The next morning, Li Weidong found a donkey cart and rushed to Rouge Alley.
In the alley, she even bumped into three to five men who had just come out of the courtyard.
Zhang Yunshang pulled a long face when he saw Li Weidong disturbing his sleep so early in the morning.
"Are you afraid that I'll run away or something?”
"How can I? If you really run away, I can move in.”
Li Weidong did not treat himself as an outsider.
"Come in together. I knew you couldn't wait, so I opened the bed for you last night and wrapped it up.”
Zhang Yunshang shook his head and called the man who drove the donkey cart in.
He was already so old. She couldn't possibly ask him to move the bed, right?
In the living room, just as Zhang Yunshang had said, the entire red sandalwood bed had been broken down into pieces and wrapped up with something. Not only could it prevent collisions, but it also prevented people from seeing the red sandalwood.
Li Weidong had long known that the bed could be disassembled. Otherwise, it would be difficult to transport such a big thing.
The key was that the carpenter's craftsmanship was good. He did not use a single nail throughout the entire process. It was all a mortise and tenon structure. After assembling it, it was tightly sewn and especially firm.
When the coachman moved the last recliner out, Li Weidong gave Zhang Yunshang a look.
"You received it?"
"Yes."
Zhang Yunshang nodded and did not say anything else.
This kind of thing was a tacit understanding.
Both parties had to bear a certain risk, which was why Li Weidong chose to use a fake name. He did not want to get into trouble.
"Then let's meet again next month."
Li Weidong turned around and left.
He came to the house so early today just to move the bed. The most important thing was to make sure that the transaction went smoothly.
This was related to whether he could eat white noodles in the future.
It was their first time working together, so they had to be careful.
Zhang Yunshang looked at Li Weidong's disappearing back and touched his chin with his hand. His eyes were distant, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Li Weidong directed the man to drive the donkey cart to an empty space near his house and then unloaded the things.
Although the man was puzzled as to why Li Weidong didn't take him home, he didn't say anything since Li Weidong was willing to pay. He unloaded the things and left in the donkey cart.
After Li Weidong made sure that there was no one around, he put the rosewood bed into the farm's warehouse. As for the lounge chair made of jujube wood, he picked it up and walked home.
"You're back? Why didn't you find someone to help?"
Zhang Xiuzhen saw Li Weidong carrying the recliner and went forward to help him.
"It was just a reclining chair. The bed was a little big, so I didn't pull it back.”Li Weidong explained.
The excuse he gave when he went out in the morning was to pull the furniture.
"I've already found a master to clean up the house for you. He will come over later. You can tell him how you want to clean up the house.”
Zhang Xiuzhen nodded, not suspecting anything.
However, the recliner that Li Weidong brought back looked quite new and had a nice style.
"Mom, do you think we can look for Master without paying?”Li Weidong suddenly asked.
"You're not paying?"
Zhang Xiuzhen did not react for a moment.
"Yes, directly give them food."
With Zhang Yunshang's connections, Li Weidong did not lack food, but he had no money on hand.
This was awkward.
He couldn't possibly go to the black market to sell food, could he?
"Food? Are you stupid?"
Zhang Xiuzhen glared at Li Weidong.
Usually, when a master worked at home, they would be considered a good family if they could manage a meal at noon.
Who would use food to exchange for wages?
Wasn't that a fool?
"I was just thinking that food is easier to get than money.”Li Weidong wasn't annoyed. He spread his hands and said.
"You're not selling your wild boar meat?"
Zhang Xiuzhen didn't quite understand Li Weidong's peculiar thoughts.
"Of course, but I have a way to directly exchange it for white flour. It's even easier than selling it for money. There's almost no risk.”
"Then change it to white flour." Zhang Xiuzhen said without hesitation.
"What about the money?"
"I'll think of a way for you to get the money. Don't worry about it.”
Zhang Xiuzhen had already made up her mind.
In the past, because of this and that matter, the family had been living a tight life. They could not bear to eat white noodles.
Now that he had the opportunity to get more white flour, how could he not want it?
As for money, she had decided to go back to her parents 'home and borrow some from them.
Moreover, she had a big brother who had money.
If she had borrowed money for no reason, her sister-in-law would definitely have been blind.
However, if he used the flour to exchange for some money, the other party would definitely be very happy.
However, in terms of price, it could not be compared to the black market.
It was not that she wanted to take advantage of her family, but she did not want Li Weidong to take risks in the black market. If he was caught, it would not matter if he lost some money.
Li Weidong wasn't registered in the city yet. Even if he wasn't arrested, there was a high possibility that he would be chased back.
Now, she treated Li Weidong like her own son.
He didn't want to take any risks.
If Li Shuqun had not said that he would write to his second uncle in the countryside and Li Weidong had not promised his friend, she would not have wanted Li Weidong to sell wild boar meat again.
"That's fine. I'll just bring some white flour home. Don't be scared.”
Li Weidong had taken precautions.
Since Zhang Xiuzhen was supporting him, the quantity could be slightly increased.
"Scared? Could it be that you can get two to three hundred catties of white flour back?”
Zhang Xiuzhen said casually.
Two to three hundred catties of white flour was already a lot in her eyes.
Their family's annual share of white flour did not even add up to this much.
Moreover, this was only a portion. Under normal circumstances, who would want so much white flour?
In order to fill their stomachs, many families would rather replace fine grain with coarse grain.
Around ten o'clock, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes came to the door.
Looking at the calluses on his hands, it was obvious that he did heavy work.
Zhang Xiuzhen was the one who talked about the salary. Li Weidong just dragged her to the east room that had been cleaned up and talked about his plans.
Because of the time, it was definitely impossible to make a big move.
Not to mention overthrow and rebuild.
Besides, there was no shortage of jealous people in this courtyard, so Li Weidong did not want to be so high-profile.
At least from the outside, it looked passable.
But inside, he had many more requests.
He could see the roof beam at a glance. It was definitely not possible. He had to think of a way to hang the ceiling.
The wall had to be flattened.
The floor couldn't be paved with bricks. He didn't know if there were any smooth and clean tiles or wooden floors.
The worst that could happen was to level it with cement.
In addition, he was afraid of the cold in winter. With the red sandalwood bed, he could not build a fire brick bed. He could either build a fireplace structure or add a warm water bag, which was equivalent to a heater in the future.
He also had to separate a bathroom inside and have a place to take a shower. It would be best if he could find a way to get a toilet.
He didn't want to have to go to the toilet at the entrance of the alley to take a dump on a winter night. His butt would be so cold that he couldn't feel it.
All the windows had to be replaced with new ones.
He could also fix Li Weibin's window.
Li Weidong started talking non-stop.
Moreover, the requirements he made shocked the master who was cleaning the house.
Even Zhang Xiuzhen, who was about to come up with an idea, didn't know what to say.
Is this your so-called simple cleaning?
Was money really enough?
