The Happy Life of Xu Damao in Siheyuan

Xu Damao only stayed for lunch, and then rode his bicycle slowly back to the courtyard, stopping at a car repair shop on the corner of the street.

"Boss, how much do you charge for a permanent bicycle that is 80% new?"

The owner of the car shop carefully inspected it and found that the car was very well maintained. He made a three sign calmly: "130 yuan!"

Xu Damao shook his head: "You are too shameless! I bought this car for more than 600 yuan last year, your price is a bit deceptive!"

The owner of the car shop apologized and smiled: "I am also a small business, and the market situation is like this. Besides, I also bear the risk of speculation, right?"

"It's still too low. I'll go check out other stores."

"Ahem, let me give you the highest price, 150 yuan! It's a really honest price. If you don't believe it, you can go to other alleys and there won't be a higher price than mine. It's just for the sake of eternal face!"

"180 yuan! Otherwise, I'll go around again."

"Ah...this..." The owner of the car repair shop looked confused and hesitant.

"I have something else to do today. I hope you have the money ready when I come next time."

Xu Damao didn't do any ink, so he rode out of the alley.

In fact, he was already attracted by the 130 yuan offered by his boss at the beginning. In January this year, the Ministry of Commerce will add bicycles to the list of high-end goods, and the sky-high price of 300-600 bicycles in the past will no longer exist.

Instead, it stabilized at around 120 yuan, almost a cliff-like plunge.

In other words, if I bought this old 28 permanent model one month ago, I can buy a new Phoenix 18 model that is in hot demand a month later, and it comes with a large chain cover, an electroplated single bracket, an electroplated rear frame, and a rotating bell.

That is the so-called original high configuration.

But in business, you always have to sell at the highest price. After half a month, if you still can’t find a taker, you can definitely make a profit by selling it for 150 yuan.

Xu Damao had just left, and the woman who had been hiding at the entrance of the alley to observe secretly came out. Her face was excited and excited. She ran all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative and asked the teller: "Excuse me, is the 28-type permanent bicycle now available?"

What’s the price?”

The teller said enthusiastically: "It's 650 yuan, and you can buy it with a ticket. We happen to have another one. Excuse me..."

"I'm just asking, I won't buy it!"

"Hey, who is this?"

650 yuan!

Yu Li trotted out of the supply and marketing cooperative, her face filled with excitement and excitement. She felt like she had seized a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity!

When she returned home and saw Yan Jiecheng half-slumped on a chair basking in the sun, she was so angry that she was so annoyed by this cowardly look that she kicked him down.

"Daughter-in-law...Daughter-in-law, when will you come back?" Yan Jiecheng scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Look at how useless you are, you can't even catch the pie in the sky!"

"Look what you said, even with my dad's calculating skills, he couldn't even leave a few sesame seeds in his hand after catching the pie." Yan Jiecheng sighed helplessly.

As the son of a third uncle, he only has a small amount of living expenses in his hands every month, not to mention the living expenses. Even the living expenses have to be calculated. Not to mention that there is a lot of money, and he has to pay rent to live at home. After listening to the radio for a while, he unexpectedly

You still have to pay for electricity!

"There is a huge opportunity to make money now!" Yu Li said excitedly, "When I passed by the car repair shop just now, guess who I bumped into?"

"Who?"

"Xu Damao!" Yu Li looked around mysteriously and closed the door for fear of being eavesdropped. "He planned to sell the permanent bicycle for only 180 yuan. I even went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After asking, a new Forever 28 costs 650 yuan, but Xu Damao’s car is 80% new!”

"180 yuan! 650 yuan..."

Yan Jiecheng murmured and his eyes gradually lit up.

Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the mice's sons can dig holes. Not only did Yan Jiecheng learn the calculation skills of the third uncle, but even Yu Lier became calculating and calculating under the influence of his eyes.

"Daughter-in-law, I think this can be done! If we buy Xu Damao's bicycle, even if it's 80% new, even if it's 20% off, we'll definitely make a profit!"

Yan Jiecheng was excited and made a rough calculation. They could make a small three hundred yuan from it. They had never seen so much money in their lives!!

"But where did we get the money? I can't even get 10 yuan out of my pocket." Yan Jiecheng looked miserable.

Yu Li gritted her teeth and said, "I still have some money in hand. If I can't afford it, I'll borrow some from my parents. It just so happens that Haitang's salary is about to be paid. I'll ask her to come over in two days."

Yan Jiecheng also said: "Then I'll borrow it from mom. At the worst, the interest rate will be 10% according to the rules."

