Zhang Yunshang was waiting for Li Weidong to fall into his trap with confidence. He did not expect Li Weidong to say such a thing, and he almost choked to death.
One had to know that he also had a share of this bed. If he were to smash it in his hands, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss?
Even though it would definitely be worth a lot of money after a few decades, there was no need to sell it at that time. He could just tear it apart and beat it into a coffin.
"I say, little brother, there's no such thing as you. I worked so hard to get a bed here, and you say that you don't have a place to put it in your house? Even if we want to bargain, we don't have to do it like this, right?”
Zhang Yunshang stared at Li Weidong helplessly, as if he would fight him to the death if he dared to refuse.
"Old Master, I'm not lying to you. The place I live in is only a few square meters, and I'm sleeping on the same bed as my brother. We can't just demolish the house, right?"
Li Weidong spread his hands and explained.
"You're not planning to take advantage of my house, are you?”Zhang Yunshang suddenly said.
"How could I? You've really misunderstood. Even if I wanted to buy it, I couldn't afford it.”Li Weidong immediately denied it.
"How about this, you can buy the bed first. If you really don't have a place to put it, just leave it with me first. When there's a place, you can move it away.”
Zhang Yunshang thought of an idea.
However, Li Weidong looked at him like he was an old liar.
Am I that stupid?
Besides, he bought the bed to sleep, not to collect it.
"Forget it. I'll go home and tidy up my house. It's just that it'll cost a lot of money. You can see how to change this bed. If it's too expensive, I really can't afford it.”Li Weidong said helplessly.
If Zhang Yunshang really believed Li Weidong's words, he would have wasted all these years.
He shook his head with slight disdain and said,"As for the bed, it's made of high-quality red sandalwood. The weight is also sufficient. In the past, it would have cost a few hundred dollars.”
"Don't keep me in suspense.”
"Alright, since you're so straightforward, then I won't hide it anymore. Who asked us to be like old friends at first sight? Let's just make a price of 800 catties of wheat!”
Hearing Zhang Yunshang's offer, Li Weidong turned around and left without saying a word.
This was no longer treating him like a fool, but rather, she wanted to pluck all his hair.
"Hey, don't go."
Zhang Yunshang was also anxious and quickly pulled Li Weidong back.
"Old Master, if you don't want to exchange, just say it. There's no need to make fun of me.
What year was this?
A new bed would only cost a few dozen yuan, and it was made of high-quality solid wood.
Besides, don't you know how difficult it is to get food these days?
800 catties of wheat?
I don't even know how you said that.
Even if you sell my 100 catties, it won't be enough.”
Li Weidong's words made Zhang Yunshang's face turn red. It was not because he was ashamed, but because he could not interrupt and was anxious.
"Who doesn't want to change? As you said, a good solid wood bed costs tens of yuan.
800 catties of wheat was ground into 80 flours, which was 600 catties. How much would it cost in the grain and oil store?
20 cents per catty!
It was only 120 yuan.
Spending more than 100 yuan on a big bed made of red sandalwood, how was it expensive?”
Zhang Yunshang also spoke eloquently, as if he was already very cheap.
"Old Master, are you playing dumb with me?
Do you think that the grain and oil store is owned by your family and you can buy as much as you want?
You're a city dweller and have food at home. Don't tell me you don't know the rules of buying food?
Go to the black market and ask around. How much is a catty of white flour? From what I know, there's no one who costs less than 80 cents.
Even if 800 catties of wheat were converted to 600 catties of white flour, it would still be 500 yuan.
Moreover, who would dare to sell such a large quantity to you?”
With the game farm, Li Weidong did not lack wheat at all. It was just a matter of sunbathing for a few more days.
However, he couldn't be a sucker.
Otherwise, he would be cut off by the other party in the future.
"Even if it's 500 yuan, you're still getting a great deal. The longer you keep this thing, the more valuable it will be.”Zhang Yunshang tried his best to explain.
"If I wanted to collect it, I could just buy an antique bed from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Was there a need to buy such a new one? I'm using it to sleep. I'm afraid I can't sleep on a bed that costs a few hundred yuan.”
Li Weidong still shook his head, as if he was determined not to buy it if the other party did not lower the price.
"Alright, then tell me, how much wheat do you want?”
Zhang Yunshang saw that this was not a solution, so he could only give in.
"Two hundred catties of wheat!" Li Weidong raised two fingers.
"Two hundred catties?"
Zhang Yunshang raised his voice several times.
"Little brother, I see that you're quite good-looking. Why are you so black-hearted? Two hundred catties, I can't even earn enough money to run errands.”
"300 catties, no more. My family only has this amount of wheat. After giving it all to you, I can only eat cornbread this winter.”Li Weidong cried bitterly.
"770 Jin." Zhang Yunshang started bargaining.
"330."
"Seven hundred!"
"400!"
"650."
"450."
Inside the house, the two of them stared at each other. One was unwilling to reduce the price any further, and the other was unwilling to increase it.
It was stuck.
Finally, Zhang Yunshang couldn't hold it in anymore and said with a sorrowful expression,""Little brother, look at me, I'm already so old. How many years do I have left to live? I just want to eat a few mouthfuls of rice before I die. Even if I go down there, I can be a full ghost.”
Li Weidong seemed to be touched. He winked hard and said,""Old Master, I know it's not easy for you. Your children aren't by your side and you're all alone. From now on, I'll send you 65 catties of wheat every month for ten months in a row. I can also visit you on the way.”
"Little brat, you must force me to curse, right? 580 catties of wheat, not a single catty less. I'll also give you a recliner.”
Zhang Yunshang glared at Li Weidong fiercely.
"Alright, who asked me to look at you as if I was looking at my dead grandfather? So let's be quick.”
Li Weidong pointed at a Luohan bed opposite the living room.
"Hehe, little brat, your eyes are quite sharp. That Arhat bed is made of mahogany. It's been around for a long time. When my father was alive, he liked to lie on it and sleep.”
Zhang Yunshang said with a smile.
He knew that Li Weidong wouldn't want this kind of furniture.
"Forget it. Since it's something that the ancestors like, I won't snatch it away. 580 catties of wheat, deal! However, I have a request."
As expected, Li Weidong was no longer thinking about the Arhat bed.
With so much food in exchange for a red sandalwood bed, people would definitely scold him for being a prodigal. However, from another perspective, he had actually profited.
The value of an item depended on who was looking at it from.
When one was about to starve to death, a steamed bun was worth more than a piece of gold.
In the same way, Li Weidong could harvest wheat continuously by sunbathing, so it was nothing in his eyes.
On the other hand, the other party was starving every day. A bed that could not be eaten or drunk in exchange for a few hundred kilograms of wheat was also profitable.
This was called taking what they needed.
"What request?"
Seeing that Li Weidong had agreed, Zhang Yunshang heaved a sigh of relief. His attitude had obviously improved.
