Everything else was fine, but his freezer was bought five or six years ago and was too bulky, so not many people wanted it.
"See if you're interested in this freezer."
"Is there anything wrong with the machine?" Xu An was somewhat tempted upon hearing this.
"It's just that it's been a while since I bought it, but otherwise there's no problem at all." Bald Chen thumped his chest loudly. "It's just in the market next door, do you want to go check it out?"
"Okay." Xu An nodded.
Bald Chen entrusted the shop to the neighboring shopkeeper and led Xu An and his group of four toward the vegetable market. As they walked, he introduced Xu An to his old friend.
His old friend has a son and a daughter who settled down in the city a few years ago. He has suggested to his friend several times that he quit his job and move to the city to live with him.
But he couldn't bear to leave the other shopkeepers nearby. Business was good, and he was still able to work, so he's been doing it ever since.
However, after the Chinese New Year this year, my previously good health started to deteriorate, with minor illnesses occurring frequently, requiring me to visit the hospital every now and then.
In addition, his son had another baby this year, and the couple were too busy to take care of the baby, so they wanted him to come and help.
He happened to be thinking about closing the store himself, so they hit it off immediately and decided to close the store and start dealing with the inventory and equipment.
As we were talking, we arrived at a dried goods store in the market.
The shop wasn't very big. A thin, gray-haired old man was tidying up the goods on the shelves with his back to the door, and there were also many packed packages piled on the ground.
"Old He, I brought a kid over. He's interested in your old freezer."
After greeting Bald Chen, the old man looked at Xu An and his group and gently patted the slightly yellowed freezer placed at the door: "This is the freezer. I bought it five or six years ago and it has never had any problems. It works very well, but it is not as stylish as the new freezers that are available now."
Xu An circled the freezer, paying particular attention to the engine's sound, but found nothing wrong. The freezer was very well maintained; there weren't even many scratches or dents.
After some mental calculation, I realized that a new 728-liter double-door freezer would cost at least two thousand yuan in a store. Although this one is five or six years old, it's in pretty good condition, and the price of around three hundred yuan is acceptable to me.
"Mr. He, how much are you planning to pay for this freezer?"
"You were brought by Bald Chen, so it's two hundred. You can come and move out the day after tomorrow." Old He's price was very reasonable, and it was clear that he really wanted to make a quick sale.
The price of two hundred yuan was not only within Xu An's expectations, but also one hundred yuan less than he had anticipated, leaving little room for negotiation.
He immediately took out his money, counted out two hundred yuan, and handed it to Lao He.
Old He took the money and wrote a receipt for Xu An. He told Xu An that he could come back the day after tomorrow with the receipt and move the freezer.
The transaction is complete.
