Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

After seeing Master Lei off, Zhou Tian turned around and looked around the room, then nodded with satisfaction. However, when he saw that the room was empty, he frowned again.

"How about taking today off and buying the furniture as well?"

He left as soon as he said he would, turned around, locked the door, and went to the Trust Store in Dongdan Market. It was too late to buy new furniture now, so the best option was to buy some second-hand furniture.

And most importantly, he remembered that many of the bargains in later fan fiction started from trust stores.

What Zhou Tian didn't know was that when he left the courtyard, a group of women in the courtyard, who had already known that the renovation of Zhou Tian's house was completed today, came out of their homes one after another.

They climbed up the glass of his house and looked into the house. When they saw the renovated state of Zhou Tian's house through the bright glass, a group of women started talking about it.

"Oh my god, is this the palace that Master Zhou built? Why is the house so beautifully renovated?"

"Yes! I've never seen a house transformed like this. How much did Master Zhou spend?"

"Shh, you don't know, but I heard that Master Zhou spent this much money to renovate the house!"

One of the women said this, holding up three fingers.

"Three hundred thousand?"

A woman asked in a tentative tone.

"Three hundred thousand? You think too much, it's three million!"

Unexpectedly, the woman looked at the woman who had just spoken as if she had never seen the world, and said loudly.

"Three million? Oh my God! How can it be so much? With this three million, how much corn flour can I buy? I think it can last me for three years!"

Hearing what the women said, many of them shouted.

"Humph, you don't know! But for Master Zhou, three million is actually nothing. He can earn it back in half a year at most!"

The woman heard this and said with some envy.

"Yes! Who made Master Zhou a master chef at such a young age? Unlike our boss, he is still a junior worker now!"

Only then did they remember that Zhou Tian was already a master chef in the factory and started discussing his salary. Immediately, a group of women started to criticize their own men!

Of course, Zhou Tian didn't know about this, but even if he knew, he would just laugh it off. After all, since he decided not to pretend to be poor anymore, he had decided not to care about what these people said.

Even if his plans would be thwarted because of this, he didn't want his younger brothers and sisters to suffer any more injustice.

But Zhou Tian took the bus and came to the trust store.

Perhaps because it was working hours, there were not many people in the trust store at the moment. It seemed that there were only a dozen people inside who were constantly looking at the things they needed.

At the counter, an old man in his fifties was dozing off, looking as if he had not yet woken up.

As soon as Zhou Tian walked into the trust store, a salesperson came up to him with a smile.

"Comrade, what do you need to buy?"

Hearing this, Zhou Tian asked the salesperson, "I want to buy some old furniture. Do you have any?"

"Furniture, of course. Don't worry, as long as it is what you want, our trust store will definitely have it! Please go!"

The salesperson said, turning around and walking inside. Zhou Tian was curiously looking at the place in front of him where the protagonist of the legendary article found a bargain.

As we walked along, we found that the things here were much more complete than those in ordinary stores. There were pots and pans, antique calligraphy and paintings, and three-wheeled toys. There was everything you could think of. There were even a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the counter.

Although Zhou Tian was not well versed in the so-called calligraphy and paintings and antiques, he knew that in this era, the things here should not be fake.

"Comrade, this is where we store our furniture!"

The salesperson took Zhou Tianchuan through an aisle to the westernmost room of the trust store and pointed to the furniture inside.

"so much?"

Zhou Tian looked in the direction of the salesperson and saw a room of approximately 500 square meters filled with a variety of furniture, many of which were as well made as furniture of later generations.

In particular, there are several sets of furniture specially placed aside. The styles are even more exquisite, and the carvings on them are so magnificent that people can't help but be fascinated.

Zhou Tian walked over and touched one of the exquisitely designed official hat chairs. His eyes lit up and he looked at the salesperson and asked.

"Comrade, how much is this official hat chair?"

The salesperson glanced at it casually.

"Half a million!"

"So expensive?"

Zhou Tian was shocked by what the salesperson said. You know, a chair now costs at most three thousand yuan, and this price is enough for him to buy a bed.

"Comrade, this chair is an official hat chair made of huanghuali wood. Huanghuali wood was the favorite of dignitaries in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Huanghuali wood is also a precious wood. So if you add these two points together, five hundred thousand is not expensive!"

