Reborn in the fiery age, I am a salted fish in the mountains

Chapter 184 Two Real Men

"Comrade Han Xiaokang, are you in the yard?"

When Liu Hezuo walked up to Han Xiaokang exhaustedly, he said weakly, "I guess you wouldn't go to live in those big state-run recruiting centers, which made me travel a lot, but you actually live here. Hey, Today, my waist is so tired that I can't straighten up."

Han Xiaokang handed him a cigarette, and took out a match to light it for him, "What, the matter over there is settled?"

"What a hammer!"

Liu Hezuo let out a puff of smoke, his eyes full of helplessness, "The two brothers couldn't afford to bury his father at all, and they didn't have any relatives in the city who could help.

So those two little fellows discussed and discussed, and said that they would ask me to pull the cart tomorrow and send his father to the countryside, so that their grandpa would take over the matter."

"My liver is so numb, what kind of shit luck do you think I am?"

Liu Hezuo suddenly went into a rage, "I'm sitting on the side of the road in a good manner, eating sour and refreshing cold noodles. I'm going to provoke someone to provoke me, and I can attract half a boy by sitting so well. Holding Lao Tzu's thigh?
Fortunately, he didn't open his mouth to call dad, otherwise, I would be famous in this life. Alas, I am Cao! "

Han Xiaokang smiled, but didn't answer.

At that time, brothers Jiang Yue and Jiang Tao ran over to ask for help, and besides Liu Hezuo, there was also himself sitting on the side of the road.

But why did the two brothers cling to Liu Hezuo's thigh?

Hiss. Don't they look at themselves like a good person?

But no matter what, there is only a 50% chance of being hugged, and it was all given to Liu Hezuo.

That's why I didn't get into this big trouble, so now it's better for me to speak less in front of Liu Hezuo who is full of resentment.

Just like the winner should usually keep silent in front of the loser.

Zhi Liu Niu took a few puffs of cigarettes, then patted Han Xiaokang on the shoulder, and said with an apologetic face, "Brother Han, I have to go to pull the cart early tomorrow morning. This thing, I have to take advantage of the cool weather in the morning." When the time comes, hurry to the countryside.

Otherwise, it would really stink.So, dear brother, I really can't accompany you to the pigeon market tomorrow. Why don't you find a consignment shop by yourself? "

Han Xiaokang was a little curious, "Why, are you really planning to help out?"

"That's for sure."

Liu Hezuo said with certainty, "I don't like to take matters into my own hands, but if something happens to me, we won't run away.

I figured it out yesterday. Jiang Yue and Jiang Tao are actually two good boys. On the surface, Jiang Yue, the boss, has a lot of social habits and some bad behavior habits.

Jiang Yue usually earns 3 cents and 2 cents by picking up trash, doing odd jobs for others, running errands, and some odd money for his younger brother to study. "

Liu Hezuo smiled slightly, "Hearing this, don't you feel that there is a deep brotherly love and a touching taste in it?"

"Actually, it's not the case. When Jiang Yue ran over to hold my leg, I could tell at that time that this kid's hands and feet were not clean.

What kind of sneaking, cheating and abducting things, this guy will definitely do it a lot. Don't ask me why I know?I don't even think about what I do, I don't need to look at that guy's evil spirit, I can smell it. "

"However... this kid is not bad in his bones. If it wasn't for his younger brother's schooling, Jiang Yue, this kid, if you train him well, he will be a good Miaomiao who can make a lot of money."

"The house is empty and has nothing."

Liu Hezuo sighed, "When encountering such a family, I'd better help him, who told me that this kind of bad luck will be shared by me?"

"Brother Han, do you know where the consignment store is, and how to sell bear skins after entering?" Liu Hezuo asked.

Han Xiaokang shook his head.

I have heard of "consignment shops" myself, but in fact, this so-called consignment shop is not fundamentally different from pawn shops in the old days.

It's just that the pawnshop is included in various promotional materials. It was used to exploit the poor in the old days, and it was characterized as a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.

So after the new era, some urban and rural residents are facing financial difficulties and you need to obtain cash flow.

