Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 20 Treasure Hunt in the Old Warehouse

"Yuan Sheng! What did you bring back? Where is your bicycle?"

Wu Yuansheng rode a tricycle and passed by the door of a small tofu-making workshop. Old Uncle Zhou saw him and asked him.

"Didn't I quit my job as a security guard? I sold my bicycle and added money to replace it with this tricycle. I'm going to do the same as Hei Lei and give it a try first!"

He did not say that the bicycle was taken away by security captain Cao Zhengang.

"I really quit! It's okay to quit! Although recycling is not as good as the craft, it has a better future than being a security guard."

"Yes! I'm going to put things away, and I have to go out to collect them later, so let's not talk about it for now!" After he finished speaking, he rode his bike to the door of the rented house.

Opening the door, he took everything on the tricycle into the house.

At this time, Hei Lei and the person who collected the dogs were not at home either. They had either gone out after lunch, or they had eaten out at noon and did not come back.

After unloading the things on the car, Wu Yuansheng locked the door and rode his tricycle to the demolition area again.

He planned to continue to sweep away valuable things from the houses of other demolished households that had been moved along the long alley.

Diagonally opposite the household where he was looking for something just now, about 30 meters away from the two houses, there was an old house with a broken door.

This house looks different from the houses of other residents who were demolished and moved away. It only has a front door.

The house is very tall, a herringbone-shaped machine-tiled house, and the area looks a bit large.

After parking the tricycle at the gate and locking it, Wu Yuansheng walked directly into the house.

After entering the door, he found that it was a large passage, which looked like an old warehouse where things were stored.

The four walls of the house are painted with lime. Over time, the plaster on the walls has fallen off in many places, exposing the blue bricks inside.

There are some wooden shelves placed against the wall, and there are a few things placed on the shelves.

There are also many various items scattered on the ground.

Because the windows in this warehouse were not wide open and a little high, the light was not very good. He took out the headlight again, turned on the headlight and started to look at it from the ground.

Under the illumination of the light, Wu Yuansheng quickly saw something. Small brick-like objects were scattered on the ground.

These "small bricks" are about 16 centimeters long, 8 centimeters wide and 5 centimeters thick. They are brown in color, and some of the "bricks" are even wrapped in a layer of light yellow oil paper.

He randomly picked up a piece from the ground and took a look in his hand. He found that these were old alkali (soap) used in laundry.

The surface of the soap is divided into two parts. One part is engraved with the place name of the city, and the other part is engraved with the words "Grease Chemical Factory".

This thing looks like something from decades ago. If it comes to the market, someone will definitely collect it!

Looking at the wooden boxes next to him, he found that two boxes contained this old soap.

Instead of rushing to move these old soaps, Wu Yuansheng looked at other things in the warehouse.

He felt that there might be better and more valuable items inside.

Less than two meters inside, under the illumination of his headlamp, he saw many candles scattered on the ground.

These candles look dark, and some of them are connected together.

Wu Yuansheng picked one up from the ground and took a look in his hand. Under the light, he discovered that these candles were actually red.

Some of the candles were held together because they were tangled in cotton thread.

In addition to the ones scattered on the ground, a wooden box next to them also contained many such candles.

He planned to take these candles with him when he left later.

Continuing to walk inside, he looked at something else not far away.

Under the illumination of the light, he soon found some plastic hand warmers on the ground.

These hand warmers are oblate and spherical in shape, with a lid that can be opened to pour hot water into them.

There seemed to be a lot of hand warmers. He checked visually and found that there were at least a hundred in the box.

The people who demolished it may have thought that this thing was made of plastic, very light, and not valuable, so they didn't take it away.

Wu Yuansheng decided to take all these hand warmers with him when he left soon, and sell them slowly in the future. Anyway, this one is not bad!
In case he can't sell out, when others buy his things, he can just give them to others as a change!
Using his headlight, he continued to search inside the warehouse.

The next time, he found some old toothpaste, toothbrushes, and some old soaps for bathing on the floor of the warehouse.

Some plastic bottles of shampoo, face wash powder, and face cream.

