Chapter 170: Sister Shaoyao


"I can't afford three to five million, but I can still afford three to five hundred yuan."

Sister Shaoyao picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in some ink, and wrote on the rice paper The word "three" was added.

“Why do you write the word ‘three’?” I asked.

"Whether it's three to five hundred yuan, or three to five million, it's all the beginning of the beginning! If you say that casually, I can only write it casually!" Sister Shaoyao said this Judging from the look on her face as she spoke, it seemed as if she was just joking with me and didn't take me to her heart at all.

"Something long within the short is yin within yang, and something short within the long is yin within yang. Yin within yang is good, and yang within yin is bad." I pointed to the one written by Sister Shaoyao. The horizontal line in the middle of the word "三" says: "The horizontal line in the middle is, on the whole, a little bit longer. This means that Sister Shaoyao, you have had some bad omens recently."

"Not bad." Sister Shaoyao replied with these three words, and then said: "With these few words of yours, it's okay to coax those who don't understand anything. You should be able to fool them, but this is Guquan Old Street. None of the people who hang out here are simple. Just these few sentences have no meaning. "No matter how you say it, you can't fool people with nonsense words."

"Sister Shaoyao, don't worry, the word test is to see people's sincerity." I smiled and used my right thumb. He rubbed it gently on his index and middle fingers, which meant that he had to give money first before he could continue.

“Are you trying to trick me?” Sister Shaoyao asked.

"As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. I opened a store in Guquan Old Street. Sister Shaoyao, this is my first business. If I don't get off to a good start, I will not be able to do anything about this business in the future. I’ve done it. Besides, everyone wants to get a good start, right?” I said with a smile.

Sister Shaoyao didn’t speak any more, but took out three hundred-dollar bills from her wallet and handed them to me.

"When you write three characters, the middle horizontal line is high on the left and low on the right. It looks like a stroke. If it is connected with the horizontal line at the top, it can become a human character. This shows that Sister Shaoyao, you are such a vicious little person. , It’s because of people.” I said.

“I thought you could say something useful after receiving the money, but it turns out it’s still nonsense. It’s not because of people, but because of ghosts?” Sister Shaoyao rolled her eyes at me in disappointment.

"Sister Shaoyao, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

I pointed to the horizontal line in the middle of the word "three" and said: "This horizontal line and the one above and below The distance between the two horizontal lines should be about the same, but the horizontal line you wrote is obviously different from the one above. Yiheng is closer. He is close to the one above and alienated from the one below, so this little evil happened."

After hearing what I said, Sister Shaoyao's interest seemed to be aroused. , she looked at me seriously, asking me to continue talking.

"According to common sense, when there is a dispute between the superior and the subordinate, it is wise to kiss the superior and the inferior." I gently turned the rice paper with my hand, turned the paper 180 degrees, and turned the "three "The word turned around and he said: "But the problem is that the word 'three' you wrote, the top horizontal line, is the same as the last line. The horizontal line at the bottom is almost the same length. Even if the top is facing down, it is still a 'three'. Doesn't this mean that the person above can go down, and the person below can go up?"

"I didn't expect you, kid, to be quite capable!" Sister Shaoyao nodded to me.

"I couldn't decide, so I chose to take sides. If you choose the right side, it's not difficult to turn a bad situation into a good one; if you choose the wrong side, a small misfortune may turn into a catastrophic disaster." I paused and said : "Whether it's right or wrong, you can't tell just by looking at the word 'three'."

"Interesting." Sister Shaoyao said as she took another two hundred yuan from her wallet. Came out and handed it to me.

Sister Shaoyao left. When that girl walked, she twisted her buttocks, and with the cheongsam as a foil, she really looked pretty. I couldn't hold it back, so I took another look.

In addition to admiring the attractive scenery, I also wanted to find out what Sister Shaoyao did, so I kept staring at her. Finally, Sister Shaoyao entered a shop, which was a pawn shop called Sanji Pawn.

The two characters Sanji should come from Liuren. One greed, two giants, and three martial arts are the three auspicious things. The Sanji of Sanji pawn should come from this.

There is more than one pawn shop on Guquan Old Street. In terms of scale, Sanji Pawn Shop is relatively small and its location is relatively remote. My word-testing shop is located at the end of the alley, and Sanji Pawnshop is near the end of the alley.

During the calligraphy test just now, Sister Shaoyao wrote the word "三". I asked her why, and she said that I said three or five hundred, so she wrote it casually. The moment she walked into Sanji's Pawn, it dawned on me. The "three" written by Sister Shaoyao is the "three" of Sanji's pawn.

I must have measured the word "three" correctly. Judging from Sister Shaoyao's behavior, I have roughly guessed that Guquan Old Street is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. Under the calm, there must be uncertainty.

Sister Shaoyao came to me for a calligraphy test today, largely because she wanted to test my skills. Judging from the results of my handwriting test, she must have recognized my ability. If nothing else, I feel like she will pull me into it. In this Guquan Old Street, it is impossible for one person to gain a foothold without forming gangs.

A Three Men Gang. As a newbie here, I don’t mind making a few more friends.

Although I can't read faces, I can still recognize people. Sister Shaoyao can let me call her sister, which means that she can be trusted. From the moment she stepped through the door of the calligraphy shop, I had the idea in my heart that I needed to lend her a little strength to gain a foothold in Guquan Old Street.

Before the official opening today, I made five hundred yuan, which is considered a good fortune.

The next day, I opened the door early in the morning, placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone squarely on the table, and sat upright, waiting for business in the shop.

When it was close to eight o'clock, Sister Shaoyao came, carrying breakfast in her hand, including soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns.

"I saw you didn't go out after opening the door. Have you not had breakfast yet?" Sister Shaoyao asked me.

"No." I said.

"I brought you some. Although today is your first day of business, you can't skip eating!" Sister Shaoyao put the breakfast on the table with a smile and ordered: "Hurry up Eat it while it’s hot.”

Growing up with my master, I didn’t have an older sister. Sister Shaoyao feels a bit like a sister to me!

"Thank you!" I've been hungry since I didn't have breakfast. Being seduced by the breakfast in front of me, I am even more hungry!

"You should call me sister and buy you a breakfast. That's what you should do." Sister Shaoyao helped me insert the straw into the cup, handed me the soy milk, and said, "You are new here. , there are many things to blame when doing business in Guquan Old Street. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me directly.”

“Just because I call you sister, you are so nice to me. ?"I asked.

"There are many people who call me sister, but not everyone will be so kind to them. To be worthy of being like this, you must have real ability." Sister Shaoyao said.

"Direct enough." I looked at Sister Shaoyao with a smile and asked, "Do you want to cooperate with me, or is it simply that you just want to use me?"

"Whether it's utilization or cooperation, it will be helpful for you to gain a foothold in Guquan Old Street." Sister Shaoyao gave me a meaningful look and said: "Guquan Old Street is not another place. I want to win cooperation here. Opportunities, what you said yesterday are not enough."

"What is enough?" I asked.

"First of all, you must have the ability to stand here. If you can't even stand, why should I cooperate with you?"

What Sister Shaoyao said makes me more or less confident. So a little sad. But I know in my heart that just because I call her sister, she is really my sister. Sister Shaoyao brought me breakfast not because she felt sorry for me, but because I still have some use value to her now.

“How can we gain a foothold in Guquan Old Street?” Master has always wanted to open Xinsheng Pavilion to Guquan Old Street, but he didn’t dare to come. Naturally, I knew in my heart that it would not be easy to gain a foothold here. thing. Therefore, I want to ask clearly, how can I gain a foothold here.
