Chapter 684 The hunchback collecting scrap!
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, a hunchbacked middle-aged man, while pulling a cart, shouted to the yards on both sides of the alley: "It's time to collect rags! It's time to collect rags! Does anyone have rags to sell?" < br>
"Trash collector! How much does a glass bottle cost?" When the hunchbacked middle-aged man passed by a yard, a middle-aged woman with an apron in front of her face walked out of the yard and shouted to the hunchbacked middle-aged man.
When the hunchbacked middle-aged man heard the middle-aged woman's question, he instinctively stopped and replied with a smile: "Sister! Glass bottles cost four cents each. How many glass bottles do you have to sell?"
When the middle-aged woman learned the price of glass bottles, she frowned slightly and asked dissatisfiedly to the hunchbacked middle-aged man: "Collect rags! The recycling price of glass bottles at the collection station is only five cents each. How do you collect them here?" Four cents?”
The hunchbacked middle-aged man heard the middle-aged woman's question and said to her with a smile: "Sister! You just said that the recycling price at our scrap collection station is five cents, but you have to send it to the recycling station in person to buy it. , we come to purchase, you must make some money for us.”
The middle-aged woman heard the hunchbacked middle-aged man's explanation, thought for a while, and bargained with the hunchbacked middle-aged man: "Collect rags! A bottle is four and a half cents. If you agree, then I will go back to the house and give it to you." You take the bottle, and if you don’t agree, I’ll take it to the waste collection station for recycling when I’m free another day.”
Hearing the recycling price proposed by the middle-aged woman, the hunchbacked middle-aged man thought hard for a while, and then said to the middle-aged woman: "Sister! According to our recycling price, a bottle can only cost four cents, but Who told me that you are particularly attractive? I will recycle it at the price you just said.”
When the middle-aged woman heard the hunchbacked middle-aged man's answer, she nodded with satisfaction and said to the hunchbacked middle-aged man: "rag collector! Then you wait here, I will go back to the house and take out the empty bottles for you."
Not long after, the middle-aged woman walked out of the yard with a dozen glass bottles.
The hunchbacked middle-aged man counted the number of bottles, then took out a stack of cents from his pocket and said to the middle-aged woman with a smile: "Sister! You have a total of thirteen bottles here. The first twelve are divided into four. Calculate it in 5 cents, and because of luck, I will calculate the remaining one in 5 cents. Here is a total of 59 cents. Please click on it to see if it is correct.”
The middle-aged woman heard what the hunchbacked middle-aged man said and took a few cents from him. She first calculated the price in her mind, and after confirming that the hunchbacked middle-aged man was right, she took the money from him. , after counting carefully, he said with satisfaction: "You are quite a bit of a loser. If I still have junk to recycle in the future, I will definitely come to you!"
The hunchbacked middle-aged man heard the middle-aged woman's words, put the bottle she took out on the cart, and then walked away while shouting.
"Comrade! Do you want to collect the old furniture?" The hunchbacked middle-aged man had not gone far when the door of a small courtyard suddenly opened. A middle-aged man walked out of the small courtyard and asked the hunchbacked middle-aged man.
When the hunchbacked middle-aged man heard the middle-aged man's inquiry, he immediately stopped and replied with a smile: "Comrade! Of course we have collected the furniture, but what old furniture do you have in your home that you want to recycle?"
After hearing the answer from the hunchbacked middle-aged man, the middle-aged man immediately introduced the other party: "Comrade! What we want to sell are old furniture with some missing corners and legs, but how do you specifically collect this old furniture? ”
The hunchbacked middle-aged man heard the other party's inquiry and introduced with a smile: "Comrade! If the damage to the furniture is not serious, then we can estimate the value based on the condition of the furniture. If the damage is serious, then I can only estimate the value based on the price of the scrap wood. , and then carry out the weighing and settlement." After hearing the situation introduced by the hunchbacked middle-aged man, the middle-aged man instinctively glanced at both sides of the alley and said to the hunchbacked middle-aged man: "Comrade, then come in with me and take a look. ! ”
The hunchbacked middle-aged man locked the cart and followed the middle-aged man into the small courtyard.
After entering the small courtyard, the hunchbacked middle-aged man looked around curiously. When he saw the old furniture placed in the courtyard, he asked loudly: "Comrade! Are all the old furniture you mentioned here?" ”
"That's right! These are old furniture. How much do you think they can be sold for?" The middle-aged man heard the hunchbacked middle-aged man's question and immediately nodded and asked loudly.
The hunchbacked middle-aged man heard the other party's answer, walked around the pile of old furniture, and then said: "Comrade! Except for these two chairs, all the other Jia family furniture can be repaired." It’s not much different from rotten wood.”
"Do you think this is okay? I will charge thirty cents each for installing these two chairs, and I will weigh the rest for you. Each catty will be calculated as one cent and five cents?"
When the middle-aged man heard the quote from the hunchbacked middle-aged man, his face suddenly showed an expression of dissatisfaction, and he asked the hunchbacked middle-aged man: "Collect rags! Although these furniture are in tatters, the wood of these furniture is not How can you call ordinary wood rotten wood? ”
The hunchbacked middle-aged man heard the middle-aged man's question and saw the dissatisfied expression on the other party's face, so he explained: "Comrade! If these furniture of yours are all intact, I can naturally install the wood ones." I’m here to give you an estimate. The problem is that your furniture is already in tatters. I can’t give you money to buy back the rotten wood, right?”
"I won't sell it! I won't sell this furniture. You should leave quickly!" When the middle-aged man heard the hunchbacked middle-aged man use rotten wood to describe his furniture, he immediately felt angry and dissatisfied. He pushed the hunchbacked middle-aged man and immediately ordered him to leave.
The hunchbacked middle-aged man almost fell down after being pushed by the other party. Seeing the dissatisfied expression on the middle-aged man's face, he also asked with great dissatisfaction: "Comrade! There is no justice in business! Even if you don't sell, you won't Can you push me?"
When the middle-aged man heard the question from the hunchbacked middle-aged man, he urged the hunchbacked middle-aged man impatiently: "Go! Go! Go! I won't sell you these furniture, so get out of my house." ”
Seeing the impatient look on the other party's face, the hunchbacked middle-aged man also showed dissatisfaction. As he walked outside, he mocked: "You want to sell rotten wood like you as complete furniture?" , I think you won’t be able to sell them until the wood is completely rotten.”
"Damn lame! Even if these pieces of wood are rotten there, I won't sell them to you. You still have to get as far away from me as possible!" The middle-aged man immediately became angry when he heard the taunting of the hunchbacked middle-aged man. He reached out and pushed the hunchbacked middle-aged man again. At that moment, a small piece of paper fell into the hunchbacked middle-aged man's pocket, and he cursed angrily.
