Chapter 730 - 0730 Fubao Full Month 2_1
Lu’s father had become a regular at the old market recently, he was very generous, spending quite a lot, and thus was quite popular. He used the excuse of needing to furnish his home due to a recent move to the Capital to buy second-hand goods, like jewelry and toys for his grandchildren, not to mention the dishes and bowls, which naturally didn’t need justifying.
Why visit the old market? Because he didn’t have the tickets to shop at department stores- this was an easy assumption to make.
A decent piece of furniture in a department store could easily cost tens to hundreds of yuan.
"Comrade Lu, you should come see what I have, don’t worry about the dishes and bowls, I’ve taken them out for sale."
"Bring Xibao to see mine, doesn’t matter if they’re wood carvings or calabashes, they are all old crafts. You won’t regret buying any of these, kids love playing with these things, look at how delicate this pellet drum is!"
Xibao stopped when he heard someone call his name, he saw the pellet drum the person brought out, "For little sister!"
He meant to buy one for his sister, Lu’s father agreed, "Okay, okay, let’s buy one for your sister."
This pellet drum was not the one Xibao played with, it was simply made of boxwood, but it was very well made and only cost fifty cents.
After a round of shopping, they bought a few more pieces of porcelain. Lu’s father carried them in his net bag, looking like he really had come to buy dishes.
The young man who sold the chairs to them suddenly whispered to him sneakily, "Sir, I have quite a number of calligraphy and paintings passed down from my ancestors, do you want them? One yuan for each, all for you."
