Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After several days of nourishing with Lin Wencui's chicken soup, Sun Zhengguo couldn't take it anymore and said he was too weak to be nourished.

Chicken soup tastes good, but you can’t drink it every day. The key is that others are greedy. Didn’t you see the expressions of the people in the compound?

I wish I could even take my own pot away. The shameless old lady Jia Zhang has come to ask for it twice, saying that her daughter-in-law is pregnant! You also want to nourish yourself. Bah, I think you want to nourish yourself, right?

Under her son's "earnest teachings", Lin Wencui stopped her spiritual feast, and the entire compound calmed down and resumed a "peaceful" life.

Half a month later, in the Sun family's ear room.

"Brother, can you take me with you? I can give you some advice and help you move your things."

After Sun Zhengan finished speaking, he did not forget to raise his arms, showing his underdeveloped muscles.

Today is the weekend again. Sun Zhengguo just returned to his room after practicing martial arts when he was pestered by Sun Zhengan.

"Okay, stop showing off. Your muscles are not good enough to look at. If you want to play, go ahead. Why are you helping me carry things?"

Sun Zhengguo looked at his brother who was acting weird and said helplessly.

"Hehe..., you can't compare with big brother. I haven't practiced martial arts for a few days. Unlike you, big brother, you are a one-in-a-million martial arts genius! Even grandpa can't compare to you."

Upon hearing that Sun Zhengguo was willing to take him with him, Sun Zhengan immediately gave him a wave of flattery.

After breakfast, Sun Zhengguo rode away on his bike with Sun Zhengan, amid Lin Wencui's nagging.

As the two brothers grew up, one bed was no longer enough, not to mention now there was Lin Jiguo, who often came to play and occasionally stayed for a short time. The pain of three brothers squeezing into one bed was so unimaginable.

Sun Zhengguo is not short of money, so he wants to buy a bed, and Sun Zhengguo plans to buy an antique bed, which is both practical and value-preserving, killing two birds with one stone.

Over the past year, since Sun Zhengguo had some money in his pocket, he has visited the trust store several times and bought some small gadgets that are easy to store and maintain their value.

Soon, the two brothers arrived at Dongzhimen. There was a large trust store on Qianmen Street of Dongzhimen. Sun Zhengguo was very familiar with the salesmen there because he had come here often this year.

After parking the car, the brothers walked into the store.

"Brother, what are we doing here? This isn't a second-hand store."

Sun Zhengan asked in confusion.

"Of course I come here to buy things. The things here are cheap and affordable. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he ignored Sun Zhengan. After all, the trust store only sold second-hand goods, so it was normal for Sun Zhengan not to understand.

"Brother Liu is busy."

Seeing a familiar salesperson, Sun Zhengguo greeted him.

"It's Xiaosun. What are you going to buy today? Do you want me to introduce you to something?"

The one called Brother Liu by Sun Zhengguo asked with a smile on his face.

"That's what I've been asking for, Brother Liu. Today we're going to buy a big bed. The material should be better. If it's a few years old or well maintained, that would be even better. As for the rest, Brother Liu, you can take care of it."

After listening to Sun Zhengguo's description, Brother Liu's face was full of smiles. This was a big order, and if it was successful, he would definitely get a commission.

"Okay! Come on, sir. I'll take you to the warehouse to have a look. All these big items are in the warehouse."

The three of them came to the warehouse and opened the door. They saw all kinds of furniture inside, some were broken, some were intact, and all were well maintained.

Brother Liu brought the two brothers to where the beds were placed.

Sun Zhengguo took a look and found that many of the ones were incomplete, so he put them aside for the time being. However, there were three intact ones, all of which looked good, so he pointed at them and asked Brother Liu who was standing beside him.

"Brother Liu, can you tell me about these three beds? If they are suitable, I will buy them."

"Okay, of these three beds, two are from the Republic of China period, one is made of black mahogany, another is made of rosewood, and the remaining one is from the mid-Qing Dynasty, made of small-leaf red sandalwood, and of course it is the most expensive."

After Brother Liu finished speaking, he looked at Sun Zhengguo and continued.

"The prices of the two Republic of China paintings are similar, 40 yuan each, while the small-leaf red sandalwood one from the Qing Dynasty costs 120 million yuan each."

Sun Zhengan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but gasp when he heard this. He thought to himself, "If I buy such an expensive bed, my mom will probably nag me for a year."

Sun Zhengguo was not too surprised after hearing the offer. To be honest, if this Qing Dynasty red sandalwood bed were placed in later times, it would probably cost at least seven figures. After thinking about it for a while, he made a decision.

"Brother Liu, what's the lowest price you can sell that small-leaf red sandalwood painting from the Qing Dynasty for? If it works, I'll buy it. If not, I'll just buy one from the Republic of China, right?"

"How about this, this bed was put here for consignment. It's been a long time since it was sold because the price was high. I won't make any commission, so I'll just give you a base price, which must not be less than 110 million yuan. What do you think?"

After hearing the price, Sun Zhengguo pretended to be in deep thought, but he had actually made up his mind. He would buy it even if the price didn't drop a cent. But buying things is like this, you can't agree too readily, otherwise, when you buy other things, people will definitely take you as a sucker.

Brother Liu saw that Sun Zhengguo was considering it, so he didn't say anything. After all, it cost so much money, so he must think it through carefully.

After a moment, Sun Zhengguo spoke.

"Okay, Brother Liu, I believe you. I want this bed. I like it!"

Seeing that Sun Zhengguo agreed, Brother Liu felt relieved and thought, "Damn, this bed is finally sold. It wasn't easy!"

In fact, this bed can still make money. They run a trust store, not a charity. How can they not make money?

Sun Zhengguo didn't care what Brother Liu thought. He felt he had made a profit by buying the bed and was very satisfied.

In this way, both parties hit it off and were happy.

"By the way, Brother Liu, I need to take a look and buy some other furniture."

"Take a look. If you find something suitable, I'll give you the cheapest price."

Maybe it was because he successfully closed a big deal, Brother Liu seemed a little overwhelmed at the moment.

The two brothers looked for a while, picked and chose, and bought two desks and two wardrobes, all made of ordinary wood, and spent only 40 yuan in total.

Seeing that there were still many good things in the warehouse, although he was envious, Sun Zhengguo no longer wanted to buy any more. If he bought too much, he would have no place to put them. He would wait until he got a job and a house in the future, and then he would buy a complete set of furniture.

After they finished their selection, they left the warehouse and returned to the trust store.
