Chapter 272 Buy a sewing machine
Wang Junyao would never believe this if he had never tasted delicious food.
Sun Changxing didn't explain anymore. Anyway, Wang Junyao would automatically slap him in the face later, just like himself yesterday.
After Liu Chen finished it, he went to accompany Li Chunsheng and the others.
"Come on, I'm waiting for you. Grandpa won't let me eat. He said he'd wait for you to come and eat together." Li Xiaoxi said with a mouth full.
"It's okay, you guys eat your food, I don't like it very much." Liu Chen said with a smile.
Liu Chen thought to himself, it was because it was rare in this era. If in 1979, no one wanted this thing, the fish seller would only sell it in one morning. Many people didn't like it at all. The main reason was that there was no seasoning for this thing at that time.
Fishy smell.
"Then I'm not polite, I'm going to eat it." Li Xiaoxi wasn't polite either, picked up the kuaizi and started eating.
I don’t know what’s wrong, but she’s usually not like this. She’s only so unscrupulous in front of her friends. She’s very reserved in front of others, but now she’s letting go.
Originally, Liu Chen was not a serious person and also liked to joke, so she didn't have to be so restrained.
"Xiaoxi, eat slowly, no one will compete with you." Li Chunsheng said with a smile.
She knows that her granddaughter eats enough of what she likes to eat at one time and doesn't eat anything she doesn't like.
She likes to eat durian, and she can buy and eat it for several days in a row, making the whole room smelly, but it makes Li Chunsheng disgusted.
"Xiao Chen, your wine is really good. Did you really make this wine yourself?" Li Chunsheng put down his wine glass and said in disbelief.
He felt that this wine was similar to the five-step snake wine he drank before, as if they were both made by the same person.
"Oh, it's like this. I have a master who is very good at making wine. I studied with him for a while, and then I learned how to make it myself." Liu Chen said with a smile.
Liu Chen also admires Master Kong Yunxiang. He is really powerful and has superb medical skills. He knows how to make various medicinal wines. The medicinal wines he makes are so effective. It’s amazing to think that Grandma You, who has been paralyzed in bed for many years, can be cured.
Amazing. If it were now, people would probably queue up to see him.
After eating here for a while, Li Xiaoxi touched his belly and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm full."
Li Chunsheng smiled and shook his head: "Girl, you don't eat in the morning and then eat a big meal at noon. This hurts your stomach."
"It's okay, Liu Chen has pork belly soup to cure stomach problems, haha."
Liu Chen wanted to laugh, but he held it back because there was this logic.
The three of them walked to the cashier. Li Chunsheng had to pay for everything. He knew that this table of dishes was not cheap. Just these fishes cost several thousand yuan. Plus the wine and other dishes, it was so expensive.
At least it costs tens of thousands. Liu Chen cannot afford to lose such a large amount of money.
Liu Chen said he didn't want any money.
Li Chunsheng just taught him too many things, so the money for apprenticeship is nothing. Besides, I just grabbed a lot of medicine from Li Chunsheng, and they were all given at cost price.
Liu Chen sent some medicinal wine to Li Chunsheng, but after repeated delays, Li Chunsheng finally accepted it.
I found a driver to take Li Chunsheng and his grandson back home.
"Oh my god, boss, you don't even accept that much money. That's tens of thousands of dollars." Wen Wenwen stared at her and said.
Ma Xinran next to her didn't say anything. She knew in her heart that it seemed that Li Xiaoxi was still very important to Liu Chen, possibly even more important than her own position in Liu Chen's mind.
"Don't say it's just this little money, we can't accept more money.
"
"Oh, okay." Wen Wenwen stopped talking.
Ma Xinran felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this. The relationship is not ordinary, so what kind of relationship is it?
At this time, Sun Changxing came down again, walked to Liu Chen's side, and said with a smile: "Boss Li, do you still have the medicinal wine? My friend said he would go and get him two bottles. His father's back pain was severe.
Thinking that mine no longer hurts, I gave them two bottles."
Liu Chen wanted to laugh: "Is this the friend who didn't believe in my restaurant food just now?"
Sun Changxing nodded sheepishly.
Then Sun Changxing felt a little regretful. If he told Liu Chen that he was that friend, would Liu Chen still sell him medicinal wine?
Liu Chen is not such a person. Anyway, he made this medicinal wine by himself. It is because the tiger bone wine is rare and will be gone after drinking it. Therefore, Liu Chen used a lot of herbs to make a medicinal wine similar to tiger bone wine.
, I didn’t expect that the effect is similar to that of tiger bone wine, or even more effective than tiger bone wine.
How could I not accept the money given to me? If I don’t make money, then wouldn’t I be a fool?
"Boss Sun, I really don't have much left of this medicinal wine. I'll check it out later. If there's still more, I'll give him two bottles. If there's no more, forget it."
"Boss Li is so generous. Okay, I'll give him a reply right away. Oh, and also, I'll add another portion of the Huaiwang fish."
