Chapter 1446 【1445】Arhat Eight Immortals 3000

Ding Wei always likes to go to waste purchasing stations to search for treasures every now and then. She has found many ancient books in recent years, but there are not many decent antiques. Even if there are, they are not intact. She is too lazy to make trouble with her poor appearance, mainly because she subconsciously looks down on her because she has the confidence to make herself a rich man, so there are flaws and some look down on her.

Waste purchase stations are usually hidden in the corners of the city. The yard is filled with wind-drying bottles, jars or daily necessities, tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, and books are piled in the room.

Ding Wei not only goes to the acquisition station in the county town, but also goes to the provincial capital and the city. However, she has little time and rarely has time to wander around one by one, so she has not found anything valuable over the years.

But what she never expected was that she would see Sister Caisang, who was married and should work in a textile factory at the scrap purchase station.

Ding Caisang was obviously a staff member here because she was sitting in a place that had been charged for money. When she saw her, she was obviously nervous and a little embarrassed.

"Vivi, why are you here?"

"Sister, have you changed jobs?"

Caisang felt even more embarrassed, but nodded: "This is a formal worker. His salary is the same as after the textile factory becomes a regular, and there are few people and simple interpersonal relationships, so I came here. Just a few days ago, were you looking for a book?"

When Ding Wei went to the acquisition station to find books, Caisang heard Cailian mention it, so she also knew that sooner or later, this matter would be known to everyone, but she felt that this job was not as bright and beautiful as a female worker in a textile factory. After all, she was a rag, because she often encountered people scolding her like this.

So when you meet your family suddenly, you will feel that you can't stand it. However, Ding Wei is really happy for her. After all, even if it is a acquisition station, it is the only one in the county and a formal worker in a public unit. Although she graduated from elementary school, everyone has learned abacus. As long as she can write, remember numbers and plan, she will be more diligent and capable of doing this job.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ding Wei asked Caisang: "What is the salary?"

Caisang said awkwardly: "I haven't been to a technical secondary school, so I can only give me a salary of 18th grade, 27.5 yuan. If I get into a technical secondary school, it will be 37 in the first year and 42.5 in the second year! I hope my sister can get into a technical secondary school, just like your brother."

Ding Wei nodded after hearing this, "It's OK, but sister, you see so many books here, I think you really should pick up your books. Not to mention taking the technical secondary school entrance exam, let's read more books, so we won't be getting further and further away from our brother-in-law, right?"

Caisang's smile froze, "I haven't read a book for many years, and I've forgotten it for a long time. You are not picking books. Go quickly, I'll give you some discounts later."

Ding Wei smiled and shook her head, "No need, we will give it back as much as possible. However, sister, if your purchasing station receives any good-quality furniture, or complete items such as teacup and bottles, as long as there are not too many flaws, you will tell me, I'll come and take a look, my furniture, I want to change it, and I always think that this kind of antique looks much better than the beds we just use with wooden nails, and the mahogany furniture is also beautiful."

"This is not a big deal. I happened to have a few items today. Look, it's in that room there. You can go and see it yourself. I'll ask the leader to ask you for the price. Don't worry, the things here won't be much expensive."

Ding Wei also realized that Cailian didn't want to talk too much with her, so she turned her head and looked inside happily.

The daily necessities and debris piled in the yard can withstand the wind and sun. They are all small and small, and they look messy and have no rules. There are a few old ladies snatching them there, and there are a few useful porcelain bowls and tea cups around them.

After Ding Wei had no space, she rarely paid attention to these things. The most important thing was that she was busy with work and had no time to pick. In recent years, she paid the most attention to some ancient books because the books were easy to store. As for these things and the furniture inside, they were all big guys, and it was really difficult to arrange.

The reason why I want to come and see the bed cabinet is that I have built a new house at home. The beds my parents have found for someone to make are too simple. I happened to have time today to see if there is a suitable classical bed.

As a result, when passing by the house where books were piled up, an old man threw out a pile of yellow paper and said disgustingly.

"There is no word on it, but it is added to this stack of books. Want to take advantage of me? Fortunately, I'm not as dizzy as I'm still."

Ding Wei ran over and picked up the rice paper on the ground and rubbed it gently, then put it between her nose and smelled it. Then she bent down and looked at the books the old man was picking. One of them was a famous traditional Chinese medicine prescription in the Song Dynasty, and the value of this stack of papers...

Isn’t it verified the old saying in the collection industry: “One page of Song, one or two gold!”

The Song version here refers to books from the Song Dynasty, but this stack of rice paper is indeed from the Song Dynasty, and it is a blessing to keep suppressing it. In the book, it has not been exposed to sunlight, otherwise it would have been severely weathered and unusable.

