Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 60 Pihu
The six bottles of wine sold by Boss Luo, including the bottles he just mentioned that he had already drank, were most likely the ones he was asked to pick up when he was collecting scraps in other people's old houses.

When old houses are renovated, many residents will ask the recyclers to buy things, half selling and half giving away.

"Lao Luo, we earned another 300 yuan. You really have a bumper harvest today!"

The man named Zhang who looked to be about 35 or 300 years old and who he heard chatting with Boss Luo outside the yard before saw Wu Yuansheng paying [-] yuan to Boss Luo and said to him.

When Boss Luo took out the wine just now, the man named Zhang had already come over. He just looked and didn't speak. He didn't speak until he saw them completing the transaction.

"It's nothing. According to what Boss Wu said on his business card, I still have the items here. I will definitely be able to sell them for some money later."

"Really! Can you show me what he bought on his business card?"

"Boss Wu, please give Xiao Zhang a business card as well. Like me, he rides a tricycle around to recycle waste items."

After hearing what Boss Luo said, Wu Yuansheng took out his wallet from his purse pocket, pulled out a business card from it and handed it to the man named Zhang.

Of course, even if Boss Luo didn't say anything, he would take out his business card and hand it to him.

Boss Zhang picked up the business card and read it.

"You still collect photos? I have a lot of them here!" After seeing them, he suddenly said.

"Yes, keep it! You can take it out later and let me take a look, but most of the photos are worthless!"

Hearing him mention the photos alone, Wu Yuansheng couldn't help but think of his collection of photos in his previous life.

He liked photos very much. When he was treasure hunting in the demolition area, during that year and a half, he went to the stalls in antique cities or antique markets and basically bought up all the cheap photos.

As long as it was a photo, as long as it was cheap and packaged and sold to him, he wanted it. In the end, he had more than 2 albums and loose photos in his hands.

His photos are many and very mixed, and they are all kinds of pictures from all over the world.

In terms of age, the earliest ones are from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and the latest ones are from recent years.

In terms of type, in addition to portraits, there are also landscapes, animals and plants, antiques, minerals, etc.

In terms of life, there are some photos of elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university graduation, some photos of family life, some photos of meetings at work, some photos of outings, and some portrait photos.

Geographically speaking, in addition to domestic photos, there are also photos from abroad.

Nearly [-] photos allowed him to truly broaden his horizons and see all kinds of life.

Those photos also allowed him to understand the lives of people of different periods and statuses, as well as the scenery of different eras and places.

In this life, whenever he encounters photos, as long as they are cheap and packaged and sold to him, he will buy them in large quantities.

"Okay! Come and see mine after you've finished looking at Lao Luo's things! I also have a business card, so take one too."

As Boss Zhang spoke, he took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to him.

Wu Yuansheng took the business card and took a look. In addition to recycling some old goods and old electrical appliances, it also said that he would help smash walls, apply sand and cement and other engineering and decoration work.

Looking at Boss Zhang's strong physique, he can really do some heavy and tiring work on the construction site.

"Let's save the phone first!"

Boss Zhang seemed to remember something again, so he picked up his cell phone and called him.

After the call was made, they both saved each other.

"Boss Luo, what else do you have? Take it all out!"

Without wasting time, Wu Yuansheng continued to speak to him.

"I'll get it now, you wait a few more minutes." After saying that, he turned around and went to get something.

This time, Boss Luo did not go to the room where things were stored, but walked directly into the room here.

"Boss Zhang, you go back and look for something. I'll put the wine in the car so that everyone can save some time." When Boss Luo went in to look for something, Wu Yuansheng said to Boss Zhang again.

"Okay! I'm going to find the things for sale too." After speaking, Boss Zhang went to where he lived to look for things.

After they all went looking for something, he took the wine and went to the tricycle.As soon as Wu Yuansheng wrapped the wine in the newspaper he brought and put it away, and locked the iron box, a man who looked to be in his 60s and only about 1.5 meters tall came up next to him.

This man looks very special, with a small head, big ears, and bright eyes. From the overall appearance, he is a very shrewd person.

"Aren't you a recycling guy? I didn't see the words "waste recycling" written on your car!"

The man said when he walked next to him. His accent sounded like he was from Sichuan Province.

"Yes! I don't recycle, but I collect some things from people who recycle!"

While he was talking, he walked towards the house where Boss Luo lived.

"Really? Then what you collected should be extraordinary."

This man also followed. He should have come to this courtyard as well. I don't know if he also lives here.

"Old Shen! Are you here to play chess again? But you have to wait for a while. We are busy with something now!"

When Wu Yuansheng came to the door of the house where Boss Luo lived again, Boss Luo said to the man in his 60s next to him.

After hearing what he said, he also knew that the old man's surname was Shen.

"There's no rush in playing chess. You work first. When you're done, we'll play later." Lao Shen said.

"Boss Wu, look at this thing again! It's rare to see this now!"

Boss Luo held a "skin tiger" in his hand and said to him. As he spoke, he handed it to Wu Yuansheng.

The so-called "leather tiger", whose scientific name is "leather bellows" or "hand blower", is a manual blower, similar to a bellows, generally the size of a racket.

Its structure is very simple. It usually consists of two wooden handles and a complete peach-shaped body. The two wooden boards are connected with cowhide to form a leather cavity. There is a conical metal air hole on the top of the leather cavity.

When using it, first separate the handle and the leather cavity will open accordingly.

The air enters the inside of the leather cavity. Aim the mouth of the leather cavity at the place where you want to blow. When the two handles are closed, the leather cavity is compressed. The air in the cavity will form an airflow and rush out, thus achieving the effect of blowing air.

This can be used to blow up some dust or after igniting the fire, use it to blow on the firewood to make the flame burn more vigorously.

After taking the hand dryer handed to him by Boss Luo, he started to read it and saw the words on the middle wooden surface:

"Leather bellows, produced by the Jiangcheng Leather Equipment Cooperative Factory in Jiangcheng City, distributed by Jiangcheng Hardware Machinery Company, with a factory date of 1965."

After reading the words, he checked all other parts of the "skin tiger" and found that there was nothing damaged or missing.

"How about it? This thing is strange!" Boss Luo said to Wu Yuansheng again after seeing Wu Yuansheng holding it and looking at it for a while.

"It's not unusual. If you buy things in the demolition area in the future, you will definitely encounter them again."

You will definitely encounter it, but the exact year may not be written on it.

This was before the special era.

"There are indeed quite a lot of these things. Many craftsmen used them in the past, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, some electrical repair masters, and some restaurant owners!" said Mr. Shen.

"How much do you plan to sell this for?" Now that he was optimistic, he asked Boss Luo about the price.

"I don't know the price of this thing. How much does a bottle of wine cost? It's the same price as the wine just now, 50 yuan!"

"This thing only costs 30 yuan. I see you brought out two abacus here. I'll give you 50 yuan together. What do you think?"

The materials of the two abacus are very ordinary, and there are no precious woods such as huanghuali, rosewood, golden nan, etc.

He couldn't charge a high price for the leather bellows. If he paid a high price, on the one hand, he wouldn't be able to lower the price if he bought the same type of thing in the future. On the other hand, he might not make any money, and he would be wasting time and running errands for others.

When buying something, you must have a certain profit margin. The cheaper you buy, the smaller the risk of losing money.

"Okay! As you said, Pihu, two abacus, three items together for 50 yuan! And the last item, after you finish reading, go and see Xiao Zhang's things."
