Chapter Fourteen History Books Have Secrets

Taking these hardcover editions back home and displaying them there will look stylish.

"Boss, can you open those history books and take a look?"

"That won't work. These are hardcover editions for collection. I spent a lot of money on them. Even if you accidentally break a corner, I will lose a lot."

"Boss, what you said doesn't make sense. How can we know if there are any problems with those books if we don't read them? What if you fool us?" Cai Cai said unhappily from the side.

"Little girl, you don't know me, Lao Huang, but everyone around me knows who I am. Integrity is what business is all about. I just collected these from an old alley courtyard in the morning.

A scholarly family passed down from generation to generation, it is said that my ancestor was a high-ranking official during the Qing Dynasty."

"It has been passed down to the current generation. The younger generation worships foreigners and is unwilling to come back after studying abroad. In addition, they are the only children in the family, and their parents have passed away one after another. They returned to China a few days ago to sell the old courtyard house. These are all extracted from it.

of."

"The story is more real than the truth. Who would believe it? Hero, let's go."

"Whose girl are you from? Your mouth is too bad." The boss choked and almost became furious.

"Boss, don't be as knowledgeable as her. I'll take another look." Li Mo smiled, his eyes focused, and his eyes suddenly penetrated [History of the Tang Dynasty]. Originally, he just wanted to confirm whether the content inside was fraudulent, but unexpectedly a gray streak appeared

The light is transmitted through, forming eighty or ninety haloes that spread around.

You can find good things here!

Then his eyes moved to other books, and in the "Qing History" book, he saw milky white light shining through, and seventy or eighty haloes shrouding it, which was enough to show that there were valuable treasures hidden in it.

Li Mo withdrew his gaze and said leisurely: "Boss, I have read it. Each hardcover volume has a seal of collection and seal. It is well preserved and should be exactly what you said. You can tell me the price and I will give it a try if it suits you.

Take it home. To tell you the truth, I am a student in the Department of History and Archeology at Peking University and I am very interested in these books."

"No wonder I feel that my little brother is so bookish. He is really a man who has read a lot of poetry and books." The boss smiled broadly and said more enthusiastically, "I spent 1,800 yuan to buy each volume. How can I make a profit?"

Thank you for your hard work. If you really like it, little brother, you can give me an integer of ten thousand from the History of the Five Dynasties."

"Boss, what are you talking about? I have a similar hardcover collector's edition at home. I heard my grandpa say that these are worth two to three thousand."

Before Li Mo had time to counter-offer, Cai Cai used her natural ability to cut in half and then chop again.

"Little girl, if you keep this attitude, I won't do this business. I can't do it at a loss and still be thankless."

The boss waved his hand, a little angry.

Li Mo pulled her, thinking to himself that if you keep doing this, I won't be able to catch you.

"Boss, please give me a sincere price."

The boss looked at Li Mo's serious look, then glanced at the angry Cai Cai a few times, gritted his teeth and said, "I won't sell it, I'd rather sell it to someone who knows the business."

Li Mo saw that what he said was quite courageous, but his eyes kept drifting this way. He knew in his heart that he was retreating in order to advance. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's a pity. There are still relatively few of these hardcover editions on the market. I still have it."

I figured you could get it for a thousand or two thousand cheaper, so I bought it. Cai Cai, let's go back to the bookstore to look for it."

"I said Boss Huang, this young man is a cultural person. Since he likes you so much, just fulfill his wish."

As the two of them were about to leave, the old man setting up a stall next to them began to help them enthusiastically.

"Young man, this boss Huang is quite honest in his business. I think two thousand is a bit cheap. At least he can make some money for cigarettes and alcohol."

Li Mo stopped and said to the boss: "The old man is right, let's do this, I will take away all the eight thousand and five thousand, and I won't explore how much you earn."

The boss said with a cut-off expression on his face: "Little brother, today I will make you my friend."

After Li Mo transferred the money on his mobile phone, he quickly left with the packed books.

"Lao Zhang, I will transfer a thousand yuan to you later." Boss Huang smiled crookedly when he read the text message.

"Boss Huang, you should make at least 80% of this profit. You are so lucky today. You opened the business not long after you arrived."

"How can we wait until such a young boy doesn't take the opportunity to kill him?"

The two looked at each other and laughed evilly. This was not the first time they had performed a double act, but this time it went surprisingly smoothly.

