Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 63 Bought a pile of junk

When they arrived at the place, the young man was sitting on a chair, reading a book. When he saw Jiang Feng coming, he stood up and said, "Look, do you want all of these?"

Jiang Feng said, "I want both. How much do you want?"

"I don't know. Not many people come here to buy things every year. I want to ask my master. Wait here for me."

The young man turned around and ran to a small warehouse. Jiang Feng could only put the things in his hand on the table and the fan on the ground. The fans at that time were extremely heavy, weighing at least thirty or forty kilograms each. Even the blades were made of iron. It was estimated that the person who brought it bought it as scrap metal.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties came over, looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Why did you buy these things? They are all junk and useless." People of this era were really vigilant. The country had only been founded for a few years and there were still many enemy spies. The control over these electronic products was still very strict. At least some things in the radio and the radio station could be replaced.

Jiang Feng stepped forward and handed over a cigarette, and also gave one to the young man, and took out his student ID. Fortunately, these things were all packed in the space, otherwise no one would have anything to do and would carry them around every day.

"This is my student ID. I study at XX High School. I will graduate next year. I plan to learn the skills of an electrician. I have been reading books at home for more than a month. I want to buy some scrap electrical appliances to practice. No matter how much theory I learn, it is better to try it out."

The older man's expression eased up and he introduced himself: "My last name is Liu. Although these things are scrap, they are very expensive to buy. Do you have that much money? I can issue an invoice. If you can fix them, you can use them yourself, but you can't sell them, otherwise it would be speculation. But you can sell them to us, and I can issue an invoice for them."

"Master Liu, I know this. I'm just practicing. It doesn't matter if I can fix it well or not. I just want to get familiar with the circuit. If I'm really lucky and can fix it, I will definitely keep it for myself first. Don't you agree?"

Master Liu nodded, looked at the radio on the table and the fan on the ground, and calculated: "The radio is more expensive, 25 yuan each. There are five of them here, so it's 125 yuan. This fan was bought at the price of scrap metal. I spent more than 20 yuan. You can give me 30 yuan. The total is 155 yuan."

Jiang Feng was also a little shocked when he heard this. This amount of money was enough for a family of three to eat for a year. He said to Master Liu, "Master Liu, it's a bit expensive. I was introduced by Grandpa Huang. See if you can make it cheaper."

"Oh, Mr. Huang recommended it to me, and the price is not too high. Just give me 150 yuan. You can take it back and have a look. If it can't be repaired, can you still sell it to us? We bought this radio for 20 yuan each."

After listening to this, Jiang Feng did some calculations and figured out that even if he couldn't repair any one machine, he would only lose a few dozen dollars. The electrician's memory in his mind was not false, so he would make money if he could repair one machine.

"Okay, that's it, pay the money here."

"Come with me to the warehouse. Xiao Li, find some ropes and tie up these radios so they will be easier to carry when the time comes. You will have to carry the fans."

"Hey, thank you, Master Liu. I have a bicycle. Please give me some ropes later so I can tie the fan to the back."

When Master Liu heard that there was a bicycle, he guessed that the person must be from a wealthy family. He was so young, and no one in an ordinary family would give a bicycle to a young person in their family.

After entering the warehouse, Jiang Feng took out a handful of money from his pocket, counted out 150 yuan, and handed it to Master Liu. Master Liu took the money, counted it once, and found it was just right. He took out a receipt and wrote: Five radios and one electric fan, a total of 150 yuan, signed, and stamped. He tore off a copy and handed it to Jiang Feng, and also instructed: "If it is repaired, don't buy it privately. I will charge yuan for each good one."

"Hey, thank you, Master Liu." Jiang Feng took the receipt and stuffed a pack of cigarettes over to him. Master Liu took the cigarettes and smiled even more. He made at least 30 yuan from this business today. Although it was a public account, everyone's welfare would be better if there was a profit, not to mention a pack of Daqianmen.

"Don't worry, brother. I'll keep all these things for you in the future. Come over and have a look when you have time."

"My name is Jiang Feng, you can just call me Xiao Feng. Since you are about the same age as my dad, I will call you Uncle Liu."

"Hey, that's right. Where do you live? If there's anything good, I'll ask Xiao Li to find you. Don't worry, I'll keep it for you if there's anything good."

"I live in No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. The two rooms opposite the entrance are mine. I usually put small things there. I come and look around when I have time. But I only want electrical appliances. I'll trouble Uncle Liu for that."

"No trouble, no trouble. With your business today, we can at least get two taels of meat this month. I wish you would come more often."

