"Stools, I really don't have them here. Why don't you, young man, go to the house that sells mahogany in front of you? Their wooden furniture is of pretty good quality."
The uncle shook his head and pointed Jiang Che to a store on the street.
Jiang Che really wants to buy a stool. His ultimate goal is to buy the rotten wooden pile where the boss is sitting.
I'm just worried that buying rotten wooden piles is too deliberate, and it will be troublesome if the uncle gets suspicious.
That's why I used this roundabout way to buy a product first, and then found a way to get the boss to put the rotten wooden pile together and sell it to him.
"No, uncle, since we use tree roots to make the coffee table, we must also use tree roots to make the stools. This is how it works!"
"But in your stall, I saw that the small tree root in the corner can still be used after repairing it. It still needs a stool. Do you have any other tree roots of the same size?"
Jiang Che pretended to be distressed, walked over and picked up the small wooden stake in the corner, and asked the old man.
Jiang Che deliberately hinted at the same-sized wooden pile to see if the uncle could think of the rotten wooden pile he usually sat on.
But seeing the embarrassed look on the old man's face, Jiang Che knew that the old man was not aware of the rotten wooden pile at all. It was also possible that the rotten wooden pile had been used as a stool and he had subconsciously forgotten its existence.
"No more young man, all my inventory is here."
"If you're not in a hurry, give me some time and I can go to my friend's place to see if there's anything suitable for you."
The old man still shook his head and said he had no such inventory.
"No, uncle, I will use it the day after tomorrow. I'll have to pick and choose. I really can't make a bigger stool."
Jiang Che was holding a small wooden stake and going around the stalls to choose from, and accidentally kicked over the rotten wooden stake where the old man usually sat.
He immediately pretended to go over and help him up, and then looked at the old man in surprise.
"Uncle, this stool of yours is not bad. It will make a perfect pair with the one I have. How about you sell this to me?"
Who knew that the old man shook his head like a rattle and said immediately: "No, no, how can I sell this to you?"
"This is just a rotten wooden pile. I picked it up on the mountain. It was burned by fire and has been worn down by me as a stool for so many years. It has no value at all. Isn't this destroying my sign?"
"If your parents find out, don't come and trouble me!"
Jiang Che's heart sank when he heard that the uncle disagreed. Unexpectedly, the uncle's next words gave Jiang Che hope again.
I thought the uncle was reluctant to part with it, but he didn't expect that the wooden stake was too rubbish. It was so unexpected that Jiang Che felt slightly happy.
"Uncle, you are thinking too much. As long as I don't tell anyone, no one will know that it has anything to do with you."
"Just sell me these two small wooden blocks. I really like them. Just tell me how much they cost."
Jiang Che watched the old man show a strong desire to buy.
Seeing Jiang Che being so stubborn, the old man thought about it and finally nodded and said.
"Well, you young man really doesn't listen to advice. Well, that rotten piece of wood isn't worth anything anyway. Since you like it, I'll give it to you."
"The small one is the root of a pine tree. The tree is relatively young. I'll give you five hundred yuan."
"Okay, thank you very much, uncle. I will pay you now. I will definitely come back to you if I need it in the future."
There was also an unexpected gain! Jiang Che really didn't expect to get this rotten wooden pile without spending the last penny, so he happily paid for it.
"Uncle, let me take the two little ones away first. I will drive over and pick up the big one later. Can I keep him at your place for a while?"
"No problem, leave it alone, young man, go quickly."
The uncle waved his hand and pulled a deck chair over to lie under the shade of the tree to enjoy the coolness. It was so comfortable.
Jiang Che happily picked up the black rotten wooden pillar on the ground, and it was slightly heavy in his hands. It was smoky, and there were cracks like broken glass all over the tree trunk.
The annual rings are no longer visible, and the broken area seems to have been polished by the uncle. In addition, the patina left by years of friction has become a blur.
Anyway, Jiang Che couldn't see anything strange and didn't understand why Zhuzi was so excited.
Now Jiang Che is holding the rotten wooden stake, and the beads in his body are still jumping like a happy child, expressing his emotion of wanting to eat this rotten wooden stake.
Jiang Che hurriedly appeased it, it was not allowed to act recklessly in public now.
The bead actually had its own emotions. Jiang Che suddenly came up with a very ridiculous idea. He wondered if the bead had its own consciousness?
Jiang Che, who was just thinking about something, ran too fast and didn't see the situation clearly on the road even though he was wearing a hat. He seemed to bump into someone accidentally.
The flexible Jiang Che reflexively reached out to hug the person who was hit. Suddenly, a very good perfume smell hit his nose, and he seemed to touch something on his hand? It was soft!
"Ah, gangster."
With a loud cry, the person holding him broke away, and then a slap hit Jiang Che hard on the face.
Who would have thought that Jiang Che's hat flew away with the slap, and Jiang Che's scabies were suddenly exposed to the air.
"You you...poof, goose goose..."
"Why are you like this? Your hair looks like something a dog has chewed..."
The girl was just about to get angry, but when she saw Jiang Che's hairstyle, all her anger disappeared and she couldn't stand upright with laughter.
Jiang Che also reacted at this time and raised his head. For a moment, he was stunned. Standing in front of him was a young and beautiful girl, with pink and white skin shining in the sun.
She has a delicate oval face with a slight baby fat, two small dimples exposed when she smiles, and a pair of big bright eyes that are curved into two beautiful crescents.
He is about 1.7cm tall, with a curvy figure. He is dressed in cool casual clothes, wearing a pink hat, and his black hair is tied in two braids on his chest. He looks very playful.
Jiang Che was really amazed. He really didn't expect there to be such a beautiful girl in the county town. He felt the residual warmth on his hands and looked at the girl's towering figure that was trembling with laughter. He felt a little embarrassed.
No wonder the girl was so excited just now and called him a gangster and even slapped him.
The girl's unique laughter also attracted people on the street to look at him and point at him. Only then did Jiang Che react and quickly picked up the hat on the ground and put it on.
Seeing Jiang Che put on his hat, the girl felt relieved a lot. She wiped the tears from her eyes, stood up straight and said.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just couldn't help it."
"But whoever made you act dishonest just now, we will treat it as even.
"It's okay. I did something wrong too. I'm really sorry that I didn't pay attention and bumped into you. Didn't I hurt you just now?"
Jiang Che touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, and asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I won't tell you anymore. I'm still in a hurry to go to the pet hospital."
The girl waved to Jiang Che, holding a cardboard box and hurriedly turned around to leave.
"Xiaotang, don't run away, wait for grandpa."
Before the girl could run away, three elderly people were chasing after her.
The girl sighed but stopped, waiting for the three old men to approach.
"You girl, you are really careless. What should you do if a girl runs around in a place where her family is unfamiliar and something happens?"
One of the old men came over and scolded the girl.
"Grandpa, if you don't hurry up, the kitten is going to die!"
The girl showed the box to the three of them, and Jiang Che happened to see what was inside.
