Chapter 652 Antique Channel
Although there are no parents and relatives, Fang Yi's New Year is very fulfilling. More than a dozen people are drinking wine and watching the Spring Festival Gala. It is no longer so funny to others. Fang Yi also laughed. Everything is as beautiful as he imagined.
When the midnight bell rang, the sound of firecrackers like tsunamis were deafening. Looking outside through the window, the night sky seemed to have not been lit. A bunch of fireworks flew into the air, and fires flashed everywhere, pushing the atmosphere of the New Year to the apex.
"Fang Yi, this is a red envelope for you!" Sun Lianda took out a few red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Fang Yi, and said, "Fang Yi, Master, I hope you will go further in the new year!"
"This..." Fang Yi looked at the red envelope in the teacher's hand, but was stunned. He really knew nothing about the rules of the New Year, and he didn't know that he had red envelopes to receive.
"What are you doing when you stand there? The teacher will give it to you, so you can continue..."
Zhao Hongtao pushed Fang Yi behind, and he was also envious. He has been following Sun Lianda since he worked. It has been almost twenty years since he was working, but he has never received a red envelope from his teacher. The treatment of this disciple and the students in the university is indeed different.
"My dad hasn't given me a red envelope for more than 20 years..." Sun Chao was also a little chewy next to him. It seemed that his own son was not as close as his disciple.
"Thank you, teacher!" Fang Yi quickly reacted, but instead of receiving the red envelope first, he bowed to the teacher and said, "Disciple wishes the teacher a happy New Year, I wish the teacher good health and all the best..."
"Ruyi, Ruyi..." After receiving Fang Yi's bow, Sun Lianda couldn't close his mouth. The ancients said that Bole was hard to find, but in fact, there were not many horses in a thousand miles. Sun Lianda was really satisfied with the disciple he had taken.
"Grandpa, Happy New Year!" Fang Yi just got up, and Sun Chao's son also knelt down and asked for red envelopes with his hands stretched out. Man Jun's son followed suit and shouted that he also wanted red envelopes.
“Everything, all…”
Sun Lianda was very happy to smile and sent red envelopes to several children one by one, but at the end of the sending, he was stunned because in front of him was a pair of fat, fat hands, looking down, the fat man's face smiled like a flower.
"Mr. Happy New Year, Fatty, I wish you a happy New Year..."
The fat man laughed, and before Sun Lianda could react, he snatched the last red envelope in his hand and shouted: "Young people, you're all going to set off firecrackers with Fat Brother. Those who ran slowly had no firecrackers..."
"Hey, my New Year's money has not been distributed yet..." Man Jun shouted from behind, but when he heard that he was going to set off firecrackers, the children didn't even want the New Year's money and followed the fat man to the yard in a swarm.
"This brat..." Sun Lianda was not angry either, and pointed at the fat man and cursed, but after the fat man's quarrel, the atmosphere in the room became more and more lively.
"Fatty, take advantage of my master..."
At this time, Fang Yi was like a big child, following the fat man and a few children, setting firecrackers in the yard. Although he was celebrating the New Year in Thailand, Hu Lizhi, who had never felt this atmosphere, forgot the cold and started playing with a group of people without losing his childlike heart.
It was lively until midnight, and all the talents dispersed. Fang Yi left Si Yuanjie to Hu Lizhi as his companion. His body had almost been conditioned and he only needed to rest for a few more days to recover.
On the way back, Fang Yi stepped on the thick snow, looking at the red paper scraps and the lights of thousands of families, he felt an unprecedented peace of mind, and Fang Yi understood his master's words more and more deeply.
The so-called worldly refining the mind means experiencing all the ups and downs of the world and worldly world. Only such insights and experiences can make the mind perfect and flawless. Although Fang Yi has not been able to go down the mountain for a long time, he has also realized a lot. These experiences are something that cannot be understood by practicing hard on the mountain.
The next morning, Fang Yi did not get up for the first time to practice martial arts. He slept like a baby. Even the sound of firecrackers in the morning did not wake him up until the fat man ran home to pay New Year's greetings that Fang Yi woke up.
It is natural to enter the worldly world thoroughly. Fang Yi has no parents and relatives, but he has teachers and friends. He brought Fatty with him. Fang Yi went from teacher Sun Lian to senior brother Zhao Hongtao and went to Fatty in Fangcun's house. Finally, he stayed in Fangcun for a whole fish banquet.
In the next few days, Fang Yi had a meal with a hundred families. He took turns to eat from the teacher's house to the Sanpaoman Army and Zhao Hongtao's house. He also had barbecue with Hu Lizhi several times. Hu Lizhi, who likes to eat spicy food, especially loves the night market in Jinling. Even if he is wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, he has to go and have a meal.
However, Fang Yi was idle, but others were already busy. For tourist areas, it was the peak of tourism during festivals. This year's Jinling Antique Market also started a New Year temple fair with the promotion of its opening.
