Chapter 72 She Believes in Gu Chengfeng’s Craftsmanship
"No need to discuss, just follow the rules!"
Shen Sisi didn't give Old Zhang any chance to play tricks. She crossed her arms across her chest, looking fearless.
"Since Boss Cheng is also interested in your oil mill, how about we compete fairly according to your terms?"
As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows provocatively and stared at Cheng Biao.
Cheng Biao has been in the underworld for many years, and this is the first time that someone is not afraid of him and dares to challenge him.
Moreover, the other party is a weak little woman.
He was immediately enraged, and his competitive spirit was about to explode.
"Okay, I'm a grown man, so why would I be afraid of losing to a woman like you?"
"That's hard to say..." Shen Sisi said, "Just now, I have passed the old man's first level, and now I have to go to the second level. If you want to compete with me, you have to work harder."
As she spoke, she smiled and made a 'please' gesture to Old Zhang.
Then he called Dong Xiaojiang and pushed the cart to the oil press at the back.
As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong smell of oil, and the tools inside were covered with a thick layer of grease.
The oil press pendulum was placed on the ground, a large square stone with a broken rope hanging on it, which looked quite heavy.
Shen Sisi stopped and looked around for a few seconds, trying to figure out where to start.
At this time, Cheng Biao also squeezed in with his men. Seeing the big pendulum, he said to Old Zhang, "Old Zhang, if I lift this stone, can you also transfer the oil mill to me?"
Old Zhang paused, neither agreeing nor refusing. He just took a deep drag on his water pipe and said, "Let's move it first! Let me make it clear, you can't ask others for help when you move it."
Cheng Biao spat twice into his palm, bumped into Shen Sisi's shoulder impatiently, and walked to the pendulum in a few steps.
"Little girl, watch carefully..."
He shouted proudly, took a wide horse stance, gathered all his strength, and held the big rock tightly with his hands like two big pincers.
"One, two, three... up..."
He roared loudly, with the force to move mountains and rivers.
Because he used too much force, the veins on his face were exposed one by one, like old tree roots.
Seeing the stone in his hand move slightly, Shen Sisi unconsciously clenched his fist and stared straight ahead.
Dong Xiaojiang stood aside, muttering to himself like an old Taoist priest: "I can't get up, I can't get up... I'll crush you to death, you bastard..."
Just when everyone thought Cheng Biao was about to succeed, there was a crisp sound of bones cracking.
Cheng Biao fell to the ground with a thud, his waist was sprained.
"Ouch, it hurts so much... someone come and help me up."
The two younger brothers hurriedly helped him up. He was in so much pain that his face turned blue and his lips turned purple. He felt so embarrassed.
Dong Xiaojiang laughed heartily: "Uncle, you are almost fifty years old, with old arms and legs. Why are you trying to be so strong? Aren't you ashamed..."
"You..." Cheng Biao was groaning in pain. He didn't even have the energy to curse and was covered in cold sweat.
"If you have the guts, go and move it..." Cheng Biao roared.
"Go ahead and watch carefully!" Dong Xiaojiang was about to step forward when he was stopped by Shen Sisi.
She said to Old Zhang beside her, "You only said that I can't have anyone help me move it, but you didn't say I can't use tools, right?"
Old Zhang nodded slowly and said, "That's right."
Shen Sisi said "OK" softly, then pushed the cart forward a few steps until she reached the largest gap between the stone and the ground.
Then, she aimed the iron plate on the front of the cart at the gap in the stone and pushed it in with a push of her foot.
After making sure that the iron sheet was mostly inserted into the stone, Shen Sisi took a deep breath and gripped the handlebars tightly with both hands.
Seeing this, Cheng Biao didn't care about the pain, and was full of ridicule: "Oh, you can do such a trick, even I have sprained my waist, so you can forget about it..."
"This broken wooden cart, be careful or it might fall apart..."
Just as he finished speaking, a creaking sound of wood being squeezed was heard in the room.
Shen Sisi jumped up with all her might, then sank down with the help of gravity, and the stone actually lifted up!!!
This scene happened right in front of everyone. Everyone was stunned, as if they had seen a ghost.
Shen Sisi gathered all her strength and jumped again.
This time, she held back almost nothing and used up all her strength.
The wooden cart was stretched to its limit, and the handlebars were slightly bent.
Once the wooden cart cannot withstand such a great force, it will fall apart the moment she falls. At that time, Shen Sisi will definitely fall heavily and ugly.
Although everyone was pessimistic, she was not worried at all. She believed in Gu Chengfeng's craftsmanship and believed that the car would definitely hold up!
Sure enough, the moment she fell, the car creaked several times and the entire frame was severely squeezed and deformed.
Everyone was secretly worried for Shen Sisi. As they watched her successfully land, almost at the same time, the pendulum fell into the belly of the car.
God!
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded, especially Cheng Biao, whose eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
Shen Sisi was so tired that her palms were red from being pressed, her heart was beating wildly, and she was sweating profusely.
"Well, I did it!"
Old Zhang never expected that this little girl could actually lift the pendulum with just a small wooden cart. It was really an eye-opener.
He took a look at the car and immediately saw something.
It turns out that the principle of leverage was used.
The little girl lacks strength, so she makes up for it with her brain.
It's really smart...
It seems that his oil mill has met a wise leader today.
Old Zhang smiled so hard that he couldn't stop and said "OK" several times.
"Little girl, you are kind-hearted, brave and resourceful. I, an old man, am relieved to leave this oil mill to you..."
Just as he was about to say that, Cheng Biao interrupted him with a roar: "Lao Zhang, you have to think it over carefully. Don't be so hard on the money. I can give you fifteen hundred."
One thousand and five! ! !
This was far beyond Old Zhang's expectations.
When Shen Sisi saw Old Zhang's eyes light up, she thought to herself that something was wrong.
She has put in so much effort, she should not lose out on money in the end.
She admitted that she was not as wealthy as Cheng Biao, and even if she sold herself she could not raise 1,500 yuan.
This old man wouldn’t really be tempted by money, would he?
She looked at Old Zhang nervously, cold sweat oozing from her back and her heart in her throat.
"Old man, you have to keep your word. The most important thing in doing business is integrity..." Shen Sisi reminded.
Old Zhang shook the water pipe in his hand and sipped it for a long time. "Don't worry, I, Old Zhang, always keep my word. Since you have met my requirements, I will not consider anything else. As long as you pay me 1,500 yuan, I will transfer the oil mill to you."
"One thousand five hundred?!"
Shen Sisi's eyes widened: "Not only are you dishonest, but you also dare to raise the price?"
Old Zhang winked at Shen Sisi, pulled her aside, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Girl, please help me, I can't afford to offend this Boss Cheng..."
"Our price remains the same as we agreed yesterday. Not only that, I can even give you a lower price of only 800 yuan. But you have to do me a favor."
"What help?" Shen Sisi asked.
"In front of Boss Cheng, take out 1,500 and give it to me so that he will completely give up."
"As soon as this plague god leaves, I will immediately return the money to you and sign a contract with you."
He clasped his hands together and winked at her imploringly.
Shen Sisi wanted to cry but had no tears. Where could she get fifteen hundred yuan?
She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do when a tall and thin figure in a military coat appeared silently behind her.
"Sister-in-law, you made it so hard for me to find you..."
