Chapter 44: Ability
A big open space, a very large open space, almost the size of two standard football fields, I don't know what it is used for, but now it is an open-air movie theater.
The whole open space is almost square, and it feels quite square, but I don't know if it's actually like this, but even if it's a little crooked, it doesn't affect everyone watching the movie.
On the west side of the venue, there are two high-speed rail poles, like the flagpole in Gu Siwei's impression, each pole is about ten meters long.
At this moment, there is a movie screen hanging between the two poles, the white movie screen seems to be made of several pieces of white strip of cloth, it is obvious to see that there are vertical seams on it, around the curtain, is a black curtain edge, and there is a hole in the side every other distance, fixed in the rope through the hole, the whole screen is firmly fixed on the two poles.
The movie camera was huge, and to be honest, Gu Siwei saw a real movie machine for the first time - a large box supporting two huge film reels.
I thought it was quite novel, so I went up and took a look, but before he could get closer, the middle-aged man who was playing the movie told Gu Siwei to go.
At this time, Gu Siwei was like a curious baby, looking around, everything felt fresh, and for him, it seemed that the scene of the movie was more interesting than the movie itself.
Wait for the sky to completely darken, and the movie officially starts.
At this moment, the entire open space is already full of people, black and pressing, so many people actually have a feeling that silence is better than sound at this time, even Gu Siwei, who is standing at the back, can clearly hear the character dialogue from the loudspeaker at the front.
The movie is not interesting for Gu Siwei, the previous war films, and the face-painted characters, really do not meet the appetite of Gu Siwei, who came over decades later.
But Gu Siwei had to admit that at this time, the movie was very serious, every actor spoke and pronounced words very clearly, and every word and sentence, even if he didn't read the subtitles, he could listen to it.
It's not like when Gu Siwei came, a few people who couldn't even walk, put on ancient costumes and looked like a group of marmots, and performed on the screen for fear that others wouldn't know what it was like to be crowned by a monkey, which was really much stronger.
It's okay to stand, Gu Siwei has to watch a movie here, who knew that after watching it like this, he actually watched it slowly, and finally developed into a taste to watch.
Waiting for the movie to finish, Gu Siwei reflected on it and felt that it might be that there were too few entertainment activities during this time, which made him feel that this kind of old movie was also interesting.
After watching the movie, everyone carried a small stool home, gathered together in twos and threes, and enthusiastically discussed the wonderful parts of the movie.
Gu Siwei was thinking about finding a place to rest for the night, waiting for tomorrow when the store opened to buy something and then go home.
Since he was going to stay for one night, Gu Siwei followed the crowd and walked out, looking around as much as possible when he left, so as not to meet the villagers, otherwise he would have to trouble himself to make up nonsense and make excuses.
Obviously, Gu Siwei was thinking too much, and he didn't meet the villagers along the way.
The reason is also very simple, there must be almost 10,000 or 20,000 people in the movie theater at this time, and those in the six groups are all squatting in the front row, and the chance of meeting Gu Siwei who is standing in the last row is very small.
Finding a remote place, Gu Siwei looked around and saw that there was no one around, then raised his feet and got into the space, preparing to nest here until dawn tomorrow.
The plan was good, but soon Gu Siwei realized that he seemed to have chosen the wrong place, and it didn't take long for a man and a woman to get in.
is obviously a young couple in love, the man is entangled, and the woman pushes and pushes, which is called a grinding.
Originally, Gu Siwei thought that the two of them were going to be thunderous, but who knew that it took a long time to understand that the man's request was only a kiss, and Gu Siwei almost jumped out and yelled at the two of them to get out.
Fortunately, the two didn't quarrel for long, and in less than ten minutes, the two of them squirmed out.
Gu Siwei thought that there should be nothing wrong now, but it didn't take half an hour to work hard, and another pair came in, still the same as before, and Gu Siwei really wanted to jump out and scold their mother.
When the pair left, Gu Siwei couldn't stand it anymore, so he went directly to the small forest at the foot of the mountain, thinking that no one should come over now.
really let Gu Siwei guess it, no one really came over now, and quietly let Gu Siwei sleep beautifully.
Coming out of the space, taking the meal ticket he exchanged for yesterday, Gu Siwei took a step towards the store.
I had just walked for a long time, and when I was about to get on the main road, I heard the voice of someone on the side of the road, turned around and took a look, and found that there were actually people selling things, and there were quite a few people, almost a dozen people, lined up in a scattered row.
The things sold are all grown in the fields, such as potatoes, dried beans, Chinese cabbage stored in winter, and in addition to selling tofu.
What surprised Gu Siwei even more was that in the far corner, there was a middle-aged man in his forties, who knew at a glance that he was not from the countryside, and it was completely different from the one who came to sell vegetables and things next to him.
The things that the man sells also aroused Gu Siwei's interest, because the man sells his own knives, kitchen knives, and firewood knives, there are not many knives, that is, three, the knives are very thick, and at a glance you know that it is the kind of thing that looks rough but is very practical.
