Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 80 Selling Copper
Sheng Xiping also scanned the prices of other things, and suddenly found that the prices of medicinal materials such as Gastrodia elata, Fritillaria, Asarum, etc., are higher at the purchasing station here than at the forest farm.

It's normal to think about it. People from the forest farm will come down for two days before they can go back.

Food and lodging are all expenses in the middle, if it is just to sell Gastrodia elata, it is really not worthwhile.

And the purchase station of the forest farm is busy, why can't it make some money from it?

"Comrade, please weigh these coppers." Sheng Xiping handed over the broken coppers he had brought, and let the salesperson weigh them.

Although the salesperson's attitude is not good, but the action is not slow.

I took the scrap copper and looked at it carefully, and it was quite clean.

"Where did you get these coppers?" the salesperson asked casually. "It wasn't stolen, was it?"

"No, no, we are from a forest farm, and the school calls on the children to pick up scrap iron, as long as iron is not copper.

The children knocked off the copper parts from the scrap iron and saved them. "

It was reasonable for people to ask this question, and Sheng Xiping naturally had nothing to worry about, as he told the truth.

The other party was just going through the process of asking, and Sheng Xiping's answer was reasonable, so he ignored it.

So I got the scale and went through it again, and yelled at the other side.

The other person just wrote down what and how many catties in the ledger, and then made calculations after a crackling meal, and calculated the price.

After finishing the calculation, they wrote a note to Sheng Xiping, and Sheng Xiping went to another place to withdraw the money with the note.

A total of four catties of brass, two and a half catties of copper, 62 yuan.

"It's really a lot, I didn't expect the price of copper to be so high.

I also have three or four catties of broken copper at home, and I will sell it along the way when I wait for it to come down again. "

After leaving the buying station, Wang Jianshe couldn't help talking.

In fact, life in the forest area is very closed. Many people may have lived in the forest area for decades, and the number of times they have come out is only a handful.

The forest farm purchase station does not accept scrap copper and iron, and usually no one will inquire about it when they come to Songjianghe.

Therefore, it is normal not to know that the price of copper is high.

"Well, you can just sell it, and don't tell your younger siblings how much it is.

Otherwise, just those brats from each family, I'm afraid they can run to steal copper. "

It's not very likely, it's certain.

As for those brats in the forest farm, all of them are very bold, let them know that copper is so valuable, and if they have that brat in custody, they dare to go to the farm to steal copper.

This kind of thing should be avoided as much as possible.

When Wang Jianshe heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise, and just wanted to say no, right?

But in his mind, he remembered that a while ago, the school asked him to hand over the scrap iron, and his brother went to remove the spikes on the railway embankment.

When the school asks to hand in tasks, at most it only gives a verbal praise, and these kids can think about iron everywhere like crazy.

If you know that copper is valuable, you may not be able to do anything.

This is not a joke, once it is caught by the court, it will be easy to lose face, and the work of the parents may also be implicated.

"Yes, yes, you should be careful. There is nothing they dare not do with these bears."

Wang Jianshe came to his senses and nodded.

"Don't talk about others, we did that when we were young, it's the same."

Sheng Xiping smiled.Who didn't shop when they were young?It's all from that time.

These days, it's not easy for adults to earn money, and they want to spend a penny in two, let alone in the hands of children, who can't even see the shadow of money.

Anyone who knows a little way to make money, who doesn't sharpen his head and go digging for money?

Otherwise, why did Sheng Xiping jump up and down the mountain with his master to hunt?
Isn't that because hunting not only has meat to eat, but also money to earn?
All kinds of animal fur, bear bile, deer antler, musk, which one is not money?
There are many young men of the same age in Qianchuan Forest Farm, why can Sheng Xiping become the leader of these people?

Isn't it because he is capable, and occasionally he can make some delicious food for everyone?

Wang Jianshe thought about it, and immediately smiled.

The two talked and laughed and returned to the railway, and the others came over to inquire about the price of the broken copper.

Sheng Xiping didn't hide the price, but he also told them what he said just now.

When those people heard it, they nodded, "Well, it does make sense."

Boys, you can go up and down the river to be mischievous, but you must never steal chickens and dogs, this is a matter of principle.

While talking and laughing, the car drove back from a distance, and everyone had a rest, so they all stood up and started working.

There are a total of ten people on both sides, and the work is naturally fast. After a while, the firewood on the trolley was cleaned up and all were loaded on the car.

Sheng Xiping and the others climbed onto the car, and put chainsaws, oil drums and other things on top of the car.

Then the driver drove, pulled a car of firewood and people, and walked back.

Zhou Mingyuan's family lived in the area of ​​Baishan Street. When Zhou Mingyuan and Wang Chunxiu were transferred here, the unit rented a house for them.

The three-room courtyard is not big, with an alley to the east and a mountain to the west.

There is nothing in the yard, there are firewood sheds on both sides of the gate, and a barn is built on the east end with garden sticks.

There is an east-west ditch in the middle of the courtyard, mainly to prevent the heavy rain in summer and the deep water to soak the house.

Of course, when doing laundry or something, you just pour water into the ditch.It happened that the water flowed eastward into the ditch outside the yard.

The alleys in the family's residential area are not wide enough for a car to enter, but it is inconvenient to unload firewood.

Therefore, the firewood can only be unloaded at the entrance of the alley, and then slowly dumped in it.

Sheng Xiping saw that the first load of firewood was unloaded, and it was already a huge pile. If another load was unloaded, there would be nowhere to put it.

And it will also block the alley, so that others can't leave.

"Brothers, let's go down first, use the chainsaw to directly saw the car just now and turn it upside down, to make room for a little bit, and then unload the car."

Seeing this, Sheng Xiping hurriedly jumped out of the car and arranged for someone to clean up first.

"Yes, yes, let's use a chainsaw to cut these out first."

Wang Jianshe and others also jumped out of the car, and without a word, started the chain saw and started sawing firewood.

These people have been working in the forest farm for two or three years. In fact, they have done many types of work, and they can do any job.

So Wang Jianshe and Sheng Xiping started sawing firewood with a chainsaw, and some others took the sawn pieces of wood to the gate of Zhou's house.

Some people picked out good wood from these firewood and carried it directly to Zhou's yard.

There are a lot of good wood in these corrugated bases, and they may be used when they live at home, but they can't all be used as firewood saws, that would be a pity.

After all, there are many people and strength, and the chain saw works quickly. It didn't take long, and most of the huge pile of firewood on the ground was cleaned up.

At this time, Gao Haining and the others climbed into the car and began to unload wood.

"Xiping, you all stay away, and be careful not to hit it."

Before going to work, I didn't forget to tell the people below to dodge a little bit.
