Leaving the shanty town, Lin Cheng walked about two kilometers and found the parts processing factory that Huang Yang mentioned.
Huang Yang is the repairman who lives next to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's shed.
The other party is 24 years old, and his hometown is in a small county in City A, Province M.
Before coming here, Huang Yang worked as an apprentice in a car repair shop in his hometown. He came to this city a few years ago to meet netizens.
After being cheated by netizens, Huang Yang felt ashamed to go back to his hometown, so he stayed here.
Relying on his previous experience as an apprentice in a car repair shop, Huang Yang would go to some repair shops to do odd jobs during the day, or be temporarily dispatched to some construction sites to help repair machinery, but his income was pitifully lower than those of regular repairers.
Therefore, occasionally I heard that where there is unloading and moving work at night, Huang Yang will go there, and from time to time, I can also take on some mechanical installation work.
Lin Cheng came here because the other party said that the processing plant had a batch of equipment that needed to be unloaded at night.
—
Lin Cheng came outside the processing factory, and after explaining his purpose to the guards on duty, one of them took Lin Cheng to an entrance passage on the side of the factory.
At this time, Huang had already stood here with a dozen or so people waiting to unload.
Boxwood is also among them.
Seeing Lin Cheng, Huang Yang greeted him: "Brother Cheng, you are here."
"I heard that today is another batch of large combined equipment that will be moved into the factory building behind us. There should be eleven or twelve units." Huang Yang introduced.
"This kind of equipment usually comes in several pieces. Each piece is composed of several parts, all of which are fully assembled. When unloading, just move the whole piece down. It's not troublesome, but you have to be careful during the process."
"Although it's a little troublesome, this kind of combined and assembled goods can be moved quickly, and the money paid is much more than that of those loose goods." Huang Yang said to Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng nodded and asked again, "What time will the goods arrive?"
"Let's come here around 11:00 p.m., let me see..." Huang Yang glanced at the time on his phone, and said, "It's 11:25, it should be soon."
As soon as Huang Yang finished speaking, the side door of the processing factory opened, and a truck pulling equipment drove towards this side.
Workers from the two factories commanded the trucks to drive to the gate of the factory building.
After the truck was parked, the supervisor came over and called the dozen or so people here to prepare for unloading.
"There are a total of 12 pieces of equipment in this batch, and each piece is divided into 3 full boxes with numbers. You will move them in order later. Don't make a mistake. Each person will give you 8 yuan per piece of equipment."
"If there is no problem, let's start," the supervisor shouted to the crowd, paused, and then emphasized: "Everyone, be careful, these devices are not light. When you carry them, be more stable. Don't tilt them. No bumps!"
"Let's go, Brother Cheng." Huang Yang said to Lin Cheng.
After more than a dozen people came to the truck compartment, they did a simple division of labor—several people dragged out the packaged goods on the truck in order of number, and the other people cooperated with the unloading mechanical truck to **** the equipment to the factory building.
Soon, the three boxes of the first equipment were moved down.
"Where are these going? Should they be stacked outside first or moved directly inside?" One of the temporary movers asked the factory staff while holding the boxes.
"The equipment that has been unloaded first is moved inside first." A staff member said, and then directed several porters to move the boxes to the innermost area of the factory building.
The porters put the three boxes away and prepared to remove the outer packing box of the equipment quickly.
At this moment, the assistant in charge ran over and stopped everyone.
"Wait, everyone, this package can't be opened yet!"
"What's going on?" The supervisor looked at the assistant and asked.
The supervisor assistant checked the outer box of the equipment, and then checked the information on the mobile phone, and then said: "It seems that the outer box of these equipment is connected with a stable movement and positioning card, and cannot be removed immediately. After removal, It is very troublesome to adjust the position of the equipment.”
"Are you saying that the location of several components must be fixed before it can be installed?" the supervisor asked.
"Yes, that should be the case."
At this time, a porter at the side said: "But these things are covered in the box, and there is no explanation. You can't tell which end is right and which is where."
The porter's words were not unreasonable, and the on-site supervisor and several factory workers were silent for a few seconds.
On the other side, several other porters had already unloaded several boxes of the second equipment from the car and were moving them into the factory building.
"Wait for those outside first, don't move any more inside." The supervisor stopped a few porters at the gate of the factory building, frowned and whispered: "The first one is not done yet, wait until the second one and the third one behind." …After all the houses are moved in, there is not enough space, so how can we adjust?”
After all, the supervisor looked at the assistant next to him with dissatisfaction, and accused: "Since there is such a problem, why didn't you think about it earlier?"
