To be honest, Xunxian Pavilion does pay a lot of money. The wages of the bottom-level guys are only 60 copper coins a day, and the senior guy, Zhao Erhu, earns 20 more than him. And the wages of other types of workers outside are 50 copper coins a day, which is considered high.

In addition, Chen Xiao also works part-time and lives in the store at night to guard the store, which counts as another part, adding up to 100 copper coins a day. With such a high salary, in a prosperous city like the county town, it is possible to support a family of three and live well.

Zhao Erhu said that he spent money lavishly, which was half true but half unfair to Chen Xiao.

Before coming here, Chen Xiao was successful, young and rich. He ate not only delicacies from the mountains and sea, but also simple meals. But here, the food was more than simple meals, it was enough to scratch his throat.

Ordinary people eat roughly processed millet, which has too much fiber. Chen Xiao couldn't eat it after two days. Although TV advocates eating whole grains every day, they can't be as coarse as sandpaper.

After that, Chen Xiao would choose food made from finely processed grains. The price of finely processed grains was two or three times that of ordinary grains.

He didn't just eat once in a while, but learned from the rich people to eat every day. Not only did he eat well, but most importantly, he ate a lot.

Perhaps because he had just recovered from a serious illness and because he was in the growth period, Chen Xiao's appetite was surprisingly good. In addition to three meals a day, he also had afternoon tea and supper. He had to eat, and his stomach would growl with hunger at a certain time. Even the boss who rarely came knew that there was a guy in his store who was particularly good at eating.

Therefore, Chen Xiao’s monthly food and drink expenses would take up more than half of his salary.

Said he used to pick and choose.

He really wasn't being picky. Chen Xiao could survive any hard times. But that was because he was poor and had no source of income. Now, he was paid for his labor, so why shouldn't he treat himself better?

Besides, he didn't know how this life came to him, and who knew when it would be taken back. When he saved the money, he didn't know who to give it to.

His underwear had to be made of fine cotton, not coarse linen; other people's outer cotton jackets had cotton inside, but he not only had cotton inside, but also had someone sew a layer of fine wool inside; the one hot water bottle he was given was not enough, so he bought two more; other people would wash their faces with cold water in the morning, but he made a pot cover for the copper kettle in order to use warm water...

One always feels that this is not a guy, but a delicate lady!

However, Chen Xiao felt aggrieved.

In addition to the fact that he was not used to wearing coarse linen, he sewed fine wool lining and bought two more hot water bottles and made covers for the copper kettle because he was a southerner before, and the county town has a northern climate, which is too cold in winter for him to adapt to.

The original silly boy had lived here for more than ten years. After Chen Xiao came here, he became exactly the same as before he was alive, afraid of cold. This made Chen Xiao confused, not knowing whether it was good or bad.

After Chen Xiao finished eating, he cleaned up the table and went to the area he was responsible for to tidy up the shelves.

The name of the shop, Taxue Xunxian, makes people know that the owner behind it is probably a fan of immortals. Otherwise, how could he have the nerve to hang such a sour name directly as a plaque. Of course, the above remarks are purely his inner complaints, maybe Daiguo's aesthetic style is just like this.

The evidence is that this shop is one of the best-performing antique shops on this street.

The street where the Taxue Xunxian Pavilion is located is very prosperous, not only wide but also very long. Both sides of the street are full of shops, and there are even people setting up stalls on the side of the street. When Chen Xiao walked here for the first time, he thought he was in the antique street of the ancient capital of China.

There weren't too many people on this street on weekdays, and it would only be particularly lively on special days, such as when an immortal sect opened its mountain gate and sent people down to recruit disciples.

During this period, nearby residents would flock to the temple, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, to ask for a gift. They wanted to beautify their reputation, get some fairy spirit, and enhance their luck. This funny side made Chen Xiao feel as if he saw the parents of the candidates going to the temple to burn incense on the eve of the college entrance examination. They didn't ask for results, but for peace of mind.

Only when you actually step into the store will you discover how the antique shops here are different from those in your past.

The shops here not only sell antiques handed down from the country's history, but also things used by ancient immortals that came from who knows where and when.

Here, the real relics of immortals are just like the authentic ones in the antique market during his lifetime. Nine out of ten are half fake, and the remaining half may not be authentic either, perhaps they are high imitations.

Just like the Chinese people who are frantically pursuing historical treasures, the people here also unanimously pursue any items left behind by the immortals.

