Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

When they arrived at the consignment store on Qianmen Street, Dabao went straight to the second floor. Wei Ping was still the same as usual, lazily lying on a single sofa reading a picture book.

Qin Dabao laughed out loud and patted his shoulder. Wei Ping looked back and laughed.

"Mani buddy? Where have you been these past few months? I thought you were transferred to the frontier."

Dabao took out a box of special-supply cigarettes, put one in his mouth, and threw the rest to Wei Ping.

"Stop talking nonsense. I went to the commune down there to work as a coach. I just got transferred back to the city. Where's your brother?"

"I went to a meeting." Wei Ping took the cigarette and looked at it happily. This cigarette could only be smoked from Dabao. If he wanted to get it anywhere else, he could only get it from his third grandfather.

Wei Ping couldn't bear to smoke it, so he quickly put it away.

Dabao kicked him angrily: "Look at your bad temper. You smoke cigarettes when I give them to you. Now that I'm back in the city, how can I forget about your cigarettes?"

Wei Ping wanted to hug Dabao's shoulders, but after comparing himself with him, he realized that it was a bit difficult for him to hug Dabao, a man who was only 1.83 meters tall.

He patted Dabao instead and asked, "You were transferred to the city? Where?"

"Dongcheng Gulou Street Police Station."

"Fuck, my brother lives over there on Gulou Street. I'll go play with you there when I have time."

"No problem, hurry up, get the warehouse key, I'll pick out some furniture."

"Okay, wait for me." Wei Ping went to the director's office to get the key.

Dabao looked around at the furniture on the second floor. Most of the furniture here was European style. No one buys Chinese style furniture now because they think the style is not good enough.

Wei Ping came over quickly with a bunch of keys in his hand. He saw Dabao looking at European furniture and pulled him aside.

"What's so good about these junks? Come on, I'll take you to see something good."

Dabao knew that Wei Yuan and his friends put all the good things they received in the warehouse, and when relatives and friends came, they would show them. Outsiders could only see the things on the surface.

The warehouse was opened, and it was about 400 to 500 square meters in size. Dabao was dazzled when he entered. He didn't pick so many things when he came here last year.

Oh my god, Dabao was touching a pair of armchairs. He had seen these before. They were armchairs with double glazed dragon and ruyi patterns, made of Huanghuali wood.

Three-legged lampstand, made of red sandalwood, a large four-piece cabinet with cloud and dragon patterns,

The rosewood Qiangong bed, the Babu bed, the Huanghuali Luohan bed,

Dabao's saliva was almost dripping. In the future, any one of these things could be exchanged for a 100-square-meter apartment within the third ring road of Beijing.

But for him, it is not suitable to use them in his new home now. They are all old items, and it would be painful if they were bumped or scratched.

As a result, Dabao bought all of them and also bought a set of European-style furniture from the Republic of China period, especially a large bed and a small rocking bed.

He hired a few cart drivers to load the European furniture onto their carts and had them deliver it to Nanluoguxiang. He didn't have to worry about the drivers taking the furniture away, as these people worked there every day and Wei Ping knew them all.

Dabao paid the bill, which was three hundred and forty yuan in total. This was not cheap at all, as it was a worker's annual salary at the steel mill.

At this time, Dabao asked the cart driver to load the antique furniture such as the Qiangong bed, and he drove after them out of the city.

When they reached a deserted spot, the two of them were left wondering, "What's going on?" They weren't worried about anything else. They thought, "This young man must be rich or noble to be driving a jeep." They were simply curious. "What's the point of driving here?"

Dabao stopped the car and asked them to unload the furniture to the side. After they finished unloading, Dabao gave each of them fifty cents. The two of them left happily.

After they were far away and out of sight, Dabao waved his hand, put the furniture into the space, and drove back to Nanluoguxiang. Just as he arrived, the four carts carrying the furniture also arrived.

Dabao directed them to move inside, and the neighbors all came out to watch the fun.

Yan Bugui hurriedly came up to Dabao and said, "Hey, man, I haven't seen you for a long time. What's going on?"

