Even the recycling stations were state-run at this time. Usually, the broken things in ordinary people's homes, which can no longer be used, are sold here. At this time, the materials are all expensive, and they can be exchanged for a few small money.

This provincial capital city is different, the recycling station is several times better than the small recycling station in Nanjiang County.

There are more things in it than the recycling bin in the county seat. Most of them are scrap metal and paper books.

At this time, the enthusiasm of the workers is also quite high, and they are not lazy when they work, and they are busy and enthusiastic. No outsider was even noticed.

Xu Nannan glanced at the door and saw a pile of old books, calligraphy and paintings, as well as some bronze wares, his eyes lit up immediately.

The Book of Stones sold last time was equivalent to her previous income for almost a year. It can be seen that selling such ancient books is very profitable.

And it doesn't matter if she sells it at a lower price, after all, the cost can be completely ignored.

So Xu Nannan had long thought about going to the recycle bin a few more times. This is because the recycle bin in the county is small, and usually there are not many things. In addition, the county is not big, and she doesn't want to attract too much suspicion, so she rarely goes there.

Now that such a great opportunity is in front of him, Xu Nannan can even foresee that his Taobao store is full of goods.

"What are you doing, comrade?" An old man in his fifties came over. Seeing that Xu Nannan was neatly dressed and young, his tone was quite kind.

The other staff took a look, didn't look much, and continued to work. There are quite a few people coming to this recycle bin every day, nothing to be surprised about.

Xu Nannan glanced casually and said, "Master, can you sell this thing?"

Anyone else come to buy scraps to go back? The old man was puzzled and surprised. "Did you go to the wrong place, this is not a flea market."

There is still a difference between a flea market and a recycling bin. The things in their recycling bins are all sent to various factories to be crushed and remelted. In the second-hand market, there are some things that can still be used, even old furniture and the like.

Xu Nannan said, "I didn't make a mistake. I just passed by here. I saw that you have a lot of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and those bronze wares. I think they are in good condition. I want to buy some back."

When the uncle heard this, he frowned and said, "Why are you buying these?"

Now all I read are books like Mao Xuan, where can I still read these old books, who is not afraid of being brought out and talked about, when the time comes to divide the class.

"Master, my family has three generations of poor peasants, and my generation has become a worker. Don't worry about your roots." He said and took out two national food stamps from his pocket.

"You can do me a favor."

Well, looking at the food stamps, they are all for two taels, so you can eat two meals.

The uncle coughed, pointed to a pile of things and said, "Okay, you can pick it yourself, and we'll weigh it later."

Xu Nannan immediately happily went to pick things up.

When it comes to writing about ancient cultural relics, Xu Nannan also has a little knowledge. In order to collect antiques, she bought an antique collection book on Taobao, hoping to learn this knowledge.

The problem is, the things on this antique are all domestic treasures, and the possibility of receiving it is very small.

Xu Nannan also knew that people at this time were not stupid. Do you think people really take out good antiques and sell them as scraps? Those who have antiques are rich and well-educated, so don't they know how valuable these things are? Of course it has to be well hidden.

The ones sold in these places are only some old antiques, but they will definitely not be very precious.

But ignoring the cost, if you sell it on Taobao, the minimum one can sell for thousands of dollars. If you are lucky, if you find a good product, you can get tens of thousands of dollars.

Xu Nannan picked out more than a dozen good samples, including two copper furnaces with no age, and a few calligraphy and paintings, but none of them are masterpieces, but there are a lot of books, including the Four Books and Five Classics.

After getting the scale and weighing it, the old man started to make calculations, and after doing the calculation, such a large pile was only two yuan. Books are not expensive, but a few metals are more expensive.

After paying the money, Xu Nannan didn't pay much attention to it. He used a hemp bag and stuffed it in with all his might.

It's quite heavy to carry.

The old man did a favor and lent Xu Nannan the trolley used for pushing goods in the supply and marketing cooperative.

