Chapter Four Unexpected Surprise
"Xiao Li, wait and see if you follow Xiao Shen and go to other departments to see if there are any waste things to deal with? Everyone's office is not spacious at all. If you get a bunch of useless waste items, you should clean it up as soon as possible."
"Save a lot of old things, not only takes up space, but also affects the image of the office."
He was short-speakable. When Lao He looked at Chen Lin again, he always thought that this silly young man looked good and knew how to do things, so he started to help him arrange things.
"From the future, we will keep all the scrap newspapers, books and so on in our department, and we will give it to this little comrade."
After drinking a piece of ice cream, it felt naturally cool. Xiao Li felt that the cool feeling was so refreshing, so he immediately agreed happily: "Don't worry, leave this little thing to me!"
With Xiao Li, Chen Lin’s business is more familiar with it.
In just half a day, Chen Lin pulled his flatbed cart and ran back and forth to the scrap purchase station three times.
The sun is extremely vicious, the air is motionless, and the sunlight roasts the leaves into curly and yellow like a fire.
Chen Lin's back was soaked in sweat, and he even felt that his naked skin was sore from the sun.
However, as he moved and unloaded things one after another, Chen Lin's pockets began to become more and more popped. Especially when he sold a batch of useless discarded books to the scrap purchase station, Chen Lin earned two yuan on that trip.
Although I was tired, I made money.
The bitterness lies in the body and the sweetness lies in the heart. The money I earned on this day was much more than working in the workshop.
If this momentum continues, you can open a waste recycling station independently.
Then, relying on the recycling station, we opened a second-hand repair shop specializing in recycling waste home appliances.
Let your superb craftsmanship show your skills!
A clear entrepreneurial plan has come to Chen Lin's mind.
The more you think about it, the more motivated you are.
In this life, you have to let your wife live a good life no matter what!
"Xiao Shen, this is an electric classroom, and they don't have many abandoned newspapers."
After working hard for an afternoon, I came to the last office and Xiao Li said, "Maybe you will be disappointed this time."
"Brother, you have helped me a lot." Chen Lin said sincerely: "Look at you, you don't have any airs, you are so approachable to me, a commoner. I have really made good luck!"
Xiao Li was shocked by Chen Lin's words and sighed in his heart, and he was secretly sighing that I am a leader, but this sense of superiority of being looked up to by others is still like a clear stream, blowing a crack in his heart, which is very useful.
I immediately smiled complacently and said, "It's okay, I'm not supposed to do it. If you have any questions in the future, come to me."
While speaking, Xiao Li knocked on the door of the electric classroom.
As Xiao Li said, the electronic classroom is not only small, but also few newspapers and used books. A stack of newspapers and magazines add up to less than 30 kilograms.
The young people in charge of receiving Xiao Li and Shen Lin have heard about Xiao Li and others who exchanged money for ice cream for selling scraps.
Now that I can’t even replace a popsicle with the waste products here, I can’t help but feel a little anxious.
After a while, he said to the person sitting in the office: "Brother Zheng, let's sell that old antique. Keep it without any use, and it still takes up space."
The person called Brother Zheng is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He pondered for a moment and said, "That old antique can't even be repaired in the repair shop. What can the young comrades want?"
While talking, he took Chen Lin to a warehouse, where a bunch of things were placed in a crooked manner.
In one corner, there is a shabby old radio.
It was almost covered with dust, and the color was not visible in the warehouse. The young man said, "This old antique has been broken for only three or four years. How much money can you give?"
Chen Lin looked at the old radio with English letters, which was still an imported product, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Come whatever you want!
However, at this time, Chen Lin did not show his surprise. He pretended to be honest and said, "If you sell it as a waste, the price is not high, but it would be good if this thing was placed in my house to scare people."
"I'll give you 50 cents, what do you think?"
"Fifty cents? If it doesn't break, I won't give you fifty dollars." The young man said this and hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, take it away!"
Anyway, it's broken, and it's useless to keep it, so it's better to cash out.
With the scorching sun on his head, Chen Lin pulled the car home. At this time, he felt like he was almost disbanded.
However, the eleven yuan and two cents in the pocket, plus the used radio on the car, made Chen Lin feel joyful.
In the early 1980s, an employee of an ordinary factory had a monthly salary of only about forty yuan.
This also requires the conversion of bonuses and benefits.
This shows how high the profits contained in the waste recycling industry are.
The only drawback is that you can only receive cash and no tickets.
After all, in this planned economy era of ticket-based shopping, tickets are hard currency.
If you don’t have food coupons or meat coupons, you have to be prepared to be slaughtered when buying things.
However, this kind of life will not be long. With the deepening of reform and opening up, the country's economy is improving day by day. Starting from the mid-1980s, the country was gradually abolishing some bills. Until 1993, after the full release of grain and oil, the 40-year era of ticket-based shopping came to an end.
He came to the meat shop with joy and prepared to buy some meat, but the butcher shop door was closed.
Chen Lin, who was a little disappointed, was about to think of other ways when he saw someone coming to him with a basket and said, "Do you want fish?"
fish!
Chen Lin looked at the man in his thirties and honest face and said, "How did you sell it?"
"Give me one dollar for this fish, or five kilograms of grain coupons." As the man spoke, he opened the lid on the basket and saw a large carp weighing three or four kilograms swimming in a porcelain basin filled with water.
The wild big carp is lively and full of vitality.
Chen Lin's heart suddenly became hot. Now Lu Xiaorong is in need of nutrition, and buying this fish is better than buying meat.
"Okay, I want it!"
Chen Lin was very satisfied with carrying the fish home.
Today I will use my skills to reward my wife.
As the sun sets, Lu Xiaorong walks mechanically towards home. The experience of this day makes her feel extremely uncomfortable.
The two most difficult words in the world are borrowing money.
The cold words of relatives and the rolling eyes of colleagues are still vivid in my mind.
Although she gritted her teeth tightly, tears still couldn't help but she wanted to shed from her face.
But this is not what bothers her the most. What makes her most uncomfortable is how she faces the landlord and aunt. It has been owed to others for so long, and it is really unreasonable to not pay it.
What to do? What should I do?
A man who relies on himself?
This thought just arose in Lu Xiaorong's heart, and Lu Xiaorong was a little discouraged. Men can be reliable, and pigs can climb trees. No matter who they rely on in this world, they cannot rely on Shen Lin...
Why can't I be stubborn and marry such a bastard?
Just as Lu Xiaorong was thinking about all kinds of thoughts, as soon as he walked into the corridor, he smelled a scent of fragrance. This fragrance made Lu Xiaorong's stomach, which had not eaten for a long time, couldn't help but snoring.
Whose family is stewing fish soup?
Thinking of the fish soup, Lu Xiaorong instinctively licked her lips. What she could do was just lick her lips at this time.
Looking back, the last time I ate fish was a few months ago, and there were not many food coupons at home.
He moved his feet upstairs mechanically, and the smell of fish soup was so good! Lu Xiaorong suppressed the desire in his heart and gently opened the door.
Maybe if you eat something, you won’t be so greedy!
But when Lu Xiaorong opened the door, she was surprised to find that the aroma of the stewed fish soup suddenly became more intense.
The fish soup is stewed at home!
