Bronzeware from the 1970s and 1980s was not a good thing, and few people would protect it seriously.
Just like the pile of broken things in front of me, they are some rotten bronze swords, guns, gun heads and other weapons.
There is really no shortage of this stuff in Qi City. Qin Jun also heard about it in later generations. A large number of ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty were discovered in several villages east of the county.
Therefore, he was not surprised at all when the staff said that some communes in the east of the city had sent these things.
However, the ancient tombs over there have obviously not been discovered yet.
After it was accidentally discovered, an archaeological team was sent down from above to excavate for two or three years. In the end, everything was taken away, and there was no news at all.
This was a rumor that Qin Jun had heard before, and he didn't know whether it was true or false.
However, neither Qidu County nor Jintai City, a prefecture-level city, has built a museum, so naturally there is no place for these unearthed cultural relics.
However, the pile of bronzes seen at this time was too miserable and too numerous.
Picking up a bronze sword casually, it is now a thin piece of iron, or a rusty and rotten iron bar that is almost complete.
If you are not knowledgeable about this kind of thing, you will not be able to tell that it is a sword at all.
There are also a lot of sickle-like things next to it, which must be Ge.
This thing looks like a sickle for cutting wheat, and it looks a bit like a pistol when viewed from a flat surface, which is very conspicuous.
But there are too many of these things here. Even without counting them carefully, you can roughly estimate that there are at least several hundred here!
Which ancient battlefield has this been dug up? Qin Jun thought about it carefully, which was the most famous battle on their side in ancient times?
What the Qin army knew seemed to be the place where the Huangchao Uprising failed in the late Tang Dynasty, the Battle of Hulang Valley.
Besides, even if the ancient battlefield of Hulang Valley is excavated, there should still be iron tools. After all, iron tools were already popular in the Tang Dynasty.
Unable to figure it out, Qin Jun stopped thinking about it. After all, there were real antiques in front of him.
But, again, he wants it, but he really can't get it home.
Besides, what should I do after I get it home?
These junk things need to be protected.
Otherwise, if we continue to be exposed to wind, sun, and rain, everything will be ruined.
"Young man, do you want it? If you want, we can give you a cheaper price!"
Qin Jun finally shook his head. This thing would not be worth anything even if it were left to future generations, and it could not even be bought or sold.
Of course, he didn't want to buy or sell them. The main reason was that these things didn't look good, so why keep them? Too bad!
"No? These are bronzes, things that can be used as family heirlooms!" The staff member continued to encourage.
At this time, Wang Xingxiang came over and said: "Since it can be used as a family heirloom, then your staff here will get a share. Wouldn't every family have a family heirloom? How great!"
"Ha ha......"
When Wang Xingxiang said this, the people around him who were picking through the garbage all laughed.
"Forget it, if you don't want it, you don't know the goods."
"Xiao Zhang, if you make a mistake, you have to recognize it. Who doesn't know that these junk things are antiques?"
"Yes! Antiques also depend on their condition. They can be exchanged for money when they are used. They are good things. But when they are not used, these things cannot be used for food!"
"Hey, you're right, this thing is garbage now!"
"You still have to work hard, otherwise you won't have enough to eat every day. What's the point?"
"Stop talking, stop talking. If the young man doesn't want it, just keep it."
Qin Jun was a little dumbfounded. Everyone in this group knew that this was an antique!
Who said you can pick up scraps at scrap collection stations?
Or is he too late?
People a few years ago, or more than ten years ago, were all fools and didn’t know the value of antiques?
Thinking about it, he knew it was impossible. Qin Jun himself laughed.
However, there were also some national treasures recovered from scrapyards during this period, such as the famous He Zun.
These are so famous that Qin Jun has heard of some even if he doesn't play with antiques.
In addition to what he usually saw on the news, he now remembers everything clearly.
It's a pity that transportation is not convenient now. If it were convenient, he would definitely go to see it, at least to Sijiu City.
"Hey!" Qin Jun sighed and prepared to leave.
