Chapter 2037 Receiving
After Chu Heng sent Chu Zhecheng back, he set off from home and arrived at Qinlao Hutong in more than ten minutes.
"Yard No. 21..."
He had never been to this place before, but he had heard Du San mention it before. He drove in from the alley and slowly started from the beginning. He started counting, and when he was about to arrive at the No. 21 courtyard where Du San and the others rented, Du San, who heard the sound of the engine, led four young men out of the courtyard not far ahead.
“Here it is, Master Chu!”
He waved his hand under the headlights, and behind him were four tall, muscular men standing there like four iron towers, which was intimidating.
Seeing this, Chu Heng lightly stepped on the accelerator and quickly came to park the car.
After getting off the car, he smiled and took out cigarettes and distributed them to a few people: "It's time to wait."
"No rush, we were just playing cards in the courtyard." Du San He happily took the cigarette.
“Master Chu!”
The four men behind him greeted him respectfully.
Chu Heng nodded gently to the four of them, and then Du San quickly stepped forward to introduce their situation.
These four are brothers who have been with Du San for many years, and they all already have families and businesses. When Chu Heng takes over the basement, the four of them will move in with their families. Chu Heng was responsible for the rent and would also give him some rice, noodles, beef and mutton every month, which was a nice thing.
“Let’s go, Mr. Chu, let’s go in and take a look.”
After introducing the situation, Chu Heng chatted with them for a few more words, and then entered the yard accompanied by Du San .
Because there were too many people living there, and due to improper maintenance by the housing management office, this originally grand courtyard has now become dilapidated. The paint on the two vermilion doors was severely peeled off, and even the door nails were knocked off at some point. The screen wall at the entrance has long since disappeared.
Going inside, there are privately built houses everywhere. Many old houses in the courtyard have been changed beyond recognition due to years of careless maintenance. Some doors and windows have been replaced, and some roof tiles have been covered with linoleum paper. Or covered with plastic sheet.
The whole courtyard gave Chu Heng the feeling of a dying beauty with age spots on her body and face plastered with dog skin plasters.
“What a pity.”
He looked at the remaining traces of the old days in the yard with regret and shook his head. Accompanied by Du San, he walked through the flower gate and walked into the backyard. This yard was bigger than his yard. Much smaller, plus one front and back yard There are only thirteen rooms on the block. Even if you include those small privately built houses, there are only sixteen or seventeen rooms. Including the courtyard covering an area of more than 400 square meters, it is really crowded if eleven families live there. , but it is a microcosm of the current living conditions of the people.
Many people who have not been allocated a house have to rent a house here at the housing management office. The price is much higher than the welfare housing in the unit. Most people are reluctant to rent a house that is too big. They think of renting one or two rooms first and make do with it later. Just separate rooms.
But many people have been waiting for more than ten or twenty years...
"This way, Mr. Chu."
Soon, the two of them came to the backyard. Outside the west room of the house, Du San took out the key and opened the door, entered the room and turned on the light.
The house was empty, with only an old pinewood table and a rough-made solid wood bed, and nothing else.
The entrance mechanism is just under the bed, and the design still follows the entrance style of the previous basement in Zuojiazhuang. It can be seen that it was designed by Zhang Yiyan.
After opening the lock at the entrance, the two of them went down one after another.
This basement is about three to four hundred square meters, which is not too big. There are rows of ancient bookshelves in a very random manner. There is nothing on them, and nothing is placed on them. After all, his second The basement isn't even full yet, so this won't be used yet.
But it’s fast. According to the speed of receiving goods from the scrap yard, it won’t be long before the basement is filled to the brim. "Okay, it's pretty good, let's go."
After checking around the basement and seeing that there were no problems, Chu Heng took Du San up from below.
After coming up, the two of them rebuilt the entrance and locked it. Chu Heng put the key that Du San gave him into his pocket and raised his hand to the Eight Immortals table in the room: "Sit down and say a few words."< br>
“Alas.”
Du San walked over quickly and came to the Eight Immortals table before him. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the long bench with a layer of dust on it clean.
"Sit down, Master Chu."
Chu Heng sat down with his back to the table, Da Ma Jin Dao, took the cigarette point from Du San, and said slowly: "The furniture is the same as last time, go to the Sijiucheng Furniture Factory to find Old Man Xing in the warehouse. Ask him to pick something good and bring it back, and remember to tell the four brothers who live here to be careful."
"I understand," Du San responded and sat next to him. , said: "The other basement will be finished in half a month. I'll just go and get it right now, okay?"
"Okay." Chu Heng nodded with a smile, then asked, "How is the business at the scrapyard now?"
"It's good." Du San couldn't help but get excited when he raised this one, and said with joy: "Compared with last year, business is at least 20% better."
"Not bad, but remember to pay attention to safety .”
"I know this. I have been paying attention to this matter."
"By the way, what are you going to give Han Xu when he gets married? I'm a little worried now. I don't know what to give. Give it to me. Come up with ideas.”
"Oh, I'm worried too. He doesn't need anything now, and he doesn't have anything to give as a gift."
The two chatted like this for a while, and finally agreed to make an appointment around eleven o'clock at night When he went to deliver the goods, Chu Heng patted his butt and left.
It was just after nine o'clock at this time. It was too troublesome for Chu Heng to go home, so he simply drove out of the city, found a secluded place, and got into the portable warehouse with Volga under his buttocks.
His warehouse is now divided into two areas, one is used to store beef, mutton, rice noodles, red and white sugar and other supplies, and the other is used to store the antiques, gold and various odds and ends he collected.
After coming down from Volgari, Chu Heng raised his eyes and looked at the huge fire dragon and water dragon hovering over the warehouse, then strolled towards the place where the antiques were stored, with his hands behind his back, and started to admire them one by one. .
People always fly by when they are doing things they are interested in. Before they know it, the time is almost eleven o'clock.
Chu Heng, who was selflessly holding a golden Buddha and admiring it repeatedly, accidentally glanced at his watch. Then he remembered that he had to deliver the goods. He hurriedly walked out of the warehouse and thought again, a car A large truck filled with supplies appeared out of thin air.
Remembering this, he quickly started the car and drove the truck to the scrapyard.
At around 11:10, Chu Heng arrived late. Du San and Han Xu had already led the people to wait for a long time.
"Tu tu tu tu."
Stop. Behind the car, Chu Heng got out of the car and didn't explain anything to them. He stood aside with a cigarette in his mouth and waited for them to finish delivering the goods, then got in the car and continued to pull the goods.
He made three trips back and forth and pulled three carts of goods before he stopped.
