Chapter 896 Shop No. 83
Saturday, August 26th.
It’s the thirteenth day that summer vacation officially begins.
Zhuo Yi was in an unusually good mood that day because he received an invitation from his cheap master Wang Ling to go with them to the flower and bird market from more than ten years ago to look for clues about the scabbard.
Regarding the person who sold the scabbards back then, Wang Ling had already investigated almost everything. There were stall numbers in the flower and bird market, and the shop that sold the swords back then was still in business.
Zhuo Yi drove there with Wang Ling. As soon as they entered the old shop, they saw a banner of 'Ten Years Gold Medal Store' hanging at the door. The flower and bird market has gone through many changes in the past ten years. How can this shop survive in the past ten years? If it has not failed for ten years, it can be regarded as having its own abilities.
Wang Ling followed behind Zhuo Yi. He was wearing a hooded blue sportswear. He put his hands in his pockets expressionlessly and looked unhappy. But in fact, this was his normal state, and Zhuo Yi had long been used to it.
The method to identify whether your master is angry is also very simple, just look at whether the dead fish eyes have shrunk. If the pupils shrink, it means you are angry... If you want to relieve anger, you should prepare dry noodles at this time. For every micron of shrinkage, you can use a pack of dry noodles to dissolve it.
It won't work if you give too little, but it will be easy to drift away if you give too much...
Zhuo Yi felt that only he could restore his pupils to normal levels.
"Is the boss here?" Zhuo Oi was still wearing his usual work uniform, looking like an elite.
"Welcome, you two. Let's see what you want to buy? Our boss has just gone out for shopping and will be back in a minute. I'm here, Ling Huan." The person hosting the reception was the shop's clerk. Zhuo Yi and Wang Ling were the first people in their shop today. Customer, Ling Huan smiled happily.
Wang Ling scanned the environment of the store and found that it was a shop that specialized in selling magic exorcism devices. There were various kinds of magic exorcism devices on the walls and in the cabinets.
Wang Ling still remembered that at the beginning of school, Teacher Pan taught them the basic skills of summoning and removing spirits in Teacher Pan's Fuzhuan class. But in fact, whether it is summoning spirits or removing spirits, what they have learned is only superficial.
In Jindan University, there is a special exorcism major, where summoning spirits and removing spirits are both professional courses.
"We are a long-established shop in this flower and bird market. We specialize in exorcism and are very honest. Let me give you a brief introduction!"
The store clerk Ling Huan was very enthusiastic. He pointed to the counter at the front: "Have you guys seen the mahogany sword, yellow talisman, wooden fish and candles in this glass counter? This is the royal weapon of Mr. Zhengying, the king of corpse exorcism in the past. These items were also bought in our store! Although they are now obsolete, our store still recycles them at a high price and keeps them here as treasures.”
"Sell it?" Zhuo Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Not for sale."
Ling Huan shook his head righteously: "The treasures of the store are not for sale."
"Ten million." Zhuo Yi raised a finger.
Ling Huan took a deep breath: "WeChat... or Alipay?"
Wang Ling: "..."
Zhuo Yi: "Where is your moral integrity?"
Ling Huan sighed and said with resentment: "These days we are all just trying to make a living, how can we survive if we have to be moral?"
"Besides the boss, are you the only one in your store?" Zhuo Yi asked. He couldn't bear to dampen the enthusiasm of the clerk, so he took out a tip of 500 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Ling Huan's pocket.
Ling Huan's enthusiasm was ignited again, and his tone changed: "Hahaha! It's true that I'm the only one, I just show the shop to the boss. But I've been working for a long time! I'm the only boss. Our bosses are quite different I’m busy, and I also have to do exorcism work.”
Zhuo Yi nodded and took out Jingke's photo from his pocket: "Have you seen this peach wood sword? I bought it from your store ten years ago."
Ling Huan's expression suddenly became serious: "Ten years... this is already out of warranty. Our store has unified regulations that products cannot be returned after 10 minutes of sale! If it is due to accidental damage, a certificate must be issued! Proof that it was accidental damage !”
"..." Wang Ling and Zhuo Yi took a breath at the same time.
Profiteer!
Zhuo Yi: "I'm not here to return a product, I just want to ask about the origin of this mahogany sword, since it was sold by your family. Do you know the origin of this sword? Because when I bought it back, this sword didn't have it. Scabbard, we want to find clues about the scabbard.”
"Is that so?"
Ling Huan breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately frowned: "Ten years ago, our family didn't have the habit of serializing products. In the past, all purchases and sales were made by hand. Ten years ago... a mahogany sword like yours It’s a hot-selling product for exorcism! At that time, Mr. Zhengying started a trend of peach wood swords, and a good peach wood sword could fetch a sky-high price in the market.”
"Is the manuscript still there? I want to check it," Zhuo Yi said.
"Unfortunately, there was a fire in our shop five years ago, and all the handwritten purchase orders were burned."
Ling Huan spread his hands and took a closer look at the photo provided by Zhuo Yi: "However, although the peach wood sword is old in style, we should still have it in our old warehouse. If you want it, I can look for it. "
"998?" Zhuo Yi asked.
"That was the price ten years ago."
Ling Huan said: "Now it's 9 yuan and 9 cents a handful."
Wang Ling: "..."
Zhuo Yi: "..."
Ling Huan: "After the Taomu Sword was eliminated, it is now a preschool education toy. It is basically sold to kindergartens as early childhood education products. It is used to cultivate interest in the spirit sword for children in the middle and upper classes of kindergartens."
Just as Ling Huan was explaining the situation, a middle-aged man with a mushroom-like head stepped into the store. The man was very tall and stood up like a giant bear. The shadow he cast directly covered Wang Ling.
"Boss." Ling Huan greeted the huge shadow.
Seeing the boss return, Zhuo Yi was about to ask about the boss's situation, but the boss's expression changed drastically after seeing Zhuo Yi: "Fuck! Cop!"
Zhuo Yi: "???"
Wang Ling: "..."
Then, the boss waved his big arm like a steel cannon and punched Zhuo Yi in the face.
Do you want help?
Wang Ling stared at Zhuo Yi and said in a faint voice.
"How can Master do this for such a small matter..." Zhuo Yi snorted and took a bow step. The tendons and veins on his body vibrated like earthworms. The spiritual energy flow burst out from his body and condensed into a...huge raccoon in the void!
"The raccoon licks the dog with the infinite fist!"
The raccoon made of spiritual energy stretched out its tongue and blocked the boss's fist with its tongue.
Wang Ling stared at the raccoon in a trance and couldn't help but applaud... This set of self-created boxing was really wonderful!
