The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 33 Entrusting the Store to Buy Furniture

Yan Bugui thought that it seemed that he would not be able to earn money from selling furniture.

The tables, chairs and cabinets at home have been used for decades, and they are a bit old, so I said:
"Then where do you buy this furniture, or remake it?"

"No, I'm going to buy some old furniture from a consignment store." Yan Xiecheng replied.

"You're still buying old ones when you buy them in the store. You can just use the ones at home, and you can still pay for shipping."

These days, if you buy large items that you can’t pull yourself, you have to find a cart. They are all freelancers.

"When I buy old furniture, I also buy good wood. The things in our house have nothing to do with good wood. It's too much work to make a fire." Looking at Yan Pugui, he replied helplessly.

"Hey! How do you say it? The furniture in our house can also be used. If it can be used, it will be fine. What else should I pay attention to?" Yan Bugui said reluctantly.

Yan Xiecheng ignored him and just ate sullenly.

The next day was off on Sunday, and Yan Jiecheng got up early to wash up. Today, he plans to go to the consignment store to see if there are old furniture made of good wood, preferably antiques, so that he can make a lot of money after decades . "

Pushing the bicycle out of the courtyard.

The four major entrusted stores in Beijing, Dongdan, Xisi, Caishikou and Beixinqiao, among which Beixinqiao is the most famous for second-hand bicycles

Beixinqiao, who went to Beixinqiao twice before, plans to go to Dongdan's entrusted store this time.

I rode my bicycle and went straight to the Dongdan commissioned store, because it was Sunday and the streets were crowded with people.

Looking at Yan Xiecheng who was riding a bicycle with envy all over his face, he couldn't help but be so hot.

When I came to the Dongdan commissioned store, I went straight to the place where the furniture was sold.

While walking, I saw that there are quite a lot of furniture here, but there is not much value for collection. Most of them are from the Republic of China or the 50s, and the wood used is also very miscellaneous.

As I was walking, I suddenly saw two official hat chairs, walked over, inspected them carefully, and touched them with my hands. They seemed to be the official hat chairs in the early Ming Dynasty... They were made of Huanghuali, so I quickly called the clerk to point them two chairs said:
"How much are these two chairs, comrade?"

"16 yuan, the wood of this chair is good, it is made of huanghuali." The clerk replied.

"I want these two chairs, put them here first, and I'll look at the others." Then he took out the money and gave the money for the two chairs.

After giving the money, I continued to walk forward and walked around the place where the furniture was placed, but I didn't see any furniture with collection value.

So I picked two armchairs from the late Qing Dynasty, a set of sofas and coffee tables from the Republic of China period, wardrobes, cabinets, tables, a large double bed, and a dressing table from the 50s.

Except for the two huanghuali official hat chairs, which are a bit expensive, other furniture is very cheap, and the total cost is less than 100 yuan.That is to say, in this era, if you put 100 yuan in later generations, you can buy a few catties of pork.

After paying the money and taking the invoice, I went out and ordered two carts, loaded the furniture on the carts, and told the master to find Yan Bugui when I got there.

After the confession, I originally wanted to go to the entrusted store in Xisi, touched the ticket in my pocket, thought about it, and forgot it, and went after the next salary.
Riding a bicycle to the courtyard, people passing by looked sideways, mainly because bicycles are too rare in this era, there are only one or two in a courtyard, which is less than cars in later generations.In particular, Yan Xiecheng's car is still a high-end version, and it is equipped with everything that can be equipped. Yan Xiecheng, who is riding a bike, enjoys this look very much.

As soon as I got back to the courtyard, I saw Master Wang and Master Sun working with a few people, and there were still a lot of cement, sand and wood in front of the door of the inverted room...

Come to the door and park your bike.I saw the three mothers hurrying over:

"Mom, the furniture you brought is ready."

"It's too big to fit in your room, so I put a few pieces in our room." The third mother replied.

"Just watch my dad and don't embezzle me." Yan Jiecheng said jokingly

"Hey, it's impossible for your dad to lose your furniture even if he's stingy."

"By the way, mom has lunch ready. The workers should be hungry later."

"Don't worry, you still can't trust your mother, I'll send them there later."

The three mothers finished speaking and went to the kitchen.He brought the meals to the workers who were working.

"Xie Cheng, is your family going to renovate those three inverted houses?"

Just when I was about to go back to the room, I heard someone talking, and when I looked back, it was Xu Damao, who didn't know what he was busy with recently, and was often mysterious:
"Yeah, it's time for me to talk about my partner. I have to decorate the house quickly."

"That's right, when your house is finished, I'll buy you a drink sometime." Xu Damao said with a smile.

I thought to myself, this Yan Xiecheng has pissed off Daye Shazhu and his group a few times these few times. Although they are not friends, they can still be regarded as a front line. We have to establish a good relationship and study the skills of pissing off people together. .

When Yan Xiecheng heard that Xu Damao was going to treat him to dinner, he hurriedly said out of the idea of ​​not taking advantage of the bastard: "Okay, let's have a drink together when the time comes, you can just serve the food, and I will bring the wine."

"Hey! I look down on my brother, don't I? How can I use you to bring wine? I don't have much else, so I wish I had a lot of wine. When the time comes, you will come." Xu Damao thought to himself, as long as you dare to take your family's wine, I will Dare to drink too!This bottle of Erguotou was mixed with half a bottle of water, he felt really uncomfortable after drinking it.

Seeing Xu Damao's expression, Yan Jiecheng knew that Xu Damao was thinking wrong, so he quickly said, "Okay, then I will listen to you, and I will go directly when the time comes."

"Okay, then it's settled, you stay here, I have to go back, my moth is still waiting for me to go back to cook." After finishing speaking, he ran straight to the backyard.

This Xu Damao is not too bad now, at least it doesn't make people feel disgusted, and he can cook for his wife. In this era, there are a few old men who cook for their daughter-in-law at home, except that they are cooks.

"Xie Cheng, are you going to find a partner when you are renovating the house? Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

Just as I was thinking about something, I heard the uncle calling myself.

"Hi! No need, my mother will help me worry about this matter, you should introduce it to Shazhu, you have to worry about it for Shazhu, he is not young at all." Yan Jiecheng looked at the old man and said with squinted eyes.

"I want to introduce to Sha Zhu, but he is too picky, he wants to be beautiful and knowledgeable, so let me find him." The old man said helplessly thinking of Sha Zhu.

"It's okay to pick and choose. Who is stupid? The conditions are good. There is a house, a car, money, and a job." Yan Xiecheng said with a smile.

That's right, Shazhu has already ridden on a bicycle. It is the second-hand bike that Yan Jiecheng bought at the beginning. Yan Bugui gave the bike frame to the old man, and the old man gave it to Shazhu with two wheels. Of course. , It was loaned to Shazhu, and the money still has to be returned to the uncle.
