Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 41 Entrusted Bank (Please)

In the backyard, the Xu family felt that Xu Deyong was lucky.

As for Liu Haizhong, he was a little disdainful. He was concerned about politics and thought that Xu Deyong would not last long.

Of course, the three Liu Guangqi brothers were full of envy of Xu Deyong.

There are many things that cannot be described in words.

……

The next day.

Xu Deyong insists on exercising and gets up early with strong posture.

As for the cold, after these days of adaptation and exercise, his body has developed a certain resistance. When putting on clothes in the morning, he no longer needs to rely on speed to preserve the poor temperature.

"call……!"

When he came outside, Xu Deyong exhaled a breath of hot breath, and the agitation in his young body slowly softened.

He had bright eyes, full of energy, strong body, punching and kicking, and then continued bouldering and squatting.

This stone seems to be a bit light. When he changes to a cart, he will go out to find a more suitable one.

If you want to go deep into the "stock market", your own software and hardware conditions must meet the standards. Otherwise, once you enter the stock market, it will be as deep as the sea and it will just keep falling and plummeting...

After that, he was disgraced and was kicked out of the house!
Although He Yuzhu wanted to take a nap, he heard that Xu Deyong had already gotten up to exercise. Thinking of the gap between them and the desire to stand up, he gritted his teeth and got up.

Sometimes, having a "good neighbor and good friend" is truly a blessing.

He Yuzhu should feel lucky!

While he was exercising, he kept looking at Xu Deyong. He had already learned the rumors about Xu Deyong from his sister.

He also lamented that Xu Deyong was so lucky.

He was still an apprentice at a Sichuan restaurant and had not yet started his apprenticeship. Xu Deyong was already wearing a Chinese tunic suit and leather shoes.

The chain of contempt at this time is naturally looking down on the "banye" who rides the three-wheeler and the "wobo" who carries the big bag.

Xu Deyong happened to be involved in both!

Therefore, even though Xu Deyong is both a clock and a play box these days, he is still not recognized by the "mainstream" and most people just look at the excitement.

Mao suits and leather shoes are standard equipment for cadres and worker leaders. How can he be so virtuous?
The more I think about He Yuzhu, the more I see that Xu Deyong’s eyes are not eyes, and his nose is not a nose.

He thought in despair: "Mother, what's wrong with me?"

Xu Deyong glanced at him and said, "What are you looking at?"

He Yuzhu was immediately turned upside down by the "contemptuous" tone and eyes, and he rubbed his neck and said with a smile on his face: "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Deyong smiled, this old boy gave himself a role here.

"Boom."

Xu Deyong threw the stone and said, "What, you want to practice again?"

The corner of He Yuzhu's mouth twitched, and he wanted to try it, but he was not sure, so he could only stare and said: "Don't practice!"

Don’t be shy if you talk!
Xu Deyong clapped his hands and said, "Then stop looking at me sideways, or I'll let you know what it means to be a bully."

He Yuzhu thought to himself: "If you are the overlord, I will be Liu Bang, and I will kill you sooner or later."

But storytellers say that Liu Bang killed the overlord with the help of Zhang Liang, Han Xin and so on.

Where are my Zhang Liang and Han Xin?
Think about the people in the courtyard, and then think about your relationship with them...

Come on, take a break!

He, "Liu Bang," had to endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden.

"Humph!"

So He Yuzhu snorted coldly to show that he didn't share your common sense.

Xu Deyong just saw that he was a little bit cocky, so he tried to scare him without actually beating him, otherwise he would be lying on the ground.

With a thought in his mind, he opened today's blind box.

"Papa..."

A small pile of things fell down in the space.

Xu Deyong took a closer look and saw that it was an envelope of matches. There were ten envelopes in total, each containing ten boxes.

Yes, a hundred boxes of matches are enough for him to use for a long time.

A match costs two cents, a hundred boxes costs two yuan, it is not considered small money. Be content and happy!
He reached out and took out a box from his pocket.

"Monkey Tiger Matches, local state-owned Sijiucheng Match Factory." Xu Deyong took a look at the words on the matchbox.

Matches are basically no longer used by people in later generations, but some small advertisements for men's hospitals have become their big customers!

Without paying any attention to He Yuzhu, he walked home casually and threw a box of matches on the cabinet. When he turned around, grandma found that she couldn't help but feel happy for a while.

Two cents is money!
After eating a healthy breakfast of whole grains, saying goodbye to grandma, and agreeing to come back for dinner at noon to take her out, Xu Deyong got on his three-wheeler and set off.

Life is a process that keeps repeating... If you don't take a break sometimes, you won't know how exciting it will be!

That's why he quickly agreed to Chen Xueru and Elena's invitation. Otherwise, if he wanted to go out, just a letter of introduction would stump him.

After going around for a while, he brought two customers to the market entrance. He looked around while riding, and his eyes narrowed slightly when he saw a storefront.

I touched my pocket and saw that the pieces of hair added up to just over ten yuan.

Well, don’t think about the good stuff, just go in and take a look at what gadgets there are!
Xu Deyong rode over and stopped at the door, then strode in.