As well as bamboo needles for knitting sweaters, some plastic combs, wooden combs, grates and other daily necessities.There are also many of these things, and most of them are also packed in wooden boxes.

After looking at the things on the ground, he looked at the wooden cabinets and shelves on the wall.

The things placed on the shelves are also the same things placed on the ground.

Although some of these items are of the same type, they are of different brands.

Take toothpaste as an example, there are Lengsuanling, Liangmianzhen, Zhonghua, Fangcao, Liubizhi, etc.

While looking for these things, he also saw the dates on some objects, both from the 80s and 90s.

Although these items are very common and not very valuable individually, they are large in quantity and you can still make some money by picking up more.

The people who demolished the houses did not ask for these things. They may have thought that these things were expired or obsolete, could not be used, and could not be sold.

Next, he selectively started to install the things here, trying to install those in good condition!

I just packed a few boxes of old soap, soap, and toothpaste, and the tricycle was full.

After the car was full, Wu Yuansheng rode the tricycle back to the rental house.

After three more trips here, I finally moved all the combs, grates, cream, candles, and bamboo needles for knitting sweaters.

After all the things were put in the rental house, a lot of space in the rental house was taken up. It seemed that it would not be long before I would have to rent another house.

After putting away his things, Wu Yuansheng continued walking towards the demolition area on his bicycle.

"Young man, do you want to eat watermelon? I see you are sweating profusely. Buy a watermelon and eat it to reduce the heat!"

When he rode his tricycle to a small intersection, a man who looked about 40 years old standing next to a walking tractor said to him.

Wu Yuansheng looked at the melons on this man's car. The watermelon vines were still there, and they were fresh melons that had just been picked.

"How do you sell this melon? Is it sweet?"

After 4 transfers, the weather was hot, and he really felt thirsty now.

"Fifty cents a pound! The cooked buns are sweet! I have a free trial here, you can try it!"

After the boss finished speaking, he cut off most of the watermelon that had been broken in the car and handed it to him.

He took the melon handed over by the boss and took two bites. It was indeed quite sweet.

"Okay! Open one for me now. It shouldn't be too big, just five or six pounds!"

Then the watermelon seller helped him choose melons.

Because it is freshly opened, the melon seller will definitely not choose a half-cooked melon for him.

After selecting the watermelons, the boss weighed them. Wu Yuansheng asked him to help break open the melons. After making sure that the watermelons were just right, he paid the money and started eating.

"Boss, look what time it is now? I forgot to bring my mobile phone." While eating watermelon, Wu Yuansheng said to the man selling watermelon.

"It's almost four o'clock!" the watermelon seller said after taking out his mobile phone from his pocket and looking at it.

"It's almost four o'clock. With the current weather, it will get dark around 8 o'clock. I can still look for things at the homes of the two families who have moved out." He thought to himself after knowing the time.

"Boss, how much land have you planted watermelons on, and what's your income this year?" He continued to chat with the boss while eating melons.

"How many acres of land have been planted! The production of watermelons this year is not good. It rained heavily before, and many melons were soaked in water and spoiled! How much income can I get from farming?"

"Then you usually farm at home and don't go out to work?"

“I’m definitely not farming all the time. Nowadays, farming at home for a year is not as much as what someone can earn by going out to work for a month!

When the fields are not busy, I go out to work, but unfortunately I don’t know how to do it. If I knew how to do it, I might as well stop farming!
Young man, what do you do and what skills do you know? "

"Look, I'm not riding a tricycle. Just like you, I don't know any crafts. I'm learning to collect scraps!"

"I think you are so young, you can definitely learn a craft. If you have a craft, you can eat wherever you go! Collecting scraps definitely doesn't have as good a future as learning a craft!"

"Haha! I will definitely learn it if I have the chance!"

This man actually persuaded himself to learn a craft like old Uncle Zhou did.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with their idea. It is better to find a job if you have skills!
While the two were chatting, someone else came over to buy watermelon.

After Wu Yuansheng finished eating the melon, he asked the boss for some water to wash his hands, chatted with the boss for a few more words and then left.

　Asking for all kinds of support!Thank you all for your support!
