Siheyuan: Silly Zhu is not my father

Chapter 35

He Xiao had a great time eating this hot-boiled mutton meal.

He reckoned that he would eat a catty and a half of mutton alone, and he ate the most on the table anyway.

After eating and drinking enough, Ma Weidu went to pay the bill, and the three of them left the restaurant.

Outside, Feng Gang untied the iron chain and walked over pushing the tricycle.

"Brother Ma, He Xiao, come up."

He Xiao and Ma Weidu didn't refuse either, and they sat on the tricycle, one on each side.

The two big men are really heavy, Feng Gang is thin, and it is a bit difficult to pedal in front.

Fortunately, he just finished eating and drinking, and Donghua Gate is not far from here.

All the way to the west, Feng Gang pedaled for less than 10 minutes and arrived at the place they were going to.

"Donghuamen Trust Store..."

He Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked up at the signboard.

This trust store is quite a big place. At a glance, it has a pavement of at least 20 meters.

Outside the store, there is a row of tricycles and carts with people sitting on them, looking like they are waiting for work.

Hey, this business is good enough.

"That's the purchase department over there, and this is the sales department. Let's go, Xiao He, let's go in and have a look. This trust store specializes in buying and selling second-hand furniture. There should be what you want in it."

Before Feng Gang locked the tricycle, Ma Weidu greeted him.

Glancing at the store, He Xiao was very excited, but he still waited for a while before getting up and walking in.

Trust stores, a bit like the salted fish of later generations, are places that specialize in buying and selling second-hand old objects.

Ordinary people can sell things directly to stores, or they can also sell them on consignment. Don't worry, they are all state-owned stores, and they generally don't cheat.

As soon as He Xiao followed the old horse into the door, he immediately felt as if he had entered a carpentry factory.

The store is full of all kinds of furniture, tables, chairs, boards, and stools are the most. He also saw wooden screens, cabinets, boxes, shelves...

Not only old-style furniture, but also modern ones in the store, such as sofas, glass coffee tables, and even the most popular electroplated upholstered chairs.

But, after all, the trust store is a place to buy and sell second-hand objects. Many of those old-fashioned furniture are missing arms and short legs.

"Xiao He, what kind of furniture do you want specifically?"

"Let me see, let me see..."

For a moment, He Xiao was dazzled.

After looking around, he got up and walked to a square table, and looked at the price.

"Mahogany square table, eight yuan..."

mahogany?

He Xiao scratched his head. There are many types of mahogany, and he doesn't know which one it is.

Looking back at the old horse, he hurriedly greeted him.

Ma Weidu groped for a while, then took a closer look, and said, "Huanghuali's small square table, it's a pity that one of its legs is broken."

"hiss……"

Good guy, is this huanghuali?He Xiao was a little dazed.

"Xiao He, what's the matter with you?"

"Oh, nothing, I want this small square table."

Eight yuan to buy a small square table of huanghuali, even if it is worth a broken leg, He Xiao was very happy.

Standing next to the two of them, Feng Gang couldn't help but glance at He Xiao when he heard what He Xiao said.

Eight yuan is worth his weekly wages. Eight yuan to buy a broken table?

He shook his head, but even though he didn't like this broken square table, he was really envious of He Xiao's enthusiasm for shopping, he was really not short of money.

"Expensive."

Ma Weidu just said two words, and didn't say much else.

"It's expensive, it's huanghuali after all."

He Xiao called the salesperson, quickly took out a big unity, and bought the square table directly.

"Brother He, let me help you move the table out first and put it on my tricycle."

Feng Gang's envy turned to envy, and his eyes didn't have to be said. Seeing that He Xiao paid the money, he moved the square table by himself and walked out.

"Be careful, don't touch it."

He Xiao gave an order, and then looked at Ma Weidu again.

"Old Ma, look here, what other furniture is made of huanghuali, I owe you a favor."

Ma Weidu glanced at him in surprise, "You want the broken one too?"

"Yes, as long as it is huanghuali, I want it." He Xiao said firmly.

Ma Weidu was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. He went to the pile of furniture and picked it up.

A stool with a broken leg, a chair without an armrest, a cabinet without a door, a box with a missing lid, a screen with the top half broken, an official hat chair without an official hat...

After a while, Ma Weidu picked out a bunch of more than 20 items, and He Xiao was dumbfounded.

Seeing that he still wanted to pick, He Xiao grabbed Ma Weidu, "Are these from huanghuali?"

"En." Ma Weidu responded casually.

"You can't be wrong, can you?"

"You can't make a mistake. If you make a mistake, I will compensate you." Ma Weidu said confidently.

But...but this is too much, right?How did huanghuali become something on the street?
He Xiao still couldn't believe it.

"Do you still want me to choose?"

He Xiao looked at the prices of these broken furniture. The big ones and the ones that were kept in good condition cost at most a dozen yuan.

Things that are small and too broken cost only two or three yuan.

Well, what are you talking about, you must buy it, anyway, you can’t lose money, if it breaks, it will break, and it will be like buying wood.

He Xiao nodded, "You continue to choose."

He called the salesperson and calculated the price. There were more than 20 items, and it was less than two hundred yuan. He Xiao happily paid the bill with the money.

Just when Feng Gang came in, he greeted and moved out together.

"He Xiao, this... these are all?"

Feng Gang was dumbfounded, so many things, his little three rounds can't carry them.

"Hey, look at my brain."

Seeing him in a daze, He Xiao also reacted, he took out three cards of Great Unity from his pocket, and handed them over directly.

"Old Feng, you go out and help me find some tricycles, and ask them to help me transport my things back. I'll tell you the address. When you arrive at the place, just ask them to put the things in the courtyard of the middle courtyard."

"By the way, watch carefully."

"Yes, don't worry, I will definitely take care of things for you."

Holding the Great Unity, Feng Gang turned his head and called for someone to go.

He Xiao was relieved, he looked back, and within a short while, Ma Weidu picked out another five or six pieces of broken furniture, all missing arms and legs.

He was a little excited and a little depressed.

Walking up to Ma Weidu, he hastily said:
"Old Ma, don't just pick out the broken furniture, look at those solid wooden furniture."

After working for a while, Ma Weidu was also tired. He straightened up and said to He Xiao:

"Xiao He, if you really like huanghuali, you can go directly to Hainan to buy wood. What kind of furniture do you like, just make it yourself."

"The price is also cheap. I heard that the wood of huanghuali is ten cents a catty locally. Why do you buy these?"

"Huh? A dime a catty?"

Ma Weidu directly stunned He Xiao.

The firewood used for cooking in his hometown is not as cheap as a dime.
