Chapter forty-ninth black sheep

"It must be, I will definitely bother Brother Hu at that time..." As the saying goes, people carry people in a flower sedan chair, and others naturally have to cover their faces. After Fang Yi agreed, his bearded and several other stall owners dispersed and returned to his stall.

"Hehe, we guys, we're just making a big fuss..." The fat man's eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled. Although he was a little tired of setting up a stall in this antique market, he was in a very comfortable mood. Seeing the items in his hand exchanged for money, the fat man was so happy.

"It's still early to stand out..." Sanpao said unhappily: "When our brothers have bought houses in Jinling City, they will be considered as having a standout. Now we should do business steadily..."

"Yes, we are all buying houses in Jinling City and marrying a city man as a wife!" The fat man rarely argued with Sanpao, and his eyes showed a look of longing. Children who grew up in the country dreamed of living in the city, and the fat man was no exception.

"Okay, fat man, how was the business just now?" Fang Yi said something and interrupted the two of them. It would be better to sell a few more beads with the leisure time to dream.

"Fat Master, the business is naturally great..."

After hearing Fang Yi's words, the fat man showed a smile from the bottom of his heart and said, "I sold two strings of Xiaoye Red Sandalwood beads, and earned a total of 400 yuan, and sold four strings of Xingyue Bodhi, and earned a total of 880 yuan. Vajra Bodhi, and earned a string of 18 yuan..."

The fat man smiled proudly and continued, "Fang Yi, guess what else did I sell?"

"How can I know? I can't tell if there are so many goods with only three or five items..."

Fang Yi shook his head when he heard this. The goods given to them by Man Jun were hundreds of strings of various cultural beads. There were only a small part of them on the stall, and many of them were in the tricycle under the glass display cabinet.

"Fang Yi, I sold the poplar and Guanyin that Brother Man gave us..." The fat man laughed, stretched out two fat slaps, and said, "One thousand, one thousand yuan sold for a whole thousand yuan. How about it, I'm awesome, aren't you?"

"Hmm? Did you sell that Guanyin?"

After hearing the fat man's words, Fang Yi was stunned for a moment. The items they came out to set up the stall this time were the largest Guanyin, which was more than 30 centimeters tall, and the carved subtle rights protection. According to Man Jun's words, this thing would be sold at least 800 yuan, but he didn't expect that the fat man would sell more than 200 yuan.

"That's right, don't you see who Fatty is..."

The fat man raised his head proudly, and his chin was almost tilted to the sky. During the hours when Fang Yi left, the fat man sold several items in succession, and finally regained his confidence that he had been hit by Fang Yi before.

If the fat man opened his mouth, he could indeed make the dead dead. An old man had visited this stall before. After chatting with the old man for a few words, he knew that this was a Buddhist. He immediately took out the poplar wood carving piece from the tricycle and fooled the old man and paid for it.

"Fatty man is doing a good business. The price of the item Man gave us is 300, which means he made 700 in vain..." Sanpao said from the side. He was indeed not as good as Fatty when doing business, but Sanpao is responsible for money. Every time he sells something, he calculates the cost and profits.

"Sanpao, how much money did we make today?" After the crowds decreased in the afternoon, Fatty and Sanpao chatted with the stall owners next to them, and they didn't even bother to calculate their income today.

"I'll do it..."

Sanpao took out a small notebook and said while counting, "Brother Yi bought a string of small-leaf red sandalwood for 500 yuan, and two strings of beads added up to four hundred and two. Fatty beads sold for seven strings of beads of 1,466. Not counting the Guanyin carvings, the sum of the money for selling beads today is 2,380 yuan..."

After calculating today's sales, the sound of Sanpao was trembling. You should know that the prices of the beads given to them by Manjun were all 100 yuan per string. In this way, after removing the cost of ten beads, Fatty and the others made a net profit of 1,380 yuan just by selling beads.

In addition, the 700 yuan earned by the Guanyin carvings of poplar wood, their brothers earned 2,000 yuan a day. This day's income is even higher than that of many dual-employed families working in Jinling City. No wonder Sanpao was also excited.

"Two thousand a day, isn't it sixty thousand a month? Brothers, are we rich?"

Although the fat man's mathematics was taught by the teacher of sports, Chinese, and mathematics in their school, he still calculated the number of 2,000 times 30 with his fingers, and his eyes suddenly widened.