It is now the late 1970s, and many precious things are hard to find. If you have been to museums and art galleries in later generations, you will find that there are many modern works, and it is difficult to find even a little farther away, because books, files or scrolls are the easiest to be destroyed, and you often get everything done with just one fire.

Therefore, this is why Ding Wei couldn't find anything valuable when she was looking for major waste purchase stations. Even if there were, she was taken away by people who knew the profession early. How could she get her turn to buy it?

However, Ding Wei, who was originally looking at furniture, saw this stack of paper, squatted down and searched side by side with the old man.

This is probably what she has just collected recently. Many of them are something that Ding Wei has never seen before, and these stacks are quite old, so she thought they were cultural relics at a glance.

So he asked with a smile: "Grandpa, what are the uses for these you bought?"

"Oh, it's useless. My grandson likes it, so I buy it back and let him see it. Why, do you like this too?"

Ding Wei smiled and said, "It's not me, it's my brother. My brother studied medicine. Let me come over and find out if there are any medical books. I'll see how many books you have here. Master, can you give it to me? I'll treat you to candy."

As he said that, he took out a few big white rabbits from his bag and handed them over. The old man looked like he had a good temper.

"You little daughter is so polite. Just take whatever you like. Whatever you like. My grandson likes, but you can't read everything. They're all just playing around with it. It's not expensive anyway. I just thought about reading more books, so I came over to pick up some for him. I can't read the old man. I just want it when I look at it. If you are educated, just choose it yourself. It's okay."

Ding Wei thanked the old man with a smile and forcibly gave the big white rabbit to the old man: "Try it, it's milk candy, it's delicious and sweet."

Seeing the little girl insisting, the old man knew that he was embarrassed, so he smiled and took it, but he was reluctant to eat it and said he wanted to go back and give it to his granddaughter to taste.

So Ding Wei began to sit down and select these books. These ancient books involved a very comprehensive range. There were love novels written by poor scholars in ancient times, as well as so-called collections of poems or religious beliefs. Among them, her stacked up the prescriptions, copybooks, biography of characters, historical books and other things passed down by her ancestors.

By the time she finished the selection, the old man had already left, and two middle-aged people came to pick and choose between not far away.

Ding Wei changed several places, but in the end she only chose more than twenty books. It was not too late, so she carried the book to read the furniture, but couldn't choose the right one.

When Caisang saw her coming, he smiled and said, "Don't you look at furniture? Why? I'm not good at it? I bought a book again. Can you finish reading it?"

Ding Wei said with a smile: "I just like the fragrance of books containing ink. The problem that cannot be corrected is actually not necessarily finished reading it. I have been praised."

Books are worth pounds by pound, only 5 cents per pound. This stack of books adds up to 23 pounds, totaling 1.15 yuan. Caisang said, "Just give me one dollar."

Ding Wei smiled and shook her head, "How can it make it difficult for you to be a human being? It's as much as you should. Anyway, I have change." The last point was given to Ding Caisang.

Ding Caisang didn't refuse, but he asked her to come back in a few days, because new products would come every now and then.

"Okay, I didn't pick the right one today."

Ding Wei was a little troubled to hold the book, and she was very tired. Caisang looked at her holding the book and pointed to her the small cart in the corner.

"Do you see that car? If you can come over after get off work, use a cart to bring the book home and deliver it to me later."

When Ding Wei saw the cart, she nodded happily: "Okay, thank you sister, I'll send it back to you later."

With the help of the chariot, my hands were gone and it was convenient to push them. It took about 40 minutes to go from the scrap purchase station to the family yard.

After she brought the book home, she returned to the acquisition station. She happened to see several people unloading goods in the yard. They pulled a truck of scraps and piled them in the yard by category to estimate the price. Ding Wei took a look at a lame Arhat bed at first sight, and also a eight-immortal table that was broken but happened to let her see the wooden material. It was a high-quality golden nanmu. Although the surface was dirty, the wood marks at the broken made Ding Wei, who had studied archaeology, recognize that this was not an ordinary product at first sight.

Because Caisang was busy, she didn't bother. After putting the car in the corner, she pulled out the porcelain bottles and porcelain in the yard. When they finished their work, the people selected from the scrap purchasing station were almost gone. Ding Caisang was off work. After she packed up the things on the table, she shouted at Ding Wei.

"Vivi, just put down the things, why are you waiting until now?"

Ding Wei turned her head and looked at the furniture piled up in the yard: "Don't you put these away?"

"They are gone, and we will carry these things in when everyone comes. Why, do you like them?"