People at this time were really simple and down-to-earth. Xu Nannan thanked her sweetly, and pushed the thing away. When it was pushed to a corner where no one was around, I reached into the bag and threw the things into the Taobao store little by little. I was not in a hurry to set the price, I put the things in first before talking.

When the bag was empty, I bought some unpackaged fruit candies in the Taobao store, and asked the old man to share with everyone when I returned the car.

Now the Coke has ruined several workers here.

The old man happily said, if you want more in the future, come and look for it. Anyway, they are sent to the unit for recycling.

Back at the hotel, Xu Nannan was not in a hurry to eat, so he started to check the Taobao shop.

Now Taobao stores are selling some things one after another, plus the "huge sum" earned from selling stones last time, there will be about 50,000 yuan in it.

Even the industrial tickets she stuffed in Taobao before, she actually sold a few of them.

Now basically earn money every day, compared to before this era, earn more.

Xu Nannan did the math, this time she had a task of a thousand catties, but she didn't plan to really just buy a thousand catties. At least two thousand catties of grain must be brought back.

Everyone has three thousand, and she has two thousand. She can complete the task perfectly without pinching the tip. In this way, she can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the procurement department.

Most of these grains are bought on Taobao, and they cost a thousand or so at most, and the rest are exchanged at Xujia Village.

At that time, others will not be able to find out what is famous.

After doing the calculations like this, Xu Nannan realized that he really won't lose money when he came out this time. Among other things, these industrial tickets can be sold in Taobao stores, and they can keep their capital. Not counting the antiquities that I took the opportunity to dump this time, and the money I brought out to buy food, these money belong to me …

Xu Nannan discovered for the first time that making money is so easy.

After finishing his private business, Xu Nannan was ready to go shopping in the department store.

When Xu Nannan watched TV before, he knew that there were department stores in this era, but every time the protagonists went to only one counter, they couldn't see the whole picture of the mall at all.

There are no big shopping malls in the county town, and there are only slightly larger supply and marketing cooperatives that sell daily necessities. It's hard to even buy a kettle. This is the first time I come to a big city in this era, so I have to see and see.

There are not many people visiting department stores at this time. Xu Nannan felt deserted as soon as he entered.

There are not many counters, and those who sell clothes, shoes, candies... are neatly arranged. After looking around, there are not many rare items, and there are few people. The tellers seem to carry more than the people who buy things. Xu Nannan didn't care about people's faces, and started to make big purchases in the department store with a pile of industrial tickets and cash.

After all, it was said before that industrial supplies should be exchanged for food, so it should be done as it should be. Make up some industrial supplies, and then I will make up some in the Taobao store to make up the number, and take it to Xujia Village to exchange for some food.

No matter who checks, nothing can be found.

Xu Nannan didn't buy any big industrial supplies, just some soap, towels, scissors, and even Jiefang shoes.

Farmers with good conditions can afford these things, so they can exchange them for food and take them home with them.

At this time, there were not many people making big purchases like Xu Nannan's. After walking around, the face of the teller finally became kind.

Even if there is no commission, there are still tasks every month.

Just as I was about to go down the stairs, I found that the counter near the side of the stairs actually sold watches.

Xu Nannan's eyes lit up, watch!

Although the current technical level is not as good as the future, the quality of this meeting is definitely real. The texture is really good.

Must buy, put it in the Taobao store, and when the fashion changes in the future, you can wear it yourself.

"Comrade, look at your watch?"

Seeing Xu Nannan staring at the watch on the counter, the teller asked a casual question. I feel that the little girl in front of me is still a child, and she doesn't necessarily have to go to work. How can I afford a watch here. Money can't be wasted by children like this.

Xu Nannan stared at it for a long time and asked, "Do you have a Swiss watch?"

The teller was taken aback, and looked at Xu Nannan like a fool, "Why do we have this thing here? I have to go to Shanghai to buy it. You need foreign exchange."

