Chapter 90: Turning Trash into Treasure
Under the instruction of Old Man Yang, the van went straight back to the flower and bird market outside the Sixth Ring Road, but did not stop in front of Pinwenzhai's shop, but drove directly to the door of the cutting workshop located in the innermost part of the market. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He skillfully used a piece of red thick square wood, sticking to the chainsaw back and forth a few times, after removing the side skin, began to cut in the middle, the technique is fast and capable, horizontal and vertical several times, this piece of material is hard to be one for two, two for four to cut into a dozen or so 2.3 cm thick cube, as the chainsaw was turned off the power, the loud noise suddenly stopped, the surrounding environment quieted down, but a slightly sour wood fragrance was diffused all around.
Boss Liu took off his mask, took a small basin from the side, and began to put all the cut wooden pieces in it, and was about to turn around and go back to the store when Old Man Yang suddenly spoke
"Boss Liu, you're busy enough, we've been standing here for a long time, why don't you even say hello?"
"Yo, Uncle Yang! Hurry, hurry, sit inside" Boss Liu turned around and saw the person who spoke, and he didn't even have time to put down the basin in his hand, so he greeted enthusiastically.
Lu Ming and Su Long carried bags full of wood, and followed Old Man Yang and others into the workshop, after Boss Liu entered, he first handed the small basin to the workers who operated the machine tools in a compartment, Lu Ming was a little curious when he saw this
"Boss Liu, what does this machine tool do?"
Boss Liu, who was following behind Old Man Yang, heard this, and smiled, "Little brother, this is not the machine tool of Che Zhu, Uncle Yang didn't even tell you about this."
"Do you still have to be taught such a small thing?" Old man Yang was a little dissatisfied with Lu Ming's current state, and seemed to feel that Lu Ming had embarrassed him, but fortunately, this kid was thick-skinned and didn't take it to heart, but just smiled and said, "I'll work hard in the future"
Before he finished speaking, the man ran around the cubicle again, and looked inside a few times from time to time.
The master who operates the machine tool in the compartment first takes out the cube wooden block in the basin, punches the hole along the center, and then fixes the wooden block at one end of the lathe, rotates with the crank in his hand, rotates the knife edge quickly, and begins to slowly approach the wooden block, back and forth several collisions, the four corners of the cube wooden block gradually disappear, and slowly becomes a ball, so repeated several times, this pot of wooden blocks quickly becomes beads, and then the staff gets up with a small basin and walks to the corner of the compartment, fixes the beads in the basin on an electric drill, and presses the switch. The beads began to rotate under the drive of the electric drill, at this time, the workers in turn with different types of sandpaper neatly placed around them, polished their surfaces, after five or six types of sandpaper were used, the workers took out a square object similar to soap material, after rubbing the surface of the beads, they were busy wiping the beads with the rag on their shoulders, and then they raised the pedal under their feet, and as the electric drill stopped, the surface of the beads that was originally rough and dry became brilliant at this time.
"Lu Ming!?"
Under the summoning of Old Man Yang, Lu Ming had no choice but to gather his curiosity and walked over quickly
"What did you do? Don't know if it's time to get down to business? ”
Lu Ming knew that he was wrong, and when he saw that Old Man Yang had a gloomy face, he didn't dare to defend himself.
"I discussed with Boss Liu just now, give him thirty for a string of beads, and finally pay according to the number of strings, after all, the labor money will be given to him"
"No problem, listen to you" Lu Ming hurriedly nodded in agreement
"Besides, the thin plates I got back, let him make incense sticks for me, the salary of each is twenty, I take a rough look, these materials can probably be made about twenty, and then they will be paid together, I will keep ten, and you can take the rest."
Incense cuttings? This word is the first time Lu Ming has heard of it, "Uncle Yang, what is a fragrant plug?" ”
"Little brother, it just so happens that I have a model here, take one for you to see" Boss Liu said this, turned around and walked quickly to the compartment, and Old Man Yang took this opportunity to give Lu Ming a real lecture.
"I'll take you out in the future, if you don't understand, go back and ask, don't talk nonsense in front of people, do you think it's glorious to be a mallet?"
"Well, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious, okay, I'll have a snack in the future"
Su Long stood behind the two of them, covering his mouth and snickering.
"Little brother, look at it, this is it!" Boss Yang also walked out of the cubicle at this time.
When he walked to Lu Ming's side, he handed a rectangular object in his hand to him.
After taking this object, I saw that its thickness was only 1CM, and there was no carving on the surface, but the whole was polished, the surface was very bright, and the edges and corners were also cut and repaired, which looked quite smooth, and there was a leaf-shaped groove in the center of the front, and there was a small hole at the top of the groove.
Lu Ming remembered Old Man Yang's words, although he didn't understand it, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to ask, but Boss Liu was quite understanding, seeing Lu Ming's eyebrows frowning slightly, he stretched out his hand to give him a brief explanation
"This kind of thing is more labor-saving, as long as the volume of the material head is up to standard, a few simple treatments can be, incense inserts, in fact, it is used to insert incense, do you see the small hole at the top? That's where the incense is planted."
With his explanation, Lu Mingfang understood, and at the same time admired the old man's brain more and more, although he did not understand the business market of red sandalwood, but through recent experience, more or less also understood, although the incense plug is not big, but if it is made of red sandalwood, it is still very easy to make a pure profit Grandpa Mao.
After Lu Ming returned the incense plug to Boss Liu and thanked him, Old Man Yang slapped his head suddenly, looked at Boss Liu with a serious expression and asked, "Little Liu, didn't you say last time that you got a good piece of material and came out with a batch of combs, didn't you say that you left me two?" What about things? ”
"Look at my brain, I've already prepared it for you" This Boss Liu is also considered to be missing the five elements today, after Old Man Yang's question came out, he ran back to the compartment with the incense plug in his hand, and after a short wait, he dragged two larger sealed bags and ran over.
"Look, what about the stars?" As he spoke, he handed over the two combs.
After taking it, Old Man Yang put the things in his purse, and then smiled slightly, "Anyway, who came to you again to find Xiuqi?" ”
"Look at you, I am honoring you, why do I have to ask you for something? It's just that I've been working a lot lately, and the safe passage can't be opened for a while, and at the end of the year, the inspection is getting more and more detailed, besides, you see that I have a total of two people, and I don't have time to replace the fire extinguisher with a new one."
Old man Yang nodded at Boss Liu with his hand, and finally sighed, "Your brain is really useful, just these two broken combs, there are still a lot of things, okay, who let us be old acquaintances, you don't care!" ”
