Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 494

One pestered him desperately, and the other snatched his purple clay pot.

Zhang Yu was sullen for a while, and was distracted by the upcoming Liulichang.

The distance was closer than he had imagined, and he arrived there in less than an hour.

The first time he saw Liulichang, Zhang Yu felt that it was a little different from what he thought, but after thinking about the years of the past few years, he felt that the current deserted appearance is also reasonable, not too unexpected unexpected things.

The Liulichang in front of him was not at all the bustling and lively scene he imagined at the beginning, deserted is not enough to describe the Liulichang at this time, there is not a single stall on the street, and several antique shops on both sides are also closed.

The few antique shops that are open are empty, and no one cares about them. Looking from where Zhang Yu is now, you can still see the scene where the clerk in the antique shop is listlessly lying on the counter and dozing off there.

Boss Han glanced at the lazy guy, but didn't say anything. He hasn't opened a store for a long time, and he doesn't know if he can continue.

Once they can't hold on, the following guys will lose their jobs to eat. What's the use of being diligent at this time?

There are far more antique shops like this than his. It can be said that since the beginning of the Five Dynasties, their business situation has been deteriorating every day, and now the business is even worse. There is no way to improve it.

They have thought of all the ways they should think of, and they once wanted to make Liulichang lively again, but in the end it was fruitless. Even if it later became a public-private joint venture, there was no way to save it, and they could only hold on day by day.

Since the beginning of this year, the number of antiques he has sold is really one of the few you can say.

Although some people would describe their business as "three years without opening, three years after opening", they can't really stop opening!

Not to mention making a profit, even if the cost of those antiques is not counted, the monthly turnover is just enough to pay the salaries of the guys. It can be said that he is making money at a loss and insisting on not closing the door.

However, among all the antique shops on this street, he is still considered good. He still holds a considerable amount of savings in his hand, and he can occasionally make two deals, so he won't be completely reckless.

Those who think of antiques in troubled times, gold and prosperity, took advantage of the new establishment of the country, bought a large number of antiques at low prices, and bought a large number of antiques at a low price. At this time, it is called a collapse.

For example, Boss Xu, who is opposite him, did the same thing, and he did it even more desperately, leaving no way out for himself.

Not only that, but he also learned a lesson, because all the funds in his hand were put on the goods. Last year, if a few other friends hadn't seen it and helped him, his whole family would have starved to death.

So, it's better for this person to leave a little escape for himself!

Thinking about it this way, Boss Han suddenly felt that he could continue to hold on.

The guy looked at his boss's strange expression, which changed several times in a while, and was a little confused.

However, this is not a big deal, as long as the boss does not run away, he can still pay him no matter how strange he can accept it.

Boss Han didn't know about the guy's slander, he just pinched his fingers and calculated how many antique shops would be open next month at Liulichang?

And all of this changed when I saw Zhang Yu who pushed the door in.

Lying on the counter, the boring guy was the first person to see Zhang Yu. He also found that although he was very low-key and his clothes were not outstanding, the materials were definitely the kind that ordinary people would not be willing to buy. In addition, Zhang Yu Generally speaking, he looks like the kind of person who is not short of money, maybe he can really make a fortune today.

Thinking of this, the clerk cheered up instantly, trotted all the way to Zhang Yu and greeted him: "Sir, what do you want to buy? Our shop is one of the best antique shops in Liulichang, and the things in it couldn't be more complete. up"

Seeing the people coming, Boss Han cheered up, called them to sit down to one side, and asked the waiter to pour tea.

When Zhang Yu was seated, Boss Han glanced at his clothes again, yes, that's right, it was the craftsmanship of that old master.

The buddy only recognized that the fabric on Zhang Yu's body was not bad, but he didn't see that the people who made this suit were even more skilled. Don't look inconspicuous, but it is definitely very comfortable to wear.

Moreover, he knew the tailor who made this dress. Although the craftsman was good, it was not something ordinary people could hire.

He also heard that the tailor is now retired, and only takes orders from a few acquaintances every year.

Most people don't have acquaintances to introduce them, and they don't even know where the door is opened.

Zhang Yu was a little helpless when he saw the two people pretending to glance at his clothes inadvertently. The clothes he was wearing had been made as ordinary as possible by a tailor. How could he be recognized by this sharp-eyed person? .

But when it comes to the clothes on his body, there is something to talk about.

The master tailor agreed to make clothes for him only because of a penicillin.

A few days ago, he thought that he had already accumulated a lot of check-in times, so he took out ten sign-in opportunities to test whether his luck recovered?
Facts have proved that his luck in signing in is still a bit worse than before, and he only got one useful thing in ten sign-in opportunities.

The penicillin that was later given to the old tailor's grandson was taken from there.

That time, he obtained a total of [-] penicillins. Later, due to various reasons, he gave out some of them one after another. Until now, there are only ten sticks left in his hand.

However, he has seen the extent of the lack of medicine in this era, and at the same time, he has already made a decision in his heart. In order to protect his family, he will never give the penicillin in his hand to him unless it is a last resort or he signs up for penicillin again. go out.

Call him selfish or cold-blooded, but for him, nothing is more important than his own family. For this era of lack of medicine, a penicillin is life.

"Sir, sir?" The buddy's words and the action of adding tea interrupted Zhang Yu's wild thoughts.

"Well, you say I'm listening, what do you have in your store?" Zhang Yu leaned back in a concealed manner, to ease the embarrassment of being distracted in front of others just now.

The guy has been working with Boss Han for so many years, and he has already honed his skills. He didn't mind Zhang Yu's distraction at all. The calligraphy and paintings of several masters in the early Republic of China are the main ones, as well as agate jade, ceramics, coins, bamboo and wood ivory carvings, etc., whatever you want, you can find it in our store.”
