Chapter 20 The Great Cause of Scavenging
The soldier shook his head and said, "People are not big, but their temper is not small, let's go in." ”
"Hmph. ”
Ye Lin swaggered into the compound like this, now there is still a period of time before it gets dark, summer is like this, it gets dark late, if it is winter, it is estimated that they have already slept at this time.
"Knock knock. "When he came to Unit 201, Ye Lin knocked on the door.
A middle-aged man opened the door, saw a child standing in the doorway, and asked, "Whose child are you?
"I'm looking for Li Ting. ”
"Looking for Li Ting?"
"Yes, my name is Ye Lin. ”
"You're Ye Lin! Come in, come in. "Judging by the reaction of middle-aged people, they should know the name Ye Lin.
However, Ye Lin didn't go in, but handed over the prawns and fish he was mentioning and said, "A little heart, not respect." ”
Hearing Ye Lin say this, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, is this what a teenager said? The first thing that the middle-aged man thought of was taught by adults, and yes, Ye Lin's mother was a teacher.
"Alright, come in. ”
"Thank you, uncle. ”
After Ye Lin entered, the middle-aged man shouted inside, "Xiaoting, your classmate came to look for you." ”
"Dad, who's it?" Li Ting's voice came from inside.
It turned out that this middle-aged man was Li Ting's father, and also, this is Li Ting's home, at this time, how could there be other men in the family besides her father.
At this time, Li Ting had already seen Ye Lin, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Ye Lin, why are you here?"
"Didn't you promise to send you shrimp? I've been delayed for other things in the past few days, so I'll send it to you today, don't be surprised. ”
"No, how could it be! Thank you for remembering this. ”
At this time, Li Ting's mother also came out of the kitchen, saw Ye Lin, and said, "Xiaolin is here." ”
"Yes, Auntie. ”
"Sit down. ”
"Hmm. ”
Li Ting's father handed the fish and shrimp in his hand to Li Ting's mother and said, "This is sent by Xiaolin, you can put it aside." ”
Seeing the fish and shrimp in Li Ting's father's hand, Li Ting's mother said to Ye Lin: "Xiaolin, you are too polite, come here, and take something." ”
"Nothing, just two fish and some shrimp, which I didn't buy with money, I caught them myself. ”
"You caught it yourself! Okay, then I'll take it, have you eaten?"
"Auntie, I've already eaten. ”
Li Ting's family has also eaten, just now Li Ting's mother was cleaning up in the kitchen, the imperial capital, almost all of them eat at this time, unless there are special circumstances, otherwise they have basically eaten at this time.
"Ye Lin, where have you been these days? I have been looking for you several times, but you are not at home. ”
"Uh! I'm sorry, I don't know, I've been out these days. ”
It is estimated that when Li Ting went, there was no one at home, otherwise he would not have known that Li Ting had gone to him.
"That's okay, you'll have time to come to me another day. ”
"Hmm. ”
Ye Lin didn't stay at Li Ting's house for long, the first was that it was not early, and Ye Lin had other things to do, so after chatting with Li Ting for a while, he got up and said, "Li Ting, it's not early, I'm going back." ”
"Ahh
"Well, it's getting dark, and my mom should be worried if I don't go back. ”
"Oh well. ”
After talking to Li Ting, Ye Lin turned back to Li Ting's parents and said, "Uncle and aunt, I'll go back first, and come back to play another day." ”
"I'm not sitting in a meeting anymore. ”
"No, I'll talk about it another day. ”
"That's okay, let Xiaoting's father send you. ”
"No need Auntie, I know the way. ”
Although Ye Lin didn't let him send it, Li Ting's parents still sent Ye Lin outside, Ye Lin was too sensible, so Li Ting's parents liked it very much.
"Uncle and aunt stay. ”
"Okay, be careful on the road. ”
"Got it. ”
After leaving the compound where Li Ting's family lived, Ye Lin went back directly, but he didn't go home, but found Liu Wei outside the gate, and what Ye Lin was going to do next was related to Liu Wei.
"Two fools, come and play together. ”
Children in this era have no entertainment, a sandbag, men and women can play together, and play for a day, even in summer.
"No, come here, I'm looking for you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"You come over first. ”
"Okay, you wait for me. ”
Liu Wei said to his friends, let them play first, and followed Ye Lin away, and when he came to an alley, Ye Lin stopped.
"Second fool, tell me, what's the matter with calling me over?"
"How have you been doing this time?"
"It's good, I'll be able to share a rabbit in about three days. ”
"Yes!" Ye Lin's words were absolutely sincere, and he was really happy for Liu Wei.
