The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 201, Phoenix

Time passed quietly in the ordinary, and a few days passed quickly.

Early on the weekend morning, Li Weiguo woke up early.

He quickly got up, put on his clothes, and started to wash up.

After a while, after washing up, he took two cornmeal steamed buns and two eggs from the space, made a simple breakfast, and then Li Weiguo picked up his satchel and walked out of the hospital.

After leaving the yard and looking in the direction of Wangfujing, Li Weiguo went straight to the nearest bus stop.

Today he planned to go to the department store and bought Yu Yu's bicycle as a surprise for her. However, he had other things to do and couldn't take this girl with him, so he set off by himself and would ride the bicycle back directly to her. That’s it.

After leaving Nanluogu Lane, we walked for a few minutes and soon arrived at the nearest bus stop.

During the weekend break, there are still a lot of people traveling. This early in the morning, there are many people waiting for the bus at the platform. There are twenty or thirty men and women.

Mo Yue waited for four or five minutes before the direct bus to Wangfujing arrived. As soon as the bus stopped, a group of people crowded on it.

Although Wangfujing was not far away, the bus stopped and stopped, and it took Li Weiguo nearly twenty minutes to reach the department store.

Although department stores are not as crowded as at the end of the year on weekends, there is still a lot of traffic on weekdays. In addition, department stores have a complete range of supplies. Many people who need to buy things will come early in the morning to catch up. They can be seen from a long distance away. There are long queues of people at the nine exits and people are constantly queuing back.

Looking at the long queue, it was estimated that there would still be a long queue, so Li Weiguo didn't waste any time and quickly walked over to find a queue with fewer people and got in line.

After waiting in line for almost twenty minutes, Li Weiguo followed the flow of people and squeezed into the business hall on the first floor.

It was easier once he entered the business hall. He had been to department stores several times, and Li Weiguo was already familiar with the road. He found the direction of the stairs and squeezed left and right. He quickly crossed the flow of people and ran to the stairs. He jumped up to the third floor and went straight to the bicycle. Exclusive area.

Although there are many people at the bicycle counter, there are very few customers paying to buy bicycles. Most of them are just here to enjoy the ride.

After passing through the crowd of onlookers, Li Weiguo walked straight to the counter.

"Comrade, I want a Phoenix 26."

Walking closer, Li Weiguo took out his bicycle ticket and gestured.

The saleswoman who was holding a knitting needle and knitting a sweater at the counter heard the sound and glanced up at the ticket in Li Weiguo's hand to confirm that it was not for her entertainment, and then put down the knitting needle and sweater in her hand.

"Okay, Phoenix 26, 165, and a bicycle ticket. Do you want to choose it yourself or should I choose it for you?"

"Please help me choose"

"Okay, wait."

After saying that, the saleswoman turned around to choose a car. After a while, she quickly pushed a brand new Phoenix 26 big bar and came back: "This one is OK, a brand new Phoenix 26, it has been adjusted."

Li Weiguo looked back and forth a few times, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he nodded and said, "Okay, this is the car. Could you please help me issue a ticket?"

"Ok."

After issuing the ticket, Li Weiguo took the ticket and handed over the bicycle ticket and money. After receiving the invoice, he picked up the bicycle and left from another staircase with ease.

After leaving the department store, I got on my new bike and rode straight to the nearest police station.

Not to mention, the feeling of riding on these two or six big bars is completely different.

Although the 26-bar is not as strong and durable as the 28-bar and is popular, its wheel diameter is slightly smaller, only 26 inches, or 66 centimeters, making it more suitable for women or shorter people to ride and travel.

Unlike the 28-bar, the legs are slightly shorter. When you ride on it, you have to tiptoe to step on the pedal and twist your butt back and forth, which is very annoying.

Not long after, when he arrived at the nearest police station, Li Weiguo familiarly found the police officer responsible for smashing the steel seal. He spent two yuan, applied the license plate and smashed the steel seal. After a set of procedures, the car was considered legal property, and others could not easily take it. If you dare to steal, it will be easy to find.

After all, industrial coupons have not yet come out at this time, and not many people can afford to buy bicycles at home. The number of bicycles in each street and neighborhood committee is known, so you can check them accurately.

After buying the bicycle, most of today's work was done. He raised his left hand and looked at his watch. It was only eight or nine o'clock at this time. Li Weiguo was not in a hurry. It was still early, so he rode his new bike slowly on the road. While admiring the surrounding scenery, ride slowly towards Beixinqiao.

Ever since he met Tong Dahai at the trust store when he moved last time, Li Weiguo made an appointment with him to help keep some of the good items he received. He would go there to collect the goods every half a month.

From last year to now, Tong Dahai has helped him collect more than 20 items, each time about ten items. Although there are not many items, each item is of high quality. In addition, with the current shortage of food, the old people and the young who have pawned their family property must not be able to live in a difficult life. No, I just don’t know how Tong Dahai’s harvest has been lately.

After riding leisurely for about twenty minutes, Li Weiguo arrived at the Beixinqiao Trust Store.

When I arrived at the end of the field, I found a place to park my car at the door and walked straight into the acquisition department.

As soon as he entered the purchasing department, Tong Dahai saw him at the counter. There was no one in the store at this time, so he was sitting there alone. When he saw Li Weiguo coming in, Tong Dahai quickly stood up and said hello.

"Hey, Mr. Li, you are here."

"Master Tong, I have a lot of free time today."

"Haha, it's still early, and it's normal to have some free time." Tong Dahai replied with a smile, but he looked like he wasn't in a good mood, and he felt depressed.

"Master Tong, what's wrong with you? Are you out of energy? Didn't you sleep well?" Li Weiguo asked with concern.

Tong Dahai was silent for a moment without replying. He turned around and shouted inside, asking his apprentice to come out and keep an eye on the store. Then he gave Li Weiguo a look and motioned for the two of them to go to the warehouse behind to talk.

When they arrived at the backyard warehouse area, they found a corner. Tong Dahai pulled Li Weiguo and bowed and said, "Master Li, the recent harvest is not very good. I'm sorry for you. I have only kept three old items in the past half month. "

Li Weiguo raised his eyebrows, something was wrong.

It stands to reason that when supplies are scarce, these antiques and other old objects should be collected more easily. It makes no sense that we can't even afford to eat, and we still hang on to these useless objects.

Looking at Tong Dahai's hesitant expression, Li Weiguo felt that something was wrong, so he asked doubtfully: "Master Tong, has something happened?"

Tong Dahai glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then explained in a low voice: "Our trust store had a new manager last month. After he came, he made drastic changes. Our acquisition department is the key target for transformation.

Most of the high-quality old items that were commissioned and sold to the store were sold by him. With him watching, I couldn't find an excuse to keep the good things I liked, so I only kept three items this week. This was collected two days ago. "

"You collect it and sell it right away? Is that so awesome?"

Li Weiguo was surprised. In this era, antiques were not taken seriously and there was little enthusiasm for collecting them. How could this trust manager be able to give you the best sales?

If this was placed in a department store, wouldn't this kind of talent have to take off on the spot?

Seeing Li Weiguo's misunderstanding, Tong Dahai quickly explained: "He didn't just turn around and sell them. He would secretly sell the items in the store every once in a while when others weren't paying attention. To whom specifically?" , I don’t know, anyway, the money is correct, just like what I did for you.”

"Ok?"

Li Weiguo looked solemn and frowned immediately.
