As a city built by a coal-steel federation with a strong commercial atmosphere, the business district of Black Yancheng is naturally located in the best part of the city – the Upper East Side, which is far from the production area and in a downwind position. The business district of Black Yancheng is very prosperous. A few commodity exchanges, which have been so intimidating for ordinary people, have been set up in downtown areas, the rich coal and steel production of the city of the black city supports the flourishing of the town, and every day from morning to night it seems that a train of 24 hours a day has a list of these specialties from the black city to the outside.
Zhang Tie's small grocery store, which is located in the bustling commercial district of the black city, but with those large merchants ' corps, free trade, the exchange of the magnificent façade and the station compared to the Zhang Tie, the location of the shop is far more remote, but also more market, from the store less than 300 meters in place, is the train station in the city of black. Exchanges are some of the people characters, the store itself tightly next to a local residents and those outside the spontaneous formation of the pioneer of the flea market, every day people coming and going is quite lively, but from the dress to know that every day in this area, mostly in the middle and lower part of the small, Support these little people here to hang around the reason, in addition to the physiological motivation of filling belly, there is the legend has not known how many years have never been examined, such as streets of some of the boss of a stall that day received a big thing from the rise of such a fairy tale. It’s these fairy tales that support many ordinary people who are mingling in this neighborhood day after year, and also support a group of pioneers who have come from afar and have a lot of enthusiasm. The unknown land on the west and north of Heiyan City. Of course, if you have enough luck and vision, it is possible to find some good things here.
When Zhang Tie came to the grocery store, the grocery store owner Dezong The fat body curled up on the couch in front of the shop, Dezong while enjoying the afterglow of the sunset, half open eyes, indifferent to look at the streets of the crowd, only some of the plump or beautiful woman from the grocery door passing by, Dezong the fat fish head will slightly rotate, stare at those women's body out of a good freshman.
As usual, the first thing Zhang Tie came to the grocery store was to clean the shop first, then the inventory of containers and counters, and then the "Pop" of the Abacus, remember the account, here for a year, Zhang Tie feel his biggest harvest, is learned how to use the kind of strange math tools called Abacus , this is a very practical skill that has not been taught in school, but Zhang Tie that this skill should help his future work-his father has been figuring out how to find himself a bookkeeper at the coal Exchange in the city of Black, which, of course, will not be considered until after he has finished his military service. For ordinary ordinary people, after serving in military service, they can have a job in the city. No matter what they do, as long as they can fill their stomachs, it is already very good.
Just finished the account, the shop came to the guest, Tang De that fat pig-like body is still lying in the chair did not get up, Zhang Tie closed the account book, began to greet.
"Excuse me, what do you want to buy?"The newcomer is in his 40s, and he is still wearing the overalls of the railway station loader in Heiyan City. The whole person still carries a coal ash smell and estimates the time. At this time, the factory in the city should be off work. This person estimates It’s time to come by after work.
"I want to see white crystal!"The more than 40-Year-old railway station loader, while talking, glanced at the boxes of crystals behind the counter, those boxes, all kinds of crystal dazzling, but most of them are ordinary one product crystal, there are a few two crystal, in all crystals, white crystal is the most, there are natural, but also some workers, the same size and fineness of the crystal, A double head is more expensive than a single head, natural than artificial more expensive, artificial look good color to some, but the effect, but there is no natural, I heard that before Cataclysm, crystal the biggest role is only decorations, it helps the function and secret of human practice is not known to the public, and now, This is already even the street stall of the aunt know things. The crystal of this era is a standard strategic material and one of the sources of confidence that human beings have survived in this era.
"Is there only these?"The 40-year-old man’s face was slightly disappointing. It seems that the ordinary goods in the counter can’t satisfy him. The man’s expression is slightly out of the expectation of Zhang Tie. Even if it’s these ordinary crystals, The price is not cheap for ordinary people.
“There is a better store in the store, but the price is more expensive. Do you want to see it?”