Well, imported things, we can't afford them.

"Then which...is this slightly better watch?"

"Shanghai Brand and Gypsophila are relatively easy to sell, why don't you look at Dongfeng." The teller glanced at the counter and named out a series of brands. Xu Nannan took a look, and there were only these three brands at the counter... It's okay to co-author it with anything.

"Okay, take a piece of that." Xu Nannan began to take out the money.

"What, you really want to buy it, and you still buy so much?" The female teller felt that she had suddenly become a fool. No one has ever seen so many watches bought at once, this is not Chinese cabbage, this is a high-end product. "Do you have that much money, more than a hundred? Do you have industrial tickets? You can't do without tickets."

Xu Nannan took out two hundred yuan and a dozen industrial tickets. "I didn't buy it myself. Didn't I come on a business trip? The cadres of the unit asked me to take it back. I have been saving for a long time for this."

Hearing this, the teller felt relieved. He quickly started to open the list and pack it. This month's mission is done again.

Except for department stores, Xu Nannan threw two watches into Taobao. The three watches cost a total of one hundred and sixty. Not counting the money for the industrial ticket for now, this one hundred and sixty is almost worth half a year's salary for her. Although it is a bit more expensive, but at least I bought it for myself, so I won't lose money.

Back at the hotel, Xu Nannan packed up the industrial products he bought and threw them in the Taobao shop. In order not to go back, I have to take it by myself. As for the watch, after gesturing on it a few times, I still gritted my teeth and put it in the Taobao store.

Be low-key, be low-key.

Just as Xu Nannan put the watch in the Taobao store, a dialog box popped up suddenly. This time a different person came up and asked Xu Nannan how to sell that copper tripod.

How to sell it, I really don't know. As for the bronze wares, she always felt that they were from the past, and she was unwilling to sell them at a low price no matter how low the cost was. Otherwise, I'm sorry for traveling all the way.

That's not the point, the point is that someone finally contacted her again!

This time I was not as surprised as last time, but I was still a little surprised, "Comrade, look at the price, let me see."

Xu Nannan secretly set a price in his heart, ten thousand yuan. After all, the copper tripod is small, and its shape is not a product of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, so I don't know if it is worth money. She thinks this is the lowest price.

The other party seemed surprised by Xu Nannan's request. After a long silence, a bunch of calls came over.

It is analyzed that this bronze tripod should be an ancient relic from the Ming Dynasty, but it is not a well-known ancient relic. It should be the furnace tripod used by some high-ranking officials.

Anyway, after a long list of words, I introduced this copper tripod all over, just to explain one thing, it is not that valuable.

In the end, I quoted a price of 20,000 yuan.

When Xu Nannan saw the price, he immediately felt that it was very risky... It would be really dangerous if he stupidly marked up the price.

She thought about it and raised the price appropriately. Twenty-two thousand.

The other party said without saying a word, "OK!"

He wanted to talk again, but there was no more information over there, Xu Nannan was suddenly depressed. Do all of these people have the quality of a buyer? Is there any discount for communicating more with the seller

After selling the copper tripod, Xu Nannan looked at his crowded Taobao store and felt that his business was getting more and more prosperous. And these seem to be just the tip of the iceberg of the potential of this Taobao store.

If you can find that kind of rare treasure, that's great. No, I have to buy a few more books when I go back, but don't recognize the rare treasures in front of me.

After making another sum of money, Xu Nannan felt that his trip was complete and he had to go home.

After all, the mine was still waiting for food, and Xiaoman was worried about being alone.

Early the next morning, Xu Nannan went to the station to buy a ticket, and went straight back to Annan City. It took a whole day to arrive in Annan City. After staying in Annan City for one night, I arrived at Nanjiang County from Annan City.

It was also not easy to go to the mine, so Xu Nannan simply took the car back to his hometown Xujia Village.

The reason why Xujia Village was chosen this time was that Xu Nannan also took the opportunity to take care of the village.

