The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 20 Trading
Chen Jisheng arrived at the scrap yard just in time for the weighing. Materials such as scrap iron are allocated internally in the steel rolling mill. It is impossible to account for them one by one and only based on weight.

After taking a few glances at the scrapyard, Chen Jisheng went in and picked out an iron table for metalworking, a few iron rods, a few iron chains, and a set of combined chain racks. Of course, these things were all old and somewhat defective. But it works.

After making an agreement with the transportation team, Chen Jisheng did not need to sign. Sun Meilan made an explanation and the dispatch order would be sent to the first branch.

Following the carriage all the way back to the yard, he helped unload the truck. There was already a pile of ice cubes piled up in the yard. It had been a long time and had melted badly. After seeing off the carriage of the transport team, Chen Jisheng quickly collected the ice cubes.

The ice cubes and oil drums were transported to the front yard. Chen Jisheng put down five bags of sugar in the warehouse in the backyard, then returned to the front room to make a phone call.

First, notify Lao Liu of Beixinqiao Trust Store and ask him to pick up the goods in the afternoon, and ask him to bring a [-]% to [-]% new bicycle with the brand and license plate.

Bicycles need to be plated and certified, and also need to be inspected by the traffic police. This is Chen Jisheng's blind spot. He was not very impressed with this matter and forgot about it. It was Lao Liu who reminded him just now.

After finishing all this work, Chen Jisheng was still sitting in the morning chair and began to search the warehouse. There were too many supplies and it was not long before he could get a list.

Two trucks of ice were connected in the middle. Compared with the horse-drawn carts in the ice cellar, the efficiency of the steel rolling mill is not high.

Lao Liu's speed here was not slow either. Seven or eight tricycles arrived. Old furniture was not in short supply. Apart from being tied more firmly, there was no tarp to cover it.

"Xiao Chen, come and take a look. These are two sets of furniture selected by the master in the store, one set of yellow sandalwood and one set of red sandalwood."

Lao Liu came here on his bicycle. It seemed that he took him seriously. After hearing his greeting, Chen Jisheng stood up quickly.

When they arrived, they didn't look at the furniture. They walked around a circle of camels with filters. Just chatting with the ice transporters, Chen Jisheng gained some knowledge.

Today's cigarettes, only a limited number of high-end products such as those from China have filters, and the filters are imported. Popular cigarettes, whether they are [-]-cent large front door cigarettes or [-]-cent production cigarettes, do not come with filters and require cigarette tickets. .

After lighting the cigarette, Chen Jisheng puffed out the mist while looking at the furniture. He looked at the yellow sandalwood that Lao Liu mentioned carefully several times and felt that it was all huanghuali. As for the red sandalwood, after a few glances, he was sure It's mahogany.

The two sets of furniture, the so-called yellow sandalwood one, include the official hat chair, the Eight Immortals table, the Arhat bed, and the coffee table. The red sandalwood one is similar. The big piece is the Arhat bed, and the shape is very simple.

The old man from the trust store was quite lazy and left out all the big items like canopy beds, official wardrobes, and picture desks.

"Old Liu, if you have time, I'll find some big items like canopy beds, official wardrobes, and painting desks. It's best to have yellow sandalwood, but also red sandalwood. If you have good old bamboo beds and rocking chairs, I'll also get some. Daybed.

As for tables, chairs, Arhat beds, etc., if there are good ones, they will be sent over. The materials are still the same, and I will exchange them for them. "

After giving some instructions to Old Liu, he arranged for the masters to stack the furniture into piles. When Old Liu got rid of the extra three wheels and only one was left, the two began to settle accounts.

There was no bargaining. Chen Jisheng paid Lao Liu's price for everything. He paid 80 yuan per catty for white sugar without a ticket. After calculating it three times, Lao Liu gave him [-] yuan in change.

A set of furniture cost only the price of a bicycle, which almost made Chen Jisheng extremely happy.

As for the price of sugar, he doesn't care. Eighty cents with a coupon is the market price. One yuan or two without a coupon is required. Nowadays, part of the sugar needs to be imported. Things that require foreign exchange are in short supply.

However, Lao Liu also gave discounts on furniture. The price of high-quality goods is almost the same as that of junk goods. You must know, understand, and recognize this favor!

I led Lao Liu and the tricycle to the backyard. After completing the handover, Lao Liu was very cautious. He put the inner and outer layers of thatch in place, tied the rope tightly, and checked it several times before finishing.

"Lao Liu, as I just said, how much can you give away in a day?"

With Lao Liu as a breakthrough point in the trust store, Chen Jisheng no longer plans to choose furniture by himself. He will collect as much as he can and scrape it clean. That is impossible.

"How much do you give in one day? How many houses do you have?"

The corners of Lao Liu's mouth were curved. Because the deal had made a lot of money and he could make some connections, he was still thinking about how to continue. Unexpectedly, Chen Jisheng sent a pillow.

A trust store is similar to a pawn shop. There are many items that are not of the same standard. You get what you come for and sell what you get. He is still worried about not having anything to exchange for it.

I need furniture. This is great and unexpected. It’s just two sets of furniture a day. Who would use it?

As for using money to buy candy, that's a bit bullying. Who doesn't know how to do business? There's a big price difference.

"Some leaders in the army like these old furniture. From south to north, from east to west, how many houses do you think I have? I'd better get the whole house next time."

Chen Jisheng had already opened a mouth for Lao Liu, and he would make a lot of money if he came and went, so he also ordered him not to fool people with light objects.

"Then please! Keep plenty of candies."

