Chapter 19 Recycling Trash
"No.15 ticket, what's wrong?" Xue Yu was a little puzzled.

Su Chen said: "Then I'm not in a hurry to buy it today, I'll go to the department store to have a look in two days."

"That's the only way." Xue Yu had no choice but to go to the department store tomorrow.

But soon, she took a fancy to a Shanghai watch. After looking at the price, it cost thirty per person, so she bought it directly.

Then he explained: "I bought it and gave it to my dad."

"Look at my brain, I should have left an extra piece for you to take back." Su Chen patted his head.

Xue Yu smiled and said, "It's a good thing you didn't stay. If I bring it back to my dad, I still don't know how to explain it."

Also.

Su Chen took a fancy to several pieces of expensive hardwood furniture, the grand master's chair and a table, and they are all mahogany. For him now, the price is only three melons and two dates.

It's a pity that it was too big to move, so he had to tell the salesperson to let the helper stay and wait for him to go back and find a car.

Also pay a deposit of two dollars.

For the sake of the deposit, the salesman promised to keep it for him until the afternoon.

Su Chen looked at Xue Yu: "Mr. Xue, do you see this?"

"Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll run with you." Xue Yu asked curiously, "Where are you going to find a car?"

"I saw a tricycle in the uncle's room next door a few days ago, so I just borrowed it for a while." Su Chen was determined to move these pieces of furniture back to the courtyard.

After returning to the house, Xue Yu stayed to help look after the house. Su Chen found the old man next door and rented his car for a week for a dollar.

The uncle is happy to lend him the car.

I went back to Dongdan on a tricycle, loaded those pieces of furniture on the car, and dumped some pieces along the way, including an inkstone, a pen holder, and a jade plaque.

The whole is a gourd-shaped tablet decoration, with a bas-relief carved vine branch gourd on the body, and a little monkey climbing on it. One side of the jade tablet is lightly engraved with the seal script "children and grandchildren for thousands of generations", and the other side is "five generations of prosperity".

Look at the signature again, good guy, it's Zhiting again.

The jade piece from the Qianlong period was priced at 15 yuan and I bought it.

There were nearly ten pieces of old furniture scattered here and there, which looked like they were from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and none of them were damaged. There were also seven or eight small items, which made Su Chen very happy.

As soon as he got on the tricycle, a man wearing a big felt hat sneaked over and gritted his teeth: "Brother, people pay attention to new things now, why do you buy all these old antiques?"

The man spoke with a southern accent, not quite like a local.

Su Chen asked, "Why? The world is so big, why is someone not allowed to miss these old antiques?"

"Of course." The big felt hat smiled: "But you have to keep pace with the times, I think you are not very old, buddy. If you don't have some new things on your body, you won't be able to keep up with the fashion."

Su Chen laughed directly: "What new gadgets are you talking about? If there are any, I might consider buying them."

The big felt hat looked left and right: "There are too many people in this place, why don't we go over there."

"Row."

Su Chen was not afraid that this guy would plot against him, so he stepped on the tricycle and followed the big felt hat to a slightly remote place.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, the big felt hat pulled up the sleeves.

Hey, good guy, this man wears almost ten digital watches on his right hand.

"How about it? Look, they are all new styles. They are from Hong Kong. The time is displayed digitally. It's so beautiful and the color is correct." The big felt hat put his hand in front of Su Chen's eyes so that he could see it clearly.

This is really something from Hong Kong, but it is not as good as his last batch of Casio. The quality is really bad, the style is also ordinary, and it has a strong cottage style. It will be troublesome to replace the battery.

But now some of these losers make a lot of money by relying on this kind of thing.

"How much?" he asked.

"One hundred." The big felt hat didn't even bat an eyelid.

Su Chen suddenly felt a pain in his liver. Uncle, last time I sold my Casio for [-], some people thought it was too expensive. Now this guy is selling this cheap thing, and he dares to ask for a price of [-].

