Chapter 436

Su Qingci had a very good impression of Zhang Yanxu. He had a warm and kind feeling that made people very easy to approach. He spoke very politely, just like a gentleman scholar in the late Qing Dynasty.

Su Qingci roughly estimated the price in his mind. These things would not sell for much money if they were taken to the scrap yard, but buying new ones would be ridiculously expensive.

Especially the three large wardrobes and tables, etc., the workmanship and materials used are all of the highest quality, and they are indeed rare and good things. And the large ornamental jar is an old item.

"Uncle Zhang, if you take this thing to the scrap yard, it probably won't sell for much. I'm going to buy a new one, and it'll probably cost several hundred. Let's take the lower price. I'll give you 120, what do you think?"

Zhang Yanxu was stunned for a moment. He thought the other party would pay him according to the recycling station price.

"Here, here, I don't need so much. They're all used. How about you just give me 100?"

Su Qingci found the other person's painful expression very funny. He looked like he had already cut his flesh, but he still wondered if the other person would suffer a loss.

She was not short of money, so she counted out 120 yuan and stuffed it into the old man's arms. "Uncle Zhang, 120 is enough. You have a lot of coal cakes. You need a ticket to buy them. I can also use those jars and vats."

Zhang Yanxu's face flushed, "Well, I'll take advantage of you then."

After the handover, Zhang Yan left, and after a while, he came back.

He held two hot roasted sweet potatoes in his hands and handed them to Su Qingci. After thanking her again, he hurried away with a grateful look on his face.

Su Qingci was in a very happy mood, holding the roasted sweet potato in her hand.

Not to mention 120, even if she said 80 or even 60, the other party would probably sell it.

But she liked Zhang Yanxu's style of doing things and was willing to pay a few dozen more dollars.

"Sister, if there's nothing else, then I'll leave."

Su Qingci handed a roasted sweet potato to Dachang, who quickly shook his head.

"Take it. It's so big, I can't finish it."

While peeling the skin, Su Qingci asked, "Do you know anyone who does sanitation?"

"Ah?" Dachang had a face full of question marks.

"Cleaning guy, clean everything with the water I mixed, and I'll pay you."

Dachang quickly came to his senses and said, "Sister, do you think I can do it?"

Su Qingci looked him up and down and said, "No, I want someone who can work."

"Give me three dollars, but make it clear to me."

Dachang took a step forward and said, "Sister, give it to me. I promise to make it clear for you. I can't do it, but my mother can. My mother is the best at it. I'll go call her now. We won't charge you until we're done. We'll do it the way you say. If you're not satisfied, we won't charge you."

"Okay, then go ahead."

"Hey, I'll go right away."

Su Qingci slowly ate the roasted sweet potato in her hand, then patted her stomach and walked to the big vat.

He drew up half a tank of water, took a large bottle of 84 disinfectant from the farm and poured it in, stirred it a few times, and threw out a few rags.

After all, it was a house that someone else had lived in. Since she was going to move in, she had to do a thorough cleaning.

Dachang didn't make her wait long, and soon came over on a bicycle with a woman.

"Mom, right here. I told you, no kidding, no kidding, there are really three pieces."

The woman followed Dachang in with a half-believing and half-doubting look, and asked Su Qingci with a look of disbelief, "Comrade, do you give three yuan for cleaning your house?"

Su Qingci nodded, "Yes, three dollars for cleaning."

"Really? That's great! I thought this guy was just kidding me. I can do this job. I promise to clean it up for you."

The woman rolled up her sleeves and waved her hand, "Just tell me how to do it."

Su Qingci pointed to the half-filled tank of water on the ground. "This is the disinfectant I prepared. Pour it in with a bucket and wipe everything. The cabinets, window sills, door sills, floors, everything. Then, clear out the garbage and put everything in order. Take out all the jars in the kitchen and wash them. Rinse the yard as well. And take all the coal cakes in the shed to the kitchen..."

"Okay, that's all. I'll come over this afternoon to inspect it. I'll pay you if there's no problem."

The woman was stunned. Is it so troublesome?

But when I think about it, if I give you three yuan, a regular worker only earns about one yuan a day, three yuan can buy a lot of food.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, we're done. Just come over this afternoon to inspect the goods. I promise to make sure they're spotless and shine brightly!"

Mrs. Chang was not exaggerating. When Su Qingci came over in the afternoon, the place looked brand new.

Su Qingci picked at the crack in the door, touched the threshold, and then took a walk around the kitchen. Not only were the coal cakes stacked neatly, but the several low stools inside were also lined up in a row.

The dark gray yard was also painted to reveal the original color of the stone bricks underneath.

Even the gate outside became several levels brighter.

Mother Chang followed Su Qingci with a heavy heart. She was afraid that she would meet someone who was difficult to talk to and would find fault with her and not pay her.

"Well, not bad, thank you for your hard work. I am very satisfied."

Su Qingci took out the money and handed it to Chang Ma, "This is the money I promised you."

"Oh, thank you, young comrade. You are such a good comrade and you keep your word. If you need something like this in the future, come find me. I don't have any special skills, but I can do the work in this room well."

When Chang Ma touched the three dollars she had received, the fatigue on her face disappeared.

"Zhijun, let's go home, hehe."

Dachang looked like he had lost all hope in life. He had wanted to find something for his mother to do, but he was forced to work by her for most of the day, and his waist was almost broken from exhaustion.

These three dollars are not that easy to get.

After seeing off the Chang family mother and son, Su Qingci began to decorate her own house.

This is her house alone.

The solid wooden bed frame in the farm was put out, the mattress with a Simmons cover was put out, and some suitable clothes were hung in the closet.

The items that had been received from the farm were scattered throughout the house.

I then placed some green plants from the farm in two rows in the yard, and the whole yard suddenly became more lively.

When everything was almost done, Su Qingci pushed her bicycle and prepared to go shopping at the department store. All the kitchen utensils and seasonings were not suitable to be taken out from the farm.

We also need to purchase a batch of bedding and daily necessities that are characteristic of this era.

Fortunately, the department store was not too far away. After three or four trips back and forth, I finally bought everything I needed.

Looking at the time, it was already 6:30 in the evening. Su Qingci closed the door and went into the farm.

It's been a while since we had a seafood feast, so tonight we've arranged sashimi, hairy crabs, and gooseneck barnacles.