The salesperson explained it in detail.

“Huanghuali?”

Hearing this, Zhou Tian looked at the official hat chair in his hand. He knew it was made of huanghuali, but he didn't expect that this huanghuali chair would be so expensive in 1951. Of course, compared with his memories of his previous life, this price was indeed not expensive, but the problem was that it was 1951 now.

Thinking about it, he loosened his hand and pointed to another large double bed and asked.

"And the bed?"

"three million!"

The salesperson explained before Zhou Tian could ask, "That bed is a double bed made of small-leaf red sandalwood. Rumor has it that an old eunuch stole it from the palace. It later changed hands several times and was consigned to an old man for sale here two years ago!"

After hearing what the salesperson said, Zhou Tian immediately shifted his gaze away from the double bed.

"It's too expensive, I can't afford it!"

Next, Zhou Tian asked about some furniture that he valued, but every piece was either made of precious wood or had various historical allusions, which made Zhou Tian depressed.

He didn't expect that his taste was so good. The furniture he liked all had such a history. For a moment, he didn't know how to choose.

However, he could only try his best to put aside his beauty pageant and look at the ordinary furniture on the other side.

Fortunately, the furniture here is not expensive. In the end, Zhou Tian spent nearly 1.5 million to equip his home with all kinds of furniture. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It not only includes three wardrobes, a cupboard, a round table, four bookshelves, five chairs, three beds, but also a mahogany dressing table.

Among them, the most expensive one was the dressing table, which cost him a total of 300,000 yuan.

After all the furniture was ready, Zhou Tian called two servants from outside and had them pull a cart towards the courtyard.

After returning to the courtyard, Zhou Tian felt that everything around him seemed strange. Some women who were supposed to be sitting in the front yard chatting looked at him.

However, Zhou Tian didn't care about it, so he spent 5,000 yuan to hire two porters to carry the furniture in with him.

He didn't let the two of them leave until all the furniture had been purchased and put away.

"Master Zhou, has your house been renovated?"

After sending the two children away, Zhou Tian was just about to go back to the house to wash up when the Li family's daughter-in-law in the front yard suddenly asked.

"Yes! Aunt Li!"

Zhou Tian said politely.

"Master Zhou, your home renovation is really beautiful. I wonder if we can go to your house to take a look!"

At this time, the daughter-in-law of the Qian family in the middle courtyard also asked, with a hint of desire in her eyes.

"this......"

Zhou Tian hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Okay!"

"That's great!"

Having said that, the group of women stopped chatting, stood up and followed Zhou Tian towards the backyard.

When they arrived at the backyard, they entered Zhou Tian's house and looked at the house that was already filled with furniture. They couldn't help but express admiration, and many of them also had envy in their eyes.

Although they also took a few glances through the glass when Zhou Tian left before, to be honest, they couldn't see clearly because of the glass blocking their view.

Only until they actually walked into the house did they realize once again that they had a narrow vision. In their imagination, this was not a house they could live in. It was simply the residence of the dignitaries in the past.

However, although they are envious, they also know that their boss does not have the same salary as Zhou Tian.

The design of the attic, in particular, made a group of women whose homes were too small for their families to accommodate more people have a hint of interest in their eyes.

"Master Zhou, did you really spend three million to renovate this house?"

One of the women asked in disbelief.

"Yes! Aunt Hua!"

Zhou Tian did not hide it. After all, the house had been renovated and the furniture had been purchased. All of this was done under everyone's noses, so it was impossible to hide it.

"That's great! It would be great if our house could be remodeled like this, so that our children can live there!"

A woman murmured to herself.

After hearing what the woman said, several women who were already tempted became even more excited.

"Okay, now that you've finished your tour, let's go. I still have to clean up, so I won't keep you here!"

After the group of women had looked everything over, Zhou Tian began to send them away. After all, it was getting late, and he had not forgotten that he still had to go to Aunt Wang to get a quilt and some custom-made clothes.

He should have taken it back a long time ago, but the house was being renovated at the time, and even if he took it back, there was nowhere to put it, so he asked Aunt Wang to help look after it for a few days.

Now that he has time, he naturally wants to get it back!

Hearing that Zhou Tian started to drive people away, the group of women wanted to take a look, but they did not dare to offend Zhou Tian, ​​so they left one after another.
