Cutting off the Hu

"Eight hundred? Uncle, it's too expensive without your price."

"Then I don't care, I'll sell it for eight hundred."

"Uncle, look at your bed. The board is provided at the back, right? And the bed surround is too dirty. You might as well wash it before bringing it back. Let alone eight hundred, no one wants three hundred.

.”

Ma Weidu pointed at the stains on the wooden bed, looking disgusted.

The more Lao Ma said this, the more He Xiao's heart moved. This must be a good thing. Otherwise, Lao Ma would have left long ago, and why would he still be here?

After one glance, he simply stopped pretending and walked directly towards the two of them.

"This wooden bed..."

While Ma Weitu was talking, he saw He Xiao walking over, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Losing his previous calmness, he hurriedly negotiated the price with the stall owner.

"Uncle, if you make it cheaper, eight hundred yuan is too expensive. My annual salary is not even eight hundred yuan."

"Uncle, how much can you lower the price? Eight hundred is really not that price."

The stall owner was a little disappointed. He didn't dare to wait. What if the big seller ran away?

Forget it, six hundred is just six hundred, it's quite a lot. At least I still have one hundred foreign exchange coupons. An old bed is sold for six hundred, but no one will believe it.

Glancing at He Xiao, he cursed in his heart. He really didn't look at the almanac when he went out today, and he was actually intercepted by a wealthy man in Xiangjiang.

Ma Weidu's face turned bitter. He really liked the stuff, but it was a bit expensive.

"It's not from a foreign country. It's from Hong Kong. Don't worry. The foreign exchange certificates in my hand were exchanged for Hong Kong dollars."

Ma Weidu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked at the stall owner, "Uncle..."

The more he looked at He Xiao, the angrier he became, but he couldn't stay any longer, so Ma Weidu turned around and left angrily.

He Xiao was also a little speechless. This man was really a thief. He was rich, but he was not a fool.

He could clearly see the wooden bed. It was in the style of Ming-style furniture. Except for the wooden boards and bed rails added later, the rest was all made of rosewood. He thought he could pick up a big leak today, but why did he have to cut off his beard?

?

"Son, we can't be taken advantage of. It's too expensive."

He Xiao frowned and took a few small tickets back from the uncle's hand. He was not used to not leaving any money on him.

After a while, he persuaded earnestly: "Sir, no, you really dare to ask for a thousand yuan. Who would be willing to spend a thousand yuan to buy this shabby bed? No one has raised the price like you."

Thinking of this, the uncle felt happy.

What the hell is this?

When he walked to the wooden bed, he touched the bedpost and felt very happy.

"You are a foreigner? Where did you get the foreign exchange coupons in your hand?"

Ma Weidu had a dark face, gritted his teeth, and suppressed his anger. When he heard that He Xiao dared to ask him for advice, he became even more angry.

The stall owner was a little heartbroken, but looking at the big ticket in his hand, he didn't dare to offend the big shopper. After complaining for a while, he went to the side to count the money.

The uncle glanced at him with disgust, then looked expectantly at He Xiao next to him.

Ma Weidu gasped and stared at the money in He Xiao's hand.

Silly Zhu grabbed He Xiao's arm, fearing that his son would be impulsive.

The uncle was a little dissatisfied. He turned to look at Ma Weidu.

"Uncle, let's do this. I'll use five hundred yuan, plus a hundred yuan in foreign exchange coupons, to exchange for your wooden bed. What do you think?"

"I……"

"Do you want to buy it or not?"

He didn't want to spend two hundred yuan in vain. Besides, he didn't have enough money in his pocket.

The uncle was a little excited, but he was also worried about the origin of the foreign exchange coupons.

"If that doesn't work, I'll sell it for eight hundred. This bed is inherited from my family."

Ma Weitu had a dark face and didn't want to speak at all. Let alone six hundred, he didn't even have one hundred in his hand.

"one thousand!"

Thinking about it, he was still unwilling to give in, "I'll pay 800, but you have to wait for me for a few days..."

"Foreign exchange coupons?"

The uncle was stunned, and then he thought carefully, aren't foreign exchange coupons only available to foreigners?

The uncle saw another group of people coming to the stall and felt confident.

He Xiao shamelessly asked the uncle: "Uncle, this wooden bed costs eight hundred, right?"

"Hey, do you understand the rules? Don't you know it's first come, first served?" Ma Weidu suddenly became anxious.

Ma Weidu cursed in his heart, touched the cloth pocket, and reluctantly gave up his position.

Looking left and right, he walked around the wooden bed but couldn't see what material it was made of.

Well, there's still five hundred left...

"Isn't there still money?"

"..."

"What are you doing?" Ma Weidu frowned and glanced at him.

Ma Weidu was startled, "What?"

In this era, foreign exchange coupons are hard currency and are easier to use than tickets.

He Xiao secretly muttered, no matter what, he succeeded in cutting off the Hu.

"Five hundred yuan, one hundred foreign exchange coupons, and this old bed of mine is yours."

What the hell!

"snort!"

"Yes, you can use the foreign exchange coupons to buy things at the Friendship Store."

"I want a thousand yuan. I won't sell it for less than a thousand yuan."

What can a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old know? Can he recognize red sandalwood? Have he seen Ming Dynasty furniture?

Ma Weidu felt 10,000 disbeliefs in his heart.

"Son..." Seeing that Si Zhu was about to speak again, He Xiao quickly stopped him, but could not let him cause trouble.

Take your foreign exchange coupons to the Friendship Store and you can buy everything, including color TVs and washing machines that are in short supply outside. There are rows of them in the Friendship Store, and you can even buy foreign goods.

"Son, don't buy it!" Silhu suddenly became anxious.

"Five hundred yuan, plus one hundred foreign exchange coupons, the number is six hundred, which is still four hundred short."

What a bad luck, usually he is the one who intercepts others!

"You come first. If you don't want it, I'll buy it later."

He Xiao smiled slightly and took a step back.

"Take a look, I'll take a look."

Turning to look at Ma Weidu, he asked shamelessly: "Brother Ma, is there anything you can say about this wooden bed?"

"I……"

He Xiao didn't say anything. He took out all the money he had and counted it. There were more than fifty Unity cards in total.

As the uncle spoke, he walked up to He Xiao and took the money from his hand.

…

He wasn't in a hurry. It looked like this old man didn't bring enough money, and there was no need to break up for a wooden bed.

He took more than thirty dollars with him when he went out today, and this was just his salary.

When he heard that the uncle had temporarily increased the price, Ma Weidu was so angry that he wanted to turn around and slap He Xiao to death.

Walking aside, he stared at He Xiao. He didn't believe that this man could really come up with a thousand yuan!

I don’t even believe that I would spend a thousand yuan to buy an old bed.

"..."

"This uncle is really greedy. I wonder if he will regret today's decision in ten years time..."

An old bed costs a thousand yuan. This is not a matter of taking advantage of others. Only fools buy it.

By the way, He Xiao remembered something and quickly reached into his pocket and took out a large foreign exchange coupon worth 100 yuan.

He Xiao was not in a hurry, he walked around the wooden bed, and then slowly approached the two of them.

"Hey, Brother Ma, you are too stingy."

"Am I stingy?"

Ma Weidu froze and turned around to point at himself in disbelief.

"Ah, bah! Boy, you'd better not get into my hands in the future."