The fat man must be excited. You must know that when he was a security guard, he only earned more than 1,000 yuan a month, and then paid ten yuan a day for food, so he could only earn eight or nine hundred yuan. He had to work for five or six years without eating or drinking before he could earn sixty thousand yuan.

"Don't be excited for now, the account is not settled like this, right?"

Seeing the fat man and the three-pawner dancing, Fang Yi poured a basin of cold water on them and said, "This market will only have a very good business on weekends. It would be nice to sell one-third of the weekends. Today is Sunday, and sales may come tomorrow..."

Fang Yi did not wander around this afternoon. Through listening to conversations with others, he learned that although the business in the antique market is driven by tourists, most of the people who have completed the transaction are local players in Jinling. Since these players usually have to work, weekends are the time for the antique market to be traded.

"That's not bad. You can earn a small income of 20,000 yuan a month..." Fatty and Sanpao were not hit at all. They were both people who have been in society. Just because of their two veterans, they would not even get two thousand yuan a month, not to mention 20,000 yuan a month.

"Well, this industry has its beginning..." Fang Yi thought for a while and said, "You two learn more. Let's open up the channels for purchases in the future, and we will continue to work in this antique market..."

"Okay, let's do something big!" Youqian in your pocket was not panicked, and the fat man and Sanpao also had a little more confidence on their faces.

"Okay, hurry up and close the stall and leave..." Fang Yi took out the pocket watch from his pocket and looked at it, and said, "It's almost six o'clock, so let's not let Mr. Sun and the others wait..."

"Okay..."

The fat man and Sanpao agreed, and quickly took the things in the glass cabinet into the bag, and then sent the bag back to Manjun's shop. Before leaving, Manjun left the key to Sanpao. Anyway, there was not much valuable stuff in his shop.

"Hey, Xiao Fang, here..." When Fang Yi and the others came to the market entrance and looked around, Old Sun's voice came from a small car.

"Get into the car and go to where you live..." Old Sun shook the window and waved his hand at Fang Yi. The one sitting in the front driving position was Old Sun's student Zhao Hongtao.

"Xiao Fang, I'll just mess with the teacher..." Zhao Hongtao greeted Fang Yi. He knew that the teacher valued Fang Yi very much, so he didn't show any curator's airs.

Fang Yi knew that if he wanted to continue working in the antique market smoothly in the future, he would definitely rely on Deputy Director Zhao. He immediately said, "What's the matter? Director Zhao is willing to come, just give us some face..."

"Okay, let's talk to the place. The windows are open on hot days, and the air conditioner is gone..." Old Sun interrupted the greetings between Fang Yi and Zhao Hongtao.

"Old Sun, we live here..." Fang Yi pointed to the direction of Man Jun's family and said, "It only takes four or five hundred meters to walk from here, which one is next to the telephone pole. We can just walk..."

"You are living here? That's very convenient..." After hearing Fang Yi's words, Old Sun pushed open the car door and walked down, saying, "Let me walk over with you. I've been lying on the bed for so many days, so I should be active..."

"Teacher, then you guys go first, I'll park the car in the parking lot..." Zhao Hongtao said.

"Hmm? Don't drive tonight, have a few drinks with me..." Old Sun nodded. He was still very satisfied with Zhao Hongtao, the disciple.

When he was in charge of graduate school, Mr. Sun was determined to teach him his experience in antique appraisal, but Zhao Hongtao was obsessed with miscellaneous items and was not very interested in porcelain and bronze. Over the past ten years, Zhao Hongtao has become an expert in miscellaneous appraisal in China.

"Old Sun, Director Zhao, you are here, hurry up, fall down and sit in the house. It's too hot outside..." When Fang Yi and others came to Man Jun's house, Man Jun was already looking forward to it in front of the door. After welcoming Mr. Sun and others in, he hurriedly took out the watermelon that had already been frozen in the refrigerator.

"Xiaoman, your house is pretty good..."

After entering Manjun's house, Old Sun said, "It's not easy to have such a house with a yard in the downtown area. What's more, Xiaoman, you are doing antique business, so you'll get the moon first..."

In fact, the place where Mr. Sun lives is not very far from here. When he was working at the Jinling Museum, he often passed by Man Jun’s house to and from get off work, but he didn’t know him at that time.

