Chapter 653

In this era, there is a special occupation of scavenger.

Moreover, with the current employment market and the pitifully low garbage disposal and recycling rate, 90% of those who do this on a large scale will only lose money.

Wu Ming left behind the garbage that Neville was trying to sort out and came to another pile of things.

These are the "slightly interesting looking" gadgets found by Neville from the huge garbage mountain according to Wu Ming's requirements.

Although 99% of them are real waste products, there are one or two of them with good value.

"Well?"

For example, after a turn, Wu Ming found several pieces of broken gray plaster. After a combination, he got a mermaid statue.

"Look at this line and the image of the scale Mermaid. It should be 300 years ago, the style of the Roche period. It's barely a work of art. Although it's not a famous work of art, if you glue it well, it still has a little collection value..."

Wu Ming's knowledge of appreciation has improved by leaps and bounds.

In particular, his spiritual power is beyond the ordinary people, and he has a very obvious perception of the historical vicissitudes on real antiques. In a small range, he can't escape his induction.

Find old objects in the garbage mountain, and then use your own identification knowledge to identify the source. These originally worthless things may become antiques and works of art!

After all, how many people would care about all the turbulence and chaos in the previous war? In addition to the war, there must be a lot of good things spread out and thrown away by ignorant people. But with the arrival of peace, the value of antiques will rise again.

Wu Ming's plan is to find out some valuable ones, and then he can take them home and let James sell them.

I don't need any priceless treasures, just a few ordinary things, I'm afraid, will be enough to make the economic conditions of the whole family quickly improve.

Of course, for this purpose, we still need to continue to do the covering of other waste paper and steel recycling.

Besides, Wu Ming has a little expectation.

In the novels of previous lives, are there not all the stories about picking up rubbish and picking up treasures? Maybe you can pick up some extraordinary items by doing this. Although the probability is very small, it doesn't mean it won't happen, does it?

……

"I'm back!"

At night, after disposing of the waste paper and iron and steel, Wu Ming returned home with a 5 jiao shield in return and a bitter smile.

"Hi, Steven, how's your business today?"

James and Mrs. Stirling look at each other, and both have the pride and achievement of discovering their son's little secret.

"Not bad! Continue tomorrow. "

If the mermaid statue is included, Wu Ming is satisfied with the rate of return.

"Er..."

James and Mrs. Stirling looked at each other. They thought Steven should be hit hard. Why is he still fighting like this?

"Steven!"

James's face became serious. "If you want to help your classmates, there are many ways. You don't need to do that!"

"Did you treat me as a good man and deliberately send money to Neville?"

Wu Ming rolled his eyes and thought about it. He took out the mermaid statue: "Brandon, Angelina, go out for a while!"

When Wu Ming spoke with a straight face, he naturally had a sense of dignity. Even though James and Mrs. Stirling attached great importance to the son's opinions, Brandon ran back to the room and closed the door heavily, though he grumbled a few words discontentedly.

"What is this? Toys? The shape is very good... "

James said casually.

"This is a mermaid statue from the period of Roche. Now it has very little stock. I think its value should be between 100 and 300 gold dollars. Of course, if it has not been broken, the price will increase!"

"Poof!"

"What are you talking about?" said James

Even in the period when he was very popular, 300 gold was not a small sum.

"That's what I got from picking up rubbish today. Do you understand? You can sell it tomorrow, but be careful, it's a collection handed down from our family, not from outside! "

Wu Ming accentuated his tone.

"Honey, it seems to be genuine!"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sterling recalled: "I once saw a statue similar to this one. At that time, the price was 3000 gold yuan. Of course, it was intact!"

"Ha ha... We are rich!"

James cheered: "yes, it's from our family. Hum! No one can doubt that, after all, your mother is still a quarter of the Viscount's blood! "

"Well?"

Wu Ming stares at Mrs. sterling, which he really doesn't know.

"In that case, it's a treasure mountain..."

James said with a smile, "or I won't work tomorrow. How about going to have a rummage together?"

"Just you?"

