Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

As soon as Dahua screamed, the old man immediately realized something was wrong. He rushed to cover Dahua's mouth, but was bitten by Dahua on the hand, causing blood to flow.

Old Man Tang endured the pain and then blocked Dahua's mouth again.

He cursed in a low voice, and spanked Dahua several times, watching her fat body twitching, and then crawled out of the cellar with a curse.

There were actually not many people in the alley during the day, but there was someone who had just moved in across the door, so Old Man Tang felt that it was still necessary to take a look.

He touched the door and looked out through the crack in the door. He saw the old man and lady opposite the door still sitting at the door, but the old man stopped picking beans and picked leeks instead... While picking leeks, he picked his feet.

"The food is quite good." Old Man Tang muttered dissatisfiedly.

When he was young, his family was also very wealthy, and no one except Old Man Tang could live like this.

At this time, Mrs. Tang came back, "Master, I bought you some wine."

"It's just wine, why don't you even have some peanuts? Is our family already so poor?" Old Man Tang was filled with anger, and he stretched out his hand to hit Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang was touched and then she realized that Mr. Tang's hand was bleeding. "Master, what's wrong with your hand?"

"Don't mention it. She was bitten by a fool. I gave her a good beating. She is not allowed to eat tonight. I have to starve her for a few times before she can obey."

"Oh, how could you hit that child? That child is very pitiful. She is a fool. What can I tell you?" Mrs. Tang's face was full of sorrow.

"You know nothing." Old Man Tang said, leaning on the bottle of wine and taking a swig.

He quickly became confused due to the drunkenness. He directly spread out a mat in the courtyard and fell asleep while snoring.

As soon as he fell asleep, he dreamed that Dahua finally relented and told him that the rare treasure left by Mrs. Qin was hidden in a broken kiln at the entrance of the village.

Following the clues given by Dahua, Old Man Tang successfully found the treasure and made a fortune.

There was everything in the dream, but it was better to dream. Old Tang turned over and slept more soundly.

Mrs. Tang sighed. Dahua was beaten three times in two days. She was afraid that Dahua wouldn't be able to bear it. What a pitiful child.

Mrs. Tang looked at the cellar entrance and finally made up her mind.

Unlike Old Man Tang, she has a bottom line, that is, she cannot commit evil.

Old Man Tang is not a good-tempered person, and now that Dahua has bitten his hand, he will definitely retaliate. If Dahua continues to stay at home, it will be dangerous...

After separating from her fourth uncle, her fourth aunt got on the tricycle and Yuanni sat in the back. The two of them walked through the streets and officially started collecting rags.

"Nier, the capital is too big, we need to have a direction, right?"

"Grandma and grandpa are watching in the alley. Let's go west today."

"Row."

Founder has the advantage of being square. The two of them walked westward, looking around as they walked, and soon came out of the alley.

Seeing a family home on the side of the road, Yuan Ni put her hands to her mouth and shouted, "The rags have been exchanged for eggs, newspapers, toothpaste rinds, copper and iron are collected..."

Several old ladies immediately gathered around, "Exchange the rags for eggs? How do you do this?"

My aunt had already inquired about the prices. She explained the regulations skillfully, and then said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if the scrap is not enough for a pound, you can exchange it for a lump sum."

The old ladies were all happy, "Okay, it's so affordable. If someone picks up rags from the sky, you are the most affordable. Come into the courtyard with us, so you can get things closer."

Collecting rags and bartering, not speculation, the fourth aunt agreed with a smile, pedaled on three wheels, and followed the old ladies into the yard.

As soon as the old ladies entered the yard, they immediately ran home to pick up the scraps.

Yuan Nier wiped her sweat and said, "Why don't they help call someone? Can I call out again?"

The fourth aunt smiled and said, "Let them change first. They are afraid that there are not enough eggs. When they finish changing, they will help us call someone."

Yuanni suddenly realized that her fourth aunt was older and had a more accurate grasp of human nature.

The old ladies were very fast and soon came out with toothpaste-covered newspapers and miscellaneous items.

"This pile of toothpaste casings and newspapers belongs to me. Let me buy them first."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we have enough eggs to replace them."

A few old ladies didn't have anything interesting in their hands, so they even took out iron nails to replace them.

Considering that they were the first batch of customers today, the fourth aunt was not embarrassed and offered an extremely generous price.

The old ladies took the eggs with satisfaction and started calling people from each house.

During the day, there are only old people and children in the family courtyard, and these people are also the most fond of picking up rags.

At first, customers came one by one, but later they had to queue up.

Everyone is very active and not afraid of the sun at all. Some people run to the front to look at the bamboo basket from time to time and ask, "Are there enough eggs?"

"Enough is enough."

Seeing that there was only the last person left, Yuan Nier frowned as she looked at the things this person brought over, "This is a wooden window lattice, don't take away the wood."

Old-fashioned windows are made of wood and then covered with paper.

But what year is it now?Even the poorest people have glass windows, so why do they still have such things?

"This is good wood. It will be wasted if I start a fire and chop wood. Take a look at it first. It is really a good thing." The person who came over with the window lattice was a middle-aged man in his 40s.

Logically speaking, people of this age should go to work, but for some reason, he didn't go to work.

The window lattice was mottled and rotten, the paint on it had fallen off, and it was covered with scraps of paper.

Several old ladies nearby laughed at the middle-aged man, "Master Tao, this thing should be thrown directly into the garbage dump."

"Aunt Zhao, to tell you the truth, this is really good wood."

"No matter how good the wood is, if it is carved into window lattice, it will not be useful."

Yuan Ni reached out and touched the wooden window lattice, and her fingertips suddenly felt hot. She realized something was wrong, turned over and continued to touch, and found that it was not the wooden window lattice that made her fingertips feel, but the paper on the wooden window lattice.

The paper is yellow and old, stacked one on top of another, covered with paste, and the font seems to be Xiaozhuan.

Yuan Nier thought slightly, this is an ancient book. This teacher Tao can use ancient books to paste window lattice. Do you still have some that have not been torn down at home?

"Master, this window lattice is really useless. Did you go to the buying station and ask? Our things have to be sold to the buying station. The buying station does not want wood, and we have no place to sell it.

Do you have anything else at home?If you have newspapers, old books, etc., you can sell them together. "Yuan Nier smiled helplessly.

The old ladies around all laughed. They were all smart people, and they also heard the underlying meaning of Yuan Nier's words.

The wooden window lattice was of no use. If Master Tao could bring out other valuable items, the rag collector would be willing to help him throw away the window lattice.

Being laughed at by a group of aunts, Master Tao blushed a little, "Originally, there was a bag of waste paper, but my mother insisted on taking it to the countryside, saying she wanted to use it to start a fire..."

At this moment, Yuanni had already seen the word "Yongle" on the paper, and heard Master Tao's words, which suddenly reminded her of a past event, which was one of the five lost cultural relics, the Yongle Ceremony...