"I..." The assistant looked embarrassed.
This time the equipment was imported from abroad, and it was also the first time that their factory tried to use this equipment. He did not consider some details—most of the equipment they used before was moved to the factory after the parts were hired. The technical master came to assemble it. I didn't expect this company's fully assembled equipment to have such restrictions.
"Is the technician here? Can I come over now?" the supervisor asked.
"The technicians and debuggers arranged by the other company are not in our city yet, and they will come over the day after tomorrow." The assistant replied.
After thinking about it, the assistant in charge suggested again: "Why don't we let the workers unload those goods and put them on the open space next to the wall at the entrance of the factory building, and wait for the other party's technical master to come over tomorrow and then move them in for installation?"
As soon as the assistant said this, he was first opposed by the temporary porters on site.
"We're all here, you can't let us just do half of it."
"That's right. If I didn't often take jobs from you here, I wouldn't be here today. I would have received another job to unload the goods."
"We have moved here, and the time has been delayed. Today's wages still have to be paid to us according to the 9 yuan we said before."
…
The supervisor also frowned, and said disapprovingly: "I will do it together when I move in today, and I will find a group of people tomorrow, or let the workers of our factory come to move, and there will be an additional cost, and the original demolition costs will be increased." The outer clothing that came down was cleaned up immediately, and it will have to be laborious to get out tomorrow."
"The increased cost is not high, but who will pay for it? It will be deducted from your salary?" The supervisor looked at the assistant and asked.
"And I called the report above, saying that the equipment is in place tonight, and it will be commissioned and tested tomorrow. Are you telling me that the technician over there will not arrive until the day after tomorrow?"
Facing the supervisor's reprimand, the assistant lowered his head.
"Where are Mr. Liu and Mr. Zeng from our factory? Does anyone know this?" The supervisor asked, and before the assistant could answer, he looked around the site again and asked, "Are there mechanics and mechanics on site?" got it?"
Hearing this, the assistant seemed to think of something, and found Huang Yang and another person in the crowd: "Xiao Huang, Xiao Li, aren't you mechanics? Let's see if this can be done."
Huang Yang, who was named, looked at the box in front of him in a daze.
When he unloaded the factory here before, he would occasionally help them with simple equipment installation, but that was just **** a screw and doing a little welding. Correspondence.
Huang Yang looked at several boxes carefully, and finally shook his head.
And another repairman who was named also looked at the exterior of the equipment and studied it, and said: "It should be according to the number, this one is placed against the wall, this..."
The repairman commanded.
Just when several other people were about to adjust the position of the equipment according to the command of the repairman, they were interrupted by Lin Cheng.
"Turn it another 180 degrees, and now the outward side is facing inward, close to the power box." Lin Cheng said.
"Turn again?" Everyone looked at Lin Cheng suspiciously.
Lin Cheng pointed to a sign on the outer box and explained to everyone: "This sign means that the power input is connected."
Everyone looked in the direction of Lin Cheng's finger, and they saw a sign and a row of incomprehensible text in an inconspicuous place.
"In addition, place the No. 2 box at a distance of 1±0.5cm." Lin Cheng glanced at the label on the other side of the carton and said.
"Brother Cheng, you know how to do this? Have you done it before?" Huang Yang looked at Lin Cheng in surprise and asked.
Even the supervisor at the side looked at Lin Cheng when he heard the sound.
"No." Lin Cheng said calmly.
After finishing speaking, Lin Cheng took another look at the assembled equipment and said, "But it shouldn't be difficult."
"Is there an instruction manual?" Lin Cheng asked.
"Yes." The assistant at the side quickly found an instruction manual in the package of materials that came with the shipment and handed it to Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng took the manual and briefly read it.
Seeing Lin Cheng's serious expression, Huang Yang couldn't help asking, "Brother Cheng, can you understand English?"
"no."
"ah?"
"This is in German." Lin Cheng explained, and then directly translated the content of the first page of the manual into Chinese and read it again.
The supervisor took the manual and translated a page with the translation software on the phone, only to find that what Lin Cheng read was actually correct.
Suddenly, the supervisor looked at Lin Cheng with surprise and trust in his eyes.
Lin Cheng carefully read the equipment assembly, installation and commissioning instructions at the back of the manual.
After thinking for a while in his mind, Lin Cheng looked at the supervisor in front of him again, and said, "I should be able to unpack and assemble these devices, up to the previous step of technical debugging."
"Are you sure?" The supervisor looked at Lin Cheng suspiciously: she also read the contents of the instruction manual with translation software, and she could barely understand the words and sentences, but even if she understood the text, she still didn't understand how to do it when it came to the installation part. She didn't even understand how to disassemble the outer box and those disposable positioning stabilizers. Therefore, the supervisor did not believe that Lin Cheng would install it after reading the instructions.
