Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

After taking a few photos of the dog, Wu Yuansheng closed the door and left.

We found a restaurant nearby for lunch.

(Originally, he brought bread with him, but since he arrived in the city, he didn’t plan to eat it. It would be best to improve the food.)

After leaving the restaurant, I checked the time and saw it was almost half past two.

He drove to the piling construction site in the old city, planning to walk around the construction site and the demolition area for a while before going home.

It's autumn and winter, it's almost December, it gets dark early, and if you go to other places, you'll waste all your afternoon on the road.

When he arrived near the construction site, he found a spot to park his car on the side of the road, then walked to the gate of the construction site to take a look inside.

It is divided into several areas, and it seems that the contractors and construction companies below are not the same.

Such a large construction site covers several houses, and it is a high-rise residential building with about 40 or 50 floors. It is not surprising that there are several contractors subcontracting.

In various areas, those pile drivers are driving piles.

The steel workers inside are also making relevant steel bar models as required.

The driver of the forklift is transporting the muck on the surface caused by the pile driver.

The construction workers are also making gestures or supervising in various places according to the engineering drawings.

A busy scene.

After watching for a while, he left here and went to the demolition area next to the nearby car battery factory.

Although they are all shantytowns, the houses here are different from the demolition areas in the old city and have very few historical buildings.

Of course, there are many similarities. The styles of the buildings in family homes or some private houses are still similar.

Driving to the front of the former "Hao Zai Lai" restaurant, he found that the door had been smashed.

There was a big word "Demolish" written on the wall next to the door.

The house has been expropriated and the restaurant owner has moved away. It is not known where he has moved now.

A lot has changed in more than a year.

Maybe this is the big demolition. Urban development is happening every day, whether in the city or in the suburbs.

After parking the car, he saw a few recycling people standing there chatting not far away, so he walked over there.

"Boss Wu, you're here just in time. I got an old hanging pot. Check it out if you want it. This thing is very rare now!"

Before he could reach them, a recycling master named Gong saw him and greeted him from a distance.

After saying that, he walked to his tricycle and began to search.

When Wu Yuansheng walked up to him, an iron, round bamboo basket-like object was lifted into his hand.

Different from the bamboo basket, it has a conical bottom and an iron lid on the top.

This was the first time he saw such an iron hanging pot.

"Isn't it rare? This was something from the 1950s, 1960s, or 1960s and 1970s. It is no longer used. You are young, so you must have seen less of it!"

Master Gong said to him again.

"It's rare, but it's rare. The main reason is that its material is not good. Most iron things are worthless. Let me test the weight first!"

As Wu Yuansheng spoke, he took the hanging pot from his hand.

I estimated the weight based on feeling, and it weighed about seven or eight kilograms.

The iron pot is very thick and not too small, but it has not been used for many years and is a bit rusty.

If you want to use it, find a blacksmith who knows traditional craftsmanship, burn it red and beat it, and it can still be used.

"Can you tell me how much it costs?"

Zhou Anming likes this thing. He has never seen anything like this in his folk culture museum.

If you encounter it now, buy it. After a while, you can bring other items with you and sell them to him together.

"It's worth thirty or fifty yuan!"

Boss Gong thought for a moment and said.

"Thirty-fifty, then I'll give you thirty. In addition to the fact that our collection price is higher, you can get it from the scrap collection station for up to 10 yuan."

Looking at him, Wu Yuansheng smiled and said, the number thirty or fifty is itself a variable.

"You give me forty! Just the middle price."

He said nothing and agreed.

I paid the money and got the hanging pot.

"Boss Wu, I have some toys here. Do you want them? Your children are growing up day by day. They will definitely be indispensable in the future."

Seeing that they completed the transaction, another person named Peng, who was engaged in recycling, said to him.

"I will buy new toys for my daughter! But what toy are you talking about? I can take a look!"

For old toys, many nostalgic people, especially those who have owned and played with such toys, usually collect them.

There weren’t as many toys as there were a few decades ago, and not everyone could afford them.

Some toys from an early age and with a small variety have great collection value and are also very expensive.

He said some, probably quite a few.

"They're all here. You'll know when you come to my tricycle and take a look!"

As Boss Peng spoke, he lifted a piece of cloth on the car, revealing a wooden box that was not too big. Then he opened the lid of the wooden box.

The contents appeared in front of him.

They are indeed some toys, quite a few of them, including:

Wind-up iron toys, rubber toys, wooden toys, plush toys and porcelain toys, etc.

Wu Yuansheng walked to the box and took it one by one and looked at it.

Among the wind-up tin toys, there are "car", "hen laying eggs", "little magpie", "tin frog" and so on.

Rubber toys include "dolls", "parrots", "pugs", "donkeys", "goose", etc.

Wooden toys include "rattle", "rattle", "pistol", "slingshot", "fish", "roly-poly", etc.

Plush toys are mainly dolls and small animals.

Porcelain toys include "Piggy Bank", "Giant Panda", "Mickey Mouse", "Donald Duck", "Bird Shaped Whistle", "Doraemon" and so on.

These toys are from different years. The earliest ones are from the 1950s and 1960s, and the latest ones are from around 2000.

It may be that the toys of two or three generations of a family were sorted together. They were not taken away when they moved, but Boss Peng picked them up.

While holding it, he discovered that there was a porcelain toy that was different from other toys.

This toy is in the shape of a sika deer, which is lying with its head turned and has a base underneath, like a rectangular soap box.

Turning the side of the base, he suddenly saw two letters "XO". Seeing this, he felt very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he knew what it was.

This is obviously a bottle of wine. I have bought "XO" wine before.

I looked at other places and found that there was still a wine lid, but it was wrapped with tape and sealed well.

This bottle of wine is very small, about two taels.

After shaking it, you can clearly feel the wine inside.

Of course, this was when he knew it was a bottle of wine.

If most people don't know the "secret", they won't be able to feel it without observing it carefully.

Without saying anything, Wu Yuansheng regarded it as an ordinary toy and placed it with the other toys he had seen before, and then looked at the other toys.
