Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 65

It is said that the mother is worried about the children, and the old lady is the same as the grandmother.

Xu Nannan took the boiled egg and stuffed it into the bag, making it even more soaking in hot water in his heart. Take advantage of the good health of the two elders now, go out and run more. When the two elders need someone to take care of them in the future, it is better to go out as little as possible.

I took the train at night, got boiled eggs, and bought two steamed buns with no food stamps, which was considered to be a good meal.

Filled with a big cup of boiling water and full of food and drink, Xu Nannan lay in the sleeping berth, feeling very comfortable. Looking out the window, thinking about the big Shanghai in the 1960s, he didn't know what it was like.

With a ding-dong, there is another news from the Taobao store.

Xu Nannan lifted his spirits, immediately lay down and pretended to sleep, and began to check the dialog box.

It's the person who bought the bronze last time.

Xu Nannan was surprised, isn't he buying fakes and wanting to return them. Looking at it again, it really wasn't. People asked her to help pay attention to such copperware again.

Regardless of the age, anyway, as long as the bronze.

This is not difficult. In this era, a lot of bronze wares are sold at home. After all, bronze wares are sold more than books. In this era of food shortage, when there is not enough food, there is nothing unhappy to be able to turn these ‘broken copper and iron’ into food.

Naturally, Xu Nannan would not let go of this long-term business. When I was about to reply to the message, my head suddenly felt bright and I immediately responded, "This is no problem. I often collect this kind of antiques. But can you do me a favor? I help you collect antiques, and you too Help me collect some things."

"what?"

"I'm not sure now. It may be inconvenient for me to contact you. Or we can make an appointment and contact you once a week."

Contacting once a week is not an excessive request. The other party agreed without much thought.

Xu Nannan happily gave another embarrassed expression, "Can you register for a Taobao store? I will place an order in your Taobao store for what you need at that time."

The man on the other side frowned. What's this requirement?

Xu Nannan sent a begging expression, "My dear, I will have another batch of goods soon, and the color is very good. Let's make friends, can I give you the best one?" The empty check was opened first. .

"..."

"Dear, okay?" Xu Nannan made a pleased request.

The other party seemed to be a little unbearable, and sent an arrogant expression, "Okay~"

Xu Nannan immediately sent a big hug and passed by.

After an appointment seven days later, they contacted again at this time, and the two parties hung up the news. Although Xu Nannan wanted to ask the other party what was going on there, but he didn't know why, as long as the information related to this aspect could not be sent, it seemed to be restricted by certain laws.

Forget it, it's useless to know it anyway.

Xu Nannan turned over and was in a very good mood.

Although there are a lot of things in Taobao, you can't guarantee that you won't be able to buy the things you need any time. Leaving this thread is an extra layer of protection anyway.

After spending three days on the train, I finally arrived at Shanghai Station.

After leaving the train station, Xu Nannan discovered that she had also been very low-key before.

Look at these Shanghai lesbians. They are either in Lenin or knitted cardigans. Some are wearing bragi on the inside and sweaters and coats on the outside. Some lesbians have their hair permed with small hairpins on them and on their feet. Wearing small leather shoes, people are at the forefront of the times.

Xu Nannan thought about the braids, ponytails, and short hair on the Nanjiang River. Who would dare to perm? No one caught it, and it wasn't to that level. It's just that people were embarrassed to burn it. Whose young girl’s daughter-in-law has permed her hair, she is pretty or pretty, and she can't lift her head up when people say behind her back.

Now looking at the blue straight-leg pants and military jacket on my body, they are quite neat in Nanjiang, but they look a bit dirty in the boundary of others.

Let's go to the hometown once.

Xu Nannan thought heartily.

Not everyone is beautiful, I am ugly, that is too attractive. We have to follow the trend.

To comfort myself, Xu Nan Nanxing hurriedly found the guest house and asked for a private room.

Then I found a blue cardigan, white one-piece dress, hair... or braid.

