The person inside then opened the door a crack, looked around, and said cautiously, "Come in quickly."
As soon as He Chuan and the others entered, he immediately closed the door.
"What's the matter?" There was an ordinary middle-aged man in the room. He was wearing a black cotton coat and had a full beard. I guess no one would recognize him if he shaved his beard.
"Xu Huzi, it's me, Xiao Jiang. I was introduced by Lao Li. Didn't you forget that I got a bicycle from you before?" Jiang Dashi walked up to him with a familiar look on his face, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.
"Oh, it's you. I remember now." Xu Da Huzi had an expression of sudden enlightenment. In fact, he came into contact with so many people every day that he would never think of Jiang Dashi. As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Seeing that Jiang Dashi could explain his origins clearly, he felt relieved and gave him some face.
"What's wrong? What do you want to get this time?" Xu Da Huzi looked up and asked while smoking a cigarette.
"What good stuff do you have here now?" Jiang Dashi rubbed his hands and smiled.
"Wait." The man turned and walked into a room, took out a few things and placed them on the wooden table.
The first thing He Chuan saw was the Shanghai brand steel watch. It had a steel dial and a leather strap. It was a good watch. And it was easy to carry. He had to bring more of it this time.
Then I looked over and saw Butterfly brand sewing machines. Wow, I could bring a few of these.
He Chuan pointed at a triangular boat-shaped object and asked, "What is this?"
The middle-aged man glanced at He Chuan with a half-smile and said, "If you were a woman, you would definitely know this. It's an electric iron. Any clothes or shirts will be smooth and neat after being ironed with it."
He Chuan recognized the remaining items, but there was one he hesitated to buy: a Seagull camera. It was a rare item, and because it was so rare, it was expensive. There were few channels to ship it, and each camera cost 400 yuan. There were very few cameras available now, and even fewer people could afford it. He was worried about buying it and getting a bad deal.
I asked about the prices of the items. A watch cost 120 yuan, a bicycle cost 170 yuan, a sewing machine cost 160 yuan, and an electric iron cost 130 yuan.
He Chuan had about 1,500 yuan on him: his own savings over the years, plus the money Su Tao had earned from setting up shop in the past six months, plus his own personal savings, which he gave to He Chuan after learning he was going into business. Jiang Dashi also brought 1,200 yuan, bringing the two of them together to 2,700 yuan. Ultimately, they decided to forgo the camera for the time being; the risk was too great.
"We want 10 Shanghai brand watches, 5 bicycles, 3 sewing machines, and 1 electric iron." He Chuan said in one breath.
Xu Da Huzi looked at the two men with some surprise. He hadn't expected them to be such a big customer. During their conversation, Da Huzi had learned that Jiang Dashi had only bought three cars last time, and this time, the two of them had expected more. He hadn't expected them to buy more than three thousand yuan worth of cars at once.
"Can you take all this away?" Xu Da Huzi looked at the two men with suspicion and asked. Watches were easy to deal with, but bicycles and sewing machines were big items.
"The bicycles don't need to be assembled. The parts are packed in bulk and placed in a wooden box together with the sewing machine and electric iron. We will take the watches with us now. As for the other large items, please help us transport them to Dalukou at 5 o'clock every morning. We will pick them up and pay you later." He Chuan replied.
"Okay." The bearded man agreed immediately. He looked up and glanced at He Chuan in surprise. He looked quite old despite his young age.
Xu Huzi knew they had a truck the moment they spoke, and knew the meeting was at 5 a.m., when it was still gray and dark, so it wouldn't attract attention. It would be safer to just pick up the goods and leave than to start a nighttime truck.
