Era: Start as a buyer

"Chief Luo, according to the drawings and requirements you gave me, this frame can only be made like this."

"Director Xiao, this looks no different from a normal frame. The welding skills of our workshop's masters are not bad."

"Haha, bicycle factories can't all use eighth-level welders to weld bicycles. But the main problem of this frame is the stress point and material density. The ordinary iron pipe you use may rust in just a few years. ”

"If it gets rusty or broken, we can rebuild it ourselves. After all, once the car is made, we will use it ourselves, and the quality will be worse. If we don't sell it to others, even if the car breaks down, it will be fine."

Luo Cheng looked at several frames, which was a surprise to him. Although it is welded with ordinary iron pipes, it is still very solid before it gets rusty. However, it is said that the materials used in bicycles are actually ordinary iron pipes, but they have an extra forging process. The density is actually similar to that of ordinary iron, but it is slightly more rust-proof.

However, in the machinery factory, in addition to the outer frame, pedals, and gears can be produced. Others have to be customized, such as iron chains, wheels, tires and brakes, etc., which must be purchased elsewhere.

The frame actually has materials, which just need to be cut and welded. As for the gears, the machinery factory has machines to produce gears, but it does not actually produce gears. The factory has a lot of spare gears in the warehouse for the car Luo Cheng wants to make. Just a few.

As for being able to make a frame, Luo Cheng was already satisfied. Even if he didn't bring it to the future, he would spend money to buy wheels, tires, and chains from a car repair shop in this era. In this case, the maximum cost of assembling a bicycle is forty or fifty yuan. The main reason is that the wheels and tires are expensive. One set costs more than ten yuan, and one bicycle requires two sets.

But if you have a bicycle frame, you don't have to buy those things anymore. As long as you have a bicycle frame, you can register and stamp it at the police station. The material source of the frame can be certified by the machine factory. In this era, bicycles need to be registered, mainly to prevent theft and prove that the thing is your own.

If you have the ability, you can assemble a motorcycle yourself. These days, there are no restrictions on the road. As long as you can get it, things come from formal channels.

So Luo Cheng can wait for the warehouse to be completed, take the frame there, and then take it to the future era for assembly.

The material of this frame is actually an ordinary round iron pipe that Luo Cheng bought in the future era. It must be said that in Luo Cheng's era, steel management was really strict, and even scraps would not be handled casually. When an individual buys a box of nails, he or she must explain the purpose and issue a certificate.

When Luo Cheng wants to buy iron pipes, he has to explain the purpose and issue a certificate, which is very troublesome. It's better to buy it in the future era. A six-meter iron pipe only costs 30 yuan a piece, which is quite thick.

Looking at several frames, Luo Chengde asked Zhao Qian, Luo Yan and Hong Xiu to learn how to ride a bicycle.

After chatting with Director Xiao for a while, it was almost time to get off work. Although Director Xiao was the director of the workshop, like Luo Cheng, he couldn't get extra steel. Not to mention a round tube the same size as a bicycle. He also wanted to make a pair of the frame that Luo Cheng asked him to make. Just like Luo Cheng said, it would be good if it could be used for a few years.

These days, a bicycle costs about 180, mainly because bicycle tickets are not available. If you are like Luo Cheng, you can get some round iron pipes and process them according to the drawings. If you buy some accessories from outside, the total cost will be less than 80 yuan. Of course, the wheels and other parts of this car must be old ones bought at a car repair shop. You may not be able to get a new wheel, tires and frame for only 80 yuan.

But even so, it is a good deal no matter how you calculate it. If you pay more attention to it, the frame must be painted. Once the paint is adjusted, just paint it again immediately. In this case, even if the material is a little different, it can still be used.

Therefore, Director Xiao hoped that Luo Cheng would help him get some iron pipes. It didn't matter even if the materials were more expensive. Luo Cheng will definitely agree to this request, but he has to let Director Xiao wait. He can't get it right away as soon as he says it. It's hard to get things like steel in this day and age, and now the factory only has three for Luo Cheng. A bicycle rack was definitely not enough. He had to get a few bicycles for Ergouzi and the others.

Luo Cheng asked Director Xiao to wait for a few days before he would get a batch of iron pipes and then give him a pair of frame materials.

After coming out of the production workshop, it was almost time to get off work. Luo Cheng would take Luo Yan home when he went to get off work normally.

