Wu An rose to take his leave.
Old Zhang said, "What's the rush?"
"Have a cup of tea before you go."
After saying that.
I poured myself a cup of tea.
Wu An did not refuse.
After talking for so long, my mouth is indeed a bit dry.
He picked it up and drank it.
It's considered impolite not to drink tea offered by someone.
Moreover, Mr. Zhang is an elderly man.
Setting down his teacup, Wu An stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment."
No need to send it.
"We see things clearly."
Old Zhang still got up and saw him to the door, instructing him, "A'an, make sure to put away the ambergris incense promptly, don't let it get stale."
Wu An nodded, indicating that he understood.
The two of them walked far away.
Looking back, Gu Anran saw that Old Zhang had already returned to the house, and the door was still ajar as before. Gu Anran couldn't help but jump up and down excitedly.
The lingering tremors were intense.
Wu Andao glanced at it.
The ambergris was sold successfully at a good price, and Gu Anran was happy, ignoring Wu An's rude look.
She walked with her arm around Wu An's, her ponytail swaying more cheerfully than before.
As they passed the antique shop they had initially entered, Wu An paused and said, "Let's go in and have a look."
Gu Anran pouted: "What's so interesting about shopping here?"
Wu An chuckled and pushed the door open to go inside.
When the boss saw the two of them return, he smiled and greeted them warmly, "Handsome guy, beautiful lady, you're back!"
"I was wrong before."
"I have carefully reviewed this, and I am certain that I will give you a reasonable price."
He said that, but in his heart he sneered, thinking that 15,000 would be about right.
Getting those people to help isn't free; you have to pay them a kickback.
After a while, they met again.
He can only earn a maximum of ten thousand yuan from this deal.
Thinking about it that way, he felt he had actually lost out.
Why?
Because he could get it for less money and without much effort at the beginning.
I can only blame myself for being too greedy back then.
But it doesn't matter, this fatty meat flew around and eventually ended up in his pot.
Wu An coughed twice.
The boss, being observant and shrewd, quickly ordered tea and water to be served.
Wu An waved his hand and said no need.
But the boss was just too enthusiastic.
Wu An drank two large cups.
The tea at Old Zhang's place is good, but the cups are too small; it's like drinking nothing at all.
That finally quenched my thirst.
Wu An smiled and said, "Boss, the tea is good. Goodbye."
The boss was dumbfounded.
What does that mean?
You came here specifically to drink tea?
The shopkeeper hurriedly asked, "Where's the ambergris?"
Wu An said, "Sold it."
The boss glared: "Since you've already sold it, why are you still here?"
Wu An: "Have some tea."
boss:"……"
Holy crap.
broken.
I guessed right after all.
The boss came to his senses and realized that Wu An had come specifically to annoy him, so he chased after him in anger.
When they went outside, he was nowhere to be found.
"ah!"
The boss stomped his feet on the spot.
The owner of an antique shop nearby heard the commotion and came out to see what was happening. He asked with a smile, "Old Zhang, you've got the ambergris, haven't you? Look how excited you are, this deal is sure to be a big profit."
Someone nearby chimed in, "We've helped you so much, we'll treat you to a feast tonight, to say the least."
Old Zhang was originally distorted.
What a terrible thing!
He cursed, "Get lost, what are you making a fuss about?"
"I've been tricked!"
“That kid sold his ambergris, and one of you stole my share.”
"Don't bite randomly like a dog!"
"We're not as dirty as you."
"..."
Wu An and Gu Anran spent some time enjoying the air conditioning in the supermarket, watched the owner arguing with someone, and then leisurely walked away.
It was a little past five o'clock, and it wasn't dark yet.
It's still early.
Wu An contacted Manager Wang, took a taxi to the shipyard, wandered around aimlessly, and even managed to snag a meal.
This meal wasn't free; Wu An also paid for next month's expenses.
Back at the hotel.
That's all.
...
The next morning.
Wu An vaguely heard his phone ringing; the phone was on the TV cabinet.
