Chapter 464: Learn a little craft
That's all Hong Tao can do, there is no need to protect him 100% Hong Tao, if the study number doesn't cut the things of other prisoners, then what will he take to walk around? This is also the rule here, Hong Tao can help him talk to the study number, it is already a great benefit to him, the next day he moved his sleeping position to the third position under the window, this is also a kind of goodwill of the study number to Hong Tao, everyone is mutual. 【,★.23≮x.netbsp; The money earned from selling things, Hong Tao didn't hide it and waited to spend it after he went out, there was really no need for this, although the expenses here were not small, but compared to the money he spent when he was outside, it was really not much, how much can you eat for a meal? Every time he took those girls to the mall outside, none of them could be counted? Just he bought those clothes and shoes by himself, and it was more than that.
He gave all the money to Captain Gao, and then asked him to bring in more fresh vegetables from outside when he was not on duty, he was tired of eating meat, and he could send seafood and meat at home, but he couldn't send fresh vegetables, and he couldn't keep them for a few days, so Hong Tao only sold meat, never vegetables. In addition to vegetables, bring some ordinary cigarettes, soap, milk powder or something in, these things Hong Tao doesn't use himself, all of them are used to exchange money for things.
Captain Gao is not a fool, he knows 100% what Hong Tao is doing with these things, but he never asks, and when he thinks about it, he buys some and brings them back. Since it is a rule, not only do the prisoners understand, but the captains are also clear, speaking of which, these rules are also established with the tacit consent of these disciplines, or it is simply what they mean, as for why they do this, where does Hong Tao know.
"That would be great. Now I can't eat without ordering soy tofu and pickles...... Hey, hey, hey. How much trouble do you bother......" Qi Miscellaneous stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and shook hands with Hong Tao. Then a banknote in the palm of his hand transitioned into Hong Tao's hand.
"I'll go to No. 3 for a while, I'll bring it to you tomorrow when I eat at noon, and don't forget to call me when the captain locks the door later!" Hong Tao didn't look at how much it was, so he put it in his pocket and then got into cell No. 3.
These days, he is learning a wide range of crafts here, such as grinding pendants with steel hammers, grinding chess pieces with toothbrushes, weaving tapestries with cotton threads, etc., he doesn't plan to learn a craft and go out to eat, but just by nature, as long as he sees that he can't. He just wanted to figure it out. The only thing he doesn't stick to is to carve small objects with soap, this thing has no craftsmanship, it is completely based on personal artistic attainments, and Hong Tao is exactly what he lacks the most.
Since he has all kinds of tools, the work of grinding pendants and chess pieces is twice the result with half the effort for him. Probably figured out the process and key points, and learned to do it a few times, he lost interest and just begged for it. But this tapestry is more difficult, starting from dismantling the towel and taking the thread, rubbing the thread, arranging the warp and weft, determining the pattern, and starting to compile. It's basically manual operation, and with all the experience and feel, there are not many places where you can be lazy. However, the more difficult it was, the more it aroused Hong Tao's curiosity. He had to learn.
To say that this thing is really a technical job, it is a very, very patient test. A large tapestry, two or three people working together, working every day, takes about half a year to weave.
The first step is to remove the thread from the towel down, don't think that a person can do this job, the person who can dismantle it, pick out a thread from the end of a new towel, and can always drag it outward, while dragging the thread to a book, from beginning to end without breaking, all the weft of this towel can be removed, and finally there are rows of warp threads left. If someone who doesn't know how to dismantle, like Hong Tao, studied for several days, or someone told him a lot of tricks, he could barely find the thread, this is still a towel, and if you change it, you will be blind again.
It is not enough to remove the threads, which are too thin and brittle to break with force and cannot be used for weaving. At this time, according to the size of the tapestry, these dismantled threads must be kneaded into multiple strands of different thicknesses for backup. This job Hong Tao learned very quickly, because he had also done this job when he was fishing in his previous life, and he was slightly more familiar with it.
The best way to do this is to have two people stand at both ends of the room, hold the same cotton thread, and then fold their hands together and rub the cotton thread in their palms in opposite directions. When the thread is tightened and shortened, and small balls have begun to form in the middle, a third person must slowly twist these small balls. Then the thread is straightened and hooked to the middle of the thread, and the two people who hold the two ends of the thread together and merge them together, and finally the thread is combined into a double strand wire.