"But having said that, we have to go to Xu Damao and convince him to sell the car to us. Otherwise, our work will be in vain?"

Yu Li was still thinking about how to talk to Xu Damao calmly, when the third aunt knocked on the door.

"Yu Li, come and stew two chickens, we have guests at home."

"Okay, Mom, no problem!" Yan Jiecheng's eyes lit up, he took the two chickens in a flattering manner, and his mouth watered, "We can share the chicken tonight!"

"Mom, who is coming to our house for dinner?" Yu Li asked casually.

"Hey, Xu Damao, he came over to discuss with your father how to deal with Silly Zhu!" The third aunt said happily while carrying a pile of mountain goods, "This Damao is indeed the one with the best conditions in our courtyard, and I gave him this as a gift.

What a good thing.”

Xu Damao?

Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng looked at each other, they really wanted to sleep and came to the pillow!

The third uncle Yan Bugui's mood at this time went through a roller coaster of joy and sorrow.

Before getting up early in the morning, Shazhu took the three brothers and sister Banggeng and rushed into the house, kowtowed and knocked on the bowl to ask for new year's money. If he didn't give it, he wouldn't get up. Yan Bugui, a stingy person, was stunned by this combination of punches.

, I was beaten so dizzy that I suddenly lost a dollar.

Yan Bugui took a step back and the more he thought about it, the more he was losing money. He was so angry that he was so angry. When did someone else squeeze the oil out of his iron cock?

He quickly held a hospital-wide meeting and prepared to sanction He Yuzhu, but who could have imagined it? He Yuzhu came to the bottom of the pot to drain the salary. He had already prepared a countermeasure and said that he wanted me to pay back the money, but he had to give back the kowtow he had given me.

Good guy, he, the dignified third uncle, kowtows to stupid Zhu for a dollar. Isn’t that going to make people laugh?

Five minutes ago, Yan Bugui sighed, put a water bag on his forehead, and even informed his wife that he could not add a penny of meat to the dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage for dinner.

One dollar is the price of two meals of meat for him!

Just when Yan Laoxi's mood hit rock bottom, Xu Damao came to the door with two fat chickens and a bottle of Erqu. Yan Bugui's eyes lit up and he immediately came back to life with full blood. His grin almost reached the back of his head.

.

"Da Mao, why did you get into my heart? You came at just the right time. It suits me so well!"

Two old stewed hens were brought to the table, along with scrambled eggs and peanuts. This was a feast that would make the children next door cry in this era. The third uncle quickly opened the wine and took the initiative to fill up Xu Damao's glass. He felt even more excited.

It's a blessing, but this is a blessing in disguise!

Xu Damao smiled and said: "Third uncle, you are so polite. Didn't I say before the year ago that I would pick up the goods and come to visit you? I just came here after finishing my work."

"Hey, Damao really gave you the respect of the third uncle. Tell me about this. I have sent you so many good things. How can I thank you enough!" The third uncle is in high spirits on happy occasions.

"Thank you for nothing!" Xu Damao said calmly, "I have just been divorced and have no children. I have more money than you no matter what. I am too lazy to cook, so I came here to have a meal."

Yan Bugui's heart moved, yes, this Xu Damao had just divorced Lou Xiao'e, and he was a golden bachelor! The most important thing is that Xu Damao's conditions are the best in the entire compound.

Although Mr. Ran, who helped Shazhu hook up with Mr. Ran before, failed, he also gained a lot of benefits from it.

If I introduce Teacher Ran to Xu Damao again, I will definitely make a small fortune...

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui became more excited and said, "Da Mao, don't you plan to find another one soon? Your two rooms are empty. It's not a problem if you don't have a woman to help take care of them."

Xu Damao sighed: "Hey, I'm a divorced person, so don't delay this little girl. Let's just do this for now."

"That's impossible! No one in our courtyard knows that you, Xu Damao, have the best conditions!" The third aunt also praised with a smile.

"Teacher Ran from our school is young, beautiful, educated, and has good temperament. If you are willing, I will help you organize everything!" Yan Bugui said with a generous voice.

What I want is your words! Otherwise, I can give you gifts for free?

Xu Damao looked at the entire Siheyuan plot and felt that the woman who could really live a good life was the gentle and quiet Ran Qiuye. If he chose a woman to get married, it could only be Ran Qiuye.

Lou Xiao'e can't go against the general trend and is destined to leave. Qin Jingru is pure and vain. It's okay to be a canary, but it's not suitable for living.

After much thought, Ran Qiuye was still the most suitable to his taste.
