Chapter 503: Sun-Eyed Old Man and Young Man
Chapter 503: Sun-Eyed Old Man and Young Man
Time flies, and finally it is May.
No one in the yard knew that a lot of things would happen at the beginning of this month.
Tonight is the day that Dalong and Li Kailang have agreed upon.
When the time came, Li Kailang went straight to the black market in Beixiao City.
At this time, Dalong and two others were waiting anxiously on the side.
"Da Long, do you think that person will come? We have been waiting for quite a while."
"Yes, but no one else came, leaving us waiting in vain."
Dalong comforted him, "Don't worry, it's only a few hours now. I don't even go out so early when I meet people. Just wait patiently."
Seeing Dalong's calm look, the two felt much more at ease.
However, Dalong was not as calm as he appeared. He knew what he had done and gave a torn secret book.
It was good enough that no one came to beat him, but he was not sure whether they would come.
Dalong looked at the two people beside him and thought to himself, "Since we are here, let's wait a while. If it doesn't work, forget it."
Dalong touched his arms and felt a few hard books. These secret books were collected in the past few days.
Not long after, Li Kailang arrived late and met Dalong and his companions.
"big dragon."
Hearing the familiar voice, Dalong felt relieved and smiled: "You're here."
Li Kailang nodded and glanced at the two people beside Dalong. Seeing that they were touching their chests intentionally or unintentionally, he understood what was going on.
On the other hand, the two men saw that Li Kailang was wearing black clothes, covering himself tightly, and they were secretly on guard.
"There are too many people here, let's talk somewhere else?"
Dalong looked around. Today was Labor Day and it was also the weekend, so there were suddenly a lot more people in the black market.
"Row."
Li Kailang turned and left, taking a step ahead.
Dalong looked at the two people beside him and said, "Let's go too. This is not the place to talk."
"Row."
Then, they came to a sparsely populated place.
Li Kailang got straight to the point: "Stop talking nonsense. Have you brought all the secret books?"
"I brought them all." Dalong nodded.
One of the people beside him said, "Brother, I heard from Dalong that you are willing to exchange food for secret books. Is this true?"
"Really." Li Kailang nodded heavily. "Depending on the quality of the secret book, the amount of food you get in exchange varies. If you don't want food, you can exchange it for something else."
"I have money, gold, medicinal herbs, fruits, and even aphrodisiac waists. It all depends on how powerful your secret book is."
Upon hearing this, their eyes suddenly lit up. This was even better than what Dalong had said at the beginning.
"Really?"
"Children are innocent."
"Take a look at mine. How about this secret book? This is the technique passed down from my ancestors."
In an instant, the man quickly took out the secret book in his arms and put it in front of Li Kailang.
Another person followed closely behind. Seeing this, Dalong also hurriedly took it out, fearing that it was too late and Li Kailang would not want it.
Now, except for the core secrets, everything else is shit.
The situation reversed instantly.
"Don't worry, come one by one!" Li Kailang was very calm, but very excited in his heart.
Dalong was indifferent a few days ago, but today he seemed out of reach.
He picked up a secret book and flipped through it quickly, then returned it after a while.
"How is it?" the person being held asked with a worried look on his face.
"I'll finish reading it first." Li Kailang picked up the next book.
Looking at them one by one, it can be seen that the two men did not trust this transaction and none of the secret books they brought were precious.
Even the big dragon is the same, they are all inferior secrets.
How to tell whether a secret book is powerful or not? It’s very simple. Just look at how thick the secret book is. If it’s a thin book, it shows that it’s not a big thing.
Except for one quite good one, called [Solar Eyes].
What is the solar eye? It is to train the eyes with the help of the sun's rays in order to achieve the golden eyes.
Practice: When the sun first rises in the early morning, stand on a mountain or balcony, look at the sun, and first do some energy gathering, taking nine deep breaths.
Then stand in a horse-riding stance, put your hands on your hips, and stare at the sun without blinking.
Beginners cannot stare for too long and will inevitably blink.
Over time, if you can go without blinking for half an hour, you will have achieved success.
