Chapter 1208 Five
Yuan At noon, after Xiao Chengjin and others came back, Su Ruanruan told Xiao Chengjin about the meal.
"The kitchen is in the back, and it's actually quite troublesome to bring the food to the front after it's cooked, especially now that it's cold and the ground is slippery. It's even more troublesome to go back and forth. It just so happens that the two rooms in the backyard are empty, so why not put a dining table in there and eat there from now on."
Xiao Chengjin nodded when he heard this. "That's fine. There just happens to be a room with a kang. If it's heated up, the room will be warm, and the children can sit on the kang."
Since the two of them had discussed it, Xiao Chengjin did not rush home after get off work in the afternoon, but went to the scrap yard.
It was hard to find a large round table, but there were quite a few long tables and chairs in the scrap yard. We brought back two and put them together, and the whole family sat down.
After such a long time, Xiao Chengjin thought that the old gatekeeper had long forgotten him, but he didn't expect that the old gatekeeper recognized him as soon as they met.
"It's you again! What are you doing here?"
Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows slightly, but his tone did not change. "My house is missing two tables, so I came to take a look! I wonder if there are any here!"
The old man at the door smiled and said, "Yes! I have all the furniture and tables here! Come in and take a look!"
The gatekeeper opened the door and let Xiao Chengjin into the yard.
Xiao Chengjin had a clear purpose this time, so he didn't wander around and followed the old gatekeeper directly to where the table was.
Xiao Chengjin took a look around and picked out two long tables and four benches.
The color is not eye-catching and there is no special pattern. Even if someone saw him taking it back, they would not think there was anything wrong.
Seeing Xiao Chengjin had chosen the items, the old man at the gate smiled even brighter, "Great! Great taste! These are all good woods! I guarantee you'll be able to use them for decades without breaking. And since this isn't your first time here, I'll give you a cheaper price. How about you round it up to ten dollars?"
Xiao Chengjin's expression remained unchanged. "Five dollars."
"How can there be such a person as you!"
The old man at the gate grumbled at first, then quickly said, "You can't cut it in half! How about this, nine dollars! I'll give you a dollar off! One dollar is not a small amount!"
"Five dollars!"
"Eight dollars! Is eight dollars okay? It can't be any less! Look at how many things you picked! Look at this table and this chair. They are so solid and feel so good!"
"Five dollars!"
The old man at the gate looked upset. "Five dollars is really not enough. Give me more. Seven dollars!"
This time, Xiao Chengjin simply didn't say anything and just stared at the old man guarding the gate.
Just watching, the old man felt guilty. He gritted his teeth and said, "Six dollars! This is the minimum!"
Xiao Chengjin turned around and left, "Then I'd better go back to our industrial ticket!"
"Hey! Don't go! Okay, okay, five dollars will do!"
The old man at the gate had a painful look on his face. He said, "I didn't see you bargaining like this last time I came. Are you embarrassed to do it in front of your wife? You are a grown man, but you still bargain when buying something. Don't you think it's shameful? "Okay, okay, I'm just being kind. You can carry it away! My old arms and legs can't lift it."
He said this because he actually wanted Xiao Chengjin to take a step back and maybe even raise the price a little.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Chengjin nodded straightforwardly.
