Just when I was preparing the ingredients, this thing appeared. Isn't it like throwing a pillow in the face of a sleepy person?
Wan Feng ran out of the Luan family's yard excitedly and saw Xiao Jun, who was delivering pillows, delivering a big pillow.
Seeing Wan Feng, Xiao Jun slammed on the brakes.
"Is this the tractor our commune loaned to the brick factory?"
"Well, Captain Zhang and I drove to your commune this afternoon and came back."
Using this to prepare materials is much faster than using a horse-drawn carriage, and this period of time is just the right time for Xiao Jun to get familiar with the carriage, and it is just right for Luan Feng to prepare materials.
The cargo bed of the 22 tractor can pull two-meter stones. There are people quarrying stones on the cliff east of Fox Fairy Cave. It is a sideline business of the Shanhou Team. The price of stones is one yuan per meter.
This house requires a one-meter-deep foundation. In order to keep warm, the main building is fifty centimeters underground, so not many stones are needed to lay the foundation. It is estimated that twenty meters of stones are enough, including for building the walls.
A tractor can pull ten trucks. It's only two or three miles from the stone quarry behind the mountain to here, which is just right for Xiao Jun to practice pulling heavy loads.
I walked around the tractor from the front to the bed, mainly looking at the eight legs.
These eight legs are the most valuable part of a tractor, even more important than the engine.
For a tractor like the 22, an engine overhaul costs about 180 yuan, but 180 yuan certainly cannot buy a drive wheel.
The four front tires are in decent condition, and the drive wheels still have about a finger's worth of treads, so they don't need to be replaced within two years.
Wan Feng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the two driving wheels were free, the appearance of the tractor wouldn't cost much.
The floor planks of the truck bed are intact, and the panels on the four sides of the car are a little leaky, but they can be used as is.
The truck bed frame is intact, the turntable is the kind with a lower track, and one of the eight pulleys is severely worn and needs to be replaced.
One of the four bucket tires has exposed the line and needs to be replaced. The 22 trailer bucket uses the 6.75-16 tire, which is not much larger than the tires of later passenger cars and is not worth much.
Buying a new tire only costs more than twenty yuan.
"Let me drive it and see what condition the car is in." After checking the exterior, Wan Feng wanted to test the condition of the car.
Wan Feng started the car, drove the tractor to the team headquarters in Wahou, then ran back and got out of the car with a frown.
Black smoke came out of the exhaust pipe, the lower exhaust was serious, the steering wheel connecting rod ball joint was too loose, the gap was too large, and the steering wheel almost turned twice when the rudder was turned fully. This was closer to the direction of those twenty-two-wheeled trucks in later generations.
How can this be possible?
This was the problem Wan Feng discovered after driving the car for a while. He didn't hear any abnormal noises from the gearbox or rear axle.
Wan Feng shook his head. "I know the commune can't give us a good car, so they probably picked the worst one for us. The engine is quite worn out and the oil is burning too much. If we want to work safely, we have to replace the cylinder liner and piston, otherwise there might be a risk of it breaking."
Xiao Jun was confused: "What should we do now?"
"Check the oil in the sump frequently. As long as the oil is on the marked surface, there's no problem. It can pull a heavy load, but it can run empty. After the holidays, I'll disassemble the engine and replace two sets of cylinder liners and pistons."
"But is there anyone here who can fix this thing? I think Yang Hong and Master Huang are both in a tough spot."
The Master Huang mentioned by Xiao Jun is the driver of the Pingshan Brigade.
"That's not a problem, I can fix it."
"You? You can also repair this thing?" Xiao Jun was surprised again.
"Take me to the brick factory. I need to report the situation of this car to Zhang Hai."
After Xiao Jun used a tractor to take Wan Feng to the brick factory, he drove the tractor for fun.
Zhang Hai is arranging tasks for tomorrow.
Yijian will be on holiday tomorrow. For this reason, all delivery trucks will have to stop working tomorrow. If the goods are not received and invoiced, the delivery will be in vain.
Although the trucks stopped, the goods in the brick factory could not stop.
"Let's just work all afternoon tomorrow. We can have half a day off in the afternoon and have some fun. Now we're off."
The decision announced by Zhang Hai did not arouse any response. The members who were off work turned around and surrounded Wan Feng.
Wan Feng covered his pockets with a look of horror: "What are you doing? Are you trying to rob me?"
"Nephew, how much is your electronic watch?"
"Nephew, can we buy it at a lower price?"
"nephew…"
"nephew…"
Wan Feng summed it up and found that everyone was older than him, so they were all calling each other nephews.
Since we are all older, we can't get too much advantage. It's because you are older than us and have nothing to do.
"You can't afford it now, so what's the point of asking?"
"Even though we can't afford it now, we should at least know the price so we can have a goal in mind," someone suggested.
This proposal is a normal expression of the demands of these members and should be responded to.
"The lowest price in the county right now is 40 yuan a piece. Even if I give you the lowest discount, it can't be less than 25 yuan. I've given you the goal, so go for it."
What Wan Feng didn't expect was that when they heard that there was only 25 yuan, more than a dozen women rushed to say that they didn't need to struggle anymore and wanted to buy it now, which surprised Wan Feng a lot.
A closer look reveals that these are all women who have been using their spare time to embroider for Luan Feng as outsourced goods for the past two months. They can earn ten to fifteen yuan a month from Luan Feng.
They will use this money to be the first to enter a well-off society.
The men were completely dumbfounded. When they had free time, they just played cards, drank and boasted. Now they could only watch the women go away with envy and jealousy.
Wan Feng doesn't have an electronic watch with him now, so he is at home. He tells them to go to Luan Feng's house later to trade.
The problem with the watch was solved, and a male member timidly asked, "Nephew, how much is your tape recorder?"
If buying an electronic watch is considered entering a well-off society, then buying a tape recorder is a step into communism. This guy hasn't even achieved a well-off society yet, and he's heading towards communism?
"That one is even more expensive, more than ten times the price of an electronic watch. You should consider it at the end of next year."
There was a lot of sighing.
"Actually, you don't have to be discouraged. Our lives will be better next year. We will have many more projects next year. As long as you work hard, maybe by the end of next year you can each get a thousand yuan. We can strive to have a tape recorder for everyone."
Zhang Hai came over at some point and gave an impromptu motivational speech.
Zhang Hai's words today were very pleasing to Wan Feng's ears.
The fighting spirit of the members seemed to be aroused, and they left with longing and confidence in their eyes.
When all the members had left, Zhang Hai approached Wan Feng mysteriously and said, "Nephew, look what I just did for you. What do you call that? You call it advertising. So, are you giving me a free electronic watch? Didn't you say advertising is expensive?"
Damn, is my head being affected by the advertising fees?
Wan Feng looked at Zhang Hai with a smile on his face and said a word in a tone full of affection.
"roll!"
