1980s: He was picked up and brought home as a son-in-law

At first, he was a little unsure of the standards of this era. He didn't want to wait in there for a few days just to sell some goods. As a result, he saw many people selling their own agricultural and sideline products near the supply and marketing cooperative.

But they didn't display them openly. They spoke in a soft voice and were ready to run away at any time.

The reason why they all came to the supply and marketing cooperative was mainly because there was the largest flow of people here. If you want to buy some scarce things, you have to queue up in advance.

Zhou Feng found a corner with a sack in one hand and a rabbit in the other hand. Soon someone came to ask the price.

Meat is still very easy to sell in this era. Everyone is hungry. Rabbits and pheasants are rare. Zhou Feng sells them very cheaply.

Normally, pork in the supply and marketing cooperative costs 70 cents per pound, and Zhou Feng also sells wild animals for 70 cents per pound, plus a pound of meat tickets.

Normally, he can sell more, but Zhou Feng doesn't want to waste too much time here. What's more, his wild animals have bones, while other people's pork is pure meat. No matter how wild it tastes, he won't admit it if it's expensive!

He stayed for less than an hour and sold all the wild animals he brought this time.

A total of 23 yuan was collected, plus ten grain coupons, ten catties of meat coupons, one catty of sugar coupons, five packs of cigarette coupons, and one catty of liquor coupons.

Zhou Feng was very satisfied. This was as much as an ordinary worker's monthly salary, but wild animals were not permanent.

He carefully put a pile of bills and notes in his pocket. In Zhou Feng's view, all kinds of bills were more important than money. Without these bills, he could not spend any money.

Zhou Feng went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy five boxes of Daqianmen cigarettes, which cost him one yuan and nine yuan. He didn't want to buy so many, but the coupon said five boxes, so buying one box would be a big loss. A box of Daqianmen cigarettes cost three cents and eight cents, but the grade was very high.

Zhou Feng found a tailor shop with cigarettes in his pocket, took out the rabbit skin, carefully explained his needs, gave one yuan and said he would come to pick it up in the afternoon. The tailor happily agreed.

Zhou Feng asked and looked all the way, and finally saw the gate of the scrap collection station. At that time, the scrap collection station was still very impressive.

There was a big sign hanging at the door, which read"Waste and Used Materials Comprehensive Utilization Store". This was different from the junk collection places on the streets in the future. Now it was a formal state-owned unit. When

Zhou Feng opened the door, he saw an old man drinking tea and watching TV. He couldn't help but secretly gasp. At this time, there was a TV set. It was really amazing.

Sensing someone coming in, the old man raised his eyebrows.

"What do you do?"

Zhou Feng showed a sunny smile,"Uncle Li, my sister is in school, I came to see if you can buy some books for them."

Before coming, I found out that the old man's surname was Li, and handed him a pack of Daqianmen.

Looking at the Daqianmen in his hand, the old man's face softened a lot. Many people came to him to take advantage of him, but Zhou Feng was the first one to buy Daqianmen.

"Go and have a look for yourself, but I can't give you a discount, books are 20 cents per pound, not a penny less."

Zhou Feng thought it was a bit expensive at first, and he asked around at the supply and marketing cooperative. A new book with 400 pages only costs one dollar. How could an old book be sold so expensive?

But after he finished reading it, he didn't think it was expensive anymore. He found that this collection station didn't have any waste at all, but treasures!

There were a lot of old books, which should have been brought in during the sweep of the four olds. The price of these old guys in the future would be simply inestimable.

It's a pity that I don't have much money now, and these things won't appreciate in value in a short time. They're not for eating or drinking, so I can only put them aside for now.

Zhou Feng found exercise books for various subjects that were published in the past two years, and took six picture books. When he weighed them, he found that they were exactly ten pounds. The two dollars were gone, and only eighteen yuan and ten cents were left.

Seeing Zhou Feng pay, Old Man Li confirmed that this guy was really here to buy book.

Zhou Feng said he wanted to take another look, and Old Man Li followed him and continued to watch TV and drink tea.

Zhou Feng searched in the warehouse by himself and soon found good stuff. Four scrapped TVs were piled in the corner. The shells had been disassembled, and one of the monitors was broken. It should be judged that there was no value in repairing.

At this time, the TVs that were willing to be thrown away were either because there was a problem with the cathode ray tube or the motherboard. Zhou Feng was very confident that he could assemble a good one.

He turned around and was about to ask how to sell the broken TV, but he saw Old Man Li patting the top of the TV with his hands. After patting it five or six times, the TV had a signal and sat back to continue watching.

Zhou Feng's eyes lit up. Why didn't he think of this? This is much easier than assembling a TV!

"Uncle Li, how do you sell those broken TVs?"

Old Li looked at Zhou Feng in surprise.

"What do you want that for? Planning on building a good one?"

"Don't blame me for not telling you, there are many people who have the same idea as you, they all take it from me for two dollars and sell it back for one dollar."

Zhou Feng was a little speechless, no wonder these broken TVs were dismantled, it turned out there was such a layer

"Uncle Li, how about this? I can help you solve your TV signal problem. How about you do me a favor?"

Old Li suddenly became alert and looked at Zhou Feng with some suspicion.

"Oh, don't worry. If I want this broken TV, I will buy it with my own money. I definitely won't ask you for it for free. I know it's public property, so I can't make things difficult for you!"

Zhou Feng quickly added

"I'll do it for you first. If it doesn't work, we won't say anything. We'll talk after it's done."

After that, Zhou Feng borrowed a screwdriver and pliers from Old Li.

He also found aluminum tubes, copper tubes, copper wires, plugs and other odds and ends from the scrap pile.

Old Li saw the boy sitting on the ground tinkering with it, and in less than half an hour he made two diamond-shaped strange things.

Before Old Li could stop him, Zhou Feng picked up one and plugged it behind the TV.

Old Li was surprised to find that the TV, which had been crackling, became clear immediately.

Zhou Feng changed a few channels casually, and each channel was extremely clear, and he found many more channels than before.

Old Li hurried to see the thing Zhou Feng had tinkered with, touched it curiously, and tried to change the channel himself. It was indeed very clear, which was amazing!

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Feng smiled.

"Uncle Li, you have a lot of friends, please introduce me to someone. If I can get one, I'll give you two dollars. Not only can I make antennas, I can also repair TVs."

"You? Can you repair TVs?"

Old Li was really surprised. How long has the TV been out? It takes a lot of people to be able to repair TVs.

Zhou Feng saw Old Li's suspicion and walked towards the pile of broken TVs without explaining. Under Old Li's doubtful eyes, Zhou Feng quickly disassembled a bunch of parts.

In order to save money, he didn't even take the shell. Finally, he weighed the pile of junk and found four pounds.

One pound is two yuan, so he took out eight yuan and gave it to Old Li.

Then, in front of Old Li, Zhou Feng used copper wire, electric heating wire, clips, and tape to assemble a soldering iron in a few minutes.

He picked up the TV's circuit board and found a few problem points. He asked Old Li for tin wire and rosin, and it was fixed in a few seconds.

Finally, after the assembly was completed, he plugged it into the socket and gently pressed the power button.
