I got off work on time again, and as soon as I walked out of the office, I saw Fu Sinian and Li Bo.
Fu Sinian said he wanted to go eat first, but Lin Siya disagreed:
"Should we go to the scrap yard first and then go home for dinner later? I'm afraid the scrap yard will be closed soon."
"No need, sister-in-law. We are very familiar with the gatekeeper of the scrap yard. We can go there anytime." Li Yifeng said proudly.
Lin Siya was a little surprised. These two guys were really capable. They were even familiar with the guard at the scrap yard.
Since that was the case, she was no longer in a hurry. The three of them rode their bicycles directly to the state-owned restaurant.
The three of us didn't order any dishes. One of us ordered a bowl of beef noodles. Beef is not common, so the price is a bit expensive, but when it was served, it was really worth the money.
It was a very big bowl, bigger than any bowl she had eaten in any noodle shop before. It was filled with pieces of beef, and the whole bowl of noodles looked very tempting.
This bowl of noodles is equivalent to two large bowls of noodles in the future. According to her appetite, she definitely cannot finish it. Lin Siya prepared to take out one-third of the noodles in the bowl and give it to Fu Sinian.
Seeing this, Fu Sinian quickly asked her, "I picked it up for me. Is it enough for you?"
"That's enough. This is too much. I really can't finish it."
Lin Siya sincerely felt that this was too much, and it was definitely not because her appetite was small. People nowadays were very honest in doing business, especially state-owned units like state-owned restaurants. Not to mention, Lin Siya even doubted whether she could make a profit.
Looking at the people around her eating noodles with great slurps, Lin Siya began to understand a little. People at that time had big appetites, and this amount was indeed a normal amount for one person. Even a woman could finish it easily.
Unlike her, who was abused by the Lin family before and had never had enough to eat, and her stomach was originally small. Later, she got the golden finger and took body-transforming agents, so she had no shortage of food and drink every day, and her life was even almost the same as in later generations. Of course, her appetite was the same as before.
No, I should say that my appetite is still a little bigger than before. After all, I couldn’t eat so much noodles before.
The chef’s cooking skills are very good. The noodles are chewy and smooth, not to mention the braised beef. It is so satisfying when you take a bite and it is full of soup.
After finishing all the remaining noodles, she felt like she was about to bulge up to her neck.
After dinner, the three of them rode their bicycles straight to the scrap station. At this time, the scrap station had already closed. There was only an old man who lived in a small house in the scrap station as a guard.
Li Bo walked up and knocked on the door. The light inside the small house soon lit up, and then with a creak, the door of the small house opened.
The gatekeeper was not overly surprised to see the visitor, but was very happy instead.
"Oh, it's you, kid. You haven't been here for a long time."
"Hey, uncle, aren't you busy lately? Look, you can come more often in the future."
"Really? You've been transferred to the city?"
"Yes! Thanks to my brother, I will be able to make a living in the city from now on. Uncle, did you keep the things for us?" Li Bo said as he stuffed a pack of cigarettes into the hand of the uncle guarding the door.
The gatekeeper took it without blinking, then pulled out a bunch of keys from his pocket: "Here, go find it yourself. Remember, don't make too much of a mess."
"Okay, sir, don't worry!"
The gatekeeper went straight back to his hut without caring what the three of them were doing.
Lin Siya saw this scene and understood. It seemed that these two people came here frequently! You could tell by the way they looked familiar with the place.
Lin Siya had been to this scrap yard once before, with the intention of picking up bargains. Unfortunately, the old man's attitude wasn't as nice as it was today the last time she came. He was even more unreasonable and refused to let her into several rooms. So she didn't pick up any bargains that time, and she didn't know if she would have any chance today.
The three of them went to the first room first, which was also the most important place on their trip. After opening it, they found that it was filled with all kinds of things, most of which were scrapped bicycles, radios, and parts removed from some unknown instruments.
There are a lot of things and they are very mixed. They need to find out the usable or repairable ones among this pile of messy parts.
Seeing that two people were already rummaging through the pile of messy parts, Lin Siya simply went to another room.
She first came to a room near the first room, went in, turned on the light, and found that it was full of paper products.
This scrap yard is very different from other scrap yards. The items inside are arranged according to categories and look very neat.
For example, this room is filled with paper products, but newspapers are kept separate and books are kept separate. It doesn’t look messy at all and you can easily find what you want.
When Lin Siya saw the books piled up in the corner, she immediately became interested. She squatted down and started to look through them. She didn't know how many surprises she would find until she started looking.
She found original foreign novels, thread-bound books, medical books, and even a cookbook that looked very old.
There are a lot of stains on these books, and it's obvious that they were thrown away casually, or they may have experienced a thrilling smashing and then remained here. The ones in good condition have probably been hidden by someone with ulterior motives.
Not all people are fools. They know how precious these things are, and perhaps they think that one day these treasures will see the light of day again.
And the books she found were obviously not valued by others.
But others may not like them, but Lin Siya does. Although many of them are incomplete and torn, if they are left here, sooner or later they will become fire starter.
She collected them all without hesitation, leaving only some high school textbooks and some materials. When she took them out later, she would just weigh them. She also took a bundle of newspapers, which was just right for starting a fire.
In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the gatekeeper, she did not collect all the books she thought were valuable. According to today's situation, there should be another chance to find a bargain.
