D F T F Chapter 132: Antique Street.
"Mom, it's not a matter of waiting more or less. She has made it clear that she wants to release my pigeons," Han Bin shrugged.
"It's not always like that when you're dating a woman now. You watch TV, and it's not like that," Wang Huifang said.
"Mom, do you think this girl is pretty?" Han Bin asked.
"Pretty, it's nice to have a look and a figure."
"Just because she's beautiful, there must be a lot of people chasing her, and has also a lot of people complimenting her, not more than me, not much less than me, don't you think?" Han Bin said with a smile.
"She hasn't met you yet. After meeting, she might like you," Wang Huifang said.
"Just because we haven't seen each other doesn't mean she couldn't get used to my character. You don't want your future daughter-in-law getting on my head." Han Bin smiled.
Wang Huifang pouted: "This is wrong."
Han Bin said solemnly: "A twisted reason is also a reason."
"Let's forget that date, I'm not just talking about you."Just because she's beautiful, there must be a lot of people chasing her, and has also a lot of people complimenting her, not more than me, not much less than me, don't you think?" Wang Huifang said.
"Mom, I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't make a date with her."
"What's up."
"Uncle called me and asked me to follow him to the store."
"Look how busy you are."
"By the way, uncle also said he would come over for dinner later and let you cook something delicious." Han Bin changed the subject.
"What to eat? Am I so stupid? Do you still want to find a wife?" Wang Huifang said and pointed at Han Bin: "Don't change the subject, you must continue to date this girl."
Han Bin showed a wry smile: "I know."
......
The next morning, Han Bin and Wang Qingsheng had breakfast and went to Qingdao Antique Street. Han Bin originally wanted to drive, but Wang Qingsheng didn't agree. At noon, he wanted to take his nephew to eat something good, but now he would like to meet someone, so it would be awkward to let him drive.
Antique Street is in the suburbs, not far from Golden Beach, on one side against the mountains and on the other facing the sea. Tourists are numerous in the vicinity, and a certain flow of passengers can also be ensured. The ancient street is paved with blue bricks, with houses with gray tiles and white walls on both sides. The wooden windows and doors are very beautiful with dragons, paintings, and phoenixes. They look antique and are also a good place to walk around.
The two; Han Bin and his uncle got out of the car and they faced an arch with red pillars and gray tiles. The arch was written in a very large gold Antique Street typeface. It wasn't Han Bin's first time here, and he's no stranger to this place, but he's been busy ever since he started working at the criminal's branch, so he rarely has time to run around here.
"It was renovated some time ago, and it's even more beautiful than before." Wang Qingsheng introduced while walking: "Don't you know the current booth fee has also increased. In terms of square meters, it is similar to the store's rent."
"It is estimated that it was a street stall that affected the business of shops, and people reacted to the market," Han Bin guessed.
"It's not a day or two for shops, and it would have been affected a long time ago. Anyway, it still breaks the rules," sighed Wang Qingsheng.
“The price of the booth has gone up, so you decided to open a shop?” Han Bin asked.
"Isn't it good? As soon as I thought about the unit price of rent, the shop is bigger and had more goods, and it seemed to be of better quality. If I could have more money, I grit my teeth and will rent a shop,” Wang Qingsheng said.
"Uncle, there should be vacant shops in this ancient street. Why don't you rent directly from the market, but take over the shops transferred by others," Han Bin wondered.
“In this antique street, there are indeed a few vacant shops, but the locations of these shops are relatively biased. Good shops have been rented for a long time. The transferred shops have a better location, and everything is ready. If you need it, you can buy it at a discount, and no one will suffer,” Wang Qingsheng explained, pointing not far ahead:
"Look, the one with the 'Jade Treasure Hall' plaque on it, ahead of us to the east."
There are three doors at the entrance to the 'Jade Treasure Hall', all of which are open. From the street, you can see two rows of shelves, containing all sorts of antique things.
Wang Qingsheng and Han Bin walked into the antique store, and a middle-aged man in his 40s greeted them: "Yo, Boss Wang is here, welcome."
"Boss Zhou," Wang Qingsheng greeted.
"Come in, you two rest for a while, and I'll make a teapot for you two," Boss Zhou said excitedly.
"Don't bother, we're not thirsty," Wang Qingsheng said.
"Look what you said, it's all there, and it won't even take my saliva to swallow."
After Boss Zhou finished talking, he went to the back to boil some water. Han Bin looked around and said.
"Why are only these two shelves full of merchandise, and the other shelves are empty."
"Is not about to be transferred, naturally there will be no more purchases."
While Wang Qingsheng was talking, he picked up a jade bowl, patted it, looked at the color, and then put it back with a smile.
"Uncle, is it true or false?" Han Bin asked.
"Hard to say."
"What do you mean?"
"When you come back, I will teach you the rules of the entertainment industry," Wang Qingsheng said.
"Why am I learning this? It's useless." Han Bin spread his hands and did not close them.
"It's useless? You need to know everything," Wang Qingsheng reached out his right hand and pointed to the bracelet Han Bin was wearing:
"Just wear a bracelet anywhere for you. I asked someone about it, so it should be worn on the left hand."
"I thought it was, for a man on the left and for a woman on the right," Han Bin smiled.
"It's not the same thing." Wang Qingsheng waved his hand and continued: "Remember, don't wear bracelets on both hands at the same time."
"Why?" Han Bin wondered.
"What are you doing, you have no point in your heart?" Wang Qingsheng reached out and patted Han Bin's lower back: "It looks like a pair of dangling handcuffs."
"It's interesting," Han Bin smiled.
"Your Buddhist bead bracelet; remember when you wear it in the future. The pagoda should be facing up to show respect for the Buddha. If it is facing down, it will lose its function of protecting the body by Buddha and warding off evil spirits." Wang Qingsheng urged.
Han Bin nodded. Although he didn't believe in such things very much, there were rules for every word and every line, just like using a goblet to drink red wine, they were all unwritten rules. Of course, if you really like drinking tea from a bowl, that's your freedom too.
When Wang Qingsheng was about to say something, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a young man and woman walked in, looking like a young couple in their twenties. Boss Zhou seemed to hear the movement and ran from behind: "What do you two want?"
"Look," said the man.
The woman looked around and frowned: “Boss, your store is empty, how come you only have these two shelves.”
"It's because the small store has good deals and sells out quickly. If you arrive a little later, those two shelves will be empty," Boss Zhou said with a smile.
"Are you speaking the truth?"
"I'm telling the truth. The little store is ready to sell out. Everything is cheaper than other stores. Naturally, there are more people who will buy them. You're both right, and it's definitely not a loss if you buy them." Boss Zhou said solemnly.
The woman walked around the shelf, picked up the jade bowl that Wang Qingsheng had seen, played with it, and asked:
“Boss, how much is this jade bowl?”
