I have a sign-in system when I go to the Siheyuan

After a while, I arrived at the wonton stand.

Thinking of the wontons I had that day, I was craving for them again, so I rode my bike to the wonton stand quickly.

It was really good to have a bike, and I arrived at the wonton stand after riding for a while.

After parking the bike aside, he sat down and said to the boss: "Boss, two bowls of wontons and ten sesame cakes."

The boss looked at him and said: "Oh, good man, the bike is new!"

Li Chenyu smiled: "Yes, I bought it today." Then he took two candies from his bag and said to the boss: "Here, boss, I'll treat you to a candy."

The wonton shop owner took the candy with a smile and said to him: "Thanks, I want to share in the good luck."

Then he brought over two bowls of wontons, a plate of sesame cakes, and a small plate of pickled radish strips, which were a bit sweet and sour and a bit spicy, quite good.

Li Chenyu knew that he was treating the boss to candy, and the boss gave him a plate of radish strips in return.

Li Chenyu was eating wontons and whispered to the boss: "Boss, are you selling these radish strips?"

The boss smiled and whispered, "If you like it, I'll give you some, and I don't want you to pay. These are the radish strips pickled by my mother, and there are still a lot."

Li Chenyu didn't feel comfortable asking for things from others, so he said to the boss: "Boss, I really want to buy some to take home and drink with porridge. If you have more at home, I'll buy some."

The boss saw that he was serious and didn't say whether he agreed or not: "I have to ask my mother about this, wait a minute."

"Of course, otherwise what if my aunt doesn't make it for me in the future." Li Chenyu said with a smile.

After that, the boss walked to the backyard. After a few minutes, the boss came out and told him with a smile that her mother agreed.

After Li Chenyu was full, he gave the money ticket and went to the backyard with the boss.

There was an old lady in her fifties sitting at the door of the backyard house.

Li Chenyu smiled and greeted: "Auntie, I just ate the pickles you made. They were so delicious, so I want to buy some to take back."

The old lady smiled and said: "Okay, if you like it, take more." Then she went back to the house.

The boss gave him a large jar of pickled vegetables and asked for three yuan.

Li Chenyu tied the pickle jar with a rope and hung it on the bicycle.

He found a place where no one was and put the pickle jar in the space. Then he rode to the trust store.

There were many trust stores at that time, also called entrusted banks.

Among them, there were four famous trust stores, one in Dongdan, Beixinqiao, Xisi, and Caishikou.

It took him seven or eight minutes to ride to the Beixinqiao Trust Store, next to which was the Post Office.

He parked his bicycle, locked it, and walked into the trust store.

The store was quite large inside, with rows of glass counters on the left and right, filled with various entrusted items.

He looked around and saw cameras, watches, tape recorders, phonographs, clothes, bicycles, porcelain, jade jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, furniture... There were all kinds of things.

People nowadays have a hard life. You need tickets to buy anything. What if you don't have tickets? Trust stores have emerged.

If you are short of money or need to move or sell things, you will have money to buy things without tickets.

There is an area inside that is dedicated to acquisitions, and the acquisition department is separated from other areas.

There are two types of things in trust stores. One is to sell the items directly to the trust store. After the seller sells the items, the items are given to the trust store. The trust store has nothing to do with the seller at that time.

The other is that the seller puts the items in the trust store for consignment. The seller gives the selling price, and then the trust store is entrusted to sell it. After the transaction is completed, the trust store will charge a certain handling fee.

There are many people in the trust store, and many of them want to pick up bargains.

He went directly to the furniture selling area. There were also many furniture, all of which were ordinary styles. I didn't see any good wood.

How could such a big trust bank not have it? No one would believe it if I told them.

He looked at the furniture, then walked to the counter and asked the male salesperson: "Hello, I want to ask if you have other furniture here, better furniture with a sense of age."

After saying that, he took out a cigarette and handed it over, and then grabbed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from his bag, about five or six.

The male salesperson saw the cigarettes and candies handed over by Li Chenyu.

He took the cigarette and put it to his ear with a smile, and put the candies in his pocket, but the smile on his face was much more sincere.

"Brother, what furniture do you want to buy? Some are in the warehouse behind."

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows.

"Brother, my name is Li Chenyu. Now my family is renovating the house, but the furniture is all gone.

It's been so many years, it can't be used anymore."

Then he said, "I plan to buy some more furniture. When I get married, I won't need to buy more."

"Is there anyone in your trust store who knows about this? I want to buy some older furniture that looks like it can be used for many years."

The male salesman nodded meaningfully after hearing what Li Chenyu said, "Yes, there are, but they are not from our trust bank. If someone needs us, we can introduce them and give us some commission."

"Brother, is that person reliable?"

The male salesman smiled and whispered to him, "This person is the uncle of our manager. He was originally the owner of a pawnshop, and later he went home to retire when he got old."

After a pause, he said, "But the old man can't sit still, so he stays here for two hours every day to have fun and earn some pocket money."

"Brother, please ask for me and see if the old man is willing to accompany me to look at furniture. "

Li Chenyu whispered again: "Brother, if it works, I won't let you help for nothing."

The male salesman was more satisfied when he heard Li Chenyu's words: "Brother, my last name is Tang, you can just call me Brother Tang. When I come, I will tell Old Man Wang that you are my distant relative. Remember to wait here for a while. I will ask Old Man Wang to come over now."

Li Chenyu smiled: "Okay, Brother Tang, thank you."

Five minutes later, Brother Tang led an old man with patched clothes and gray hair to come over.

The old man looked energetic, calm, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.

The old man looked at Li Chenyu casually and stood there without saying anything.

Brother Tang said to the old man: "Grandpa Wang, this is my relative of Xiao Li. He wants to buy some furniture with a sense of age. "

Turning around, he introduced Li Chenyu: Xiao Li, this is Mr. Wang, who is a leader in our industry.

Then you and Mr. Wang can talk by yourselves, I won't bother you, after all, the counter cannot do without people, just come to me if you have anything."

Brother Tang nodded to the two of them and walked towards the counter.

Li Chenyu smiled at Mr. Wang and said, "Hello, old man, I will be thick-skinned and call you Uncle Wang!

I just like some antique furniture with a sense of age, and I want you to take a look."

Mr. Wang also spoke at this time, "No problem, don't you want to see the furniture? Let's go now!"
