Early in the morning, Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi woke up, washed up, and went to the street to buy some buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk to eat.

While eating, Hu Bayi was thinking about his future plans.

"Hey, Fatty, what do you think I should do now?" Hu Bayi said after stuffing the bun in his hand.

"Hey, if you ask me, you'd better not follow me to suffer. Your father was already a division commander before retirement, and enjoyed the treatment of a deputy municipal cadre. You might as well go back and ask your old man to help you through the back door and arrange for you to work in the government, so don't suffer with me." Fatty advised.

Hu Bayi had just retired from the army. It can be said that he had a good family background and a veteran background. In addition, he had his father to help him. It was easy for him to get into the government.

How is it better than going out on your own? It's also stable, easy, and less work.

Hu Bayi knew that Fatty was kind-hearted, but he didn't want to do that, so he patted Fatty's big belly and said, "Hey, Fatty, I'm telling you, if I really want to go to a government unit, I can go anytime, but I don't dare to go!"

"Do you know why? I'm afraid!"

"If I'm free now, my mind is full of those dead comrades. They are all swaying in front of me. When I see them, my intestines are about to break!"

"Right now, I feel like there are comrades swaying in front of me."

"Besides, I see that you are living a good life now, much better than when I was in Kunlun Mountain. There are no vegetables, it's hard to have a cooked meal, the altitude is too high, and the water can't be boiled."

Hu Bayi recalled the hard life in the army in the past, which is nothing now.

Fatty thought, since he couldn't persuade Lao Hu, let him do it with him.

"Well, since you said so, I won't persuade you anymore."

"But I'm not doing business on my own now. I can't do it anymore."

"Last month, I just stopped the tape business. Now, I work as a waiter for Mr. Shen in Qinyuanzhai, Panjiayuan. I'm an apprentice to an antique appreciation master. I make 30 yuan a month. It's much better than selling tapes." The fat man said to Hu Bayi.

"Uh, antiques?" Hu Bayi was stunned.

He originally thought that the fat man was still doing his own business, but he didn't expect that, by such a coincidence, he had changed his career as soon as he came.

"I heard that antique dealers can make a lot of money by selling antiques for three years without opening. They can make a lot of money by selling any one casually." Hu Bayi said.

"Hey, that's true. I'm taking a break today, so I'll just take you to the Panjiayuan Flea Market area to have a look." The fat man said.

"Okay, let's go and have a look later." Hu Bayi nodded.

"Okay."

After they had breakfast, they rested for a while, then walked for a few kilometers and arrived at Panjiayuan.

I saw that this street was full of people buying and selling old things, even old Chairman Mao badges and Red Books.

Like all kinds of bottles and jars, old clocks and pocket watches, piles of copper coins, snuff bottles, all kinds of old furniture, pipes, porcelain, lacquerware, gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, all kinds of jade and all kinds of jewelry...

As long as it is an old object, there is basically everything, which makes Hu Bayi dazzled.

Hu Bayi knew that Fatty had such an ancient jade pendant, which was given to his father by a leader of the Northwest Field Army. It was seized from the bandit leader when a group of bandits were eliminated in Niya Oasis.

Seeing the crowded antique market, Hu Bayi gradually had some ideas in his mind.

When he was a child, his grandfather Hu Guohua told him a lot of knowledge about gold, stone and jade. In this regard, he still has some basics. If he can learn more deeply, he may be able to gain a foothold in this business.

"Fatty, where did the Master Shen you followed come from?" Hu Bayi asked.

"Hey, let me tell you, Master Shen is incredible. Although he has only become famous in the past two years, his pair of sharp eyes are not covered. Basically, no one on this street doesn't know him. Every time he makes a move, he must pick up the real thing." The fat man said with saliva flying.

"It's just that he is a little mysterious now, and he comes to the store less. I wonder what he is studying?"

At this time, the fat man leaned close to Hu Bayi's ear and whispered: "I see that Master Shen's physique must be a martial artist. It is difficult for ordinary seven or eight big men to get close to him."

"Wow~, so powerful?" Hu Bayi was surprised.

"That's right, others can't see it, can I be wrong, Fatty?" said the fat man.

"Well, by the way, Fatty, how is your business?" Hu Bayi asked again.

"Speaking of this,I can tell you, Master Shen is amazing. His store was doing very well originally. Some time ago, Master Shen specially modified the layout of the store. Suddenly, the business became much better. There are many customers coming and going every day. "The fat man said.

Hu Bayi nodded and thought to himself: "It seems that this Master Shen is also proficient in Feng Shui."

After thinking for a while, Hu Bayi asked the fat man: "Fatty, what do you think if I also do antique business?"

"Well, this business is not easy to do. If you have no experience, don't make mistakes and let others cheat you. There is no way to reason with that. No amount of money can fill this hole." The fat man said.

"That's the reason, but you know, my family has a book of sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secrets, which I have already memorized. There are many antiques in it. When I was a child, my grandfather also taught me a lot. I can still remember a lot when I recall it, and then I will learn it again, and it should be about the same. "Hu Bayi said to the fat man.

He dared to say that he was in the antique business, so he had his own confidence.

"Oh, I forgot about you. In this case, why don't you just come with me? I'll ask Mr. Shen later to see if he still needs a buddy. Then, we'll have a companion together." The fat man said.

"Well, that's fine. You can ask for me later. Fatty, thank you." Hu Bayi said, hugging the fat man's shoulders.

"Hey, what's the relationship between us? Do we need to say thank you?" The fat man waved his hand.

"Let's go, let's take a walk here first and broaden our horizons. ”

“Let’s go~”

The two of them had nothing to do, so they just spent the day in Panjiayuan.

Seeing that others could sell an item for hundreds or thousands of dollars, there were still some fools who bought it, which made Hu Bayi feel itchy.

He also made up his mind.

“Fatty, can you help me ask tomorrow?” Hu Bayi said to Fatty.