This kind of consignment store came into being.

In other words, those who are in urgent need of money can take the things at home and take them to the consignment store to cash them out at any time.

There are also some residents who have unused things in their homes, and they can also be "sold" in consignment shops.

In the consignment store, there are two forms of transactions: consignment, and direct sales to the store.

The former means that customers put things in the consignment store first, and then get the money after they are sold, and the consignment store only charges a certain "consignment service fee" in proportion to it.

The latter is a consignment store, which directly brings items to customers and makes an evaluation price.

If the customer finds the price acceptable, the consignment store pays the customer directly.

From then on, how much these commodities can sell for has nothing to do with customers.

This mode of operation is actually no different from the pawnshops in the old days.

It's just a name change.

When Liu Hezuo saw Han Xiaokang shaking his head, not only did he not look down on Han Xiaokang because of this, but he also looked at Han Xiaokang with admiration: This young man in front of him has spent so much money on transportation, accommodation, and meals, and followed him to the county town.

Don't you just want to sell the bear skin in his hand for a good price?
But this evening, when Han Xiaokang met him, he didn't mention anything about selling bear skins at all, and he didn't seem to show much interest in the consignment store.

It was there that he kept asking Jiang Yue and Jiang Tao about the situation of the two brothers.

This shows that Han Xiaokang is not the kind of selfish ghost who sticks his head into the eyes of money and can't get it out, and only cares about his own vital interests.

I don't know that during this period, everyone's income is very limited.

When Han Xiaokang went to the city, he didn't write anything about his own affairs, but even posted more than one yuan.

According to the way most people do, he only cares about where to sell bear skins tomorrow, and then how to get back as soon as possible.

After all, living in the city, eating and drinking, what is not money?
If it is placed in the hands of those very petty people in the countryside, they will not even spend a penny more.

How could it be possible to have the leisure to live in a big car shop in the city, not worrying about when your own goods will be sold, but caring about other people's affairs?
Through this small matter, Liu Hezuo can see a person's heart. So far, his evaluation of Han Xiaokang is only two words: grand!

"It's like this. You can take the bear skin directly to the consignment shop and ask the person in charge to give you an estimate."

Liu Hezuo said, "No matter what price he gave, you just say that you have to think about it, and then you take the bear skin to another consignment shop and ask the people inside to give you another estimate.

Usually the prices offered by the people in these consignment stores are not too outrageous. However, you should pay attention to one thing, when you come out of the first consignment store, you must not rush to the second one. "

Liu Hezuo said, "You have to take a bearskin on your back and go for a stroll around the street. If you really have nothing to do, you can find a small restaurant and order a mapo tofu and two taels of rice to eat slowly. time."

"Because the people in charge of these consignment shops have very special eyesight"

"You go to another store with the bear skin on your back. The price has been overestimated. The person in charge of the second consignment store doesn't have to stand at the door to see you come out of the last consignment store. This guy just needs to touch the bear. Skin, you can guess it, and before that, some peers have already estimated the price."

Liu Hezuo smiled, "So the price he gave is about the same as the price of the last one, and it should be about the same.
This is the rule in their industry, no one will break it.

You must know that these palm eyes who survived from the old era have received at least 10 years of training before they can become teachers and take charge of their own. So they pay attention to rules very, very much.

There is a saying in the industry, "I would rather die than break the rules." If you don't do what I said, you will never get a high price. "

Now here, Han Xiaokang is a little curious, "It seems to be the first consignment company, they left an unknown mark on this item, right?
Otherwise, the person in charge of the second consignment store, how would he know that someone had already valued this item? "

"Inner disk!"

Liu Hezuo gave a thumbs up, "So I will let you go into a small restaurant and order a mapo tofu with a stronger taste. How do these consignment stores mark them? This is the standard in their industry. It's a secret, so I don't really understand it.

But according to my guess, they just started from these aspects: in an inconspicuous hidden corner of the goods, make a mark that only their experts can recognize.

Either leave some unique smell on the goods, such as high-value items such as calligraphy, painting and antiques, and leave scratches or fingernail marks on them. They can't do this kind of thing.