After hearing what Chen Jisheng said, Lao Liu was overjoyed, he was going to make it!He was not sure about other places. Among the various trust stores in Sijiu City, the most accumulated goods were old furniture and old clothes.The trust store has its own business model, which can be consigned or sold directly. Over the years, there have been less consignments and more direct sales. The goods that come in are from the big ones and the small ones come out, so the more they save.

It has not been easy to catch up in the past ten years. There are many furniture sellers and few furniture purchasers. Trust stores are public transactions and cannot refuse to accept them. Trust stores in Sijiucheng have accumulated a huge amount of various furniture.

The number of red and yellow ones alone is also extremely shocking. Old Liu is confident about this. He has worked in four trust stores and it was always like this.

"Okay! Just do this!

In addition, I also want some scattered furniture, with three conditions: yellow, red, and high-quality.

When it is delivered, it will be piled as it is today, and the price will still be based on yours. "

After high-fiving Lao Liu and watching them leave, Chen Jisheng felt sweet in his heart. Now that he has inherited something from his family, he will have a few more babies in the future. In the future, one baby will be given to all the gangsters, and they will be able to rest on their laurels.

After collecting the furniture sent by Lao Liu, he continued to receive things. The carriage from the steel rolling mill had just left, and the last two trucks of ice cubes had arrived. After handling these, he contacted Lao Ma again.

After confirming that Lao Ma will come tonight, Chen Jisheng is busy preparing things for Lao Ma. It is a difficult problem to ensure the quality of meat in summer. The best way is to marinate it.

Chen Jisheng did not have this condition, so he could only use ice cubes. He threw twenty-five pieces of ice cubes into oil drums and built a simple cold storage in the backyard warehouse. He encountered trouble in getting the meat.

Different from rice noodles and sweets, the cold pigs, cattle and sheep are hung in strips and you can only take one at a time. The whole cow also said that Lao Ma’s place has a lot of pork, and with the frequent collection and retrieval throughout the afternoon, Chen Jisheng The energy is a bit low.

After sweating and finishing the supplies that Lao Ma asked for, Chen Jisheng felt as if he was drunk when he walked. One foot was high and the other was low, and his center of gravity was a little unstable.

It seems that the biggest obstacle in getting supplies in the future is your own energy. If there is a large amount of money coming in and out, you need to recharge your energy in advance to avoid trouble.

After leaving the door open for Lao Ma and riding Lao Liu's little devil's bicycle, Chen Jisheng returned home slowly.

I came back a little early today. The three sisters haven't gone home yet. The food is similar to yesterday, canned beef and ham, but the steamed buns are made of pure white flour.

I've been a little busy these two days and haven't had time to go to the vegetable market. It seems that I will have to leave the grocery shopping to the three of them in the future. I am not sure about my time here.

The family had another delicious meal, and Chen Jisheng explained the ownership of the bicycle. It was just Chen Xiaobao carrying Chen Xue.

Today I have exhausted too much energy. I originally thought of asking Widow Qin to try to see if she could use yin to replenish yang, but now it seems she is powerless.

Lying on his bed, Chen Jisheng continued to put in and out the .40 bullets just like last night. This time he only counted more than [-] times before falling asleep.

It was still a dreamless night until dawn. The biological clock was very accurate. It was still 05:30. Chen Jisheng took a deep breath and felt as full of energy as yesterday.

Now that the scope has narrowed a bit, Chen Jisheng feels that it is most likely still affected by space, and harvesting yin and replenishing yang is a bit illusory.

Buying breakfast today is still the same, but Chen Jisheng didn't eat it at home. The eldest sister needs to dry it for a while. There is no need to go with the three sisters. Let's go and see the yard first.

I got on my big defense and hurried all the way. It took me more than 20 minutes to get to the yard. I opened the door and checked. The old horse was doing things properly.

From the warehouse to the outer courtyard, everything was cleaned. The ice cubes in the oil barrels were gone, the melted water was clean, the supplies were gone, and there were three new bicycles in the warehouse.

This Lao Ma is similar to me. I asked Lao Ma about his family situation at Lao Fan, and it seemed that Lao Ma also did the same thing.

There are three bicycles, two permanent [-]-gauge bicycles and one permanent large [-]-meter bicycle, which are obviously prepared for the siblings at home.

Both sides have concerns, and both sides know each other's concerns, so that the business can last long. As for the quantity issue, a batch of such materials in a four-nine city every day will not cause any trouble.

The reason is that the supply of light industrial materials and agricultural products is tight, there are more monks and less rice, and people's stomachs are empty. If a small stone drops, there will be ripples.

After putting away his bicycle, he was about to go out for breakfast when the iron gate of the front yard was opened. Hearing the sound, Chen Jisheng took out an M14 and just loaded the magazine and prepared to pull the bolt. He put it back and replaced it with an M6. An M[-] saber.

Yesterday I was only thinking about getting the magazine and forgot to stock the butter on the new gun. As soon as I touched the bolt, there was a layer of butter. If I pulled the trigger, it would most likely explode the chamber.

He walked into the backyard porch with the knife in hand and looked through the crack in the door. It turned out that he was scaring himself and it was Lao Liu's people who came.

The same goes for this guy. He didn't say hello in advance. It was obvious when he thought about it. He didn't agree on a delivery time with him yesterday. It was a shame that he left the door open for Lao Ma, otherwise there would be a lot of excitement outside the yard today.

Old Liu didn't know what he was thinking. He immediately bought twenty or thirty three-wheelers to deliver things here. Maybe he took advantage of the cool weather in the morning to work?
