Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

Yuanni had already started school at this time, and she still retained the habit of going to school and returned home in the evening.

The fourth aunt had been waiting for a while. When she saw Yuanni coming back, she pulled her into her room to talk, "Nier, do you still remember the wood sleeve that my predecessor collected?"

"of course I remember."

The sleeves collected by the fourth aunt are made of wood, which is not an advantage in terms of material. If it were not for Qiao Zonger and an overseas Chinese who happened to be collecting them, it would have been impossible to sell them at such a high price.

This thing was sold by Yuanni, and she had an impression.

"Listen to me, today we went to the hospital to see He Guizhi and heard something..."

The fourth aunt repeated what the museum comrades said, "I heard what they mean, this four-sided bronze tripod is a big thing, and it is very precious. There should be eight more pockets installed together with the big tripod.

When I was doing my calculations, the seller said that he still had quite a few in hand. I vaguely remembered that he said there were eight in total.

Isn't this just right? Tell me, will the seller know about the bronze tripod? "

"Are they really talking about a bronze tripod with a goat's head on all sides?"

"Really, that's the name."

Like the Yongle Dadian, the bronze tripod with four goat heads is another treasure that has been lost in the long river of history. Everyone knows that this thing is precious, but except for a few photos, no one has seen this object.

"Where did you collect the wooden pocket calculation?"

"The courtyard of the optical instrument factory is quite big. I was standing at the door. The things were delivered by the seller himself. I don't know which household he lives in." The fourth aunt patted her head in annoyance. She would have asked more questions if she had known better. A few words.

"It doesn't matter. It's enough to know the family home of the optical instrument manufacturer."

Nowadays, population mobility is very poor. Most people work in the same unit until they grow old. I heard from my fourth aunt that the seller is about fifty years old. People of this age are generally not retired yet, so they must be permanent residents of family homes.

"You mean, as long as we guard the courtyard of the optical instrument factory, we will definitely be able to find this person?"

"Correct."

The only thing worth worrying about is that He Guizhi talks too much and advertises everywhere that his family sells a valuable pocketbook, which even attracts human traffickers.

Now I just hope that the seller of the wooden pocket counter has not heard about this. If he hears it, he will definitely keep it tight.

In the vast sea of ​​people, this person wanted to hide. If he didn't show up, it would be difficult to find him.

"It shouldn't happen. The optical instrument factory is far away from our alley, at least five miles away.

And He Guizhi was very precise. She said that what her family sold was gold abacus, which was not comparable to wooden abacus. "The fourth aunt comforted Yuanni and herself.

"So much the better."

Things came to a close. Yuan Ni didn't want to disturb too many people, so she discussed with her fourth aunt to let her visit the optical instrument factory more during the day. "I'll go there in the evenings and weekends, and we'll take turns."

"to make."

There have been more people collecting rags recently, and some people have begun to occupy the land. However, near the optical instrument factory, my fourth aunt has been observing the rules.

When it comes to collecting treasures, it has always been a matter of deliberately planting flowers and planting willows to create shade. When you don't force it, someone will bring the treasure to your door.

The next day, the fourth aunt walked around the optical instrument factory and collected a lot of old newspapers, but there was no clue about the pocket calculation, nor did she see the person who sold the pocket calculation.

She was somewhat frustrated, and she would have asked more questions if she had known better.

After returning home, Yuanni had already had dinner. After hearing what her fourth aunt had said, she comforted her, "I'll go take a look later."

The two unloaded the scraps from the tricycle together, and Yuanni set off on the empty tricycle.

The road leading from the alley to the courtyard of the optical instrument factory is a flat asphalt road, which is considered one of the main roads. Although the rush hour has passed, there are still many people on the road.

Opposite the optical instrument factory's courtyard is the optical instrument factory. It's not yet dark yet, and people are coming out of the factory one after another.

Yuanni parked the tricycle next to the concierge.

The concierge opened the window and asked her with a smile, "I recognize this car. It belongs to my little wife. Why did you replace it?"

"That's my fourth aunt. She's resting tonight, and I'll help her look at the ground," Yuan Ni said, taking out a pack of cigarettes from her yellow satchel and handing it over, "It's my first time here, so I'm not doing it right. Yes, master, please give me more advice."

"Oh, you are more polite than your aunt. Take the cigarette back. People here are easy to talk to. As long as you don't take things randomly, you can even enter the yard." The concierge said with a smile.

Despite what the other party said, Yuan Ni still put the cigarette on his table, "I won't go in today. I won't go in for the time being. I'll take whatever you charge."

"That's alright. The price your aunt gave is fair. Anyone who has scraps at home will save them and give them to her."

Just like what the concierge said, it didn't take long for several people to come and deliver scraps.

There are old newspapers, toothpaste rinds, pig bristles, broken pots and scrap iron.

"I don't have enough toothpaste for one pound, can I use newspapers to make up for it?" the old lady selling scrap products said with a smile.

"No problem, the prices of these two items are different. Let me weigh the newspapers." Yuan Ni quickly calculated the prices clearly with her nimble hands and feet and quick thinking. "These things add up to eighty-nine cents. You can exchange them for eggs." OK."

In the fourth aunt's car, there was a cardboard box with a bamboo basket inside, which was padded with straw and filled with half a basket of eggs.

In addition to eggs, there are also small mirrors, wooden combs and hand-woven baskets in the cartons.

These items were wholesaled by my fourth aunt, and the prices were cheaper than in department stores.

People who sell scraps are very smart. After doing some calculations, many people found that it is more appropriate to exchange eggs than money, so many people choose to exchange eggs.

"I'll exchange a pound of eggs, and you can give me the rest in money."

"Come on."

Yuanni counted out the eggs and gave the remaining few cents to the old lady, "You can do the math again, right?"

"Yes, yes, from now on, I will leave all the junk I have to you. I know this car, and you can calculate it clearly..." The old lady wrapped the egg with a handkerchief and said with a smile.

"Rag collector, help me see what this is?" At this moment, a middle-aged man in his fifties came out of the courtyard, carrying a fertilizer bag in his hand.

The man's expression was sinister, and he raised his hand and threw it away. A loud bang was heard as the bag collided with the tricycle.

No need to ask, just by hearing the sound, Yuan Ni knew that the fertilizer bag must be filled with metal. As for what kind of metal it was, she had to get her hands on it to see.

"You don't know what this is?" Yuanni frowned.

"I picked it up on the road. It seems to be old. Aren't you a rag collector? You should have seen a lot of things. Please help me take a look first."

The old lady was very enthusiastic and poured the thing out directly. "Oh, this is just a fragment. It's really strange. Why is the rust on it green? I have never seen green rust."

This object is about half a foot long and irregular in shape. It looks like a fragment. It is rusty and covered with green patina.

Yuan Ni's thoughts moved slightly, and she reached out to touch it. Her tentacles were scorching hot. Just when she was about to pick up the fragment and take a closer look, she heard a woman's scream, "Put it down quickly, this is not for sale..."
