Chapter 009: One More Vote
Zuo Jiang asked everyone to gather at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning was just his initial idea at that time, the maintenance section was to go to work at half past 7 o'clock in the morning, and the patrol personnel at night at this time were about to get off work. In addition, at 6 o'clock in the morning, people who exercise in the morning also go home to make breakfast and prepare for work, there are not many people on the road, it is a good time to start, since you take everyone to steal iron, you must first ensure everyone's safety.
Back at home, Zuo Jiang took a shower and lay on the bed to blow the fan, squinting his eyes and thinking about tomorrow's specific actions, now the management of the maintenance section is still very loose, no one takes the problem of stealing iron seriously, as long as it is not bumped into by the patrol on the spot, no one cares about you, now the key problem is that the iron thing is big and heavy, even if one person can carry 50 catties, it can only be sold for 2 yuan and 5 dimes, although there are a lot in the eyes of Erbao, but in Zuo Jiang's eyes, there are very few, if you can get some scrap copper, a small piece can be sold for several dollars.
Zuo Jiang remembered that once he found a lot of scrapped locomotives in the scrap iron pile of the locomotive depot, he found that the valve core was brass, he took one easily, that kind of pipe valve is not heavy, about eight or nine pounds in weight, back home he used a sledgehammer to smash the pipe valve, did not expect that the valve core is a whole thin and thick cylindrical brass, there are more than 3 catties, and it was sold for more than 5 yuan at a time, because it was the last time he stole iron, he did not tell Erbao this secret to them, if he went tomorrow there is this kind of pipe valve, Then tell everybody to take this thing.
Thinking about it, Zuo Jiang couldn't help but laugh out loud, he thought of a very funny thing. I remember that once the eight of them sent the stolen iron to the scrap purchase and sold, each of them sold for about 2 yuan, so they discussed what to eat, they came to a small restaurant in the middle street and saw that there was a seller of boiled bones, at that time the bones were not like luxury goods but belonged to the waste of the restaurant, and the meat on it was very clean, and a plate was only 5 dimes. So everyone pooled their money to buy two plates, gathered around the table and nibbled on them. Two drunkards at the next table saw them gnawing on their bones and said, "Come, little boy, what is the point of eating, and give you a bowl of wine to drink." Xiaohu was not polite when he heard this, and went over to bring over half a bowl of beer on their table, and everyone took a sip very curiously, and found that the beer was as unpleasant as horse urine, so they put down the bowl and continued to gnaw on the bones. Unexpectedly, the two drunks at the next table chattered while drinking, "Look at those children, they are still picking up dog leftovers!" He laughed as he spoke. When Zuo Jiang heard this, he stood up and pointed at the two drunks and said loudly: "Yes, you are dogs, we will pick up the rest!" The two drunk people were furious when they heard this, and they stood up and wanted to beat Zuo Jiang and them, so everyone ran out of the hotel in a hurry.
At half past five o'clock the next morning, Zuo Jiang came to the big wall of the machine maintenance, he went into the courtyard and saw that there was no one, so he got into the fence of the scrap iron pile, he wanted to come first to explore the way for everyone. After searching for a while in the scrap metal pile, Zuo Jiang was disappointed to find that there was not a single pipe valve of that kind. Just when he was helplessly about to withdraw, he found a small pile of that kind of pipe valve piled up in the corner of the fence, Zuo Jiang counted it, and there were as many as 17, it seems that the recycling personnel here collected them together, and they probably wanted to take out the copper core in it.
Zuo Jiang drilled out of the big wall and waited for a while, and Erbao and Xiaohu came one after another. After everyone arrived, Zuo Jiang began to divide the labor for everyone, Erbao went inside to give everyone the wind, Xiaohu responded outside the wall, he and Daguo went in to hand over the pipe valve outside the fence, Wang Lao Er and Chen Lao Si and the four of them were responsible for transporting the pipe valve out of the big wall. Finally, Zuo Jiang also emphasized the value of the copper core in this pipe valve, and everyone was very excited.
After a while, Erbao, who went to bring the wind, stretched out his head in the gap under the big wall and said to Zuo Jiang: "Boss, everything is normal, there is no one inside, you come in!" ”
Zuo Jiang waved his hand, and the six of them got into it from under the wall in order, and came to the outside of the fence, Zuo Jiang picked a place with a relatively large gap, and let Wang Lao Er and the four of them wait here, and then went straight to the pile of pipe valves with the big country.
The pipe valve is not heavy, Zuo Jiang and Daguo are very easy to take two at a time, and it is not long for the 17 pipe valves to be handed to Wang Lao Er and them from the fence, Wang Lao Er and the four of them are also busy transporting these pipe valves to the outside of the big wall, because there is a distance of more than 30 meters from the big wall, it has not been transported for a while. Zuo Jiang and Daguo drilled out of the fence and directly joined the carrying team, and they were all transported out after a while. Zuo Jiang, who was walking behind, waved his hand to Erbao, who was holding the wind in the distance, to signal him to retreat, and Erbao ran over after seeing it.
It is extremely unsafe for the pipe valves to be piled up outside the large wall, and the personnel working in the locomotive depot will pass by here after a while, and it is easy to be discovered. Zuo Jiang told everyone to carry these pipe valves to the grass by the river and hide them according to the plan, and then he asked everyone, "Which of you has no one now?" ”
The big country scratched his head and said: "Boss, there is no one at home, my father and mother are out of the car, and I will not be able to come back until tonight at the earliest." "My father is a train driver, my mother is a conductor, and he is often away from home because of the train, and his elder brother graduated from high school last year and was not admitted to university, so he went to Shaanxi as a soldier.
Zuo Jiang said: "Okay! Big country, no one in your family will transport these things to your house in a while, you go home now and wait for us, Xiaohu, a few of you will stay here and watch these things, as long as you pretend to play, no one will doubt you, I will go home now and ride the bicycle, and then transport the things to the big country. ”
After the division of labor was clear, everyone acted separately, Zuo Jiang quickly rode his family's permanent brand bicycle, and brought two Dafan cloth bags, put the pipe valve into two bags respectively, tied the two bags together, and several people carried them on the shelves behind the bicycles, and it didn't take long to come to the big country.
The big country is a three-room bungalow with a single courtyard, which just creates good conditions for dealing with these pipe valves. Zuo Jiang looked at the time, it was 7:10, the neighbors had not yet gone to work, and the sound of smashing the pipe valve was very loud, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the neighbors, so let everyone take a break and wait for half past seven before starting.
Da Guole made preparations in a hurry, found a piece of horn used in iron work from his barn, and found a big hammer, Zuo Jiang took the big hammer and weighed it, feeling that it might be an 8-pound sledgehammer, such a sledgehammer to smash the pipe valve is just right, and a few hammers can solve one.
Zuo Jiang saw that the time reached 7:40, beckoned everyone to start work, among them, the big country was the tallest and strongest, so the big country came first, the iron coat outside the pipe valve was pig iron, the iron was relatively brittle, the big country smashed out the crack when the hammer went down, and after two or three hammers, the iron coat was broken and the copper ingots inside were exposed, but when the big country smashed the fourth pipe valve, he was tired and tired, so he had to change people.
In this way, everyone took turns to fight, and it took more than an hour to finally completely destroy these pipe valves, looking at the yellow copper ingots placed on the ground, everyone's eyes were like seeing money, showing an excited smile.