After changing his outfit, Xu Nannan bought another full-length mirror and looked at it vigorously.

I felt that there was nothing wrong with my whole body. I threw the full-length mirror into Taobao, went out with the bag, walked to the door, and remembered what, turned around and closed the door, looked around Taobao, and finally found important equipment— —Mao~Lord~Xi Xiangzhang.

Say goodbye to your own chest, now you look decent.

We are definitely the top ten young people who love the party and the country.

It was just noon at this time, I touched my hungry belly, and didn't rush to look for antiques at all. I asked someone to inquire about the nearby restaurant and went straight to the best state-owned restaurant nearby.

It is not the same as the state-owned restaurant in the county seat. There are round tables in the lobby, and there are menus on the tables. Apart from having to go to the window to order food, it looks like a restaurant in the future.

Open onion oil noodles, Nanxiang Xiaolong, three fresh wontons, chicken and duck blood soup...

Just looking at the name of the dish above, I drool. In the county town, the best food is braised pork...The international metropolis surely deserves its reputation. No matter when, they are always at the forefront. Even the food supply is so abundant.

Well, I have to stay here for a few days. Today I will eat Xiaolong, and tomorrow I will eat noodles...

It took two national stamps in twos and threes, and finally went out to eat and drink.

This trip is right.

Xu Nannan touched his stomach with emotion.

After walking for a while, I felt that my stomach was not supporting that much. Xu Nannan took out the purchase order and went to some nearby department stores to inquire about parts. As expected, no.

Xu Nannan is not in a hurry at all, these things can also be found in Taobao, but there are a few special accessories that don't seem to be found. However, if you can take a part of it back, it should be considered a business trip.

I looked at my watch. It was already past four in the afternoon.

I found a taxi and went directly to the recycling station.

Compared with the last time I was on a business trip in the capital city of the neighboring province, the recycling station in Greater Shanghai has a dazzling array of things in it. If you don't make it clear, I can't believe it is a waste recycling station.

That kind of beverage plastic bottles, canned bottles. Industrial materials, here-I don't see them. At this time, industrial products are all rare materials, and they are all recycled, and the bad ones can't be broken before they will be considered for recycling.

At the door stood a middle-aged **** in blue overalls.

Xu Nannan walked in and grabbed a handful of melon seeds. "Sister, I want to find some study books for my younger siblings at home, okay?"

When I heard that I was buying old books, the blue-clothed eldest sister didn't doubt it. At this time, many of them couldn't afford new textbooks, so they came here to search for old books. He smiled and nodded, "Go, find it yourself, don't mess around." Then he tucked the melon seeds into his pants pocket.

Xu Nannan walked towards a pile of books, and while picking up learning materials for Xu Xiaoman, he stared at other things.

"Why is this useless for me? This is good material, and I can still make things. With the good material, the bed alone cost a lot...a lot of money."

"That's it for you, what can we do after receiving it? We can't even do a stool. It's not easy to deal with it after turning it over."

Just as he was arguing, the blue-clad elder sister at the door was arguing.

The other comrades in there didn't see anything to take care of, and they were obviously not surprised by this matter.

Xu Nannan glanced back. It was an old aunt wearing an old Lenin outfit who was arguing with the blue-clothed eldest sister holding a wooden pole long.

"I said Auntie Joe, it's not that I won't help you, this material really can't be collected. You might as well take the copper and iron at home and sell it, and I can still collect it for you."

Aunt Qiao, who wore a white-washed Lenin costume, frowned and all her folds came out. "Why don't you have those things at home, haven't you handed them in early."

"Oh, just go and lie to others. When people took the house, you could get the wood off the bed, but wouldn't you take the other things?"

No one will really hand in all the belongings at home, just turn one eye and close one eye. After all, no one has done any bad things before, and there is no need to rush to exterminate them.

"How do you sell this material?" Xu Nannan walked over and stared at the material nicely.

