Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

Gu Chao was stunned for a moment, "Why are you here?"

He remembered that this girl seemed to be from the Geng family.

In the past, when I was at home, I always liked to hang around him and be attentive to him. Gu Chao had a cold temperament and didn't pay much attention to him.

However, this is not the capital, this is Dan County. Gu Chao left his hometown and came to this small county for training.

If the daughter of the Geng family couldn't stay in the capital, why would she come to this small county?

Geng Meijuan came to Dan County just because of Gu Chao.

Unexpectedly, she met Gu Chao by chance on her first day here. She was so excited that she didn't know what to say, "It's a long story, we're here to recognize our relatives..."

Before Geng Meijuan could finish speaking, Geng Chunlai grabbed her and stopped her from saying, "You are Gu Chao. We live next door. You can come over to play another day."

Gu Chao shook his head lightly, "I guess I don't have time."

"It's okay, brother Gu Chao, let's go find you." As soon as Geng Meijuan said these words, she was dragged away by Geng Chunlai.

Grandma and the others had just discussed it, not to alarm the Chen family for the time being. If my sister told her about it, it might ruin the elders' plan to recognize their relatives.

Geng Meijuan didn't want to leave, "Brother, why are you dragging me along? I still want to talk to brother Gu Chao?"

"Is he the one you're thinking about? Then let me tell you, you're thinking about him in vain. He's not interested in you."

Geng Chunlai looked at the silly sister and shook his head.

He didn't understand anything else, but when Gu Chao looked at Geng Meijuan, there was no affection at all in his eyes. He knew that the other person didn't have a sister in his heart, and he didn't even have a good impression.

Such straightforward words directly hurt Geng Meijuan's heart.

She jumped up and hit Geng Chunlai with her small fist, "What are you talking about? You are so stupid, how do you know?"

"Oh, stop hitting me, why are you still pulling your hair?"

Geng Chunlai couldn't defeat his sister, so he had to run away.

When the brother and sister came back with mutton soup, Geng Chunlai already had injuries on his face.

"What's going on? How long have you been working and your face has been broken?" Old Mrs. Geng frowned. The grandchildren were not stable.

"Grandma, tell me about my brother. I just met brother Gu Chao. I'm a goth. He said that brother Gu Chao doesn't like me."

"More than just dislike? He doesn't like you at all." Geng Chunlai stabbed his sister in the heart again.

"What's going on? Why is Gu Chao here?"

In Lao Geng's house, everyone else cared about Gu Chao except Geng Chunlai.

For Mr. Geng and Mrs. Geng, this is the grandson-in-law decided by the elders of the family. No matter which granddaughter is fine, the grandson-in-law will not change.

Geng Meijuan recounted what happened just now, "I don't know why Brother Gu Chao is next door. I'll go see him later and ask him again."

Geng Meijuan's mother, Geng Meilan, frowned and said, "He said so, so don't go see him for the time being."

A man is like sand between his fingers. The tighter he clenches, the faster he runs.

However, Geng Meijuan didn't understand this and kept pestering her, as if Geng Meilan didn't support her.

Geng Meilan was afraid that Mr. Geng and Mrs. Geng would see the clues, so she hurriedly interrupted,

"Mom and Dad, I think we have to live in Dan County for a while. I heard from Chun that there is an old market here. Since it is an old market, there may be old objects in the market. Why don't we go and take a look?"

Mr. Geng used to run a pawn shop himself, and his vision was better than that of the great chaofeng in the shop. As soon as he heard about the old objects, he was immediately attracted, "Eat quickly, and walk around after eating, otherwise it will get dark."

Upon hearing what her grandfather said, Geng Meijuan shut her mouth knowingly.

That's how the old Geng family is. No matter what happens, as long as it encounters an old thing, it has to give way.

After everyone drank mutton noodle soup and scalded green onion pancakes, they locked the courtyard door and set off.

"Chang'an City is the former capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, and there are old objects everywhere, including many ancient tombs in Province S.

Anyone in the village will find old things digging into the cracks in the ground. We are going to have a good look around this time. "Mr. Geng is full of energy.

"Grandpa, don't have too much hope. I have been to the old market. This market is different from the ghost market. It mainly sells food and specialties from the village. Occasionally, there is a straw mat or something, a real old thing. It's rare." Geng Chunlai jumped out again and poured cold water on him.

Grandpa just hit him on the head with a bang, "How can you know without looking? How many times have I told you to train your eyesight and put good things in front of you, but you still can't recognize them."

Geng Chunlai ran away with his head in his arms, not daring to speak any more. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make and the more he would be beaten.

The old market is right next to the county seat. Strictly speaking, it is on the threshing floor of a village on the outskirts of the county.

They arrived late, and some sellers had already started to close their stalls.

Looking around, the things that the villagers exchanged were mainly wheat, dried potatoes, vermicelli, dried mushrooms...

The main method of transaction is bartering. You exchange for my vermicelli and I take away your dried potatoes. That's it.

Of course, it would be better if you meet a buyer like Geng Chunlai who is willing to buy it with cash.

"There is nothing here. The most valuable thing is the eggs?" Geng Meilan was very disappointed because her parents wanted to find her fourth sister. She was eager to show her talents in front of her parents.

If she doesn’t have an old thing right now, what can she show it to?

At this moment, the items on a street stall in front caught the attention of the Geng family.

Different from other street stalls, the items on this street stall are relatively miscellaneous. There is a second-hand Shanghai brand watch, a pair of glasses with missing legs, two old books, and a metal disc.

Two young men were already squatting in front of the stall, studying the pile of old goods carefully.

Mr. Geng immediately discovered the target object, which was the old metal disc. He had good eyesight, and when he saw the style of the disc, he initially concluded that it should be a bronze mirror.

After entering the Republic of China, the price of Western mirrors became less expensive and ordinary people could afford them. There were almost no bronze mirrors on the market. After all, these mirrors can only see a blurry shadow.

Therefore, the bronze mirror with the youngest age is also from the Qing Dynasty and is an absolute antique.

The old man of the Geng family pretended to be interested and squatted down next to the secondhand stall. He did not take the bronze mirror directly.

Instead, he picked up a second-hand Shanghai brand watch and asked about the price.

This is a common tactic used by antique dealers. They generally do not reveal what they are really interested in to avoid raising the price.

The stall owner said that this watch is for his own use. Although he has worn it for several years, he uses it carefully and maintains it diligently, so the quality of the watch is fine.

Mr. Geng nodded, briefly asked about the price, and then, as if he were doing it right, he was ready to pick up the bronze mirror and ask for the price.

When the time comes, buy one, get one free. He buys the watch and asks the other party to build a bronze mirror. This business will definitely be successful.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Geng reached out to touch it, but it was empty. The girl who came earlier had already picked up the bronze mirror. The girl not only picked up the bronze mirror, but also asked the stall owner about the price.

This move almost blinded Mr. Geng. He had outstanding eyesight, but how could this girl like the bronze mirror at such a young age?

You know, this bronze mirror is stained with rust, and in the eyes of people who don’t know how to do it, it’s no different from scrap metal?

Geng Chunlai had already recognized who the young girl was, and whispered into Mr. Geng’s ear...