I just left it there after I got back yesterday, and haven't played with it since.
get up.
I walked over with some difficulty.
Sure enough, he was still fast asleep. He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Zhang... good morning."
Old Zhang smiled and said, "Ah An, I'm all ready."
Wu An said, "It will probably take us about an hour."
Old Master Zhang said, "Alright, alright, I'm not in a hurry."
We chatted for a couple of minutes and then hung up.
Wu An glanced at the time; it was past nine. No wonder Old Zhang called—it was getting late.
Just as she was about to go back to bed and linger a little longer, Gu Anran had already gotten up, having lifted the covers.
They then went to the restroom.
With a "click," the door was locked from the inside.
Wu An, clutching his lower back, said, "Are you guarding against thieves?"
Gu Anran chuckled: "No, it's to keep out dogs, it's to keep out you, you big perverted dog!"
Wu An: "..."
...
An hour later.
Antique shop.
Wu An and Gu Anran opened the door right on time. When Old Zhang saw them, he greeted them with a smile, "You're right on time."
Wu An said, "I'm sorry to have kept Elder Zhang waiting."
Old Zhang closed the door.
Go sit down at the tea table.
After carefully putting away the ambergris, Wu An asked curiously, "Old Zhang, I've seen some information that exaggerates the benefits of ambergris. Is it really that good?"
Old Zhang smiled and said, "I won't go into the medicinal effects of ambergris, as it's not easy to demonstrate. You can find it online."
"Ambergris is a very good ingredient to showcase."
"Hold on."
Old Zhang took a small knife, cut off a small piece, and then crushed it into powder.
It took some processing, and it was quite tedious and complicated.
But Mr. Zhang's movements were methodical, almost like watching someone brew a traditional Chinese tea ceremony; they were fluid and graceful, quite a sight to behold.
After Elder Zhang finished processing it, he placed it in the incense burner.
A moment later.
Wisps of smoke drifted out, carrying a unique fragrance with them.
Wu An smelled it and nodded, saying, "What they say online isn't just bragging; this fragrance is really quite nice."
Gu Anran said, "It smells so good."
"It smells much better than those perfumes."
Old Zhang said, "It smells nice and has some benefits, but it's not good for pregnant women."
Wu An suddenly realized.
I've noted it down.
Since ambergris is so good, he will definitely keep a piece for himself if he gets another piece in the future.
The amount of ambergris powder that Mr. Zhang used to demonstrate was small, and it burned out quickly, but the fragrance lingered.
Mr. Zhang said, "As long as the windows are not opened for ventilation, the fragrance can last for a long time."
Wu An praised it highly.
Since they spent so much money, it's only right that he gives them some emotional value in return.
The three of them went straight to the bank.
The bank was located in the pedestrian street, not far from the antique alley. After receiving the payment, Mr. Zhang invited Wu An to come back to the shop for a visit.
Wu An declined.
I'll go again next time if there are good items.
He wasn't very interested in antiques. Although antiques could be an investment, for him right now, throwing his money into them would probably result in nothing.
It's more economical to buy a car.
At least it's convenient for getting around.
He is still short of money, as he has many expenses: trawlers, guesthouse projects, and building his own large villa.
But it's not that bad; the main thing is that we can keep the money on hand circulating.
Currently, he doesn't have any urgent expenses; he's just making a steady, gradual increase in income.
Buying a car for convenient transportation is something that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
We exited the pedestrian street.
Wu An hailed a taxi and told the driver to go to the car market.
Gu Anran tugged at Wu An's hand: "Are you really buying a car?"
Wu An smiled and said, "Go take a look, and buy it if it's suitable."
"It's mainly used for transportation."
“We come to the county every few days, so it’s convenient if something comes up.”
Gu Anran remained silent.
He muttered to himself, "Who wants to come every other day?"
After saying that, he pushed away Wu An's mischievous hand.
Sit up straight with your legs taut.
Soon, we arrived at the car city.
