Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Master Zhao lit up his pipe and took a deep breath.

He exhaled a cloud of thick white smoke, squinted his eyes and asked: "What kind of taste do you want, Xiao Chu? Tell me, I, Lao Zhao, have been doing carpentry for so many years, I dare not say anything else, but I still have some knowledge."

"For furniture, I want to use the best wood! Huanghuali, red sandalwood, what do you think?"

"hiss--"

Master Zhao took a deep breath and started coughing.

Pointing at Chu Tian, ​​he was speechless for a long time.

"You, little brother, do you know how expensive these things are?"

The middle-aged woman next to him couldn't help but say, "That's right, young man, this is no joke, these woods are all astronomical in price!"

Chu Tian smiled, calmly took out a stack of bills from his bag and gently placed it on the table.

Looking at the thick stack of banknotes on the table, Master Zhao and the middle-aged woman were stunned.

Who has ever seen so much money these days!!!

Then, Master Zhao began to hesitate.

He has never taken on such a big job in his life.

If this is done well, you will gain both fame and fortune!

However, if this goes wrong, you will lose everything!

Master Zhao swallowed his saliva and said with some stammering, "Little brother, it's not that I, Old Zhao, am ungrateful, but your request is really..."

Chu Tian understood Master Zhao’s concerns, which were simply that he was afraid of messing things up.

He pushed the stack of money on the table forward and said, "Master Zhao, I have confidence in you! This stack is just a deposit. As long as you do a good job, I can introduce you to my friends!"

Master Zhao looked at the money on the table, then at Chu Tian, ​​and finally gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh: "Okay! Little brother, you think so highly of me, Old Zhao. If I refuse again, it will seem hypocritical! I'll take this job! Just carry it!"

"By the way, little brother, I haven't asked you what your name is yet?"

"My last name is Chu, and my name is Chu Tian."

"Okay, I, Old Zhao, will remember this."

Seeing that Master Zhao agreed, Chu Tian smiled and said, "Master Zhao, then it's settled! You see, when is it convenient for you to come to my house and we can discuss the specific details."

"Tomorrow! I'll go to your house tomorrow! This renovation is no small matter, it needs careful planning!"

As he spoke, Chu Tian took out a small notebook from his pocket, tore off a page of paper, wrote down the address, and handed it to Master Zhao.

"This is the address of my house. Once you enter the yard, go straight in and it's the house at the end."

"Okay! I will be there on time tomorrow!" Master Zhao took the note and carefully put it in his pocket.

After sitting for a while, Master Zhao enthusiastically saw Chu Tian out the door.

Only after watching Chu Tian walk away did he turn around and go back into the house.

Go back inside.

His wife asked quickly: "This guy doesn't look like a rich man from the way he's dressed. With so much money, could it be that..."

Master Zhao glared at her and said, "What do you know? They think highly of me, Old Zhao. All right, hurry up and cook. I have to think carefully about how to do this job well for Xiao Chu tomorrow!"

……

The next morning, Master Zhao got up early.

After packing up, he went straight to Chu Tian's house.

Arrived at the gate of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

……

Master Zhao walked along the blue brick path into the yard, unable to stop mumbling to himself.

This courtyard looks quite old, and the young man is not dressed elegantly, so how could he be so generous?

When he reached the door of the first room, he knocked tentatively.

"Master Zhao is here, please come in!" Chu Tian greeted warmly and welcomed Master Zhao into the house.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Xiao Chu. I left early in the morning, just in case I delayed your work."

Master Zhao walked into the house and looked it over from top to bottom.

Although the house is a bit old, it is kept clean and tidy, and it can be seen that the owner is a meticulous person.

"Xiao Chu, how are you going to decorate this house?"

Master Zhao took out the small notebook and pen he carried with him and prepared to take notes.

"I plan to replace the doors and windows with new ones, re-pave the floor, repair the roof, and repaint the walls to make the house brighter."

Chu Tian spoke as he gestured.

Master Zhao nodded as he listened, then began to walk around the room.

From time to time, he knocked on the wall with his hands, measured the size with a tape measure, and finally wrote it down in a notebook.

After coming out of the main room, Master Zhao went to the ear room and checked it carefully inside and out.

As the two were talking, Yi Zhonghai walked out of his house.

He saw Chu Tianzheng and a strange man standing in the yard at a glance, and couldn't help feeling curious.

"Hey, Xiaotian, this is..." Yi Zhonghai walked up and asked with a smile.

"Uncle, let me introduce you. This is Master Zhao. I hired him to help me decorate my house."

"Renovation?" The old man was stunned for a moment, looking at Chu Tian in disbelief, "Xiaotian, your house is in good condition, why do you suddenly want to renovate it?"

"Isn't this just to live more comfortably?"

Chu Tian said with a smile, but secretly complained in his heart that this old guy was about to start his preaching again.

Sure enough, when Yi Zhonghai heard this, he became unhappy and started to criticize Chu Tian.

"Comfortable? I think you have too much money to burn!"

"Xiao Chu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but even though you have some money now, you have to learn to be thrifty and not squander it like this!"

"Look at you, this house is fine, why are you spending so much money on renovations?"

"Besides, it's okay to live in a rough place. When you get married and have children, you will have a lot of things to spend money on. If you don't save money now, what will you do in the future?"

Chu Tian sneered in his heart. This old guy was trying to take his money again!

"Uncle, what you said is really wrong. I am young and strong. If I don't want to spend money now, do I have to wait until I am old and can't walk to spend it?"

"Besides, I'm young now, shouldn't I be nicer to myself?"

"My mother is in good health now, my sister is still young, and I don't have any elderly people to support. Why should I keep this money if I don't spend it?"

The old man was choked speechless by Chu Tian's words.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more.

But in the end, he sighed helplessly and turned back to the house.

"This old guy is just a dog that can't change its nature!"

Chu Tian looked at the old man's back and cursed in his heart.

Then he turned to Master Zhao and said, "Master Zhao, let's continue..."

……

When Yi Zhonghai returned to the house, he felt like there was a stone blocking his heart. He was angry and depressed.

He had originally hoped that Chu Tian could save some money so that he could take care of him in his old age.

I didn't expect this guy to be such a spendthrift, using the money he saved up to renovate his house!!!