If she didn't read it wrong, the material should be Nanmu.

Xu Nannan had never had the chance to touch any high-end woods before, they were all things played by the rich. However, in order to cultivate some elegant sentiments for herself, she learned the Guzheng and bought a Nanmu Guzheng.

The phoebe material is naturally not good, but the price is very expensive. During that time, in order not to suffer a loss, she checked a lot of Nanmu information.

Although the material in front of me looked gray, but I felt familiar at first glance. When I approached it, I looked at it, obediently... it seems that there is still a faint golden thread.

Aunt Joe took a look at her, "You want this?"

The blue-clothed elder sister said, "What are you going to do when you buy this? No one wants it when the firewood burns."

"Good ingredients!" Aunt Joe said in dissatisfaction.

"Good ingredients can't be used as a meal. If it is thicker, the public can do something else. You board, I can't make a small bench."

"That's a good idea," Xu Nannan nodded. "My grandfather really wants to get some materials and go back to make a bench. It's a good size."

This isn't a lie. When Grandpa Yu really said this, she just listened. Well, take it back and make it into a small bench. How much is the golden nanmu small bench worth?

"Auntie, how much is this, I want it."

Aunt Qiao's face suddenly burst into a smile, "Five cents, you just take it away."

"Five cents? You can cut a few kilos of meat. A small bench doesn't cost this price."

"I'm good stuff."

Aunt Qiao said confidently and insisted on this point.

Xu Nannan thinks that fifty cents is not expensive, but if she doesn't bargain, she might be considered stupid by others.

"How about three cents?"

"Okay!" Aunt Joe agreed without saying a word.

Xu Nannan: "..."

After paying the money, this material belongs to Xu Nannan. This is the only "baby" I know, although I don't know how much she is worth.

Putting the nanmu aside, Xu Nannan picked a pile of books and added a pile of ‘broken copper and iron’ and ran to weigh it.

The blue-clothed eldest sister was stunned, obviously she didn't understand what the little girl was doing with so much waste.

Xu Nannan smiled shyly, "The elderly at home like copper products. Go back and see if they can be melted into a copper basin or something, this thing is durable."

The reason is very good and powerful. It's not reliable at first. The eldest sister in blue didn't want to ask more. Anyway, the accounts are correct.

There was quite a lot of stuff, and Xu Nannan carried it out with difficulty.

It is not easy to be a cultural relics dealer these days, and to be a coolie.

After checking the time, it was late. Xu Nannan walked to the side of the road and was about to beckon for a car. Just now, Aunt Qiao suddenly walked over.

"Little comrade, you buy this material for home, not to make a bench." Aunt Qiao looked into the world with an insightful expression.

Xu Nannan said seriously, "It's really a bench." It just needs to be carved from the top to make a beautiful small bench. There is material, willful.

Aunt Qiao doesn’t believe me, "I just saw it, and you picked some old things in it... You take those things back and remove them from the collection, but they are of no use. Don’t worry, I know, my old man, that’s good for this one. There is no place to spend money to search for treasures. I was thinking of going to the capital to get some treasures from the Forbidden City."

This is still a big capitalist. Xu Nannan looked at Aunt Qiao in surprise.

This is a living big capitalist.

Well, in front of smart people, we won't pretend, anyway, it's not an illegal thing, and it's still not broken. Can you still catch her for this? "Actually, my grandfather also likes this. He teaches and does some research on it."

My grandfather is in Nanjiang County, you can ask him.

Aunt Qiao looked at the side, and then leaned over, "I won't tell you much, just in front of the West Street, I'm sweeping the floor in that area. If you have time tomorrow, come to me at noon."

Xu Nannan moved in his heart, a little uncertain, "Auntie, please be clear."

"Just the broken copper and rotten iron," Aunt Qiao glanced at the package near Xu Nannan's feet, "We have it in our house. It's good."

Xu Nannan jumped cautiously.

