In this age of scarcity, food is extremely precious.
He nodded, then said, "Little girl, feel free to take the newspaper, but don't take anything you shouldn't. Everything in here is registered."
Yue Yue smiled and nodded to show her understanding. She understood what the old man meant and also respected the rules here.
Then she walked into the recycling bin.
As soon as she entered the recycling station, Yue Yue was stunned by the scene before her.
The place is filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items, including broken tables, chairs and benches, incomplete books, and some used daily necessities.
She found that there were many short-legged tables, chairs and benches here. Although they were damaged, the materials looked good. Under normal circumstances, these tables, chairs and benches might still have some value, but unfortunately they were all broken now and could only become waste.
Yue Yue shook her head and continued walking towards the pile of books. The ground was littered with scattered books, some of which were worn out and some were torn to pieces.
Yue Yue carefully searched through the pile of books. Her eyes were focused and determined, and she did not miss any potentially useful clues.
As time passed, she seemed to have forgotten everything around her, immersed in this sea of books full of unknowns.
Finally, after some effort, Yue Yue managed to find all the high school Chinese, math and English textbooks.
Her heart was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment, as if she had found a treasure.
Fortunately, she came early, she thought.
If I had come a year or two later, these books would probably have been taken away by others or disposed of as waste.
There was not even a hair to be found here. Excited, she brought the books she had sorted out to the old man.
The old man took the book and looked at it carefully.
Although these books are a little worn, they are priceless treasures for those who thirst for knowledge.
The old man thought for a moment and then said, "Give me eighty cents for these things!"
Yue Yue quickly took out eighty cents from her pocket and handed it to the old man. The old man took the money, then continued to lie on the recliner, closed his eyes, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility.
Yue Yue took the book and left the recycling station.
She looked down at her watch and saw that it was already past one o'clock. She had been searching inside for several hours.
She couldn't help but sigh that time passed so quickly, but at the same time she felt satisfied with what she had gained.
She quickly put the book into the space, and then quickly walked towards the dilapidated temple in the south of the city.
The south of the city was rarely visited, and Yue Yue saw almost no one along the way.
She quickened her pace, feeling both excited about the afternoon's trading and a little nervous.
She knew that this transaction was very important to her. It not only affected whether she could obtain sufficient funds to support her life and studies, but also affected whether her future plans could be implemented smoothly.
Finally, she arrived at the dilapidated temple in the south of the city.
This dilapidated temple is quite old, with mottled walls and broken tiles on the roof.
The surrounding area is overgrown with weeds, looking particularly desolate.
But in Yue Yue's eyes, this is an important place for her to realize her dream.
She walked into the dilapidated temple and quickly took out the rice, eggs, flour, apples, pears, etc. in the space and placed them neatly on the ground.
Then, she skillfully dressed up as the aunt just now and waited quietly for Gu Changmu and others to arrive.
As the seconds ticked by, Yue Yue felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement. She kept going over the details of the deal in her mind, making sure everything was in place.
Finally, at exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Changmu and his companions arrived at the dilapidated temple on time.
As soon as they came in, they were stunned by the fruits and grains all over the ground.
The quantity of these goods far exceeded their imagination, and they suddenly felt that they brought too few people.
So, Gu Changmu quickly asked one of his brothers to go back and call someone to move the things.
While waiting, they began to carefully check the quality and quantity of the goods.
The quality of this batch of goods is very good, which makes them very satisfied.
After some calculations, they concluded that the total cost of this batch of goods would be around 180,000.
Gu Changmu looked at Yue Yue and said awkwardly, "Auntie, we only have 120,000 yuan in cash. We'd like to exchange the rest for 50 small yellow croakers and this box of jewelry. Is that okay with you?"
After saying that, Gu Changmu opened the jewelry box.
When Yue Yue saw it, she was stunned.
In the box, a pair of imperial green bracelets and a necklace lay there quietly, emitting a charming luster.
Yue Yue felt excited and had to use all her strength to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.
She clearly remembered that in later generations, this kind of imperial green jewelry was priceless.
In her previous life, her soul floated to Gu Changmu's house and she had seen similar treasures on TV.
She didn't expect that she would encounter such a precious thing in this special period.
Yue Yue secretly felt lucky that her transaction partner this time was Gu Changmu and the others.
She felt that they were quite reliable and the prices they offered were reasonable.
So she nodded in agreement.
At the same time, she was also moved by the sincerity of Gu Changmu and others, and decided to kindly give them a few watches.
She smiled and said, "This is a little gift from me! I hope we can work together again next time."
Gu Changmu and his team did not refuse. They knew that in this special period, it was very important to establish a good cooperative relationship.
Moreover, the grains and fruits they bought were enough for them to make at least 150,000 yuan in net profit by selling them in the market.