Dabao really didn't expect that Lao Deng could really lose his face. He and Lao Deng had already become so estranged, but Lao Deng could still stick to him as if nothing had happened. This man is really shameless and invincible.

Dabao had no choice but to smile and pass over a cigarette: "Uncle Yan, are you taking a break instead of going to work?"

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up when he took the cigarette. Oh my god, the legendary Zhonghua cigarette, this is really good stuff. He couldn't bear to smoke it, so he quickly clamped it between his ears.

"Schools now have half a day off and half a day off, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Dabao had already directed Wobo to carry the furniture in, cutting him off mid-sentence.

Lu Xiu'e had to go back to the street for something, leaving Zuo Mingyue alone at home with a group of kids playing in the house. She saw the furniture being moved in through the window, and hurriedly asked Wenwen and Erbao Niuniu to watch over Nuannuan. They had to watch over her now, because Nuannuan had been crawling so fast that she would fall to the ground if no one was watching her.

Zuo Mingyue came out of the house, and Dabao smiled and waved his hand: "Come in quickly, it's very hot outside. I'll call you when I'm done."

Zuo Mingyue felt very happy. Ever since she got together with Dabao, she lived like a princess. She did nothing except washing two pieces of clothes.

At the police station, either Dabao or Liu Guifang cooks, and she doesn't have to get involved at all, otherwise people would say she is a very lucky person.

Zuo Mingyue entered the house. Now the front and back windows were open. There was a breeze in the house, which made it very cool. It was too hot to stay outside.

Erbao and Niuniu were about to run out, but Zuo Mingyue called them back, saying that they were moving things outside and asked them not to bump into anything.

The furniture was all moved into the house, but the bed was a problem. It was on the second floor, and the small stairs were too small to carry it up. Dabao smiled and gave them two dollars, fifty cents each, and sent them away.

Dabao released his consciousness and saw that no one was coming. He then waved his hand and put all the furniture into the space. He came to the second floor, put out the big and small beds, and placed a row of wardrobes against the wall.

The big bed was covered with yak and bear skins soaked in spiritual well water, and the small rocking bed was covered with the only snow leopard skin.

He laid handmade wool carpets on the second floor.

I put a few wolf skins on the ground downstairs to prevent the children from playing on the ground which is too cold. I also put a sofa, a tea table, a cabinet, and a bookcase on it.

He went in and out twice more and took out four large sacks from the jeep. He had to show this to the neighbors, otherwise they wouldn't know how the food was brought in.

There are more than 70 cans of milk powder, and the canned beef is gone, but there are still more than a dozen boxes of canned fruit. Put two boxes of Moutai in the wine cabinet. Dabao doesn't have much of a drinking habit, but Zuo Mingyue does, so this must be arranged.

The rice, noodles, beef, mutton, and two cleaned pheasants were taken to the kitchen of my mother's room. Dabao didn't plan to cook because there was a first-class chef in the courtyard, so it was not his turn to cook.

He took out two large watermelons from the sack, soaked one in water, cut the other in half, and placed a small table in the yard.

I washed the grapes, apples, and peaches, and placed a large plate on the small table.

After finishing the work, she went into the house, holding her daughter in one hand and Niuniu in the other, and called them to the yard to eat watermelon.

As soon as Erbao saw something delicious, he ran away. Dabao couldn't help laughing. This kid always thought about the jokes when there was something delicious.

Zuo Mingyue was curious about what furniture he had bought, so he took a piece of watermelon and ate it while going into his room.

She was stunned when she entered. Oh my god! The room that was empty just now was filled with furniture as if by magic. She was sitting on a soft leather sofa, stepping on the soft wolf skin, as if in a dream.

Zuo Mingyue placed the watermelon on the tea table and went upstairs. This upstairs was even more dreamy, with colorful carpets, a large bed covered with animal skins, a row of wardrobes, and a large dressing table.

This was a scene that Zuo Mingyue had never dared to dream of, and it appeared before her...