"If I were to train my eyes by looking at the sun, I'd have to be crazy to do that. I don't want to have eyes anymore."
Regardless of whether anyone can practice it or not, Li Kailang can't practice it. His eyes have been transformed by the system and he has already achieved the effect of [Solar Eyes], so there is no need for him to practice.
The three of them were very frightened when they saw that Li Kailang didn't speak for a long time, fearing that he would not want it.
cough cough.
Li Kailang coughed twice and said seriously, "The secret book you two have is not bad. I don't have it, so I'll take it. But at most I can only exchange it for 50 kilograms of food."
"Thank you, thank you brother." The two were immediately delighted. They both knew what the goods were and just took them to test the waters. They didn't expect that they would really accept them.
And they were able to exchange it for 50 kilograms of food, but they thought they could only exchange it for 20 kilograms at most.
"Da Long, among your secret books, only the [Sun Eye] is powerful. But I will take the other secret books as well. All of them are worth 200 kilograms of food."
Hearing this, Dalong felt relieved.
Li Kailang continued: "Tell me, what do you want, food or money?"
"We want food!" the three said in unison.
Dalong added cautiously: "Can you exchange it for some more meat?"
Hearing this, the two men looked at Dalong. When they mentioned meat, they began to salivate. However, that little bit of food was not enough to fill their stomachs, let alone exchange it for meat.
It seems like I need to bring some powerful secrets next time, otherwise it will be difficult to exchange meat.
"Okay, you guys wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Li Kailang turned and left.
As soon as he left, the two men questioned Dalong: "Good for you, Dalong, I didn't expect you to be so evil. Why didn't you tell us when you knew he was so powerful?"
"You're here to make fun of us, so we have to bring these secret manuals here."
"Hey, stop spitting blood at me, you two. I told you at the beginning that it was you two who were incompetent, so I used two rubbish manuals to explore the way, and now you blame me."
After being exposed, the two felt ashamed.
While several people were arguing, Li Kailang took out 270 kilograms of grain and a 2-kilogram piece of bacon and packed them among them.
After waiting for a while, Li Kailang came out pushing a cart, and the three people's eyes lit up.
Li Kailang first took out two bags of 2 kilograms of grain.
"These two 50-jin bags of food are yours. See if they are enough."
The two of them immediately picked it up, felt it, and found that it was indeed enough, so they handed the secret book to Li Kailang.
Afterwards, he gave 170 kilograms of food and bacon to Dalong, and he also gave the secret book to Li Kailang.
"Payment and goods have been paid. Welcome to come again next time. I will come at this time in the evening during the three days of Labor Day. Please introduce me to more places."
"After the deal is done, you can get one fifth of the referral fee based on the total amount of redemptions made by the referrals."
After saying this, Li Kailang was afraid that the two of them might not understand, so he explained it in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
"You two can exchange 50 kilograms of food each. One fifth is 5 kilograms, which means 10 kilograms for two people."
The two nodded, understanding what he meant.
"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Li Kailang immediately pushed the cart away and disappeared from the sight of the three people.
The three of them looked at each other and said nothing, but their silence conveyed something.
The circle is so small. It seems that I have to ask people to exchange food for it when I go back. I can earn the introduction fee this way. 10 kilograms is not much, but it is not a small amount either. If you don’t want the food even if you have it, you are a bastard.
The three of them happily went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.
Li Kailang put away the secret book and turned back to the black market.
It’s Labor Day holiday, so there are a lot of people here today, and you might come across something strange.
After wandering around for a while, Li Kailang didn't gain anything.
"There are quite a lot of people coming here, but there are fewer people setting up stalls."
Seeing that there was nothing there, Li Kailang decided to leave.
Suddenly, a noise was heard.
"Hey, don't chase me away. Let's talk it over."
"Fuck you, you want to fool me with fake goods? You're dreaming. I don't want those things. I have real money!" "Go, go, go, if you don't have money, leave quickly. Don't block my business."
I saw an old man being pushed away by a grain merchant.
The old man was wearing an old jacket and his hair was gray.
But this is not the most important thing. He has a small braid on the back of his head. It is not long, only about the length of a finger.
