Chapter 396 Good thing
After Chu Heng left Xiaolihua, he did not go back to the grain store directly, but instead went to a nearby trust store.
Only when he went out did he remember that the last section of the last cheongsam at home had been torn into pieces by him.
So I have to buy a new one.
It is best to buy a few more new ones as spares.
For his couple, this thing consumes a lot of money...
The dog hummed a little tune all the way, basking in the glory of late summer, and arrived at the place not long after.
After locking the car and entering, he ran straight to the counter selling used clothes.
Perhaps it is because life is not easy, there are many more used clothes on the counter than before.
And there are quite a lot of styles, including some clothes that are rarely seen nowadays.
The smooth leather cloak, the well-made stiff suit, the gorgeous dress with colorful branches, each of these, each one, is not something ordinary people can afford.
As for how these things appeared here, it is unknown.
Chu Heng hurriedly glanced at the things on the counter, and soon found four or five cheongsams hanging on the shelves. He quickly waved to the saleswoman and said politely: "Comrade, If you are tired, please bring those cheongsams to me.”
The aunt glanced at this handsome guy, with a kind smile on her face, walked over and took off those cheongsams. , placed At the counter, he asked curiously: "Young man, no one is wearing this thing. Why did you buy this?"
"I think the material is quite good. I want to buy it back and change the back of two sets." Chu Heng casually treated his aunt, picked up the cheongsams and looked at them. Seeing that the fabrics and sizes were acceptable, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Comrade, please make an invoice. I want these."
"Hey, you're still young, but you're pretty good at living." The aunt gave her high praise, then took the book, swiped it a few times, wrote down the notes, and handed it over.
"Thank you!"
Chu Heng took the ticket and left the counter, going to other places to see if there was anything else worth selling.
After finally coming here, you can’t just buy a few cheongsams and go back, right?
It’s not even enough for the two taels of rice consumed by pedaling back and forth!
This guy walked around in circles and soon came to a place selling watches.
Similar to the counter selling clothes, this place also has a lot of things.
Table clocks, wall clocks, watches, pocket watches, domestic, foreign, modern, ancient, everything is available.
As soon as Chu Heng took a look, he saw many valuable objects.
Pure gold pocket watches, diamond-encrusted wristwatches, cloisonne clocks from the Qing Dynasty, etc. are all eye-catching.
This guy stood in front of the counter with gleaming eyes, looking at each item one by one.
In the end, he selected eight pieces!
Two Swiss gold pocket watches from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, one modern Italian solid gold and diamond watch, two modern German platinum and diamond watches, two from the middle and late Qing Dynasty The self-ringing clock is a filigree clock from the French Imperial Palace during the Qianlong period.
These clocks are all very well preserved, with almost no trace of use, making them quite valuable for collection.
But just because they were new, they were relatively expensive. Eight pieces of clocks cost him more than 300 yuan!
Under the surprised look of the salesman, Chu Heng happily hugged the clocks, left the clock counter, and went to the place where used clothes were sold.
After picking up the cheongsams, he turned around and left the store.
Chu Heng originally wanted to buy some old furniture, but he couldn't afford it, so he could only wait until next time.
After going out and tying his things to the car, he rode back to the camp without staying outside too much.
Another fruitful day!
Ah, if nothing else happens, Xiao Ni will also gain a lot. When Chu Heng returned to the grain store, he closed the office door tightly, then took out the few cheongsams and needlework he had put in the warehouse, and clumsily began to change his clothes.
The main reason was that the slit was too low. He had to modify it, otherwise it would be impossible to wear it.
As we all know, Director Chu is very good at piling, but not at all good at needlework.
So, he did this work from morning to afternoon and still hadn't finished it.
But there was no way. He could only do this by himself. He didn't have the nerve to find someone else to change it for him. As for giving it to Ni Yinghong, that was even more impossible. It would be difficult for her to wear it even once. Not to mention asking her to change it on her own initiative.
Fortunately, this is not difficult, it is just a matter of time-consuming.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the dog finally finished changing the last piece of clothing.
This grandson is really concerned about such trivial things!
“This one is for the second bedroom!”
Chu Heng picked up a purple dark flower cheongsam with slits almost reaching his armpits, and looked at it with a smile on his face. The scene of Qin Jingru wearing it and standing obediently in front of him appeared in his mind.
It’s so nice!
"Hey!" The thief licked his lips in a cowardly manner, then put the cheongsam into the warehouse. At the same time, he also made up his mind to talk to the second room another day to see if he had time. Go out for a walk.
The cornfield outside the city is quite nice...
“Dong Dong!”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Guo Xia shouted outside the door: "Brother, there is a scrap collector outside looking for you, saying he is your friend."
"Scrap collector? ”
Chu Henghuang is having sex After a moment of confusion, he soon realized that Zhang Yiyan might have come looking for him. He quickly stood up, opened the door, and told Guo Xia: "Let him in."
"Oh."
Hearing this, Guo Xia turned and left.
Not long after, Zhang Yiyan was brought in.
The old man's appearance was similar to the one when Chu Heng met him for the first time. He was unkempt and in rags. As soon as he entered the room, a sour smell hit his nostrils. He hadn't taken a shower for an unknown amount of time. .
Chu Heng rolled his eyes at Zhang who wandered into the room, and waved to Guo Xia: "Go and do your business."
"Hey, call me if you need anything." Guo Xia Xia glanced at Zhang curiously and then left, deeply impressed by Director Chu's wide range of friends.
You can really play with anyone!
When Guo Xia walked away, Chu Heng spoke again. He wrinkled his nose and raised his hand, fanned in front of his face, and said angrily: "Master Zhang, I have to give you a thousand Is it too much? Can’t you change into a leaf?” .
"Then you can take a bath, it smells so bad!" Chu Heng threw a cigarette over with a helpless expression and asked him: "What's wrong with you coming to my place?"
"Good thing."
Zhang glanced at me and smiled mysteriously. He got up and closed the door first. After doing it again, he whispered sneakily: "I will do it today. When I went to Xicheng, I met a seller of old safes. They were made in Germany in the early years. I heard that the old man moved them out of an official's house after the Japs evacuated. The old man had been secretly working on them for so many years. It has never been opened. Now that it is gone, I don’t dare to keep it at home. I want to sell it as scrap metal.”
