Chapter 98 Cat Bowl
In the alley, a young man was helping someone move coal briquettes into the house.

Take a closer look, hey, Ma Weidu.

He was helping people move the briquettes vigorously.

It is estimated that this family has something good at home, Su Chen touched his chin, why don't he cut off his beard?

The last time I met him in the alley, maybe he couldn't even remember what he looked like.

In addition, he is sure that the old horse must have seen some treasures in the master's house, and after a while after moving the briquettes, he will find an excuse to take the treasures away.

Su Chen simply pushed the cart forward, opened his mouth and yelled: "Collect rags, recycle all kinds of broken copper and iron, all kinds of old furniture, bottles and cans, young and old, old things that are no longer needed at home, put them in the way I will recycle everything here.”

When Ma Weidu, who was helping someone unload coal balls, heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

He almost lost his strength in his hands, and immediately looked secretly at the uncle who was also carrying coal briquettes. Seeing that the uncle didn't seem to be interested, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Su Chen came up, he pretended not to know Ma Weidu, and asked the old man beside him, "Master, do you have any old items in your house that you don't need? Bottles, jars, furniture, calligraphy and paintings are all recycled. If you take When you go to the trust store, you have to wait for time, and you may not get cash so quickly."

"It's strange, why are people coming to collect the trash every day during this period of time." The uncle replied: "No, everything in the house is gone. Our ancestors were not a rich family, so where did so many old things come from?" ?”

The aunt who just came out of the house interjected, "Do you really charge everything?"

Ma Weidu's face almost turned green.

Su Chen nodded: "Take it, if you think there is anything you don't need, you can show it to me, anyway, it will take up a lot of space in your house, right? Bottles and cans, if they are small, they can be used as seasoning It's not easy to use a bottle, and it's even more difficult to use it as a pickle jar.

If there is some old furniture, you can’t cook a meal even if you split the fire, let’s leave it for use, and it’s crooked; another example is calligraphy and painting, which can also ignite a fire.

I can change some money here, and three or five yuan can improve your life, right?So, if you have anything you don’t need, you can show it to me. If the price is right, I’ll take it away. If it’s not right, you can keep it and you won’t suffer, right? "

Upon hearing what Su Chen said, the aunt nodded subconsciously: "That's true. If you can exchange some money and buy more briquettes, then come in and have a look."

Ma Weidu almost wanted to smash out the coal balls in his hand.

Where did this grandson come from?
He moved more than half of the briquettes, and this grandson appeared out of nowhere. If he really bought that thing, wouldn't his work be in vain?
Su Chen didn't pay attention to what Lao Ma was thinking. If the aunt really sold him something later, he would buy it with money, which was much better than Lao Ma who wanted to go along with the briquettes.

Stepping into the yard and waiting for less than a minute, the aunt took out a porcelain bowl.

Looking at the stains, I don't know what age it is.

"It seems that this old object is the only one in the house. We feed the cats in our family." The aunt said, "You can see how much it is worth. If it is suitable, I will sell it, or I will keep it and continue to feed the cats. "

The uncle followed up and said: "I forgot about this, this bowl is really old, you can see and ask for a price."

Seeing the aunt take out the bowl, a raccoon cat jumped out of nowhere and circled around aunt's feet.

"Aim—aim—"

Su Chen took it and looked at it twice, but he couldn't tell what year it was, but only saw the word 'pivot' in the bowl.

I don't know when it happened.

But if it is used as a cover for the pickle altar, it is quite suitable.

Although he didn't understand, the old horse definitely knew, so he glanced out of the corner of his eye, saw that the old horse really noticed this, and he had an idea in his heart.

"This bowl does look old. If it is some kind of furniture, I can give you a reasonable price, but this thing is not suitable for eating, and you still use it to feed cats. So please make a price, if it is suitable, I will take it." Su Chen said.

The aunt thought for a while: "Ten yuan."

"Ten yuan?" Su Chen said happily: "Auntie, your asking price is too harsh. You should keep ten yuan to feed the cat. Although it is an old object, I don't know what it can be used for. If the table It’s okay to talk about chairs or something.”

The aunt also felt that her asking price was too harsh, and then said, "Five yuan."

