Shen Lin collected electrical appliances and only collected three radios in the past two days, but he did not expect to encounter such a good thing.
"Brother, your color TV is also going to be sold." Shen Lin handed a cigarette to the middle-aged man next to him and asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "This color TV has been broken for three or four years. I have found several repairmen, but they have not been able to fix it."
"Finally, our leader found a master from our TV factory, but he couldn't find the problem."
"It has been thrown into this warehouse until now. If you want to remove the copper wires inside, you can take them away. But the price cannot be lowered."
The middle-aged man's words made Shen Lin stunned for a moment. He looked at the color TV carefully and suddenly understood why the color TV couldn't be repaired by several masters.
This is a color TV imported from abroad. In some places, there are quite a few differences from domestic color TVs.
If you can't understand the manual, it's normal that you can't repair it.
"Brother, look at this color TV, how about I give it three yuan?" Shen Lin hesitated and offered a price that he thought was quite reasonable.
"Okay, three yuan is three yuan." The middle-aged man thought about it silently and said to Shen Lin happily.
Shen Lin suppressed the joy in his heart. You must know that this color TV was a rare item at the time. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy it.
Full of joy, Shen Lin quickly packed up the old newspapers, paper boxes and other items in the warehouse, then pulled his things and walked towards the scrap collection station.
The fat man at the scrap collection station was now an acquaintance of Shen Lin. In the past two days, Shen Lin not only offered cigarettes to the fat man every time he came here, but also gave him two boxes of good cigarettes.
Looking at the loaded Shen Lin, the fat man said with a smile: "Shen Lin, you are really rich this time. Look at the things in your car, tsk tsk, you have to earn five yuan for this trip."
Shen Lin handed the fat man a cigarette and said: "Hey, I also rely on luck. If I didn't rely on the support of my uncle's friends, this job would not be my turn."
"Hey, if I finish packing up the inventory in four or five days, I won't have a good life!"
The fat man took the cigarette handed over by Shen Lin, and the smile on his face became brighter and said: "Shen Lin, with your uncle's support, you are still afraid of lack of work!"
Having said this, he glanced at the color TV in Shen Lin's car and said, "Hey, you took all this big color TV? You are awesome!"
"It cost three yuan, and I'm going to bring it to my house as a decoration. Even if I can't see it, it's a honor to have someone at home." Shen Lin looked like he wanted to support the scene.
A trace of perseverance flashed in the fat man's eyes. It is enviable for this boy to have a good uncle, but this situation and his vision are just a little too small.
"Okay, go get the money." The fat man handed Shen Lin two receipts.
Shen Lin, who was already familiar with the business here, took the order to collect the money. The fat man looked at Shen Lin's back and cursed: "This kid is really lucky. He earns more than ten yuan a day. If he comes to month, which is almost as much as my annual salary."
"Why don't I have such a good uncle?"
On a July day, the child's face changes at any time.
The sun was clearly shining brightly, but in the blink of an eye, a cloud covered the sky, and huge raindrops continued to fall.
Shen Lin, who had collected another cart of old newspapers, was pulling the cart to the collection station. When the rain came down, he pulled the cart and ran under the eaves of the roadside.
In just a few steps, dense raindrops were already falling quickly. At this time, Shen Lin didn't bother to take shelter from the rain. After putting the flatbed truck away, he quickly picked up two bundles of newspapers and rushed under the eaves.
If the newspaper is soaked too much, it will rot easily and it will not be sold at a good price.
As a result, people taking shelter from the rain saw a young man wearing a vest rushing into the rain again and again and moving bundles of waste paper under the eaves.
In three minutes, Shen Lin moved all the newspapers under the eaves. However, by this time, his body was completely soaked. The sweat and rain on his face could not be distinguished clearly, and he was panting from exhaustion.
Even so, Shen Lin did not dare to delay. He quickly rushed over and moved down the old color TV that was covered with a thin plastic sheet.
After completing all this, Shen Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the flatbed truck that was soaked under the heavy rain, he felt more and more urgent in his heart.
The three-wheeled wheel with the top must be produced as soon as possible.
The rain came and went as quickly as it came. In just half an hour, the pouring rain stopped silently. After the clouds, the sky showed sunshine again.
The weather suddenly became much cooler, but there was a lot of stagnant water in the bumpy streets. Shen Lin was wearing shorts, so he was not afraid of wading in the water, but the red star rubber shoes under his feet slipped a little with every step.
Most of the people taking shelter from the rain dispersed one after another, and Shen Lin also began to load newspapers and color TVs onto the flatbed truck. Even though he was young and strong, this was another move, and his arms still hurt.
Wearing rubber shoes and wading in the water, Shen Lin almost fell to the ground several times. Although he was very careful, a layer of skin was still rubbed off his arm by the handlebar.
It usually takes more than ten minutes to go, but Shen Lin walked for half an hour to get to the scrap collection station.
"Xiao Shen, why are you here on this rainy day?" Fatty Liu was drinking tea leisurely. When he saw Shen Lin, a smile appeared on his face.
Shen Lin touched his pocket and quickly handed the box of Ximei cigarettes he had just bought to Fatty Liu. A box of Ximei cigarettes cost 20 to 30 cents. In the county, even ordinary workers would not smoke such expensive cigarettes. .
And from the second day after selling scraps, Shen Lin basically gave Fatty Liu a box of Ximei cigarettes every day.
"Brother Liu, the things are in the car. If I don't bring them to you, I won't have anywhere to put them."
Taking the cigarette from Shen Lin skillfully, the smile on Fatty Liu's face became more easy-going. He glanced at Shen Lin's car and said: "Xiao Shen, according to our rules here, we don't collect anything on rainy days. .”
"But, since you're already here, Brother Liu can't let you come in vain and move your things over."
Shen Lin also knew the rules of the scrap yard very well and knew that there was no such thing as what Fatty Liu said.
But after Fatty Liu said this, he couldn't refute it. He could only say with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Liu."
After converting the car full of scraps into banknotes, Shen Lin waved goodbye to Fatty Liu. Because of the rain today, Shen Lin did not earn as much as yesterday, but the total money in his hands now totaled fifty yuan.
Fifty yuan is equivalent to a month's salary of a skilled worker!
Compared with the money he earned today, Shen Lin was even more happy that this time he not only received an old color TV, but also a radio that was in good condition and didn't seem to have any serious problems.
While the butcher shop was still open, Shen Lin used the meat stamps he collected this morning to buy a pound of fat meat. He could make some lard when he got home and it would be delicious for cooking.
