"Stools? I don't have any here. Why don't you go to the store that sells redwood furniture in front? Their wooden furniture is pretty good."
The old man shook his head and pointed to a store on the street to Jiang Che.
Jiang Che didn't really want to buy a stool. His ultimate goal was to buy the rotten wooden stake that the boss sat on.
I'm just worried that buying rotten wooden stakes directly would be too deliberate, and it would be troublesome if the old man became suspicious.
That's why he used this roundabout method to first buy a product, and then find a way to get the boss to put the rotten wooden stake together and sell it to him.
"No, sir, since we use tree roots to make the coffee table, we should also use tree roots to make the stools. That's the right way to match them!"
"But I saw this small tree root in the corner of your stall. It can be used after some trimming. It's still missing a stool. Do you have any other tree roots of the same size?"
Jiang Che pretended to be distressed, walked over, picked up the small wooden stake in the corner, and asked the old man.
Jiang Che deliberately hinted at a wooden stake of the same size to see if the old man could think of the rotten wooden stake he usually sat on.
But seeing the old man's embarrassed look, Jiang Che knew that the old man was not aware of the rotten wooden stake at all. It was also possible that the rotten wooden stake had always been used as a stool, making him subconsciously forget its existence.
"Without the young man, all my stock 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 anyone suitable for you."
The old man still shook his head to indicate that there was no such stock.
"No, sir. I need it the day after tomorrow. Let me pick it out. If it doesn't work, make a bigger stool."
Jiang Che was holding a small wooden stake and walking around the stall to pick and choose. He accidentally kicked over the rotten wooden stake that the old man usually sat on.
He immediately pretended to go over and help him up, then looked at the old man in surprise.
"Uncle, this stool of yours is really nice. It's a perfect match for the one I have. How about selling it to me?"
Who knew that the old man would shake his head like a rattle and immediately say, "No, no, how can I sell this to you?"
"This is just a rotten wooden stake I picked up in the mountains. It's been burned, and I've used it as a stool for so many years that it's worn out. It's completely worthless. Isn't this destroying my reputation?"
"If your parents knew about this, they would come and cause trouble for me!"
Jiang Che's heart sank when he heard the old man disagreed, but he didn't expect that the old man's next words gave Jiang Che hope again.
I thought the old man was reluctant to part with it, but I didn't expect that he thought the wooden stake was too rubbish. It was really unexpected. Jiang Che was slightly delighted in his heart.
"Master, you think too much. As long as I don't say anything, no one will know that it has anything to do with you."
"Please sell me these two little wooden blocks. I really like them. Just name your price."
Jiang Che looked at the old man and saw that he had a strong desire to buy.
Seeing Jiang Che was so stubborn, the old man thought about it and finally nodded and said.
"Well, you're such a stubborn boy. That rotten piece of wood isn't worth much anyway. Since you like it, I'll give it to you."
"The smaller one is the root of a pine tree, and it's younger. I'll give it to you for 500 yuan."
"Okay, thank you so much, I'll pay you right away. I'll definitely come back to you if I need anything in the future."
There was also an unexpected gain! Jiang Che really didn't expect to get this rotten wooden stake without spending a penny, and happily paid for it.
"Uncle, let me take these two little ones away first. I'll drive over later to get the big one. I'll leave it here with you for a while, okay?"
"No problem, leave it there, go ahead young man."
The old man waved his hand, pulled a recliner over and lay down under the shade of the tree to enjoy the cool air, feeling so comfortable.
Jiang Che happily picked up the black rotten wooden block on the ground. It felt heavy in his hand, and it was smoky and had cracks all over the trunk like broken glass.
The annual rings are no longer visible, and the broken parts seem to have been polished by the old man, and the patina left by years of friction has made it blurred.
Anyway, Jiang Che couldn't see anything strange about it and didn't understand why Zhuzi was so excited.
Now Jiang Che was holding the rotten wooden stake, and the beads in his body were jumping like a happy child, expressing his desire to eat the rotten wooden stake.
Jiang Che quickly tried to calm it down. He couldn't do anything rash in public.
The bead actually has its own emotions. Jiang Che suddenly had a very absurd idea. He wondered if the bead had its own consciousness?
Jiang Che, who was thinking about something, ran too fast. He was wearing a hat and couldn't see the situation on the road clearly. He seemed to have bumped into someone accidentally.
Jiang Che instinctively reached out to embrace the person who had been bumped into. Suddenly, a very pleasant perfume filled his nose. He seemed to feel something on his hand? Something soft!
"Ah, rogue."
With a loud cry, the person who was holding her broke free, and then a slap hit Jiang Che's face hard.
Who would have thought that the slap would also send Jiang Che's hat flying away, and Jiang Che's bald head was suddenly exposed to the air.
"You you...Puff, goose goose goose..."
"Why are you like this? Your hair looks like it was chewed by a dog."
The girl was about to get angry, but when she saw Jiang Che's hairstyle, her anger disappeared immediately and she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
Jiang Che finally reacted and looked up, he was stunned. Standing in front of him was a young and beautiful girl, her fair skin shining in the sun.
Her delicate oval face had a slight baby fat, and when she smiled she showed two dimples. Her big, bright eyes curved into two beautiful crescents.
