My Side Job is a Trader

Zhang Xin nodded when he heard the words, indicating that the old man could give him some popular science.

The old man took out a magnifying glass, carefully observed the fish talisman, and looked at the stall owner who was looking at him expectantly, showing a bit of reluctance, but since he had something to say first, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"This half of the fish talisman is indeed genuine, my friend's eyesight."

The old man gave Zhang Xin a thumbs up, and Zhang Xin hurriedly and modestly expressed his shame.

The stall owner asked: "Old man, can you tell me what the fish charm is?"

The old man cleared his throat and said, "There are many kinds of fish charms, but the most important one is the soldier charm. The ancient emperor's token for mobilizing the army. Without this, even the emperor would not be able to mobilize the army."

"What? Is this a soldier talisman?"

The stall owner only felt his head buzzing and the world spinning, so he supported the passers-by who were watching the excitement so that he would not fall down.

At the same time, those who knew the soldier talisman began to whisper, and all looked sympathetic to the stall owner.

And some outsiders who didn't know, asked the reason one after another, wanting to know the value of the soldier talisman.

The old man did not disappoint them, and continued: "There are very few ancient soldier talismans that have been handed down and are still intact, so every soldier talisman is a priceless treasure."

"No, I heard that the soldier talisman is not in the shape of a tiger?"

The old man went on to say: "Most soldier charms do have the image of tigers, but there are also soldier charms with other animal images. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, soldier charms in the shape of fish were used in order to avoid taboos. In the later period, there were soldier charms in the shape of rabbits, etc. After the Yuan Dynasty, Tokens for troop deployment began to be used, and after that, soldier talismans gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and by the Qing Dynasty, this thing simply did not exist.”

Everyone started talking about it, because Zhang Xin's soldier talisman was a fish-shaped soldier talisman left over from the Tang Dynasty, so it was also called a fish talisman.

The stall owner's eyes were blank, and he muttered to himself: "It's over, it's a big loss, I have eyes but don't know gold and jade!"

The old man might not be able to bear it, so he continued: "Soldier talismans usually appear in pairs, and now there is only one fish talisman, so the value will be greatly reduced, otherwise it is really a priceless treasure."

At this time, someone searched the news on the Internet that fish charms had been auctioned for hundreds of millions. The stall owner almost passed out when he heard it.

The old man kindly reminded: "Only a single fish talisman is of course not worth that much money, and the auction price in the auction house is somewhat watery, so don't take it too seriously."

The stall owner trembled his lips, and asked cautiously: "Then what is the estimated value of this fish charm?"

"Several million! At least one or two million is still available."

The stall owner finally couldn't hold on, his eyes darkened and he fell to the ground. The people nearby called for emergency services, and the stall owner was carried into an ambulance a few minutes later.

The old man shook his head and murmured softly: "Young people nowadays are so poor in mental quality. They can't take it with such a small amount of money. It's better to change careers as soon as possible."

Zhang Xin came to his side and said lightly: "Actually, he doesn't have to bear this trouble and pain. If you don't stop me, or stop me after I leave here, maybe he won't have any troubles."

"Yeah, sometimes ignorance is a blessing. If you really know the truth, you will feel painful instead."

Zhang Xin couldn't help muttering. Although the old man's words sounded simple, Zhang Xin always felt that he seemed to be pointing something.

But Zhang Xin quickly shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, stretched out his hand and said, "Old man, have you appreciated the fish charm enough? Can you return it to me?"

The old man was a little bit reluctant, but he still handed it to Zhang Xin. The moment Zhang Xin put it in his pocket, he said, "I wonder if I can give up my love? I'm very interested in this fish talisman."

Zhang Xin said, "Sorry, I won't sell it."

"The price is not a problem, you can mention it at will, as long as it is within my ability, I will transfer the money to you immediately."

Zhang Xin said lightly: "I'm sorry, I don't lack this little money, and it will be of great use to me!"

After finishing speaking, before the old man could react, he walked away quickly.

Watching Zhang Xin disappear into the crowd, the old man said to himself, "Could it really be the other half of the fish talisman? The words fit well, so it shouldn't be such a coincidence?"

Although he felt very regretful that he didn't buy the fish talisman from Zhang Xin, he quickly adjusted and started to browse the antique stalls again.

Zhang Xin returned to the apartment with the fish charm and calligraphy and painting in his hand, when Li Xueer had already arrived home.

"Hey, what is uncle holding in his hand?"

As she said that, she snatched the things from Zhang Xin and couldn't wait to open them. It turned out to be half a copper fish and a picture of a white tiger descending the mountain. She lost interest in an instant.

Zhang Xin rolled up the calligraphy and painting, and asked, "Why did you leave school so early today?"

"Uncle~ Please check the date. Most of our courses have ended, okay! We'll just wait for the final exam and have a holiday."

After Li Xueer finished speaking, she went on to busy herself with her own affairs.

It's funny to say that Li Xueer bought a sewing machine and put it at home in order to learn fashion design. Recently, whenever she is free, she starts to sit in front of the sewing machine to cut and sew clothes.

Zhang Xin naturally let her do it. After all, it can pass the time and prevent depression. So when Li Xueer was making clothes, Zhang Xin sat aside and read a book. As more and more books were read, Zhang Xin has also developed this habit. up.

After He Cuizhen went out to chat with some elderly people and played mahjong, when she came back, she saw the warm and harmonious scene of the two people and said, "Oh, I really envy you two. I think when I was pregnant, I was still busy working. How could there be you?" So comfortable now."

Hearing this, Zhang Xin closed the book and said, "That's because your son is great, we don't have to worry about money, so we can have a peaceful life today, girl, don't you think so?"

Li Xueer didn't talk to her either, she just cared about immersing herself in her own world.

As time passed, it finally came to the date on the invitation, so Zhang Xin took the fish charm and "White Tiger Descending the Mountain Picture" and drove to the place on the invitation.

Of course, it wasn't Li Xueer's MINI, but a Porsche Cayenne bought by Zhang Xin later. Both cars happened to be available in odd and even numbers.

Following the route on the map, Zhang Xin drove to a relatively secluded place, where every household was a high-rise compound, and there were even guards standing guard at the gate of the community, which were not security guards.

Zhang Xin showed his driver's license and invitation card, and was released only after completing the registration.

Zhang Xin thought to himself: This is the real rich and powerful, power is always better than money, even if Zhang Xin can buy a bigger mansion, but this kind of treatment of soldiers standing guard with real guns and live ammunition will not be available.

Just after Zhang Xin walked into Tan's house with a gift, Zhang Xin finally met today's birthday star Mr. Tan, and he was shocked because he knew this person.

"Hey, it's you!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.