Mrs. Sterling rolled her eyes: "I'm afraid you can't tell the antique from it even if you put it in front of you! Our little Steven is the best

She gave Wu Ming a kiss on the cheek. "How did you think of that?"

"I used to go to auction houses and exhibition halls in the city, but I didn't go in vain..."

Wu Ming had already figured out an excuse: "after knowing that those things are very valuable, I specially used my status as a prefect to get the library entry card and borrow a lot of books in this field to read..."

"Steven, you are a genius!"

James picked up Wu Ming and threw him in the air. In Wu Ming's strong protest, he stopped this action: "ha ha... You have the talent of antique appraiser! no You're a great appraiser, my God! If you are not young, you can try to get a job as an appraiser. "

James swallowed: "even the lowest appraiser in the auction house, his salary is several times as much as mine..."

"Well... This holiday, I'm ready to do it. Besides, I think these things will appreciate with the extension of peace time, so don't sell them as soon as possible, and..."

Wu Ming made James and Mrs. Stirling nod their heads again and again.

……

Many changes have taken place in this summer vacation.

Brandon and Angelina feel the most obvious, first of all, the family's food has been significantly improved, with butter and white bread every day, as well as fried chicken barbecue.

Immediately, their family moved out of the noisy apartment building and moved to the middle-class area of the city. They rented a villa similar to before.

After getting a large amount of start-up funds, James can finally start his own business. With the recovery of the economy, he soon gets along well.

And just then, the Middle School of St. George's school began.

"Just send me here. Goodbye!"

Wu Ming jumped out of the steamer and shook his hand at James.

For a businessman, driving a steaming car is more respectable than riding a bicycle or taking a bus, and it is easier to get the trust of partners.

James naturally understood this truth, and under the persuasion of Wu Ming, he finally sold some old antiques and went to the second-hand car market to pick a steam car with acceptable performance.

Since then, the life of the Stirling family seems to have returned to the track of the past. Even the smile on Mrs. Stirling's face is gradually increasing, and the whole person seems to be much younger.

St. George's middle school is not in the same direction as the primary school. It's located in the suburb, far away from the industrial area. The scenery looks pretty good.

"Hi

At this time, a circle of freshmen are going through the formalities. Vidi is with his parents. Next to them are Philip and Alice. When they see him, they shake their hands.

"Hi, how was your holiday?"

"Not bad, but you must have had a good time!"

Wei Di looked at Wu Ming's clothes and immediately knew that the family conditions of this little friend had been greatly improved.

"Well, the family has done a little business, and thanks to the Kingdom, it has finally improved a little! I'll go through the formalities myself. Where is the registration point? "

Wu Ming replied with a smile.

"I'll take you!"

Vidi volunteered to lead the way for Wu Ming: "the rules of the middle school are much looser than those of the primary school. In addition to the daily curriculum, there is still a lot of spare time..."

He looked very excited.

"Oh?"

Wu Ming blinked: "is the school willing to do this?"

"Yes, we can have a good time!"

Vidy laughed a few times and was very happy.

"Steven, don't listen to Vidy!"

Next to Alice suddenly cut in, this girl seems to have developed a lot and become more beautiful: "in the middle school department, in addition to courses, you have to join a club!"

"Detective agency, Kendo agency, chamber of Commerce agency, wisdom agency, physics agency, chemistry agency... It's very important to choose one to join."

Alice accentuated: "according to the information I've heard, the studies in the middle school only help us consolidate our foundation, and these societies are the key points and development direction that determine your future... For example, if you want to take the Royal Police Academy, you'd better join the detective agency, the military academy is the fighting society and the wisdom society, and if you want to be a scientific researcher in the future, it's the Physics Society and the Chemistry Society..."

She came closer and lowered her voice: "these associations not only organize targeted learning and examination training regularly, but also I heard that those presidents are the key objects on the recommendation list! What do you want to do in the future? "

"This... I don't know..."

Wu Ming shrugged his shoulders: "let's have a look first..."

But in my heart, I said silently, "after cramming education, do you engage in directional training? So the university is to further study? It seems reasonable! "
