Zhengyangmen: Don’t date Su Meng

For lunch, of course, there was steamed corn bread and pickles, not even a piece of fried potato shreds. The food money they paid was wasted.

After dinner, everyone sat in the house and chatted. A man was holding a small basket and rolling a tobacco.

The so-called dry tobacco is made by cutting paper into small strips, then putting tobacco grown and harvested by the farmers into the paper, and then rolling it up to make dry tobacco, which is what farmers usually smoke.

The man skillfully rolled the scroll and said:

"To be honest, no matter how much money you offer me, I can't sell this bed to you. My grandfather has slept on this bed, my father has slept on it, I have slept on it, and so have my son and my grandson. Five generations of us are all related to this bed.

Tell me, can I sell it?"

Faced with such a counter-question, Han Chunming knew that he was trying to raise the price. After exchanging glances with Marquis Papa, Han Chunming stood up, clapped his hands and said:

"Okay, since you have such deep feelings for this bed, a gentleman should not take away what others like, and we cannot let you give up this relationship, so let's call it quits.

We will stay here for a while, and when the sun goes down, we will leave."

When the man heard Han Chunming's words, he immediately stopped rolling the cigarette and stared at Han Chunming for several times, as if trying to see from Han Chunming's eyes whether he was sincere.

But the man was obviously a smart guy and knew that it was not a good deal to pursue the offer.

If he took the initiative to keep her, the initiative would be handed over to the other party, and he would be at the mercy of the other party, so he forced himself to nod.

"Okay, you're welcome to come again later."

Hou Lalan also spoke at the right time.

"Okay, even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have friendship. We can still cooperate in the future. Come, I'll take a shot too. Then we'll set off. I guess other families in the village have a lot of old furniture in their homes, so we won't return empty-handed."

The man forced a smile, handed the dustpan to Hou Paolan, said "I have something else to do", and hurried out the door.

"Do you think he will sell this bed?"

Hou Paolan asked while rolling a cigarette, his tone very relaxed.

"I... think he will sell it when he comes back soon!" said Li Chengtao.

Han Chunming shook his head.

"I think he will first observe whether we really want to leave. If we are determined to leave, he will definitely keep us."

Hou Paolan also laughed out loud.

They don't worry at all that men can't sell beds.

This business itself is very unfair to men.

To put it bluntly, this bed is valuable only in the hands of Han Chunming and his people. In the hands of a man, it is just a shabby old bed that even his grandchildren don't want to sleep on. Who knows when the family runs out of firewood, it may be chopped into pieces and put into the stove.

So Han Chunming and the others were not worried at all at this time, and were even looking forward to the Taobao trip in the afternoon.

…………

Just as they expected, the man smiled and saw them out.

Han Chunming and the other two also waved goodbye, and then began to visit every household in the village. As long as they saw an old item they liked and the price was right, they would buy it directly.

The sun was setting. Han Chunming and his two companions had made a great harvest and were about to leave to catch the last bus when the man appeared.

"Brothers, you have already paid for a day's accommodation and food. If you leave now, you will lose money. If the news gets out, everyone will say I am a rip-off.

Don't leave today. Stay one night and it won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning, right?"

Han Chunming and Paolahou looked at each other and said:

"Okay, since you are so hospitable, we can't refuse you, so let's stay for another night."

"Hey, that's right, come, I'll help you."

The man stepped forward and moved a small cupboard, taking the lead, and the three of them followed, returning to the old place.

It was rare that dinner had dishes other than pickles. The three of them were tired after working the whole afternoon and were naturally very hungry. They didn't show any courtesy since they had already paid for it.

One dollar per person per day!

After dinner, it’s time for a pleasant chat.

"How did you get this afternoon?" the man took the initiative to start the conversation.

"It's okay. There are many people in the village who have old furniture. This time we only collected our favorites. We may come back to collect the rest later." Hou Polan said slowly, waving a palm-leaf fan.

"Haha, yes, the big guys in the village do have a lot of good stuff."

How could the men not know that many of the things in the hands of the big guys in the village were divided up after their family was defeated. These things belonged to their family before!

"That...that..."

The man seemed to want to speak, but he stammered and couldn't speak.

Hou Polan gave Han Chunming a wink, and the latter understood immediately.

They had discussed it in the afternoon that as long as the man expressed his intention to sell the bed, they would give him a way out. After all, the two parties were not enemies, and it would be good for both of them if the deal could be made.

"Brother, although we have collected a lot of things, we are still reluctant to part with this bed. Can you give it up?"

A smile suddenly appeared on the man's face. He clapped his hands and said excitedly:

"Hey, why didn't you tell me earlier? We can discuss the relationship between us."

Strike while the iron is hot, Han Chunming immediately started bidding.

The man took the opportunity to raise the price.

After some negotiation, the price reaches a level that both parties can accept, so let's do the deal.

Han Chunming took out the money and the man counted it happily.

"Brother, we spent so much on this bed, you may need to add two more pieces of furniture."

"Okay, just move any piece of furniture you like."

The man was in a good mood after making so much money all of a sudden, and he didn't care about one or two pieces of furniture at all.

Now, the rose chair is also in hand.

"Then you should go to bed early. I won't disturb you."

The man took the money and left happily, and then there was a quarrel between Han Chunming and Polan Hou.

"Don't even think about it. I paid for this, hahahaha."

"you……"

He got angry when he saw Han Chunming directly tore up the friendly competition agreement they had signed before.

"Good boy, so you were waiting for me here!"

"Haha, don't blame me for playing tricks on you. I really like this bed. If you find one you like later, I won't fight with you for it. That's it!"

"Okay, that sounds like a human thing to say."

Hou Polan nodded and agreed to Han Chunming's proposal. The three of them slept on one bed all night.

the next morning.

"If I had known... I wouldn't have come with you guys. It's really painful."

Li Chengtao was driving the donkey cart, and Han Chunming and the other person behind him both laughed out loud.

Because there were too many pieces of furniture, they hired a donkey cart, and the responsibility of driving the cart naturally fell on Li Chengtao.

In the afternoon, we finally returned to Sijiu City.

The first place they visited was the large courtyard house bought by Han Chunming. When Hou Paolan saw Han Chunming's collection, he was also quite shocked.

"I didn't expect you to have so many goodies hidden."

Hou Paolan picked up a piece of Tang Sancai, looked at it carefully for a moment, put it down, and started looking at the next object.
