Chapter 86: Buying a Pile of Junk
However, Wang An didn't want to ask for more. Things had been agreed upon, so there was no need to go back on his word!
And the acquisition price of the supply and marketing cooperative wasn't even that much! Besides, the relationship was considered quite good, so it really wasn't worth it!
Wang An's attitude was firm, but he said with a smile: "The relationship has reached this point, so why add more! Let's just leave it at that!"
As he said this, he simply looked at the money, didn't count it, and put the money into his pocket!
Seeing Wang An's casual attitude toward the money they gave, the three proved Wang An's trust in them. In fact, second-generation kids all wanted face.
Plus Wang An's firm refusal to add money, it also made the three of them have a little more heart to make friends with Wang An!
Actually, just as Wang An thought, it was also what the three of them thought. Before, the relationship between everyone was just an ordinary friend relationship where each took what they needed, but now, it had officially started to change!
Wang An didn't intend to stay long and continued to say with a smile: "Then about the bullets, I won't be polite. You three see who can find them for me?"
Hearing this, the three of them all laughed, and the previous embarrassment was gone!
Actually, only when there is mutual utility value can one be friends. In the adult world, how can there be so much purity!
Wu Dong turned and left the house, not knowing where he went. After a while, he moved a box into the house, placed the box on the ground, and it made a "clunk" sound. Listening to the sound, this box seemed quite heavy!
Wang An didn't dawdle either, stepped forward to open the box, oh my god!
How many bullets were there? Large 54s, 56-semi-automatics, and a lot of Mosin-Nagants. Half a box of 56-semi-automatics, and the same amount of large 54s and Mosin-Nagants, adding up to half a box!
They were all packed in paper boxes similar to matchbox material. The scattered ones on top were used to distinguish what kind of bullets they were! This box of bullets was clearly temporarily put together into a box!
It should be 2000 bullets in boxes, and these scattered ones were 1000 56-semi-automatic bullets, and 500 each of large 54s and Mosin-Nagants! This quantity was truly not small!
Calculated at the supply and marketing cooperative's selling price of 1 mao per bullet, these were worth 200 yuan. This damn wasn't a small amount!
This time it was Wang An's turn to be embarrassed! But before Wang An could speak.
Wu Dong directly said with a smile: "Brother, if it's not enough, come to me. There are plenty of bullets."
Wang An smiled, moved the bullets, and then said: "Okay then, we'll see each other in the future!"
After speaking, he turned and left. This box was truly quite heavy, weighing over a hundred jin!
The three sent Wang An out the door. He Liang said: "If we have time, we'll go hunting in the mountains with you. You can't not take us."
Wang An smiled and said: "That's a small matter!"
He put the bullet box into a broken sack, then put it on the sled, greeted the three, and Wang An drove the sled away!
Arriving at the county town, he naturally had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Besides selling guns, Wang An also wanted to buy some things that didn't need tickets.
As expected, the two hanging tubes sold for a total of 240 yuan. Looking at a pile of things he wanted to buy but needed tickets for, Wang An shook his head helplessly.
Arriving at the counter selling watches and wall clocks, Wang An directly asked: "Big sister, may I ask, do you have any watches and wall clocks that don't need tickets?"
It was afternoon, and there weren't many people buying things. The saleswoman big sister seemed to have nothing to do and pointed to a pile of broken wall clocks in the corner outside the counter: "That pile doesn't need tickets, and it's cheap, junk price."
Wang An looked at this pile of junk-priced things, and his eyebrows directly frowned into a "chuan" shape!
This pile of junk-priced things was truly "junk." In this era, waste recycling stations were all state-run, and state-run units, how could they come to collect them! Take it or leave it!
The wall clocks of this era were just rectangular wooden boxes, with a wooden frame door in front, inlaid with glass. Inside was the dial, with an hour hand and a minute hand, no second hand. The scale wasn't numbers, all were large and small vertical bars. On the dial, there were two eyes on the left and right, which were used to wind the spring, and there was a pendulum below!
Wang An squatted down and rummaged through it, and he really saw a wall clock whose pendulum was still swinging.
It was just that the glass was broken, and the wooden frame was deformed by water. The movement of the wall clock should be fine. He put this one aside, found another one with a complete frame and glass but no pendulum, and also put it aside, and found two more that looked quite good, just didn't know what was broken!
A total of four, costing 4 yuan. The rest were all too horrible to look at! No need to study them! If there were tickets for new ones, they were only 15 yuan!
He asked for a large piece of fine hemp rope and bundled the four wall clocks together.
Wang An asked again: "Big sister, do you have any watches that don't need tickets?"
The saleswoman looked at Wang An. He looked like a mountain person, and then said nonchalantly: "Yes, imported goods entrusted for sale by the city, 200 each." Maybe she thought Wang An couldn't afford it, and after saying this, she ignored Wang An!
In this era, bicycles were 125, sewing machines were 135, and domestic Shanghai brand watches with tickets were 25 yuan!
Wang An thought of Mu Xueqing and said: "Take two!"
The saleswoman was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and took out two watches packed in paper boxes.
After Wang An handed over the money and took a look, he was instantly shocked. It was actually a Plum Blossom brand watch!
Wang An knew this watch brand very well, because it was considered a very low-key luxury item, and it was very sturdy and durable. One watch could be passed down for three generations without any problems!
And in a certain museum, a watch of this brand was displayed. It was a combat hero who wore it when fighting the Japanese. It was said that it could still tick!
Among Wang An's watches in his past life, there was the Plum Blossom brand!
Thinking for a moment, Wang An thought of his parents and brother-in-law, and then said: "Take three more for me!" As he said this, he started to take out money again!
This time the saleswoman was completely stunned. What kind of damn spendthrift was this, spending 1000 yuan to buy five watches!
Wang An had already handed over the money, but the saleswoman was still staring at Wang An in a daze.
It wasn't until Wang An shouted "Big sister" that this saleswoman reacted and unhurriedly took out three more watches!
Winding the springs of the five watches and calibrating the time, Wang An turned and left. Vaguely, he heard the sounds of "they've been here for over a year," "finally sold," and "spendthrift" coming from behind!
Wang An didn't pay attention and came to the radio counter. He naturally couldn't buy new ones without tickets, so he could only buy "junk." However, Wang An didn't care about this. For similar ones, Wang An could fix them all!
He directly packed all 5 "junk" ones and spent 30 yuan, still tying them with hemp rope.
The current radios were about the same size as wall clocks, just wooden boxes, about 60 centimeters long, with a pile of semiconductor accessories welded onto a quite large and thick circuit board. The bottom of the wooden box was equipped with 4 No. 1 batteries, and there was also a power cord to plug in the power, but the village didn't have electricity, so he could only use batteries!
Batteries weren't cheap either, 3 mao each. Fortunately, they didn't need tickets. Wang An directly bought 40! Mainly because these radios were particularly wasteful of batteries. If you listened to them all the time, 4 batteries would be out of power in half a day!
When he moved this big pile of things to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang An also bought 3 boxes of malted milk, 4 boxes of canned food, 6 bundles of soda, and 20 jin of biscuits!
Thinking for a moment, he bought 20 cloth bags. He had to use these things to pack bear gall. When he saw that pile of "junk," he went to buy a pile of screwdrivers of various sizes. Fortunately, these things belonged to unpopular goods, and basically no one bought them, so they didn't need tickets!
When everything was moved to the sled, he found a few people wandering around nearby.
There were more and more junk people!
The data is sparse, and the heart is cold!
Dear big bosses who like it, follow the read. If you have tickets, throw some! Thank you!
