Chapter 40 Antique Market (5)

"In ancient times, smoke a cigarette..."

"Come in ancient times, come and eat a popsicle..."

"In the ancient place, let's drink a bottle of drinks, it will be frozen in the refrigerator in the morning..."

Following Director Gu into the antique market, Fang Yi and others were almost stunned. As long as they set up stalls in the market, no matter what items they were selling, they all rushed to greet Director Gu. Some vendors selling the fan with the eight beautiful Qinhuai paintings on them ran over and fanned Director Gu.

"Well, you guys are busy, you guys are busy, I'll just take a look..."

As soon as he left the air-conditioned room, Director Gu's white sweatshirt was basically soaked. Before he could walk twenty meters in the market, he waved to the staff of the management office hiding in the cold shade.

"Er Liu, bring the boss and Xiao Fang to see which place is still available..."

Director Gu wiped his sweat with a towel and said, "I'll leave this to you. Choose a good location for Xiao Fang. I'll go back first. At noon, you and Boss Man come to the office together..."

"Don't worry, Brother Man's friend, you have to choose a good position..." Xiao Liu glanced at Fang Yi and watched the leader leave respectfully.

"Er Liu, let's give up the position at my door?" After Director Gu left, Man Jun looked at Er Liu. There were two people named Liu in the Antique Market Management Office. The older one was called Da Liu. The one in front of him was Er Liu.

If you want to talk about the location in this antique market, it is best to have a shop at Manjun, but there are always people setting up stalls there. A few days ago, Manjun wanted to take advantage of the short time that person worked and ask for the location.

"Hmm? Er Liu, your brother Man doesn't even have such face, right?"

Seeing Er Liu frowned after hearing his words, Man Jun was a little unhappy. He often invited these people to have dinner and drinks, so he didn't mention this little thing to Director Gu just now. He originally wanted to find someone below to do it.

"Brother Man, what are you talking about? Your face is definitely good for me..." Hearing the unhappiness in Man Jun's words, Er Liu said in a little embarrassedly: "Brother Man, that's the one at your door, but a relative of Director Gu's family..."

They are all in this antique market, and they can be said to be invisible. Temporary workers like Er Liu generally do not offend bosses like Man Jun. However, he knew that the person who set up a stall at the door of Man Jun’s shop was a cousin of Director Gu’s wife, so he didn’t dare to let that person move.

"So he is a relative of Director Gu? Then forget it..." Man Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, smiled bitterly and shook his head. Fortunately, he didn't talk to Director Gu just now, otherwise he would have been bored.

Er Liu looked around the street and said, "Brother Man, why don't I have someone to squeeze out a seat on the left side of your store? There is no sunshine in the afternoon, so it's more comfortable to practice a stall..."

There are also some special things to do in the antique market. Generally speaking, there are few tourists in the morning and many stalls do not set up, which leads to the shortage of stalls occupying shade at noon and in the afternoon. If Er Liu can squeeze out a seat, it will also give Man Jun a lot of face.

"Okay, that location is also good..." Man Jun looked at Er Liu's finger, nodded, and said, "Just that place, Er Liu, from now on, you can take care of me, brothers..."

As he spoke, Man Jun stuffed a pack of Chinese cigarettes into Er Liu's pocket calmly. As the saying goes, the King of Hell is hard to deal with when he sees a ghost. Director Gu usually doesn't come to the antique market. Usually, if there is anything, he still needs to deal with Er Liu and the others.

"Brother Man, aren't your brothers ours?" Er Liu said beautifully. He followed Fang Yi and the others into Manjun's shop very attentively. On this hot day outside, it was so comfortable to drink tea and chat in the air-conditioned room.

"Fang Yi, pack up your things, you can set up the stall now..." Man Jun said, "Er Liu, please tell them, and then come over to have tea..."

"Brother Man, I'm leaving this matter to me..." Er Liu agreed, and waited for Fang Yi and the others to get the things and took a few people out.

The people from the management office said they wanted to squeeze out a stall. Even if the people outside were reluctant, they would give up a place. Fang Yi put a bench on the ground and put the flat cabinet on it. Sanpao began to put things into the cabinet.

"Xiao Fang, just set up a stall here, just remember a little..." Er Liu told Fang Yi and the others before leaving, "That's not to meddle in other people's business, just do your business well..."

"Mediating? What does it mean?"

After Er Liu left, the fat man curled his lips and didn't think much about it. His mind was completely on the stall in front of him. Although the business was not big, it was his own business, so he no longer had to work to show his face.

"What do you call this big brother?" Fang Yi and Sanpao were busy setting up the stall, and the fat man was almost trapped with the vendor next to him. "We are brother Man's little brothers, so please take care of me in the future..."

