Chapter 115 Learn Something 3
Feng Qingxue did not stay at Xu's house. After the grain was delivered, she sent a letter to Lu Jiang and then went to the scrap collection station.
She had noticed that the scrap collection station often received a lot of new scrap.
Just as Lu's father said, whether it was the scrap collection station in the county or the city, although there were antiques and calligraphy and paintings, it was rare to find particularly precious, light, easy to carry and easy to hide.
Some were destroyed and taken away during the house search, while some were intercepted after arriving at the scrap station.
Since ancient times, the most abundant thing is people with insight, vision and courage.
No wonder I didn't find many valuable books and calligraphy and paintings when I first went to the scrap station to shop. At that time, I thought it was because there were few rich people where I lived, so there were no good things.
The most common recyclable items in the scrap station are paper, copperware, ironware, and wood. Paper is various textbooks, newspapers, and thread-bound books. Although 90% of the books and calligraphy and paintings are from the old times, they are common in the market and have no special cultural relic value. However, the probability of finding antiques in copperware, ironware, and wood is relatively high.
Just now, Feng Qingxue saw a half-human-high bronze tripod as soon as she entered the scrap station. Unfortunately, she couldn't buy it openly, nor could she sneak it into the space, because the target was too big and it would be easily discovered by the staff if it was lost.
With a sigh of regret, Feng Qingxue went to look for other scraps.
However, there are many thread-bound ancient books in the scrap station today, which should have been transported in the same batch. Most of them are official editions of the Qing Dynasty, and there are also famous Chinese and foreign classics published in modern times. Although they are not unique, they are also of some value.
There are also valuable books, but the number is very small. As for calligraphy and paintings, no extremely valuable ones were found.
Feng Qingxue likes reading very much. She is a real bookworm. She quickly smuggled the books she liked into the space.
It's not that she wants to steal, but because these books can't be taken away from the waste station.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. Feng Qingxue took out two big unity notes and walked to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, I was looking for what I needed in the waste paper pile just now, and I found a book with twenty yuan in it."
"What? You found money in the waste paper pile?" Uncle Li was very surprised. Why didn't he encounter such a good thing?
Feng Qingxue smiled slightly, "Yes, Uncle Li, so I gave the money to the waste station."
"Okay, I will hand it over." Uncle Li took the money and happily praised her spirit of honesty.
Feng Qingxue felt that her guilt was relieved and returned to the waste pile to continue shopping.
After searching for books, calligraphy and paintings, she found a lot of furniture parts that were smashed to pieces. They were small-leaf red sandalwood with carved patterns. The most valuable thing was that there were no signs of burning, and all the parts were complete. When she sorted them carefully, Feng Qingxue felt that she could at least build a bunk bed, and maybe even a cabinet.
Then, she also saw a Western-style metal bed with signs of smashing.
Maybe it couldn't be dismantled, so it was transported to the scrap yard.
Not sure if it was copied from the same store, she also found a set of leather sofas in the style of the Republic of China. The leather surface was scratched by a sharp weapon, revealing the wood and springs inside, as if to find something.
In the end, what she took to Uncle Li to settle the bill were the bundles of furniture parts and some paper, pens and textbooks that could be taken out.
Red sandalwood is heavy, and Feng Qingxue spent a lot of money.
The reason she gave Uncle Li was that she was engaged and wanted to find some wood to make furniture as a dowry, which did not arouse suspicion.