The only people who still have pigtails now are the old people and the young.
"Okay, okay, God will not let down those who work hard. I finally met you today. I still need to buy food. If I don't take it now, when will I get it?"
Li Kailang has always wanted to do business with the old people and fill his museum with antiques and cultural relics. Now that the person is right in front of him, if not now, when will he seize the opportunity?
"Comrade, comrade." Li Kailang hurried forward to hold him, and asked in a low voice: "Comrade, do you need food? I have it."
Li Kailang, who came up cautiously at the old juncture, had his face covered by a mask and nothing could be seen.
"Young man, you've made a mistake." After saying that, Lao Guantou left.
Li Kailang was stunned for a moment, then he understood what he meant, "Old man, you don't believe me. Let me tell you, if you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to have it again."
"When you want to buy food, you won't be able to find me. I'll sell food to the grain merchant at the end of the alley."
Hearing this, Lao Guantou paused and turned to look at Li Kailang, still with doubt.
"Really?"
"Of course, if you don't believe it, go and see it now."
Lao Guantou thought about it and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."
Sure enough, Lao Bai confirmed that it was Li Kailang and immediately welcomed him warmly.
"Little brother, you are finally here. Are you bringing food? Look how many people want to buy food now. Can you give me more?"
"Don't worry, I know the rules, and I'll give you every cent you deserve."
A lot of people come to buy food. Today is Labor Day, and everyone wants to buy more food, go home and cook a delicious meal to reward themselves.
Now is the time when there is a shortage of food, supply and demand are tight, and food prices have risen slightly to 4 yuan per catty.
Before, the price dropped to more than 3 yuan, and Lao Bai made a lot of money from him steadily. Now that the price has increased, he makes even more money.
The old juncture is here, and you have to show your strength no matter what.
Li Kailang smiled and said, "If you want more, you can, but the price will have to go up accordingly."
Lao Bai rolled his eyes and looked outside, "Okay, everything is easy to talk about."
Seeing that the grain merchant actually agreed to this, Lao Guantou looked at Li Kailang in surprise. He didn't expect that he was such a "genius".
Lao Guantou cursed himself in his heart: "I almost missed the divine man, damn it!"
Suddenly, he smiled, cupped his hands and looked at Li Kailang with his brows lowered: "Little brother, it's my fault that I didn't see the god here. Please don't blame me."
Seeing that Lao Guantou's attitude had changed so much, Li Kailang boldly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay."
"Little brother, do you know what just happened?"
"Okay, okay." Li Kailang said calmly, turning back to look at Lao Bai: "I'll come see you tomorrow."
"Okay!" Lao Bai smiled happily. He didn't care how much increase Li Kailang asked for. Anyway, the money he deserved would not be reduced by a single cent, and he would pass it on to everyone when the time came.
Lao Guantou led Li Kailang and said, "Little brother, come this way. I have a lot of antiques at home. If my family had money, I wouldn't want to sell them."
"I picked all these antiques one by one. They are very precious. If there weren't so many people in my family, I really wouldn't be able to do anything about it."
Along the way, Lao Guantou talked a lot, and Li Kailang nodded from time to time, not caring at all about what he said and not believing it at all.
It is said that antiques are valuable in prosperous times and gold is valuable in troubled times. Now is not a prosperous time, and I still want to keep the gold. I should sell the worthless antiques first in exchange for food.
Along the way, Li Kailang and Lao Guantou chatted for a while, and both sides got to know some news about each other.
Not long after, Lao Guantou brought Li Kailang to a courtyard house.
"Knock knock~" Old Guantou knocked on the door rhythmically, and then the door opened.
The people inside looked at Li Kailang in surprise, and Lao Guantou led him in.
"Little brother, this is my eldest son. We are the only family living in this yard."
The doors of the houses in the courtyard opened one by one, and more than a dozen people came out one after another, ranging from an old grandmother as old as Lao Guantou to children around two or three years old.
In the middle are 8 men and women and several children around ten years old.
More than a dozen pairs of eyes were looking at him cautiously.
"Okay, go back to your rooms." Lao Guantou waved his hand and dismissed everyone.
