Chapter 48: Ideas
In the distance, you can see the mountains of thrift goods in the thrift market.
There are waste products in it, and there are things that can be recycled, all of which are piled up in a haphazard manner.
Song Xi and Zhou Yi glanced at each other, and then walked towards the old man, "Uncle, can we go in and have a look?" ”
"Let's go in, just don't touch things, just pick up what you need and take it out and weigh it to check out." The old man waved his hand casually.
A lot of things in it can be used, so he also wants someone to buy it so that it doesn't go to waste.
And he has been working here, and when people are not paying attention, he has quietly hidden a lot of good things.
Looking at the things that can be used in the wind and sun, he is really distressed!
"Thank you, uncle." Song Xi grabbed a handful of White Rabbit toffee, put it on the table in front of the old man, and walked inside with Zhou Yi.
The thrift market actually has a bad name - garbage dump.
Therefore, the smell inside is not good, there are more mosquitoes and flies, and as soon as people enter, they can hear the buzzing of mosquitoes and flies.
As soon as you enter the gate, you can see that the whole yard is full of messy things, which is more complete than the things of the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are all kinds of shabby furniture, pots and pans, bottles and jars, clothes and shoes......
Rural people are reluctant to make a new dress all year round, and it is all patched and patched old clothes.
As a result, the thrift market has piled up so many clothes that are not patched in the new one, and there are really a lot of rich people in this city.
Looking at the old clothes piled up, Song Xi was a little distressed, and endured the unpleasant smell and reached out to rummage inside.
Zhou Yi grabbed Song Xi's hand at once, his eyes full of distress, "Daughter-in-law, we don't pick up other people's old clothes to wear, I'll buy you new clothes to wear." ”
The daughter-in-law must have had a hard time before, but with him in the future, he will never let her wear clothes with a patch anymore.
"I'm not going to wear it, I have other uses, you go and help me pick out the wine bottles and cans with lids, I have other uses."
Zhou Yi's intentions, Song Xi was very moved, but Zhou Yi was here to affect her performance, so she sent Zhou Yi aside.
In fact, most of the clothes here can be worn after disinfection and washing.
Some of the fabrics are really good, but the people in this city are rich and love beauty, and they don't want to wear a piece of clothing after wearing it for a while, so they throw it away.
In modern times, she changes clothes very quickly, and sometimes she buys a new dress and comes back to take photos.
However, she did not throw it away like this, but sold it on a second-hand website.
Although she has money, she will not waste it like this.
Song Xi really wanted to pocket all these old clothes, but it was inconvenient to have Zhou Yi here.
I can't pay for it and put it in the supermarket, and the two of them can't bring back so many clothes.
It seems that she can only wait for next time, the next time she comes alone, she will take away all these old clothes that still have use value and recycle.
Besides, some garbage, which is originally misplaced resources, is itself recyclable.
In the end, Song Xi picked out ten tops, ten pairs of pants, and ten pairs of shoes, both adults and children.
She first put her clothes and shoes at the old man's place, and then went to Zhou Yi to pick up glass bottles.
A total of thirty good wine bottles and seven canned bottles were selected.
In fact, the canned bottles can be taken to the supply and marketing cooperatives for money, but no one seems to care about the pennies, so they just throw the bottles away.
Song Xi and Zhou Yi took the things to the old man to settle the bill.
The old man took a brief look, charged five cents, and let them go.
Song Xi was very happy, and after thanking the old man, he put the things in the back basket with Zhou Yi.
The prices in the thrift market are really exciting, and a dress of more than ten yuan only costs two cents here.
A glass bottle of a few cents is only a penny here.
For Song Xi, this price is really like picking up money.
In the modern era of abundance and prosperity, there are people who do the business of used clothes, so why can't she do it?
Besides, she doesn't really make money from these old clothes, she just wants to be a porter of old clothes, so that old clothes can be used reasonably!
Thinking of this, Song Xi suddenly felt as if he had something to do!
There was still a long time before the ox cart returned, so the two went to the supply and marketing cooperatives and bought some things that didn't require tickets.
For example, Jiang rice noodles, fruit candy, and other things, Song Xi didn't buy them.
She mainly looked at the things in the supply and marketing cooperatives to see if there were similar ones in the supermarket.
If you have one, you can pick up something similar from the supermarket in the future.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two got on the ox cart on the return trip.
It wasn't until seven o'clock that I arrived at Ping'an Village.
Walking on the wooden bridge over the stream, Song Xi saw Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua standing under the peach tree in front of the house next door.
The two children were relieved to see her return.
After all, Song Xi is their 'gold owner', and if there is no Song Xi, they don't know who to sell the snails and mussels they picked up.
It seems that Song Xi went out today to sell their snails and mussels.
Thinking of this, the two children were very grateful to Song Xi.
If it weren't for Song Xi, they wouldn't know what kind of life they would live!
Song Xi shook his head at them and told them not to come yet.
After all, she didn't want Zhou Yi to know that she was buying snails and mussels.
The two children were not stupid, they glanced at Zhou Yi beside Song Xi, and then turned around and went home.
Back home, Song Xi collapsed on the chair, it was really hard to ride the ox cart.
It's a pity that you can only take an ox cart from Ping'an Village, or you can walk.
In those days, there were no bicycles in the countryside, and bicycles were equivalent to Mercedes-Benz BMWs.
If someone buys a bicycle, the whole village is boiling.
Song Xi rested for a while, then took out the old clothes and wine bottles, canned food bottles, and put them in the corner under the eaves.
I'm going to deal with it when I have time, but I don't have the energy to deal with it today.
Song Xi took out half of the Jiang rice noodles, wrapped them, and saw that Zhou Yi was busy, so he said, "Brother Yi, didn't Aunt Li next door send us eggs before?" I want to give her some rice noodles as a thank you gift. ”
"Daughter-in-law, go ahead!" Zhou Yi glanced back at Song Xi.
Because Aunt Li's family is not bad, and he lives next door a few meters away, he is willing to let Song Xi communicate with Aunt Li's family.
The two of them are a young couple, and there are still many things they don't understand, and it is inevitable that there will be moments when they ask for Aunt Li in the future.
Song Xi went out with half a catty of Jiang rice noodles and went to the next door a few meters away.
The courtyard door of Aunt Li's house was still open, but there was no one in the courtyard.
Song Xi didn't go in directly, but reached out and knocked on the wooden door.
The knock on the door startled the people in the house, and soon Aunt Li came out, and when she saw that it was Song Xi, her face was happy, "Xiaoxi, why are you here?" Have you eaten dinner? ”
