It seems that no one has been to this attic for many years. After Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang walked in, very clear footprints immediately appeared on the ground.
With the light coming through the glass window, the situation inside the attic can be seen clearly.
Although this floor is different from the attic in the ordinary sense, it has the function of an attic, which is to store some unnecessary things.
These things, which had been there for who knows how many years, were piled up in a mess, from the western end of the attic all the way to the doorway at the eastern end of the attic. There were cardboard boxes and some wooden boxes, and more were items without any packaging, just thrown on the ground. Yang Jing even saw two small bookshelves in the attic, which were filled with various dusty books.
This situation made Guo Xiaoxiang gasp, "Oh my god! Lao Yang, I really doubt whether we can pack up so many things in two days."
Yang Jing also smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Let's find a way to assemble a small hoist tonight, and talk to the manager when we clean up tomorrow to see if we can set up the hoist at the window. Otherwise, if we are the only ones to clean up these things from the stairs, it will take us three days to finish."
Guo Xiaoxiang nodded and gave Yang Jing a thumbs up.
The two of them wandered around inside for a while, and after getting a general understanding of the things inside, they prepared to go out and prepare the tools for tomorrow. They had some tools they usually used for cleaning in the car, but for the small sling that Yang Jing just mentioned, they still needed to buy some materials from the local store tonight to assemble it.
Guo Xiaoxiang walked in front and Yang Jing walked behind. When passing by a small bookshelf, Yang Jing stopped, took out a rag from his pocket, wiped the dusty books, and the heavy books were immediately revealed.
"Wow, this is the 1963 edition of Pride and Prejudice, this is the 1960 edition of The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and this is the 1962 edition of History of England..." Yang Jing casually pulled out some big books from the bookshelf and took a look, and found that they were all books published or printed in the 1950s and 1960s.
These books looked very old on the surface, but after opening them, Yang Jing found that no one seemed to have read them. Obviously, these books were probably bought by Baron William Vardy's father or grandfather to decorate the study, but no one knew who threw them in the attic.
These books are old. After all, they were printed in the 1960s. Even though they are popular books, they still have some value if they are sold outside.
This discovery made Yang Jing very happy.
For those in their line of work, the daily wage given by their masters is only a small part of their income, and the main source of income comes from the "garbage" that their masters don't want.
After all, these are things used by the rich, and they were originally good things. Maybe they are nothing at all to those rich people, but they are still very good for ordinary people.
These garbage disposers often find some pretty good things when dealing with the "garbage" that the rich don't want. They then pay the manager to buy these things and make a lot of money by taking them to the flea market.
Just like when Guo Xiaoxiang first entered the industry, he found a bicycle in a manor in Tonbridge while cleaning it up. Guo Xiaoxiang bought the bicycle from the housekeeper for 80 pounds, but the bicycle was sold for 700 pounds at the flea market.
The bicycle was a Kobe folding bicycle, and it was a limited edition commemorative six-speed bicycle launched by Kobe in 2000. You should know that an ordinary second-hand Kobe folding bicycle costs more than 10,000 yuan in China. If this limited edition commemorative bicycle was new, it would cost more than 2,000 pounds even if it was bought in the UK.
But the owner of the manor was so rich that he treated the small cloth bicycle that was probably bought for his child as garbage. Of course, Guo Xiaoxiang bought it from the manor housekeeper, but it was these 80 pounds that brought Guo Xiaoxiang an income of 700 pounds.
The fat man bought his Golf with the proceeds from that trip.
Of course, it is not so easy to take out some valuable items that the owner neglected. After all, if you want to take something out, you must check it and determine its value before you can. However, those high-value items cannot be taken out, but those things that are of high value to ordinary people but not worth much in the eyes of the rich can be taken out.
These garbage disposal workers make money from this.
To do this job, you don’t need to find waste items of very high value, you just need to find some valuable things continuously.
These books are obviously the kind of items that are not very valuable but profitable. Since these books have been thrown here by the owner for more than 50 years, it is obvious that the owner does not care about them. But if these books are sold at the flea market, they can definitely be sold at a higher price than new books.
If both bookshelves were filled with such books, these books alone would be enough for Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang to make a small fortune.
Yang Jing was about to tell Guo Xiaoxiang excitedly when he suddenly felt a heat on his left little finger, as if a stream of hot air was blowing over him.
The next moment, Yang Jing saw a transparent interface suddenly appear in front of his eyes, with four lines of words displayed very clearly on it - "Dictionary of National Biographical Figures", 1958 edition, published by Oxford University Press.
