Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 121 You and I are both mortals

Xu Deyong found a bamboo seller near the shed.

The bamboo used to make chicken coops can be made of good quality, but he also wants to make some bamboo weaving and bamboo utensils, and his requirements for bamboo are higher.

Winter bamboo that is three to five years old is generally used for bamboo weaving. Winter bamboo contains less water and sugar, is less likely to grow insects, and is durable.

This is the right time!
Xu Deyong picked and picked, and finally fell in love with the bamboo of an old man. The old man had dark skin and dry cracks on his face and hands. He was repairing a clock with his sleeves and squatting next to a wheelbarrow with three large bundles tied to it.

Apparently there aren't many people buying bamboo at the New Year market, and it hasn't opened yet.

"Uncle, how do you sell your bamboo?" Xu Deyong squatted down and asked, subconsciously handing over a Pegasus cigarette as he spoke.

Seeing that it was a good cigarette, the old man quickly waved his hand and refused. A shy smile appeared on his "gully" face and said: "No, no, your cigarette is too good, I will smoke this."

As he spoke, he took out a dry tobacco pipe from his belted waist and gestured.

Xu Deyong smiled without forcing it and said, "Then how do you sell this bamboo?"

"Oh, oh..." The old man seemed to have just remembered this question and said quickly: "What's the price? You'll pay... fifty cents... for this bundle."

At the end, his voice became softer and he seemed a little unsure.

Xu Deyong touched his chin and thought: "Such a big bundle only costs [-] cents? Although buying three bundles is a bit much, I should just buy them as much as I can!"

The person next to him heard it and immediately said: "I'm cheap, only four cents per bundle."

The old man seemed a little at a loss when he heard this, and muttered: "You... if you don't think it's expensive, you can give me [-] cents..."

"I'm thirty-five cents."

Xu Deyong couldn't help rolling his eyes, and couldn't help but said: "Man, are there people like you? You have to wait until we can't reach an agreement before trying to grab a customer. You see, he has never sold anything before, so he is easy to bully, right?"

"Hey..." The man smiled and said, "I just want to save you money!"

Xu Deyong said: "Yes, thank you for your kindness, but we are just here to buy expensive things or not. Sir, I will buy all three bundles of yours for only fifty cents."

"Okay, game device..."

"Okay, this is our man from Sijiu City..."

……

There were good people around, and Ta'er started shouting "Hello".

Xu Deyong took a look and found that most of the applauders were those who carried cages and framed birds.

He stood up and clasped his fists to express his gratitude for the support.

He also returned the greeting with cupped fists. The two met by chance, but they just happened to meet each other and passed by each other.

The old man was still a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Xu Deyong said: "Uncle, come with me. My trolley is at the parking lot. How about I help you push it?"

The old man waved his hand quickly and said: "No, no, I will do it myself, I can't let you be burdened."

After saying that, he put the cart bag on his shoulders, stood up and said, "You lead the way, and I will follow you. If you find it troublesome, I will take you directly to your home."

The old man's chariot bag has become dark and shiny. Some women who are clever and clever will use their own saved hair and hemp to make a chariot chariot for the man.

This is love and romance that is unique to them and unique to this era.

Xu Deyong didn’t know if his wife’s hair was in the old man’s turban, but he hoped it was!
He smiled and said, "Just follow me."

After saying that, he yelled: "Give me a chance, don't scan you..."

"Hey, Silly Que!" The man next to him couldn't help but muttered when he saw the two leaving.

The two of them arrived at Xu Deyong's cart smoothly, and Xu Deyong took out one dollar and fifty cents and handed it to the old man.

A heartfelt smile appeared on the old man's face, and there seemed to be hope in his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, then divided out another three cents and gave it back to Xu Deyong, saying: "You have to be honest, and I can't let you pay too much."

Xu Deyong waved his hand and said: "The bamboo you handle is good and it is worth the price. Just relax and accept it."