Rural people can eat all kinds of coarse grains for a meal. Although food is precious, those industrial products that cannot be bought are what make people jealous.

It was already noon when Xu Nannan arrived at Xujia Village.

Carrying things on his back, he went directly to Song Guihua's house.

Seeing Xu Nannan come back with big and small bags, Song Guihua was startled.

"Is that why you came over the mountains with so many things on your back?"

Xu Nannan smiled and said, "The car can't get in, so that's the only way to do it." But he didn't carry things into the city, he just got the package out when he was approaching Xujia Village.

"Auntie, can you ask Uncle Gensheng to come over? I have too many things to memorize. I have a mission to come back this time. It's serious."

Hearing what Xu Nannan said was so serious, Song Guihua asked Xu Gui to invite Xu Gensheng without saying a word.

Not long after, Xu Gensheng came.

Looking at the industrial products that Xu Nannan brought back, his eyes straightened.

Hearing Xu Nannan's explanation of his purpose, Xu Gensheng slapped the table without saying a word, "Okay, I'll go and talk to the other teams about how to divide this thing. I'm thinking about it, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

When Xu Nannan came, he was worried that Xujiacun would not be able to provide much food.

After all, every time I come back, I hear many people complaining about the lack of food. When I lived here before, every household had wild vegetables.

Unexpectedly, Xu Gensheng took advantage of noon to publicize with several teams in the village, and Song Guihua's house was surrounded by people.

Men and women from every household came here with food on their backs, and they were worried that they would not be able to exchange for industrial products if they arrived too late.

It doesn't matter if there is not enough food, just eat a few more meals of wild vegetables and tighten your belt. But this industrial product is not often available. There is no industrial ticket in the countryside, and no one will go to the city to buy something. Throughout the year, if you want to buy something, you can't find a way.

Now that someone gave it to me, why don't you hurry up and exchange it

Xu Nannan has no rules about harvesting grain this time. He collects both coarse grains and fine grains, as long as there is grain at home.

Because of this incident, no one in Xujia Village had a rest at noon, and they were busy carrying food in exchange for things.

He was still muttering, that Nannan from Song Guihua's family is doing well now, not only sitting in an office in the city, but now bringing a lot of industrial products back in exchange for food. You need all kinds of food, hurry up, or you will be gone.

The Xu family village is so lively, the old Xu family naturally knows the news.

Xu Jianping also asked if he wanted to change something, the old lady slapped the table directly, "Is that something rare in our family? Jiansheng is in the city, why can't I buy it, and want to be rare about that cheap thing?"

After the old lady said this, no one else in the family dared to speak.

After a while, the old lady asked, "Coincidentally, did you finish your trip to the city the day before yesterday? Do you have any letters from your elder brother and sister-in-law?"

Liu Qiao became serious when he heard this.

"This matter was brought up by my sister-in-law. Of course, she wished that it would be done right away. It's just that the elder brother wasted a bit of effort. He felt ashamed to face others. But then the children cried, and the sister-in-law also cried. I followed up and said a little shit Meaning, the eldest brother also acquiesced, and didn't intend to take care of this matter, and let the sister-in-law make troubles."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "This time she did a good deed. If this matter is settled, our old Xu's family will have nothing to worry about in the future."

Nanjiang Iron Mine.

After lunch, Li Jing went to the Mining Committee again. Of course it's about the house.

After knowing that Xu Nannan had left the iron mine, she started running on the iron mine.

Having dealt with the eldest daughter so many times, she has learned to be smart now. You can't meet this girl face to face, or her mouth can make the dead alive.

In order to ensure that everything is safe, she has been patiently not moving. Waiting for Xu Nannan to go on a business trip. After all, Xu Nannan is in the procurement department, and there will always be a day when he has to go on a business trip. She couldn't believe that she couldn't wait.

I didn't expect God to help her so much, this dead girl left the mine so soon, it seems that she won't come back in a few days.

