Chapter 29: The Mysterious Fat Boss
The shop at the end of the street was simple and deserted, and a middle-aged fat man in a gray robe was huddled in a rocking chair made of bamboo, rocking a rotten fan and squinting at the chair. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Just look at it,"
There was business coming to the door, and the fat boss didn't even bother to open his eyes, shaking the chair by himself, and only these four words popped out of his thick lips.
Looking at the deserted shop and the lazy appearance of the fat boss, Ling Hantian felt that he was afraid that he had come to the wrong place.
However, since they had already come in, Ling Hantian didn't want to give up, and said, "Boss, may I ask if you accept jade pendants here." ”
"Jade Pendant?!"
The fat boss's slightly squinted eyes trembled, and he said lightly: "There are countless shops in Xuancheng this day, but you have found me here, I think the quality of your jade pendant is not very good, right?" It's getting dark now, and you seem to be in a hurry to use the money. ”
Although Ling Hantian didn't agree with the fat boss's previous sentence, the latter sentence was the truth.
"Bring the stuff."
Just when Ling Hantian felt embarrassed, the fat boss stretched out the rotten pu fan, shook it twice, and motioned for Ling Hantian to put the jade pendant on the pu fan.
Ling Hantian was overjoyed, the fat boss was the first person willing to look at his things today, and quickly took out the half of the jade pendant from his arms.
"Half a block?!"
The fat boss was stunned for a moment, narrowed his small eyes, and looked at the half jade pendant on the pu fan.
After a while, the fat boss shook his head and said, "Your jade pendant is of good quality, although it is only half a piece, it can also be worth some gold coins, and the shops in front of you should accept this kind of jade, right?" ”
Hearing the fat boss's words, Ling Hantian was silent, just clasped his hands and pursed his lips.
"Although this jade can be worth some gold coins, I don't accept this jade, you can put it here and sell it on consignment."
"Consignment?!" Ling Hantian was stunned, if it was a consignment, he didn't know when he would be able to sell this jade pendant.
He was in dire need of money now, if he didn't have gold coins, not only would he have no resources for cultivation, but it would also mean that Ling Hantian would have to sleep on the streets tonight.
Just as Ling Hantian was hesitating whether to consign the jade pendant here, suddenly, a powerful perception swept over.
Ling Hantian paused violently, looked back at the outside of the store, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of a desolate beast.
"What a terrible perception, this person's strength is beyond my imagination."
Ling Hantian's heart was fluttering, he really couldn't imagine that he could have any place to attract the attention of such a strong person.
But this perception comes and goes faster as if it had never happened.
The pu fan in the fat boss's hand stopped, squinted his little eyes and glanced outside, and then said, "Xiaoyou, I changed my mind, I will accept your jade pendant." ”
Awakened by the fat boss's words, Ling Hantian turned his head, looked at the fat boss, and after being stunned for a long time, he said with some uncertainty: "Boss, are you sure?" ”
"Of course," the fat boss said with certainty, waving a rotten fan.
Although I don't know why the fat boss changed his mind, since he is willing to accept the jade pendant, then he has gold coins, so he will not sleep on the streets.
But the fat boss's next words suddenly made Ling Hantian's expression freeze.
"But I don't have any gold coins, but I see that you are also a newcomer to Tianxuan City, and it just so happens that I still have a few vacant rooms here, if you don't dislike it, you can live first."
"Your jade pendant should be regarded as paying the rent."
Looking at the fat boss's small eyes that were almost narrowed into a line, Ling Hantian felt that this fat boss looked like a profiteer.
But as the fat boss said, it is simply difficult for him to move an inch in Tianxuan City now, and when he leaves the store, I am afraid that even sleeping on the street is a luxury.
After all, the other party has spent so much energy playing with himself, and there must be other follow-up actions.
Even, the fleeting perception just now gave Ling Hantian a strong sense of crisis, a sense of crisis that his life was completely out of his control.
Thinking of this, Ling Hantian gritted his teeth, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Deal." ”
"Hey, hey!" The fat boss squinted his little eyes and smiled, and with a wave of the rotten pu fan in his hand, the jade pendant slipped into his fat palm.
The fat boss put away the jade pendant and pointed to the small door behind him, "There is a small courtyard in the back, there are a few empty huts, it may be a bit messy, you can pick one to clean it and make do with it." ”
Following the direction pointed by the fat boss, Ling Hantian pushed open the small door, and suddenly a thick dust rushed to his face, choking Ling Hantian and coughing loudly.
Look at the backyard again, it is covered with cobwebs, all kinds of rubble, rotten wood, scrap metal scattered everywhere, and the dust on the corner of the wall is as thick as a thumb.
"What's that, the small shop is a small profit, you can't afford to hire anyone, you can work harder." The fat boss's embarrassed voice sounded behind Ling Hantian.
Half an hour later, Ling Hantian finally finished cleaning up a room, sat on the edge of the bed, and fell into deep thought.
"I can't imagine that I, Ling Hantian, am in this Heavenly Xuancheng, to the point where it is difficult to move an inch, if it weren't for the fat boss to take him in, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a place to stay."
Ling Hantian slowly clasped his hands together, gritted his teeth and said, "Ling Tianyang, Ling Tianyang, do you think this little trick can stump me Ling Hantian?!" Then you are wrong, I, Ling Hantian, not only want to enter the Heavenly Xuanwu Academy, but also pull you down from the altar. ”
