Return To 1998

After eating the noodles, Xu Tongdao went to deliver another bowl to Zheng Qing. When he came out of Zheng Qing's room, it rained heavily all morning, and it gradually stopped.

Seeing the rain stopped, Xu Tonglin asked, The rain has stopped, Xiaodao, should we go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables first?

Tongdao Xu walked to the door, looked at the sky outside, and saw that the clouds in the sky were still a little thick, and he was not sure when it would rain.

Let's find a second-hand refrigerator first! If we can find a suitable second-hand refrigerator, then we can buy groceries with confidence every day in the future! Let's go!

Xu Tonglin: Oh, okay! You have the final say.

...

Buying a refrigerator If you want to buy a new one, it's easy. Just walk into a store that sells refrigerators and pick one.

But buying a suitable used refrigerator is a lot harder and requires a bit of luck.

Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin rode old tricycles and searched for shops with second-hand electrical appliances along the street. The main goal was to repair those shops.

Based on Xu Tongdao's understanding of the industry, he felt that most of the electrical repair shops would like to have cheaper rents, and chose the shops in some slightly remote and less prosperous places.

And this county, such a place... In fact, the streets along the river are the most suitable for this condition.

So, he and Xu Tonglin were the first to look for them along the riverside.

It didn't take long for them to find a family.

Unfortunately, although there is an old refrigerator in this electrical repair shop, it is a bit old. Xu Tongdao didn't like it, so he and Xu Tonglin came out of the store, ready to continue looking for the next one.

As a result, when I returned to the old tricycle, I saw an old lady guarding the car, and there were a few waste paper boxes and a few beer bottles at the old lady's feet.

Seeing them coming, the old lady grinned and asked, You guys, do you accept junk? I have some cardboard boxes and wine bottles here. What price do you charge?

Xu Tongdao: ...

Xu Tonglin: ...

Brothers, you look at me, I look at you, you can't laugh or cry.

This was taken as a rubbish.

Eighty percent of it was the wrong message they sent to the old lady from the old tricycle.

After explaining it to the old lady, the two continued on their way.

Xu Tonglin sat in the carriage, Xu Tongdao rode a bicycle, and after a while, Xu Tonglin suddenly said: Xiaodao, we've come out anyway, why don't we just collect some junk? Maybe we can make some money! What do you think? ?

Tongdao Xu turned his head speechlessly, ...

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Tongdao asked back, If someday someone mistakenly thinks that we are murderers, will we kill someone too?

Xu Tonglin was stunned, hehe laughed, and then his voice grew louder and louder.

Xu Tongdao pouted, too lazy to say any more.

...

On the road along the river, there are indeed several electrical repair shops. After Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin found three more, when Xu Tongdao successfully found the second repair shop, he suddenly felt no rush to buy it.

He decided to shop around, look at the old refrigerators in a few repair shops, and then choose the one with the best appearance and the most cost-effective to buy.

A new refrigerator, he didn't plan to buy it.

The higher price is the biggest reason, followed by the fact that he is only setting up a street stall now. Even if he buys a refrigerator, it should usually be placed in a rental room.

Customers can't see it, so why buy a new one?

A second-hand refrigerator is completely ready to use.

A new refrigerator, if you buy it back and use it for a period of time, won't it also become old?

Moreover, if you buy a second-hand refrigerator at an electrical repair shop, you can also get a period of warranty service.

This way, you don't have to worry about buying a second-hand one, it will be broken and unusable after a long time.

Of course, in the final analysis, the main thing is that he doesn't have much money now, and when he spends less money,

Naturally, you need to be careful.

When I came out of the fourth electrical repair shop, it was more than two hours later.

Tongdao Xu still came out of the store empty-handed, but he had already decided in his heart to go back to the old display case in the third store he had seen before.

He remembered that when the proprietress of the shop introduced them to them, she said that the old display cabinet was collected from a closed Mala Tang shop.

Of course, that's not the point!

The point is that Xu Tongdao feels that the display cabinet is more suitable for them to sell barbecue.

Because the fresh-keeping area on the upper layer of the display cabinet can store unsold vegetarian dishes that day, and the freezing area on the lower layer can store meat dishes such as mutton and chicken wings.

In general, it is more practical than pure refrigerators and freezers.

And the display cabinet, the lady boss's asking price is not expensive, only 500 yuan.

He didn't know how much a brand-new display case would cost in 1998, but he remembered that in the 2000s, a new display case would sell for three or four thousand.

Although the display cabinet with an asking price of 500 is only about 50% new, there is no damage. As long as the fresh-keeping area and the freezing area can work normally, it can play the same role as a brand-new display cabinet.

Xiaodao, which one have you decided to buy?

From the fourth repair shop, Xu Tonglin saw that Xu Tongdao turned the tricycle and rode back, so he guessed that Xu Tongdao had already decided which one to buy.

Well, just the display cabinet from that house just now...

Before Tongdao could finish his words, the glass door of a small hotel on the side of the road suddenly banged, as if it had been smashed hard by something, which startled both Tongdao and Tonglin Xu, who were completely unprepared, but they still didn't respond. When I came over, a glass door shattered into countless pieces and fell to the ground.

Pedestrians on the road and many people in nearby shops were startled, and the cowardly screamed.

Xu Tongdao subconsciously stopped the tricycle and turned his head to look at the small hotel just like Xu Tonglin. He just saw a shirtless man wearing only a pair of jeans but with bare feet holding his head in his hands, in a panic. From the door of the hotel, he rushed out.

When he rushed out, his feet stepped on the broken glass, making a rattling sound. Tongdao Xu could see his scalp was numb, but the man kept screaming, holding his head, desperately trying. Rush out the door.

Hey, man! Is this a movie? So fierce?

In the carriage, Xu Tonglin laughed out loud, tsk tsk admiration.

Of course he knew that no one could make a movie in this small county, but this scene was really like a scene in a movie, and it was enjoyable to watch.

Tongdao Xu also thought it was very interesting. I went out to buy an old refrigerator today, and I can still see such a good show. It's not a loss! interesting!

but……

The next moment, he was stunned.

Looking at the other man who rushed out immediately behind the man just now... Cousin Ge Liangcai rushed out with a face full of anger, holding half a red brick in his right hand...

what's the situation? what happened? What is my cousin?

Xu Tongdao couldn't react for a while.

But it didn't prevent him from seeing his cousin Ge Liang just rushed out of the door, and smashed the half of the red brick in his hand at the man running in front of him, and roared: Damn it! Dare to play with Laozi's woman, Laozi will kill you. !!”

Half a red brick crossed a non-standard parabola from the air, and with a bang, it hit the red heart in the center, and smashed heavily on the man's vest in front of him, causing the man to stumble forward, and with a thud, he simply dropped a dog. Eat mud.

Xu Tongdao's heart sank when he saw it, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