"Just this one right now, you can let me try it." Lin Cheng pointed to the three boxes next to him, which had been determined to be placed under his command.
After all, without waiting for the supervisor to speak, Lin Cheng continued: "The cost of the company's arrangement of technicians to guide the unpacking should not be cheap. If possible, I can help you get a pre-commissioning one. It only costs 50 yuan each. .”
Lin Cheng's words moved the supervisor a little, but he still hesitated.
"What if you can't do it?"
"Anyway, the location of the equipment has been determined. Even if I fail to fix it, you have nothing to lose, right?" Lin Cheng said lightly.
Lin Cheng's last words hit the supervisor's heart: her report has been typed up, if there is still a bunch of unopened goods here tomorrow, the leaders above will definitely be dissatisfied with her work, but if today can Install the equipment first, and at least be able to fool the past when the leader comes to inspect tomorrow.
The supervisor hesitated again and again, but finally nodded and said, "This is the only one, I'll watch it here, you can try it."
"But the price of 50 is too high, I can only give you 30."
Lin Cheng didn't speak, but looked at each other.
"That's 40 units. My budget is limited. There are 12 units here, and I can only give 40 units at most." The supervisor said.
"Yes." Lin Cheng nodded, and began to direct the on-site staff and porters to act.
The reason why the equipment side designed the exterior of the product like this is not only a technical convenience, but also an anti-counterfeiting method.
As for why they didn't explain clearly in the early stage, and didn't arrange technical personnel along with the goods, it was nothing more than a way for the distributor to increase additional income.
Fortunately, as long as you can understand the instructions, the disassembly and assembly process is actually not complicated.
Soon, under the command of Lin Cheng, three factory workers, Huang Yang and another repairman assembled the first equipment together.
The assistant in charge flipped through the promotional pictures provided by the agent before and compared them with the equipment in front of him, and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, that's right, that's what's on their promotional pictures, so it shouldn't be wrong."
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but exclaim:
[It really looks like that! 】
[Is this all right? 】
[Lin Cheng is too smart, he can figure it out by reading the manual temporarily. 】
[I admire the one who never understood the instruction manual. 】
[Haha, don't forget, last week Lin Cheng was the 'overlord' who revitalized a farm, this manual is trivial. 】
[Sure enough, the saying 'knowledge is power' is true. 】
[I just want to know, what else does Lin Cheng know? ! 】
…
Here, the supervisor also carefully looked at the assembled equipment, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded and said to everyone: "Then let's continue."
"Those unloading outside, as well as our staff, hurry up!" The supervisor shouted at everyone again.
With the experience in assembling the first equipment, the efficiency of everyone has improved a lot when it comes to the next few.
Soon, with the joint efforts of everyone, all the equipment was assembled.
Delighted, the supervisor simply increased the original salary of 8 yuan per set to 10 yuan per set.
"Thank you for your hard work today." The supervisor asked the assistant to pay the temporary workers, and thanked Lin Cheng again.
Although he worked a little more, he also earned more than 20 yuan. Therefore, Huang Yang was very happy when he got his wages.
But when he saw the five 100-yuan bills that Lin Cheng got next to him, he suddenly felt that the more than 100 yuan in his hand was not so fragrant...
"If I get married and have a child in the future, I will definitely let him study hard." Huang Yang said.
——He knew that Lin Cheng came here to shoot the show, which was different from them, so he wouldn't be jealous of Lin Cheng's extra money, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart: Learn more, master more knowledge. It is good.
The two chatted all the way and walked towards Chaoyang Community.
…
It was already one o'clock at night when Lin Cheng returned to where they lived.
Lin Cheng opened the door. At this time, Lin Momo was still sitting on the bed with her eyes wide open.
"Why haven't you slept yet? Are you not sleepy?" Lin Cheng walked into the room and asked.
Sleepy…
At this moment, Lin Momo was so sleepy that her eyes were staring and her head was in a daze.
It's just that before Lin Cheng arrived, Lin Momo was still unwilling to sleep.
"I'm waiting for you, and then I want to tell you, um..." Lin Momo muttered a few words in a daze.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng was a little amused.
"I'm back, sleep well if you're sleepy." Lin Cheng patted Lin Momo's head lightly and said.
"Well, okay, good night, Dad..." Lin Momo tucked into the quilt, thought of something, and yawned again: "Uncle Hu next door and Aunt Yang left half a pot of hot water for you on their earthen stove..."
