Just when Chen Wang was in distress, he saw a familiar face.
The first time I invited Xiao Xu to dinner at that restaurant, I happened to meet Xu Tiancheng who was having dinner with several employees from the supply and marketing cooperative, one of whom was this person.
Chen Wang immediately parked his bicycle, walked over quickly and said hello.
"Hello, comrade!"
"Who are you……"
The young man looked towards Chen Wang following the voice and felt that he looked very familiar.
"Excuse me, is Director Xu here? We met in that restaurant before."
Chen Wang reminded with a smile.
"Oh oh oh... I remember now. You are a good friend of Director Xu's daughter."
The young man said with sudden enlightenment.
"Yes, it is."
"Director Xu is in the warehouse at the back. He's busy today. Shall I take you to see him?"
"Is it convenient? Will it disturb you from doing your work?"
"It's okay, it's okay, come with me."
After the young man finished speaking, he walked in front to lead the way.
Chen Wang ran over, pushed his bicycle and caught up with the young man.
The warehouse was just behind the supply and marketing cooperative. After taking a detour there, Chen Wang saw Xu Tiancheng directing employees to unload goods from a Jiefang brand truck.
"Director Xu, someone is looking for you."
The young man shouted.
Xu Tiancheng looked up and saw Chen Wang behind him, a smile appeared on his face.
"Awang, you're here!"
"Director Xu, sorry to bother you."
Chen Wang smiled apologetically.
"No, no."
Xu Tiancheng waved his hand and said to the young man, "Xiao Li, come over and help watch. I'll talk to Xiao Chen."
"Okay."
The young man responded and ran over to temporarily replace Xu Tiancheng.
Xu Tiancheng walked over to Chen Wang and asked with a smile, "Is it about the leopard skin?"
"Yes, I came to ask how it went."
Chen Wang answered with a smile.
"Don't worry, I've sent it to you for auction. They take it very seriously, but the auction will be held in the city after the New Year. If you're interested, I can take you to the scene then."
"So when exactly is the auction?"
"It hasn't been decided yet, but it will be at least after the tenth day of the Lunar New Year!"
“I see!”
Chen Wang nodded and asked, "Did the auctioneer tell us how much the commission is?"
"Of course, this depends on the specific amount of the auction. The sales amount is different, and the handling fee ratio is also different. Don't worry, I have fought for the best cooperation conditions for you. If the leopard skin is sold for less than 5,000, it will be 5 points. If it is sold for more than 5,000, it will be 3 points."
"Understood."
That being said, it's still okay.
In Chen Wang's opinion, the auction price of the leopard skin would not exceed 5,000, but it would definitely be much higher than the 2,500 that it would cost if sold directly to Xu Tiancheng.
After deducting the 5% handling fee and 10% for Xu Tiancheng, what he and Chen Dazhuang will get should definitely be more than 2,500.
"I asked around a bit, and these things are becoming increasingly rare in the mountains. Perhaps the price I'll get when I sell them will give you a pleasant surprise."
Xu Tiancheng smiled and said.
"No way, its value is there, it can't be sold for 5,000, that's twice as much."
Chen Wang had a skeptical expression on his face.
"That's hard to say, we'll see when the time comes. By the way, will you go then?"
"If I have time, I'll go take a look. Will it be a bother to you?"
"It's not a problem. It's just on the way. Then come and see me before the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. I'll see what day it is then."
"OK."
After talking about this matter, the two chatted for a while, and then Chen Wang said goodbye and left.
…
…
When I got home, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
When the little girl saw the various fireworks and firecrackers he bought, she jumped for joy.
When Chen Wang went out to town in the morning, she repeatedly reminded him to buy some fireworks and firecrackers for her.
But the little girl didn't expect that Chen Wang would buy so much.
"Don't do it during the day. Wait until night."
Chen Wang pointed at the little girl and said in an unquestionable tone.
"oh!"
The little girl nodded obediently.
Chen Wang suddenly thought of that naughty kid and asked tentatively, "What would you do if I didn't buy these?"
The little girl looked at him in confusion and replied, "Forget it if you don't have it. You can buy it at the canteen, but there aren't that many. I can buy it with my own pocket money."
Chen Wang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Wait until dark. I'll take you to set off firecrackers when it gets dark."
"Okay! Brother is the best."
The little girl was so happy that she was flattering him and was already looking forward to the dark coming soon.
At this time, Lin Xiuqin came into the room with an enamel pot and handed it to him with a smile.
The enamel pot was full of warm food, including a crucian carp, fried tofu, stir-fried pork intestines and pork head with chili peppers, and a braised chicken leg.
Chen Wang took the enamel pot and started to eat heartily. He said to the little girl, "There are two pairs of couplets here. The one on the left is ours, and you can give the one on the right to Brother Dazhuang."
"good!"
The little girl nodded in agreement, took the couplet on the right and ran out.
Lin Xiuqin poured him a cup of warm water and placed it next to him, then sat down on the bed and continued knitting.
Chen Wang sat down on a stool next to the brazier and ate his meal while telling her about what happened on the street today.
Including the incident with the naughty kid who was sitting on the ground crying and making a scene, and how he had screwed other people over.
He spoke intermittently, as if he was performing a one-man show, but Lin Xiuqin was not in a hurry. She listened slowly with a smile on her face, without stopping knitting.
If this scene were seen by an outsider who was not aware of the situation, it might seem very awkward.
However, both of them have long been accustomed to this way of getting along. Not only do they not find it strange, but they feel very comfortable and at ease.
After delivering the Spring Festival couplets, the little girl came back skipping and jumping with a handful of lard residue.
"Brother Dazhuang's family is frying lard?"
Chen Wang asked in surprise.
"Yes, uncle gave me a lot, look!"
The little girl patted her bulging pockets, which were filled with the oil residue she had just tied up.
"Brother, here you go!"
"I just ate. I'll just eat one."
Chen Wang only took one piece, put it in his mouth and bit it, it was crunchy.
"Sister-in-law, you eat too."
The little girl took another piece and fed it to Lin Xiuqin.
Lin Xiuqin opened her mouth and ate it with a smile.
After eating a few pieces, Lin Xiuqin waved her hand to indicate that she didn't want to eat anymore.
Now that my family has enough food to eat, this thing doesn’t taste as good as it did three months ago.
The little girl sat down next to Chen Wang, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and asked, "Brother, what time is it?"
"It's not even two o'clock yet, what are you doing?"
"What time will it get dark?"
"It has to be six at least!"
"Ah, why does time go by so slowly? It will get dark soon!"
