"Master Zhang, how can you...how can I ask you to move cabbages? The children are all here!" When Aunt Zhao turned to call someone, Zhang Junping had already stepped forward and picked up four cabbages, preparing to carry them to the courtyard.
"It's okay. If you encounter someone, you can't look at it, right? I'm young and I just have some strength." Zhang Junping replied with a smile and continued walking into the courtyard.
With the addition of a big laborer like Zhang Junping, the cabbage moving speed was much faster, and it was completed in more than half an hour.
"Master Zhang, I'm tired of you today! Have a drink of water and have a rest."
"It's okay, it's okay. Aunt Zhao, you bought the cabbage so early. It hasn't snowed yet, so it's hard to store it!"
There are also things to pay attention to when storing Chinese cabbage in winter. It is best to store it after the first snowfall, so that it can be stored until the beginning of the next spring.
If stored too early, the cabbage will rot easily due to the high temperature.
"There's nothing we can do about it. If you buy it late, it won't be available anymore. I just grabbed more than a hundred pills. I'll bury them all in the soil later. They won't rot." Aunt Zhao is naturally an expert in life.
, has its own way of storing Chinese cabbage.
The vitality of cabbage is quite tenacious. Even though the roots have been chopped off, as long as the cabbage is buried in the soil and covered with straw or other things, the cabbage will not rot and can continue to grow.
The only disadvantage is that it takes up a lot of space. For people who live in large courtyards, space is especially valuable.
The more than 100 cabbages Aunt Zhao bought took up enough space to build another small house.
Only Beijingers living in Wangfujing can use such a luxurious method to store Chinese cabbage for the winter.
In contrast, the living conditions in the large courtyards in Wangfujing are still much better than in other places. Many small houses have been built in the courtyards, but at least there are roads. Even if Sun Yue traveled to this era, he could push his bicycle.
Walked over easily.
"Aunt Zhao, there's nothing wrong with that. I'll leave first."
"Hey, Master Zhang, please wait a moment.
Let me introduce you to someone. This is Xiao in our courtyard. Didn’t you just get a house and want to buy furniture? Don’t you have something called whole-house customization? I don’t understand either. Please explain it to Xiao.
.
When I was little, this is the Master Xiao Zhang I told you. I tell you, Master Xiao Zhang is a very honest man. If you leave your work to him, you will definitely be right.
Just the day before yesterday, Master Xiao Zhang bought a yard near Liulichang. The owner of the yard asked for 200,000 yuan. You can’t even guess how much Master Xiao Zhang finally gave him!” Aunt Zhao’s speech was very distinctive.
To my surprise, it seemed like they were talking about cross talk.
"One hundred and ninety thousand?" Shi also catered to Aunt Zhao and guessed a number.
"No, guess again!"
"180,000?"
"No, you guessed too little, forget it. Let me tell you, otherwise you will never guess it in your life.
Master Zhang finally gave me 275,000 yuan!"
"If you want two hundred thousand, give me two hundred and seventy-five thousand? Isn't this a fool?
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Master Zhang, I made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!" Xiao Xiao blurted out. After finishing speaking, he realized that the victim was here and hurriedly apologized.
"It's okay. Many people who know this say I'm a fool. You're not the first, nor the last." Zhang Junping laughed at himself.
"Master Zhang, I'm very curious. The original owner asked for 200,000 yuan. Why did you insist on giving him 275,000 yuan?"
"Haha, it's actually very simple, but as for the yard, it's worth up to 200,000 yuan. If you negotiate the price, it can be reduced to one or two thousand yuan.
However, there are still things in the yard. There are many calligraphy and paintings by masters, as well as many Qing Dynasty antiques and Qing Dynasty furniture. These things are also valuable.
Although each item is not valuable, only one or two yuan, but there are so many things that cannot be accommodated.
The landlord didn't care about those things, but I can't pretend to be confused, right?
We have to be virtuous when we are doing things, and we can’t get rich by deceiving others, right?”
"Master Zhang, I'm convinced!
Just what you said, I leave all my furniture and house decoration to you!
Also, our unit has just allocated a house, and many colleagues are planning to buy furniture and decorate the house. I will introduce it to you later, not for anything else, just for you, the word "virtue".
You not only said it, you actually did it!" Xiao Xiao grabbed Zhang Junping's hand, held it tightly, and said with some excitement.
Without even asking about the price, she directly handed over the furniture and decoration of the house to Zhang Junping. Aunt Zhao said that this young man was also a man who was not short of money.
"Then I want to thank you in advance!
When do you have time, I will go to your new house and measure the area so that I can customize furniture for you."
"Master Zhang, my new house hasn't been built yet, it's just been decided.
By the way, I worked at Xinhua Bookstore when I was young. You are both cultural people. If you communicate well in the future, maybe we can become friends." Aunt Zhao said with a smile.
I don't feel unhappy at all because her commission was affected by directly introducing clients to Zhang Junping when I was young.
"I heard from Aunt Zhao that your furniture store will officially open in a few days. Then I will go over to support it and select some furniture.
Anyway, we are not far apart, I work at Xinhua Bookstore here in Wangfujing, and we are neighbors." Xiao said enthusiastically.
"Okay, no problem. I welcome Brother Shi to the store at any time."
Not done yet? It’s not done yet! Zhang Junping likes orders like this.
After saying a few more polite words, Zhang Junping said goodbye and left.
Zhang Junping did not expect that when he helped move the cabbage, he actually brought out a customized order for the whole house.
Of course, this order was not brought out by moving cabbage, but brought to him by his reality and the "virtue" he abides by.
A very simple truth is that everyone likes to make friends with real people and do business with real people.
It can be regarded as what the old man often says: good deeds are rewarded with good deeds.
I was in a good mood and my steps became brisk. I walked along the alley to school, humming a song as I walked.
When my grandfather was little
often play here
tall front door
As if next to my home
A pile of withered grass
A few crickets chirping
Accompanying him through those gray years
Eating a bunch of candied haws is considered a festival
His three meals a day
Wotou pickles and a big bowl of tea.
When I returned to school, the first thing I did was naturally go to the old lady’s studio.
That's where Zhang Junping and Huang Xue go on dates every day.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the old lady and Huang Xue sitting in the studio chatting.
"Grandma Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look better and you seem to be several years younger.
Do I have to change my name to you as Aunt Liu in the future?" Zhang Junping stood behind the old lady in a flattering manner and gently squeezed her shoulders.
"You brat, your mouth has improved faster than your skills." The old lady patted Zhang Junping's hand and cursed with a smile.
