Night’s Nomenclature - Chapter 131
[One hundred and thirty, disturbing]
At night, North Street in Los Angeles should be one of the most lively places.
There are ancient Chinese-style buildings on both sides of the road, and there are strings of festive red lanterns hanging on the bluestone road.
On the street that is about one kilometer long, there are chicken wings and roasted gluten, and one after another, uniformed standard stalls are lined up south.
When the red light comes on at night, the bluestone road is crowded with people, and it is very lively.
In a small Chinese-style alley just south of North Street, there is a sign at the entrance of a small courtyard: Recycling Moutai, Cordyceps, Ginseng, Gold at a high price…
The old man in the yard moved a long bench at the door, and he stepped on it and gently wiped the floating ash on the red lantern at the door with a towel.
“What is the price of gold today?”
A hoarse voice sounded behind the old man, and when he looked back, he was overjoyed: “Boy, it’s you again!”
I saw Qingchen wearing a hood and putting his hands in the front pockets of his sweater.
However, the old man still had a fresh memory of him. After all, he took a big advantage last time, so he recognized it after a little look.
Qingchen said calmly: “I have already asked others, even if you don’t have an invoice, you have to pay me the normal gold price, which is what pawnshops charge.”
The old man was not ashamed, he said with a smile: “Who told you that you don’t want to be known, the pawnshops are all under surveillance, and they are all registered at the police station, so it’s easy to check where you came from. You will have to pay for selling stolen goods. At the price of selling stolen goods, I also took the risk, didn’t I?”
“400 grams,” Qing Chen said without ink, “I advise you to think about it before answering my price. If it’s lower, I’ll turn around and leave.”
The old man said cheerfully: “Don’t worry, the price of gold is 390 today, how about I give you 300?”
Qingchen turned around and left, only to see the old man hurriedly jump off the bench and hold him: “Why are you so impatient, young man, 320, no more!”
“Okay,” Qing Chen went directly into the courtyard: “I want cash.”
The old man followed behind him and said, “I don’t have that much cash. If you insist on cash, I can only give you 100,000.”
Qing Chen sneered: “A place that specializes in collecting stolen goods will not have a hundred thousand in cash? I don’t believe it, old man, if you continue to cheat and try to lower the price, this business will not be done.”
“Okay,” the old man said in his heart that this kid is a little bit tricky: “Inspect the goods first.”
Qingchen took out the gold bar, and the old man measured the density in the water by hanging it in the air. After confirming that there was no problem, he went directly to the backyard to open the safe to take out 128,000 in cash, and put it in a black plastic bag.
“You won’t ask for a piece of dots again, will you?” the old man wondered.
Then he watched Qingchen check the banknotes one by one, and finally took out five of them: “Change it, thank you.”
“Hey,” the old man said just now that the young man was impatient, but now he was really shocked by the patience of the other party.
He reluctantly changed five pictures and took them in Qingchen’s hands: “I’m really convinced, it’s the first time I’ve seen you as careful as you are.”
Qingchen responded with a blank expression: “It’s the first time I’ve seen a slippery old man like you.”
After speaking, he left the courtyard without hesitation.
This time, he will give Jiang Xue the money directly, and then a small part will be slowly transferred by the other party to his WeChat for mobile payment.
If someone asks, Jiang Xue can be said to be Qingchen’s tuition fee for Li Tongyun’s make-up class.
The other part was deposited on the bank card handled by the other party separately, and Qingchen carried it on his body for use.
Jiang Xue is a time traveler on the bright side, so he doesn’t need to worry about other people’s suspicion, but he is different. There is a large deposit of unknown origin in his account, and anyone who cares a little will know that something is wrong with him.
Before the owner of the demon stamp has surfaced, he must be careful.
When she got home, Li Tongyun was watching TV in his newly rented house, and when she saw Qingchen came back, she said excitedly: “Brother Qingchen, the curtains in this house are all electric, and you can control all the curtains with your mobile phone. The light switch, the toilet is also electric, the super membership of the TV has been on for a year, and many cartoons can be watched!”
Qing Chen couldn’t help laughing and laughing, no matter how precocious the little girl was, she was still a child after all, so the one who attracted the other party the most was actually a one-year TV member…
At this time, Jiang Xue was tidying up the house, and she replaced all the bedding in the house with new ones.
Li Tongyun jumped off the sofa and hugged his mother’s waist pitifully: “Mom, let’s live here tonight, with brother Qingchen.”
Jiang Xue said angrily: “This is the newly rented house by your brother Qingchen. You can live here if you say it is?”
“Mom,” Li Tongyun said suddenly, “you have already spread the bedding in both bedrooms!”
“Hey!” Jiang Xue blushed suddenly, a little embarrassed after being dismantled.
In fact, although they are not related to each other by blood now, they are already like relatives, a pure feeling that is not mixed with fame, profit, and desire.
No matter Jiang Xue, Li Tongyun or Qingchen, they are all just poor people in this world.
Because of an accidental time-travel event, fate was suddenly tied together.
Jiang Xue has experienced danger, but she is only a weak woman after all, so she will be afraid and feel insecure.
When I was tidying up this house, I somehow managed to tidy up both houses, and I also thought secretly in my heart that sometimes if I was afraid, I would bring Xiaoyun to live here.
However, this thought was dismantled too quickly by Li Tongyun.
Qingchen hurriedly said: “Aunt Jiang Xue, the apartment is bigger than our 101 and 201. It would be a waste for me to live alone with two bedrooms and one living room, so I’ll leave the master bedroom to you, you can live there whenever you want. .”
Li Tongyun looked at Jiang Xue: “Look at what brother Qingchen said!”
“That’s fine, but just stay for one night for the time being. Don’t make trouble tomorrow,” Jiang Xue agreed.
…
At noon the next day, Qingchen returned home early after school, waiting for the arrival of the intermediary and Qing Guozhong.
Countdown to 8:00:00.
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, there was noise outside the house.
I just heard Qing Guozhong’s impatient voice: “Didn’t I tell you everything, the house is mine, I can sell it if I want to, you just ask your client to come over, as long as the price is right, I will immediately Go through the transfer procedures.”
The intermediary complained: “The key is that if your son doesn’t want to move, it will be very troublesome even if the property is transferred. At that time, the buyer will say that our intermediary company is unreliable.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll settle this matter today!” Qing Guozhong said confidently. In his impression, his son has always been submissive, and it is impossible to oppose him.
Qing Chen listened to all this silently, and didn’t push the door out until the other party entered the door.
He wants to make a decision today, so he doesn’t want Qing Guozhong to know where he will live in the future.
Otherwise, the other party owes gambling debts and will come to you.
