Chapter 19 Five Oils and Three Waters
The night sky is dotted with stars, and a crescent moon is silent.
The Nanhe District of Xiacheng is very quiet at night, not as bright and noisy as the bustling downtown area, like a dormant giant beast, extremely quiet.
Nanhe District is close to the rural areas on the outskirts of the city, and there are several provincial highways, national highways and highways interspersed with intersections, so most of the national highways on both sides of the highway in this district are engaged in the auto repair industry.
There are two large auto trade cities here, where many brands of 4S shops are located, and there are several large auto repair shops and hundreds of private auto repair shops in the vicinity.
In the early hours of the morning, most of the small auto repair shops here are closed, and only a few of the more popular auto repair shops are still open.
In a small and medium-sized auto repair shop called Excellence Auto Repair, the outer roller shutter door is not pulled down, only the glass door inside is locked from the inside, and there is a dazzling light shining through the inside.
At this time, a taxi came to the door of the store and stopped.
After Xu Ran paid the fare and got out of the car, the taxi drove away.
Standing in front of the glass door and looking into the store, I saw that there was a living room inside, the store was ajar, and I could vaguely see a flat-headed young man sitting in front of a computer inside, muttering a cigarette, and was concentrating on playing LOL.
Knock knock!
After Xu Ran knocked on the door of the store, the young man did not react, and was still selflessly opening the black with his teammates, so he knocked a few more times.
"Who?"
Finally, the continuous knocking on the door finally made the other party react.
The young man had no choice but to put down the mouse and turn around and come out of the small room to the door of the store, after seeing Xu Ran standing at the door through the glass, the young man was a little surprised, and couldn't help laughing: "Xu Ran, I didn't expect it to be you, why did you come here so late?"
As he spoke, the young man immediately opened the inner lock and pulled the door open.
After Xu Ran entered the store and sat down, he took out a box of Supreme from his pocket and threw it on the coffee table, saying, "Lao Guo, how is your business lately?"
"It's okay, I can take a few orders every day!"
Guo Xinyue looks more honest and old, and he has forehead lines at a young age, but he is smarter, he is Xu Ran's high school classmate, he was not admitted to college after graduating from high school, and then he worshipped a master to learn to repair cars.
Now that it has been more than four years, Guo Xinyue's auto repair skills are also considered to be successful, and his master has become his father-in-law, and this shop was also opened by his father-in-law.
It's a little late now, Xu Ran didn't waste time, and went straight to the point: "Lao Guo, I came here to ask you something about cars?"
"Yo, has the old classmate made a fortune recently, and has he drawn the Supreme?"
Guo Xinyue is a smoker, when he saw a good cigarette, he unceremoniously picked it up, took out one and lit it directly, inhaled deeply, and the smoke passed through his lungs a few times before it was spit out: "Everyone, old classmates, if you don't understand anything about cars, just ask?"
Xu Ran said: "That's the case, if a car has been left for a long time, there is no gasoline and no engine oil in it, plus oil, can the battery be charged and still open?"
"Well, this is not easy to say, it depends on whether the oil seal is aged, whether the parts are corroded by the oil, whether the battery is scrapped, whether the tire is deformed, and whether the electronic components are faulty, so even if the older vehicle is added with oil, it may not be able to drive, and it must be done a comprehensive test......
Xu Ran thought for a while and said, "What if it's that kind of gasoline-electric hybrid car?"
"The situation is similar, but the petrol-electric hybrid car, as long as there is no problem with the mechanical parts or anything, plus the oil-started engine running, it can be charged!"
Xu Ran thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, about the five oils and three waters on the car, you can each bring me a bucket, and then lend me a set of basic auto repair tools, I have to experiment with this!"
Guo Xinyue said: "Is it so troublesome, it costs a lot of money to buy five oil and three water, where is the car you are talking about, I will directly drive you back to the store and give you a comprehensive test for free, isn't it over?"
Xu Ran said: "The car is far away, so I won't trouble you to run at night, or you can borrow me a set of tools, and I'll go back and figure it out myself to see if I can get it back!"
"Okay, I have a few sets of tools, it's no problem to borrow you one!"
"Thanks!"
"Hey, old classmate is polite!"
Guo Xinyue was very happy, and then took out a toolbox from the store and put it in front of Xu Ran and said, "Use it as you like, you can return it to me at any time!"
"The five oils and three waters, you can also give me a set each!"
Guo Xinyue didn't rush to get it, but asked, "What brand of car?"
Xu Ran thought about it, he hadn't seen the brands of the leftover vehicles in the fragmented city.
But according to the comparison of those models, it is still possible to find its prototype and shadow from the vehicles on the earth, so Xu Ran asked Guo Xinyue to equip it according to the standard of an SUV model of Land Rover.
Guo Xinyue was surprised, and he didn't ask the reason much, so he got him a set according to Land Rover's standards.
However, according to the relevant policy, gasoline cannot be taken out casually.
Seeing that there were only four oils and three waters in front of him, Xu Ran said: "Lao Guo, can you help me get a barrel of gasoline and I will take it back, and the gas station will not allow it to be taken out!"
This problem is not a problem at all for people who run auto repair shops.
Guo Xinyue smiled: "It's simple, I'll go to the car next door to put thirty liters from the fuel tank for you, is it enough?"
"Enough!"
After Xu Ran nodded in agreement, Guo Xinyue took a plastic oil drum with a capacity of 50 liters, went to the maintenance room next door, connected it to the fuel tank of an SUV with a hose, and directly pumped most of the barrel, just 30 liters.
Guo Xinyue came over with an oil drum, and Xu Ran asked him to calculate the price.
A total of 1,760 yuan, Guo Xinyue gave him a fraction, and Xu Ran directly paid 1,700 yuan to him by WeChat transfer.
It's just that Xu Ran didn't ride an electric car, so he couldn't take these things.
Guo Xinyue simply put the barrel of gasoline and other four oil and three water into the back box of a pickup truck parked outside, locked the door of the store, and personally drove the pickup truck to send Xu Ran home.
In fact, the distance is not too far, at most five or six kilometers by car.
Xu Ran asked Guo Xinyue to send him to the door of the warehouse, unloaded the things on the car, and Guo Xinyue didn't enter the house to stay idle when it was late, and turned around and left.
Xu Ran opened the warehouse door, took his things and went in, and saw that the lights in his office were actually on.
Thinking that his sister was still here, Xu Ran put down his things and walked into the 'office', but he didn't see his sister, but found a note on the table.
I saw my sister on the note written in a delicate font: "Big lazy cat brother, you haven't taken care of the business and orders of the online store for two days, some old customers have placed orders and have not seen the delivery, so that people have a lot of grievances, I use the customer service number to help you explain and deal with it, you will ship to others as soon as possible tomorrow, you haven't come back at more than ten o'clock, I'm so sleepy and can't wait for you, I'm going back to sleep, you come back and go to bed early, make buns for you to eat tomorrow morning, ^^ smiling face ^^!"