Because they have a rule in the pawn shop, that is, they must never destroy the integrity of calligraphy, painting and antiques. Even if it is just a scratch as thin as a hair, it is absolutely not allowed! "

Liu Hezuo said, "Just like Brother Han, the bear skin you want to sell is not cheap.

I reckon that he left some kind of imprint on the bear skin, or on the eye sockets, on the ear hairs, or on the edges of the fur of the four paws, and you will look for it later.

Another possibility is that the palm eye of the first consignment store could not have put some special potion in the middle of the handkerchief and quietly applied it on the bear skin.

And this kind of potion, we ordinary people can't smell it, only those insiders can detect it. "

Here, Han Xiaokang understands a bit:

The person in charge of the consignment shop wants to leave a certain mark on his bear skin.

It is nothing more than physical scratches or self-made potions.

And if I follow the advice on how to do it and find a small restaurant, it will be smoky and smell complicated.

Sitting in the small restaurant and dawdling slowly for a long time, it is estimated that the smell sprayed on the bear skin by the other party will be almost eliminated.

If you go to the second consignment shop, the other party is a human after all, and he is not a wolf dog. I am afraid that he will not be able to smell the smell left by his peers on the bear skin.

At the same time, sitting in the small restaurant, I can take out the bear skin and search it over and over to see if there is any special mark on it.

With a two-pronged approach, try to remove all traces left by the first consignment company.

That way, wait until you go to the second consignment store.

The other party is very likely to give a relatively satisfactory price
After trying to understand the key points, Han Xiaokang smiled wryly: Hey!The routines in the city are really deep.

"I'm really sorry, this has nothing to do with me than buying and selling."

Seeing that Han Xiaokang accepted his proposal, Liu Hezuo threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, "Brother Han, I agree with the fare for the bus from Zhenxing District to the county, and the money for eating cold noodles with ice powder this afternoon." half."

"It's just that I haven't given you the money yet."

In order to prove his innocence, Liu Hezuo took out all the money in his pocket and showed it to Han Xiaokang: "Here, I only have about 3 to 40 yuan on me, and now I really dare not touch it.

When I return to Zhenxing Street, I will give you the money at Fatty's Catering Service Agency, and you can pick it up anytime. "

See Han Xiaokang is silent.

Liu Hezuo gave a wry smile, "Originally, the fare for the train ticket and the money for eating cold noodles with ice powder yesterday were less than 1 yuan in total, but I"

"Brother Liu, you don't need to say anything."

Han Xiaokang interrupted the other party, "I know that the money on your body should be prepared to deal with Jiang Yue and Jiang Tao's two brothers.

Judging from the appearance of the two brothers, it is estimated that the situation of their grandfather's family is not very good, otherwise, they would not care about their family's hunger and food. "

Han Xiaokang patted Liu Hezuo's tired shoulder, and comforted him softly, "Oh, there is no way, you are a man, who let you do this kind of thing? Don't avoid things when you encounter problems, pay what you need, pay what you need, and work hard Just do your best. Brother Liu, don't worry, good people will be rewarded!"

"It's good to report a hammer! Forget about the good people I have met in this life, let's not talk about this."

Liu Hezuo turned around and was about to leave, "I don't expect anything in return, it's brother Han who you said just now who called us men. Now that this matter is settled, let's find a way to solve it! Lost If you make a profit, don’t pay for it, it’s nothing, what’s the matter!”

"and many more."

Han Xiaokang stepped forward quickly, and joined forces with Liu, shoulder to shoulder, "I'll go with you!"

Liu Hezuo stopped, "What are you doing? You won't be selling bear skins tomorrow?"

"Not in a hurry."

Han Xiaokang said with a smile, "It's just a bear skin, not a living black bear. It can't run away. I'll go with you, among other things, we still have some strength in us. You pull the cart in front, and I'll run away." Give you a push from behind, it should be fine, right?"

"it is good!"

Liu Hezuo also laughed, very vicissitudes: "It's a man!"
