There's a garbage bin in my head

Chapter 2 Garbage System
"Xiaojiu, you are at home. I was about to call your dad! Weigh these things for me and see how much they can sell for." Before Luo Jiu could stop the tricycle, a voice came from the door of the courtyard. the sound of.

"Grandpa Yuanbao, did you call it a day so early today? The harvest is not small, the car is almost full."

An old man who looked to be around 70 or [-] years old used a human-powered tricycle to push a cart full of scraps towards the entrance of the courtyard. Seeing how he was struggling, it seemed that the weight of the things on the cart must be heavy, so Luo Jiu hurried up to help.

With Luo Jiu's help, the old man felt much more at ease: "I picked these up in the past two days. After they are sold out, I plan to dig a little bit of ground and plant some cabbages. They can be eaten during the Chinese New Year."

The person who came was an old man from Luo Jiu's same village. Everyone called him Yuan Bao. Luo Jiu didn't even know his name when he was in his 20s. Anyway, he was called Mr. Yuan Bao.

Although the old man is dressed in rags and often pushes a broken tricycle to pick up rags, the family conditions are not bad at all. The two sons and one daughter both have good jobs, and they both bought a house and a car outside.

Originally, the sons and daughters planned to pick him up to enjoy the blessings, but Yuan Bao couldn't stay in Lucheng for more than a month, so he left the old woman with the eldest son and returned to his hometown alone.

I raised some chickens and ducks at home, and then grew some vegetables. When I was free, I would go to the landfill not far from the village to pick up some scraps that could be sold for money, and then take them to Luo Jiu’s scrap yard to exchange for money. Most of the time, I come just before dinner time, and I just go home to make dinner after selling the scraps.

"Grandpa Yuanbao, you're very lucky today. These two pieces of copper are going to be worth your truckload of scraps." Luo Jiu dumped the scraps on the cart and separated them according to their prices.

"The price of copper has dropped a bit during this period. It's only 15 yuan per pound. Do you think you should sell it now or wait for the price to rise after a while?"

The price of scrap copper recycling was 18 yuan a catty some time ago, but the scrap recycling company that recycled Luo Jiu’s waste two days ago notified that the price of copper had dropped, and naturally Luo Jiu’s recycling price also dropped.

"It's 15 yuan a catty. It's 15 yuan a catty. It's ready to sell. Who knows if it will rise or fall after a while. Let me weigh it so that I can go back to grow cabbage. Lao Yun said to leave some cabbage seedlings for me. "

“铜6斤、废铁11斤、废纸30斤、塑料瓶3斤、……一共是187块钱，我给你凑个整算190块。你身上有没有10块钱零钱，有的话我给你200好了。”

"Yes, yes. Every time you come here, you give me a few extra dollars. If your father finds out, he will scold you again." Although Yuan Bao said this, the movements of his hands were not slow at all. After passing the 200 yuan handed over by Luo Jiu, he quickly put it into the small cloth bag where he kept the money.

In fact, Luo Jiu also learned from his father Luo Bang in doing this. The waste products of the Luo family stand in the waste industry in the entire county, and they should be regarded as relatively conscientious.

Of course, the price must be suppressed, otherwise, where to make money, small-scale scrap yards like Luo's would originally earn the price difference.

However, although the price is lowered, a fraction of one or two yuan will usually be filled up by those who come to sell scraps to make up a whole number.

But because of such an unintentional move, people who pick up waste nearby like to sell their waste at Luo's waste station.

When Yuan Bao walked away, Luo Jiu observed for a while, and when no one came, an invisible force swept across, and the waste products on the tricycle and the waste products sent by Yuan Bao just now disappeared from his eyes without a sound.

At the same time, a transparent interface appeared in front of Luo Jiu's eyes, similar to the game interface. The top line said "garbage collection and processing system" in large characters, Luo Jiu's abbreviation is processing system, and there are three small characters behind it—the first Version.

Below that line of characters, there are five options: sorting, recycling, repairing, warehouse, and store. However, the option "store" is currently locked and cannot be used.

Looking at the scraps that had just been collected, Luo Jiu clicked on the option of "Sorting". In the blink of an eye, all the scraps were arranged separately according to their respective types, and the things that had no recycling value were also sorted. come out.

I don't know when a few broken bricks were put in the recovered waste products, and they were separated out at this time.

Waste sorting is a particularly troublesome thing, but it is an essential process if you want to sell waste products at an ideal price.

But now it's all right, since this garbage disposal system is in place, all sorting of waste has become easier.

Luo Jiu first chose to recycle those broken bricks that had little value. A few bricks were sold for 5 copper coins, which was not as much as a mineral water bottle.

The plastic bottles weighed more than 6 catties in total, and the ones Luo Jiu received and the ingots were added together, and they were sold for a total of 8 silver coins.The most valuable thing is copper, which costs 20 silver coins per catty. The six catties of copper in Yuanbao were sold for 1 gold coin and 20 silver coins in total.

And the TV that Luo Jiu spent 50 yuan to get back was sold for 3 gold coins.Adding other odds and ends, Luo Jiu suddenly gained nearly a dozen gold coins.

Luo Jiu has not been in possession of the system for a long time, but she has some understanding of the functions of this system that appeared inexplicably.

During the period of getting the system, Luo Jiu made many attempts, and found that the thing he got seemed to be tailor-made for him.

It can process any garbage, and through the function of garbage sorting, it can sort out the things with recycling value. Anyway, in Luo Jiu's cognition, there is no such technology in the world.

So after getting the system, Luo Jiu never told anyone about it, and he doesn't plan to tell anyone in the future.

After trying for a while, Luo Jiu probably got some experience. The processing system can handle any garbage, and you can get a certain amount of money rewards for processing garbage, that is, gold coins, and 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10000 copper coins.

According to Luo Jiu's summary, one gold coin in the system is equivalent to 100 yuan in reality, and one silver coin is equivalent to 1 yuan.Using the recycling function of the processing system, Luo Jiu can get gold coins by selling waste products. Up to now, Luo Jiu’s total property is less than 200 gold coins, which is equivalent to 2 yuan worth of waste products that Luo Jiu got into the system. coming.

In addition to selling waste products to the system, you can also get gold coins by recycling all kinds of garbage, but compared with selling waste products, the gold coins you get from recycling garbage are much less.

During this period of time, Luo Jiu never threw the garbage at home outside once. All of it was fed into the system. Most of the time, a full bucket of garbage would only get a dozen copper coins, but occasionally there would be a reward of one or two silver coins. when.

If the amount of garbage is large, it is also a good way to accumulate gold coins, but Luo Jiu can't easily get a lot of garbage.

Luo Jiu also thought about going to the landfill not far from the village to collect garbage, but thinking about the cameras that can be seen everywhere now, Luo Jiu gave up such an idea.

And one thing that makes Luo Jiu feel painful is that these gold coins in the system, Luo Jiu can't get them in reality, they can only be used in the processing center.
