Section Chief Sun made a phone call first, and then personally took Zhang Junping to the freight yard.

There are mountains of wood of all kinds.

There are logs, as well as processed boards of various specifications, square timbers, and sleepers used in railways.

The yard is unusually busy.

The huge gantry crane here hangs down the big logs of thickness one by one from the train and piles them on the freight yard.

These are logs pulled from the forest farm on the northeast side.

The Guanghua lumber mill is built next to the railway, and the train can go directly to the freight yard.

Over there, forklifts are constantly reversing logs or processed timber back and forth.

Or pile-up, or loading.

Looking at the piles of wood, Zhang Junping's eyes lit up.

This one freight yard alone has to be tens of thousands of cubic meters of wood, right?

It's a pity that there is no money in the pocket, otherwise there will be more timber, and in a few years the state will liberalize the price of timber, which will double the profit.

Now, because of the state's unified purchase and sales, the price of timber is very low, and the first-class sawn timber is only 150 yuan per cubic meter.

After a few years, as soon as the price was released, the price of first-class sawn timber soared to more than 300.

Of course, Zhang Junping just thinks about it, if he really wants to have money to hoard, he won't hoard red pine.

"Section Chief Sun, why did you come here in person?" A middle-aged strong man, seeing Section Chief Sun, ran over to say hello.

"Old Five, let me introduce to you, this Xiao Zhang is a top student of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and a future artist!

Now I am enrolled in a work-study program and have opened a furniture store!

This is the bill of lading, you go and pick a batch of better plates for Xiao Zhang!" Section Chief Sun instructed the middle-aged strong man.

"Okay, you can rest assured! I will definitely install the best plate for Xiao Zhang!" the middle-aged strong man agreed, and left with the bill of lading.

"Section Chief Sun, thank you so much!" Zhang Junping thanked again.

People who don't know how to do it may not know that it is also a first-class sawn timber, and there are good and bad in it.

Sawn timber refers to wood that has undergone primary processing, such as boards, square timbers, sleepers, etc.

Sawn timber is classified according to the grade, and is divided into special sawn timber, first, second and third sawn timber.

The criteria for classification are dead joints, decay, skinning, cracks, bending, etc.

Taking first-class sawn timber as an example, it is required to be one meter only, and the dead knots cannot exceed four.

There are three within one meter, four are within the standard, and there are crack sandwiches, which are not allowed to exceed 15% of the timber length, and 10% to 15% belong to first-class sawn timber.

Barely reaching the first level of sawn timber, the other is infinitely close to the special sawn timber, the difference between the two is still very big.

The twists and turns in this are not indistinguishable from insiders.

"Haha, Xiao Zhang is polite!

Seeing a self-motivated young man like you, I can't help but feel hot, and I can help a little bit!"

"Section Chief Sun is really warm-hearted!" Zhang Junping smiled and flattered.

It is naturally impossible for Section Chief Sun to accompany Zhang Junping all the time, and it is already very flat for Zhang Junping to be able to personally bring him to the freight yard to explain.

After chatting with Zhang Junping for a few more words, he said goodbye and left.

Zhang Junping looked at the loading car, looked at it for a while, and found that the middle-aged strong man was indeed loading the kind of good wood that was infinitely close to the special sawn timber.

stopped staring, said hello to the middle-aged strong man, and took Huang Xue to wander around the freight yard.

Of course, it's not really hanging out, as a carpenter, when I get to the timber yard, I always feel like something is missing.

"Zhang Junping, did you really take an order from a foreigner?" Huang Xue's curiosity had already burst out, and she had been holding back, but now that there were finally no outsiders, she immediately asked.

"Huh!

I don't know any foreigners, and I can only speak English, yes, no, Goode, Good, .........Good, Where can I get orders?"

"Aren't you lying? You're not afraid of being exposed?"

"This can't be considered a lie, is it?

I can only be regarded as pulling the tiger's skin to make a banner!"

"Qubble!" Huang Xue glanced at Zhang Junping, threw him a roll of his eyes, and then asked, "By the way, where did your foreign exchange paper come from?"

"That's the money I made from selling wood carvings!"

"You can also do wood carving?"

"Huang Xue, let me tell you a story!" Zhang Junping said a little impatiently, how to stand still.

"What's the story?"

"There was an old grandmother who lived to be one hundred and fifty years old, do you know why?"

"Because she never asks about things!" Zhang Junping finished and continued to walk forward.

"............" Huang Xue stood in place, looking at Zhang Junping's back.

Angrily stamped his feet, really wanted to pounce on him and bite him twice, then press it to the ground and kick it twice.

Zhang Junping didn't know Huang Xue's mood, and he was very happy about his wit.

Soon Zhang Junping left Huang Xue behind.

He was drawn attention by a pile of wood.

Strictly speaking, this pile of wood cannot be considered wood.

It can only be said that it is waste, firewood.

Guanghua Timber Mill is also treated as firewood.

At this time, there were several board trucks and tricycles loading firewood.

Looking at the dress, they should all be residents of the neighborhood.

There was also a worker from the Guanghua Lumber Mill who was counting them.

"Comrade, how did you sell all this firewood?"

"One hundred pounds and two cents!"

"Are these too?" Zhang Junping asked, pointing to some relatively large pieces of wood next to the firewood pile.

"Those are a hundred pounds and a dime!" the worker replied casually, one hundred pounds and one dime!" the worker replied casually.

"One hundred pounds, one dime and five ........." Zhang Junping almost blurted out the words "so cheap".

Zhang Junping can also understand that the reason why the one next to him is cheap is because the wood is rotten.

The so-called rotten heart means that the bark of the tree is intact, and the heart of the tree is withered and turned hollow for various reasons.

Basically, the log is sawn in half, and then it is found that it is hollow inside, and the board cannot be taken out, and it is directly discarded.

This kind of wood, which has been sawn in half, is sold as wood, and there is not much material to be taken out, and no one wants it at all.

Buy it back and burn the pot, it's too big and there is no fever, split it and burn, the scraps over there are only two cents and a hundred catties, and you can only burn the pot when you buy it back.

Who wants these big pieces of wood that are five hundred pounds a dime?

Don't you want money?

In fact, if the workers are patient, they can still take out some usable wood from these woods.

It's just that now the production task is so heavy!

The price of timber is cheap, and the first-class sawn timber is only 150 yuan per cubic meter.

This kind of material is taken out, that is, three-level sawn timber, which is not enough to delay time.

Therefore, the lumber mill was simply abandoned.

Zhang Junping circled around this pile of rotten wood, and his heart was hot.

Thanks to myself for walking around here, I would have missed it.

In the eyes of Guanghua Timber Mill, no one wants to ask for wood, but in the eyes of Zhang Junping, they are treasures.

Zhang Junping turned around excitedly and left.

He's going to find Section Chief Sun.

He asked for all these hollow wooden boards.
