Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

"I feel relieved when you say that. I just need your help."

"He said, why are you so polite? Just tell me if you have anything to ask." Auntie No. 3 immediately became attentive.

"I'm planning to raise a dog. I'm planning to make a small nest for the dog. Look at these tools..."

Lin Shaowen reached into his pocket with his right hand, and when he took it out, it was a handful of colorful fruit candies.

Swish!

After a shadow flashed by, the candies in his hand disappeared immediately.

Then a figure ran out of the door, leaving only a sentence.

"Lin Shaowen, I'll help you."

Lin Shaowen and Auntie No. 3 looked at each other.

"Auntie No. 3..."

"You are so good, Yu Li. You even dare to steal my business? You are rebelling, you are rebelling."

After Auntie No. 3 cursed, she also chased after him.

Lin Shaowen walked slowly towards the timber market. Buying a dog or something was just a bluff, but buying some timber was real.

After all, he couldn't have conjured up the wood for building the doghouse out of thin air.

Timber market in Beijing.

Lin Shaowen, who came here for the first time, was really impressed. The timber market covers a huge area and sells a wide variety of things. It doesn't just sell timber here, but everything related to wood, including wood carvings, wooden doors, and wooden furniture.

Lin Shaowen was strolling around when someone suddenly patted him from behind.

"Brother Lin."

"Hey, Brother Lei."

Lin Shaowen looked at Lei Dali with some surprise.

His house has been there for two or three years, and it doesn't leak, not even mold.

Lei Dali's craftsmanship is really good.

"What are you doing here, brother?"

Lei Dali took out a cigarette and was about to give it to Lin Shaowen, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt embarrassed.

He had been taking jobs at the street office for a long time, so he could naturally hear about Lin Shaowen.

As a senior cadre at the department level, his Dadao brand cigarettes, which cost eight cents a box, were a bit embarrassing.

Lin Shaowen didn't care at all. He lit it after taking it. After taking a deep breath, he looked relaxed. This big knife is really powerful.

"I'm on vacation now. I plan to raise a dog and find some wood to build a doghouse."

"Brother, this wood market is very complicated." Lei Dali said with a smile, "If you trust me, how about I take you around?"

"That's great." Lin Shaowen was overjoyed and whispered, "Brother, can we still get the wood from last time?"

"Why do you need such good wood to build a doghouse?" Lei Dali said in surprise.

"Isn't there a pergola at home?" Lin Shaowen sighed, "No one can stay in this pergola when it rains... If I can get some good wood, I might as well build a pavilion."

"Your yard is spacious." Lei Dali touched his chin and thought, "There is really no golden nanmu now, but there are some Hainan Huanghuali... But it's a bit of a waste to use it to build a pavilion."

"Do you have red sandalwood?" Lin Shaowen whispered.

"Hiss, brother, don't make trouble." Lei Dali said with a toothache, "If you use this red sandalwood to build a pavilion, you will be beaten to death."

The control is not strict now, but red sandalwood has been a precious wood since ancient times.

"That's right." Lin Shaowen laughed.

Lei Dali pondered for a while, then whispered, "There are a batch of Huanghuali, but the price is relatively high..."

"Come on, money is not a problem." Lin Shaowen said, hugging his shoulders.

"No, it's quite expensive..."

"What's it worth? Let's go and see it first."

Lin Shaowen hugged him and left.

Lei Dali had no choice but to take him around and walked into a small shop.

"Old Lei, what do you want?"

The shop owner was a man in his forties. He had a cynical smile on his face and looked at Lin Shaowen with a smile.

"This is my boss. He wants your batch of Huanghuali." After Lei Dali finished speaking, he introduced to Lin Shaowen, "He is Chen Fashu... He has been in the timber business for generations. After old man Chen passed away, the shop was given to him."

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Lin Shaowen."

Lin Shaowen smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Lin Shaowen?"

Chen Fashu looked at him for a while, then smiled at Lei Dali, "Did he take away my batch of golden nanmu last time?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." Lei Dali said with a straight face.

"Tsk."

After Chen Fashu snorted, he took Lin Shaowen to the backyard.

Lin Shaowen then realized that behind these shops facing the street were warehouses, and they were all very large warehouses. There were not only peeled wood in the warehouse, but also a lot of raw wood. I don't know where these people got them from.

"Here are sixty squares of yellow flowers, the price is six hundred... no bargaining." Chen Fashu looked up and saw Lin Shaowen about to take out a cigarette, and immediately shouted, "Boss, smoking is not allowed here.""Sorry."

Lin Shaowen immediately put the cigarette back and cursed himself for being stupid.

If this timber warehouse does not prohibit open flames, it will be fun.

"Can you please tell me that I will deliver the goods to your door?" Chen Fashu said with a smile.

"Okay."

Lin Shaowen took out a stack of money from his pocket, counted out six hundred, and handed it to him.

"Boss, you have guts."

Chen Fashu praised him and immediately handed him a brush and ink.

"What do you mean?" Lin Shaowen said in a daze.

"This is for you to mark the timber. You can sign your name or draw a pattern. You are afraid that someone will replace it." Lei Dali explained.

Lin Shaowen signed his name without hesitation.

The three were about to go out when they saw a little girl running in and shouting, "Dad, I'm back."

"What are you yelling about? Go find your mother." Chen Fashu laughed and scolded.

"I'm looking for..." The little girl was about to say something, but when she saw Lin Shaowen, she shouted, "Brother Xu?"

"Brother Xu?"

Chen Fashu and Lei Dali looked at Lin Shaowen strangely.

"My last name is Lin, not Xu. Did you recognize the wrong person?" Lin Shaowen asked tentatively.

"Don't you remember me?" The little girl stepped forward and pointed at herself, "More than a month ago, I was rowing in Houhai and fell into the water... It was you who saved me."

"It was you." Lin Shaowen was a little embarrassed.

"So it was you, Doctor Xu... Bah, Doctor Lin." Chen Fashu excitedly shook Lin Shaowen's hand and said anxiously, "We went to Houhai to look for you several times, but your uncle said you went back to work, and you refused to tell us where you work."

After hearing that his daughter fell into the water, his legs went weak.

He was 30 years old when he got this only child. If she had any problems, he would not want to live.

"Wait, my uncle?" Lin Shaowen was stunned.

"It's the old man you were with last time." The little girl whispered.

"Damn it, he actually took advantage of me." Lin Shaowen gritted his teeth.

At this time.

Chen Fashu took out six hundred yuan and stuffed it into Lin Shaowen's hand, "Doctor Lin, I'm a rough man... I can't talk, you take this money, the wood is my gift to you."

"Don't worry." Lin Shaowen immediately returned the money, "Let's be honest, don't try this, repaying a favor... What kind of person am I?"

"Doctor Lin, what's the value of some wood? If you like it... I can give you some more." Chen Fashu said gratefully.

"Don't... If that's the case, then I'll go to another store."

Lin Shaowen refused sternly.

Although he is not a good person, he still has some bottom line.
