Chapter 11 Picking Up Trash

Chapter 11 Picking up trash

In the Nimuri area of ​​Arakawa District, Kashiki took Shirakawa Kaede and Totaro to a warehouse built with iron.

Because of the wind and sun, the original silver iron surface has already become rusty, and as the wind blows from time to time, it makes a crunching sound that makes people sour.

There was not even a wall around the warehouse, and just used a few wires to surround the site perfunctorily and then the matter was settled.

The Arakawa District in the late 1970s was far less modern than later developed. Especially in the Nimuri area, there were low houses everywhere.

Most of the people who live here are ordinary wage earners, and the streets are far less prosperous than Shibuya and Kichijoji.

There are cigarette butts and garbage everywhere on the ground. Shirakawa Kaede can say responsibly that the RB environment at this time is simply two places compared to later generations.

He could even irritate RB citizens in a very contemptuous tone. Tokyo is synonymous with dirty and messy, far worse than American fathers.

Look at this tone, old RB public intellectuals.

Just as Shirakawa Kaede was stunned, Kashiki took them directly into the warehouse. The wall signs outside were useless.

As the tarp was unveiled, the true face of Mount Lu was revealed.

The room was bigger than Shirakawa Kaede imagined, not only had shelves but also had small separate rooms.

After leaving the warehouse, after listening to Kaeduki's explanation, Shirakawa Kaedu understood that Matsumoto was the administrator and guard here.

Shirakawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, then said it was okay, he was just making trouble, a pure hobby.

So whenever someone like Kashiki came to shop, he would bring some things to Matsumoto, beer, cigarettes, and bento.

Over time, Matsumoto even picked out some things that looked good and stored separately, but they were only open to people who were familiar with each other.

When Matsumoto heard the words Akita sake, his throat twitched a few times.

Shirakawa Kaede shook his head and signaled that it was okay. What attracted him more at this time were the treasures on the shelves.

"Oh, by the way. These two are juniors from my hometown. I just came to Tokyo and I just lacked some daily necessities. Let's see if there is anything that my dad can use here."

He ignored Shirakawa Kaede's words, but nodded to show that he knew.

Matsumoto put the things on the table casually, "The two little guys don't study hard, so they come to Tokyo to make a living at such a young age. Be careful to suffer."

"The things are all on the shelves. Whether you can find something that can be used depends on your luck."

There was a burst of rumbling sounds and vague complaints from the iron door.

After saying that, Kashikigi waved to Shirakawa Kaede and the others. He led them all the way to the back of the warehouse, where there was a door here.

But it is called a warehouse, but it is actually a household appliance garbage dump. Who would come here if you are as bitter as Kashimu, who would come here to shop for things.

There are also various electrical appliances on the shelves, but the quality is obviously much better than that on the outside. They have also been sorted out in a variety of categories.

Kashiki patted the iron door, "Matsumoto San, it's me, Kashiki."

When leaving here, Shirakawa Kaede ran back to the large warehouse and moved back a TV that was exactly the same as before.

He said while uncovering the tarp. "The ones outside have been stacked in the warehouse for too long. The new ones can't be put away, so they can only be moved out and wait for the recycling company to pull them away in a concentrated manner."

"But..." He kept it a secret.

"Awesome" Seeing such a wide variety of electrical appliances, Shirakawa Kaede seemed to see a mountain of gold.

Matsumoto shook his head and said nothing more.

Matsumoto took the bag and glanced casually. It was okay, a little more than last time.

"Dad has such a temper." Kaede Kaede was afraid that Shirakawa Kaede would think too much, so he explained in a low voice.

After waiting for less than two minutes, an old man in his sixties and seventies opened the door, "It's you boy again. Didn't you just come last month?"

"But what, Uncle Kashiki."

Hearing Shirakawa Feng's sigh, Kashiki couldn't help but smile, "Xiao Feng, these electrical appliances are basically useless, and there are more or less minor problems."

I saw all kinds of home appliances arranged neatly together, from refrigerators and washing machines to radio hair dryers, everything is available.

This is not a room, it is more like a small warehouse.

From this alone, we can tell that Matsumoto is a good person. However, sake is much more expensive than beer, and most people can't drink it a few times a month.

In fact, he was optimistic about a set of Sony audio, but today the three of them came empty-handed and had no car. They couldn't move too much stuff.

Shirakawa Kaede mentioned sake, and he made a temporary idea when he saw all kinds of beer bottles in the small warehouse.

Matsumoto turned a blind eye to these things. Everyone was like ants. Life was already quite difficult, so there was no need to make things difficult for each other.

After picking the things, they are ready to leave.

"Dad, Totaro and I will come to visit you next time. We must let you taste the best sake in Akita."

He wanted all these, of course he knew it was impossible. Although Matsumoto signaled them to choose whatever they wanted, if he really took them all, it would be ungrateful.

Kaede was about to explain, and Shirakawa Kaede signaled him to be calm.

The old man said, looking at Shirakawa Kaede and Totaro beside Kaede Kaede next to Kashikigi.

"Hehe" Kashimu smiled embarrassedly, "It's just to visit my father." As Kashimu said that, he had already handed over the shopping bag in his hand with beer and cigarettes.

Anyway, this place is almost in a irresponsible area, and the government will not count how much garbage it has.

But these are not a problem for Shirakawa Kaede. Akita sake is famous, but it is a local specialty in my hometown. I still lack this? Even my mother brews some every year and keeps it for herself to drink.

After saying that, Matsumoto took out the beer and bento on his own and started drinking it.

There are also Sanyo's audio, Hitachi's vacuum cleaner, Sony Sharp, etc., etc.

He walked over and watched the more he became more and more happy. This new TV launched by Panasonic last winter was advertised by Kaede Shirakawa, and the brand new one costs 148,000 yen.

Seeing Shirakawa Kaede and Totaro looking at him like curious babies, Kashiki nodded with satisfaction. "But there is no way to find something valuable."

He nodded to Kashiki with satisfaction, and then greeted Shirakawa Kaede and the others, "Come in."

"Dad, please take care of me in the future." Shirakawa Kaede bowed to the old man in a regular manner, and Totaro followed closely behind.

Kashiki stood in a corner covered with tarps in the warehouse and pointed at them, "Now, if you want to find something useful, you can only find it here."

Seeing Shirakawa Kaede picked up the TV, Matsumoto reminded him, "Boy, remind you that although that TV is the same as the new one, it only has sound and no picture."

"Of course, sometimes you are lucky and you may be able to pick up fresh goods at the door of the fence. Those are the residents nearby who threw them there for convenience."

Finally, he picked and picked up, Shirakawa Kaede picked a Panasonic TV and a Hitachi cuisine machine.

Along the way, not only the inside of the warehouse, but also the open-air places outside are filled with various electrical waste.

"Hey, Xiao Feng. The thing outside is really rubbish. Why are you picking it up?"

Shirakawa Kaede smiled and didn't explain much.

"Mysterious" Kaede Kaede looked at the joyful Shirakawa Kaede, wondering how happy he was.

Totaro was even more stupid, following Shirakawa Kaede around, Shirakawa Kaede laughed, and he laughed too.

Happy New Year!
