There is a saying in China that it is called 360 lines, and the line is the champion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

From such a sentence, it can be seen that social work in ancient times can be subdivided into at least 360 lines, and in modern times, it is even more.

There are also '360 lines' in the United States, and Li & Dus's warehousing and auctions, second-hand goods trading, and ore pick-up are all niche industries.

He likes to call his main warehousing and auction work a scrap picker, but it's just a self-deprecating name, and there are other scrap picking industries in the United States.

Junk masters are one such industry, a more niche one.

The United States is the most waste-producing country in the world, and garbage shopping is a mass industry, and homeless people everywhere and poor people in slums will do this work.

The garbage masters were originally derived from these people, and as the name suggests, they are the masters of picking up garbage, which can be found in major cities in the United States.

"They're generally offbeat collectors," Hans says, "and they look for things worth collecting from the garbage heaps and put them in their collections, many of them millionaires." ”

Li Du said: "Collectors? They pick up garbage for collection?"

Hans shrugged and said, "Otherwise, why call them 'masters'? Some people call them garbage artists, in short, they are different from ordinary garbage pickers." ”

These people will collect valuable things they find from the garbage heap, and 'valuable' is not the same as valuable, but often about the same as valuable.

Some of the garbage masters are old people, who reminisce about their youth, and will walk the streets and alleys to find things related to their youth from the garbage heaps, such as some old photos, such as some old furniture.

Some of the garbage masters are immigrants, and they collect things related to their hometown and culture, such as the Indian-German garbage masters, the Japanese-Japanese garbage masters, and the most Chinese garbage masters.

The garbage master apartment to be auctioned this time belongs to the latter, a rare Australian garbage master, the old man immigrated to Los Angeles more than 30 years ago, and increasingly missed his hometown, so he frantically collected things related to his hometown.

They don't have much money, they can't go to the grocery store, they can't buy it, they can't go to the auction to buy it, they mainly go to the garbage heap, the garbage can.

The official called them back because this garbage master is extraordinary, he lives in a villa area and owns a villa, and a garbage master of such a value often collects a lot of good goods.

Li Du stayed at home for a long time, he discussed with Hans and decided to return, because according to the itinerary, their first stop in the United States was Los Angeles, which happened to be on the way.

Li's father and mother learned that he was going back to the United States, and although they were reluctant, they did not stop him.

After all, Li Du came back to live for more than two months, and they don't miss him as much as they used to now, and he can understand him when he goes back to continue his studies and focus on his career.

Two days before parting, Li's father and Li's mother gave him a meal of big fish and meat, so that he could finally eat more hometown food.

Of course, in the end, Godzilla and Ooku were cheaper, how much could Li Du eat?

However, he took a lot of things from his hometown, such as meat sauce and egg sauce cooked by his mother, pickled vegetables and smoked sausages by his father, and various special seasonings.

He stored these things in the black hole space of the worm, a space of about one cubic meter, which can hide a lot of things.

In early March, when the weather in his hometown gradually warmed up, he said goodbye to his parents and boarded the bus to the provincial capital, flying from the provincial airport to Hong Kong and then to Los Angeles.

On the way, he learned about the garbage masters in the United States, there are not many people in this industry, but they are all very individual, so they are very famous.

One of America's most famous garbage gurus is Vince Pluto, who lives in Austin, Texas, and makes a cathedral out of trash.

Vince Pluto was originally a pastor who was a missionary in Spain as a young man, but for health reasons, he left the church and returned to his native state of Texas.

About two decades ago, when Austin's economy was sluggish, many young people left the city, leaving behind a lot of garbage, and the government appealed to citizens to fix it.

Inspired by this municipal waste, Pluto came up with the idea of building a church using municipal waste, relying on the model of a church he had seen as a missionary as a young man and the architecture books he had read boringly during his illness.

After that, he began a trail of garbage collection for more than ten years.

During this time, Pluto collected a large amount of garbage useful for the construction of the church, sorted and numbered it, and about ten years ago, he began to work on it, and finished it in one fell swoop.

Li Du read the introduction of the Pluto garbage church, he used empty gasoline cans to pour cement as the foundation of the church's stone pillars, recycled iron sheets and old cardboard boxes as auxiliary building materials, and decorated the church with a large number of stained glass sheets, the construction is beautiful.

The name of the garbage master who has something to auction this time is Victer, and no one remembers his surname, and the neighbors in the villa area call him 'Stubborn Victer'.

This old man has been in Los Angeles for more than 30 years, he immigrated with his uncle, who was still in the prime of life when he first arrived, and his uncle was his only relative.

His uncle later died, leaving him with a large inheritance, including this villa next to the Los Angeles Botanical Garden.

Wickster misses Australia in particular, but for some reason, he doesn't go back, stays in Los Angeles, and then increases his sense of belonging by finding trash related to his hometown.

Collecting garbage in a high-end villa area is obviously something that other residents cannot tolerate, after all, this is a high-end residential area.

So, first the neighbors came to negotiate, but Vicster ignored it, then the neighbors complained to the property company, Victer didn't care, and finally they reported it to the police station, but Victer still didn't cooperate.

In this way, he got the nickname 'Stubborn Victer'.

After thirty years of stubborn collecting, Victer collected a lot of things and stored them in his villa, turning a large villa into a 'big garbage dump'.

Not long ago, Wickster died in his sleep, and according to his will, his villa and the things he had collected for many years were donated to a charity in the United States that aims to help Australian immigrants - Good Australians.

The kind-hearted Australians decided to auction off the contents of the villa and then sell the house.

After they entered the villa and looked at it, they found that the collection was not a work of art or other valuable goods, most of them were domestic garbage, and the value was not very large.

At the suggestion of a professional organization, they decided to take the old house auction method and auction off the things in each room of this villa.

However, their auction method is slightly different from the old house auction, that is, the auction is carried out on a room-by-room basis.
