Don't look at the excitement of these people on the bus. They all seem to be assembling bicycles immediately after returning home.
But Qin Jun knew that few people would actually execute it after getting off the car.
Because now even one dollar is a lot of money.
Because many people may not be able to earn a dollar even if they work for a day.
Calculated in this way, this one dollar is equivalent to one hundred dollars in later generations, or even two or three hundred dollars.
And even if you save even more, putting together a bicycle still costs seventy or eighty yuan.
Many families can afford this money.
However, it’s all spent and the next year won’t last?
Meeting by chance and sitting in the same car is just for bragging or exchanging business bragging.
However, it is still very lively when it is blown like this.
Just like that, I sat on a dilapidated small bus, swaying and moving forward.
Not to mention the slow speed of such a passenger bus, the speed is even slower when it keeps stopping to get people on and off.
Fortunately, tickets are not cheap now, so many people just walk along the main road instead of taking the bus.
While boasting about the cowhide, I moved forward slowly. It took me two hours to cover less than forty miles.
Qin Jun knew very well that this road was only 20 kilometers long. Even if he rode an electric bicycle, it would only take more than half an hour to get there.
But now, it takes two hours of driving.
That is to say, Qin Jun didn't get motion sickness, otherwise the current road conditions would definitely make him vomit.
After getting out of the car, Qin Jun took a deep breath.
Only then did he see clearly what the county town of Qidu looked like in the 1980s.
A row of brick and tile houses, at most they are taller and longer.
Apart from that, there are only a few small buildings.
There has not yet been large-scale demolition in the county seat, and there are many villages even within the county seat.
In later generations, this situation was called a village within a city, but now it is a city within a village.
Dilapidated buildings, narrow roads in the city, and shantytowns clustered together.
At this time, this old county town was really different from the modern, bustling cities of later generations.
And it only takes twenty or thirty years to complete the reconstruction.
The construction here has now begun.
As he walked out of the station, Qin Jun had already seen several construction sites.
There were stones, sand, and lime piled up everywhere on the construction site. Especially when he saw the large pile of lime, Qin Jun became enlightened.
No wonder Yu Aiguo is so confident in building a large lime kiln factory. It turns out that large-scale urban construction has already begun.
Now it cannot be compared with later generations. At that period, they were all brick-concrete structures, and the most used materials were steel bars, cement and sand.
At this time, lime was an important building material in any building.
Today, when there are no other alternative coatings, even if it is just a mud wall, a lot of lime is consumed.
"What are you thinking about? You've been out of your mind ever since you got off the car!"
After walking for a while, Qin Jun was pulled by his second brother.
After coming back to his senses, Qin Jun discovered that they had arrived at the door of a house.
"This is the home of a comrade of mine. Our things will be stored here first."
Zhao Erwa knocked on the door, and someone quickly responded.
Soon, a man without his right arm walked out of the yard.
Seeing this situation, Qin Jun could only sigh secretly.
He should have thought long ago that there must be a reason why Zhao Erwa's comrades were still demobilized and at home.
"Old Zhao? Why are you back?"
As soon as the man saw Zhao Erwa, his face was full of surprise.
"Why can't I come back? How can I stay in Monkey Mountain if I don't come back?" Zhao Erwa said with a smile.
"Haha, you should come back, no, isn't the battle not over yet?"
Although the man was pleasantly surprised, he was not so happy that he was dumbfounded.
"It's the same as you, so I can only demobilize and come back." Zhao Erwa said a little helplessly.
"This is Wang Xingxiang's company who came back a few months early." Zhao Erwa introduced the two parties to each other.
When comrades meet, they naturally have endless things to say.
What's more, they have sympathy for each other, but the man is still a little envious of Zhao Erwa's current situation.
"You are so lucky!" Wang Xingxiang's envious expression was even more obvious.
"Actually, everyone who comes back is lucky!" Zhao Erwa patted Wang Xingxiang on the shoulder and said.
Wang Xingxiang fell silent and stopped talking.
After a while, he pulled Zhao Erwa and began to greet Qin Jun and others into the yard.