Everyone has holidays during the Chinese New Year, and almost all the attractions in Jinling are crowded. The temple fairs in the antique market have attracted a large number of tourists. Since the first day of the New Year, Man Jun has been busy with Si Yuanjie, and has called Fang Yi a lot during this period to ask him to come and help.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Yi finally couldn't escape and came to the antique market early in the morning. However, before entering the market, Fang Yi was shocked. The crowded scene was something Fang Yi had never seen before.
Fang Yi found that he didn't have to raise his feet when walking here. He just followed the crowd for a while and then came outside his shop. He struggled to squeeze to the door of the shop. Fang Yi was in a hurry and sweated. There were too many people.
"Wuliang, does this make people do business?"
After spending his efforts to squeeze into the door, Fang Yi was a little stunned because there were also people in front of the store, and some children even let the children sit on the threshold and block the door.
"Young man, don't squeeze, you can't sit there even if you squeeze in..." When Fang Yi squeezed into the store, someone kindly reminded him, "I'll move some seat for you, just stay here. The owner of this store is good, and you can also drink hot water..."
"I said there are so many people, are you still crowding with your children?"
Looking at the middle-aged man who was protecting the child, Fang Yi said he was very confused. The temple fair was not here to see the scenery. He was simply to see people. He was a little shorter and could not even see people, so he could only stare at the back of his head.
"Who could have thought there were so many people? Now I can't even get out..." The middle-aged man said with a depressed look on his face: "The children were almost lost. I will never come again next year, and I will never come again..."
"You guys go inside and sit..." Fang Yi said, looking at the middle-aged man who was only five or six years old beside him.
"Don't worry, standing here makes trouble for the boss. How much space can there be? How many people can I get in..." The middle-aged man was very kind, and the people next to him were about the same as he thought, so although there were people standing at the door of the store, there were not many people in the store.
"It's okay, you can take the child in..." Fang Yi gently squeezed away a person next to him and entered the store first.
"Hey, why are you squeezing in if you don't buy anything..." The person who was squeezed was a little unhappy and started shouting.
"Brother Yi, why are you here today?" Si Yuanjie, who was sitting behind the counter, heard the man's words, looked up and saw Fang Yi, and quickly met him out, and said to the man with a smile: "This is our boss. Do you think he can come in?"
"Okay, don't talk to others..." Fang Yi also smiled and shook his head, and said, "If I don't come, Brother Man will post a missing person notice. Yuanjie, how is the business?"
"Brother Yi, stop talking..." Si Yuanjie said with a wry smile when he heard Fang Yi's words; "Business is okay in the first two days, but I don't know why there are more people all of a sudden. Look, can this door still have business?"
The antique market is different from tourist attractions. Most of the people who come here on holidays are tourists who only look at and don’t buy them. Si Yuanjie sold a lot of things today, but most of them were hiding from people in the store, but they only bought some cheap beads worth hundreds of dollars for only face. The turnover is only two or three thousand yuan, and the business is far less than usual.
"Young man, I'll go back to my parents' home on the first day of the New Year to pay my respects to the second day of the New Year. I'll have time to take my children out to play after the third day of the New Year..." The middle-aged man following Fang Yi also squeezed into the store. After hearing Si Yuanjie's words, he couldn't help but explain.
"Yuanjie, if you have children, please let me go to the store to rest..."
Fang Yi naturally wouldn't care about the good or bad business. He also knew that this antique shop now all hoped that his jade carvings would support the storefront. He was a regular customer and was blocked and could not enter the door. He could buy it in a few days.
"Brother Yi, Brother Man won't let him..." After hearing Fang Yi's words, Si Yuanjie hurriedly said.
"Well? Why didn't Brother Man come in? What about others?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He knew that Man Jun was not the kind of person with shallow eyes. Man Jun would definitely agree to such a convenient thing to others.
"In the back, someone comes to sell things..." Si Yuanjie lowered his voice and said in Fang Yi's ear.
"I understand, it's okay. If you have children, please come in and sit at the door..." Hearing Si Yuanjie's words, Fang Yi immediately understood that someone came to sell goods.
Opening an antique shop is not only about taking out antiques, but also collecting antiques is also its main business. Otherwise, if you only sell it but don’t enter, it will not be enough to sell it even if you collect more. There are many ways to collect antiques.
Most of the antiques in regular antique shops are collected from some folk collectors. This is the most important channel. For example, Man Jun used to drive around in a car and was doing the purchase of antiques.
Another channel is what can be done or not, that is, things from the soil. These things are basically shameless, but they do occupy a large part of the circulating goods in the antique market. This is also a secret published in the antique industry.
Finally, there is another way to buy and sell antiques, which is to wait for the rabbit to come to the door. Some people who are eager to use money or who are not sure about the value of the ancestral objects in their homes often take things to the antique shop to sell them. This is what Fang Yi encounters in this antique shop.
"Yuanjie, you're watching outside, I'll go in and take a look..." Fang Yi knew that this way of buying and selling extremely tests the eyesight of the antique shop owner. Although Man Jun has been in this industry for several years, he may not be able to identify the authenticity of the object-
