"Recycle the old horse lantern...... A $10,000 ......"
An outsider came to the village, riding a motorcycle, with three or four old horse lamps in the bag behind the car, and a small horn tied to the back of the motorcycle......
Uncle Zhang hurriedly returned home after seeing it, found the broken horse lantern used by his family decades ago from the idle room at home, took it and went out, and found the person who collected the broken horse lantern and asked: "Is it really a 10,000 yuan?" The man immediately replied, "True." Uncle Zhang thought: I didn't expect that the broken horse lantern that was not thrown away at home could be sold for 10,000 yuan, so he handed the broken horse lantern to the man, and after seeing the man looking at it for a while, he said: "Old man, your horse lantern is too broken, and some places have opened holes, and it is not worth a penny!" Uncle Zhang was anxious when he heard it and said, "Do you think 5000 is okay?" "No, unless you fix it."
Uncle Zhang heard that it was okay to repair it, but who did he think would repair it? The man saw Uncle Zhang's expression and said, "Old man, you see if this will work, I will give you a deposit of 500 yuan, you find someone to repair, and I will come back after a while." ”
Uncle Zhang thought for a while: You give me 500 yuan to repair, if you don't come, won't I earn 500 yuan?
"Good ......"
After Uncle Zhang received the man's 500 yuan, he inquired every day where there was a craftsman who repaired horse lanterns. A month later, a craftsman really came to the village, he said that he specialized in repairing old rural objects, and Uncle Zhang asked when he heard it: "Can that old horse lantern be repaired?" ”
"The ...... that can be repaired"
After Uncle Zhang invited the craftsman to his house, he took the horse lantern and let the craftsman look at it, and the craftsman said: "The repair can be repaired, but the repair cost is a bit expensive." ”
"How much?" Uncle Zhang asked.
The craftsman continued: "At least 5,000 yuan, mainly because the materials are expensive......"
Uncle Zhang thought about it, he spent 5,000 yuan by himself, and he could earn 5,000 yuan by selling it for 10,000 yuan!
"Okay, you fix it for me."
The craftsman took out a few pieces of iron from his bag and said, "My material is quite expensive, it is not an ordinary iron ......" and saw that the craftsman took out a small soldering iron and began to mend the hole in the lantern......
After repairing, the "horse lantern" could not find the damaged place, so Uncle Zhang immediately paid the craftsman 5,000 yuan in cash.
Since the "craftsman" left, Zhang Da has been wandering around the village all day long, waiting for the person who broke the lantern, and waited for a month, two months, or three months......
Uncle Zhang didn't know that the person who repaired the horse lantern and the person who broke the horse lantern were accomplices. Uncle Zhang slowly knew that he had been deceived, and the 5,000 yuan he had finally accumulated was cheated, and he was depressed all day long, he didn't think about tea and dinner, and he couldn't sleep well, and Uncle Zhang died a year later, and the broken lantern was still hanging on the wall in Uncle Zhang's room......