She didn't wait for a moment, and sent a telegram to her family to call Liu Qiao, which convinced Xu Jiansheng. Then start running the mining committee.

She didn't directly ask for a house this time either. Didn't that dead girl say that as long as she can solve the house problem, she won't burden the mine. Then she will do as the girl says. Let's solve the housing problem by ourselves, and we don't want the houses in the mine anymore. Anyway, the house on the mine is public property, and there is no way to transfer the account. If you have that girl's house, let Jiansheng's registered permanent residence be transferred out first, and become a separate household. Since you are his wife, you can naturally transfer your registered permanent residence to this house. It's a good deal no matter what.

So these two times she came to the mining committee, that's what she said to the mining committee. As long as they move to Xu Nannan's house, they will return the two small rooms in the mine to the mine.

This time, for the matter of household registration, she was determined to be cruel. She even gave up the house she lives in now, just not to give Xu Nannan a chance to refuse.

Who in the mine doesn't know the relationship between Xu Nannan and her family. As for the words of severing relations, aren't they all angry words? Can parents really care about their children? Parents don't care about it anymore, but children can still care about it

As long as the mine agrees to this arrangement, when Xu Nannan goes home, the mine will come forward to arrange, how dare this girl be stubborn

They are all from the mine anyway, how can they not listen to the leader's arrangement

Besides, if I and Jiansheng can live in that house, the mine will immediately have vacant rooms. This is a real house in the mine, and naturally someone will benefit. If this girl Nan Nan disagrees, how can she be spared

Anyway, if this matter is successful, it will be successful, and if it is not successful, it will be successful.

As long as they live in that house, it is their house. At that time, they will try their best to turn this house into their justifiable house.

Li Jing went to the Mining Committee twice, and she even advertised that if she could live in Nannan's house, she would not cause trouble to the mine, and let the house out to those in need.

Quite a few people listened, and immediately used their brains.

Two small rooms can always be assigned to one room, isn't this a life of prosperity

Li Jing's joyful jumping here made Zhu Fang's face blush and her neck was thick. She didn't expect that there was a mother more disgusting than her stepmother in this world.

After work, she went to the Office of the Women's Federation to find Director Zhu.

Seeing her anxious look, Zhu Liping said, "What are you worried about? The Mining Committee hasn't agreed yet. Is it useful for her to jump around?"

"I'm not worried that when Xu Nannan comes back, the house will be gone?" Zhu Fang actually felt a little guilty.

At that time, if she hadn't asked Wu Qing to accompany Xu Nannan to deliver things, Wu Qing would not have known about the house, let alone revealed it. There were not so many things after that.

No matter what, I still have the responsibility.

"Gu, do you think the mine leaders will really agree to let Nannan accept them to live?"

Zhu Liping was also a little worried, "Who knows, after all, they are indeed a family. The main reason is that Nan Nan is not very old. Her parents want to live with her. No one can say it's bad. And if this thing happens , there will be another house in the mine. The Xu family has set an example again, so what the mine leaders say, it’s really not certain.”

"Then can the mine leaders still take care of other people's family affairs? Nan Nan is not happy, can the mine leaders force it?"

Zhu Liping felt that her niece was still too young. "Things in this world are not just happy or not. When the county government collected so much public property, the owners of those houses were happy? Besides, this matter is difficult. In the future, Nan Nan I have to be embarrassed because of the house. After all, she has a house and doesn't let her parents live in it, so she let Xu Jiansheng and his wife occupy the house. Li Jing didn't mention the matter of repaying the public property before, and no one would think so I thought, now that I mention it, the flies won’t see the meat. Just stare at it.”

"Then what should we do?" Zhu Fang was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

"No one can do anything about it. I can only communicate with some section chiefs and masters when the time comes, and help to talk when the time comes. It won't be too ugly. But Nan Nan has to find his own way about this matter. We outsiders don't It's easy to blend."