The old man pursed his lips, then smiled and said with his blackened teeth: "Hey, thank you, so I accepted it shamelessly. After cutting two pounds of meat, I can still have enough money to buy a bunch of candied haws for my grandson." "

This kind of satisfied smile was something I never had in my previous life even though I had a car, a house, and enough to eat and drink every day!

Xu Deyong felt a little sour inexplicably, not because he sympathized with the old man, but because he sympathized with his former self.

My cheap sympathy is not worthy of sympathy for others!
He rubbed his nose and said, "Uncle, I've moved the bamboo to the truck."

The old man said quickly: "I'll come, I'll come, you rest." This time Xu Deyong didn't let him go, and put the three bundles of bamboo on the cart lightly and quickly.

Before the old man could take action, Xu Deyong finished moving. He smiled and said: "You are young and strong. I was no less good back then!"

Xu Deyong handed him a cigarette again, and this time he put it into his hand without any explanation.

He also lit one and said: "Uncle, will the year be good this year?"

The old man put the cigarette to his nose and smelled it. He reluctantly put it in his ear and said, "It's okay. It's the peak season for vegetables this year. Many of them were not taken out and rotted away. It's a pity."

Xu Deyong frowned slightly. Are the vegetables overstocked and rotten during the peak season?This is not good news. Is it possible that the purchase and sale of vegetables will be unified soon?
Seeing that Xu Deyong didn't speak, the old man said: "Man, you are busy, I will go back first."

Xu Deyong came to his senses and said quickly: "Then please do it, it will take a long time to go back!"

"Hey, I'm used to it." The old man put the bandage on his shoulders again and said with a smile, nodded and left.

"Oh, wait a minute." Xu Deyong said suddenly. He pretended to "take out" a small whip from the tool box of the cart, put it on the old man's car and said, "I bought too many small whips before. This one Just give it to your little grandson to play with."

"Hey, hey, I can't do this. It costs at least two cents...!" The old man put down the car in a hurry and said.

Xu Deyong had already mounted the car, waved his hand and left.

The old man chased for two steps but failed to catch up. He looked at the small whip in his hand and sighed: "Good man!"

……

Xu Deyong is naturally not a good person, and he will not admit that he is a bad person. He is just a mortal who is a little different.

Not far away, I saw a little boy holding a candied haws that was as tall as him and feeding it to the friends who came with him. The children who were not around were extremely envious.

Xu Deyong couldn't help but stop the car slowly, I'm going to choke him, why does he have it!
No, I haven't eaten it for so long.

He turned around and found a nearby candied haws fruit stall, which sold all kinds of beautiful paper-made windmills, lanterns and so on.

He also spent [-] cents to buy a long candied haws, and another [-] cents to buy two lanterns.

Two lanterns were hung on the handlebars, and then one hand was holding the handlebars while riding, and the other hand was holding the candied haws to go home.

Hey, holding it in your hand without eating it is just showing off.

Sure enough, he attracted the envious eyes of all the children along the way, satisfying his middle school mentality.

Back in the courtyard, his appearance immediately attracted the attention of the boys playing at the door.

"Wow, Brother Deyong, your candied haws are so long!"

"Brother Deyong, why did you buy so many bamboo poles?"

"Brother Deyong, can you let me play with the lantern?"

……

Looking at the circle of eager eyes.

Xu Deyong said angrily: "Go, go, play with a candied haws each, don't surround me, I have something else to do."

"Oh oh oh, thank you Brother Deyong..."

"Brother Deyong is the most powerful."

……

Xu Deyong received a lot of flattery during the Chinese New Year, which still feels very good.

It's just a big bunch of candied haws with half cut into it.

He also ate one. It was sour, sweet and delicious. It was all natural without any additives!
He put the things back home, carried the bamboo in again and again, and put it together with the wood in the corner.

The little rich woman is very attractive, but she also needs to have her own small treasury, and she must have an "independent personality and be able to advance and retreat freely"!
Otherwise, no one will help you correct yourself when you "go astray"...

Carmoon, craftsman, get started and start by making a chicken coop...!
Damn, I almost stepped on chicken poop!
