Chapter 86 Trust Store
A few days of peace passed. Ever since Sha Zhu tipped off Xu Damao, Xu Damao started saying bad things about Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu in the factory again. However, it seemed to have no effect. Neither party responded, and gradually no one paid attention to what Xu Damao said.

At the weekend, Li Shengli and Yan Bugui made an appointment to go to the trust store together.

Li Shengli rode his bike with Yan Bugui on the road, panting.

"Tell me the truth, Uncle Third, you asked me to come to the trust store because I have a bicycle." Li Shengli joked with Yan Bugui while pedaling his bicycle.

"That's the reason, right?" Yan Bugui did not deny it. You could say he was stingy, but he admitted everything he had done.

"Good guy, you are really good at scheming." Li Shengli had to admire Yan Bugui, his scheming was everywhere.

"By the way, Shengli, do you have your household registration book with you? Our family won't sell it to you without it." Yan Bugui asked, recalling his experience of visiting a trust store.

"I brought it with me, of course I had to bring it with me. I also brought money. If I came across something I wanted to buy, I would just buy it." Li Shengli did not forget all this. The supervision is very strict these days, and besides, these are all state-owned enterprises, so they won't sell anything to you if you don't have ID.

While the two were talking, Li Shengli drove Yan Bugui to a trust store near Dongdan.

"Uncle, we're here." When they arrived at the destination, Li Shengli put his right foot on the pedal, put his left foot on the ground, squeezed the brake with his hand, and stopped the car in a cool manner.

Yan Bugui got off the bicycle reluctantly, as he hadn't ridden enough.

"Hey, sir, you're here again." Li Shengli had just parked his car, locked his bicycle with a lock, and was walking towards the trust store when the salesperson working in the trust store spoke first.

"Hey, Uncle, it seems you are a frequent visitor here." Li Shengli was not surprised. Yan Bugui had come here many times. Considering his stingy personality, he must have troubled others frequently.

"I'm here to see the bicycles." Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses frame calmly without any embarrassment.

"You're here to look at bicycles again. You came at an unlucky time. The most recent one was just sold. Bicycles like this that don't require a ticket are in high demand." It can be seen that the young man in this trust store is also a kind-hearted person.

Li Shengli entered the Trust Store. The store was filled with a wide variety of items, mostly household items, such as old clothes, fur coats, quilts, watches, pocket watches, cameras, phonographs, clocks, etc. There were also some furniture in the back.

In short, they are all daily necessities that people don't use at home, and they are used to exchange for some money to supplement their household expenses.

"Comrade, what would you like to order?" the salesperson asked Li Shengli again.

"Do you have a watch here?" Li Shengli asked as he was looking around.

"Yes, there are many watches. Which one do you want, domestic or foreign?" The salesperson knew that this was a big business opportunity.

"What brands do you have? Take them out and let us see them." Li Shengli was not polite either.

"Sure, Shengli, you need to buy a watch now." Yan Bugui said in a sour tone.

"Well, Uncle Third, if you want to buy it you can buy it. Just imagine that you are a teacher, and you wear a watch on your wrist. When you are teaching, your hand is exposed inadvertently. Wow." Li Shengli described the scene to Yan Bugui.

Although Yan Bugui was also very moved by the scene, the money he had was used to buy a bicycle, which was much more practical than a watch.

At this time, the salesperson also took out several watches from the counter. There were several types of domestic watches, such as Shanghai brand, Liaoning brand, BJ brand, etc., and foreign watches included Omega, Rolex, Roman, Titoni, and Enicar.

“Wow, you have quite a lot of this kind.” Li Shengli was also a little surprised. He didn’t expect that there were really Rolex and Omega. These days, the import of these foreign goods is restricted. I don’t know which prodigal son took these out to sell.

"How much is this Rolex?" Lee Seung-ri picked up the Rolex. Lee Seung-ri didn't know much about watches, but he had heard of the reputation of Rolex and Omega. Moreover, if he wanted to buy this Rolex, he would need an import ticket and the price was very expensive, more than 500 yuan. Lee Seung-ri was also shocked when he heard the price. It was indeed a Rolex, which was extremely expensive from beginning to end. Lee Seung-ri took a look and found that the watch had a diameter of 40mm and a crown guard and a serrated bezel. The hands were the iconic Mercedes-Benz logo, which looked very modern, but it was severely damaged and had scratches all over the surface.

"This Rolex is not expensive. Someone consigned it here. It only costs one hundred."

"One hundred? It's so expensive." This was said by Yan Bugui who was listening on the side.

"One hundred, so cheap?" This is Li Shengli.

After Yan Bugui said the word "expensive", when he heard Li Shengli say "cheap", he looked at him as if he was a lunatic.

"Don't look at me like that, Uncle. I've asked about Rolex watches, and in the store, a brand new one not only requires an imported watch ticket, but also costs more than 500 yuan." Li Shengli couldn't stand Yan Bugui's crazy look anymore, so he explained out loud.

"Yes, this watch is imported and very expensive." The salesman interjected.

"Then why is it so cheap? This watch must be broken." Li Shengli said confidently, pointing at the watch.

"Yes, according to the seller, this watch has been dropped and it stopped working after the drop, so it's being sold so cheaply now." The salesman nodded.

Li Shengli understood. If the watch wasn't broken, how could it be sold at such a low price?

"What about this Omega watch?" Li Shengli asked, pointing to another watch.

"This watch is expensive. It's 90% new and in perfect condition. The seller wants three hundred dollars for it." The salesman said with a smile.

Yan Bugui, who was standing next to him, took a deep breath after hearing this. This was too expensive and he couldn't bear to part with it.

"The price is right, what a pity." Li Shengli sighed lightly. He had saved money for so long and spent a large part of it on buying a bicycle before. Now that he bought a watch, almost all the money except the money in the bank was gone.

"By the way, how about the domestic one, how much is the one from Shanghai?" Li Shengli was talking about the Shanghai A-581, the watch body is made of silver stainless steel, the dial is white, and the scales and logo are all gold-plated.

"This model was produced three years ago. It's not that expensive now, only forty yuan." The salesperson picked up the Shanghai watch and wound it, and the watch started moving immediately.

Li Shengli took a look at it. The silver watch body and black genuine cowhide strap looked very stylish.

"Okay, I'll take both." Li Shengli knew that the price was fixed and there was no way to bargain. "By the way, how much is that chess set over there?"

Li Shengli pointed at the chess set he had just seen and asked, the wood of this chess set seemed to be Huanghuali, wouldn't it be very face-saving for him to go out and play chess with others in the future?

"Well, the wood is better, two dollars." The salesman said casually. Not many people have asked about this thing since it was put there, and the chess piece is made of wood that cannot be changed in any way.

"Count them all together." Li Shengli suddenly felt like a Liangshan hero buying things.

"Shengli, why did you buy two watches? And you also spent two dollars on a chess set?" Yan Bugui's voice was trembling.

"Well, Uncle, think about it, when I play chess with others, which one does it feel better to hold in my hand, these two dollars or a few cents? Maybe I can win a few more games." Li Shengli said, pretending to be indifferent but actually feeling quite painful.