"My surname is Ma, just call me Lao Ma..."

The stall next to it sold items such as bronze and porcelain bottles, which did not conflict with the things on Fang Yi and his stall. They were not colleagues or enemies. The man was willing to make friends with the fat man, after all, Man Jun was still a little face on the street.

It is really simple to set up a stall to do business. After the stall is set up, Fang Yi and others have nothing to do.

The antique business is not about shouting, it is purely Jiang Taigong fishing... The volunteer took the bait and ran to Manjun's shop to pour a large glass of water. Fang Yi Ge San chatted with the people at the stall next to him. However, among the three of them, the fat man said the most, and Fang Yi and Sanpao basically only listened and didn't say it.

"Fang Yi, are you going to have dinner with me?" After about half an hour, Man Jun walked over to lock the store door and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it open?"

"Not yet, there are only a few questions..." Fang Yi said, "Brother Man, we won't go to dinner. Just buy a box lunch and make do with it..."

Fang Yi knew that Manjun was very good to their brothers, but he had to be a good deal in everything. You should know that Manjun helped them with love, and not helping them is duty. Sometimes he had to master the timing of the situation, otherwise it would give people a feeling of being arrogant.

"Okay, you have to do business as if you are doing business..."

Man Jun nodded when he heard this. He had been so hard that he had been doing this back then, and he had no boxed lunch at that time. Man Jun always steamed rice at home in the morning and brought some food. He just made up for a day, which was much worse than Fang Yi and the others now.

"Brother Ma, I'll ask for more rice for you, let's eat together..."

There is a place to eat fast food near the antique market. The fat man went over and bought four or five fast food. After returning to the stall, he handed him a portion to Brother Ma who had been chatting about just now. This was because of the several vendors around him, Brother Ma was most popular with them.

"Oh, Huazi, thank you..."

After receiving the fast food handed over by the fat man, Brother Ma couldn't help but be stunned. Although these people are young, they are quite good at making trouble. You know, everyone in the antique market is their own, so who would buy food for others?

"What are you grateful for? Brother Ma, just teach our brother a few more..."

The fat man smiled with a simple face. Their brothers knew in their hearts that Man Jun had already brought them into the industry, and his future work would depend on himself. If there was someone to take care of him, he would have avoided many detours.

Not to mention, just a five-dollar lunch box really works. After dinner, Lao Ma told Fang Yi and others what kind of people are buyers, what kind of people are pure tourists in this market, and how to distinguish these two types of people.

Not only did Lao Ma say it, but also taught by example. Several people came over one after another. Lao Ma could tell whether they bought it or not. Slowly, Fang Yi and others also saw some tricks. When they met someone who looked like a buyer, they became a little enthusiastic when introducing things.

"Xiao Fang, what you sell is cultural relics. This cultural relics are only necessary. Don't leave your hands empty. Wear a few strings on your hands and necks to let the guests see the effect...

Moreover, the prices of these new beads and those after patina are different. If some customers like what you play with, it is not surprising that the price will increase by several times. So you usually wear more than one plate if you have nothing to do, and if someone wants it, they will sell it..."

Faced with these young people who are eager to learn, Lao Ma is willing to teach him. He has been in the antique market for some years. Although he does not do cultural relics, he also brings a few strings of beads. He usually just takes a plate of them for no reason, and the patina is very good.

"That's right..." Fang Yi nodded when he heard Lao Ma's words. Fang Yi kept all the beads left by his master at home. He was used to wearing these things, and he really didn't feel used to them.

"Fatty, Brother Man said, Vajra should be raised with sweat. If you sweat a lot, wear Vajra..."

Fang Yi took two strings of 1000 little kings and hung them on the fat man's neck, and gave them a string of stars and moons to three cannons. Fang Yi has practiced for many years. Although it is not considered a hot day, no matter how hot it is, his hands don't sweat much. He immediately took a string of small-leaf red sandalwood beads in his hand and started playing with it.

Chaotian Palace is not far from Qinhuai River and is one of the most famous places and historical sites in Jinling. There is no shortage of people. By more than 1:00 in the afternoon, more tourists were gradually increasing, and more people were looking at things and asking for prices. However, this first order business has not been completed.

"Why are these people just asking me if you don't buy them?" The hot day was so hot that I didn't make any deals. The fat man was a little discouraged. He sat back and said, "Brother Yi, Sanpao, you two will take a while, Fatty, I want to take a break..."

"I'm lazy and lazy. At the beginning, no one was as energetic as you..." Since childhood, Fang Yi and Sanpao naturally knew the fat man's nature, so they turned around and spitted him.