Zhao Erwa did not go in: "We are here today to do business, so we won't go in. These things will be stored at your house first."
"Okay, put your things in the house, what do you want to do? I'll show you the way, you don't have to be polite!"
With that said, Wang Xingxiang helped put the three backpacks into his bedroom.
Then he walked out and had to follow him to help.
Seeing such enthusiastic Wang Xingxiang, Zhao Erwa could only look at Qin Jun helplessly.
Qin Jun chuckled and said, "Let's go to the department store and the supply and marketing cooperative building, and we'll have a meal together!"
"Why don't we go to the scrap collection station while it's still dark?" Zhao Erwa suggested.
Qin Jun thought about it, and that was fine. Anyway, he was really curious about the current scrap collection station.
Although Qidu cannot be compared with the Forty-Nine Cities or the provincial capitals, it is still a city.
There are harvests at the commune waste collection station, but maybe the harvests in this county are even greater?
As Zhao Erwa walked, she told Wang Xingxiang about the great achievements of the Qin army.
Especially this afternoon, he actually got the main parts of a bicycle.
"Can this really make a bicycle? If it really works, people will definitely go crazy!"
After listening, Wang Xingxiang looked at Qin Jun with bright eyes.
When Qin Jun heard this, he knew that Wang Xingxiang was not someone who could live a stable life.
Zhao Erwa said: "Let's not talk about this for now. First, take us to the scrap collection station in the city."
"Okay, but don't have high expectations. There will definitely be nothing good in the scrap yard."
Having a local to lead the way makes it easier no matter what you do.
A group of them were in an urban village. After walking around for half an hour, they came to a courtyard.
This is a scrap collection station in the east of the city. Compared with the one in the commune, this one is much larger.
There are also a lot of waste products inside, mainly books, newspapers, scrap metal, plastics, cardboard boxes, torn clothes, etc.
These can be considered quite standard waste products. In rural areas or in communes, there are broken enamel basins, broken thermos bottle shells, etc. that are not commonly seen in rural areas or communes.
As for the old furniture, Qin Jun didn't see any traces.
However, he wanted to find some large iron items, and there seemed to be some machines.
However, these things were severely damaged, and even Qin Jun could not tell what kind of machines these were.
Qin Jun studied it specifically and found that everything that could be dismantled inside had been dismantled.
Therefore, even if you know what these machines do, it seems useless.
This place is too far from his home and there is no way to transport it back.
Because they definitely couldn't find a car to pull it, could they still carry it back?
Shaking his head, Qin Jun changed his target again.
But no matter how you look for it, this is a real scrap station.
Of course, he was not without gain, because he saw a pile of unusual scraps.
"These are copper utensils. Do you know the young man?"
Qin Jun had just stopped to take a closer look when a staff member who was sorting garbage not far away came over and asked with a smile.
Qin Jun raised his head and looked at the staff member.
He is not too old, at most he is about the same age as Zhao Erwa.
"Brother, what do you know these things are?" Qin Jun asked.
The staff member chuckled and said, "I'm afraid you really know each other, right? These are sent by several communes in the east. They must be copperware, so we accepted them."
"You've seen the situation, the cable factory doesn't want it at all."
"In the end we found out that it was a copper-tin alloy, not pure copper at all."
As he said this, the staff was a little annoyed. The difference between alloy and pure copper was huge!
This pile of junk has been piled here for more than a month. It is definitely not good to throw it away. After all, it was bought with money from the station.
However, it is very disturbing to stay here and not be able to deal with it.
He noticed Qin Jun and his party as soon as they came in just now.
After observing it, I found that the adults were all surrounding a child.
This made him focus on the Qin army, and he really made a discovery.
Very few people would pay attention to that pile of tattered copper utensils, but those who did, all knew them.
This was evident in the performance of several staff members of the Cultural Affairs Bureau.
The look in Qin Jun's eyes just now showed that he knew these things.
And Qin Jun did know it, because he knew better that the so-called copper-tin alloy, wasn't it bronze?
But he was not very happy to find such a pile of bronzes.