"My hero, are you a heartless person? The vendors in this place are all eating people without spitting out their bones. Look at you, you are so happy to be slaughtered. Are you panicking because of the money you spend?"

"How do you know I have more money?"

Li Mo hummed a little tune. He bought a large travel backpack from a luggage store not far away. It was much easier to put the books in and carry it on his back.

Li Mo was looking forward to the moment when he would reveal the secrets hidden in the history books of the Five Dynasties, and he gradually fell in love with this process of treasure hunting and revealing secrets.

"My hero, since you are stupid and have a lot of money, don't blame me for giving you a big meal at noon."

"Don't worry, the rice will be enough."

Cai Cai rolled her eyes a few times, walked up to him in two steps and asked softly: "Are you really a student of the Department of Archeology at Peking University?"

"It's almost done, don't you believe it?"

Li Mo turned to look at her. The little girl's face was filled with suspicion and she couldn't help but smile and said: "If you don't believe me, I'll throw you away."

She really didn't know how to chat, so Cai Cai rolled her eyes.

The two of them walked forward along the alley, and turned into another avenue in about ten minutes. The architectural style here became retro, with Chinese-style two-story buildings on both sides of the road, and shops on the first floor. Today is a Saturday.

What's more, there are so many people shopping, it feels like you've returned to the City God's Temple in the Magic City.

"Cai Cai, let's go eat first." Li Mo touched his belly and was aroused by the smell of delicious food.



The old roast duck restaurant Cai Cai mentioned is quite high-end, and being able to open near Panjiayuan is a sign of strength.

"Just give us a room for two in the lobby. Let's have some lemonade first, and then bring us the menu for the big dinner."

The waiter guided them to a seat by the window and placed the menu in front of them.

"Let's have a roast duck, use the duck rack to make soup, add a little more salt. Then have a salt and pepper shrimp, Australian dragon fried rice, braised lion's head, tea chicken, egg yolk bread crab, pickled cabbage gold soup fish, and a sweet and sour jellyfish

, it’s not enough to do it first, then add more.”

"The food is a bit too much for you two to eat." The waiter reminded kindly, but hesitated and looked at Li Mo.

"She is a foodie, but that may not be enough."

"You two may not know that some of the dishes are airlifted from abroad, so they are more expensive." The waiter kindly reminded them again that they looked young, so don't eat like a king.

Only then did Li Mo understand. He took out a black gold card from his wallet and handed it to her: "I won't embarrass you."

"Thank you sir, I'll place the order right away."

Having worked in the service industry for a long time, she could tell at a glance that this was a bank's black gold card. A few million dollars could be swiped casually, and a mere few thousand dollars would not even be enough to stuff between the teeth. These two people were definitely the second generation of rich people.

The delicacies were passed on one after another, and the dishes were cooked immediately. While eating, they were still sighing: "There are two things in life that people cannot live up to. One is life, and the other is food. I'm not polite, my hero."

Li Mo's hand was not slow, and the diners next to him looked sideways frequently, fearing that they would fight over it.

Ten minutes after eating, Cai Cai's cell phone rang. She glanced at the call and said, "Comrade Lao Zhu, I'm eating. Don't worry, how can an invincible beautiful girl like me be hungry?"

Don’t worry, I ordered a side of miscellaneous noodles and added a poached egg. Well, you, the old man, also want to eat and drink well. What are you afraid of if you lose your job? You may have to start over again. Okay, bye."

Li Mo watched her eat a lion's head with a forkful of it, his cheeks bulged as he ate, and asked curiously: "This meal of noodles with soybean paste is not cheap, who are you trying to fool?"

"Lao Zhu at home is middle-aged and unemployed, and has been a little depressed recently. I saved the pocket money given to me. If I hadn't met you, I would have had mixed noodles again at noon today."

"What does your dad do?"

"A lawyer, he has been in business for more than ten years and has never made a mark. Some people say that his character is too upright. One is one and two is two. This kind of character is most suitable for legal assistance and is impartial, but it is too tough to use in litigation.

.”

"To put it nicely, it's called integrity, to put it worst, it's a donkey's temper. I took on a case some time ago and offended my employer, which caused a lot of trouble. I had no choice but to resign and be unemployed."

"Everything will be fine." Li Mo poured her a glass of lemonade, "Give me your dad's phone number. Maybe I will consult him on legal matters in the future."

"Call me."

Cai Cai took Li Mo's phone and started operating it.