"Little brother, the antiques are all in the house." He said, gesturing with his hand.
After entering the house, Lao Guantou took out seven or eight antiques that he had been planning to sell.
There are a number of cultural relics with relatively short historical value, such as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, brush washers, and inkstones.
"I have been using this brush washer for a long time. Although it is only a short time old, I like it very much."
Lao Guantou knew these cultural relics like the back of his hand, and described in detail the emotions they contained, how long they had been used, when they were produced, etc.
The most recent ones are produced within the past fifty years, and the oldest are only two hundred years old. They are all of minor fame, but there are not many antique cultural relics.
Listening to Lao Guantou talking tirelessly, Li Kailang was not interested at all. It was still unknown whether it was true or not, and he was not in that circle.
"Okay." Li Kailang picked up the antiques one by one and said, "Tell me, how much food do you plan to exchange for?"
The old man threw the difficult question back: "I'll listen to you about this. How much can I change?"
Li Kailang joked: "I said 100 kilograms, can you accept it?"
"Ah, this." Lao Guantou was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, tell me the truth, how much you want, don't play it safe."
As Li Kailang spoke, he touched the antique calligraphy and paintings to confirm whether they were authentic. The few that had some damage were easy to notice, and they were all genuine.
On the contrary, it is well preserved and it is difficult to tell whether it is real or fake for the time being. We need to go back in time to tell it.
Lao Guan thought for a moment and held up five fingers: "5 kilograms of grain, including 500 kilograms of coarse grains and 450 kilograms of fine grains."
"Okay, this price is acceptable."
Li Kailang agreed without thinking, and he would also pave the way for the first transaction like he did with Dalong.
"Huh~" A stone fell from Lao Guantou's heart.
"Don't be happy too soon. The things must be authentic. If some of them are fake, you'd better think about the consequences." Li Kailang directly took out a gun.
Lao Guantou was so scared that his eyes widened and he quickly hid behind the table.
Li Kailang sneered: "What are you afraid of? I can't shoot. You have so many antiques here. I don't want to kill you."
"What do you want to do?"
"How about we make another deal?"
"What deal?"
"How about you introduce me to someone? The price is negotiable."
It was similar to what Dalong said at the beginning, he asked Lao Guantou to help introduce people to sell antiques, and he would take the agency fee.
Hearing about this good news, Lao Guantou said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll take it."
Then he walked boldly in front of Li Kailang. Since the two of them had a deal, Lao Guantou was not worried that Li Kailang would suddenly kill him.
It just so happened that he knew a lot of old people and young people who had no source of food, so he had this opportunity.
"Okay, I'll bring the food in a bit, you get ready. I only have one request, it has to be real!"
"Don't worry, it's all true."
Li Kailang turned and left. Lao Guantou greeted him and saw him off. As soon as Li Kailang left, he quickly replaced a painting and then burned the one that was replaced.
Not long after, Li Kailang brought 500 kilograms of food to Laoguantou.
Lao Guantou hurriedly asked his children to move the food in, and he handed the packed antiques to Li Kailang.
"Okay, the money and goods have been paid, and I'll leave the matter to you. During the Labor Day holidays, I will come to your house at this time."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll visit someone tomorrow morning and send you an antique."
"Thank you for your help." Li Kailang nodded and pushed the cart away.
Watching Li Kailang walk away, Lao Guantou quickly closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the children wanted to ask questions, Lao Guantou said directly: "Don't ask anything. Tomorrow morning, you guys go back home and sell the antiques you don't want at home to exchange for food."
"Don't spread this matter around. We can earn a commission as an introducer and have a lot of food."
The son and daughter-in-law nodded.
"Okay, let's all go back to bed."
Li Kailang returned home and confirmed that the antiques he received were all genuine.
"I am so happy! If this continues, my private museum will finally be filled up."
Li Kailang specially opened up a piece of land in the planting space to store antiques and toys.
"We should hurry up and buy antiques while the market is still sluggish. Otherwise, we will have to wait until next year."
"Old people, be careful with your wallets."
"Jie Jie"
