Chapter 99 Buying Furniture

Wei Sanye is not a good person!

Wei Sanye knew Du Fei first, so it is reasonable for Wei Sanye to do this favor.

Du Fei saw him hesitate, smiled and said, "If you are in trouble, I can go directly to your director."

Yang Weiguo's eyes rolled around, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Du, you come with me, you have to go to register first."

Du Fei smiled knowingly.

A few minutes later, Yang Weiguo and a middle-aged woman took Du Fei to the third floor.

There was a harsh "clattering" sound, and Yang Weiguo pushed open the iron fence door painted with silver anti-rust paint with effort.

Along the corridor, they came to the door of a warehouse.

There was a yellowed white paper on it, with the word "furniture" written in brush.

The middle-aged woman opened the door and pulled the light cord.

Several high-wattage incandescent lamps instantly illuminated the inside.

Du Fei followed him in and was finally enlightened!

Compared to here, the furniture outside is simply tattered!

Red sandalwood, wenge, huanghuali... are actually well preserved, with almost no large scratches and wear, and the wood is shiny under the light.

Du Fei was overjoyed. Fortunately, he had an idea today to ask more questions, otherwise he would have missed these good things!

In this warehouse, in addition to a large number of Chinese-style furniture that can be seen at a glance, there are also many high-quality Western-style furniture.

With a glance, he saw three or four sets of leather sofas, but it’s a pity that he can’t buy them back.

Du Fei walked in, looked left and right, and touched right.

Yang Weiguo and the middle-aged woman followed behind.

Du Fei is not a tangled character, especially when buying things, he is very straightforward. Basically, he has made up his mind, goes straight to the point, pays and leaves.

Soon he chose a Ming-style Luohan bed, which is very simple in style, not as gorgeous and complicated as the Qing Dynasty.

He also picked a pair of copper-inlaid three-layer square corner cabinets, a coffee table

with two armchairs, and a set of desks and chairs, ready to be placed on the second floor.

Du Fei planned to put the bed facing the fireplace and put a thick cotton cushion on it to use as a sofa.

A pair of two-meter-high square corner cabinets were placed on both sides of the bed.

The coffee table and two armchairs were placed on the right side of the bed, and the original eight-immortal table and chairs were placed on the left side of the kitchen door for easy dining.

As for the original camphorwood boxes and low cabinets, they were all taken to the second-floor bedroom to store things.

The old cabinet was simply eliminated.

But when the final calculation of the money was made, even though Du Fei was rich, he was a little surprised.

The prices of these good things hidden by the trust store were indeed extraordinary.

The huanghuali bed was 15 yuan, and a set of desks and chairs, which were made of chicken wing wood, were 12 yuan.

The three-piece set of coffee table and armchairs was also huanghuali, the coffee table was 3 yuan, the chairs were 4 yuan, a total of 11 yuan.

The most expensive pair of two-meter-high huanghuali square corner cabinets, because they were made of the heaviest materials, were all large double-sided boards, and each one cost 25 yuan.

Add two red sandalwood stools, and the total cost is almost 100 yuan!

If you ask a carpenter to make these furniture again, it will only cost 30 yuan for these furniture with ordinary miscellaneous wood.

However, Du Fei will definitely not lose money by spending this money. These furniture are not only precious materials, but also old.

Although Du Fei can't see the specific era style, he estimates that it must be before the Republic of China, especially the Luohan bed, which is simple and beautiful, with fine workmanship, and it is very likely passed down from the Ming Dynasty.

However, now even objects from the Tang and Song dynasties are not valuable, let alone these old furniture. Even cultural relics stores can't squeeze in, so they can only be sold as second-hand goods.

After paying the money, Yang Weiguo hurriedly

ran down to help call four cart drivers.

Move it down from the third floor, transport it back to the courtyard, and then move it into the moving house, each person will be paid 50 cents.

Because it has to move two floors, and Du Fei lives in the backyard, the cart can't enter, and it must be carried manually, otherwise 30 cents will be enough.

The four board masters had been waiting for work in the trust store for a long time. They were very nimble and had good coordination skills. Even though the two square corner cabinets were very heavy, they were able to lift them down without much effort.

Before leaving, Du Fei gave Yang Weiguo another pack of cigarettes, said goodbye, and rode his bicycle with the four board masters to the courtyard.

When Du Fei returned, he immediately alarmed the old and young people who stayed in the courtyard.

However, everyone was not too surprised to see that Du Fei was moving furniture home.

It was normal to bring some furniture back to the house that had just been cleaned a few days ago.

The three aunts in the front yard were talking nonsense with the wife of the Jiang family next door.

When they saw Du Fei, they immediately came over.

The three aunts looked at the furniture that the board masters moved in and said with a smile, "Xiao Du! Why are you buying second-hand goods?"

"That's right~" The wife of the Jiang family next to her said jokingly, "Your house is newly renovated. Find two old carpenters to make all new furniture. How magnificent it is!"

The three aunts also agreed when they heard it.

Du Fei chuckled, "It would be great to buy all new furniture, but it's expensive! I still have to make a living, so I'll just make do with the old furniture."

The third aunt and Jiang's wife praised Du Fei for being thrifty, but they secretly pouted in their hearts, thinking that this prodigal boy probably spent almost all the money his father left behind, and couldn't even get the money for new furniture.

Du Fei didn't know what the two old ladies were thinking, and if he knew, he could only say haha~

In fact, at this time, overthrowing the old society and building a new China, most people had a simple cognition that new things were better than old ones.

But there were also some people who had eaten and seen them in the courtyard.

When Du Fei arrived at the middle courtyard, he saw the deaf old lady and the first aunt, bringing Xiaoling out of the house.

It is estimated that the deaf old lady came to visit and heard the noise and came out to see.

The deaf old lady waved her hand and called Du Fei over, smiling and saying, "Boy, where did you get all these fun stuff?"

Du Fei said, "Old lady, they are all second-hand goods. I bought them at a trust store and prepared to put them in the house."

The aunt did not understand what was going on, but the deaf old lady pouted her toothless mouth and said, "You clever boy, I may be deaf, but I am not blind!" She pointed with her cane, "That big cabinet made of yellow sandalwood, you told me it was second-hand?"

Du Fei was slightly surprised that the old lady could tell that the cabinet was made of huanghuali and that huanghuali was yellow sandalwood!

Du Fei chuckled and said, "You've seen a lot of things, but this is really bought in a trust store."

The deaf old lady glanced at him and said, "Did you find someone?"

Du Fei smiled and said, "You are good at calculating and entrusted some connections."

Auntie interrupted and said, "I said, you don't see such neat furniture in ordinary trust stores."

The deaf old lady glanced at Auntie.

Although Auntie is quite smart, her family background is really limited.

The deaf old lady can recognize the material of Huanghuali, and obviously knows the difference from ordinary furniture.

But the old lady didn't say it, and watched Du Fei go back to the backyard.

Lei Laoliu and Wei Duzi were not there.

But the chicken coop outside the porch has been built, with a fence of thin wooden strips, padded with hay inside, and covered with a dirty blue cotton door curtain on top. The four corners are pressed with bricks to block the wind, and can be taken down when the weather is warm.

The things are all ready. I guess Lei Laoliu and Wei Duzi can finish it in no time. I just don't know how effective it will be in heating.
