play chess with me." Huo Tu smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about it. Let's continue playing chess after that."
Xiang Nan nodded and glanced at Fang Sijin, "Why don't you tell Uncle Zhang quickly?"
"Yes, Uncle Zhang, I have a client who wants to find an old bungalow with a terrace, a dome, a gable, and a black wrought iron door. Do you know where it can be found?" Fang Sijin asked quickly.
Living Map thought for a moment, "Bring me the map."
Fang Sijin hurriedly found the prepared map of Hujiang City.
The living map then circled several places, "There should be some of these places, go and look for them."
When I saw Fang Sijin, I was a little doubtful.
She couldn't believe this ugly old man.
"Go, help Uncle Zhang heat up the mooncakes in the microwave." Seeing her hesitant expression, Xiang Nan guessed what she was thinking and ordered immediately.
Fang Sijin nodded and hurried away.
Huo Tu glanced at Xiang Nan, "Xiao Xu, you said she is not your girlfriend, I really believe it now. This woman is not worthy of you, she is too small."
"People always change." Xiang Nan smiled, "She still has a good background."
The living map laughed when he heard it.
…
After a while, Fang Sijin came out with warm mooncakes, but his face looked a little unnatural.
Xiang Nan then played two games of chess with Uncle Zhang. One game resulted in a draw, and the other game was lost, which was considered a tie.
"Okay, I know you are busy with things, so don't accompany me as an idler." Huotu said with a smile. He knew that Xiang Nan had asked him to play the next two games on purpose, "Go and do your business."
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, I'll come back and play chess with you later." Xiang Nan smiled and then left with Fang Sijin.
"Manager Xu, is this Uncle Zhang really reliable?" Fang Sijin asked curiously after coming out.
"Of course it's reliable." Xiang Nan nodded, "He has been a postman in Hujiang for more than 40 years, and he has visited all the streets and alleys of Shanghai. When it comes to the geography of Shanghai, no one is more familiar with it than him. "
When Fang Sijin heard this, he suddenly realized.
No wonder Xiang Nan called him a "living map". No wonder Uncle Zhang drew a few circles on the map and was sure there was the house she was looking for.
The lover's family has been running on the streets of Hujiang for more than forty years, and the streets and alleys of Hujiang are indeed much more familiar to her than she is.
"Manager Xu, you are so awesome. You can know such awesome people." Fang Sijin said with envy afterwards.
Having such a living map is really a hassle-free thing. If you want to know what kind of house you are looking for, just ask him directly. It will be more accurate than asking the navigation system.
Xiang Nan smiled.
This is one of the reasons why Xu Wenchang has a monopoly on bungalow transactions. His network of contacts is so extensive that together, he has a strength that others can never match.