"If you can really be the master, come to me." After speaking, he turned around and walked away.

Xu Nannan stood there for three seconds, then quickly turned around, holding his timber calmly to call for the car, got in the car, and returned to the guest house!

After getting off the bus, the first thing is to find an alley that no one notices and throw things into Taobao.

After finding a restaurant to eat absently, Xu Nannan hurried back to the guest house.

After rinsing casually, lying on the bed, Xu Nannan kept thinking about what the old aunt said just now.

Will you go tomorrow?

going or not?

going.

go with……

After making a decision, I can sleep soundly at night. I woke up in the morning and wore a military green jacket, blue pants and Jiefang shoes.

Easy to run...do hard work.

I got in the car and arrived at the waste recycling station yesterday. I turned around and turned to West Street.

Without deliberately looking for it, I saw Aunt Joe who was waving a big broom vigorously.

This old aunt looks very motivated.

Xu Nannan waited for her to sweep over before yelling, "Aunt Qiao."

Aunt Qiao looked back and saw that it was her. She immediately looked at both sides and whispered, "Wait until I finish scanning this."

Xu Nannan gave in to the side and watched her continue to sweep the floor backwards.

After she had finished seeing the scenery of most of the street, Aunt Qiao came over with sweat.

"Can be the master?"

"can."

Aunt Qiao carried a big broom and walked through an alley, and saw a courtyard, the kind of three-entry courtyard that I lived in in the past. At this time, the yard was full of clothes, and several children were playing in it. Aunt Qiao didn't enter the inner courtyard either, so she entered the door on the front side.

"Before, this was the porter's bed. The women had to live in the innermost courtyard. Now I don't care about this."

In the room, a little boy is lying in bed sleeping. It looks very peaceful.

Aunt Joe went over and touched his head.

"I was sick for a few days, and I was clamoring for meat yesterday."

"What about his parents, how come no one takes care of him, just leave him alone?"

"It's all those who can't be wronged, I've done it myself." She said, smiling sarcastically, turned around and went into a darkroom inside, and closed the door.

"..."

Xu Nannan didn't follow up either, but looked at the child. Seeing that his face was a little red, he felt a little fever after touching it.

Just thinking about it, the darkroom door opened wide. Aunt Joe is holding a small wooden box in her hand.

"Look at it, how about this?" Aunt Joe opened the box, wrapped it in a kerchief, and opened it again, revealing an emerald bracelet.

It's that Xu Nannan has never studied this thing, and knows it is good material.

"This is what I married back then." Aunt Qiao was proud of her face.

In the old society, it was really a wealthy family to be able to marry with this thing.

Xu Nannan didn't get started either, just looked at it carefully. Regardless of true or false, this thing is pretty pretty. And she intuitively felt it was true.

"Aunt Joe, how are you going to make a price for this?"

Aunt Qiao looked at the bracelet and said with a smile, "If it had been in the past, it would have been possible to change to a small foreign house. Now... a hundred yuan."

Xu Nannan's salary is now more than 30, and this one hundred yuan is only three months' salary.

According to the algorithm of the 21st century, her position is at least 4,000 yuan, and her salary for three months is more than 10,000 yuan. It's worth buying a bracelet made of such a good material!

Just as Xu Nannan was about to nod, Aunt Qiao said again, "Not only money, but also food stamps. Fifty catties of food stamps."

Xu Nannan hesitated for a moment, "... OK." Looking at the child lying on the bed, she didn't make a good bargain.

Pay with one hand and deliver with one hand. It became his own thing. Xu Nannan took the bracelet and looked carefully. The more he looked at it, the warmer he felt, and his head was full of water.

Put things away and Xu Nannan is ready to leave. You have to put things away quickly. Otherwise, when she walks to the door uneasy, she suddenly remembered something, "Aunt Qiao, you still don't want to do this kind of transaction with people casually in the future."

