Chapter 38 It’s really irritating to compare people to others

Chapter 037

Married life is a mutual contribution between two people.

After Xiang Hui married Cheng Shijie, she began to work in a logistics unit affiliated to Hansteel Group. After giving birth to Cheng Jiayue, due to Cheng Jiayue's poor health, Xiang Hui resigned and became a full-time housewife, taking care of her children.

Yue is very sensible, otherwise Xiang Hui would go crazy.

Ever since Cheng Shijie bought this scrap collection station, Xiang Hui came to help when he had time. Although the business is not big, Xiang Hui has something to do.

Although she was more tired than before, Xiang Hui felt very fulfilled.

This buying station can be regarded as a collective of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. Cheng Shijie's grandfather Jiang Feng is already eighty-six years old. The only young man is actually Cheng Shijie's famous and cheap uncle Jiang Wenhua. Jiang Wenhua is three years younger than Cheng Shijie and has just turned thirty-two.

, but the problem is that he is a disabled person, and the mute uncle is almost fifty.

When Cheng Shijie rode an electric bike to the scrap collection station, he found that the scrap collection station had changed drastically. The original scrap collection station was actually a large garbage dump. It was not only dirty, but also messy. More importantly, it smelled.

The smell is very strong.

However, in just half a month, the original messy garbage pile has disappeared, replaced by neatly arranged paper products, plastic products, steel products, copper, aluminum products, as well as electromechanical, electronic and second-hand items

district.

Because Jiang Wenhua and Jiang Feng possess advanced home appliance repair skills, in just a few days, Jiang Wenhua used discarded electronic parts to repair an 8.6kg fully automatic washing machine and LCD TV.

There is also an Aucma cabinet air conditioner.

These restored electrical appliances filled the gaps in the electrical appliances in the room where he originally lived. Jiang Wenhua was a very clean person. He covered the walls with waste propaganda paintings and covered the floor with waste leather, giving the entire living area a brand new look.

The happiest person was actually Cheng Jiayue. A Benchi electric toy car that was sold as scrap was restored by Jiang Wenhua. Cheng Jiayue drove this toy car and ran around in the yard of the purchasing station.

"dad!"

Cheng Jiayue was very happy when she saw Cheng Shijie. She showed off her recent gains to Cheng Shijie. Three large boxes, at least hundreds of boxes of pencils, ballpoint pens, watercolor pens, markers, and crayons filled half the room.

Blank A4 paper, these A4 printing paper are from Woodpecker brand, not even unpacked.

Due to financial reasons, even if Cheng Shijie bought pencils, crayons and watercolor pens for Cheng Jiayue, he would only buy a few or a box, but he did not expect that she would find so many.

When Cheng Jiayue saw Cheng Shijie arriving, she stopped playing with the electric car. Instead, she showed Cheng Shijie her recent paintings. There were more than twenty abstract paintings.

Cheng Shijie, a waste collection station, has many specialized waste collectors who cooperate. The cartons they purchase from retail investors cost 30 cents per catty. The recycling station recycles them for 60 cents or 70 cents per catty, and then sells them for 1 yuan per catty.

The price of money is sold to a larger recycling station, and people come to collect it.

The gross profit per ton is more than 600 yuan. If retail investors come to sell it, it is 30 cents per catty, and the profit is 70 cents per catty. The profit of recycling plastic bottles is 90 cents per catty, and when sold, it is 90 cents per catty.

It costs one yuan and three pounds per catty, and the profit is four cents per catty.

Xiang Hui was obviously in a good mood. She used a calculator to calculate the accounts for Cheng Shijie: "We collected more than nine tons of paper products in seven days and earned 5,752 yuan. The electricity bill was 53.7 yuan and the water bill was 13.

Nine yuan, I spent 657.6 yuan on groceries, and I still have 5,026 yuan and 80 cents left."

Cheng Shijie looked at the mountains of plastic bottles and plastic products that had piled up. Although he didn't calculate, the pile seemed to be more than ten tons. According to the profit of more than 40 cents per kilogram of plastic, these plastic products should be sold for eight or nine thousand yuan.

RMB 1,000. On average, I can earn more than RMB 1,000 per day.

If a scrap collection station wants to make money, it can only collect more scraps and have a stable supply of supplies.

Watching the time passing by, there was no one in the entire scrap collection station who came to sell scraps. Seeing that they were about to arrive at the restaurant, Xiang Hui walked to the kitchen and started cooking.

Seeing Xiang Hui cooking, Cheng Shijie went over to help, only to find that Xiang Hui had cut seven or eight kilograms of pork and four or five heads of Chinese cabbage.

"With so much food, can you finish it?"

Xiang Hui smiled: "It may not be enough!"

Cheng Shijie washed his hands and said, "I'll do it!"

Xiang Hui looked at Cheng Shijie and said, "Just rest, you have lost weight recently!"

"Thin?"

