Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 109 You must have never seen an iron stove like this

After putting away his things, he returned to the pile of books and continued to search among these old books.

The rental house was not like a junkyard, and he could now take a closer look at the books and the items that might be inside.

Without deliberately looking for the paper-cut book, he picked up the books one by one and read them.

When he went to bed at almost eleven o'clock, he basically found some books of greater value and the things hidden in them.

The books include almanacs and picture albums from the 50s, as well as a small number of little red books and periodicals.

In addition to the book of paper-cuts he found before, he found several more books, and one of them contained already-cut paper-cuts.

In the pages of some books, in addition to bookmarks, he also found a few old sugar coupons (candy coupons) and work-point coupons.

The candy coupons were from a department store in 1956, with a face value of half a catty and an expiration date on them.

The work-point ticket belongs to the agricultural production cooperative and has the cooperative's seal on the back.

While selecting these books, he chatted with Yi Xiaoyue for a while.

He is now basically used to chatting with her for a while at night.

If we don't talk, it feels like something is missing.

She heard that he was busy, so she didn't waste his time and simply chatted for about ten minutes.

The time before going to bed at night is basically spent selecting these old books.

When he went to the storage room the next morning, Wu Yuansheng brought over some valuable items that he had selected last night and could be put up for auction in the online store.

When he showed Yi Xiaoyue a version of the Hundred Yuan Red Factory Coin, she said she had gained a lot of experience.

He also said that like the [-]-dollar treasury bills, they are both red, which indicates that business will be booming in the future.

Her idea was quite special. Wu Yuansheng didn't think of this, nor did he think so much, but he definitely hoped that the business would get better and better!

After staying in the storage room for a while, he went to the driving school not far away to practice driving twice. Anyway, it was close to that place.

He hasn't practiced driving for two days. He had said before that when the minimum time required to take the second subject after passing the first subject was reached, he would be arranged to take the test. If nothing happened, he would definitely have to get familiar with it.

After practicing driving, he called Zhou Anming and told him that he had bought the official kiln porcelain and asked him to contact his friends to come over and take a look.

The other party said he would contact him immediately and hung up the phone. After Wu Yuansheng waited for about 10 minutes, Lao Zhou called him again and told him that he had been contacted and could come over at noon to "see the goods."

The time they agreed on was 12:30 noon, and the place was still at the rental house in the family courtyard.

After hanging up the phone, he checked the time and saw that it was only ten o'clock, still early than the agreed time, so he rode his bicycle towards the demolition area.

He planned to use these two hours or so to try his luck again.

"Boss Wu, I was collecting things in an old house of a resident and found an iron stove. It's very old. Do you want it?"

When he got there, Boss Luo saw him at a roadside location and said to him.

"Really? Let me see!"

"Let me tell you, you have never seen an iron stove like this! I originally planned to dismantle it and sell it as iron, but I saw that it was very special, so I didn't dismantle it!"

He continued, and after that he began to slowly lift a large piece of curtain covering his tricycle.

Then everything inside was exposed.

There were some waste paper shells, plastic bottles, scrap metal and other items. Near the front of the carriage, there was something that looked really special.

The middle part of this object looks like an old-fashioned hand-cranked iron can for popcorn standing vertically. It is thick in the middle and narrow at both ends.

<divclass="contentadv">The top surface is flat and is a small square tabletop. The middle of the "tabletop" is covered by a five-pointed star-shaped lid and there is a small "chimney" next to it.

There is a trapezoidal shelf about 20 centimeters below to support the stove. There is a large opening about seven or eight centimeters above the shelf, but it has been sealed and should be able to be opened.

"That's it. Do you think it is different from other coal stoves?"

Boss Luo pointed at the strange object Wu Yuansheng had just seen and said to him.

"It's quite special. This stove is made entirely of iron and is much larger than ordinary stoves."

"I'll open the top lid and the opening for putting firewood in and take a look at it."

After Boss Luo finished speaking, he opened the round iron lid with a five-pointed star in the middle of the top of the stove, and then opened the sealed opening underneath the stove.

"How about this, this stove is special! Look at the cover, it says 1968, specially made by a certain stove manufacturer!"

Boss Luo continued.

This stove should be multi-functional. It can burn coal or charcoal. It can also burn firewood without coal.

"Is there any damage to the stove?"

Wu Yuansheng asked him. When he asked, he started to move the stove.

He has already checked the side near the outside. There is no damage, but he is not sure about the situation there.

"It's so heavy!" This was his first feeling when he moved the stove. It was estimated to weigh seventy or eighty kilograms.

"It is made of pure iron, and it is also a whole. Look at the iron, it is almost half a centimeter thick. There must be no damage."

While he was moving the stove, Boss Luo said to him again.

Of course, what he said was a bit exaggerated. The entire iron sheet on the surface of the stove cannot be half a centimeter thick, but it should be about three millimeters thick.

Indeed, as he said, after checking the other side, he found no problems.

"How much does this stove cost?"

He definitely wanted to buy something special, so he asked about the price.

"It weighs several dozen kilograms. If you sell it as iron, you can sell it for 100 yuan. This thing is old and can also be used as a collectible. If you want it, I'll give you 300 yuan. It's not much!"

Boss Luo stated the price he wanted.

"It weighs several dozen kilograms, but it can't be all made of iron. There is also mud. If it's iron, it's up to sixty kilograms. But the 300 yuan you said is 300 yuan. I want it. After all, it's A collectible!”

As for Boss Luo, Wu Yuansheng thinks he is pretty good. At this price, it is not a bad idea to buy such a stove. He has indeed never seen such a stove before.

Take the "specially made" written above as an example. It must have been used by the previous "leaders". It is impossible for ordinary people to use such high-end things in an era when supplies are scarce.

After the two agreed on the price, he paid Boss Luo 300 yuan and then moved the stove to his tricycle together.

Taking the stove he bought, he turned the car around and went to the rental house next to the river embankment, which he had no intention of selling.

When winter comes, I will be able to use it.

After putting away his things, he went to the demolition area again. Although he only had more than an hour, he didn't intend to waste it.
