Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 300: That steel pipe is indeed heavier than my steel bar!

"Yuan Sheng, look at the steel bars they picked up on the tricycle. The thick ones are No. 30, and the thin ones are No. 20. Any one about half a meter long can weigh a few kilograms to a few kilograms more!"

When passing the tricycle, Ding Changxi glanced at the steel bars placed on the three-wheeled vehicle and said to him.

Numbers 20 and 30 refer to the specification and model of the rebar, which is the diameter in millimeters.

When building high-rise buildings, especially those with more than 30 floors, the main load-bearing columns that are poured with concrete after piling are driven, and the steel bars used are very thick.

Wu Yuansheng once saw the thick rebar used for building bridges on rivers or high-speed rail bridges. The thickest ones were about 50 mm, so that size should be the largest.

"Yes! Iron is heavy! Especially such solid steel bars."

Looking at the steel bars, he continued.

"How much does a pound of iron cost now?"

Ding Changxi asked him again.

"Rebar like this is so good, it costs about 1 yuan per pound!"

He went to the earth field to explore for treasures before. When he came across iron, he picked it up easily and knew the price.

"Doesn't that mean that just picking up a steel bar like this will cost you a few dollars more?"

After the brother-in-law finished speaking, he put on his gloves and went to pick up iron.

I glanced at Master Xiang. He was using a saw to cut thick steel bars on a concrete pile.

Wu Yuansheng walked towards him.

In this mixed soil, there is a little excess part of the pillar after piling.

After getting closer, he saw that the exposed steel bar was more than one meter long and seemed to be about 30 millimeters in diameter. If cut, it would weigh ten kilograms.

In fact, we only saw 25 mm. This kind of steel bar will break if you pull it up and down for a while.

Generally, rebar with a diameter of less than one centimeter can be easily broken by hand as long as it is fixed properly without using a saw.

Anyone with experience knows this.

"Master Xiang, haven't you been collecting iron and digging for treasures at the road construction site these days?"

After walking over, Wu Yuansheng asked him.

"No, I went to look at the dirt field here the day before yesterday. I found that there is much more iron here than there, so I came here."

As he spoke, he put the hacksaw aside and began to hold the end of the steel bar with his hand and move it up and down.

"There does seem to be more iron here than there. They are all large rebars! You must have picked up a lot here in the past two days, right?"

He has observed the situation of the soil field here. Not too much soil has been poured over. In the past, the soil that was poured over was the soil layer dug from the basement.

According to his experience, for a large construction site to build seven or eight high-rise houses or more, it will take at least ten days to transport the piles of soil mixed with soil using a muck truck.

If you dig a basement, even if you only dig one floor, it will take two to three months to transport the muck.

These piles of soil can be transported for at least a week.

"The day before yesterday, yesterday, and this morning, I earned 1300 from collecting iron and selling it! I never thought that one day I would make money in this way!"

Master Xiang seemed very satisfied with the income and said to him with a smile, without hiding it.

To make money, you have to have a way and find the right direction. What he said is similar to what he said.

At this time in his previous life, he also didn't know there were opportunities to make money in garbage dumps or demolition areas.

Of course, everyone has their own experiences, perceptions, and ways of making money!

As the saying goes, "cats have cat paths, dogs have dog paths; pigs arch forward, chickens plow backwards; chickens have their own paths even if they don't urinate."

"Then you gained a lot!"

3 days of collecting iron can be sold for 1300, which is not a small amount, but it is not the most. He has heard from others before that some people can sell more than 1000 for collecting iron in one day.

During the demolition of some factory areas, some large pieces of iron, such as fire pipes, sluices, and some channel steel buried underground, weighed more than 100 or 200 kilograms.

"Why didn't you go to the dirt field near the fish pond? The dirt has been dumped there in the past two days! It's different there. There may be copper coins! People like you who use machines to hunt for treasures are basically there. Side!" After saying this, the steel bar was broken by him and it shook for about a minute.

Master Xiang put the steel bars into the snakeskin bag he brought over.

When many people pick up iron, they bring a snakeskin bag to put it in so they don't have to keep running back and forth to the tricycle.

"When I arrived, I saw the garbage truck running this way, so it stopped here. We'll go over there later!"

He also knew that the earthen field on the other side of the fish pond was close to the mainstream river, about five or six miles away from here, not too far.

As he was talking, Master Xiang suddenly ran forward. Looking in the direction he was going, he saw a newly arrived garbage truck.

Glancing at the roof of the car, there was a steel bar about a foot in length exposed.

"It turns out he was going to grab the steel bars!"

Wu Yuansheng couldn't help but think.

When picking up iron in the garbage dump, everyone found iron exposed on the carriage, so it was normal to go there and grab it.

At this time, Ding Changxi also saw the steel bars exposed on the car, and he followed it.

He had already picked up a steel bar in his hand, which seemed to be about half a meter long.

Besides them, there was another person, one of the two iron pickers, who also went to the garbage truck.

Three people stood behind the garbage truck according to the directions of left, middle and right.

Wu Yuansheng did not follow him to grab it, but he shouted to Ding Changxi from a distance, telling him to pay attention to his safety!

When the rear eight-wheeler dumps dirt, if the dirt in the carriage is not poured out completely, it may fall back again!

Soon, the garbage truck dumped the dirt.

Fortunately for Master Xiang, the direction where the steel bar fell happened to be on his side.

After picking up the steel bar, he laughed a few times.

"Lao Xiang, what's so funny? Yours is not the biggest iron in the car. Did you see this new master? What he picked up was a steel pipe!"

Said the man who picked up the iron together but didn't pick it up.

"It's true! I was just looking at the steel bar in my hand. That steel pipe is indeed heavier than my steel bar!"

He glanced at the steel pipe Ding Changxi picked up in his hand and said to the master.

The length of this steel pipe is about one meter six.

In addition to the steel pipe, my brother-in-law picked up another bent steel bar from the dirt over there, which seemed to weigh four or five kilograms.

"You're lucky! I've never seen you picking up iron before. Are our teams going to expand?"

Master Xiang put the steel bars into the bag, looked at Ding Changxi, and said to him.

He was busy sawing steel bars before, so he didn't see Ding Changxi getting out of Wu Yuansheng's van, and he didn't know their relationship.

"Yes! It's going to be expanded!"

Ding Changxi looked at him and said to him with a smile.

After saying that, he took the iron and went to the van where Wu Yuansheng was parked.

Because they had to pick up iron, when they came, they also brought snakeskin bags and other items.

"His accent sounded like he was from Sichuan Province. If he went to your van, what does it have to do with you?"

When he left the mound and went to another garbage truck that came to dump the dirt, he asked the master curiously.

At this time Wu Yuansheng walked with him.

"He is my brother-in-law. He has nothing to do these two days. He will go to the garbage dump to play for a while. He will leave the day after tomorrow. The New Year is almost here, but as the New Year has begun, he may come again!"
