Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father
Chapter 31 Fake Jin's sister makes a living by collecting scrap 9
Mrs. Si tentatively asked Aunt Li if she had any thoughts of selling the house.
Aunt Li said it would be best if it could be sold, otherwise she would have to ask her younger brother from her natal family to come over every day to help her light the fire in the winter.
Just to illustrate how hot it is without burning any coal, we still need two carts of coal in that winter.
Mrs. Si also told Aunt Li about her idea of buying the house, and asked Aunt Li and her husband to think about how much they were willing to sell it for.
There is no rush. We have to wait until the compensation is paid before we can discuss the price.
The next day, Si Haoyu got up early and took Zhang Qi to school, while Si Rong and Si's mother set out to see the tricycles.
There is a second-hand goods market in the south of the city, and there is a repair shop at the door that repairs cars, shoes, and buys used parts.
He has second-hand bicycles and tricycles for sale.
After some bargaining, the mother and daughter finally settled on one hundred and fifty-five yuan. Sirong also bought a wooden scale at the flea market to use for weighing the cardboard.
Sirong rode the bike in front, and Si's mother sat in the back of the bike. The mother and daughter began their career of collecting waste.
Si's mother took a big loudspeaker and went from street to street shouting that she was collecting junk. If anyone had any waste, she would call them over.
I would also go into restaurants and convenience stores I passed by and ask.
When passing by a convenience store with a public telephone, Sirong thought for a moment and went in to call Zhang Zhenhua's mobile phone.
I told him that I was going to change Zhang Qi's household registration on Friday, and Zhang Zhenhua also wanted to handle Si Xuan's household registration, so we agreed to do it together on Friday.
After putting down the phone, I asked casually, "Auntie, do you have any scrap to sell?"
The old lady, who looked to be in her fifties, was wearing a Dacron shirt and sitting behind the counter, listening to the radio and eating sunflower seeds. She glanced at Sirong and said, "You're a junk collector, and it just so happens that what I've saved is almost ready to be sold."
Come with me, the stuff is in the backyard."
As he said this, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stood up and walked out from behind the counter.
"Auntie, please wait a moment. I'll go get the scale." Sirong said to the auntie and went to the door to tell her mother. Then she took the scale and went to the backyard with the auntie.
The garbage was placed in the corridor between the shop and the backyard, and the old lady leaned her shoulder on the door frame of the back door of the shop so that people coming in from the front could also see what they wanted to buy.
The old lady pointed to a pile of waste paper and said to Sirong, "Go in and take it yourself. We don't want that pile of paper and the pile of scrap metal next to it."
"Ok."
The cardboard was tied into bundles and stacked against the wall, next to a pile of empty cans and scrap metal.
Sirong swept her eyes over the waste and turned on the intelligent brain detection function.
The intelligent brain reminds you to start detecting items.
[Cardboard] A modern paper product made from wood pulp, used for packaging items. It is damaged. The middle layer is partially filled with water.
【Estimated value】7.5 yuan.
[Cans] Modern aluminum products that are broken and need to be melted into aluminum ingots for secondary use. They are mixed with sand.
【Estimated value】13 yuan.
[Bottle Cap] Iron products need to be remelted into iron ingots for secondary use.
【Estimated value】1.6 yuan.
[Beer Bottle] Glass product, can be used for melting glass.
【Estimated value】Three yuan.
Good boy! These ladies will do anything to get a lower weight on their scrap.
The old lady stood at the door, looking back at the shop in front from time to time, while watching Sirong packing up the pile of things.
Seeing that she was young, I couldn't help but chat with Sirong: "Little girl, how old are you? You're already collecting waste? My daughter was still in school when she was your age.
After graduation, she worked as a salesperson in our department store. It was a very leisurely job.”
As he spoke, he spat the melon seed shells in his mouth onto the ground.
Sirong spoke to the old lady without even looking up: "Your daughter has such a good job, but she's not very filial, is she?"
When the old lady heard Sirong say this, her face changed: "Who said my daughter is unfilial? She gives me 200 yuan every month for living expenses."
"Huh? Your shop seems to be doing well, and your daughter is so filial. Why did you add water to the cardboard? This can is also full of sand?"
When the old lady heard these words, her face became a little embarrassed: "Who would add water in it for no reason? The carton was already wet when the delivery man brought it. What can I do?
Are you going to throw away the goods inside just because a cardboard box got wet?"
Sirong just stood there and watched the old lady quibbling without saying a word.
"Maybe some kid was playing with sand and got it in there, and that's when Keda Keda came out."
While the old lady was talking non-stop, Sirong was using her toes to pick at a pile of scrap metal and bottle caps. Just as she was thinking about not being able to pay the original price, the intelligent computer detected something else.
[Abandoned tea can] This is an iron product. The can body is rusted and can be used to melt iron ingots. Inside it are several river pebbles and a piece of Hetian jade.
【Estimated value】70,000.
Sirong paused and raised her hand to signal the aunt to stop.
"Auntie, I won't say anything about the extra paper. I'll take it from you. I can't charge you for this can by the kilogram. If you agree, you can sell it to me at 10 cents each. Otherwise, I don't want it."
The old lady was delighted when she heard this: "Okay, then you settle the bill, I'll watch."
Normally, if you press the can, it's 8 cents each. She's still too young. She looks smart, and I thought she was so great. But this is it?
The old lady curled her lips in disdain.
Some weighed it, some checked the number, and finally the total amount for the old lady was twenty-five yuan and sixty cents.
After loading the things into the car, Sirong took Si's mother and left.
When they arrived at the scrap collection station, Sirong took out the tea can and put it into her cross-body bag where she kept change.
I sold all the other things. I haven't found the buyer for the scrap yard yet, and these things will just be piled up in the backyard if I take them back. It's better to exchange them for money first.
Just do this for now, and then find out the rest later.
When she got home, Si Rong's mother and father were busy cooking, so she went to the backyard to find a saw and slowly sawed the tea can in half.
This kind of tea can is just a layer of iron sheet with a layer of paint on it. It will easily rust if it is placed outside and exposed to water.
Not to mention that the lady is also a talented person, able to come up with such an idea.
A tea can is just a layer of iron sheet, no matter how heavy it is, it will be different if it is filled with stones.
When the jar was sawed open at the mouth, it was found to be filled with not only stones but also fine sand.
Sirong rummaged through the pile of pebbles for a long time, picking them up one by one to look at them, before she heard the voice of the intelligent computer saying Hetian jade.
The stone is about the size of a duck egg, with a reddish-brown oily skin and some white flesh showing through. It has a smooth and warm texture, a piece of warm jade.