"You can pull it down, just this style, all the costs add up to less than ten yuan a piece, and you dare to ask for a price of one hundred." Su Chen was a little regretful, knowing that he had sold it for two hundred before.

The big felt hat became anxious: "Dude, this is an authentic Hong Kong product, it is waterproof, and it is not expensive at all if you sell it for a hundred. Besides, if you go to the department store, you have to ask for a coupon, right?"

"You came in from the south?" Su Chen himself had one, but he didn't wear it.

The big felt hat nodded: "That's not true. There are acquaintances over there, but they have been on the train for several days and nights, so one can only earn a little money. Dude, what do you think? One hundred one, Good looking and not expensive."

"No." Su Chen was not interested at all: "And you are speculating now, if I send you to the bureau for tea, you won't earn a penny, believe it or not?"

"Don't, don't, our business can't be benevolent." The big felt hat suddenly panicked: "If you don't want it, forget it."

"No, let's go." Su Chen waved his hand.

This big felt hat is definitely not something that I went to the south to buy. It is very likely that I helped someone bulk it in the capital.

But Su Chen was not interested in knowing about it, because he had no one, so if he got a lot of things and put them in his hands, it would be a lot of fun.

In fact, there are businesses everywhere in Sijiu City, but the most profitable business is still in the hands of the people in the compound.

This kind of business is tickets, all kinds of tickets, such as food tickets, cloth tickets, bicycle tickets, watch tickets and so on.

So, in a few years, the police will pull carloads of people to shoot them.

Su Chen didn't dare to mess with him, he wanted to make money and save his life.

He left here on a tricycle, staggered into alleys, and yelled loudly:
"Collect the rags, recycle all kinds of broken copper and iron, all kinds of old furniture, old and young, I will recycle all the old things that are no longer needed at home."

Hearing the yelling, the old and young men who were chatting outside the alley instantly became refreshed.

"Young man, do you really collect all kinds of old furniture and old objects?"

"Come on, if you have any, you can sell them to me. If you go to the trust store, you may not be able to receive the money right away, right?"

Su Chen stopped the tricycle: "But here, as long as I like it, as long as the price is right, I will give cash immediately. You don't have to go to the trust store, just deliver the goods and get the money."

Hearing this, everyone was boiling: "I have two chairs at home, do you want them?"

"I also have a few old bottles at home. If you want them, I'll go over and get them now."

"Young man, I have a set of tables and chairs at home, do you want it?"

"If you want, you all bring it to me to have a look. If there is no problem, I will." Su Chen replied.

After getting the answer, these people immediately ran back home.

After a while, all kinds of things were brought out, including tables and chairs, various bottles and jars, screens, jade pieces and the like.

Well, now there are really treasures everywhere.

Su Chen began to count, and after confirming that they were all good, he paid for them one by one. The most expensive one was the 200% off screen, and the owner asked for [-] yuan.

You can buy a screen in the middle of the Qing Dynasty for 200 yuan, which is unthinkable for later generations.

Su Chen directly bargained for the price: "Your asking price of 200 yuan is outrageous, what else can you do with it besides occupying the space?

It can't be eaten as a meal, and even if you cut the fire, you can't cook a meal. Do you think this is the reason? 80 yuan, do you want to sell it?It doesn't matter if you don't sell it. "

"How much can you add more?"

"Only eighty, sir, how much is your salary now? It's only thirty yuan. I've paid eighty for almost three months' salary. At this price, if you don't sell it, forget it. I'll pay you back." It has to be valued by someone else.”

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the people next to him said: "Old Zhangtou, eighty is really a lot, you can't use it in the house, why do you keep it?"

Old Zhang gritted his teeth: "Okay, it's sold!"

It cost eighty to sell the four-fold screen, and the old Zhang head went back happily with the money.

Su Chen continued to evaluate the remaining people.

In this alley, he spent almost 500 yuan to buy a lot of things, and the prices were extremely low.

And these people also helped to move these things to the tricycle.

When riding a tricycle back to the courtyard at the east gate, Xue Yu was stunned to see so many old furniture.
