Steel rolling mill.

"Come on, Xiao Li."

As soon as he arrived at the transport team, Zhang Jinwu called Li Kailang and gave him a task.

"Here's an easier job, you can do it."

Li Kailang took it and looked at it, and found it was quite easy to use.

"Okay, I'll take it. Thank you, Master."

Li Kailang happily took the task and drove straight to the cadre building to pick up the logistics personnel.

"Master Li."

"Comrade Sun."

Li Kailang and Sun Zhenhua shook hands with each other.

"Let's get going without further ado. We have a lot of places to go."

Li Kailang nodded: "Okay, let's go."

The two got in the car and headed straight for the nearby Nanluoguxiang scrap yard.

Sun Zhenhua got out of the car with the signature form, official seal and other items.

"Comrade Sun, you are here."

The manager of the scrap yard had already come to greet us outside the scrap yard.

"Stationmaster, are all the scrap iron and steel ready?"

The stationmaster nodded repeatedly: "It's ready, just waiting for you to take it away."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to lead Sun Zhenhua in, and Li Kailang backed into the scrap yard.

As soon as he came in, he saw piles of scrap iron and steel, all sorted and prepared. Sun Zhenhua nodded involuntarily.

"Thank you for your kindness, Station Master. Let's start weighing without further ado."

"Okay." The stationmaster nodded repeatedly and waved to people to come over to weigh the scrap iron and steel.

Sun Zhenhua watched from the side and recorded every weighing.

On the contrary, Li Kailang was wandering around the scrap station with nothing to do. This time he accompanied Sun Zhenhua to the scrap station, and he was in charge of everything.

This mission is easy. I just need to go to the scrap yard to collect scrap iron. However, there are quite a few scrap yards to go to. Basically, I have to visit all the scrap yards within the radiation range of the steel mill.

"I haven't been to the scrap yard for a while. Let's see if I can find any bargains today."

While the people at the scrap yard and Sun Zhenhua were busy, Li Kailang took a casual stroll.

He had been here many times before and was familiar with the place, so he just looked around and no one was paying attention to him.

After walking around and finding nothing, Sun Zhenhua finished the weighing.

"Okay, I'll sign the form for you. You can find time to go to the steel mill to get the money." Sun Zhenhua signed the form, stamped it with the steel mill's seal, and handed it to the stationmaster.

"Okay, sorry for the trouble. Can you guys help me get the scrap steel onto the truck?"

The stationmaster didn't need to say much, the goods were put on the carriage after being weighed.

"Master Li, let's go."

"coming."

Li Kailang immediately got in the car and drove to the next scrap yard.

As soon as they left, the worker at the scrap yard couldn't wait to ask, "Stationmaster, how is it going? How much did you earn?"

The stationmaster smiled happily: "Hey, I made a lot of money. It's good to sell it to the steel mill. It's more expensive than selling it to other stores."

"Good!" Everyone was also smiling happily, as they would get more dividends this month.

The steel mill's purchase price is 2 cents higher than the market price.

Although 2 cents may seem like a small amount, it can add up to a considerable sum. On average, each person can earn about 15 yuan more.

Normal sales already make a small profit, not to mention a small price increase.

Regardless of what they thought, Li Kailang drove to the next scrap yard in a few minutes.

Li Kailang was quite familiar with this scrap yard; it was Bai Xiuwen's workplace.

It was exactly the same scene as at the previous scrap yard. Sun Zhenhua got off the car first and was greeted and led in by the stationmaster Wang Chengcai. Li Kailang then backed in.

After pouring it in, Li Kailang wandered around with nothing to do.

Suddenly I saw Bai Xiuwen in the middle of the crowd. He was chatting and laughing with other people in the scrap yard.

"Brother Li!" Seeing Li Kailang coming, Bai Xiuwen waved happily, and Li Kailang also waved in response.

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

"Look, isn't this my job?" Li Kailang nodded and pointed to the truck.

Just when I wanted to chat a little more, the stationmaster Wang Chengcai shouted, "Everyone, come and give me a hand!"

"Brother Li, I have to go get busy first."

"You go about your business, don't worry about me, I'm just strolling around." Li Kailang nodded. Bai Xiuwen didn't care and went to help weigh the items and put them into the car.

Li Kailang was wandering around in the wastebasket idly, looking for any treasures.

Bai Xiuwen took the time to look at Li Kailang, and suddenly slapped his head with a look of annoyance: "I've done my job, and I forgot what Brother Li told me to do. Damn my memory!"

Bai Xiuwen then remembered that when Li Kailang gave him this job, he was asked to help pay more attention to antiques and treasures.

He paid attention to it at first, but since he learned how to do maintenance, he forgot about it.

If he hadn't seen Li Kailang lowering his head to pan for gold, he would have forgotten about it.

"Brother Li, I'm really sorry. I forgot to do what you asked me to do. I'm really sorry."

Li Kailang was stunned for a moment, then he remembered: "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about this. You actually forgot about my affairs, you deserve a beating!"