"Comrade, how do you sell this knife?" Gu Siwei walked over and squatted down directly, picked up the kitchen knife inside and looked at it.
When the man saw Gu Siwei coming, he showed a little smile on his face, and he was also a little energetic, and he seemed to want to do Gu Siwei's business.
"It's a bit expensive," Gu Siwei said.
In fact, the price is not expensive, but you always have to shout that it is expensive to buy something, otherwise how can you bargain.
The man listened and said: "It's not expensive at all, don't look at the snowflake knife in the store, it's actually not as good as my knife, my knife is made of bearing material, I don't know how much better than the kitchen knife in the store."
The man said that he is quite confident, Gu Siwei is engaged in machine tool processing, where can he not see the difference, this knife is very good, the steel tamped by the mechanical hammer is much more powerful than the blacksmith's calcining, although the blade is not used to clamp the steel, but it is estimated to be a lot better than the clamping steel.
"How much does this knife cost. I may not have my money at my fingertips, can I trade it for something else? Gu Siwei likes this kitchen knife very much, and he also likes the remaining large and small wood knives.
Now Lao Gu's family lacks everything, and these things are also considered to be household goods, aren't they?
"If you have food, there is no problem, take all the fifteen catties of food, and I won't ask you for money" The man saw Gu Siwei proposing to exchange things for something, so he opened his mouth and said.
said this, but the man was a little disappointed in his heart, seeing that Gu Siwei was dressed well, he thought that his business was coming, but he didn't expect that Gu Siwei was just a good thing, and he didn't have the money to buy it at all.
"Let's talk."
Gu Siwei turned his head and saw that the people in a circle were looking at the two of them, so he said to the man.
The man thought about it for a while, a little hesitant, but finally put away his things and followed Gu Siwei to the side.
Gu Siwei asked the man to talk, and finally the weight unit was replaced by a volume unit, and a few scoops of wheat were used as a unit, and these tools were replaced.
Seeing that Gu Siwei really had food, the man was very satisfied, so he directly took off his inner gown and touched it, tied up the two cuffs, poured the food into it and circled it around his waist.
"Brother, do you need anything else, if you do, tell me, I'll make it for you" When the man saw the food, Gu Siwei naturally became enthusiastic.
"Is it easy for you to do it? Are you ready to take it out of the factory? Gu Siwei was a little curious, but he didn't think about where the things he sold came from if people couldn't bring them out of the factory.
When he saw things, Gu Siwei understood that these things must have been made with factory machines, and the man's hands did not have the ability to make this thing, let alone do it, it was impossible to melt this kind of steel, and it was impossible for ordinary earthen stoves to have such a high furnace temperature.
The man said: "What's convenient or inconvenient, just take it with you when you go to work, and it doesn't take up time at work, I use some waste materials, as for how to get it out, it's not good to tell you."
"I really need some tools."
Gu Siwei felt that he was really lucky, he met this man, and many of the tools he thought of could be made.
It's just that Gu Siwei doesn't know, it's not his luck, the workers in the factory will always sell something, and the men are not the same, which is actually the same as the farmers who secretly sell some vegetables or something now.
When life is difficult, there will always be people who will find a way to subsidize it, whether it is a farmer or a worker.
Even if you can't meet this person, as long as Gu Siwei often comes, you will meet someone else.
"I want a chisel, a deeper ......."
Gu Siwei said while gesturing.
After hearing this, the man found that Gu Siwei still wanted a lot of things, so he took out a pen from his pocket, took out a small notebook on horse manure paper, and asked Gu Siwei to draw it.
Gu Siwei took the notebook and began to draw without saying a word.
"You've worked on machine tools before?" When the man saw what Gu Siwei had drawn, he opened his mouth and asked.
The so-called connoisseurs knew at a glance whether there was one, and when the man saw what Gu Siwei had drawn, he knew that this young man had work in his hands, like a person who could make drawings.
Gu Siwei smiled and didn't speak, finished drawing the things in his hand, and handed them to the man with the approximate size.
"The words are good, the painting is good, and I'm about to catch up with Master You in our workshop" The man took the book and said with admiration.
Gu Siwei smiled and didn't say anything.
He was also forced to practice this ability, and when he used to work in a factory, he wanted to worship the master, and the first exam given by the master was to draw three views, and to draw a good look, and the words marked should also be neat and standardized.
In fact, at that time, no one drew by hand, and Gu Siwei also knew that it was the master who was embarrassed and wanted to let himself retreat.
However, unlike others, Gu Siwei knows that learning the master's craft is equivalent to serving a bowl for dinner, otherwise he, a high school graduate, would not be able to make screws on the production line for a lifetime.
So for more than half a year, Gu Siwei practiced as soon as he had time, and finally passed the test, which gave him a good hand, as well as the ability to paint simple three-view views by hand.
