Chapter 141: Retreat
As the saying goes, a penny is not enough to make a hero. Before, Lao Hu and Fatty looked at many shops in Panjiayuan, and there were a few that they liked, but the rent was too expensive, so they had no choice but to give up.
Now that they have money, it’s not the stores that choose them, but them that choose the stores.
Lao Hu and Fatty were chatting there.
"Lao Wang, which one do you think is better to rent?" Lao Hu and Fatty discussed for a long time but failed to come up with a reason. Seeing the old-fashioned look on his face while drinking tea, Wang asked.
"I think..." Wang Ye said after taking a sip of tea, "We don't need to rent a shop first."
"Um...Old Wang, what do you mean by this?" the fat man asked.
Wang Ye took a sip of tea and said: "The antiques industry is in a deep state. None of us know anything about antiques. The risk of opening a store is too high, so I think we should set up a street stall in Panjiayuan first to practice our eyesight and lay a solid foundation.
By the way, learn the knowledge of antique appraisal."
"Indeed." Lao Hu nodded and said, "There is no need to open a store now. We should still start small and learn by doing."
"Then let's go find the Big Gold Tooth right now." The fat man had the temperament to do whatever he said, so he immediately went to find the Big Gold Tooth.
Wang Ye and Lao Hu drank the tea in one breath, and then went to find the big golden tooth.
Da Jinya still has some respect in Panjiayuan? He knows a lot of people, so he found someone to take care of the stall issue. In order to thank Da Jinya for his help, he hosted a banquet for Da Jinya in Donglaishun in the evening.
After returning to the courtyard, Wang threw the two drunken guys on the bed, then returned to his room, took a sip of medicinal wine, and began to practice.
Now he has opened eleven meridians, and the twelve main meridians are missing the last foot-shaoyin kidney meridian, but the speed of opening this meridian is a bit slow.
"It seems that if you want to improve quickly, you can only rely on the crystals dropped from the Kunlun Divine Tree." Wang also stopped practicing, took out the green crystal he had obtained before, and looked at it carefully.
After being back for so many days, he also figured out the function of the crystals in his hands, which were similar to elixirs. The energy in the crystals could assist people in their cultivation.
Originally, he planned to practice in seclusion for a period of time after returning this time, but now Lao Hu and Fatty are also busy setting up a stall, so they don't need his help.
However, if you want to retreat, you still have to find a place with beautiful scenery. This city is too noisy. If you are disturbed at the critical moment of breakthrough, it will not be good.
The next day, after saying hello to Lao Hu and Fatty, he left the Siheyuan with his Wushuang Sword Box and luggage and headed towards Yuquan Mountain in Haidian District of the capital.
Yuquan Mountain is shaped like a saddle and runs northwest. It is named after the spring water with "clear and blue water, as clear as jade". Because Yuquan Mountain is surrounded by mountains and water, emperors have built here since the Liao and Jin Dynasties.
Officials go to the office to spend the summer.
As soon as he arrived here, the fresh air made people feel relaxed and happy. Wang Ye felt that the innate skills in his body were running much smoother. He immediately used the Golden Goose Skill under his feet, and the whole person walked as fast as flying, like a baby swallow returning to its nest, and plunged into the primeval forest.
’s woods.
Flying across the forest, Wang Ye searched for a suitable place for retreat, and finally found a hidden cave with a stream nearby. He was planning to retreat inside.
Clean the cave to avoid poisonous insects and other things, then sprinkle some insect repellent medicine bought from a Chinese medicine store, and then put the things you brought in place, after all, you have to live here for a while.
After such busy work, it’s evening.
Wang also took out the leg of lamb he had brought before, made a simple rack with branches, and started roasting it.
On the first day, Wang did not practice, but took an early rest. The next day, he got up very early and practiced swordsmanship with the chirping of insects and birds, and then began to practice.
Wang Ye took out a wine flask filled with medicinal wine, took a sip and began to practice.
There wasn't much medicinal wine left, so he planned to use up the last part of the medicinal wine, see how many acupoints had been opened, and then use the crystals.
In this way, Wang also started practicing, practicing swordsmanship, boxing, and Qinggong every morning, and then began to open up the meridians.
Wang Ye's training schedule is full, and Lao Hu and Fatty don't rest every day, setting up stalls in Panjiayuan every day.
The characteristic of Panjiayuan is that it has a mixture of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, large and small, with all kinds of gadgets available, but very valuable artifacts are relatively rare, and they are traded privately and rarely sold on the market.
As soon as the two of them received Da Jinya's guidance, they collected some small items such as pots, bowls, pots, snuff bottles, and old pocket watches that had been cleared in the suburbs, and took them back to sell them in the antique market.
Maybe the two of them were not destined to do business in this life, and their vision was not correct. When collecting things, they took the worthless things as treasures, and when they took the more valuable things, they were not allowed to sell them as ordinary objects.
, I haven’t made much money, but I have lost a lot.
Fortunately, Lao Hu and Fatty didn't spend too much money on these gadgets when they collected them. It doesn't matter if they lose some money. The main thing is to practice their eyesight and gain knowledge.
Lao Hu and Fatty have indeed learned a lot during this time, and they also know that there are too many and deep things in the antique industry, even more complicated than Feng Shui, and cannot be learned overnight.
By the way, it was almost noon that day, and the Pan's Antique Market seemed a little deserted without too many people. Lao Hu, Fatty and Big Gold Tooth gathered around and beat each other fast.