Anything, really! Chen Xiao even saw bamboo chopsticks and spoons...

The store was filled with dazzling exhibits of various kinds. It was in this dizzying chaos that Chen Xiao discovered something peculiar.

It was a jade ornament. Its luster was somewhat dimmed by time, but it had exquisite patterns on it. Because of its poor quality, the jade ornament was placed among a pile of unremarkable miscellaneous items.

Chen Xiao noticed it because he saw a subtle fluctuation on it. Chen Xiao was very familiar with that fluctuation, it was the aura!

Being able to see the aura was Chen Xiao's special skill that made him a Feng Shui master at such a young age. Not to mention the rigorous training he went through to learn how to see the aura. Just to say how shocked he was to see an item with Feng Shui aura in this other world.

However, the shop was too big to be a customer-oriented shop. The shop assistant saw that Chen Xiao was not well-dressed and was too lazy to serve him. After he asked, he kicked him out with sarcasm.

Chen Xiao didn't bother to get angry with him. He just remembered the name of the store and went to other stores to have a look.

However, not all shops have such antiques with aura. Chen Xiao searched from beginning to end, but only found a few shops with the most antiques. The one with the most antiques was the one he later paid to work for, Taxue Xunxian.

At that time, because he didn't know the mainstream background of this world, Chen Xiao didn't associate anything with the name of the store. After he joined the company, he studied diligently and humbly. He asked around, but couldn't get anything useful out of the mouths of these shopkeepers.

It was only later when the stove owner showed off that this window paper was revealed, which made Chen Xiao speculate that the item with aura was exactly what the immortals left behind.

Chen Xiao suddenly realized.

In his previous life, the items carried by famous monks and Taoist priests would have auras after a long time. But here, it was not surprising that items related to immortals had auras.

It is no wonder that those shop owners are so secretive about it. How could they easily pass on the ability to distinguish which of the myriad ordinary things are used by real immortals to a small clerk like him?

After thinking it through, Chen Xiao was also very excited. With his ability, he didn't need to do anything else. If he sold a real immortal antique every year, he would be able to live a worry-free life.

Not to mention, when he does Feng Shui for others, Feng Shui instruments are the most important component. In this world, he can easily find items with aura by relying on aura as before, which is much easier for him.

However, soon, Chen Xiao fell into depression.

Just when he recovered and walked out of the house he lived in for the first time and looked up at the starry sky, he was stunned as if struck by lightning.

Because the stars in this world are completely different from the world he lived in before his death!

When I accidentally heard people here talking about it, I found out that even the name of the sun is completely different. Here it is called the Sunstar!

Chen Xiao was suddenly confused and frightened.

The geomancy and astrology he learned was one of the bases for determining directions. But now that the astrology was gone, how could he be sure that the east, south, west and north he knew were the correct directions?

You must know that when searching for dragons and points, a slight mistake can lead to a huge error! If you make a mistake, it will not only be ineffective, but it may even bring disaster to the whole area and bring disaster to future generations.

Chen Xiao felt bitter as the knowledge system he had formed after studying for more than ten years collapsed.

Fortunately, he was determined and quickly accepted the changes in reality. He said goodbye to the family who took care of him and went out to find a new way to make a living.

When he discovered that the antiques made by immortals had auras and some could be used as Feng Shui tools, he was happy for a moment, but then felt lonely again.

What can I do?

He didn't dare to try it lightly. Not only would it destroy the feng shui of the place, it would also reduce his own merits and affect his life.

He had been young and reckless, and had made the same mistake once, paying a heavy price. He really didn't dare to take the risk of his second life.

Chen Xiao used a soft fine cloth to gently wipe the exhibits on the table. This shelf was full of sundries, including pen holders, seals, bamboo carvings, wood carvings, ivory and horn tools, etc.

He wiped them one by one, then stopped in the middle and repeatedly wiped a tooth-like object. This was one of the few immortal antiques in the Taxue Xunxian Pavilion.

He had been here for several months, but no one was interested in the ivory card.

Because it was in the area that Chen Xiao was in charge of, he secretly planned to find an antique collector with a vision to recommend the item for sale when he was about to leave, so that he could get a commission to use as travel expenses.

Considering the price he got, the commission he could get must be quite a lot. Whenever Chen Xiao wiped this ivory plate, he treated it as carefully as if it were his meal ticket.

He can spend money, but at the same time, he can also make money.
