Chapter 13 The Way to Money

"I didn't buy it, someone else bought it. Besides, you don't know how I have the money to buy it."

"You don't have a rabbit trap?"

"It's lassoed, and I got two of them."

"nice!"

Hearing Ye Lin's words, Liu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Not bad. There are more than a dozen of us, and we have set seventy or eighty traps, and we only got two. How can we say it's not bad?" Liu Wei shook his head as he spoke.

"So they thought of my clip."

"Yeah." Liu Wei nodded, and then said: "Because of what happened yesterday, they didn't come to you directly, so they asked me to come over."

"By the way, how is the boy?"

Of course Liu Wei knew who the boy Ye Lin was talking about was the child who was injured by the clamp yesterday.

"It's nothing serious, but I guess I won't be able to touch the ground with my feet for more than ten or twenty days."

"It's okay."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about those clips of yours. Do you want to sell them or not?"

Ye Lin's traps were so powerful. In just half a day, he caught a weasel and a rabbit. If someone hadn't caused trouble, it might have been two rabbits.

As for them, more than a dozen people laid seventy or eighty traps, and it took almost a day to trap two rabbits. This is simply incomparable.

At first, they thought that Ye Lin had bought those clips from the blacksmith shop, but when they ran over and asked, they found that the blacksmith shop did not have them at all. There were quite a few mouse traps, but they were not what they wanted.

"Sell it, why not sell it, but how much will they pay?"

"You idiot, shouldn't you tell me how much it will cost?"

"Uh! That's right, the things belong to me, so of course I have to pay for them, so let's do it, one dollar each."

"One...a dollar each?" Liu Wei stretched out his index finger.

"Yes, one dollar each."

To be honest, the price Ye Lin asked for was really not expensive. Even if it was made in a blacksmith shop, it would probably cost so much, and it might not be better than the clips Ye Lin had.

It's not expensive, but don't forget that they are all children. If they scrape together a dollar, they can only buy one clip. What they want to do is to buy all the clips in Ye Lin's hand.

If you sell them all, that's six yuan, which kids like them can't afford at all.

"You know that idiot, there is no way they can spend so much money."

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Ye Lin thought about it and said, "Let's do it this way. They don't need to pay."

"No money?"

"Yes, let them exchange it with something. I like those weird things recently, and the older they are, the better. If they bring these things and I like them, I will exchange them for them with clips. I will tell you more.

, I have many clips like this.”

"What, you have a lot?"

"Yes, there are many."

Making these clips is easier than eating for Ye Lin. As long as there is steel, he can get as much as he needs.

"Then what do you want?"

"What do you want?" Ye Lin frowned and thought for a moment and said, "A vase! Calligraphy and painting! These are all fine. The longer the time, the better."

"Okay, I understand, I'll tell them right now."

"Well, go ahead, I'll prepare clamps for them too."

Ye Lin's previous clips were put away by Li Ran. It would be troublesome to find them, and he might not be able to find them yet, so he planned to make some more, but he didn't have any materials at home. What he got from the steel rolling mill last time

The material has been used up.

I had no choice but to make another trip to the steel rolling mill. Fortunately, the steel rolling mill was not very far from the courtyard where Ye Lin's family lived. It was only a few hundred meters away and less than ten minutes away.

Li Ran and Ye Qi didn't know when they would come back, so Ye Lin thought for a while and came out of the house. As long as he wasn't caught by Li Ran, Ye Lin could say that he didn't go out.

Ye Lin was very familiar with the steel rolling mill. He had been encouraged to steal scrap metal and sell it for money. Of course, he wanted to do it himself, otherwise who could have encouraged him.

In the past, he climbed over the wall to enter and then came out, but now there is no need for it. Ye Lin went in directly through the gate. The guard did not even ask. What could a child do when he came to the steel rolling mill? He was probably looking for someone.

.

There are steel scraps everywhere in the steel rolling mill. There is no need to go out to find them. When he saw a pile of scraps, Ye Lin squatted down and played for a while. Not to mention that no one saw it, even if someone saw it, they thought he was there.

Playing.

No one would have thought that when Ye Lin left, the pile of leftover materials would be much smaller, but you just couldn't tell.

Ye Lin is not a child, at least he is not a child in terms of his age. Of course he knows that he cannot take it all at once, but just take a little. There are so many leftovers in the steel rolling mill, and you can't use up even a little bit.

The steel was very heavy, and Ye Lin didn't pay attention to how much he had collected. Anyway, he put it into the space thatched house after collecting it. When he felt that it was about the same, he looked into the space and scared himself.

