Rebirth 85: Profits start from repairing sewing machines

Chapter 18 Thief
Early the next morning, Chen Cheng went out.

The first thing I did was to go to the vegetable market. I bought [-] eggs for [-] yuan and came back.

When he went back, Shen Zhihua and Nian Nian were still asleep.

Chen Cheng rubbed his hands and left immediately.

He still has to think about how to earn enough for the 30 yuan to take down that TV.

Not long after Chen Cheng left, Shen Zhihua woke up.

When he saw the dozen or so eggs on the ground, he froze for a moment.

Eggs are a luxury these days.

He... really went to solve this matter?
After delivering the eggs, Chen Cheng returned to the small shop, and it was only after seven o'clock.

How can I earn that 30 yuan!

Chen Cheng was so anxious that he almost died.

Now I only have a little more than 15 yuan left on my body, and there will be nothing more, and 30 yuan is really a lot of money.

In desperation, Chen Cheng closed the door, and was going to try his luck by walking around the streets.

It's just that before he came out, he saw a woman walking in hurriedly.

"Young man, do you still remember me?" The woman looked around forty and smiled at Chen Cheng.

"Big sister!" Chen Cheng immediately remembered, "I remember, I repaired your sewing machine, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The elder sister was very happy, "Yes, your craftsmanship is very good. I heard that you opened a second-hand repair shop here, so I came to have a look."

"Yes, in the future, if any electrical appliance breaks down, you can just call me! By the way, big sister, what's your name?"

"Call me Zhang Huifang, you can just call me Sister Fang!" The eldest sister nodded, hesitated for a while before asking, "Young man, do you have second-hand electrical appliances here?"

Are you in business?
"Sister Fang, do you want second-hand electrical appliances?"

"Yes!" Zhang Huifang nodded, sighed helplessly and said, "My nephew is going to get married soon. After getting married, you have to buy some things, don't you?"

Chen Cheng nodded.

80s married three major items, refrigerator, color TV, washing machine!
"I have a request, I must have these three items!" Zhang Huifang said helplessly, "How can a family like ours afford such things, but my elder brother is so worried! Anyway, in the end I made an agreement with the two young people that I don’t want a color TV, but I definitely need a TV and a washing machine. Refrigerators are rare after all, so I can use other things like bicycles instead.”

"But even so, if you buy a new one, it will still cost a lot of money!"

"The burden is too heavy. Didn't I hear that you still collect waste products here? Can you find such things for us?" Zhang Huifang looked at Chen Cheng expectantly.

Chen Cheng was ecstatic in his heart, he never expected to hand him a pillow when he was tired.

"You mean to replace it with a second-hand one?"

"Yes!" Zhang Huifang nodded and said, "There is really no way, we can't just ignore real life for the sake of face, right?"

"Okay!" Chen Cheng nodded and said, "I really have these things."

Zhang Huifang was overjoyed, "What's the price?"

In Xiaojie's safekeeping place, there is a washing machine, a bicycle, and a TV set, but they are reserved by the owner of the small shop, so it is definitely impossible to give them to him.

In other words, Zhang Huifang needs two of the three things she needs.

"Sister Fang, we are already acquaintances. I won't hide it from you. I already have two of the three things you mentioned, and they are still in good condition. There are just some small problems. I need to fix them." .”

"That's great!" Zhang Huifang was a little excited, "But...how much is it?"

Money is what worries her the most.

Chen Cheng pondered for a moment before saying: "Sister Fang, the thing is like this, those things are not in my hands now, because they are all big things, and I don't have that much money at hand, if I take them back and smash them into my hands, my little one will There is no way to continue the business, so I always make sure that someone wants it, so I take it back, repair it, and then sell it. If you want it, give a deposit, and I will get it back for you. "

Zhang Huifang hesitated a little.

"Sister Fang, you also know that my small business is not easy!" Chen Cheng would not let go of such a good opportunity easily, and explained his difficulty in detail, "If I take it back and fix it, it will be gone by the end of the day." When you say no more, isn't my money wasted?"

Zhang Huifang made sense after thinking about it, and then asked, "Then how much do you want as a deposit?"

"Look, a new washing machine costs about 200 yuan, right? A bicycle also costs about 30 yuan. My second-hand goods must be depreciated. I don't need to spend so much money. It depends on the quality, but at least I can get five dollars." Let’s do it. After [-]%, it’s already more than [-] yuan. The deposit... give me [-] yuan, do you think it’s okay?”

30 yuan!
Zhang Huifang's heart skipped a beat, this is a huge sum.

It's almost a month's salary for an ordinary person!

"Sister Fang, my shop is here anyway!" Chen Cheng knew what the other party was thinking, and said again, "I can't run away, I make a living by this craft, if I really cheat you, then I I don’t need to do business here in the future, so how much I will lose, are you right?”

Zhang Huifang also thought it made sense, and Chen Cheng gave her a very good impression.

"Xiao Chen, right? After all, this matter is not my business, it is my brother's business. Otherwise, let me see tomorrow...in the afternoon, I will call my brother over. If he agrees, he will pay you on the spot. Come over with the deposit, what do you think?"

"Okay!" Chen Cheng kept nodding, "Then let's do it in the afternoon! If I pay the deposit in the afternoon, I can go and get the money to buy the item back. It's also equivalent to paying the deposit to the seller, right? "

"Yes!" Zhang Huifang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll come back in the afternoon!"

"it is good!"

After sending Zhang Huifang away, Chen Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.

At least in a short time, this matter has been resolved.

With this 30 yuan, he can take out the TV set, spend a day or two to fix it, take 100 yuan from the shop owner, and then return the bicycle and washing machine back.
That's it!

After thinking this through, Chen Cheng was in a good mood.

I don't go to the streets anymore, just wait for the guests to come to the door.

Just after nine o'clock, the two big men who came yesterday have already arrived.

Chen Cheng was a little anxious, and wondered if Zhao Zhiwei and the others had come.

"Boss, we're here to look for you!" The tall man glanced at Chen Cheng and said indifferently.

"Okay, okay!" Chen Cheng said bravely.

"Here!" The man put the things on the table, "Come on, the goods are delivered to you, where is the money?"

Where can I go with the money!
Chen Cheng was really anxious.

These two don't look easy to mess with. If they knew that they had no money, they might attack themselves.

At this moment, suddenly a person walked in from outside.

"Look, these two are thieves. Let me say that Chen Cheng is a thief. They are in the same group! Neighbors, we are many people, let's go together, and if we catch them, then we will do a great job! Come in and catch them!"

Brother Kun pointed at the three of them and yelled loudly.
