Chapter 9: Aunt Qiao's Homework
When he arrived in the suburbs, Xu Ran ordered three boxes of fruit, a whole sheep, ten chickens, and twenty catties of beef from a nearby department store and entrusted the shopkeeper to send them to the orphanage and hand them over to Grandma Yalin to receive.
After sending her sister to the door of the house, Xu Ran asked her to take all her things back to the house, and then came to Uncle He's grain and oil store to pay the rent owed.
Back at the warehouse, a small three-wheeler stopped at the door, and Aunt Qiao, who was sitting in the shade to rest in the shade, turned over and got up.
Aunt Qiao's family is in Linhu Town, seven kilometers away from the suburbs, and she often looks dark-skinned when she does farm work under the scorching sun, and her body is relatively stout.
"Xiao Ran, you're back, my aunt has been waiting for you for a while!"
Although Aunt Qiao is a peasant woman, she is more able to speak, do things, and do things, so that her part-time job has always changed with the seasons.
In winter, she is a matchmaker and an intermediary, and when the farm is busy, she is an agent of seeds and agricultural equipment, and her family has opened a grocery store in the town, selling everything, and likes to collect some old goods at a low price in the city to Xu Ran to renovate them, and then bring them back to sell them to the majority of farmers at affordable and affordable prices.
During this period, as an information officer hired by Xu Ran, the amount of effective information that this Aunt Qiao can provide is also very large, that is, how many bricks and how much cement is used to repair the toilet, who wants to change furniture or household appliances, even if it is a noodle pin or a small paparazzi, she can inquire clearly.
"Aunt Qiao, let's eat an apple first, I just bought it!"
Xu Ran took an apple to Aunt Qiao and said, "You can call me directly if you have something, why wait here?"
Aunt Qiao took the apple, and saw that it was a very expensive variety, and she was a little reluctant to eat it, so she put it in her bag, and took out a homework book from her bag.
Xu Ran took the homework book and flipped through it casually, and saw that it was full of supply and demand information that Aunt Qiao had recently collected.
It's just the most eye-catching place, Aunt Qiao wrote in red pen that there are four iron bumps in Liugouzi's house and they want to sell.
Seeing this, Xu Ran was a little crying and laughing, and said, "Aunt Qiao, it's just a few iron bumps, why do you still use a red pen to mark it?"
Aunt Qiao said: "Xiao Ran, this is not an ordinary iron lump, although the rust is very strong, but there are some carved patterns on it, it seems to be an old thing, it is estimated that the six dogs are dug out of his house, yesterday the six dogs looked for me privately, when the baby showed me a few times, let me help him find a buyer, I thought of you first, I also took a photo with my mobile phone, you look at ......"
As she spoke, Aunt Qiao took out her mobile phone and flipped out the photo to Xu Ran.
Xu Ran glanced at the iron bumps a few times, and couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself What happened today, Lao Li brought him a broken bowl early in the morning, and this afternoon Aunt Qiao gave him a bronze that was rusted very badly after being corroded and oxidized.
Xu Ran didn't look at the photo much, but said: "Aunt Qiao, this is bronze, it is indeed an old thing, it should have been discarded somewhere at will before, and it was completely rusty, I am afraid that even if someone collects it on the market, it is not worth much price!"
"I'll just say, in fact, the six dogs came to me with something, and I guessed if the grandson wanted to use that thing to rub the heat, and now it seems that this is really the case, if it is really a good thing, he has already sold it, and he still needs to ask me for help?"
Xu Ran forwarded the photo to his mobile phone, returned the mobile phone to Aunt Qiao, and wondered: "Aunt Qiao, what kind of heat do you say he rubbed?"
"You don't know this?"
Aunt Qiao looked at Xu Ran in surprise and said, "This morning the news reported an incident, yesterday there was a sandstorm and an ancient tomb was opened in Shahaigouzi, and after being discovered by the locals, someone ran to rob the objects inside, but was intercepted by the local police."
Later, experts arrived and said that the things in the ancient tomb were very archaeological, and some photos circulated on the Internet, and many people said that the things inside were very valuable, so Liugouzi probably also saw the news on the Internet, and then dug out the iron lump and wanted to take advantage of this heat to get a good price to sell it......"
Hearing these causes and consequences, Xu Ran was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that even the current farmers were more focused on obtaining real-time news and information than him.
"Then let's go to the town another day when I'm free, and if he sells it to an antique dealer, you can tell me too, so as not to run in vain!"
"Done!"
Saying that, Aunt Qiao said embarrassedly: "Xiao Ran, isn't this the end of the month, look ......?"
Hearing this, how could Xu Ran not understand what she meant, Aunt Qiao came here to hand in her homework and receive her salary, and she smiled and took out eight hundred yuan from her pocket and gave it to her.
"Xiao Ran, have you given me a salary increase?"
Aunt Qiao counted it and found that Xu Ran gave her eight hundred, which was a little surprised.
Xu Ran shook his head: "Aunt Qiao, didn't I tell you, five hundred is the basic salary, and in the supply and demand information you helped me provide this month, I have developed three repeat customers who often visit my store, so three hundred is a bonus for you......"
"Cheng, then thank you!"
Aunt Qiao's face turned into a flower with a smile, very happy.
Xu Ran still had something to do, so he didn't chat with this chatty aunt, and after sending her away, he went into the warehouse.
didn't rush to do anything, Xu Ran turned on the computer, browsed the web news, and soon saw the news related to the discovery of the ancient tomb in Shahaigouzi, as well as the comments of many netizens.
A picture in the news caught Xu Ran's attention, that is, there were four inconspicuous Xi Zhen in a pile of antique relics.
Then Xu Ran opened the photos of the iron bumps that Aunt Qiao took and compared them with the pictures on the Internet, and found that the four so-called iron bumps that the six dogs wanted to sell were really bronze Xizhen.
Thinking that the six dogs should have read the news on the Internet and the photo, they wanted to take advantage of this heat, and wanted to sell the four corroded and rusty iron bumps on his hands for a good price.
After watching this news, he also had a score in his heart, and Xu Ran didn't pay attention to it.
Even if he wanted to collect the four Xi Zhen, it was estimated that the six dogs would take the tattered as a treasure and take the opportunity to ask for a price, and cool him for a while.
Last night, after experimenting with a few experimental items that were brought into the mysterious space debris city for seven or eight hours, and then brought back by him, Xu Ran had already learned some of the characteristics of the mysterious space.
In the process of entering and exiting, energy will be consumed, but the space will also absorb water for conversion to offset part of it, so that the energy storage of Xu Ran's mysterious metal block will be saved.
What is just brought into space from the earth and brought out after a period of time is only used for renovation, and there is no change in the molecular structure of the material.
However, just this function is several times better than the effect of Xu Ran's renovation by professional means, and it is the same as brand new.
In the past, Xu Ran needed to renovate those old goods, and needed to purchase some raw materials to prepare chemical reagents, which required a certain cost.
However, if you directly bring those old goods into the fragmented city and put them for a day and then get them back, it can also have the effect of renovation, which not only saves time and worry, but also costs less.
After reading the news just now, Xu Ran had a new idea.
The broken bowl that Lao Li brought this morning has too many cracks, and it is difficult to repair, and professionals may not be able to fix it.
But it is indeed an antique, Xu Ran plans to bring that bowl into the space and put it for a while to see if it will be automatically repaired and restored to its original state when the bowl is brought back again.
If it can really be repaired and restored to its original state, then Xu Ran will add another way to make money in the future.
