Hard times have room

Chapter 803 Goodbye to the people in the black market
"Come on in, I'm here to tidy up, the things that the old man got just now have to be put back."

Among the heads of several scrap yards in Jiangning County, old man Qin is considered to be the more diligent kind.

He has been in this industry for more than 20 years. He works diligently every day and is used to it. He doesn't feel tired.

Besides, his job is much easier than going to work to earn work points. If there is no waste station, he would have gone back to his hometown to get a hoe. How could he be where he is today? He is very grateful and content.

What's more, there is a big family behind him. He works harder, and it is good to earn an extra penny or two every day. If he accumulates a little, he can always buy more rice for the family.

"Okay, you're always busy." Pauline was very clear about the old man's attributes, and he couldn't be idle.

Otherwise, such a dilapidated waste station would not be cleaned up so neatly. Books are books, iron is iron, and copper is copper. They are all piled up separately, and there will be no mess. This is not easy. The waste station There are quite a lot of things inside, he is an old man, it is not bad that he can do this step.

Pauline went straight into the house. As long as there is room for things to pile up, the open space outside will not be used. Now the open space outside is still empty, which means that things are piled inside the house.

As soon as I entered the room, the light dimmed instantly. Even though the main room door was wide open and the windows were fully open, there was nothing I could do.

Pauline directly took out a bulky power bank from the space, and used it as a flashlight when she turned over copper things later.

When turning the pages of the book, Pauline doesn’t use a flashlight. Over the years, she has used up the power of two charging treasures one after another. She has to save the remaining three, unless she can afford it herself. The flashlight is off.

The things in her space may be non-renewable resources within 30 to [-] years, so she usually doesn't use them if she can.

Pauline picked and picked among the pile of books for more than half an hour, and finally picked out five books that she was quite satisfied with. Three of them were older ancient books that were read vertically. The title of the book was "Linxi", which seemed to be an introduction to humanities. For geography, the upper, middle and lower volumes are considered a set.

The other two are medical books about medicinal herbs. To be precise, they are medical books with pictures and words on them, which are not bad. Pauline welcomes these practical books, although she may use them for the rest of her life. not on.

These five books were carefully selected by her, basically not too damaged, and the kind that does not affect reading, which is very rare.

She now chooses books that are more Buddhist, and she will take all the books that are close to her eyes. Anyway, it doesn’t cost much, and she will save it in the space. She can’t tell when she will be interested, so she just reads it!

I also can't tell what precious books I took, out-of-print ones, when the time comes, I will take off directly. Of course, I can only think about it now, it can be regarded as self-consolation!

After choosing the book, Pauline turned to another pile of things, which was copper. As long as they were made of copper, they were piled in the corner next to the door. It was a small pile, which looked inconspicuous, but it was included in the whole house. , that pile should be the most valuable.

In the past, copper could be made into copper coins. It was used as currency. Even now that banknotes are issued, the position of copper has not fallen. Many industrial manufacturing things require copper as raw materials or parts. It is practical. Still strong, the value of copper has not been discounted.

Although the light in the corner by the door was much brighter than the pile of books beside her, Pauline still took out the power bank silently, because she could always find some delicate things in the pile of copper, and some things needed to be turned on. You can only find out carefully, such as the copper rings, bracelets, and wind chimes in her space now, they still look very beautiful.

Many things made of copper are already considered handicrafts. Anyway, she looks very beautiful, especially some with patina. In her opinion, this is a sense of age. She will definitely buy it, no matter whether it is or not. Really old things, just look at its copper rust, I think it is worth it.

When the days are peaceful in the future, I can find someone to look at these little things she collected, maybe there are some "genuine goods" there!

Well, let's talk about what we will do then!Lazy to think, there is still a long time!
I picked up all the copper products there with a charging treasure, and finally picked out only one. It was a copper furnace, but the lid was missing.

In addition, the copper stove looked deformed, maybe it was broken by that fierce man, anyway, it looked very uncoordinated, and it looked different from other serious copper stoves.

Originally, Pauline wanted to give up, but she turned on the lamp to see that the patterns on the furnace wall were very complicated, and she might not be a work of art. In the end, she still took it.

As for the lid, she searched really hard, but she couldn't find it. Perhaps the former owner of the copper stove also sold it because it lost a lid, which was incomplete and useless.

For these things, old man Qin gave a friendly price of four cents, mainly because the copper stove is expensive. Although the stove is not big, it is copper after all. It cost him two cents when he collected it, plus eight cents for the books. , he doesn't earn much, it's really a friendship price.

After bidding farewell to Old Man Qin, Pauline walked out of the scrap yard. It was still early, and she planned to walk back while strolling casually, aimlessly. This is another kind of leisure, right?

She only walked for five or six minutes, and suddenly, at the exit of an alley, she saw a familiar person, Chen Jun, who used to collect things in the black market, but after the black market moved away, she never saw him again Yes, seeing this time was purely accidental.

Looking at him like that, he came out of the alley. She still has some impression of that alley, which extends in all directions. When she was bored, she even counted how many entrances and exits there were in that brick house, a total of six!

If the new address of the black market was chosen there, she wouldn't be surprised at all, it's really such a good place to run around.

Because the time was not urgent, Pauline deliberately walked in, but she didn't stop at a certain place, because she was afraid that others would find out.

After turning around, she still left without gaining anything. She has no intention of staying here today. Besides, she is using her original appearance today, and she doesn't want to attract others' attention.

After coming out of the alley, I continued to walk towards the station. When I passed the public toilet next to the department store, I went in to use the toilet. Afterwards, I went back to school, found a remote place to sit, and ate my lunch.

It was already an hour later when she arrived at the station.

The car was still parked in a familiar place, and there were some young students sitting sparsely in the car, as well as a few people I knew. Of course, this knowledge was limited to being able to meet at school. As for names or other things, they were all the same. I don't know, since I don't know him well, I naturally won't say hello.