"Yes, yes, you can hit me however you want." Bai Xiuwen admitted his mistake sincerely. If Li Kailang hadn't given him this job, he wouldn't be where he is today.

Bai Xiuwen remembers this very clearly. This job is not difficult and anyone can do it.

"Forget it, forget it. You have your own things to do now. You don't need to keep an eye on me. Just do your own thing."

Li Kailang patted Bai Xiuwen on the shoulder, not caring at all.

It's not as fast and convenient to pan for gold at the scrap yard as to look for old people there.

You may not be able to find even one in a month at the scrap yard, but if you go to the old guys and find some, you should be able to get 10 antiques in one go. The difference is obvious.

Besides, there are tomb robbers like Su Daqiang, who dig out a lot each time. In comparison, the scrap yard is dispensable.

Bai Xiuwen did not want to shirk responsibility: "How can this be? This is all my fault. I didn't complete what you asked me to do."

"Give me a chance, and I will make up for my mistake."

Seeing Bai Xiuwen being so sincere, Li Kailang couldn't refuse.

"Okay, then you have until the end of this month to find me an antique, and you pay for it."

"Thank you, Brother Li, for giving me the opportunity."

Li Kailang patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, go and do your thing. I'll just take a look."

"Yes." Bai Xiuwen then breathed a sigh of relief and went back to work, but his eyes kept staring at Li Kailang from time to time.

The workers at the scrap yard looked at Bai Xiuwen's sincere expression and couldn't help but think about something.

Only Uncle Lin and a few others knew how Bai Xiuwen got his job. Looking at Li Kailang, they guessed that this was Bai Xiuwen's creditor.

"No wonder he has money to borrow. With his status as a driver, he doesn't feel bad about taking out the money. I didn't expect he is so rich at such a young age."

The foreman, Brother Wu, was looking at Li Kailang, but he was thinking about something in his heart.

"Such a young driver, I think he comes from a well-off family, it would be nice for Lili to marry him."

"He is Bai Xiuwen's employer. Wouldn't it be a burden on Bai Xiuwen if I married him?"

Ever since Bai Xiuwen rejected Lili, she has been depressed, sometimes she cries and sometimes you can see her pillow is wet.

Bai Xiuwen had hurt her quite a bit, which caused Old Wu to have a bad attitude towards Bai Xiuwen.

"If Lili marries him, maybe she'll be happier. But I don't know if he's from a good family, if he has a partner, and if he's married."

For a moment, Old Wu looked at Li Kailang as if he were a wealthy son-in-law, with the same eyes as when he looked at Bai Xiuwen.

If you want your daughter to get over her failed relationship, the best way is to enter into the next one.

Li Kailang didn't know he was being targeted and was still wandering around hoping to find something cheap.

"Hmm!" Suddenly, Li Kailang saw a long stick with three broken sections covered with green rust from among the rubble.

Li Kailang picked it up and saw that there were many cracks on the three-piece long stick, and it also emitted a foul smell.

It looks like the three parts should be one piece, but due to corrosion from water and soil, they are now completely broken and covered in rust, and it is impossible to tell their specific appearance.

"I just don't know if this is a treasure? If it is, I'll make a fortune."

Li Kailang focused his gaze on his eyes.

[A severely damaged bronze dagger-shaped scepter with a handle and beads. ]

【Please select the reflow time and resources required for reflow. 】

【1.500 years ago, 172 grams of gold were consumed. 】

【2.1000 years ago, 548 grams of gold were consumed. 】

【3.2000 years ago, 1953 grams of gold were consumed. 】

“Good stuff, really antique!”

Li Kailang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he really found an antique.

He immediately suppressed the surprise on his face and turned his back to the workers at the scrap yard.

"Bronze ware, this is a good thing."

Ge is a unique weapon in ancient times. It is similar in shape to a hoe or a sickle, and is about 1 meters long.

Li Kailang touched the tattered bronze spear, which was very hard. "Could it be that the whole body is made of bronze? That would be even more profitable."

Generally, a bronze dagger has a dagger head made of copper, tied together with wood or bamboo to form a complete weapon.

Li Kailang removed the garbage attached to the bronze spear and felt some patterns on it carefully.

A bronze dagger-scepter with a handle and a bead pattern. It not only has a bronze handle, but also the dagger head and the handle are cast together, and the handle has a diamond pattern cast inside.

All these anomalies indicate that this bronze spear is not simple.

In ancient times, this bronze spear was not only a weapon, but also a symbol of royal power at that time.

Unfortunately, Li Kailang didn’t know so much, he just thought that this bronze spear was a good thing.

Looking at the bronze spear that was broken into three pieces in front of him, he said, "Fortunately it was broken into three pieces, otherwise I really wouldn't have encountered it. Fortunately, it is a bronze weapon."

This time he came to the scrap yard to collect scrap iron and steel. If he included scrap copper, he would have missed the chance to get this bronze ware.

When it is sent to the steel mill, it will have to be melted down.