Don't forget, how many people came to buy and change the clips this time, at least two hundred, two hundred, three days can get a rabbit, that is to say, a day can get sixty or seventy, it is estimated that it will not take long, the rabbits near the imperial capital are almost extinct.
But this is also good, less rabbits to harm the crops, you can also get more food, and you can also improve the food for everyone.
"Second fool, do you have any new tricks to catch rabbits?"
"Nope. Ye Lin shook his head and said, "I don't have a new trick to catch rabbits, but I have a new trick to make money, do you want to try it?"
Hearing about making money, Liu Wei's eyes lit up, although this guy is twelve or thirteen, the biggest money he has ever touched is only one piece, and it is only touched, as for spending money, it is estimated that he has not even spent five cents.
"Second fool, I heard you right, are you talking about making money?"
"Yes, make money, do you want to do it?"
"Why don't you do it, you say, how do you make it?"
Ye Lin made a clip to make money some time ago, he had seen it, and he was absolutely convinced of Ye Lin's words, since Ye Lin said that he could make money, he would definitely be able to make money, Ye Lin didn't know yet, and before he knew it, he actually had an admirer.
"Scavenging. ”
Ye Lin wants to carry forward the great cause of scavenging from this time, you must know that scavenging is a blank area at this time, and if it is done well, it will really make a lot of money.
Of course, Ye Lin is not just to make money, but mainly to find an excuse, even if his mother knows that he has made a lot of money in the future, he can tell her that it is because of the rags.
In addition, there are a lot of good things in this era, many of which have been sold as scrap, such as some ancient books, some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and what Ye Lin wants to do is very meaningful.
"Scavenging?"
"Yes. Ye Lin nodded.
"Forget it, it's not like I haven't done it before, and I can't make a few cents by picking up garbage for a day. ”
Liu Wei is right, they did do this before, in order to make some money to buy delicious food, and buy some firecrackers for fun during the Chinese New Year, but after a few days of work, no one will do it anymore, because it can't be sold for a few pennies a day.
It's better to climb over the wall and enter a factory, take something casually, and you can sell it for a dime or two, which is much better than scavenging.
In fact, they can't be blamed for this, the main reason is that they are too scattered, and they sell what they pick up on the same day, because there are too few, they don't collect them at the state-owned purchasing station, and they can only sell them to those who come out to collect scrap.
Those who collect waste, seeing that they are some children, just give them a cent and a half and send them away, so they feel that scavenging is not profitable.
But now it's different, Ye Lin is ready to collect it from them, accumulate a lot, and when he has more, he will pick out the valuable ones, and if they are not valuable, they will sell them to the state-owned acquisition station together.
"What if I say it will make you money?"
"How do you earn it?"
"In this way, as long as you listen to me, I guarantee that you will earn at least one or two cents a day, and if you are lucky, it is possible to earn five cents a piece. ”
"Really?"
Liu Wei didn't care about what Ye Lin said later, when he heard Ye Lin say that they could earn one or two cents a day, his eyes were already lit up, and he didn't dare to imagine earning one or two cents a day.
"Of course it's true, so be it, I'll give you a guarantee, as long as you're not sleeping, if you don't earn more than a dime a day, I'll make you a dime. ”
One dime a day, just kidding, as long as they pick it up well, two or three cents a day is no problem, don't forget where they are, near Tiananmen Square, I don't know how many people come from other places every day.
In this era, people who can come out to travel and play are rich people, and they just throw a soda bottle and pick it up for money.
"Okay, then you can do it. ”
"It's very simple, a person takes a woven bag, walks the streets, rummages through those garbage cans, picks up all kinds of books, newspapers, and paper shells, and comes back and sells them to me. ”
"Sell it to you, Ye Lin, that's rags, where are you going to put it?"
Everyone lives in the courtyard, can you put things in the courtyard, Liu Wei still doesn't know, although Ye Lin's family lives in the backyard, there are some places in the yard, but the place is not big, if it is broken, it is estimated that it will be full in a few days.
It doesn't matter, the important thing is that Teacher Li is a clean person, how could he let Ye Lin put the rags in the yard.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere. ”
Liu Wei followed Ye Lin and soon came to an alley, and at the end of the alley there was a door, the door was made of wood, and it seemed to be new, because the door was not even painted.
"Second fool, what are you bringing me here for?"
Ye Lin didn't speak, took out a key from his pocket, and opened a lock on the wooden door.
"Let's go inside. ”
This is a courtyard, Ye Lin stumbled upon this place two years ago, all the houses in the courtyard have collapsed, and even the courtyard wall has a gap here, and it is about to collapse.
I didn't even have a gate, I didn't think of it before, but now I need it.