At this time, there are still two people and one head, continue to rub in the direction of the original rubbing, and must not rub in the opposite direction, so that the two strands of this double strand are twisted into a very tight thick wire. If the craftsmanship is good, you can't tell if you don't look carefully that this is hand-rubbed, and there is no difference between it and the multi-strand line sold outside, just a little hard.
Because this thread has a lot of energy, so if you tie one end into a dead knot, it won't loosen itself after letting go, and it's very strong. In the same principle, as long as you have enough cotton thread in your hand, you can keep rubbing like this, and theoretically, you can eventually rub a very thick rope.
Of course, this is only theoretical, no one actually does it, and you don't even think about running away, even if you are given a ready-made rope, you can't run. The main reason is not how strict the discipline is, but that these prisoners around you are trying their best to figure out who is going to escape, as long as you have abnormal behavior, you can rest assured, after a while, the discipline will know, everyone is holding back to report who to report, and then reduce their sentence. And a dozen or even more people live in the same room all day, and you can't hide a fart, let alone any preparations.
The prison escape situation shown in those movies can only be born in one kind of prisoner, that is, a prisoner like Hong Tao, who can have the opportunity to go out to work and has a lot of freedom. But the problem arises again, prisoners who obtain this qualification generally need several hard conditions. First of all, you have to be in a correctional relationship, and secondly, you can't be a vicious crime, which means robbery, gunpoint, murder, arson, etc., and finally your sentence can't be too long. If all these conditions were met, then the prisoner would not have escaped from prison at the risk of being beaten to death.
There is also a special condition, that is, after going down to the farm of Chadian, there is basically the opportunity to go out to work, whether it is digging shrimp ponds, going to orchards or raising pigs, etc., you have to go outdoors, and there are slightly more opportunities to escape. However, strictly speaking, there are not many opportunities there, because as long as you go out to work, you will not only discipline and lead the team, but also follow a few armed police soldiers with guns around, and there will be a cordon in the place of labor, and the prisoners are not allowed to approach this line, otherwise they will shoot directly after the warning, and there will be few opportunities to escape.
There are very few people who really want to escape, especially in prisons like the South Building, where there are no felons, everyone is only seven or eight years at most, and there is a lack of that kind of vicious goods, and basically no one will think about it. But there are exceptions to everything, and it can't be said that there is no one, there are some prisoners who have something on their backs, and they are also big things, they will definitely use this brain, because if they stay here, it means that they will die sooner or later, and if they can escape, there is a glimmer of hope for life.
This kind of person is generally a habitual offender, often carrying human life on his back, and they are generally caught because of some trivial matter or accident, and the corrections do not know that he is carrying a big case. But they are afraid of themselves, because this kind of person basically has accomplices, and this kind of person is not a safe thing, once the accomplice commits something one day and folds in, he will be confessed in order to exonerate himself from the crime and make meritorious contributions, so that he doesn't even have to run, he is already serving his sentence, and the police go directly to the prison to take people back to the detention center, and when they get there, it is basically impossible to run.
These things are all things that Hong Tao has listened to in the past few months, so he himself is also very careful, whether he usually works in the factory, or he goes to the prison cell to learn the craft when he has nothing to do, he pays special attention to everyone he comes into contact with, and tries to contact those habitual offenders, especially habitual offenders who commit vicious crimes. It doesn't matter if your skills are good or not, whether your brain is good or not, whether your eloquence is good or not, you just talk about smallpox, I don't care about you, you can't rely on me.
In fact, he was also overly careful, with discipline, chores, study numbers and prison inmates, this layer of screening, there are basically no dangerous elements who can still get through the test. But he still doesn't feel at ease, he doesn't want to eat this melon by himself, in case one day a prisoner really escapes, whether he escapes successfully or not, and finally confesses that he has sold him something that will help him escape, it is not unlucky. Not to mention commutation of sentence, if you don't increase the sentence, it's a good thing, this kind of good life will come to an end, Liu Zhong will definitely not be able to keep himself, and eighty percent will be sent directly to the strict management team to live like a year.
So every time he brought silk thread, he only brought a small part of it, and he brought as much as he wanted, and sent it over at any time when he ran out, anyway, he was close to here. The main force of the tapestry for him was two old guns, both of whom were about fifty years old, one was a crane driver in the factory, who violated the operating procedures, and as a result, he caused an accident and committed manslaughter, and was sentenced to eight years, and the other was an old thief, who focused on sliding doors and picking locks for many years, and this was the fourth time he came in, because he was a habitual offender, he was originally guilty of three or four years, and he was directly sentenced to seven years.