"What Mr. Sun said is that I can do this business, and I have the advantage of this house..." Man Jun nodded and said, "This house is close to the antique market. When I was walking with my father after dinner, I passed by and went to the market. After a while, I entered the industry..."

"Well, make it well in the future. The antique industry is profound and profound..."

Mr. Sun looked at Man Jun with a little praise. When he was still in the hospital, someone asked about Man Jun's reputation and knew that Man Jun was a man in the industry and had not done anything to cheat for so many years.

This is also the reason why Mr. Sun was willing to visit Manjun's house. Otherwise, with his feather-loving temperament, even if he was optimistic about Fang Yi, he would definitely not have gone to a tyrant businessman's house for dinner.

Man Jun heard what Mr. Sun said, and quickly stood up and said, "Old Sun, don't worry, I will do my business in due course..."

"Okay, if you have anything to do in the future, go find Hong Tao..."

Mr. Sun's words made Man Jun look surprised. You know, he also has a few acquaintances in the museum, but the highest-level one is a deputy. If he can get along with Zhao Hongtao's line, it will be much more convenient to do things in the antique market in the future.

"Brother Man, I won't do anything that violates the principles..." Zhao Hongtao smiled and joked.

"How can I, Man Jun, dare not say anything else. I never do anything illegal or discipline..." Man Jun quickly made a promise, and at the same time, the other party gave a wink. It was already past six o'clock and it was time for dinner.

Seeing Man Jun winked at him, Fang Yi stood up and said, "Old Sun, you can eat some watermelon first, I'll go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes..."

"Xiao Fang, do you want me to help?" Zhao Hongtao stood up and said, "I'm not afraid of you making fun of it. I'm cooking all the dishes in our house. Do you want to show your skills?"

"Director Zhao, you might as well sit down. Fang Yi's craftsmanship will definitely satisfy you..." Man Jun pulled Zhao Hongtao back to the sofa. He ate a meal made by Fang Yi yesterday. Man Jun wanted to lick the plate of vegetables that he never ate. He naturally had confidence in Fang Yi's craftsmanship.

"Oh? Then I want to try..."

Zhao Hongtao sat down with a smile. Seeing that Fatty and Sanpao were a little restrained, he couldn't help but point to them and said, "You two young men are good. There are too few people who are willing to act bravely now. I told the management office that each of you two is rewarded with 500 yuan, and Xiao Fang is rewarded with 300 yuan..."

In fact, Fang Yi was the first to catch the thief in the afternoon, but later it was the fat man and Sanpao who moved the hand. Most of the credit was attributed to them, and the bonus was 200 yuan more than Fang Yi.

"Thank you, Director Zhao, we just did what we should do..." As soon as we heard that there was a bonus, the fat man's eyes lit up, but he still had to be humble.

"Bitch is just pretentious..." Hearing the fat man's hypocritical words, Fang Yi couldn't help but laugh and scolded in his heart, stood up and went to the kitchen to cook, but the fish stew had to be a little heat.

They are all used to doing things since childhood. Fang Yi's cooking is very fast. He cut four cold cuts in seven or eight minutes and took them out. This is for people outside to drink first. The other two stoves were also heated with oil, and the stir-frying dishes were about to be put into the pot.

"Xiao Fang, thank you for your hard work, sit down and eat..." After the four hot dishes were also served, Zhao Hongtao said, "I brought a bottle of red wine. Are you drinking red or white?"

It is naturally difficult to come empty-handed when I visit someone else's house. Before that, Zhao Hongtao brought the red wine from his office, but now he drank the twenty-year-old Moutai that Man Jun took out. Yesterday, he cried and shouted that there was only one bottle of Man Jun, but this time he actually brought out a whole box.

"Drink white..."

Fang Yi took off his apron and sat at the table, picked up the wine glass that Man Jun poured him, and said, "I want to toast Mr. Sun for this glass of wine. Congratulations to Mr. Sun on his discharge from the hospital. I also wish Mr. Sun good health and all the best..."

"Yes, teacher, I must pay attention..." Zhao Hongtao nodded and said, "I will propose to rectify the administrative style within the museum. I will let someone with responsibility and ability go there."

Everything has two sides. Although Zhao Hongtao was a little embarrassed when he said this, it was also beneficial because Gu Guoguang was another deputy director, and the deputy director was competing with Zhao Hongtao for the position of director. Gu Guoguang was arrested, which would definitely be a big blow to the deputy director.
