Chapter 12 Craftsmanship

"Come on, come on, put it here. Oh, be careful."

Shirakawa Kaede commanded Torataro to place the two TVs on the ground, with such carefulness that those who didn't know thought they were some kind of treasure.

"I say Xiaofeng, these rags are worthless, don't be so nervous. Besides, if it falls, just move another one."

Kashiwagi put down the food processor he was carrying, then opened a can of beer and drank it.

Shirakawa Kaede didn't pay any attention to Kashiwagi's teasing, and moved around the two TVs, touching the left and right.

The one in Matsumoto's small warehouse had almost no damage on its appearance, but the one in the large warehouse had a crack on the screen.

Knowing what he was doing, he stood up and patted the dust on his hands, "Uncle Kashiwagi, let me try to see if I can repair them."

"Huh?" Kashiwagi looked at Shirakawa Kaede in surprise, "Really, can this thing be repaired?"

In Kashiwagi's impression, TVs are considered high-tech products, and ordinary people can't understand them.

When I was a child, I watched various cartoons at the village chief's house. Now I see a live color TV in front of me, not to mention how excited I am.

For example, the food processor in front of Shirakawa Kaede has just appeared two years ago, and its penetration rate is not more than 50%. Although it is not high in value, it is in high demand and is easy to sell.

With the development of economy, household appliances have become widely popular in big cities.

"Hey, it's all inside. But these things are not cheap. They cost 10,000 to 20,000 yen."

"I don't think it's a big problem. Have you bought the tools I told you to buy last time?"

The latter cooking machine is purely because it is easy to sell, and its value is not high.

The screen flashed, and then Momoe Yamaguchi appeared in a white dress, singing with a microphone and dancing slightly.

"Hey!" Torataro suddenly reacted and jumped up. "Xiao Feng, it's better! It's really better! It's still colorful!"

"Yes." Kashiwagi thought that Shirakawa Kaede just said it casually. It is normal for young people to have some hobbies.

But auxiliary kitchen appliances such as bread machines and food processors are not so necessary.

"Whoosh", the TV became a pair of parts. "Whoosh" the TV returned to its original state.

Torataro felt that Shirakawa Kaede was being sloppy this time. He had already spent so much money before repairing things.

"Hai~Hai~", looking at the colorful picture on the TV screen, Shirakawa Kaede also smiled relaxedly.

"Si Guoyi, thank you Uncle Kashiwagi."

"Then I won't disturb you. Let's go to an izakaya together in the evening... Oh no, you are underage and the boss won't sell you wine. Anyway, find a restaurant and have a good meal. I'll treat you."

"Come on, sit on the shooting star

The Milky Way is the railway that cuts across the continent."

With these guys taking advantage of him, Bai Chuanfeng became more confident in making big money.

This amount is enough to live in Xiaolu Village for several months.

When he left last time, Shirakawa Kaede left some money to Torataro and told him to help him buy some common tools for repair when he was free.

So he used a heat gun to carefully remove the "tear-off" and anti-disassembly signs intact.

The reason why Shirakawa Kaede chose a TV set and a cooking machine was because the former was of higher value, and once sold, it would be a considerable amount of income.

However, in the process of popularization of home appliances, the rule of first large appliances and then small appliances is followed.

"Xiao Feng, can these two machines really change money? Who can I change it with?" Torataro has only been in Tokyo for a short time, and he doesn't know that there is such a thing as a second-hand shop.

Bai Chuanfeng waved his hand, this is a necessary investment. Besides, this little money is nothing.

Then he no longer hesitated and dissected another TV into its parts. However, the action was much rougher than last time. Anyway, the screen of this one was broken and there was no way to save it.

Shirakawa Kaede knew what he was thinking, and he patted Torataro on the shoulder. "Torataro, I promise that there will be a bigger and better TV in the future, several times bigger than this one."

With this set of techniques, you won’t have to worry about food after decades.

According to his experience, if this kind of problem occurs in old-fashioned transistor TVs, it is most likely due to a defective picture tube.

"Si Kuniichi!" Torataro witnessed the whole operation of Shirakawa Kaede with his own eyes, but he still felt like he was watching a magic show.

When people consume, the first thing they consider is the products they need. Large appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines can qualitatively change people's lives and greatly improve their quality of life.

Specifically, the TV, refrigerator, washing machine, and then the bread machine, food processor, and microwave oven.

The leading products have been completed, and the next step is to sell them for money.

"Don't you worry about me?" Torataro said as he came to the corner and brought over a tool bag.

The two of them stared blankly at the TV, nodding slightly in agreement with Yamaguchi Momoe's singing.

In the spirit of persistent efforts, Shirakawa Kaede started playing with the food processor again.

In fact, he had some small thoughts, and he was a little reluctant to part with the TV. Xiaolu Village didn't even have a few black and white TVs, let alone color ones.

After doing this, Shirakawa Kaede began to dismantle the TV into eight pieces. After taking a few glances at the picture tube behind the screen, he secretly thought that this was indeed the case.

It wasn't until the song ended that the two of them sighed sadly.

After a set of replacements, Shirakawa Kaede restored the TV to its original state. Even the various labels were restored to their original positions, and there was no trace of anything unusual.

He opened the tool bag and immediately became excited when he saw clearly what was inside. There were all kinds of soldering irons, multimeters, screwdrivers...

After Kashiwagi left the room, Torataro immediately came over and said, "Xiao Feng, can it really be repaired?"

"Try it and see. If you can't fix it, you won't lose anything." To be honest, if you fix it well, you will make a lot of money.

Not to mention that the appearance and quality have become even better, almost equivalent to 90% new.

Now that everything was ready, Bai Chuanfeng did as he said. He turned on the intact TV and tried it first. Indeed, there was only sound but no picture.

After hearing about Shirakawa Kaede's plan, Torataro showed great diligence and carefully wiped the two electrical appliances inside and out.

"Momoe Yamaguchi," Torataro relaxed his body and sat directly on the ground with his buttocks, one arm leaning against his body.

There is nothing wrong with the appearance, but it just doesn't work. I tried using a multimeter and the machine didn't power on at all.

It seems that his craftsmanship has not been lost, and his plan to make a fortune has also been completed.

You will need it later. Without these labels, if you take it to a second-hand store, you will definitely be severely reduced by the boss.

However, 75 years ago, big cities had already completed the popularization of large appliances, and what is now being promoted is the revolution of small household appliances.

Torataro carefully plugged in the power and turned on the switch.

"Try it." Shirakawa Kaede gestured to Torataro to plug in the power. He also had some expectations for his operation.

He opened the cover of the power connection and found that only one wire was loose. He tightened it and turned on the power again. It was fine~

It took less than an hour of hard work, and the electrical appliances that were originally in the junk pile were restored to life again.

After this set of actions, he looked professional. Torataro watched intently. Although he didn't understand what Shirakawa Kaede was doing, he was greatly shocked.

"real?"

"Really, and it's brand new."

"good."

…

Happy New Year!
