Chapter 492 Can't Stop
After Bai Meixi rested for a while, she returned to the entrance of the train station. It was very cold tonight and many people had already gone back. Only she and the old woman selling corn were left standing next to each other.

"Girl, you're finally back. I froze to death just now, and I almost want to go back." The old woman selling corns clung to Bai Meixi's side. Her small stove didn't work at all, and the heat it gave off was only It's just to ensure that she won't freeze to death. It's not as warm as when she was next to Bai Meixi.

Now when he saw Bai Meixi coming over with several tin buckets filled with charcoal fire, he immediately went over to warm himself up and drank two bowls of spicy soup before he recovered.

"It's really too cold tonight. Let's go back as soon as the sales are finished." After Bai Meixi came out of the space, she felt that the temperature had dropped several degrees. She was worried about the old woman's health, so she took the initiative to suggest that she go back early.

"It depends on how good the business is. The long-distance bus is about to pull into the station." The old woman was very alert. There was no exaggeration in her words. There were many customers on this long-distance bus. In order to save one For the night's rent, they would stay at the train station until six o'clock the next morning and take the earliest bus to leave.

This situation left an excellent opportunity for Bai Meixi. She and her old lady's business was very good. At two o'clock in the evening, everything was sold out. Bai Meixi summarized her income. Today she sold a total of With 450 servings of fast food, the profit earned is close to 300 yuan. Plus the profit from selling breakfast later, it is estimated that there will be no problem in making 400 yuan today.

With this money, Bai Meixi's confidence increased again. She slept in the space for two or three hours and continued to sell tea eggs and millet porridge at the train station. This breakfast combination was very popular at the train station. She had sold out all her breakfasts before, and her income had reached her goal.

She took the money and went to the vegetable market to purchase eggs, vegetables and meat. Now her daily consumption is increasing. People in the vegetable market are already very familiar with her, especially those who carry their own agricultural products. The fellow sellers regard Bai Meixi as a big customer. Every time she appears, she will buy everything in their hands, which saves them from standing in the cold wind for several hours.

After Bai Meixi prepared her things, she returned to the space to rest. She didn't leave for Beihai Park until five o'clock in the afternoon. After having money in her pocket, she had a particularly solid sleep. She was in high spirits. Even she stayed up late the night before. The dark circles under my eyes are gone too.

Xu Yimao had been waiting in Beihai Park for a long time. He also rode a bicycle today. After seeing Bai Meixi, he rushed to Dazaoshu Alley with her. Bai Meixi felt that Xu Yimao was isolating her from other people. I don’t want others to take away the business.

"Is this the home of Mr. Liang?" Bai Meixi saw an antique courtyard house. To have such a courtyard near the second ring road of the capital, it must be a wealthy family.

Moreover, the yard is well-kept and full of vitality. Even in winter, the fragrance of flowers blooms. Those plum blossoms bloom earlier than other places. Bai Meixi walked closer and took a look and discovered the clues. This family wanted to To make the plum blossoms bloom in advance, a fire pot was placed under the tree, and the heat was used to catalyze the plum blossoms to bloom, resulting in the scenery of pine and plum blossoms in front of us.

Bai Meixi felt a little strange. Pines and cypresses are evergreen plants. Since plum blossoms will bloom sooner or later, why do they need to use poison to quench their thirst.

"Xiao Bai, let's go in directly. Mr. Liang has bad ears. He said that as long as he sees the door open, he can go in directly." Xu Yimao entered the yard directly. He took Bai Meixi to the door of the main house. He shouted outside the door curtain, "Mr. Liang, I brought the stamp buyer." Xu Yimao's voice was very excited. Mr. Liang had said before that he would sell the stamps to anyone who could help him sell them. Who to accept as a disciple?This is a huge temptation for all stamp collectors.

Mr. Liang is different from ordinary stamp collectors. His ancestor worked as an accountant in the customs of the Qing government. He has some ancestral things at home. His ancestors were also influenced by the British and liked to collect stamps. After several generations of collecting, the collection is very rich. Fu Fu is one of the top experts in the circle. If you are lucky enough to become his apprentice, Xu Yimao's status in the circle will also rise in the future.

"Come in, it's warm in the house." Mr. Liang responded from inside, opening the curtain to let Bai Meixi and Xu Yimao in.

Mr. Liang's home is also antique, and the various utensils, calligraphy and paintings are very exquisite. Bai Meixi was attracted by the things on the wall as soon as she walked in. There are not many people in this era who can live their lives with such taste.

Mr. Liang's appearance is similar to what Bai Meixi imagined. He looks like a child with white hair and a kind smile on his face. His whole body exudes the smell of immortality. Such a person would actually bend down for five buckets of rice. , which really makes Bai Meixi feel sad.

"Why does Mr. Liang sell dragon stamps? Those stamps are very rare." Bai Meixi directly raised her question, not wanting to take advantage of others. Sure enough, there was something else going on.

"I am doing it for my grandson, otherwise I would not be willing to sell such a good thing." Mr. Liang sighed softly. He has lived a very leisurely life since his retirement. In addition to collecting stamps, he also takes care of the flowers and plants in the yard. His life Not too bad.

But his family was not very happy. His wife died young, his only son also died in the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, and he only had a granddaughter to take care of him.

The only male in the family is his grandson, who has just turned 28. He went to Beidahuang to work as an educated youth and suffered a lot. Mr. Liang tried to transfer him back several times through connections, but because his ancestors worked for the Qing government As time goes by, Mr. Liang gave up and could only let his grandson wander around outside.

His grandson has long passed the age of getting married and starting a family, but because of his background, he has never been able to find a suitable home and has no serious job. He recently changed jobs locally and worked in a factory, and found a girl who is willing to live with him. .

He planned to get married and settle down locally, marry a wife and have children, but his working hours were too short and he couldn't get a house at all, and he married the daughter of a local farmer. Life at home was very difficult, and he needed a lot of money to settle down in the county. , Mr. Liang didn't have that much cash in his hand, so he could only sell a set of Dalong tickets that he had collected for many years, so that his grandson could buy a house locally and get married, live a stable life, and comfort his son's spirit in heaven.