"Five yuan?" Su Chen said happily, "Your bowl may not be able to get this price in a trust store. You should keep it and feed it to the cat, but you also took it out. If I don't accept it, I'm ashamed myself."

After a pause, he continued: "How about that, if you have anything in your room that you don't need normally, I'll take it out together and let me see, and maybe I'll take this bowl away by the way, what do you think?"

The uncle immediately took over the words: "There is really nothing good in the house, young man, you can give me a price, if it is suitable, you can take this bowl."

"Three yuan." Su Chen said, "What do you think?"

"Sure, three yuan is three yuan." The uncle and the aunt looked at each other and nodded immediately.

Su Chen immediately took out three yuan to buy the bowl.

The old horse on the side immediately wanted to smash the grandson to death with the coal balls in his hand.

My lord, today's briquettes are all in vain.

A bowl for feeding cats sold for three yuan. The uncle and aunt did not feel that they were losing money, but felt that they were making money. Anyway, it was just a bowl for feeding cats.

When passing by Ma Weidu, Su Chen asked again: "Master, is this your son?"

Ma Wei almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"No, I was carrying coal briquettes with my wife just now, and he came over to help when he saw it." The uncle said cheerfully, "He's a very nice young man with a warm heart."

"That's really a good man." Su Chen said with a smile: "You guys go ahead first."

After coming out of the courtyard, Su Chen stepped on his bicycle and left here.

He shouldn't have misread it, he had been secretly staring at the old horse, although the old horse didn't show it, but he felt that the bowl in his hand should have a lot of background.

Go back and find Mr. Zhu to help you palm your eyes to see what age it is.

I bought some fruit and snacks on the way, and then rode my bicycle all the way to the repair shop.

Xu You and Xue Yu are busy in the shop. Anyway, the repair shop is like this, and various electrical appliances are brought in for repair every day.

Moreover, the entire repair shop was full of money, and there were only three people, who did not violate the rules.

The radio in the store was playing a song, a duet of male and female voices, "...that was grandma holding my hand gently with a cane, walking towards the warm Penghu Bay in the mist..."

Well, it's "Grandma's Penghu Bay", and the voices are from Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi.

Xu You sang softly along with the singing on the tape recorder.

"Come, come, I bought something to eat." Su Chen took out the fruit and snacks in his hand.

Xue Yu reached out to take it: "Give it to me, Xu You is busy singing, I see her, she has a good voice, if she becomes a singer, she will be fine."

"If I become a singer, my parents will probably break my legs." Xu You sighed: "And I just like to hum along."

As he said that, he put down the soldering iron in his hand, and reached out to pick up the snacks that Su Chen bought.

Tear open the package, pour it into his mouth, and said vaguely while eating: "Hey, tell me, after two days of the TOEFL test, can Pan Yuehua and Zhou Wei pass the test?"

"Who knows." Su Chen took out the cat feeding bowl, looked at it, and said, "Now is the time to test their usual study results, and no one else can help, right?"

"Yes." Xu You nodded, his eyes fell on the bowl that Su Chen took out, and he couldn't help but joked: "You won't bring the bowl from your family's Sydney, will you?"

"How is it possible?" Su Chen said, "Why do I have nothing to do with our Sydney bowl? I bought this bowl."

"You're not confused, are you? Buying such a broken bowl?" Xu You looked incredulous, "Right, Teacher Xue?"

"Let him go, since he bought it, there must be his reasons." Xue Yu said with a light smile.

Su Chen took the bowl out and washed it clean, only then did he see the two words in the bowl clearly.

shufu.

The two characters are relatively printed in the bowl.

But he still couldn't see the age.

Antiques are not something that can be seen by reading a few books or watching a few TV shows.

He was going to bring this bowl back to show Mr. Zhu.

After filling the bowl, he said: "It's getting dark today, let's call it a day. What do you want to eat later?"

"No, I have to go home for dinner." Xu You said, "My parents specifically told me when I went out."

"That's it."

After closing the shop door, they parted ways.

After walking two steps, Su Chen said: "We haven't been to the depths of Baihua for a long time, and we just have time now, do you want to go and have a look?"
