Chapter 117 A sudden love rival buys a watch

Originally, Chen Hui was planning to call Chen Yaozu.

Since he took the initiative to ask, I couldn't miss it. I immediately asked, "Of course, Uncle Yaozu, would you please do me a favor? Come and have dinner with us."

"You guys?" Chen Yaozu looked at him and An Wenjing.

"There are also a few uncles from Dasa Village, who you met last time." Chen Hui said.

"I see. We've made a lot of money from selling fish. It would be unreasonable if we didn't bleed a little, right?"

"I'm going to the city tomorrow. Let's have lunch the day after tomorrow. I'll reserve a small private room for you." Chen Yaozu said with a smile.

"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow."

The meal has been settled.

Chen Hui took An Wenjing and followed the route guided by Chen Yaozu to find the purchasing station.

Chen Hui felt that the street of the purchasing station was somewhat familiar. He looked around and immediately smiled.

"Brother Chen Hui, what are you laughing at?" An Wenjing was puzzled.

"See that intersection ahead? There are a lot of people there. That's the state-owned second-hand store."

"The route Uncle Yaozu taught us is a roundabout one. If he had just told us to turn right at the second-hand store, it would have been closer to take the main road."

Chen Hui pointed forward and said.

"Wow, there are usually so many people at the second-hand store?"

An Wenjing looked at the people coming and going at the intersection, and many of them went straight into the shops after crossing the street.

"Now that life is better, people have some spare money, but not much, so going to second-hand shops is the best option."

Chen Hui explained.

He locked the bicycle, took An Wenjing by the hand, and brought the fur into the purchasing station.

Under the guidance of the staff, we found He Qin who was conducting secondary processing of the purchased furs.

I heard that he was introduced by Chen Yaozu.

He Qin carefully looked at the fur brought by Chen Hui and called another colleague to do the evaluation together.

Finally, he smiled and asked, "Comrade, we can offer you 30 yuan for this fur. Will you sell it?"

"Thirty yuan?!"

It was several more than Chen Yaozu had expected. An Wenjing pulled Chen Hui's sleeve in surprise.

"Okay, thank you." Chen Hui nodded in approval.

He Qin smiled politely at the two of them, took out the list and wrote a purchase order.

He tore off one of the pages and gave it to Chen Hui:
"Take this slip and go to the first office to collect the money."

"There's a specific fur purchase list posted over in the office. You can take a look at it. You can bring any fur items on the purchase list to me."

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Hui took the order and walked out with An Wenjing.

Passing the toilet, An Wenjing stopped and said, "Brother Chen Hui, I'm going to the toilet. You go first."

"Okay, the first office. I'll wait for you at the door after I finish my work." Chen Hui nodded.

I took the receipt and went to collect the money.

Standing by the wall, looking at the fur purchase order they posted on the wall.

Small hairy skin:
Sable skin, chinchilla skin, mink skin, otter skin, sea dragon skin, snow marten skin, weasel skin, tiger skin, gray squirrel skin, silver mouse skin, muskrat skin, beaver skin, musk deer skin, etc.

Large hairy leather:
Fox skin, raccoon skin, lynx skin, badger skin, raccoon skin, red wolf (jackal) skin, etc.

Rough fur:

Sheepskin, dog skin, wolf skin, leopard skin, marmot skin, etc.

Miscellaneous furs:

Including cat skin, rabbit skin, etc.

"Comrade, are you still collecting rabbit skins?" Chen Hui asked in surprise.

After all, among this huge collection of things, rabbit skin is the only common one.

“We collect them. Many people don’t even know about the purchasing station, so we have people go into the village to collect them regularly.”

"But the price of rabbit skins is not high. A basket of rabbit skins is not as valuable as your red wolf skin."

The staff member was a young lady in her twenties. She stopped what she was doing, looked up and answered Chen Hui's question with a smile on her face.

"Is that so?" Chen Hui nodded.

He glanced outside the door and saw that An Wenjing hadn't come yet, so he went back to look at the list.

"Comrade Chen Hui, do you have a photographic memory?" asked the staff member.

"Ah?!" Chen Hui was confused.

"Here, write your own name." The staff member picked up the payment registration form and pointed at Chen Hui's signature.

Chen Hui smiled and said, "It's because I don't have a photographic memory, so I want to watch it twice more."

“A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and reading it several times is not as useful as writing it down once.”

"Just copy it down."

The staff member said as he took out a piece of white paper and a pen and placed them on the table opposite him.

Signaled to Chen Hui that he could sit down and copy.

"Okay, thank you."

Copying it down is indeed much more effective than relying on your brain alone.

Chen Hui didn't hesitate and sat down to start copying against the wall.

"Your handwriting is very beautiful. It is exactly in line with the saying that the handwriting reflects the person."

The staff member sat with his chin propped up, looking at the words and then at Chen Hui, with a pink, girlish smile on his face.

Chen Hui smiled perfunctorily and quickened his movements.

"Brother Chen Hui, I'm back!"

"Eh? What are you writing?" An Wenjing came over after using the toilet.

Seeing Chen Hui sitting and writing something, I came over curiously to take a look.

"This is..." The staff member looked at An Wenjing and the smile on his face disappeared.

"This is my love, I have copied it, thank you."

Chen Hui put away the written paper and handed the pen back to her.

"You're welcome."

The smile on the staff member's face fell, he took the pen and casually put it into the pen holder beside him.

He put the registration form aside and continued with his previous work.

"Huh?" An Wenjing was confused. After being led out of the purchasing station by Chen Hui, she asked in confusion: "Brother Chen Hui, did I say something wrong just now?"

"You only said one sentence, how could you be wrong?" Chen Hui said.

"Then why did she suddenly become unhappy? She was clearly smiling and looked happy when I came in?" An Wenjing was puzzled.

Second hand shop not far away.

The possibility of being stolen is much lower if you park your car in front of a state-owned purchasing station than in front of a second-hand store.

Chen Hui did not unlock the car and took An Wenjing to the intersection.

As she walked, she explained, "She's attracted to your man, so your mere existence is wrong, whether you say anything or not."

"Oh, then she has a good eye. It's a pity that she is late." An Wenjing grinned.

He pulled his hand out of Chen Hui's, put his arm around him and walked forward.

The second-hand shop is bustling with people.

The wall of cabinets behind the counter is filled with things of all sizes.

On the other side are bicycles, and even large items like refrigerators, televisions and sewing machines.

As soon as An Wenjing walked in, she felt that her eyes were not enough and everything she saw was new and interesting.

Chen Hui went to a counter and looked at all the seven or eight watches on display.

Pointing to the newest one, he shouted to the busy staff: "Comrade, I want to see this, how much is it?"

"This one? This one is a bit expensive."

"It was just put on consignment here yesterday. The buyer only bought it two months ago. It has been well protected. It is almost like new."
