Chapter 150: A Net to Catch Everything

Hearing Li Xuewu say to start from the children, a few of them couldn't quite turn their minds around.

Erhai asked with some doubt, "What can children have?"

Li Xuewu looked at Erhai and said, "Usually when you collect scrap, the adults are at work, and only the children are at home. Who do you think can sell you scrap?"

Erhai spread his hands, "Small children don't recognize money."

Li Xuewu smiled mysteriously: "Firecrackers at the supply and marketing cooperative don't need tickets, Xinhua doesn't need tickets, pig trotters, pig tails, and pig offal at the supply and marketing cooperative don't need tickets, 20 cents a jin, and cigarettes under 50 cents don't need tickets."

This seemed to open a door for the few, and they saw a new world.

Wen San'er muttered, "Firecrackers and comic books can be exchanged for scrap with children, pig trotters and pig offal can be braised and exchanged for scrap with old men and women, and cigarettes without tickets can be exchanged for scrap with young people. Except for the men in the house, basically everything is caught in one net."

Li Xuewu "Heh" and said, "The head of the household has been at work all day, and has to sell scrap when he gets home? Shouldn't the wife and children be beaten?"

Hahahaha!

Everyone showed a smile, and Wen San'er was no longer frowning. As long as a train of thought was guided, this guy could open a Silk Road for you.

Da Lao sat on the edge of the kang, smoking a pipe, and said, "It's convenient to set up a pot at home, and it's also convenient to receive children's scrap. I'll exchange it at home with these things that need tickets."

Li Xuewu watched everyone diverging their thinking in this direction and gave a reminder: "Our customer base is still small, so we have to wait for the braised goods, but we can try the water first with sugar balls and comic books that are easy to store."

Wen San'er said at the right time, "Then the braised goods have to cost more!"

Da Lao smiled "Heh," "Tomorrow you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to get some firecrackers and sugar balls. I can exchange them sitting at home."

Li Xuewu said to Old Biaozi, "When the time comes, go find Director Ma. We'll collect all the auxiliary meat from the supply and marketing cooperative in the future. Boil the ones with bones and freeze them at home to exchange, and braise the internal organs without bones and sell them in jars. I put the last inventory of vegetables, as well as wine, in the warehouse in the east room. In the future, you can use braised goods and wine to exchange for scrap when you go out, or you can exchange tickets, but pay attention to hygiene."

Li Xuewu took advantage of the night a few days ago to clear out all the goods in the space and pile them in the warehouse in the east room, just to make it convenient to ship goods.

As for the safety issue, all doors and windows had been nailed with boards, and only the door facing the sleeping room could be entered and exited.

Wen San'er knew about the things in the warehouse and asked in a low voice, "Are there still things in the warehouse by the railway?"

Li Xuewu knew he was asking where he had transported them from. He extinguished the cigarette butt, shook his head, and said, "No, except for what I use myself, they are all here."

When Wen San'er went to see the warehouse yesterday, he was frightened by the stacks of rice and white flour, not to mention the piles of potatoes, cabbage, and radishes.

Li Xuewu tapped the table and said, "If you want to collect eggs, go down and collect them. Ride the tricycle. Go once every Saturday. Set a time with the agent. No one will notice you with four tricycles. If you are checked, just say you are purchasing for the recycling station."

Wen San'er nodded, "Understood, these customers can't be let go for too long, must keep up."

Li Xuewu nodded, "Maintain it with rice and white flour. If anyone wants radishes, cabbage, or potatoes, sell some of those too. I estimate that the letter from the Northeast will arrive after the New Year, so we must prepare early."

Wen San'er said in a low voice, "We still have more than 4,000 yuan in hand. We spent some on repairing the house and tricycles, and we four spent some on buying clothes."

Li Xuewu pointed to the account book and said, "Record it all in the account. I'm not afraid of you eating or wearing it, just record it so it's easy to calculate later."

Li Xuewu had always used the money given by the Xiao family to repair the house and handle affairs, and the money from selling pears last time had all been handed over to the account.

Seeing that it was about time, the few stopped talking about this and gathered together to discuss which areas were good to walk in today, where people were selling things, and where there were other scrap collection stations.

Li Xuewu didn't care about them. Now the team had slowly learned to develop on their own. Just guide their thinking from time to time. Now he was just waiting for Master Dou to finalize the matter of the house in the back courtyard.

Around 7:30 in the evening, Master Dou came with a small box on his back. Erhai wanted to pour water for him, but he didn't let him.

"Alright, don't be busy. I drank water at home. Let's go see the house first, then you give your opinion. Let's finalize it now so I can start construction tomorrow."

Master Dou could be considered to have caught a big fish this winter. Originally, winter was the time when it was hardest to get work, just doing some furniture to earn money. Who would have thought he would run into a big customer.

Seeing Master Dou was attentive, Li Xuewu didn't stand on ceremony and took him to the back courtyard. People they met on the way all knew Master Dou, who had been working here for several days, and didn't ask anything.

Entering the back courtyard, Master Dou first looked at the structure of the house and turned around, only then following Li Xuewu into the room.

The Xu family's house is a three-room side-wing layout, which is considered a pretty good position; it sits facing east with its back to the west, receiving more sunlight than the Second Master's house.

Li Xuewu stood in the living room, pointed to the kitchen and storage room on the north side, and said, "Partition the north room into three parts. The east-west ratio is 2:3, and the north-south ratio is 2:3. Build a stove and cabinets in the northeast corner room, and then make hanging cabinets. Connect the stove to the bathtub in the bathroom on the west side. Change the path of the tap water in this room."

He walked to the kitchen position, pointed to the door, and said, "The wind is strong in winter, and it's not private when opening the door in summer. Install a porch at the door, open the indoor opening to the north, and walk in a Z-shape."

"Make a bathtub, squat toilet, and washbasin in the bathroom. You can handle the materials. If you really can't find them, tell me." ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
