Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Time has quickly entered December.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the snow is up to two feet thick, with a depth of one meter in some places.

The snow on the ice surface of Sanfenchang Reservoir is deeper.

Lu Changhua has been busy these days pulling several carts of firewood in preparation for the New Year.

There has been heavy snow this year, and the snow on the sidewalk to Erlongshan Forest Farm is so deep that it is difficult for rubber-tired vehicles to move along.

For this reason, he had to find Master Lin, restart the Dongfanghong 54 tractor, and let it pull the trailer for several trips to the forest farm.

Hu Dagui also came to help.

It is very difficult to start a tractor in winter.

First of all, there must be No. 35 diesel in the oil depot. This type of diesel can maintain fluidity at this time.

Like the countries opposite HLJ, the diesel they use in winter must be above -40, otherwise it will freeze on the road.

Since the farm still has some work to do in November and December, we will prepare some No. 35 diesel.

This also has prerequisites.

The next step is to replace the tractor's engine oil and gear oil.

Tractors use different oils in summer and winter.

In summer, the fuel is No. 0 diesel, and the engine oil and gear oil are oils with higher viscosity. The weather is hot in summer, and the oil will become hot and thin, so as to ensure lubrication.

As soon as October enters, the fuel must be replaced with No. 10 diesel, November 20th, December 35th. If the New Year enters January or February, the locomotive will basically not move. If it must be driven,

There is nothing we can do without fuel above No. 40.

After entering November, the engine oil, gearbox, and rear axle gear oil need to be replaced with oil with lower viscosity. In winter, when the weather is cold, the oil will solidify and become thicker, so it must be replaced, otherwise no matter how big the tractor is, it will

Horsepower will also be reduced and movement will be sluggish.

In addition, starting a tractor in winter is troublesome.

First, boil a large pot of water.

While boiling water, you should light a brazier under the oil pan of the engine to bake the solidified oil in the oil pan and increase its fluidity. Of course, the gearbox and rear axle must also be baked, which is usually done when driving in winter.

Place three braziers under the tractor.

The water in the pot is boiled and added to the tractor's water tank. There is a key here. You must check that the water drain valve of the water tank is closed.

Otherwise, if you add water here and the water flows underground, isn’t your work in vain?

The boiling water is added and the fire underneath is almost done.

The next step is to start the engine.

This kind of large tractor is not a small-horsepower "small four-wheel" to start. You need to crank it by yourself with a crank. You have to use the gasoline starter that comes with the tractor to start the vehicle.

First, add gasoline to the starter, then wrap a hemp rope around the starter flywheel a few times, and pull it hard with your hand, and the gasoline engine will rotate "bumping".

When the gasoline engine catches fire, quickly control the damper of the gasoline engine carburetor, increase the air intake volume, and make the gasoline engine run at high speed.

Then open the starter's pressure reducing valve to put the entire diesel engine in a decompressed state. Close the starter's first gear.

The gasoline engine will drive the starter to slowly rotate the crankshaft of the diesel engine.

After the speed increases, immediately turn on the second gear of the starter.

At this time, the diesel engine has begun to rotate at high speed. After the rotation speed reaches a certain speed, the pressure reducing valve is quickly closed.

At this time, the tractor's engine immediately enters the normal pressure state.

The combustion chamber of the diesel engine will quickly generate high pressure, compression ignite the diesel, and the engine will enter a fire state.

Master Lin and his apprentice worked hard and finally started the tractor.

Then he went to refuel and put on the trailer. Hu Dagui and several others were standing in the carriage, roaring all the way towards the Erlongshan Forest Farm.

For more than ten miles, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the tractor forced its way through the snow, leaving behind two snow ditches more than a foot deep.

With the tractors clearing the way, it is possible for the family members of the sub-site to use other means of transportation to haul firewood to the forest farm, otherwise they would never even think about it.

We can only use wheat straw and bean straw for cooking.

Driving in winter, it is impossible to go fast.

It was driving slowly in the snow at a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour.

Xiong Bao was held in Lu Changhua's arms and sat on the passenger seat of the tractor. However, the roar of the locomotive was too loud. Xiong Bao jumped out of the car and jogged behind the tractor. He still had plenty of time.

Smell and smell along the road, and occasionally sprinkle a piece of dog urine on the roadside as an important sign of your new territory.

Seeing in the outside rearview mirror that Xiong Bao was always following him and not falling behind, Lu Changhua no longer wondered whether he was in the car.

When they arrived outside the forest farm, the car stopped. Lu Changhua got out of the car and led Xiong Bao up with a rope.

There are many dogs in the venue, and if an out-of-town dog comes in, it will most likely be attacked.

Xiong Bao also smelled a lot of other dogs and seemed a little nervous. But when his owner held him by his side, he immediately became energetic again. His tail was raised and curled, like a blooming flower.

There are many types of firewood sold by forest farms.

The most expensive ones are birch and pine. Birch bark has a high oil content, is easy to ignite, has strong firepower, has an unpleasant smell, and is choking. In addition to being rich in oil, pine wood also smells good.

However, the disadvantage of these two types of wood is that it does not burn well and burns quickly. Most people use it to start fires and cannot afford to use this kind of wood for heating.

Oak and elm are hard miscellaneous woods that can withstand burning, but are not easy to ignite. You need other wood to burn first to ignite it.

Generally, when buying firewood, you will buy half a truck each to make one truck. This is the most economical way.

Lu Changhua bought firewood according to this combination.

This time he bought two carts of firewood, went through the purchase procedures at the forest farm office, and was given two receipts.

When we arrived at the firewood pile, there were small tickets for us to use, so the watchman asked everyone to load the cars.

With more people and greater strength, a cart of firewood was quickly loaded and headed back home.

The tractor rumbles back.

