Yun Wan'er could indeed make breakfast, but whether she would cook depended on her mood. Today, it was clear she wasn't in the best of spirits, as she opted not to cook.
After breakfast, Shi Tian glanced at Yun Wan'er, who was washing dishes in the kitchen. He felt it was time to summon Shi Chui; lately, he had been living too leisurely!
"Yun Jie, you should really keep an eye on Lao Shi. When I called him earlier, he was busy giving massages to a few old gentlemen! Massaging first thing in the morning is just unacceptable!" After saying this, Shi Tian stood up and rushed out to the yard to check on his unfortunate Azure Catfish.
Last time, Yun Wan'er had released a large Wang Ba into the Fish Pond, and it had been quite some time since then without any sign of it. Shi Tian was even considering getting a pump to drain the pond.
Where could a two-kilogram Wang Ba hide? The Fish Pond was small enough that he could see the bottom clearly. It was strange that after all this time, there had been no trace of it!
He tossed a spoonful of Hong Chong into the water, and immediately, the Azure Catfish swarmed in to snatch it up. Fortunately, not only had the Azure Catfish survived, but they had also grown quite a bit—this was good news.
In fact, Shi Tian could have chosen not to feed these Azure Catfish at all. The Attracting Insects Lamp above the pond killed plenty of small bugs every night, which would be enough to fill their bellies.
However, sitting by the pond and teasing the Azure Catfish was quite enjoyable during his free time.
Before long, Yun Wan'er finished washing the dishes and came out with a small net. With one swift motion, she scooped up all the Azure Catfish that were fighting for the Hong Chong!
She moved to the outlet of the Small Artificial Lake and began sorting through her catch. The ones that looked good were tossed into the Small Artificial Lake, while those that were a bit rough around the edges were thrown out towards the outlet so they could fend for themselves in the larger lake outside.
"Lao Shi is getting massages?" After finishing her netting of Azure Catfish, Yun Wan'er looked up at Shi Tian and asked.
At her question, Shi Tian felt an inexplicable sense of crisis!
He wasn't entirely sure; when he called him earlier, he heard him mention massages. But thinking about it made sense—spending every day fishing with those old gentlemen must be tiring; it was normal for him to relax with a massage now and then. Those old men knew how to enjoy themselves, especially My Master; having traveled so much, he had seen it all!
Yun Wan'er had taken quite some time to come out; it was possible she was checking up on Shi Chui via video call. He couldn't say for certain!
With a glare, Yun Wan'er turned and walked away with her net; it seemed she was indeed on duty!
Seizing this opportunity, Shi Tian quickly made his escape. He hopped into his Dai Yue Ye and sped out of the villa area, turning on his navigation to find the Scrap Yard.
Upgrading his Fishing Box would require a lot of copper, iron, aluminum, and plastic. If he bought everything new, it would be quite wasteful; if he could get them from a scrap yard instead, he would definitely do that. After all, with processing from the Fishing Box, even used materials would work just fine.
"Boss, do you buy scrap metal here? I’d like to purchase some!" Shi Tian parked his car at the nearest scrap yard and looked at a mountain of scrap metal.
This was his first time coming to buy things from a scrap yard. However, since he didn't have much money on hand, he needed to find ways to save.
He had pulled together two million from Yi Laotou for building his Workshop, which had already cost him quite a bit. Lu Ya and several old men contributed some Rare Metals as well, but that amount wasn’t nearly enough; he still needed to spend a lot more money on additional materials!
"Buying iron? The stuff over there has already been sorted and will be taken away tonight. If you want something from this pile here, you can pick through it yourself; I'll charge you two dollars per pound." The boss didn’t seem surprised by Shi Tian’s presence in the scrap Recycle Bin.
Many people came here looking for bargains—especially repair shops. They often sorted through equipment they received before coming back again to pick out parts that could be disassembled and polished for resale.
Two dollars per pound wasn’t exactly cheap; they usually collected these items for less than a dollar each. However, for someone like him, this price was completely acceptable—it saved him quite a bit compared to buying new!
Two dollars a pound is fine, but I need a lot, so you’ll have to deliver it for me, just in Anhe Town, not far away!
Delivery? I’ll only deliver if it’s over five hundred pounds; otherwise, it won’t even cover the fuel costs! The boss said generously as he took the cigarette handed to him by Shi Tian.
They pull out this scrap metal and sell it for around three thousand per ton, with fluctuations of a few ten dollars each month, which is about a dollar per pound. Here, they can sell it for an extra fifty cents, and they are quite happy about that.
However, if delivery is involved, it depends on how much Shi Tian can buy. Selling an extra fifty on a hundred pounds of iron means driving out to pick it up and unload it; they’re not interested in that kind of hassle!
Alright, it will definitely exceed five hundred pounds. I want all those galvanized and chrome-plated ones; you’ve stripped the copper from those scrap electric motors, right? I’ll take the rest of this iron too! Shi Tian was still picking and choosing when the boss immediately objected.
Forget about the electric motors; what’s inside is silicon steel, and that price is much higher! Seeing Shi Tian eyeing those scrap electric motors, Xia Shou quickly stepped in to stop him.
You want to sell this little bit of silicon steel separately? Will anyone even buy it? After complaining a bit, he turned his attention to a few waste bearings instead.
The price for oriented silicon steel is around fifteen thousand; it’s normal for the boss to block him. For Shi Tian, this stuff isn’t worth much; just mix some scrap metal with sand, dump it into a fishing box, and what comes out is silicon steel—just some electricity costs!
After selecting the scrap iron, he started picking through the scrap aluminum and copper. Aluminum alloy is a good thing; there are quite a few rare elements in it. Running it through the fishing box can save him quite a bit of money!
Plastic is a bit more expensive; rubber is simple—just look for abandoned tires. If one isn’t enough, grab two; if there aren’t enough heads, come back to pick more. You can trade a pack of cigarettes for one at an auto repair shop!
