Chapter 876: Borrow a rope
Also, he also wants to go outside, hoping that he can open his mind and think of a solution to the problem of 'biosteel'.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao and Director Liu of the canteen took a small car and came to a road not far from the base.
This road is also the only way to the base. As long as it is a car to the base, it has to pass through here.
There are no factories in the vicinity of this road. There is only one village. The village is very close to this road.
Originally, the driver and the two canteen buyers wanted to go to this village and see if there were any cars that could be used. But when I arrived in that village, I found that the village was very poor. Not to mention cars, not even a farm tractor.
There was no way, the driver had to return to the base on foot, and then Zhao Zhongyao sent a car to the broken down small truck.
Here, it is only two or three miles away from the base. Zhao Zhongyao, Director Liu of the canteen, and the driver drove the car, and soon arrived at the place where the vehicle in the canteen broke down.
When Zhao Zhongyao got there, he saw that the small truck in the cafeteria could no longer start, it was possible that the weather was too cold, the car's engine failed, and of course, there could be other reasons.
Originally, the road condition of this place was not very good, above the ground, there was a puddle. This canteen purchasing car, after getting stuck in this mud puddle, wanted to drive out again, but as soon as it refueled, it turned off by itself, and after that, it could no longer catch fire.
In short, this canteen's purchasing car, after driving to this place, suddenly turned off, and then it couldn't hit again. There was no way, the driver returned to the base and reported this matter to Zhao Zhongyao.
After Zhao Zhongyao found out, he sent a car and a rope for traction, and went to the place where the vehicle broke down.
After arriving there, Zhao Zhongyao commanded the tractor, first fixed the tail of the tractor with a rope, and then fixed the other end of the rope to the head of the canteen purchasing vehicle.
After fixing, Zhao Zhongyao commanded the tractor and began to refuel and tow the accident car.
Originally, Zhao Zhongyao thought that this accident car was just a purchasing car, although there was a cart of vegetables on it, it also weighed two or three tons. This tractor is a medium-duty truck, and it is completely capable of pulling this accident vehicle out.
But the result was indeed a bit unexpected by everyone. When this tractor is refueled. Suddenly, everyone heard a 'boom'. Then everyone saw that the rope connected between the tractor and the accident car was suddenly broken.
This rope, though not a wire rope. But it's also a rope as thick as an egg. Such a thick rope should have been very strong.
I don't know why, the tractor worked hard, and the rope was broken. The accident car was about to come out of the puddle. As soon as the rope broke, it retreated into the puddle.
"Director Zhao, how can this rope be so unstrong. β
Director Liu of the cafeteria also felt very strange when he saw this situation. After all, with such a thick rope, he felt that it should be very strong!
"I don't know, why is this rope so unstrong, does this have something to do with the weather!" Zhao Zhongyao can't figure out this question now, he just feels that the strength of this kind of rope may have something to do with the weather.
"Director Zhao, what can we do?
Director Liu of the cafeteria saw that the rope was broken, and he was also a little anxious for a while.
"Let's pick it up and try it first, maybe it's because the quality of this piece of rope isn't very good! Zhao Zhongyao said again.
"Alright, let's try again. Director Liu of the canteen listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he had no choice but to let the two canteen employees under him connect the broken rope again. Then, let the tractor start towing the accident car.
Originally, Zhao Zhongyao also thought that this time he should be able to pull up the accident car. After all, such a thick rope should not be broken. Even if it's broken. Or maybe it's just that part of the rope, and the quality is not very good. If you pick it up again, there shouldn't be any problem.
But this result was unexpected by everyone. When the tractor started working again, everyone heard a 'boom' again. The rope was broken again. Of course, this time it was not broken from the same place, but from another place.
Now, it makes everyone feel very strange.
"Director Zhao, what's going on, why is this rope so not strong, why is it broken again. β
Director Liu of the canteen was also a little surprised when he saw this situation. After all, he also felt that this rope would only break once. How could it be broken twice in a row.
"In this way, it is really a problem with this rope. Zhao Zhongyao now feels that this rope is really not strong, otherwise, how could it be broken twice in a row!
"Director Zhao, what should we do now, do we still need to use this rope!" Director Liu of the canteen didn't know what to do for a while.
"Let's try again! We're only going to have this rope with us. If you go back and get a rope, it's more troublesome. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Director Liu in the cafeteria and said.
"Alright then! Let's try again. Director Liu of the canteen listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and could only order his two employees to connect the broken rope again.
So, they tried again. But it's still the same. When they tried to pull it a third time, the rope broke again.
Tried three times, broke three times. This shows that this rope is really a quality problem. Even if I try again, the rope will definitely break.
"Director Zhao, what can I do about this, otherwise, let's drive back and get a rope!" Director Liu of the canteen tried it this time, but the rope was still broken, and he felt that now he had to go back and find another rope.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao thought for a moment and said: "Or, let's go to a nearby village to have a look! Although there are no motor vehicles in this village, there is always a rope! Let's use the rope of the villager, no." β
Zhao Zhongyao looked at the village not far away, and he felt that there was no need to return to the base for this matter. Although it is relatively fast to drive. But in this case, it will delay some time, and it will cost a lot of gasoline to come and go!
