Lu Xia shook her head and smiled at him, saying, "No, I'm very satisfied. You guys have done a better job of decorating it and basically didn't damage the original building."
Yan Hai was relieved. After hearing her praise, he patted his chest and said, "Of course, I have many old friends and craftsmen there. They will definitely not be destroyed."
Yan Hai was very happy. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing their satisfactory evaluation. When he heard Jiang Junmo said that he wanted to dig out the pond in the backyard, he agreed immediately and did not ask for any compensation.
In his words, the compensation they had given him before was already quite a lot, so this could be considered as a favor.
Jiang Junmo didn't insist after hearing this.
Later, Yan Hai heard that Lu Xia and his friend were planning to buy furniture, so he offered to help.
Lu Xia was puzzled. What help could buying furniture provide?
Seeing her like this, Yan Hai smiled and asked, "What kind of furniture do you want to buy?"
Lu Xiazhi said: "Two beds, a desk, a sofa, a coffee table, etc."
“That’s a lot!”
...
...
Yan Hai thought for a moment and said, "You're buying so much. If you go to a department store, you won't be able to buy anything good. Good furniture is in foreign trade stores. They're all imported from abroad, and the beds there are softer than the ones we have in China."
Lu Xia's heart moved after hearing this, so was he talking about the imported elastic mattress?
Lu Xia was a little tempted, but his thoughts were immediately dispelled when he heard the next sentence.
"It's just that things there are too expensive, and you have to use foreign exchange bills to buy them."
Lu Xia gave up instantly when she heard this. Not to mention that she didn't have foreign exchange bills, even if she did, the things there didn't sound cheap.
Forget it, it’s such a waste.
However, Jiang Junmo, who was standing by, saw her excitement and thought for a moment before saying, "If you like it, let's go and have a look. I'll take care of the foreign exchange bills."
Lu Xia shook his head. "No, there's no need. Imported goods are expensive now. Let's buy them later when they're cheaper."
Jiang Junmo wanted to say something, but seeing Lu Xia's determination, he thought about it and decided to listen to her.
Yan Hai, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Don't worry, you two. In fact, besides the foreign trade store, there is another place where you can buy it, and it's very cheap."
Lu Xia was surprised, "Where?"
“It’s the Trust Store!”
"Trust store?" Lu Xia was puzzled. Why did this word sound so familiar?
Jiang Junmo, who was standing by, understood a little after hearing this. "Are you talking about the second-hand market? The one near Liulichang?"
"Yes, yes, that's it. You know it too?"
After hearing this, Lu Xia also looked at him.
Jiang Junmo nodded, "I've heard of it."
Then he frowned and said, "The things there are second-hand, used by others. Why don't we buy new ones?"
Lu Xia was a little hesitant after hearing this. She didn't want to sleep in someone else's old bed.
Then Yan Hai said, "It's not just all old stuff there. There are also some old items. I heard a few days ago that there was a set of rosewood furniture there, but it was taken away by someone for a high price. But it's still a good deal."
"Really?" Lu Xia became interested after hearing this.
Their small courtyard is a siheyuan, and it would be nice to display some old items in it, so I wanted to go and take a look immediately.
After hearing this, Jiang Junmo had no choice but to agree.
Yan Hai didn't leave either. He had acquaintances there and offered to go with them. He also promised to help them pick the best ones and even help bargain.
After hearing this, Lu Xia and the others expressed their gratitude.
So without further ado, they took a bus to Liulichang.
