Chapter 115 Learn something 3
Feng Qingxue did not stay at Xu's house. After the food was delivered, she sent a letter to Lu Jiang and then went to the scrap collection station.
She had long noticed that the scrap collection station often received a lot of new scrap.
As Father Lu said, no matter whether it is a scrap collection depot in the county or in the city, although it is not that there are no antiques, calligraphy and paintings, there are very few that are particularly precious, light, easy to carry and hide.
Some were destroyed and taken away during house searches, while others were intercepted after arriving at the scrap station.
Since ancient times, the most indispensable thing is people with knowledge, vision and courage.
No wonder I went hunting for treasure at a junkyard for the first time and found not many valuable books, calligraphy and paintings. At that time, I thought it was because there were few rich people in the place where I lived, so there were no good things.
The most common items found in scrapyards are recyclable materials such as paper, copperware, ironware, and wood. Paper is various textbooks, newspapers, periodicals, and thread-bound books. Although 90% of the books, calligraphy and paintings are from the old days, they are all common in the market. There is no special cultural relic value, but there is a higher chance of finding antiques among the copper, iron, and wood.
No, as soon as Feng Qingxue entered the scrap yard, she saw a bronze tripod that was half a man tall. Unfortunately, she couldn't buy it openly, nor could she sneak it into the space because the target was too big and would be easily destroyed if lost. personnel discovered.
Feng Qingxue let out a sigh of regret and went to look for other scraps.
However, there are many thread-bound ancient books in the scrap station today, which should have been shipped in the same batch. Most of them are official editions of the Qing Dynasty, and there are also Chinese and foreign classics printed in modern times. Although they are not unique copies, they are still valuable.
There are also valuable books, but the number is very small. As for calligraphy and painting, I have not found them to be of great value.
Feng Qingxue likes reading very much. She is a true bookworm and quickly smuggles the books she likes into space.
It wasn't that she wanted to steal it, it was because these books couldn't be taken away from the scrapyard.
Suddenly an idea struck, Feng Qingxue took out two large coupons and walked to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, just now I was rummaging through the waste paper pile to find what I needed, and I found a book with twenty yuan in it."
"What? You found money in the waste paper pile?" Uncle Li was extremely surprised. Why didn't he encounter such a good thing?
Feng Qingxue smiled slightly, "Yes, Uncle Li, so I gave the money to the scrapyard."
"Okay, I'll hand it over." Uncle Li accepted the money and happily praised her spirit of not losing money.
Feng Qingxue consciously alleviated her guilt and returned to the scrap pile to continue searching for treasure.
After searching for books, calligraphy and paintings, she also found a lot of furniture parts that were smashed to pieces. They were small-leaf red sandalwood with carved flowers. The most rare thing was that there were no scorch marks, and there were no missing parts. When she sorted them carefully, Feng Qingxue felt that she could at least put together a canopy bed, and maybe even a cabinet.
Then, she also saw a Western-style metal bed with signs of damage.
Maybe it couldn't be dismantled, so the whole thing was transported to the scrap yard.
She didn't know if it was copied from the same house, but she also found a set of leather sofas with a very Republican style. The leather surface was scratched by sharp objects, exposing the wood and springs inside, as if she was looking for something.
What finally came to Uncle Li to check out were the bundles of furniture parts and some pen and paper textbooks that could be taken out.
The red sandalwood was heavy and cost Feng Qingxue a lot of money.
The reason she gave Uncle Li was that she was engaged and wanted to find some wood to make furniture for the dowry, which did not arouse any suspicion.
