Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness

Chapter 24 There's something fishy about this table

The old man took two candies, peeled one and put it in his mouth and said, "You guys should go in quickly. It's getting late. By the time you finish choosing, it may be late." After saying this, the old man went back to the duty room.

The yard of the scrap yard is very large, with some broken tables, chairs, benches, and cardboard boxes tied together with ropes piled outside.

At the end of the yard was a huge house that smelled musty.

When I walked in, I saw all kinds of waste mixed together, it looked dirty and messy.

Wei Yuchen endured the physical discomfort, went in and looked around, and found that this was indeed a waste recycling station.

Apart from some old books and newspapers that could be used to pass the time, the rest were complete rubbish and nothing valuable was found.

"I can help you find what you want!" Geng Changshuo saw Wei Yuchen rummaging through the garbage pile and wanted to help her.

The room was not small. If Wei Yuchen searched alone, he might not be able to finish searching until dark.

"Well, books, readable books, newspapers are fine too. If there are student textbooks, that would be fine too."

"Okay! Got it."

Geng Changshuo agreed and started to dig. The two of them moved on the left and right at a pretty fast pace.

Geng Changshuo was very concerned about Wei Yuchen and would look up at her from time to time. After a while, he discovered a problem.

When he and Wei Yuchen divided the area to search, they found that the rubbish was almost the same, with broken furniture, broken books, broken newspapers, various wood boards, flower pots, broken bowls, etc. All these things were piled on the ground, covered with a layer of dust.

However, after searching, he found that something seemed to be missing from Wei Yuchen's side.

He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and looked carefully, and it was still the same feeling.

He looked again at what Wei Yuchen had picked up and found that it was not more than what he had cut out.

Did he see it wrong? Geng Changshuo was very curious.

Wei Yuchen was searching for junk attentively when she suddenly felt that Geng Changshuo seemed to glance at her. She was startled. Did this fool find something?

After a while, she felt relieved when she saw that Geng Changshuo was still searching but didn't say anything.

Just now, the little squirrel was talking to herself in her space:

[The table and chair legs in front are all made of sandalwood, top quality sandalwood, which will be sold at a high price in the future. Alas, it's a pity that these people don't know the value of it.]

So she put a broken sandalwood table and a few chair legs into the space. This shouldn't be exposed.

At this moment, a squeaking sound rang in my mind again. The little squirrel was saying:

[Walk about 50 meters ahead, there are a lot of treasures there, but unfortunately people can’t see them, what a pity. ”]

Xia Qingqing smiled faintly, still walking slowly forward while searching. She had to keep steady, otherwise it would be bad if she was discovered.

Finally, when they reached about fifty meters, Xia Qingqing saw bundles of newspapers, several neatly tied bundles of books, and two cardboard boxes, which were also filled with books.

The newspapers and books outside are ordinary and cannot be considered treasures. The real treasures are the books in the cardboard boxes.

When Wei Yuchen thought of this, he looked around and saw that Geng Changshuo was not paying attention to him, so he put the two boxes of books directly into the space.

I also copied some from other places and filled it up to make the missing part less obvious.

After collecting two boxes of books, she continued to search. But she heard the little squirrel sigh:

[Alas, why don't you want that newspaper? After all, we are just mortals. There are many stamps hidden in it, which can be sold for a high price in the future! ]

stamp?

Wei Yuchen immediately thought of "The Whole Country is Red", which was a commemorative stamp issued to celebrate the establishment of revolutionary committees in various provinces. It was very famous in later generations. It was said that a "Big Red" stamp was sold at an auction for more than 10 million yuan, setting a world record at the time.

I wonder if this set of stamps is included in these bundles of newspapers.

Wei Yuchen didn't care whether there was anything in there or not. Since the little squirrel said so, he would just pick up the two bundles of newspapers.

He picked up the two bundles of newspapers, placed them next to the textbooks, exercise books, notes, etc. he had previously picked out, and began to rummage through them again.

When Wei Yuchen finally found her half, she had unknowingly stuffed dozens of books into the space.

"Are these enough?" Geng Changshuo also finished picking his half. There were quite a few textbooks and notes in it.

"That's enough. Let's take these over and let the gatekeeper take a look at how much they are worth."

"Okay, here, I'll take it."

Geng Changshuo picked up the books they had picked out and a bundle of newspapers and walked out.

He handed these things to the gatekeeper and said, "Uncle, please weigh them for us. How much are these things worth?

"All right, young man. Books and newspapers, two cents a pound! You have fifteen pounds, thirty cents."

Although the gatekeeper is over 50 years old, he works very efficiently and has a sharp mind. He just weighed the books and newspapers and immediately told the amount of money that should be paid.

Geng Changshuo took out three cents and was about to give it to the old man who was guarding the door, when he suddenly saw Geng Yuchen picking up a broken table from the broken furniture outside, and asked:

"You want this one too? Is it too worn out? If you want it, I'll find someone to make you a new one."

Xia Qingqing glared at him and said, "It costs more than two dollars to make a table like this, and this one is only 20 cents at most. Why can't you do the math? I want this one. You pay another 20 cents and give it to this old man, so we can save two dollars."

Geng Changshuo knew that Wei Yuchen would not buy a broken table just to save two or three dollars. There must be some secret about this table. But he couldn't ask here, so he had to cooperate and said:

"Look at you, you're still so stingy. Okay, let me ask you how much it is?"

"Not much, not much, just give me ten cents." The old man seemed quite easygoing.

Geng Changshuo directly took out 50 cents and handed it to the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper didn't want to give change, so he said to Wei Yuchen: "Girl, there are so many pieces of furniture in the yard. Why don't you pick another one? I'll give you 10 cents."

Wei Yuchen's lips twitched. This gatekeeper was quite interesting. Okay, she would go and take another look.

Wei Yuchen returned to the yard of the recycling station. He looked at the pile of broken furniture and really didn't know which one to choose.

"I want those two small stools, the one with a missing leg and the other with a broken leg." The little squirrel in the space kept squeaking.

Wei Yuchen pretended not to hear and rummaged around, finally picking up the two small stools.

Xia Qingqing picked up two broken benches and returned to the door of the scrap collection station. She waved the two benches to the gatekeeper and walked to Geng Changshuo.

Geng Changshuo came to his bicycle with books and newspapers, tied the books and newspapers to one side of the bicycle, then moved the broken table and prepared to tie it to the side of the bicycle.

But when he picked up the table, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: There is something fishy about this table.
