Chapter 52 Buying furniture you like (1st update)

The better wood commonly used for furniture among the people is ash, or old elm, and also paulownia, but paulownia is light and far less heavy than old elm, and it is not as beautiful as the pattern of ash. Song Hongguo finally

I decided to choose old elm wood, which is the same material as the doors and windows at home and complements each other better.

However, Song Hongguo walked around but couldn't make up her mind, "Why are all the things that caught my eye intact?"

The system asked in confusion, "Isn't that bad? It has to be in tatters?"

Song Hongguo said matter-of-factly, "Nonsense, if it's not broken, how can I modify it? How can I do it if it's all in good condition?"

The system made a speechless suggestion, "Then you should start with soft furnishings. The pieces of furniture you are interested in are not bad individually, but when put together..."

Song Hongguo imagined the scene in her mind and frowned, "Are you saying it's too formal?"

"More than that, it will look dull and depressing. It is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Anyway, it doesn't match the pastoral style you want."

Not only did it not match, Song Hongguo was so overwhelmed by the imaginary picture that she didn't want to buy it. She said depressedly, "But that's what Chinese furniture is."

"So, we need to work hard on soft furnishings, such as flowers and plants, cotton and linen tablecloths, floral curtains, and rattan decorations..."

Hearing this, Song Hongguo's heart suddenly brightened up, "Yes, I can hang a few more elegant paintings. Oh, I didn't expect that, Xiao Tiantian, you are quite useful at the critical moment."

The system said angrily, "I've always been useful. It's because you're blind to gold and you think other systems are better. That's because I'm generous, huh."

Song Hongguo was not used to it, "Hey, are you settling an old score? Come on, I've always been curious about whether the binding of the host and the system is random, or did you fight for it yourself? Who will be the result of the competition between the three of us?

Who has the final say? Will the winner be rewarded? Can hosts attack each other? Is there also a competitive relationship between your hosts..."

The system's momentum has long since weakened, "Well, you'd better choose furniture quickly, the two kids are still waiting for you at home."

Song Hongguo snorted victoriously and went out to call the gatekeeper.

The old man followed him slowly into the room. He looked at the pile of books first and flipped through them casually. When he saw that there was nothing special, he nodded and said, "Two cents a pound, your pile must weigh about twenty pounds."

, I’ll give you fifty cents.”

Song Hongguo naturally had no problem with it. Fifty cents could buy so much. She felt that she had made a huge profit, not to mention the original calligraphy and painting copies she had collected in the space.

When looking at the furniture, the old man became more careful and serious. He changed his previous casual attitude and his eyes were somewhat sharp. Song Hongguo didn't know why and couldn't help but ask, "Master, aren't the ones I chose suitable?"

The old man glanced at her, shook his head, and continued to look at the furniture in the room. After looking around for a while, he said with a complicated expression, "There's nothing wrong with what you picked."

Song Hongguo could tell that he still had unfinished words, but since they were not familiar with each other, it was taboo for them to talk to each other, so she smiled and turned the topic away, "Uncle, please give me a price."

The old man mused, "You want a lot, including a kang cabinet, a wardrobe, tables and chairs, and these cabinets. Although they are all sold in this junk yard as used items, look at those cabinets.

The workmanship is very particular. These are not those that have been eliminated over the years. They are collected from the landlords and wealthy families. The most important thing is that these things are not out of the ordinary, so you can use them with confidence..."

Song Hongguo smiled and nodded. With so much foreshadowing, is he trying to drive up the price?

"I think your daughter is also an honest child. You can give me fifty."

"...Thank you, uncle." It's really not expensive. It was in vain that she just mentioned it. She thought she was going to be ripped off. If she was really going to be ripped off, she would admit it. After all, those hidden treasures were too valuable.

The old man seemed to be more relieved than she was, and actually had a bit of a smile on his face, "These are all good things. It would be a pity to leave them gathering dust here. You can use them carefully after you take them back. Use them a hundred times."

It won’t be bad for ten years.”

"That's good." But how to pull him back is a problem.

The old man noticed her thoughts and said, "I know a few boys who don't have any elders above them. They usually help others to do some work to earn a living. They are quick and diligent. They have land to arrange a car at home. If you are willing,

Just ask them to send it back to you, and you can just give them a dime, or a few Wotou."

Hearing this, Song Hongguo did not respond.

Seeing that she agreed, the old man was even more happy, and took her to another smaller room, "There are some things here, take a look, are they useful?"

Song Hongguo walked in curiously and her eyes lit up. Look what she saw. There was a bathtub. It was more than one meter long. You could lie down in it and take a beautiful bath with flower petals. There was a tall bathtub next to it.

The foot bath bucket can be filled with water to soak up to your knees. The best thing is that there are some ridges at the bottom, which can massage the soles of your feet.

Seeing that she was indeed interested, the old man said proudly, "This is made of yellow cedar wood. Yellow cypress is also used as a traditional Chinese medicine. It can clear away heat and dampness. It can also detoxify and treat sores, purge fire and remove steam. So, this bath bucket is not bad, right?"

?”

Song Hongguo nodded vigorously, "Uncle, you are determined."

It's always a pleasure to have someone's good intentions accepted. The old man's smile deepened. He thought of something and snorted again, "Some people are blind and want to use this thing as a water tank. It's a waste."

nice one."

"..."

"There is also a screen here. The wood is not bad, but the painting is ruined. If you need it, take it back and put some paper on the window to block it."

It was a four-leaf screen that could be folded. The wood was not bad, it was made of mahogany. Song Hongguo couldn't put it down and fumbled with it, the joy in her eyes undisguised.

Seeing this, the old man recommended another set of tables and chairs to her. They were made of bamboo and the workmanship was extremely meticulous. They must have been old. There was a layer of patina on the outside, glowing with a quiet brilliance. She found them instantly.

The place to go is to be placed in the front building of the main house, near the east end. There happens to be a clump of bamboo there, where it is perfect to drink tea and read a book.

Song Hongguo paid another fifteen yuan for the three items. The old man took the money and happily helped her find someone to pick up the goods. After she calmed down, she suddenly asked, "Xiao Tiantian, what did you say he did just now?"

What does it mean?”

The system said depressingly, "What do you think? Of course he found that the items in the warehouse didn't match the count, and he was afraid that someone would take them away again."

Song Hongguo was like enlightened, "So, another person has already been here? That's right. She has space. The first place she thinks of is to hunt for treasures here. I don't know how far she has gone. Let the gatekeeper

Everyone is on guard, everyone looks like a thief... No, why would she take such a risk? A large piece of furniture is very conspicuous if it is missing, but the calligraphy and painting books are different. Even if there are a few boxes missing, it will not be noticeable.