A smile on the face of the man, with a pat on the waist, Zhang Tie no longer speak, wearing a pair of white gloves, turned from the back of the container drawer to take out a more exquisite box, carefully placed on the counter, in front of the man's face opened, the box is also four white crystal, two double head crystal, two single head crystal , the color is crystal clear, only a few impurities, but most eye-catching, it is the four crystal inside, there is a layer of sand-like hazy shadow, impressively presents a pyramid shape, which is the best of the largest double head of the pyramid inside the crystal, carefully look at the time, crystal inside the pyramid of each side , are shining a kind of inexplicable brilliance-this is the uncanny workmanship between heaven and earth, is the natural convergence of energy between the universe. The greatest effect of the white pyramid crystal is not only to quickly help the user to enter the state of meditation, but also to calm down the mind, and let the user use the power of the pyramid in the crystal to absorb the energy of the universe and stimulate the potential of the body. With vitality.
Sure enough, the more than 40-year-old man's eyes when he saw the pyramid crystal of the time suddenly can not move away, and the original Zhang Tie in see these several crystal expression almost, these several three products of the white crystal, is already this small grocery store can find the most high-grade goods, each price, in two gold above, and in the black city, A gold coin can buy enough food for an ordinary three mouth to open between the belly of life for two months.
The label under each crystal in the box indicates the price. The man saw the price, but hesitated to finger a single-headed crystal and asked Zhang Tie, "This…Can you be cheaper! ”
"218 silver, this price is already very low, the things in our store are clearly priced, take the liberty to ask, do you want to give this to buy this?
"Well, my son is 16 years old tomorrow, I want to give him a surprise, my son is a genius!"Speaking of this, the 40-year-old man smiled, and there was a lot of warmth and pride on the face with the residue of coal ash. The smile on the man's face made Zhang Tie think of his father.
"This way, that 215 silver, I will send you a box, and two or two crystal sand. This is the lowest price and discount we can give you…"Zhang Tiecheng said with sorrow, this is indeed the bottom line of the deal given in the store. The 40-year-old loader probably also inquired about the situation and word of mouth of this grocery store. Maybe it was introduced by a friend. This price is also very fair in Heiyan City. Then I heard that there is a box and a crystal sand gift. I promised it.
The man carefully rummaged the purse from his garment, after paying two coins and 15 silver coins, take the Zhang Tie packaged things and the gift of the crystal sand away, two gold coins above the business, in the shop is also considered a big deal, perhaps the store today's luck ran out, after the man walked one hours, There was no business in the grocery store except for the two of people who wandered in.
Zhang Tie sat behind the counter, holding his chin with his hands, looking at the street outside, thinking about what happened today, and staying ……
The sun finally fell down the mountain, and the darkness outside was dark. The dead fish sitting on the lounge chair finally moved, twisted and twisted, and reluctantly stood up and moved the chair back into the store.
"What, is it today?"
The scar on Zhang Tie’s face made the owner of the grocery store laugh and laugh.
"No, it fell!"Zhang iron mouth hard road.
"Okay, kid, don't pretend, this is so shameful. When I was so big, when I didn't play three or five, or swear, or be stunned, it would be normal, and lost." The scene, come back!"The grocery store owner said awkwardly.
Zhang Tie’s thoughts at the moment are all the scenes that he saw today as being seen by Teacher Dina. When he heard Tang De saying this, he only said helplessly, “What if the venue can’t find it again?”
"Boy, so that you are still tender, where there is no return to the place, only afraid to win the fools and losers, if the other side than you, then you have to use 10 times times the effort to surpass him, and then beat him to the ground to find teeth, if this is still playing but, then to Yin, blindfolded face to play SAP, under the Black Hand, Pat Bricks, Just don't let him know who you are. ”The grocer's belly was black and he gestured, Zhang Tie is a little stunned, see Zhang Tie Honestly, the grocery store boss seems very dissatisfied, he took a hard pat on the shoulder of iron, "Boy, see you people are good, I just put my life this decades of experience to teach you, when your fist is not, is to make up for it.The owner of the grocery store pointed to Zhang Tie’s head and raised his head with pride. “Today teach you a famous saying – a soft tongue that can break hard bones, a smart head, better than any weapon of the gods!”
Tang De’s last sentence made Zhang Tie’s heart move slightly. The boy felt that it seemed to make sense. “Who said this sentence?”
"Donde!"
"Cut, I don't believe it!"
"Do not believe that you are down, um, as usual, you will not leave you for dinner!"The iron cock said as usual.
