"Little comrade, you've come to the wrong place. There's only old furniture here.”After sizing him up, the little old man said indifferently.
"I just want to buy old furniture, and it's best if it's a red sandalwood bed.”Li Weidong went straight to the point.
"A red sandalwood bed?"
The little old man had a strange expression.
"Who told you that there are red sandalwood beds here? Do you think everyone is a fool who can't tell good from bad?”
"No?" Li Weidong couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Of course not. Not to mention a bed made of red sandalwood, we don't even have a bed made of old wood. However, there are two beds made of parasol wood. They are estimated to be thirty to fifty years old.”The little old man asked with a smile.
"But I heard that there are antique furniture here.”Li Weidong said.
"You're here to pick up the loot? Little comrade, to tell you the truth, a few years ago, there might have been something like what you said, but now, it's definitely gone. Moreover, the old furniture here is at most from the Republic of China period. It's good-looking but useless.”The little old man explained.
Without a doubt, Li Weidong was fooled by the story again.
In his previous life, he had heard some stories from a friend who liked antiques. It was about a friendship store in Beijing in the 1970s and 1980s that specialized in selling antiques, and they were all authentic.
Currently, the Friendship Store was still closed.
Therefore, Li Weidong instinctively felt that the department store should also have one.
However, he did not expect that he would make a fool of himself.
Since he didn't have the red sandalwood furniture he wanted, Li Weidong naturally didn't want the so-called parasol bed. If he stomped hard on it, it would probably collapse.
However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly recalled the other party's subtle expression and firm expression. His heart stirred.
Moreover, the other party had just said that there was one a few years ago.
Where did he go now?
"Old sir, I'll have to trouble you to give me some pointers.”Li Weidong said.
"Don't, I can't afford to be called mister. As for connections, I'm a person with half a foot in the coffin. What connections can I have?”
The little old man shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"Old sir, are you short of food?" Li Weidong immediately used his trump card.
In fact, there was no one who did not lack food these days.
"What's wrong? You have food? I'm already so old, and my teeth aren't good.”The smile on the little old man's face faded a little.
"I can get pumpkin and wheat.”Li Weidong said.
If he had to spend money to buy it, he might feel heartache, but if he used food to exchange for it, he didn't feel anything. He even felt that he had earned it.
Even though he knew that food was more useful than money, he could not change his mindset.
This time, the little old man's expression turned completely serious.
He sized up Li Weidong again.
Judging from Li Weidong's appearance, skin, and clothes, it was obvious that he was not from a rich family that had never suffered before.
On the contrary, Li Weidong's skin was a little rough.
This was because the Host used to live in the countryside all year round. She was exposed to the wind and the sun, and could not be compared to a gigolo like Li Weimin.
"Old sir, to tell you the truth, I just arrived in the city not long ago. The pumpkin was planted at home in the past, so I secretly kept a little more. The wheat has not been handed over, so it has not been ground into flour yet.”
Li Weidong looked as honest as he could be.
"Pumpkins? If you eat too much of them, you'll get angry easily. A few are enough. How much wheat can you get?”
The little old man moved closer, clearly moved.
With his connections, it was not difficult to process wheat into flour.
"How much do you want?"
Speaking of this, Li Weidong was not afraid.
Even if he had not obtained the wheat seeds yet, he would have them sooner or later.
It was nothing more than a verbal advance.
It wouldn't be too late to plant them after two days.
The little old man did not answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment before saying,""I can help you get a bed made of red sandalwood, but you should know that this kind of thing can be treated as a family heirloom. It can't be measured by money alone.”
Even though the little old man said that it couldn't be measured with money, it was clear that he was raising the price.
"Old sir, I got that bed to sleep. Don't give me any strange things. As for the era, the closer it is, the better.”Li Weidong voiced his thoughts.
"Use it to sleep?"
This time, it was the little old man's turn to be dumbfounded.
"You made the red sandalwood bed to sleep?”
He looked at Li Weidong as if he was looking at a fool.
With money and food, what kind of furniture could he not get?
Wasn't that kind of spring bed popular in the upper class?
Lying on it was soft and comfortable.
"Of course, the doctor said that my waist is not good, so it's best to sleep on a hard wood bed. Moreover, the fragrance of red sandalwood is also good for sleep.”Li Weidong said.
This time, the little old man's expression became even stranger.
"I don't know if the smell of red sandalwood can help you sleep, but I can tell you that the antique furniture is at least a hundred years old, and the smell has long dissipated.”
If he didn't have a conscience, he would have already started to bluff when faced with a sucker who had delivered himself to his doorstep.
"How about this? I remember a friend who seems to have a bed that was made more than 20 years ago. He hasn't slept with anyone yet.”
In the end, the little old man could not resist the temptation of food.
He was already so old. Why didn't he hide at home and play with his grandchildren?
Wasn't it just three to five catties of food every month?
"Sure, then I'll have to trouble you. Other than the rosewood bed, I also need a recliner. It's sturdy and good-looking. It doesn't matter if it's an antique or not.”Li Weidong said.
"Then let's go with the wild jujube wood.”
This time, the little old man nodded without hesitation.
"Alright, then when and where do you think we should do the transaction? How much wheat do you need?" Li Weidong asked.
"My friend lives a little far away. I'll take some time to go there tomorrow. It'll take at least three to five days to go back and forth. As for the price, I can't decide without my friend. How about this, you come back in five days. I'll give you a definite answer whether it's okay or not.”The little old man said after thinking for a moment.
"No problem."
Li Weidong was also very straightforward.
Five days was just enough to ripen the wheat.
It was nothing more than squeezing with his underlings for the next few days.
The two of them made an agreement, and Li Weidong left in satisfaction.
However, when he passed by the two ladies at the door, they looked at him with a strange expression that made him puzzled.
When the little old man saw that Li Weidong had disappeared, he stopped singing and went straight home to meet his so-called 'friend'.
At the entrance of the alley of the courtyard house.
Liu Guangtian folded his hands and leaned against the wall, his eyes constantly looking at the bus stop opposite.
Ever since Li Weimin came looking for him in the morning, he had been waiting.
Unexpectedly, Li Weidong showed up very soon, but there was someone beside him. She was Li Weimin's wife, so she had to call her sister-in-law.
Moreover, the two of them were chatting and laughing as they got on the bus, which made him numb.
He couldn't keep following them, could he?
Therefore, he thought about it and decided to wait.
Anyway, it was impossible for the two of them not to come back.
At the same time, he was also muttering in his heart. Brother Min and the other party were blood brothers after all. Why were they like fire and water?
Could it be that the root was here?