One jump.

I didn't expect that so much has been collected. There is already a lot of steel in the thatched house. It is enough to make thousands of clips, not to mention dozens of clips.

Ye Lin didn't take out the steel because he had too much. Just take as much as you can, maybe it will be used in the future.

Then Ye Lin swaggered out of the steel rolling mill. It must be said that his young age is also an advantage. If he was not ten years old but a teenager, it might not be so easy to get in.

After arriving home, Ye Lin had an idea and made hundreds of clips at once, and then put these clips under the bed in his room so that his mother Li Ran would not find them.

After putting the clip in place, Ye Lin went to the yard to enjoy the shade again. Unfortunately, he was too young, otherwise making a pot of tea would have been like that.

"You idiot." Liu Wei secretly shouted at the door again.

"Come in, my mother isn't here."

There were three people who came with Liu Wei, and each of them had a bulging waist. Needless to say, there were gadgets in their waists.

"Take out whatever you have and let me take a look." Ye Lin pointed to the ground in front of him.

The three guys put down the things in their arms. Ye Lin went over to take a look, but didn't see anything interesting. Didn't they say that in this era, as long as bottles and cans are treasures? Shit, if he knew who said this

In short, I have to knock out his teeth.

"There's nothing good. This one looks pretty good." Ye Lin picked up a vase, turned it over and looked at the base. Sure enough, it was something from the Qing Dynasty, but it was from the late Qing Dynasty.

Normally, Ye Lin would not hesitate to get such things, but if he didn't want any of them, it would discourage these children. Besides, this is not just propaganda.

If someone exchanges the bottle for a clip, Ye Lin will definitely be surprised later.

"I'll give you two clips for this bottle."

"What! Two clamps?"

"Yes, do you want to change it?"

"Change, change."

"Okay, then just wait a moment and I'll get you a clip."

"Wait a minute." Just when Ye Lin was about to go into the house to get the clip, a boy called him.

"What's wrong?" Ye Lin turned around and asked.

"Don't you want these bottles?"

Ye Lin glanced at the boy, shook his head and said, "No."

"These are all for you, just give us two in exchange."

"I won't change any of them. I said, I only want the ones I like, and I don't want the ones I don't like."

Ye Lin didn't care about this. The things they brought were all modern products that could be bought in state-owned stores, and they were not valuable at all. Why did Ye Lin want these things?

"But we don't know what you want!"

"You all should be literate. If you don't know what I want, then I'll tell you. Look here." Ye Lin picked up the vase from the late Qing Dynasty and turned the bottom over.

"Did you see it? There are words below, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing. The Tang Dynasty is the farthest and the Qing Dynasty is the nearest. I like the ones that are further back."

"Understood, we'll go find him right away."

"Um!"

Ye Lin entered the room and took two clips and handed them to them. He didn't care whose bottle he was holding, as long as he gave the clips. As for how they dealt with it, that was their own business.

Times create legends. In an era, there are always one or two legends, and Ye Lin must be the legend of this era.

At almost noon, Li Ran came back with Ye Qi. Seeing his mother Li Ran coming back, Ye Lin quickly stood up from the chair, ran over and said, "Mom, are you back?"

"Well, I'm back. Did you run out again today?"

"No, no, absolutely not. I was very honest today and stayed at home all morning."

"That's pretty much it." Li Ran rubbed Ye Lin's head and said, "Son, how about you go practice piano with your sister?"

Hearing what Li Ran said, Ye Lin's face turned bitter and said, "Mom, I'd better forget it. It's not like you don't know that I don't like it at all. If I go, I'll just make trouble and delay my sister."

"Yes, then forget it."

Since the school holidays, Li Ran found a family with a piano at home and asked Ye Qi to learn piano. Of course, it was not for nothing. They taught Ye Qi piano, and Li Ran had to give tutoring lessons to their children.

The child of that family is a high school student, but this cannot be difficult for Li Ran. In any case, Li Ran also graduated from Beijing Normal University, so it is not enough to teach a high school student.

This is also the reason why Li Ran and Ye Qi are not at home all day long. Ye Qi is only in the fourth grade of elementary school now, and she studies very well and does not need to review at all. She is staying at home, so Li Ran takes her

Go learn piano.

Ye Lin doesn't want to learn piano. For him, it's easy to learn anything. If he wants to learn, he can learn it in minutes, so he won't waste this time at all. If he has this time, he might as well think about it.