Zhao Zhongyao has always been a very thrifty person. If he can save a little, he feels that it is better to save a little.
"Well--- let's go to the village!"
Director Liu of the cafeteria listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, although he was a little reluctant. But he also had to listen to Zhao Zhongyao's words. After all, Zhao Zhongyao is his leader. People are leaders, of course they have to listen to others. People say they want to do what they want.
After speaking, Zhao Zhongyao took Director Liu from the canteen, and the two came to a nearby village together.
When they arrived in the village, they came to the door of a house at the entrance of the village. Zhao Zhongyao happened to see a child playing at the door. He walked over to the child and said, "Child, do you have any rope at home? Our car broke down and we had to use a rope to pull it out of the puddle. β
It was a teenage boy. After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, he looked at him and said, "This uncle, you want to use a rope! We have one in our family, I'll bring it to you!"
"Okay, thank you. Zhao Zhongyao listened to the child's words and said politely to him.
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, the child looked at him again and said, "You wait, I'll take it for you." β
After saying that, the little child turned around and returned home.
Watching the little ones go home. Zhao Zhongyao felt that this thing was really going well, and as soon as he entered the village, he met a child, and they immediately went home to get the rope.
After a while, the little child came out of the house with a rope.
It's just that Zhao Zhongyao and Director Liu in the canteen felt a little crying and laughing when they saw this rope.
"Uncle, here you go, use this rope!"
This little kid handed a rope that was only the thickness of peanuts and about three meters long to Zhao Zhongyao. When he looked at it, he felt that the rope was too thin to be used to tow the car.
"Children, this rope is too thin, do you have a thicker rope at home!" Zhao Zhongyao took this rope that was only the thickness of peanuts, fiddled with it in his hand, and handed it to the child again.
"Uncle, our rope is strong, you just have to use it!"
This kid listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he tilted his head and said a naΓ―ve word.
Zhao Zhongyao walked over and touched the child's head and said, "Little friend, we are going to use a rope to tow a car! Your rope can only be used to tie things, not to tow a car." β
"Why not, you can use it, our rope is strong. After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, this kid still tilted his little head and looked serious.
"Kid, this rope is really too thin to use. Zhao Zhongyao listened to this little friend's words, and he could only insist.
"Xiao Ming, who are you talking to!"
Just when the child was about to say something, he saw a middle-aged woman come out of the house. As soon as she saw Zhao Zhongyao and Director Liu in the cafeteria, she was shocked, and she didn't know who these two people were.
"Xiao Ming, go home, it's none of your business here. β
This middle-aged woman is still afraid that Zhao Zhongyao and Director Liu of the canteen are two bad people!
But when the child heard the middle-aged woman's words, he smiled and said, "Mom, they are not bad people, they are here to borrow rope from us." β
As soon as she heard this, the middle-aged woman was relieved. She glanced at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "What are you going to do with the rope!"
"Sister, we were passing by, and just now our car broke down on the road and fell into a puddle. We got a car and tried to pull the broken down car out of the puddle. But the rope we were holding was not strong enough, and we pulled it three times, and each time it broke. So, we'd like to borrow a stronger rope from you.
Just now this kid brought us a rope, which is too thin to be used to tow a car. So, we wanted him to get another thicker rope. But he had to say, "Your rope is strong enough to be used to tow a car."
I know that children are not sensible and do not know what we want ropes for. Now that the eldest sister has come out, you can change a thicker rope!"
Zhao Zhongyao saw that the adults of this family came out, so he told the eldest sister in detail what he was going to do with the rope.
The eldest sister listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, smiled and said, "My son is right, our rope, don't look so thin, but it is very strong." You can use it to tow the car, no problem. β
Listen to the words of this middle-aged woman. Zhao Zhongyao's eyes widened in surprise. He looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Sister, you're not joking? How can such a thin rope be used to tow a car? Let me tell you, the rope we took by ourselves just now is almost as thick as an egg! But it was still broken by the car! Your rope is only the thickness of peanuts, how can this be very strong. If it is used to tow a car, I am afraid that it will be broken by a slight pull of the car. β
"Big brother, our rope is really very strong. If you don't believe me, then I can't help it. In our house, only this one rope is the strongest. The other ropes are not strong at all. β
This middle-aged woman listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and she was also sure that this rope was the strongest. The other ropes are not as strong as this one.
Zhao Zhongyao listened to the words of this middle-aged woman, and he was also a little helpless. Since people say so, he can only believe them once.
"Eldest sister, since you say so, then let's try your rope. However, we are going to tow the car, so don't be angry if we break your rope. β
Zhao Zhongyao felt that it was impossible for this rope to tow the car, but this eldest sister had to say that their rope was very strong, which made Zhao Zhongyao have no choice. Since people say so, he has no choice but to believe them. However, he also had to say something in advance, lest their car break someone's rope and they would be angry.
"Haha, it's okay, our rope is strong, you can use it!" The middle-aged woman still looked confident when she heard Zhao Zhongyao's words.
