Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 454 The bed is too narrow

After some haggling, Gao Mingcheng won the canopy bed for 600 yuan.

Gao Mingcheng said to the old man's grandson Archie: "I don't have that much money in my hand. Come back to the store with me later and I will give you the money."

Archie was not dissatisfied at all, he nodded in agreement and actively helped dismantle the canopy bed together.

Gao Mingcheng is Gao Ju's nephew, and he runs such a large clothing store there, so Archie naturally believes in his credibility.

With the help of Archie and Maozi, Gao Mingcheng quickly dismantled the canopy bed. After dismantling it, he found that the wood was deformed and slightly broken in some inconspicuous places. Gao Mingcheng immediately picked it up. After careful observation of the piece of wood, I found that although there were signs of deformation and breakage, they were not obvious.

Although mahogany is hard, even reinforced concrete will be damaged. Mahogany will naturally be damaged. Furniture made of mahogany has the characteristic of absorbing moisture and swelling when drying. In this way, when the seasons change, due to the changes in the wood, people will lie down. The canopy bed creaks when you turn over in bed.

At this time, it is necessary to repair in time and adjust the fit of the mortise and tenon.

Archi's heart was raised, fearing that Gao Mingcheng would bargain for it.However, Gao Mingcheng did not mean to bargain, but said: "The wood is a little deformed. The bed must be squeaking when you sleep on it, right?"

"Brother Mingcheng, you are right. When my grandma turns over, the sound of the bed can be heard in the next room." Archie spoke with an exaggerated expression.

His grandma had been sitting quietly at the door, watching them dismantle the canopy bed, her eyes full of nostalgia.

The old things in the house are disappearing little by little, and now only this canopy bed and the two wooden boxes are left. The bed will be sold for a bride price, and the two wooden boxes will be repainted and rusted. When the time comes, pass it on to your grandson and granddaughter-in-law for their own use.

The old man thought so with a peaceful expression.

"Okay, it's all loaded into the car. Let's go back to the store! I'll give you the money quickly, and you can buy your grandma a good bed to sleep on." Gao Mingcheng moved the last few boards onto the truck body and signaled Archie gets in the car.

As for Mao Zi, he didn't need anyone to greet him, so he quickly got into the carriage and found a spacious place to stand.

The journey is not far, and after 10 minutes, we arrived at the backyard of the clothing store.

Without any delay, Gao Mingcheng walked towards the cashier of the clothing store and counted out 600 yuan from today's sales.

"Count it and see if the number is correct." Gao Mingcheng handed the money to Archie.

Archie quickly took it, and while counting the money, he said: "Brother Mingcheng has a good reputation, so of course I trust you."

Soon, he counted the money clearly and said quickly: "The number is right, right."

After watching Archie and Maozi leave, Gao Mingcheng drove the tractor directly into the backyard. As a result, the backyard seemed a bit crowded.

He closed the backyard door and showed no intention of unloading.

He is going to Yangcheng tomorrow, so he will naturally take this canopy bed with him, and he is too lazy to unload it now.

Gao Shufang has stewed the cow's head and hooves until they are tender and is now removing the meat from the cow's head.After removing the meat, stir-fry it with chili pepper and black bean sauce, and it will be full of flavor.

"Second brother, that pile of broken wood you bought cost 600 yuan? If you spend it like this, the store will almost run out of money!" Gao Shufang said worriedly. She thought her second brother had been deceived. , how can that bit of wood be worth 600 yuan?
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Just do your job well. Second brother, you don't have to worry about it."

"Oh, then when the second sister-in-law comes back, I will file a complaint against you to her!" Gao Shufang still felt that her second brother had made a loss and decided to recruit an ally.

"What are you going to complain to me about?" Duomei happened to be back at this time, and she quickly asked curiously.

Gao Shufang got along well with Duomei, so she immediately told Gao Mingcheng that he spent 600 yuan to buy a pile of wood.

Judging from the jealous look on her face, she might have forgotten that Gao Mingcheng was her second brother.

Gao Mingcheng simply flicked her forehead with his fingers, then picked up a piece of stewed meat and fed it to her.

"I can't stop your mouth! How beautiful, don't listen to her nonsense! I'm going to Yangcheng tomorrow. I can make several times the profit by reselling that pile of old wood!" Gao Mingcheng didn't want to have any discord between the couple, so he immediately explained Finished sentence.