"Sorry, Boss Sun, the fish is really gone. Next time."
"Boss, settle the accounts."
"Okay."
Liu Dechao said with a smile.
Hu Xiurong also went to the kitchen to help. There were really a lot of guests today.
Ma Xinran and Wen Rou were responsible for serving the dishes and clearing the table.
In this way, I was busy until one or two o'clock in the afternoon.
After all the guests have left, everyone eats.
Liu Chen didn't eat with everyone here. He said he had something to do and went out.
My motorcycle is out of oil and I need to refill it.
I still have to go shopping. There are so many things to buy right now.
After driving around, he quickly arrived at a pharmaceutical company and bought a lot of medicines. Anyway, he bought all the medicines to treat common diseases.
I went to the supermarket again and bought a lot of things, including rice, noodles, oil, meat, snacks, fruits, various hot pot balls, etc.
I drove and picked up the courier, and the washing machine was delivered directly to the rental house.
This time I bought a lot, and I spent the whole afternoon shopping.
There was a lot of money spent, tens of thousands of dollars were all gone.
Back at the rental house, Liu Chen was so tired that he lay on the bed.
Liu Chen bought a lot of instant noodles, tore off all the outer packaging, put the noodles in a thick plastic bag, and put the seasoning packets inside, so that they would not be broken even in 1979.
, and it still tastes the same.
Liu Chen took a rest and disposed of all the things he bought with dates on them. It would be unacceptable if he didn't do this. If he was discovered, he really wouldn't be able to explain it.
Liu Chen looked at the many cardboard boxes piled up in the yard. He originally wanted to throw them out, but he thought, these can be sold for money, so he might as well forget it. If someone collects rags, he can also exchange them for some money.
When his drowsiness hit the pillow, Liu Chen thought about something.
"I'm collecting rags. I have some scrap metal bottles and rags to sell."
Fortunately, the cardboard boxes in Liu Chen's yard are ready for sale.
Liu Chen went out and called the rag collector.
This rag collector is an old man in his sixties or seventies, riding a gas-burning tricycle.
The tricycle is full of cardboard boxes, mineral water bottles, a sewing machine, a washing machine, etc.
Liu Chen walked around the tricycle. Not to mention, there was a lot of stuff collected here.
Liu Chen saw a sewing machine tied with a rope. This sewing machine was many years old. It was a Panda brand, which was the most popular brand in the 1980s. It was all the rage at that time. Who has such a sewing machine?
, which is equivalent to driving a Maserati in a rural home now.
Liu Chen looked at it again and again. Although this sewing machine was decades old, it was very well preserved and all parts were still intact. It can be imagined that its owner still cherishes things very much.
"Uncle, can this sewing machine not work?"
"Hey, why can't you use it? This is fine. It's just that there are fewer people making clothes now. Who among the young people will use this? Nowadays they just buy ready-made clothes. This family is renovating their house. I feel
This thing takes up space at home, so he sold it to me for 50 yuan." Zhao Daguo said.
50 yuan is too cheap. In 1979, a sewing machine would have cost one or two hundred yuan.
"Uncle, how much can you probably get for this sewing machine when you sell it to the purchasing station?"
"This can't be sold for much. I only earn ten or twenty yuan each."
If this guy sells it to collectors, he can still make some money. Generally, he can earn a thousand or eight hundred yuan. If he sells it as junk, it's not worth a lot of money at all.
When Liu Chen heard this, he thought it was okay. He might as well keep the sewing machine and take it to 1979. It would be a good choice.
"Uncle, this sewing machine costs 100 yuan, can I buy it?"
"Young man, is this useful to you? This is worthless."
"Well, my grandma probably likes this, and I want to buy one like this for her." Liu Chen made up a random reason.
Zhao Daguo didn't care. He originally collected this and sold it to the purchasing station. If he sold it to Liu Chen, he could get more money, so why not do it.
Okay, then I'll sell it to you.
Nowadays, many young people have never seen this sewing machine, let alone use it to make clothes.
In that era, if women wanted to sew clothes, they had to rely on their hands. Moreover, families at that time had many children. They had to work during the day and stay up late at night with kerosene lamps burning.
At that time, if a family had a sewing machine, it was considered fashionable, especially in rural areas. If a family had a sewing machine, its status in the village would be improved a lot. If a family had torn clothes and sheets, it would be considered fashionable.
I will come to your house to sew clothes.
In that era, when some people got married at home, the dowry they bought would include a sewing machine. In addition, if the family had the conditions, bicycles and tape recorders were very luxurious features.
Zhao Daguo packed up all the cardboard boxes in Liu Chen's yard. Not to mention, Liu Chen still had a lot of cardboard boxes. They sold them for a total of 66 yuan, which is 60 yuan.
Here Liu Chen gave Zhao Daguo another 40 yuan.
The two people worked together to lift the sewing machine off the car.
