The shopkeeper Zhao Deyi watched the rickshaw carrying the benefactor go away. When he turned around and returned to the store, his face returned to normal. He opened the curtain, walked straight to the counter, and took out a tightly wrapped bag from the bottom drawer.
I took out a handful of oceans from the pine box, and then after thinking about it, I quietly put back a few pieces.
With the heavy ocean in his hand, Zhao Deyi walked towards He Qi, neatly stacked the ocean, placed it on the table, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said: "I have been busy for a while, please excuse me, sir.
Please accept the reward."
There is nothing wrong with what Zhao Deyi said, but the silver dollars on the table are not authentic. It is not because of the money, but because the remuneration is half less than that of a normal translator.
The reason is simply that He Qi is a newcomer!
When it comes to money, whoever takes it out feels distressed.
He Qi took a look at the silver coins. There were ten yuan. In fact, he knew that it was less than the normal reward. Before coming here, he heard Li Yan say that Ying Guoguo bought a painting last time. Zhao Deyi just paid
The remuneration for selling Mr. Zhang was 20 yuan. This time I sold two paintings. Normally, the remuneration would be more than 20 yuan.
However, He Qi didn't say anything. He had just arrived and had a good job. He would discuss the rest later. He immediately put the silver dollar into his bag, then held the tea cup and said with a smile: "Thank you, shopkeeper, for your generosity."
Seeing that He Qi accepted it without saying anything decent, Zhao Deyi smiled even more, waved his hand and said politely: "Look what you said, sir."
Then he said meaningfully: "On Liuli Street, there are hundreds of shops on the left and right, all dealing in antiques. These things from our ancestors are not only loved by our own people, but also by foreigners.
Mr. Zhao also recognizes all the shopkeepers on this street. Foreigners come here and there, and no one in each shop understands foreign languages. They have to hire a translator. If you don’t tell me how much money you have spent, you are afraid that the gentlemen will come.
Being late or looking down on the money has delayed everyone."
He Qi's mind moved, thinking that she was going to be introduced to work, but she also knew that Zhao Deyi probably had his own little ideas, but he just didn't know the rules of this industry, so he pretended not to understand and said calmly:
"Shopkeeper, please explain it more clearly."
Seeing that He Qi's tea cup was dry, Zhao Deyi refilled the cup with tea and said with a smile: "Sir, I have just returned from the West. The journey has been very dusty. If you don't mind it, Zhao will go to Qingyuan Building to book a table and invite everyone in the evening."
The shopkeeper and the manager are here to have a casual meal and help Mr.
This was said so brightly that people who didn't know it actually believed it. Zhao Deyi's real purpose was to take jobs for He Qi and collect agency fees from them. He Qi smiled slightly and thought that he would have to find a job anyway.
, I won’t eat this meal for nothing, and said: “Thank you for your kindness, it’s a waste of money.”
It's comfortable to talk to smart people. There are some things that don't need to be revealed. Everyone understands it tacitly. Zhao Deyi understands the essentials of this trip. Seeing He Qi agree, the smile on his face becomes even brighter. If he crosses his legs and sits on the altar
On the stage, with three sticks of incense placed in front of him, he looked like a Maitreya Buddha. At this time, in Zhao Deyi's eyes, He Qi, although still dressed in tatters, was shining with light, the light of white silver coins.
"Sir, a little thought cannot amount to respect." Zhao Deyi took out two more silver coins from his arms and placed them in front of He Qi, very generously.
"Oh~ what does this mean?" He Qi asked confused.
"There is a saying, Sir, please don't be angry, asking people to rely on clothes, horses and saddles. I can understand Mr. Zhao's experience, but in this world, after all, there are many people who look at faces, identity and status, and a sharp eye can tell
When he came out, whatever he said was based on who he was looking at. Zhao had no other intention. He went out to see him off. When he entered an alley, there was a ready-made clothes shop. Mr. Zhao could buy two pieces of clothes that fit him.
We can’t be looked down upon by a bunch of people who say whatever they say to anyone.”
How could He Qi be angry? He wished that the more thoughts like this the better, so he quickly said: "Thank you!"
Zhao Deyi stood up and shouted towards the backyard: "Yan'er, I have been busy with everything this morning. I will take my husband to Li's shop to pick out two pieces of clothes."
"Hey!" Li Yan agreed. He was listening to He Qi talking to foreigners behind the door. In the blink of an eye, he earned 10 yuan, which was his salary for several months. He looked at the shopkeeper respectfully. Now
I admire He Qi from the bottom of my heart.
"Sir, you come with me." Li Yan opened the curtain and said.
"Hmm~" He Qi stood up, suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhao Deyi: "Shopkeeper, it may take a while."
"What's wrong?" Zhao Deyi asked, putting down the tea cup and looking at He Qi.
"After I finish buying the clothes, I have to ask Li Yan to lead the way and find a suitable place to live." He Qi said.
"What am I talking about!" Zhao Deyi's mind wandered, and he led He Qi to the backyard. There were rooms on the left and right. The one to the east was the residence of Zhao Deyi's family. In the two rooms to the west, one was occupied by Li Yan, and the other was occupied by Li Yan.
One is a utility room.
The utility room is filled with tattered wooden chairs, calligraphy and painting utensils, and a few newspapers are spread on the ground inside. The dog boy is lying on the ground because of an injury to his buttocks. His eyelids are fighting, but he does not dare to sleep.
He Qi came and stood up in a hurry.
The house had not been inhabited for a long time and was very dusty. Zhao Deyi stood at the door, pointed inside and said, "Let Yan'er clean up. It's a bright house. If you go to live somewhere else, it won't be as spacious as this one."
Spend extra money.”
Of course, it would be disrespectful to refuse such a good thing. He Qi had no reason to refuse. He bowed to Zhao Deyi and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for taking me in."
Zhao Deyi just smiled and said nothing. Businessmen are shrewd and cannot lose money. Only what they hold in their hands is the most reliable thing. Moreover, compared to the fact that the girl has a ready-made foreign language teacher, a room
What's the utility room? It's a huge profit.
He Qi glanced at the yard and saw no sign of Wang Laoer. He guessed that he was rushing to the wonton stand. On the way to the clothing store, he gave Li Yan a piece of cake and asked Li Yan to find time to go to the wonton stand to hand it over.
Wang Lao Er, by the way, Wang Lao Er can find some time in the next few days to come with his third son and treat them to a meal.
Li Yan responded one by one.
Li's shop sells Chinese-style clothing. He Qi originally wanted to buy a suit, but had to give up and finally bought two gowns. He also bought two pieces for Gouwa according to Li Yan's clothing style. After buying the clothes
, and went to the shoe store again. This time, I spent a total of nearly 4 yuan, including the piece given to Li Yan. If Zhao Deyi hadn’t sponsored two yuan and provided free accommodation, it would be impossible to say that the 10 yuan
, it’s gone when you get it.
Money can make ghosts grind, but without money, it is difficult to move forward. The end of a poor man will still be a poor man. This principle is not limited by time and space. Even if it is pushed forward a thousand years, it will still be useful. He Qi clutched the thin paper in his pocket.
With a few pieces of ocean, I lamented that I had been destined to be a poor man in my two lives. I was a little sad and a little frightened. I urgently had a vision in my heart: "Make money, make money quickly, this is the truth!"
