Chapter 169: Twin Veterans
This pile is as high as a hill, and it is all carved beds, carved coffee tables, carved tables and chairs, carved wardrobes and so on made of rosewood, huanghuali, wenge and other precious woods.
Looking at these precious pieces of furniture piled up here so casually, as well as the pieces of red sandalwood carved screens that were thrown in the corner and covered with dust, Song Lan felt that he was about to suffocate!
Song Lan turned his head to look at Wan Chunlei and asked him in a deep voice, "How do you sell all these old wooden furniture?" ”
Wan Chunlei replied cautiously: "Originally, it would cost eight cents a catty, but if you wrap it up, it will cost five cents a catty." ”
Song Lan asked again: "All the furniture in this warehouse is added up, how many catties are there?" ”
Wan Chunlei replied respectfully: "There are probably more than 30,000 catties." ”
More than 30,000 catties, a catty and five cents, adding up to more than 1,000 yuan.
Song Lan said briskly: "Okay, I'm all round, Comrade Wan, you settle the bill!" ”
When Wan Chunlei heard this, this big business was really done again!
He immediately smiled happily, "Great! Comrade Song, wait a moment, I'll go and count the total number for you, and by the way, call someone to come and move the goods. ”
Song Lan nodded, "Okay, you go, we'll wait for you here." ”
When Wan Chunlei went to count the money and call people, Song Lan walked to a large red sandalwood screen in the corner and looked at the pattern on it carefully and carefully.
She also reached out and touched it, brushing away the dust on it, and she was more sure in her heart that this was indeed a red sandalwood inlaid stone screen in the Qing Dynasty.
This screen can be auctioned for about one million yuan in later generations, but now it is only worth a few dozen yuan.
Song Lan looked at the big cabinet next to him again.
This is also a red sandalwood cloud dragon pattern cabinet of the Qing Dynasty, and it can also be auctioned for about one million in later generations.
When Song Lan saw those familiar patterns, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
She remembered that there was a richest woman in later generations, she was so rich that she owned the entire street of the capital, and she opened a rosewood museum.
If she collects more rosewood furniture in the future, can she also follow the example of the richest woman and open a rosewood museum?
Song Lan felt that this was a good idea.
If she continues to sweep like this, in a few decades, she can not only open a rosewood museum, but also an ancient porcelain museum, an ancient painting museum, and other types of museums.
In order for this dream to come true, Song Lan will definitely do his best to do it.
Wan Chunlei came over quickly and showed her the bill and the bill of goods.
Song Lan glanced at the final price, 1,888 yuan!
Song Lan looked at Wan Chunlei and smiled: "This number is quite auspicious!" ”
Wan Chunlei also smiled: "It's not! This is what I specially reduced to this number, just to be auspicious! ”
Song Lan glanced at him with a smile, "Comrade Wan has a heart." ”
She took out two neat ten yuan from the big cloth bag, and counted out 1,888 yuan and handed them to Wan Chunlei.
After Wan Chunlei counted it, he smiled happily, "That's right, we don't need to look for it." ”
Song Lan said to him again: "Comrade Wan, please help me ask a few comrades to move the goods, and I will give them a little more money for tea when I go back." ”
As soon as Wan Chunlei heard that Song Lan would pay for the tea, he immediately responded: "No problem, no problem." ”
People in this era are really not afraid of hardship and tiredness, they are afraid that they will not have work to do, and they will have no food if they can't make money.
At the gate of the Panjiayuan thrift market, there are many temporary workers waiting for work.
At this time, when they heard that there was work to be done, and they could earn tea fees, those people ran faster than anyone else, and they worked very hard.
Song Lan saw them carrying these bulky furniture, sweating profusely, and thought to himself that he would give them a little more money later.
Some small money, for her, may not care at all.
But for these little people, it may be their living expenses for half a month, or even a month.
Since they did something for her, it was normal for her to pay for more tea.
There are so many old furniture, and the minivan is too small, Song Lan ran back and forth ten times before he finished pulling all the furniture.
Those who moved the goods were also tired enough, and sat on the steps at the entrance of the thrift market one by one, fanning the wind with old newspapers.
Song Lan gave one of them ten yuan for tea, and these people also happily thanked her.
Song Lan saw that there were two men among them, whose strength was greater than that of ordinary people, and looking at their posture of standing upright and sitting upright, he knew that these two men should have been soldiers.
Song Lan didn't rush to leave, so he approached them and chatted with them, "Are you two employees in the thrift market?" ”
The two men shook their heads in unison.
One of the men replied, "We're just temporary workers here, doing a single job, getting a job, and if we don't work, we don't get any money." ”
Song Lan asked the two of them again, "Have both of you ever been soldiers?" ”
The two men nodded in unison, "Yes, they both served as soldiers, but they have been discharged from the army for many years." ”
Song Lan asked them again, "How old are you?" Married? Where are you from? ”
When the two veterans heard Song Lan's question, they couldn't help but glance at each other.
One of them asked Song Lan vigilantly, "Comrade, why are you asking this?" ”
Song Lan smiled, "Don't be nervous, it's my job here, and I just need to find two people to do it, I have always been more interested in people who have been soldiers, so I want to ask you about the situation, if it is appropriate, I want to ask you to work in the past, what do you think?" ”
When the two veterans heard that there was work to do, their eyes lit up.
But the vigilant veteran just now asked Song Lan again, "What kind of work?" ”
Song Lan asked them rhetorically, "Do you do the work of taking care of the home?" Fifty dollars a month, and the bonus is calculated separately. ”
The others had been listening to their conversation, and when they heard Song Lan say that they had fifty yuan a month, they suddenly exclaimed, "Fifty yuan? So much? ”
"Comrade Song, can I go?"
"Comrade Song, I want to go too, is that okay?"
Song Lan glanced at the person who said these words, and said with apologies: "I only need two people for the time being, if I need it in the future, I will find you again, okay?" ”
When he saw that he was out of play, the man sighed and said, "Alas, then you see if victory and liberation are suitable, right?" ”
Then he kindly persuaded the two brothers, "Victory, liberation, you have to seize the opportunity, such a high-paying job is not easy to find." ”
Gong Shengli and Gong Jiefang are the names of those two veterans, they are fraternal twins, and they are Chinese New Year's Eve years old.
The two have married and had children, and their home is near Panjiayuan.
It's just that the family is too poor, and the family of more than a dozen people lives in a house of only more than 30 square meters assigned by their parents' factory.