In the afternoon, Luo Cheng asked Luo Yan to take a day off and asked Luo Yan to notify her father to bring someone over tomorrow. And it would be best to go to his father-in-law's house and ask Accountant Zhao to come forward and borrow some carts and carts in the town.

There may not be many carts in this brigade, but there are certainly many carts. The cart is a wooden cart with one wheel. This is a labor-saving agricultural cart that was promoted and produced in many places after the establishment of the commune.

This kind of cart has wooden wheels and can be pushed on the field roads when harvesting rice.

Luo Cheng asked his father and others to take the winter melon back to deal with it. The interior of this winter melon was hollow. If you just borrow a cart, you won't be able to load a cart full of winter melons. In the same cart of vegetables, the weight of winter melon and cabbage can be doubled.

Luo Cheng plans to find someone to make some pallet trucks after the warehouse is completed. He does not need to pay for the cost of making pallet trucks. To build this warehouse, he plans to bring together several factories and units. This is needed. Naturally, everyone should bear some things together. It's not Luo Cheng's turn to pay for it personally.

The next day, Luo Cheng took Luo Yan to the station and rode his bicycle to the poultry factory.

Luo Cheng is not responsible for the warehouse matters for the time being. Section Chief Li in the factory will directly contact the people from several factories Luo Cheng mentioned. Luo Cheng went to the poultry factory not to contact them to work on the warehouse, but to exchange chickens.

At the poultry factory in Jiangcheng, Luo Cheng said that a new breed of chicken was bred in Changcheng, and the eggs were larger. But here, Luo Cheng did not use the same excuse, but directly said that he saw a new breed of chicken at the chicken farm in Jiangcheng, and the eggs were big, but because there are not many now, it cannot be promoted nationwide. .

But Luo Cheng has connections. If our poultry factory in Changcheng wants that kind of chicken, he can get a batch of them. Luo Cheng and the poultry factory were already acquaintances, so when Luo Cheng said this, no one would doubt him. There is no need to talk too much. If Luo Cheng can get a batch of chickens that lay large eggs, he will definitely do it.

Even if we actually get a batch of chickens and find that there is no difference between the raw eggs, it doesn't matter. The poultry factory has to supply many chickens to various units every day, and then they can be treated as ordinary chickens. Anyway, the chicken replacement mentioned by Luo Cheng seems to have no loss at all for the poultry factory. And if you can really get chickens that lay big eggs, then you will make money.

In the poultry factory, Luo Cheng easily solved the problem of changing chickens. In the afternoon, I went to the lumber factory again. As for the bamboo bed, I made a batch and now there is no need to make any more. The bamboo chairs and other things collected in the town can be exchanged for supplies as previously agreed. Let them send people to the machinery factory to get a few hundred kilograms of peaches. If it is not enough to pay off the bill, you can wait two more days and another batch of supplies will come. .

Because Luo Cheng said that making bamboo beds can be exchanged for other supplies, the lumber factory has now collected a lot of bamboo. However, since we are not going to make bamboo beds anymore, this material cannot be wasted. Luo Cheng asked the workers at the lumber factory to turn all the bamboo into very thin bamboo strips and find a few people who can make bamboo weaving and make dustpans, back baskets, baskets, and fish baskets. Waiting for people with various items to come.

Luo Cheng wants a large number of these things in small sizes. How much does it cost to weave a big basket? If you weave a small one, Luo Cheng will pay the same amount. However, the requirements will be higher, it must be refined, and the burrs must be polished.

In Changcheng and even the entire Ganzhou, there are a lot of bamboos in many places, and many places with a lot of bamboos have bamboo weaving factories. Luo Cheng told the person in charge of the lumber factory that letting them do this was to take care of them, otherwise he would go directly to the bamboo weaving factory.

However, when Luo Cheng handed over the work to the lumber factory, he had to agree to one thing. He had to contact the sub-district office in the name of the lumber factory and ask the sub-district office to carry out bamboo weaving processing to solve the difficult life of the poor households.

At the lumber factory, Luo Cheng showed his kindness and looked down upon the hardships in the world. If this work is given to a bamboo weaving factory, the factory will not hand over this work to people outside the factory for processing.

If Luo Cheng were to pretend like this in the future, no one would believe him if there were ghosts in the world. But in this day and age, there are really many people who talk about dedication and really set an example.

After finishing the lumber factory, Luo Cheng went home. He had no plans to go to the machinery factory today. Moreover, Luo Cheng also explained the matter of pulling goods yesterday, and still asked the driver to drive to the riverside in the suburbs last time.