Many beauties walked towards the carriage curiously, looked at the wooden boards inside, and immediately guessed that it was a bed.

Gao Mingcheng walked over and said: "This should be a canopy bed from the Qing Dynasty. Even if it is not from the Qing Dynasty, it is from the Republic of China. It is made of old mahogany, with fine workmanship and delicate carvings. I bought it for 600 yuan. It is a good deal." .”

"A pair of Qing Dynasty chairs in good condition are sold on the market for 800 yuan, but in a few years or more than ten years, the price will rise a lot! This bed is a bit old, but as long as it is repaired Finally, apply a layer of earth paint and it will still look beautiful when stored.”

"If you like this kind of bed, then I won't sell it. Find a craftsman to repair it and use it yourself!"

Duo Mei stared at the carvings of plants, trees, birds and animals, and she liked them quite a lot, but she still asked the question she was concerned about: "How wide is this bed?"

"About 1.3 meters." Gao Mingcheng said. There was a small problem with the previous beds, that is, most of them were not spacious enough. I don't know if it was due to saving wood or something else.

Hearing this number, Duo Mei said decisively: "It's better not to keep it!"

The bed is too narrow and it’s not smart enough to mess around with it!
Suddenly, many beauties' cheeks turned red. For some reason, images that they shouldn't have appeared in their minds.

She coughed lightly and continued: "It's better to sell it for money!"

Gao Mingcheng did think it was too narrow. Although it could sleep two people, it was uncomfortable and not comfortable enough when doing something.

"Then sell it! By the way, when you come back, let Luo Li go home first. There are many people eating at her house now, so let her go back and cook early." Gao Mingcheng said, calling Luo Li to the backyard , and asked her to take the things prepared in advance, including five kilograms of good beef, ten kilograms of beef bones, and two kilograms of red bayberry.

"Can you afford it?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

Luo Li smiled widely and said repeatedly: "I can lift it, I can lift it! I will bring this basket back tomorrow morning!"

After letting Luo Li go, Gao Mingcheng asked about Xiao Xuxu again.

Duo Mei said: "He and Xiao Yuanyuan were having fun, but they were still outside and refused to come back. Aunt Hu and Xiuman were playing with them, so I came back first."

Not long after, Hu Yinchen and the others also came back. Gao Mingcheng took over Xiao Xuxu and kissed and hugged Xiao Xuxu for a while, making Xiao Xuxu giggle.

"Aunt Hu, those two pounds of beef and one pound of bayberry are for you." Gao Mingcheng said, motioning to Hu Yinchen to get it himself.

Hu Yinchen had already smelled the rich aroma of meat. Looking at the meat on the chopping board and the broth in the big iron pot, she really wanted to stay here to eat.

But she was very happy to be able to get two kilograms of beef to take home and share with her family, and happily carried her things home.

This is a night where several families will be laughing and laughing over this beef meal.

The dining table of Gao Mingcheng's family is also extremely rich, and the refrigerator is full, so they can eat several more hearty meals.

He Xiuman came to the county to participate in kindergarten teacher training, so naturally she stayed at Gao Mingcheng's place. There happened to be an empty room on the second floor for her mother and daughter.

Originally, Gao Zhuang asked He Xiuman to come alone so that he could study seriously, but Xiao Yuanyuan couldn't live without her mother. When they parted, she cried heartbreakingly. He Xiuman couldn't bear it, so he took Xiao Yuanyuan with him. Came here together.

Fortunately, Hu Yinchen was invited to work at home. When she was taking care of Xiao Xuxu, she could help take care of Xiao Yuanyuan.

At this moment, Little Yuanyuan was sitting on the small bench, eating meat in big mouthfuls. The meat was stewed until it was tender, but the fiber of old beef was thicker, and the gaps between Little Yuanyuan’s baby teeth were large, so she had to eat a mouthful of meat. , just jammed between teeth!

While Xiao Yuanyuan was greedy for meat, she called her mother from time to time to help her get the meat out of her teeth, which made Gao Mingcheng laugh.

He coaxed Xiao Xuxu to open his mouth, but found that Xiao Xuxu's teeth grew slowly. He was eight months old and only had four upper and lower teeth. With these few teeth, he could only taste meat!