"Okay, I see, go to sleep."
Lin Momo turned over and soon fell asleep.
Lin Cheng went out to wash up, and borrowed a deck chair from the next door.
This is a plastic deck chair used by the swimming pool. I don't know where the Hu Mao family got it.
Lin Cheng put the recliner next to Lin Momo's bed and fell asleep.
…
The next day, Lin Momo woke up from the bed before dawn. Secretly looked around the surrounding environment, until the drowsiness completely faded, Lin Momo realized that this is the house they will live in this week.
After some tidying up yesterday, this room finally broke away from the scope of a 'shed' and now looks like a house.
Lin Momo sat on the bed for a while, but she didn't want to wake up Lin Cheng who was on the recliner next to her.
Finally, Lin Momo carefully walked around Lin Cheng and tiptoed out of the house.
outside.
The Hu Mao family next door had already woken up.
The husband and wife were sitting at a small table deftly wrapping the steamed buns that were going to be sold later.
Lin Momo said good morning to the two of them, moved a small stool to sit beside her, and planned to learn how the two of them made buns.
As a result, he didn't learn the technique, and Lin Momo was choked by the smoke drifting over from the side and coughed for a while.
At this time, a large pot of soybean milk was burning on the earthen stove next to it.
In order to save money, the couple added some wood picked up nearby in addition to cheap bituminous coal in the stove, and the smoke was very dusty after burning.
"There's a lot of smoke over there, don't sit there." Yang Fang said.
After speaking, Yang Fang got up and glanced at the soy milk in the pot again.
Seeing that the pot of soybean milk was cooked, Yang Fang lifted the pot down.
Yang Fang asked Lin Momo and her two children to sit on the threshold of her house. She took three bowls, scooped a spoonful of soy milk, and scooped a spoonful of tender tofu from another pot. He took a spoonful of sugar and handed it to the three of them one by one.
"Thank you..." Lin Momo accepted the soymilk handed over with some embarrassment, and thanked her.
"You're welcome, stir it with a spoon before eating, be careful of it being hot." Yang Fang said to Lin Momo, and after she finished speaking, she said to her eldest daughter, "Feed my sister."
"Okay." The two replied in unison.
While the three children were eating, Yang Fang turned around and continued to get busy.
—
Lin Momo happily ate a bowl of soft tofu and soy milk, but when she took the bowl over, she saw Hu Mao and Yang Fang eating another bowl of soaked soybeans.
The bean beating machine is modified from a bicycle frame. Hu Mao keeps stepping on the pedals below, and the bean beating machine above will follow suit. Yang Fang adds beans from time to time.
The fine pulp flowed down the gauze into the pot next to it, and the remaining coarse residue was filtered to the other side.
Yang Fang beat and squeezed the coarse dregs several times until the soy milk could no longer be produced, and then threw the remaining part into the bucket next to it.
Lin Momo watched curiously from the side, seeing that Yang Fang finished processing another bowl of beans, got up and seemed to be planning to pour the pile of bean dregs into a dirty bucket next to her, so she called out to him.
"Aunt Yang, do you want to throw away those?"
"You mean these bean dregs? Yes, these are useless." Yang Fang said.
After finishing speaking, seeing Lin Momo's distressed face, Yang Fang smiled and explained: "People here don't like to eat these things, they can't afford them, they can't be sold, and they're useless..."
Although their family occasionally saves some bean dregs for cooking, but after all, there are few people in their family, so they can't finish eating so much.
She simply put the remaining bean dregs in the bucket over there, and after letting it rot, those who grow vegetables and raise chickens nearby can take it.
Lin Momo stared at the pot of bean dregs for a long time, and suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up.
"Aunt Yang, can you not throw away these bean dregs?" Lin Momo asked.
"you want?"
"Yeah," Lin Momo nodded, and said, "You can sell these to me."
Hearing this, Yang Fang couldn't help laughing: "These are not worth much anymore. If you want them to sell or not, I'll give them to you."
"However," Yang Fang looked at Lin Momo suspiciously, and asked again, "What are you doing with these? There are so many."
"Well, well, I have to discuss it with my father."
Lin Momo had an idea in her mind, so she couldn't wait to run back to the house to discuss with Lin Cheng.
"Dad, I thought of a way to make money!" Lin Momo said excitedly.
Seeing that Lin Cheng was still sleeping, and suddenly thinking that Lin Cheng hadn't slept well these two nights, Lin Momo quickly closed her mouth.
After thinking about it, Lin Momo moved a stool and sat next to Lin Cheng, quietly waiting for him to wake up.
