Rebirth of the Flying Era

Mr. Wei is not a good person!

Mr. Wei first met Du Fei, so it stands to reason that it was Mr. Wei who came to send this favor.

Seeing his hesitation, Du Fei smiled and said, "If you are in trouble, I can just go to your director."

Yang Weiguo's eyes rolled, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Du, if you come with me, you have 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 "clatter" sound, and Yang Weiguo struggled to push open the iron fence door painted with silver anti-rust paint.

Follow the corridor and come to a warehouse door.

There was a piece of yellowed white paper taped to it, with the word 'furniture' written on it with a brush.

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

Several high-wattage incandescent lamps illuminated the inside instantly.

Du Fei followed him in and his eyes were opened!

Compared with this place, the furniture outside is simply shabby!

Rosewood, chicken wing wood, huanghuali... are actually well preserved, with almost no large wear and scratches, and the wood shines oily under the light.

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

In this warehouse, in addition to a large number of Chinese-style furniture that looks very old, there are also many fine Western-style furniture.

As soon as I glanced at them, I saw three or four sets of leather sofas, but it was a pity that I couldn't buy them back.

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

Yang Weiguo and the middle-aged woman followed behind.

Du Fei is not a troubled person, especially when buying things. He basically thinks about it in his mind, goes straight to the topic, pays the money and leaves.

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

I also selected a pair of three-layer square corner cabinets inlaid with copper, a coffee table with two armchairs, and a set of desks and chairs, and planned to place them on the second floor.

Du Fei planned to place the Arhat bed facing the fireplace and cover it with thick cotton cushions to use as a sofa.

A pair of square corner cabinets more than two meters high are placed on both sides of the Arhat bed.

The coffee table and two armchairs are placed on the right side of the Arhat bed, and the original Eight Immortals table and chairs are placed on the left side of the kitchen door for convenience in eating.

As for the original camphor wood boxes and low cabinets, they were taken to the bedroom on the second floor to store things.

That old standing cabinet was simply eliminated.

But when the money was finally counted, even Du Fei, who was wealthy, was a little surprised.

The prices for these good things hidden away in trust stores are indeed extraordinary.

The Huanghuali Luohan bed costs fifteen yuan, and a set of desks and chairs made of wenge wood cost twelve yuan.

The three-piece coffee table and armchair set is also huanghuali. The coffee table costs three yuan and the chairs four yuan, a total of eleven yuan.

The most expensive pair of huanghuali square-corner cabinets, which are more than two meters high, are made of the heaviest materials and are made of large bisected panels. Each one costs 25 yuan.

Together with the two round rosewood stools, the total cost is almost a hundred yuan!

If you hire a carpenter to make it again, just these few pieces of furniture, using ordinary miscellaneous wood, will only cost thirty yuan.

However, Du Fei will definitely make a profit for spending the money. Not only are these furniture made of expensive materials, but they are also very old.

Although Du Fei couldn't tell the specific era style, he estimated that it had to be from before the Republic of China, especially the Arhat bed, which was simple, beautiful and finely made. It was probably passed down from the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that now even the objects from the Tang and Song Dynasties are worthless, let alone these old furniture. They can't even get into the cultural relics stores and can only be sold as second-hand goods.

After paying the money, Yang Weiguo quickly ran down and helped call four cart masters.

They are moved down from the third floor, transported back to the courtyard, and then moved into the house. Each person is paid 50 cents.

Because we had to move two floors, and Du Fei lived in the backyard, the cart couldn't get in, so we had to lift it manually, otherwise only thirty cents would be enough.

The four shopkeepers had been waiting for work in the trust store for a long time. They were very nimble with their hands and had good coordination skills. Even though the two square-corner cabinets were very heavy, they were lifted down without too much effort.

Before leaving, Du Fei got another pack of cigarettes for Yang Weiguo, said goodbye, got on his bike, and headed toward the courtyard with four bosses.

When Du Fei returned, he immediately alarmed all the young and old people left behind in the courtyard.

However, everyone saw that it was Du Fei who was moving furniture at home, so they were not too surprised.

The house was just tidied up a few days ago, and now it's normal to get some furniture back.

The third aunt in the front yard was chatting with the Jiang family's daughter-in-law next door.

Seeing Du Fei, the two of them immediately came over.

The third aunt looked at the furniture that the landlord had moved in, and said with a smile: "Xiao Du! Why are you buying second-hand goods?"

"That's right~" The Jiang family's daughter-in-law on the side joked: "Your house is newly built. We hired two old carpenters to make new furniture. It's so grand!"

The third aunt also agreed upon hearing this.

Du Fei chuckled: "It's nice to buy a new one, but it's also expensive! I have to make a living now, so I'll make do with the old ones first."

The third aunt and the Jiang family's daughter-in-law praised Du Fei for his careful calculation, but they secretly curled their lips, thinking that this prodigal boy probably had almost all the money left by his father, and he couldn't even get enough money to buy new furniture.

Du Fei didn't know what these two old ladies were thinking. If he knew, he could only say hehe~

In fact, at this time, when the old society was overthrown and a new China was established, most people simply understood that the new one was better than the old one.

But there are some that I’ve eaten and seen in the courtyard.

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

I guess the deaf old lady came to visit, heard the noise, and came out to take a look.

The deaf old lady waved to Du Fei and said with a smile: "Boy, where did you get such good things?"

Du Fei said: "Old lady, these are some second-hand goods. They were bought at a trust store and are going to be used in the house."

The aunt didn't know what was going on, but the deaf old lady curled her toothless mouth and said: "You monkey boy, I'm deaf, but I'm not blind!" She raised her crutch and pointed: "That big rosewood cabinet, you Are you telling me it’s secondhand?”

Du Fei was slightly surprised. The old lady actually saw that the large cabinet was made of huanghuali, and she also knew that huanghuali was rosewood!

Du Fei chuckled and said, "You've never seen this before, but I really bought it at a trust store."

The deaf old lady glanced at him and said, "Are you looking for someone?"

Du Fei said with a smile: "You are still good at calculating, and you have entrusted me with some connections."

The eldest mother interjected from the side: "Let me just say, you don't usually see such upright furniture in trust stores."

The deaf old lady glanced at the eldest mother.

Although the aunt is quite smart, her background and experience are really limited.

The deaf old lady could recognize the material of huanghuali and obviously knew the difference from ordinary furniture.

However, the old lady didn't say anything, and watched Du Fei return to the backyard.

Lei Laoliu and Wei Duzi were neither there.

But the chicken coop outside the porch has been set up, with a thin wooden fence lined with hay and covered with a dirty blue cotton curtain. The four corners are pressed with bricks to block the wind. It can still be used when the weather is warm. Come down.

Everything is ready-made. I guess Lei Laoliu and Wei Duzi came here and finished it in a few times, but I don't know how the heating effect is.
