Chapter 22: The Beginning
Tarzan collapsed in front of him, and he didn't show his face, and if he could do this, when he talked about business, he would take advantage of it.
"Well, forget it, one hundred and eight is one hundred and eighteen. ”
Wu Dashun knew that if the car was put down, the price would be lower, and since someone offered one hundred and eighteen, then sell it.
"It's money, you count. Guo Qu still handed over the money expressionlessly, and then pushed the cart away, and the moment he turned around, a smile appeared on his face, and then he forced himself to lose his smile.
One hundred and eight bought a human-powered tricycle that could still be used, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.
The smile just now still made the old man see it, and asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"
"Oh, no, I ......"
"Oh. The old man had a smile on his face, he was getting more and more incomprehensible about this grandson, but he would be in charge, so it would be good.
"Xiao Ming, now that you have money, why don't you go to school?"
Guo went to pause, he knew that the old man would say it sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so early.
He couldn't say that he didn't want to study, and he couldn't say that he wanted to study, so he had to treat it coldly and treat it as if he didn't hear it.
Seeing that Guo Qu didn't speak, the old man sighed and changed the topic, "Where is the car?"
"Let it go...... Dad's place, stop by to see him, I haven't seen him in a long time. ”
Riding a car, it was only two or three hundred meters away, and I arrived at the place where Guo Qu's father lived.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Guo Qu frowned, and a strong smell of wine entered his nose.
Although I live on the street, it is also a wooden house, and it should be said that at this time, on the street, including the government, there are few brick houses at all.
When I entered the house, I saw a sofa placed against the wall, which was made of bamboo, and it was very cool to lie on it in summer. The one lying drunk on the sofa was Guo Qu's father.
When I walked in, I got used to the darkness in the room, and then I saw that the paint on the sofa was gone, and even the narrow wooden planks on the side of the sofa were polished smooth and shiny.
Guo Qu's father was still asleep, apparently drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have been lying on the bed after someone entered the house, not knowing anything.
Seeing this, the old man was short of breath, and finally snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the house.
Guo went to see this, there was no way, the car was definitely not safe to put here, and he was going to put the waste he received in this wooden house, but at this moment, he decided to rent another room.
Exited the door, closed the door, rode on the manpower tricycle, and walked to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperatives are brick houses, but they have long lost their original functions, and the house has begun to be rented out, and there is a large open space in it, which he plans to rent with the house.
One room and an open space are completely enough for him to store the scrap he has acquired, and the price is also very low, only two hundred yuan a year.
From today to now, he took out three hundred and eighty yuan, and the old man was very distressed, urging Guo to go home, and then bring the sheets and quilts.
The meal is still at home in the village, but at night it is necessary to take a person to sleep in the supply and marketing cooperative, in case someone steals.
When he was hungry, he went to the noodle restaurant on the street to eat a bowl of noodles, and the old man was not used to eating, so he ate 10,000 porridge.
After everything was done, it was one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time many people began to go home because the sun was too strong.
Guo Qu naturally has to go home, because when the people who rushed to the scene go home, then his business will come.
Three packs of ice packs are the norm, and the girl is very happy, perhaps in her heart, she desperately wants to go to the street every day, so that there are ice packs to eat every day.
When I got home, it was half past two, which was the hottest time of the day, and everyone was at home at this time, so it was the right time for Guo to collect waste.
Carrying a back pocket, there is a girl in the back pocket, and next to him is the old man, who is also carrying a back pocket, holding a scale in one hand and a half-meter-long smoking gun in the other.
The girl stood in her back pocket and looked very happy, and from time to time she was so excited that she kicked her legs, which was bitter Guo Qu.
First from the village to put away, door to door, most of the village people's homes, the book is only seven or eight catties, and it is a yellowed book, that is the children of the old people in the family, the textbooks when they used to go to school.
It's much better to go to the village to collect scrap than to wait on the street for someone else to sell it. Many people are reluctant to sell in the first place, not to mention that they have to carry several miles of mountain roads, so naturally there is a lot of inventory at home.
After collecting the village, to sum up, there are a lot of scrap iron, basically every household has more than ten catties, either umbrella bones, or hoes, or sickles and the like, few people sell broken stoves, even if they are broken can no longer be used, few people sell.
As for aluminum, it is basically an aluminum pot, which is an aluminum pot that is placed on the stove to stew bones mixed with radish, this kind of pot, because it is used to stew bones, usually put seasonings directly into the pot, so it will not take many years, and it will be perforated.
In addition to Guo Qujia, there are 56 households in the whole village, five or six are unwilling to sell anything, and two are sold broken stoves.
In fact, selling a stove pot is worth a lot of money, and a stove pot costs more than 30 catties, which is 20 or 30 yuan.
It's a pity that people don't sell it, and Guo has no choice.
In the end, 610 catties of scrap iron were received, and on average, each household was about 10 catties, which was still because no one had taken the scrap at home to sell, and it had accumulated for a long time.
More than 600 catties, a total of 430 yuan was paid. Originally, the expenditure should be 427 yuan, but the extra expenditure was 3 yuan, and that was because it was because of the small advantage of others.
Here's an example.
Scrap iron for a village people, weighing is actually fifteen catties flat, that is, the scale reaches the position of fifteen catties, but the scale rod is just horizontal, or even slightly low, at this time can only be counted as fifteen catties for others, otherwise others will feel that they will suffer, and they will not sell.
For another example, sometimes it is just twenty-one pounds, according to seven cents a pound, that is fourteen yuan and seven yuan, a difference of three cents and fifteen yuan, and the villagers will definitely say, "Oh, give fifteen yuan, only three cents more, this is more than 20 catties of iron."
Doesn't Guo Qu give it? This kind of money must be given, there is not much money, and he can't lose much money, but it can make people comfortable and make them feel that they have earned. In this way, the scrap will be sold to him again in the future.
The old book has 270 catties, and the expenditure is 109 yuan, and the extra dollar is also a little cheaper.
As for aluminum, there are very few, and I received three aluminum pots, which add up to more than six catties and five yuan.
So this afternoon alone, the money was taken out of five hundred and forty-two yuan, so calculated, his money can't support a few times, and he may not even be able to carry it tomorrow.
That is, the scrap he took with his money was not enough to fill a minivan!
You have to find a way to borrow some money, because as long as the car goes to Qixing County, even if the scrap is not enough to load a car, it will be the same fare.
After collecting the village, Guo Qu temporarily stopped the progress and carried the waste to the supply and marketing cooperatives on the street with the old man.
Nearly 1,000 catties of waste, the two of them had to run ten times to finish moving, and after moving, Guo went to buy a well-off cigarette on the street.
