Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

What Yuanni didn't expect was that before she could say whether she would close the iron manhole cover or not, the man with a deer head and rat eyes took out a large roll of wires from his back, "Do you want to close the copper wire?"

Regarding the acquisition of precious metal items, there are clear regulations. Small quantities, such as a few screws, can be collected at will.

For large amounts of metal with unknown origins, the purchasing station has the right to require the other party to provide proof.

Thinking of this, Yuanni also calmed down, "Where is the unit certificate?"

"What proof? This is what we picked up from scavenging."

Who would throw away such a big iron manhole cover?

Yuan Ni looked regretful, "You can't accept it without proof, right?"

The man with a deer head and rat eyes lowered his voice, "You only need to raise your hand to stop it. If you don't say anything, no one will know that this thing is unproven."

As he spoke, he quietly handed over ten dollars.

Yuanni's monthly salary is more than 40 yuan, and Master Guo can get [-] yuan a month. For ordinary purchasing station employees like them, ten yuan is a lot of money.

However, this opening cannot be opened.

The iron manhole covers and copper wires obtained by these two people were probably stolen. Taking their money was equivalent to being on a pirate ship. What if they all went to the purchasing station to sell the stolen goods in the future?

Yuanni's eyes flashed, "There must be proof. Without proof, I dare not accept it."

After saying this, she sat down at the table and ignored these two people.

The two boys muttered for a long time, and then came to plead with Yuan Ni, but they were still firmly rejected.

They had no choice but to lift the manhole cover and leave cursing.

"Comrade, this is also scrap metal. I have no proof. Can I accept it?" A man dressed as an old farmer observed it for a long time and finally summoned the courage to ask Yuanni.

Yuanni asked him to open the sack, and it turned out that it was full of scraps of copper and iron, including old wires, broken bolts, old locks, and lumps of pig iron.

"You don't need to prove these things." Yuan Ni said, getting ready to help the old farmer weigh the scales.

At this time, the deputy station chief came, "Comrade Xiao Yuan, how are you? Is it okay to work alone?"

"No big problem."

"Wait a minute, you have to pick through this pile of junk before you can collect it." The deputy station director said, handing over a magnet.

Yuan Ni had no choice but to follow the deputy station manager's instructions and pick out the waste products one by one from the sack, suck them with a magnet, and then put them on the scale.

"That's right, pick them one by one. Some things look like iron, but they are not iron..." The deputy station manager looked at Yuan Ni and felt her hands full of dust. She was very satisfied.

Yuan Ni could only nod. At this moment, she touched a lump of pig iron and her right hand suddenly felt hot. It was a cultural relic...

The deputy station manager was watching from the side, so he could only take the things in as scrap metal and then replace them with the same price.

Yuan Ni thought so, so she picked up the magnet and sucked on it, "Huh? There is no suction. Isn't this iron?"

The deputy station manager frowned and tested it himself. "It's not copper either. It's probably a scrap."

The things that the scrap collection station calls scrap lumps are non-copper, non-iron, and non-aluminum. They are not reliable in any of them, so they are naturally worthless.

"You don't want it?" The old farmer was anxious. He picked up a lot of scraps of scrap metal. They were all small trinkets, but this one was a little bigger.

The deputy webmaster clapped his hands and said, "It's nothing, how can I give you a price?"

After the deputy station manager left, Yuan Ni quietly said to the old farmer, "Take this scrap lump and sell it at No. 29 Shifang Street."

The old farmer immediately beamed with joy, "What, that place also collects waste?"

"Yes, their standards for collecting scrap are different from those at the collection station. I'll write you a note. Just knock on the door with this note. If someone opens the door, give it to them."

Yuanni said, tearing out a page from the notebook and writing a few lines.

Ever since Master Qi was investigated, Yuan Ni realized that she and Master Guo might be targeted.

In this case, you can't touch the things at the purchase station easily, as you may get into trouble.

So Yuan Ni and Zhao Di Pandi agreed that anyone who came to the house with a note would have their two sisters pay them directly according to the price on the note.

In this way, a lot of trouble can be avoided.

The old man put away the small note like a treasure, waited for Yuan Ni to finish calculating the price of scrap metal, then left with the iron lump in his arms.

The deputy stationmaster was smoking outside the gate. He watched the old man take Tie Biao away and then left with his hands behind his back.

As soon as the get off work time came at noon, Yuan Ni hurriedly locked the door and went back. She had to see if her two sisters had any iron bumps.

Zhaodi and Pandi are still doing math problems. In order to keep up with the progress in school, the two sisters are also working hard.

"You said Tie Giao Da, I got it. An old man came and knocked on the door. He said he was here to sell things, so I opened the door as you said. Look, this is it." Zhao Di hugged her from the empty room. There is an iron knot.

"Yes, this is the thing. Did you give it according to the price I said?"

"I gave him ten yuan, and he was very happy."

Yuan Ni brought a basin of water and soaked the iron lump directly in it. She had a feeling that the rust on it could be removed.

Zhaodi thought Yuanni wouldn't come back, so she made some noodles at noon.

Mudou noodles are made by adding noodles into the noodle soup. The noodles are shapeless. When they come out of the pot, sprinkle some garlic sprouts and leeks to make them fresh.

This kind of noodles is mainly about convenience and filling.

After finishing the meal, Yuanni told Zhaodi and Pandi not to touch the iron lumps in the basin.

"Don't worry, Sister Nier, we know that these things are precious."

Yuan Ni was restless after working all afternoon. She wanted to know what was under the rust.

In the afternoon, only a few old ladies selling cardboard boxes came. The goods were very clean and there was no adulteration in them. Yuan Ni happily weighed them and counted the money.

After finally getting off work, she hurried home. As soon as she entered the house, Zhaodi told her, "Sister Ni'er, all the rust on the iron bumps has fallen off."

Real rust will not be soaked away by clean water. What can be soaked down must be old dirt.

There is no rust, only dirt, which means this thing is really not iron.

Yuan Nier poured out all the dirt in the basin, replaced it with fresh water, and brushed it again with a soft brush. At this time, the iron lumps were revealed.

The iron knot is about two fists high, with a square base. On top of the base is a strange beast with horns on its head. The beast is very energetic and has a ball under its feet.

After two cleanings.There is still a lot of dirt on its surface, but underneath the dirt there is a golden light that cannot be concealed, indicating that this object is most likely made of gold or wrought copper.

But what is this?

Yuan Nier started to think about it while looking at it. The moment she opened the base, she suddenly saw words on the base.

With a flash of lightning, Yuan Ni suddenly understood what the iron knot was. It was a golden seal.