"Hello, comrade, do you plan to entrust something or buy something?" the 50-[-]-year-old staff member said with a smile.

Yes, this is a consignment store that mainly sells used goods.Some of these staff members were former "playing drums".

Those who play the snare drum are those who collected old goods in the past, and it was one of the "eight words" trades in the old days.

The origin of this name is probably because when they went out to do business, they held a small drum in their hands.

There are two types of snare drum players: those who play hard drums; and those who play soft drums.

The cost of making hard drums is relatively large, and they have considerable dealings with various antique shops. They also run a small second-hand shop themselves.

Those who play soft drums are the opposite of those who play hard drums. They go to poor people's homes and small alleys to buy old and useless things.

Many of these "playing snare drums" have some secrets with each other. In the old days, someone was selling old items and asked a few "playing snare drums". The price got lower and lower the more I asked, and in the end I could only sell to the first one.

After the 50s, the country established recycling companies and trust firms, offering fair prices and fair prices. These small drums gradually disappeared.

The discerning and experienced among them were also absorbed into these industries and became national employees.

This commission shop is full of dazzling arrays of all kinds of messy things.

Old cameras, old watches, old clothes, old shoes...any old things of some use can be sold here.

There are two forms of entrusted store purchases. One is entrustment, which is more expensive than selling directly to the store. The two parties negotiate a suitable price, and the store charges a handling fee after the item is sold.The handling fee for general items is 7%, and the handling fee for furniture and bicycles is 4%.

If you are in a hurry and are waiting for money, you can also have the entrusted store appraise the property and take the money directly.Of course, the price must be lower because they have to bear the risk of not selling it for you.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "You are busy, I will take a stroll."

The staff member looked at Xu Deyong, then looked at the tricycle outside, smiled and said nothing.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and naturally this entrustment bank also has "jiangs and lakes".

And some "vagrants" such as tricycle riders who often walk on the streets are regular visitors to this place.

They are well-informed, and they will find out over time what is needed in the East and West. New things are too expensive to buy, and old things in good condition and at much cheaper prices will naturally be needed.

These people are the "original villains."

If you have vision, connections, and the ability to repair old things, you will be a "master of the world."

Some people can make a lot of difference by repairing broken things in the commission shop, taking them back and selling them again.

Of course, if you can find a buyer, you can make more money.

The staff obviously classified Xu Deyong as this type of person, but they just looked a little strange to Xu Deyong.

Now is not the time when commission shops are most prosperous. In difficult times, commission shops that "can buy and sell anything" and don't require tickets will become more prosperous.

Xu Deyong looked around. There were some good things, such as cameras and watches, but most of them were ordinary things.

As for antiques and the like... don't make trouble. Firstly, the public is not interested in it now, and secondly, people who own such things are not fools. Who would be willing to take advantage of them without encountering difficulties?

The reason why picking up leaks is called picking up leaks is because it is extremely rare!

Do you think it's "breaking the four olds" so you can just mess with it?

Xu Deyong walked around and was about to leave, when a man walked in holding a wooden tower clock.

He glanced at it and saw that the clock hand was no longer moving. It seemed that something was wrong.

If it is good, he will leave directly, but if it is bad, he will make money.

After the man left, Xu Deyong stepped forward and asked, "Comrade, how much does this wooden tower clock cost?"

The staff member said: "This clock is broken, I'm selling it for five yuan."

"Please show it to me," Xu Deyong said.

The staff put the wooden tower clock on the counter. After approval, Xu Deyong took the key and wound it. After listening to the sound, he said: "You can make an invoice. I want this wooden tower clock."

The staff member said while issuing the invoice: "Do you know your craftsmanship? You won't make much money if you take it out for repairs."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "I know a little bit, how much can I sell it for after repairing it?"

The staff member said: "It depends on how you sell it. Sell it to us for eight yuan at most. If you want to consign it, the price should not exceed ten yuan, otherwise it may not be sold in a year or two."

Xu Deyong paid the money and said, "Thank you for your advice."

The staff member smiled and said: "You are here by chance. If it had been another half hour, you would not have seen the wooden tower clock."

Xu Deyong understood, cupped his hands and said, "You are busy."

"You walk slowly."

……

Xu Deyong rode his tricycle home. It was his luck. He happened to encounter it and could make a small profit after repairing the wooden tower clock.

Luck couldn't always be on his side.

Each mountain is higher than the other, and there are so many unknown smart people!

Back home, Xu Nanshi saw Xu Deyong bringing back another clock, so she was naturally curious and asked.

Xu Deyong could only lie in good faith and say that someone else asked him to repair it. The old lady was naturally happy to hear that there was progress again.

Potatoes stewed in oil at noon.

Xu Deyong prefers potatoes to cabbage.

Yeah, Potato, give me some food!
After eating and drinking tea, the old lady had to take a break before going out.

Love of beauty, regardless of gender or age.

Xu Deyong easily took apart the wooden clock to check the problem. After he opened the clock core and checked it, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
