Rebirth 1982 Be the stubborn master

Chapter 85 Purchase
Riding a bicycle, the three went straight to Liujiazhuang in the suburbs. According to Zhang Fan, the eight-step bed was hidden in a family in Liujiazhuang.

Liujiazhuang was not far from Sijiu City, they rode for more than two hours, and it was past eleven o'clock when they arrived at Liujiazhuang.

Seeing two bicycles driving into the village, a group of children greeted them with cheers and looked at them curiously. When they saw Natalia, they couldn't help whispering, and some even exclaimed and shouted to go back to the village. In the village, more people rushed over after a while.

Even in the suburbs of Forty-Nine City, the chance of seeing a foreigner can be counted every year. It is normal not to see a foreigner in a lifetime. When suddenly seeing such a beautiful mixed-race girl approaching, how could one not crowd around and watch.

Fearing that she might not get used to it, Du Kang took a peek at Natalia, with a flat expression, obviously used to being watched like a celebrity.

Zhang Fan took them to a family's house, and then chased them away, "What are you doing? It's because foreigners have something to see. Let's go home and eat."

The crowd took two steps away, then huffed and crouched on the wall to watch, one, two, three, and soon dozens of heads appeared on the surrounding walls, watching curiously.

A couple in their 50s came out to greet them with a few children. Zhang Fan helped to introduce, "This is the buyer of the eight-step bed. I'll bring him over to have a look. If it's suitable, we'll talk about the price today."

"Please take a seat, please."

Seeing Natalia, the two of them seemed very nervous, and they couldn't even speak well. They hurriedly asked the children to move a bench for them to sit down, and then stood there not knowing what to say.

To ease the embarrassment, Du Kang reached into his pocket, took out a handful of white rabbit toffee, and handed it to a smaller child.

"Eat, this is a gift from Uncle."

However, seeing those children's clothes, Du Kang had the urge to withdraw his hand.Each child was wearing patched clothes, and some sleeves still had a thick layer of snot that had long since worn away.

Compared with the three of them, they are not at the same level at all.

Fortunately, he held back, his family was poor when he was a child, so why not himself.

This is the real face of this country. It is poor and backward, but the country refuses to admit defeat. It stands up abruptly under the difficulties of foreign countries and rises rapidly at a speed that amazes Western countries. People no longer dare to despise it. .

Let the people of the country dare to be upright, and shout "I am Chinese" in a tone full of pride.

The children didn't dare to pick it up at all, but Du Kang urged him again and again, and saw his father nodding, so he took it, shouted "Thank you uncle", and ran out to play, and soon the children's joyful laughter came from outside.

Natalia looked at his pockets. Sitting in the back seat of the car, she could see that Du Kang's pockets were flat, and there was nothing in them. How could there be so many toffees.

"You want it too?"

Du Kang took out a few toffees and handed them to her, with two pieces of chocolate on them.

Natalia took the toffee, leaned over to him and asked curiously, "I clearly saw that you didn't have anything in your pocket, how did you do it?"

"magic."

"It's almost magic." Natalia didn't believe it at all, and thought he was doing magic, putting the candy in a place where she couldn't see it, and turning it out when needed.

But I don't know that Du Kang puts the toffee in the space, and he can conjure as many objects as the space is, which is not comparable to magic at all.

But from the perspective of others, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is magic.

It happens that he can use the excuse that he knows magic to get things out. As long as it is not too exaggerated, others will think that his magic is superb and will not think about it in other ways.

Immediately, seeing Zhang Fan and the three had strange expressions, Du Kang coughed dryly and said, "Take us to have a look."

Just now, his behavior with Natalia always seemed to be flirting.

"Okay, okay, this is a bed that my grandfather made when he got married. It has a history of more than 90 years. If it wasn't for my son who was in a hurry to spend money when he got married, he wouldn't have sold it at all."

The three of them went in and saw this huge eight-step bed in the bedroom.

From a distance, it looks like a small house, with carved eaves on the front and a round door in the middle. When you walk in and look carefully, you can see that there are carved towers, landscapes, flowers and figures everywhere inside and outside the furniture. Exquisite and beautiful, it can be called a unique antique work of art.

It's a pity that it has been used for many years, and many places are damaged. The front pedals have disappeared, and some carvings have disappeared.

The shabby quilts spread randomly on it looked even more shabby.

However, considering that it has been used for nearly 100 years, and the family is still using it, it is very good to have such a state. It is a perfect eight-step bed after going back for maintenance and repair.

Natalia was also amazed. She never expected such a poor family to have such a huge and exquisite piece of furniture.

Going around the eight-step bed, Du Kang confirmed the condition of the eight-step bed, and said, "It's in good condition. How much are you going to sell for this eight-step bed?"

"one thousand."

Du Kang glanced at him, seeing that they were well-dressed and there were foreigners there, thinking that they were stupid and had a lot of money, and the lion opened his mouth to ask for more money.

Although he has a lot of money, he has no interest in being taken advantage of.

"If it is intact, 1000 yuan is not expensive, but yours is too dilapidated, and you have to ask the master to repair it after you go back. I will give you five hundred at most."

This... the man was in a hurry, and he never thought that Du Kang would cut off half of the price at once.

Zhang Fan also frowned, and said, "You're asking for a lot of money, Xiao Du, if you can't do it, let's go to the next one. I found three eight-step beds for you. If this one doesn't work, let's go to other places, there will always be something you need." of."

"No, five hundred is five hundred, I'll sell it."

Hearing that they were leaving, the man hurriedly called to stop them and nodded in agreement.

The heartache he said was actually a sigh of relief. He wanted to sell this bed a long time ago, but no one wanted it. After selling it for three years, the highest bid was only [-]. Now it can be sold for [-] more. What's wrong? agree.

Seeing that he agreed, Du Kang first gave him ten pieces of Great Unity as a deposit, and said, "You clean it up today, and I will bring someone to take it away tomorrow. What do you think?"

"No problem, I will pack it up."

On the way back, Zhang Fan enthusiastically explained, "If you want to repair the eight-step bed, you can come to me. I will introduce you to a master. The repair will definitely be better than the new one."

Of course he is not for Du Kang, but for the introduction fee.

Helping Du Kang buy antiques and cultural relics is not free. Du Kang will give him a certain introduction fee. Take this time for example, Du Kang gave him 30 yuan, which is comparable to half a month's salary. How can he do such a good business? Not much to fight for.

"Thank you for your kindness, I am a master carpenter, I can repair it myself, no need for others."

Zhang Fan...

It's too early to say that you can repair eight-step beds.
