Chapter 34: Something Less Simple
There was a person in the office sitting lazily reading the newspaper, Wan Feng came in, he only raised his eyes and glanced at Wan Feng, and didn't even say a word.
"Uncle, do you collect broken glass here?"
The man arched his head behind the newspaper, and this time he didn't even show his face.
Probably he thought that Wan Feng was the child of this tunzi who came here to play.
Wan Feng threw the butterfly flowers he had bought for a dime in the Heshe in front of him.
He saw that the other man still had dry tobacco in his mouth.
The newspaper in the man's hand was tossed aside, his eyes lit up as he swept over the box of cigarettes, and the smile on his face popped up little by little like a small seedling unearthed.
"What did you just ask, kid?"
The saying that money can make ghosts grind is a wise saying.
"Let me ask if your factory collects broken glass?"
The man looked at Wan Feng in surprise: "You want to sell broken glass? ”
"I'll ask the price first. ”
"Three pounds and two cents. ”
Three catties and two cents, each catty is more than six cents, this price is not low.
Broken glass has no use value at all, not to mention that broken glass is the whole wine bottle, canned and bottled in the countryside, but it is all over the place.
If there is no such glass factory here, these broken glass will be of no use at all in the countryside, except for the Cuitun Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the supply and marketing cooperatives in other places do not collect waste now.
As for the price, it was already very good at the time.
Wan Feng still clearly remembers that in the autumn of 83, after he returned to Longjiang, the Shenwu County Acquisition Station only gave a penny and a pound to their company to collect scrap iron.
"Can I just come to you and sell broken glass?"
Looking at the face of a box of cigarettes, the man's attitude was very good: "I'm in charge of the acquisition, it's no problem for you to sell it, but if it's less, it's boring." ”
"Then if I get a large batch, will you also accept it?"
"Can you get a large batch?"
"I don't know if I can't get it if I don't try. Wan Feng replied confidently.
"Haha, you're a very interesting little guy, I'll get as much as you can. ”
"I won't come if I don't give cash. ”
That person didn't take it seriously, how many can you have as a child: "Guarantee a handful of clicks, not in arrears." ”
Wan Feng felt relieved this time, he felt that his first pot of gold was coming.
Walking to the door, Wan Fengyou turned back: "I don't know how long your factory can be open?"
Because he will return to Longjiang next winter, Wan Feng really doesn't know how long this factory has been open.
"This depends on the benefits, and it's not bad for the time being. ”
Leaving the wire drawing factory and returning to her house with Xiaohui, the conversation between the aunt and her sisters was completed.
On the way back to the depression, what Wan Feng paid the most attention to was the rags in the ditches and ditches on the roadside, mainly related to glass.
As he walked, his heart was full of joy, and these glass slags could be seen everywhere on the edge of the ditch field, which showed that his plan was not short of supplies at all.
When he got home, he began to set up, of course, starting with the Wago team, and then going to the back of the Waqian Mountain, radiating around with dots.
His method is very simple, if he has collected enough three catties of broken glass, he can change it to a villain book to read, or exchange it for a penny.
The wire drawing factory collected 6 centimeters and 61 catties, and Wan Feng gave them 3 centimeters and 31 catties, and he also made double the profit.
When the children in the village learned that three catties of worthless broken glass could be exchanged for a villain book or sold for a penny, everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized, and for a time all the half-grown children appeared on the edge of the field, on the top of the mountain, and on the side of the ditch, looking for those things that glittered in the sun.
In just a few days, the children of the entire Jiangwei Brigade knew about this incident, and even the Huang Hui Brigade of the Black Reef Commune and the Dapuzi Brigade of the Xiaogushan Commune, which were connected to the Jiangwei Brigade, also knew the news.
Anyway, all the places where glass can be found are children, what Wan Feng didn't expect was that in the end, even some adults joined in the search for broken glass, after all, three catties can be sold for a penny, which is also a very tempting income for a rural area with only a few cents.
Wan Feng set up a point at his grandmother's house and Xu Bin's house, and basically bought these broken glass at these two points after school.
When the villain book can't be turned, he gives them cash, and he buys a lot of broken glass in more than ten days.
Wan Feng put the ledger together and found that he had purchased more than 2,000 catties of broken glass, and he thought it was necessary for him to go to the wire drawing factory to sell it once.
Today is Sunday, the sun is shining in the sky, and it is a good day for the flowers to smile at Wan Feng.
In the morning, Wan Feng went to the wire drawing factory, and after confirming that the acquired guy was in the factory, he ran back non-stop and found Zhang Hai, the leader of the Wahou team.
"Uncle Zhang Hai, I'm going to hire a team to get into a carriage today, do you think it's okay?" When he said this, a box of handshake cigarettes was put into Zhang Hai's pocket by Wan Feng.
"Hire a carriage, what is the little cock doing with a carriage, pull a daughter-in-law?"
At that time, the general means of transportation for marrying a daughter-in-law was a horse-drawn carriage, a walk-behind tractor at a higher level, and a bicycle at a higher level.
Wan Feng smiled: "I'm still young when I marry a daughter-in-law, and I don't have a master." ”
Zhang Hai stretched out his hand and patted Wan Feng's head: "Then what do you want the carriage for?"
"I have some broken glass to send to Cui Tun, I'll give money, how about a trip to give a dollar? ”
From Wahou to Cuitun, it was only three or four miles at best, and the freight cost of one dollar in 80 years was quite a lot.
Zhang Hai agreed after a little thought, anyway, the big cart was not nervous now, so he sent a two-horse cart with a plate chain to load a big cart.
The owner of the car was Liang Wan.
Of course, Yan Wanfeng is still not stingy with a dime, don't underestimate that this dime is enough to worry about them.
The two of them sat in the carriage on the left and the right, and talked about it while hurrying, and soon arrived at the wire drawing factory to unload the car.
Now Wan Feng already knows that the person who was purchased by the wire drawing factory is called Song Yuancheng, and his family lives in Liu Tun, which is next to the village of Wohutun and Wohutun of the Jiangwei Brigade across a three-meter-wide river ditch.
The worthless handshake cigarette naturally went into his pocket.
Song Yuancheng expressed his surprise that Wan Feng was able to get the broken glass of a large carriage.
"Little one, I can't see it, where did you get so much broken glass?"
"It's a good harvest, my family doesn't produce this thing. ”
Song Yuancheng took a good look at Wan Feng and said to himself: "Your little cock is not simple." ”
What's not easy to collect some broken glass, and I'll do even more things in the future.