Cheng Shijie has no feeling at all about his weight. Although he looks in the mirror every day, he can't feel thin. During this time in the late Ming Dynasty, his belt was not the belt of later generations. He could feel fat or thin through the belt.

Cheng Shijie walked to the scale in the courtyard. He was shocked when his weight was measured. His original weight was more than 130 kilograms, which is more than 260 kilograms. In just over half a month, his weight actually increased.

Lost more than thirty pounds.

This is a bit scary.

Xiang Hui cut the pork and said with some distress: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just eat what you have to eat. Didn't you say that? It won't save money!"

Cheng Shijie doesn't know the reason for his sudden weight loss. Is it because he traveled back and forth between time and space?

I don’t think about it so much. It’s actually better to be thin.

He took the pork, then skillfully passed it through the water, then boiled the sugar, put in the spices, and simmered over the fire. After a while, bursts of aroma came out of the big pot.

At this moment, the horn of an electric three-wheeler sounded at the door of the purchasing station.

An electric vehicle came to sell scraps. Jiang Wenhua pushed the wheelchair forward. Uncle Mute went to help. Just as they were weighing, more and more scavengers and scrap collectors came to the compound. Visual inspection

More than twenty people.

Grandpa, including Xiang Hui, went to help.

Cheng Shijie realized at this time that in order to attract these waste collectors and scrap collectors to sell scraps, Xiang Hui provided free meals without raising the price of scraps.

As prices rise, such a meal, including vegetables and meat, even the cheapest one, costs more than ten yuan. If you cook it yourself, the cost will only be five or six yuan.

The waste collection personnel save a meal, and the collection station can collect more waste, and everyone is happy.

Big business has a big business approach, and small business has a small business approach. After the weighing is completed, the scavengers and scrap collectors are settled with good money. These scrap collectors start washing their hands, setting the table, and getting ready to eat.

The food is actually very simple, just pork, cabbage and vermicelli, a big bowl for each person, steamed buns and rice for free. If you want to drink soup, there is tomato and egg soup for free.

The food was delicious when there were many people, and the large pot of pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew was completely eaten. As a result, several people selling scrap products showed up at this time.

Xiang Hui looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "We are not prepared enough today and there is not enough food to eat. Please wait a moment and we will do it again!"

While Cheng Shijie was cooking, Xiang Hui completed a few more transactions.

Xiang Hui took a calculator and introduced to Cheng Shijie: "I was pretty lucky today. I collected more than 3,700 kilograms of paper products and more than 2,600 kilograms of plastic products. I didn't look down on this kind of small business before.

I think small business can be quite profitable!”

Cheng Shijie asked: "Are you too busy to come over?"

"Come on, this job is going to be busy for a while!"

Xiang Hui lowered her voice and said: "In order to save a meal, they all calculated their time and came at the right time!"

Cheng Jiayue greeted everyone. She could now eat by herself. After finishing the meal, she washed the dishes. She wore rubber gloves and held a fork. She took Cheng Shijie's hand and said, "Dad, let's go find the baby!"

The purpose of opening this scrap collection station is actually to conceal the origin of copper coins and some jewelry. Cheng Shijie has a lot of gold and silver jewelry in his hands, which are of course the hard work of Ming Dynasty craftsmen.

Cheng Shijie and Cheng Jiayue began to look for treasures. When Cheng Jiayue was not paying attention, Cheng Shijie originally wanted to put the three gold necklaces and two gold bracelets he had brought over quietly into the scraps and give them to Xiang Hui in this way.

As a result, before Cheng Shijie had time to take action, Cheng Jiayue shouted loudly: "Dad, look, I found the baby!"

Cheng Jiayue opened a shoe box, which contained a large number of pearl necklaces. These necklaces were also packaged in transparent plastic bags. Cheng Shijie thought they were plastic necklaces and were worthless, so he picked one up and took a look: "This... is actually real.

?”

"What really?"

Cheng Shijie handed the pearl necklace to Xiang Hui: "See for yourself!"

Xiang Hui looked at the necklace and smiled: "Jia Yue is really lucky!"

The quality of these pearl necklaces can only be considered average. Although they are real pearls, they cost only a few hundred yuan each. Cheng Shijie counted a total of 16 pearls, which can be worth several thousand yuan.

"Ouch……"

Cheng Jiayue tripped over a black iron ingot and fell on the carton.

Cheng Shijie's eyes fell on the black iron ingot: "This is not iron, it's aluminum!"

"I collected it by pressing the iron!"

"Making a lot of money!"

Cheng Shijie laughed and said: "One pound of aluminum can buy at least seven or eight pounds of iron!"

While the scavengers and scrap collectors left the scrap collection station, Cheng Shijie lowered his voice and said, "Wife!"

"What?"

"Look!"

"This is……"

"Shh..."

Xiang Hui looked at the necklace and bracelet in Cheng Shijie's hand: "Is this true?"

"have no idea!"

"How about I go to the gold shop and let people take a look!"

"good"