Luo Cheng returned home at nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, and all the women in the family were busy in the kitchen. Luo Yan went to the town in the morning and took the afternoon bus back. She had just returned.

Others wanted to bring a cart, so they also bought a trolley. There were too many carts and it was not easy to commute to work. Last time, there was only one pallet truck, and it was okay for a few people to lift the pallet truck to the roof. This time, it was really difficult to add a cart.

However, if they didn't take the shuttle bus, they would have set off early. Accountant Zhao helped borrow carts and carts from the grain station in the morning. It's not the rice harvesting season yet, so there's no need to use these farm tools. Moreover, the last time Luo Cheng's father brought chili peppers back, he sold some to the commune.

This time I went to the city to collect food. As long as it was edible, I would always give some to the commune. There is no problem borrowing carts and trolleys.

Not many people came last time, but this time there were more people. Before, there was only one cart, and several people could take turns pushing it. This time there is a cart, and women are also going into battle.

So counting the time, everyone who should come will be here soon. The child is sleeping after being fed, and Zhao Qian is naturally helping in the kitchen.

There is still a lot of lard residue from the lard boiled yesterday, which is naturally used for cooking. Cut the sausage into slices and steam it directly in rice before eating. If you think the taste is too bland, you can dip it in some soy sauce.

It’s just that there are many people at night and everyone has a big appetite. Even cooking two pots of rice may not be enough for everyone, so in addition to cooking rice, I also have to roll out noodles.

"Sister-in-law, can you cut the sausage like this?"

"Okay, quickly pack it up and steam it in a pot. This sausage will make you drool just looking at it."

A sausage is not small, but it is different from sausage. Sausage can be cut into very thin slices, but sausage cannot be cut into thin slices. If the sausage is cut too thin, it will fall apart. There are a lot of people waiting to come, so just try two slices per person. If the slice is too thick, you won’t be able to cut many slices into one slice.

Luo Cheng walked around the kitchen and came out. There was nothing he needed to help with. The monkey was sent to the zoo when he went to the lumber factory at noon. He will go to the zoo when he has time in two days, not to see his own monkeys. Luo Cheng's affection for animals is not very deep. He went to the zoo to negotiate a deal.

In zoos these days, many animals are not raised since childhood. Some beasts are captured directly and locked up in them. There are many animals that are simply kept in iron cages without being released, and they are not domesticated at all. There are only a few people who have raised them since childhood.

Another point is that animal medical care is also lagging behind. As a result, animals are so ferocious that they dare not approach them and are kept in large iron cages with no room to move. Many animals are prone to death from illness or do not live long.

Therefore, there are actually a lot of animal skins in the zoo. Luo Cheng didn't want to get the animal skin. He couldn't use it except for his own use. If you get it to the future era, you may still be arrested.

Luo Cheng is interested in tigers in the zoo. If there are tiger skins in the zoo, naturally some tigers will die. This tiger skin is domineering, but it is too ostentatious. What Luo Cheng wanted was the skeleton of a recently dead tiger, and then he found someone to make tiger bone wine.

In the future, there will no longer be anything like tiger bone wine on the market, but that doesn’t mean it won’t exist. Luo Cheng did not believe that tigers in zoos would not die in the future, so if they died, they would not be buried or cremated.

Luo Cheng sells ecological rice in the future era and has some gossip about some high-level people. Put it this way, in fact, many good things will not flow into the market at all. Some rich people eat vegetables. In the TV series you watch or something, they have nannies to buy vegetables. In fact, it's not the case at all. Those who are really rich either have special supplies of vegetables or hire people to grow vegetables.

Let me ask a very simple question. Every city has a zoo. How are the animals in the zoo treated when they die?

Luo Cheng actually tasted a little of the tiger bone wine that Hei Niu brought last time. The effect was that he should never drink it unless there was a woman around him. However, Luo Cheng also felt that the medicinal materials for brewing wine might also be particularly important. Simply soaking the tiger's bones in wine would not achieve the same effect as the last time he drank.

Because Hei Niu brought tiger bone wine last time, Luo Cheng asked him to pay attention. This also found someone who could make medicinal wine tiger bone wine, but at that time Luo Cheng just wanted to buy more wine. Now he went to the zoo. Because he was sending his own animals there, Luo Cheng was asked to take a brief tour of the interior, which made him think this way.