Li Kailang suppressed his surprise and turned his head to make sure no one was looking at him and didn't notice anything unusual about him.

"Why not just take it away?" Li Kailang was tempted with greed for a moment, but immediately suppressed it.

One would not corrupt his character for the sake of a bronze artifact. Since no one has discovered it, there is naturally a chance to manipulate it.

"Luckily I have my people here."

Li Kailang looked at the busy Bai Xiuwen, thinking it would be a good opportunity for him to buy the goods, which would be considered as returning the favor.

He got the bronze spear and Bai Xiuwen also returned his mistake, killing two birds with one stone.

Having made up his mind, Bai Xiuwen put away the bronze spear, clapped his hands, and walked back to watch the scrap iron and steel being weighed.

After weighing, Sun Zhenhua signed the order and stamped it for Wang Chengcai. Li Kailang took this opportunity to find Bai Xiuwen and took him away.

"Bai Xiuwen, I happen to be busy right now."

"Brother Li, you said I would definitely help you!" Bai Xiuwen had a look of willingness to go through fire and water.

Li Kailang was still in the mood to joke: "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you, there's no need to do this."

"Hehe." Bai Xiuwen touched his head embarrassedly.

Li Kailang didn't waste any words, and pointed to the place where the bronze spear was placed: "There are three long sticks there. It's inconvenient for me to buy them at work. Please buy them for me and bring them back for me at noon."

As he said this, he took out money from his pocket and gave it to Bai Xiuwen.

"Brother Li, I can't accept this." Bai Xiuwen declined.

Li Kailang forced it into his hand: "Take it! How can I spend your money on what I want? Let's put things in perspective."

"That's all. Thank you for your help." Li Kailang patted Bai Xiuwen's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Brother Li, I'll take care of this."

"Master Li, let's go!" Sun Zhenhua shouted.

"Coming." Li Kailang replied. Before leaving, he glanced at Bai Xiuwen and drove off.

Siheyuan.

"Brother Li, I got the things for you. This is the extra money."

Bai Xiuwen personally handed the cleaned bronze spear to Li Kailang, along with the remaining money.

Li Kailang only had a bronze spear and didn't get a penny.

"Thank you!" In order to avoid trouble, he took the bronze spear and closed the door to avoid refusing.

"Good stuff, good stuff." Li Kailang looked at the bronze spear that was still rusty, and entered the planting space with an idea.

Come to the time machine and put it directly in.

"Since we have to flow backwards, let's do it."

Li Kailang gritted his teeth and made up his mind to pay more than 3 kilograms of gold, and his heart bled as he watched.

"For myself, it's all worth it."

The historical value alone is enough to buy back 3 kilograms of gold.

Amidst the starry sky, the originally three parts of the bronze spear, which were intact and rusted, gradually merged together.

Not long after, a brand new bronze spear appeared before his eyes in the most perfect appearance.

The bronze spear is less than one meter long, golden in color, and has turquoise gemstones inlaid on the cloud-like top.

Looking at the gem that suddenly appeared, Li Kailang was surprised. He didn't expect that even the gem could be repaired.

"How about deducting it? And getting more gems?" Li Kailang was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he decided to give it up.

"This golden scepter is really beautiful."

Bronze ware is golden yellow at first and gradually turns green as it oxidizes over time.

The golden bronze scepter was a symbol of power in ancient times. Whoever possessed it was the supreme ruler.

Before the appearance of axes and imperial seals, the dagger was the symbol of power.

Li Kailang raised his scepter high and shouted: "I have been appointed by heaven, and I will live forever."

Meow~
Several leopard cats tilted their heads and looked at Li Kailang who suddenly burst into drinking, as if they were looking at a fool.

"What are you looking at!" Li Kailang shouted. The leopard cats were not afraid of him and still looked at him with their heads tilted.

After looking for a long time and seeing nothing interesting, we went our separate ways.

Li Kailang looked at the scepter and said, "What a pity it's not the imperial seal."

After playing with it for a while, the novelty wore off, so Li Kailang wrapped the bronze gore in three layers inside and three layers outside, and then put it in the ring without worrying about it being oxidized.

"Come here!" Li Kailang waved at the leopard cats, but unfortunately they ignored him.

Meow~
"You are the best!"

The leopard cat mother rubbed Li Kailang's hand affectionately and then jumped onto his hand.

Li Kailang held the leopard cat and looked at the scene of harvest in the planting space.

"How about selling some more after the autumn harvest?"

The autumn harvest this time is not very good, but generally it will be a little better than last year.

Li Kailang planned to take advantage of this opportunity to make some extra money.

But I haven't made up my mind whether to do it or not, and if so, to what extent I should do it.

If you want to make a lot of money and run away like before, there is no point in that. What you want is to be able to make money in the long term.

But if you want to make a little money by selling a few hundred kilograms over a long period of time, there are several grain merchants selling them on the black market, so it is actually not that troublesome.

"I'm worried. Should I do it?"

Li Kailang hesitated, not knowing whether to do it or not.