In any case, the old and the young will live their lives in peace.

Aunt Qiao smiled, "You little girl, you are a rare good person. I have lived for most of my life, but this is not the only thing I can see."

Said picking up the child on the bed, "I have to send the child to the hospital for treatment. If it weren't for this little ancestor, I wouldn't be able to sell the dowry."

Xu Nannan followed her, walked out of the courtyard gate, and then left and right, moving further and further away.

Back at the guest house, carefully looked at the bracelet in his hand.

Put it on Taobao, still no price. If this is true, it is really an invaluable treasure. It is estimated that it cannot be sold, and no one will buy such expensive things on Taobao. But even if you don’t sell it, it’s useful to keep it for later. This thing can only add value.

I don't know if there are any other treasures in this Aunt Joe's house, but even if there are, she is not in a hurry to sell them now. People are not stupid, it is impossible to sell everything cheaply. She even felt that these things were definitely not hidden at home. Otherwise, it won't be taken out so quickly. It can only be prepared first.

Throwing the jade bracelet into the Taobao shop, Xu Nannan leaned on the bed and squinted, and began to enter the Taobao shop to sort out the pile of ‘scraps’ bought yesterday.

For those that can roughly estimate the value, the price is marked, and the price is not marked at all if you can't estimate it by yourself.

Anyway, there are hundreds of thousands in Taobao stores. This money is enough for now. If you can’t sell it, you won’t suffer a loss if you keep it.

Xu Nannan was thinking, and the dialog box popped up again, "Sure enough, there are new products."

It was the buyer who agreed to contact once a week.

Xu Nannan's spirit came immediately and hurriedly replied, "Dear, you are quite fast this time."

"You said there are new products, I have been watching."

"Then your Taobao store is open yet?"

I lost a link over there. Xu Nannan was embarrassed, "Can't open the link.

The other party put on a look of contempt, and came over without a name, ‘Yuelai Inn’.

Xu Nannan immediately clicked on it and found that there were really a few goods and pictures of old books inside. And it's a textbook...

"Chinese Archaeology", "General Theory of Archaeology"...Well, this one is still a talent.

Back in his shop, Xu Nannan found that the few bronze wares he had just marked had been bought. And it's the same buyer.

"Other quick price tags."

Xu Nannan said, "You make a price." Anyway, I have to contact this Chang in the future, and she doesn't mind making a profit. The point is that she can't guarantee the price of this thing.

It's true over there, two copper wine glasses and one copper pot, for 20,000 yuan. In addition, I lost a bunch of popular science knowledge on bronzes. Anyway, these few things are not very valuable, but they are helpful for studying folk customs.

Xu Nannan didn't bargain, and only received fifteen thousand, and the other copper cup was given directly to the other party. "I have some mechanical parts that need to be customized. I don't know if it is not convenient for you."

"What mechanical parts."

Xu Nannan quickly sent the specifications on the purchase order. Even the material requirements have been sent.

After a while, "No problem."

I made an appointment to contact again tomorrow. Xu Nannan was about to close the Taobao store, when the other party's dialog box popped up again, "Wait, do you still sell jade in the store?"

"Ok."

"How to sell?! If I read it right, this should be an emerald. If only you can see the real thing. Is this true?"

"……Yes it is."

"How are you going to set the price? You can get this quality jade bracelet on Taobao." This tone looked a little bit distressed.

Don't look down on the almighty big Taobao, OK, if I don't put the baby in it, how can you find the treasure?

So Xu Nannan sent a message, "I'll just let it go for fun, and I'm not going to sell it."

"..."

After closing the dialog box, Xu Nannan opened his eyes, "I really can't bear to sell it. Such a good thing is so good to be an heirloom."

After making a small profit, getting another family heirloom, and finding a helper, Xu Nannan felt refreshed.

Early the next morning, after having a beautiful breakfast, Xu Nannan became busy again. Got to buy Braji, buy small leather shoes...