It was even more difficult for the fully loaded tractor to return. Thick smoke was sprayed from the chimney, and the sound was heard several miles away.

Xiong Bao ran all the way and was so tired that he stuck out his tongue and panted. He became more honest when he returned. He no longer disliked the noise of the tractor and squeezed into the cab with Lu Changhua.

After a short time, he squinted his eyes and fell into a false sleep.

When they got home, the car of firewood was unloaded on the roadside. Hu Dagui took the receipt to load the next car, while Lu Changhua stayed behind to sort the firewood.

Lao Lu was already prepared. He took the chain saw he borrowed from someone else, and the two of them started cutting wood on the roadside. Xiong Bao returned to his own territory, jumping around and surrounding the two of them.

The firewood used is only 20 to 30 centimeters worth of unfinished logs.

The two men carried the firewood to a flat place, Lao Lu held down the wood, and Lu Changhua pulled the chain saw's starting rope. The roaring chain saw burst out with strong power. The saw blade rotated rapidly according to the size of the accelerator, and the tail spurted out thorns.

Smoke from nose.

"Slower."

Lao Lu was worried about his son working and warned him.

"fine."

Lu Changhua cut the wood according to two specifications for the stove and the pot burning table.

The wood for the stove is about 30 centimeters each, and it won't fit in if it grows too long.

The wood for the pot burner can be longer, between forty and fifty centimeters.

"Woo!"

"Woo!"

It took the two of us more than two hours to finish burning the car.

The remaining work is to stack the cut wood neatly and then use an ax to chop it into wooden stilts before use.

Why don't you split it now? It's because the wood has not yet completely frozen and there is still moisture in it, so it is difficult to split it. Before the Spring Festival, the wooden tripod will be completely frozen and the moisture in the wood will freeze into ice. At that time, I will use an axe.

One split is accurate.

The yard wood should be divided into categories.

Birch and pine are stacked together, and oak and elm are stacked together, so that when burning a fire, you will know which side is igniting the fire and which side is burning.

Lu Changhua picked up the wood and went to the east side of the yard. This is where firewood is piled, next to the pig pen.

Before freezing, two carts of wheat straw and bean straw had been hauled in. These were used as fire starters and to keep the pigsty warm. They were piled directly on top of the pigsty.

The cut wood was piled next to the wheat straw pile.

Mother Lu also came out to help stack the wood.

An hour later, the three of them piled up the wood and went back to the house to rest.

Xiong Bao also followed into the house and lay at Lu Changhua's feet.

After resting for half an hour, Lao Lu looked at the time and stood up to greet his wife to prepare a meal together.

Lu Changhua also helped wash vegetables and peel potatoes.

While I was busy working, I heard the roar of a tractor outside the house.

Lu Changhua took the chain saw and led Xiong Bao out.

Hu Dagui and the others have come back, their faces all red from the cold.

"Let's go to the reservoir."

Lu Changhua and Xiong Bao walked in front, followed by the tractor.

When they arrived at the duty room, everyone jumped out of the car, moved their hands and feet, and then began to unload the car.

Master Lin went into the duty room first to take shelter from the wind, while the others followed Lu Changhua to cut the wood.

The roar of the chainsaw sounded in the reservoir.

With more people and greater strength, I carried it to the wall of the duty room and stacked it while I was cutting it.

The chainsaw is controlled separately by everyone.

The chain saw seems to save effort when cutting wood, but the person who uses the chain saw still consumes physical strength. His hands will be sore and his arms will become numb in ten or twenty minutes. It is unbearable if he does not change the use, not to mention that Lu Changhua has already sawed a whole car.

Hu Dagui didn't do tricks or tricks when he was working, and he was willing to use his strength. Lu Changhua asked him to take it easy and not to dodge.

When Master Lin saw that the car's wood had been sorted, he walked out of the duty room.

Everyone got in the car and returned to Lu's house.

It was agreed that the Hu family would also buy a car to burn firewood tomorrow, and Master Lin also wanted to buy a car. The tractor did not go back to the maintenance team, but parked directly on the roadside outside the Lu family's door. Master Lin's apprentice opened the drain valve of the water tank.

, drain the water first, otherwise the water tank may freeze and crack when you come out after eating.

After entering the house, everyone took turns washing their hands with hot water, and then sat around the dinner table.

Lao Lu's snacks are ready.

The main dish is chicken stewed with mushrooms, which has been stewed a long time ago.

It was filled with a washbasin and placed in the middle of the dining table.

There is a transparent glass in front of each person, used for drinking water. Now it is used for drinking. It is said that it can hold two taels.

"It's full, it's full. Brothers, you've worked hard today, drink something to keep warm."

Lu Changhua took the white plastic jug brought over by his mother, which contained bulk liquor.

It's great to be able to drink this these days. Do you drink bottled ones every day? You can't afford it. A bottle costs several yuan.

The transparent glasses were filled with white wine, and the pouring was quick, and the foam was swirling in the glass.

"Today we will drink at Changhua's house, and tomorrow we will come to my house. Everyone will come!"

Hu Dagui picked up the wine glass and let the words out first to save these lazy guys from letting him go tomorrow.

"Okay, your home is your home."

All of them are eighteen or nineteen years old, which is when they are in high spirits and their energy cannot be stopped.

"Drink slowly, don't do it!"

"What? Your house is out of wine?"

Hu Dagui had a stiff neck, his face was red and his neck was thick.

"Why are you running out of wine? I'm afraid you'll choke if you drink too much!"

It's okay if you don't say this, but when you mention this, Hu Dagui becomes anxious.

He raised his glass "Tons, tons, tons" and drank the wine in a few sips. With a red face, he held up the empty glass and signaled to everyone one by one.

Lu Changhua shut up immediately, who allowed himself to be "Lu Beibei".