The two men were talking and laughing, Xiao Li followed behind with the things in his hand, when they reached the door, Jiang Feng took out another pack of cigarettes and walked around, said hello to Grandpa Huang, then walked towards the bicycle with the radio and fan. Master Liu kicked Xiao Li, who hurried forward to help tie the fan to the back seat. Jiang Feng said thank you, waved towards the door, then rode towards the courtyard.

Jiang Feng thought about it while walking on the road, and still didn't put these things into the space. If the people in the courtyard couldn't see them, there would be more of these things at home. With the temperament of the people in the courtyard, they would definitely cause trouble. So they drove to the courtyard. Jiang Feng parked the car outside first, took the radio and electric fan in first, and saw the third aunt cleaning at the door. The third aunt saw Jiang Feng buying so many things and asked in surprise: "Xiao Feng, why did you buy so many radios? How much do they cost? There is also an electric fan."

"I don't have much money. I bought it at a scrapyard. It's all broken. I plan to buy it back and figure it out myself."

"Oh." When the third aunt heard that it was bad, she didn't say anything else. Anyway, it was not my family's money, so she didn't bother to ask.

Seeing that the third aunt had gone back to work, Jiang Feng carried all the things into the house, looked around, picked up the prepared table, put the radio on it, and placed the electric fan on the ground. After thinking for a while, he decided to find something to pad the table to avoid getting it dirty.

After putting the things away, Jiang Feng closed the door, turned around and walked out again. He hadn't bought the soda he promised He Yushui.

When he got to the department store, each bottle cost 2 cent, and returning a bottle cost cents. Jiang Feng thought about it, then took bottles and told the salesperson that he would return them all after he finished them. He then paid a deposit of yuan, rented a bamboo basket to put the bottles in, put them on the back seat, and rode back.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he only had four bottles of soda left in his hand. He greeted the auntie sitting in the front yard and went into the house with the soda. Only Banggeng was playing in front of his house, with his eyes glued to Jiang Feng's hands. As soon as Jiang Feng entered the house, Banggeng ran back, and soon there were sounds of crying and being beaten. Since Jia Zhang left, Qin Huairu also started to teach Banggeng a lesson as Jia Dongxu said.

Jiang Feng was at He Yuzhu's house. When he heard the noise next door, he started to smile. After Jia Zhang left, Bang Geng's status in the family became lower and lower. At least, he would just need to be beaten a few more times to stop throwing tantrums.

Arriving at the kitchen, Jiang Feng put the soda in his hand into the water tank, and took out all the bottles in the space. After thinking for a while, he decided to put 10 bottles here in total, and take the rest to his side and drink them up later.

Several aunties in the courtyard started talking about Jiang Feng as soon as he entered. The third auntie said, "I saw Jiang Feng go out and buy a bunch of junk today, including several radios and electric fans. I don't know how much money he spent. How can he live like this?"

Aunt Wang in the front yard continued, "Why buy this thing? You can't eat or drink it. It's not like it can be repaired."

"I haven't heard of it. I've never seen him tinkering with these things before. He's in high school, not a technical secondary school, where he can learn maintenance."

"That's right. I've never heard him say that before, and I've never seen him do these things before. Third Aunt, you live in the front yard, have you seen them before?"

"This is the first time I've seen this thing today, but I think I heard Old Yan mention it last time, saying that Jiang Feng was reading a book on electricians. Is he learning it at home?"

"No way, how can you teach yourself electrician? This is an electric hog, very dangerous. Two years ago, someone in Yard 68 connected a light at home and died at home."

"Yes, electric tigers are meant to eat people, Third Aunt, you have to talk to Xiaofeng and tell him to pay attention to safety."

After a few aunties in the courtyard spread the word, basically the whole courtyard knew that Jiang Feng was teaching himself electrician. Jiang Feng was still cooking at home at this time, and didn't know that everyone knew about it. But even if they knew, he wouldn't care. The technology in his mind was at least 20 years ahead of the electrical appliances we use now. As long as safety measures were taken, it would be fine. What was worrying Jiang Feng now was where to get the tools. He needed several screwdrivers, pliers, a hammer, tape, a multimeter, etc. He didn't know how much the whole set would cost, and the key was that he didn't know where to buy them.

At this time, Jiang Feng heard a knock on the door. Jiang Feng walked out of the kitchen because he was cooking at home and He Yushui would come over soon. He didn't close the door today. Seeing Auntie standing at the door, Jiang Feng stepped forward and said, "Auntie, you are here. Come in and sit down."

Auntie looked at Jiang Feng with an unnatural expression on her face and walked in. Since the last meeting when Yi Zhonghai's selfishness was exposed, Jiang Feng, He Yuzhu and He Yushui have not visited Uncle Yi again. Normally, when they see him outside, they would just say hello and basically have no dealings with him. This is the first time Auntie has come to the He family in recent years.