Picking things up depends on luck. For example, in the commune, he could still pick up half a bicycle!
On the contrary, at the larger scrap collection station in this county, all that was seen were real scraps.
"Young man, don't sigh. If you really like it, I'll help you transport it home. How about it? I just want to see if you know what to buy!"
"Huh? Are you really going to help with transportation? Our home is a bit far from here!"
I was about to leave, but I didn’t expect there would be someone to help solve the problem?
The Qin army must not miss this good thing.
"Hey, you really want it?"
The staff member named Zhang immediately became excited.
"I want, not only these rags, but also the iron lumps next to them."
As he spoke, Qin Jun pointed to the unknown machines he saw first not far away.
Although I don’t know what these things were originally used for, they are now used as the workbench of machine tools and can be used with a little modification.
The Qin Army can even use some thick steel plates to directly transform them into shears, bending machines, or simply press brakes, etc.
For those with edges and corners, we can use shearing machines and bending machines. For round steel columns, we can use bending machines. If we have a welding machine, everything can be done easily.
Even if he does nothing, given the rarity of the machine at this time, he can still make a lot of money even if he sells second-hand machines.
After confirming that the scrap collection station could help transport it home, Qin Jun was no longer polite.
The most expensive metal here is copper, which Qin Jun has no use for, so he only chooses cast iron and steel parts.
Just take those profiles with no signs of damage. If you dismantle these things, you will definitely be able to assemble several shearing machines.
The larger shears can be driven by electricity, while the smaller shears can be pedaled directly.
I picked and picked, and soon with the help of a group of staff, I picked out a lot.
"Young man, these must be five or six tons. Do you really want them all?"
At the end of the day, none of the staff were willing to work.
Because Qin Jun had too many to choose from, even if they cost a dime per catty, they cost more than a thousand yuan!
"I'll give you a hundred yuan as a deposit first. We'll come over and follow the car tomorrow afternoon. When the time comes, the money will be paid in full."
"Okay." In the end, it was Xiao Zhang who was the first to agree.
"Hey, there should have been motors, screw rods, etc. on these iron lumps, but now they have been removed!"
As pieces of heavy machinery were pulled out, Qin Jun felt more and more uncomfortable.
"There are some accessories that have been dismantled, and even the wires have been removed and recycled." Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
Qin Jun could only shake his head. He didn't know which factory was demolished. These should be machines on a production line.
For example, the steel plates he looked at just now that could form a shearing machine might have come from a shearing machine.
"Don't run around. What if you bump into someone?"
Just when Qin Jun was carefully picking out the iron lumps to see what other machines they could form into, Xiao Zhang shouted, which startled Qin Jun.
When I looked up, I saw a group of children running around.
"These are the children from our family home, they are so naughty!"
Seeing Qin Jun's reaction, Xiao Zhang said a little embarrassed.
Qin Jun waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I just think their toys are good."
A group of children, all of whom looked to be seven or eight years old, the right age to attract cats and dogs.
A group of them were jumping around. Someone was pushing a ring with a wire, and a group of children were chasing behind them.
Someone also pulled a bronze bird, which must also be a bronze object, because the patina on this thing is really conspicuous.
There was also a child holding a puppy.
Of course, there is nothing special about holding a dog, especially this puppy, which actually has an iron knot tied to its tail. No, it should be a copper knot.
Looking at the square shape and the Zhen Beast sitting on it, this thing looks like a big seal.
The bronze bird looks a bit like a pigeon, and there are small wheels underneath that children can pull and slide quickly.
If Qin Jun did not admit his mistake, this thing should be an ancient children's toy, and it must be an antique.
However, this is not important now. What is important is the button mark on the dog's tail!
"If I'm not mistaken, those two things are also antiques, right?"
Qin Jun grabbed Xiao Zhang and prevented him from continuing his work.
This time he came here to pick up the missing items. He had received a lot of rags and already felt very satisfied.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain in the end, which made Qin Jun overjoyed.
Those reborn seniors really did not deceive me. This scrap collection station is really a treasure.
