Chapter 6: Bell Repair
Chen Xueru's eyes rolled and said, "Let's bring this thing in." ”
Xu Deyong blinked and said, "Sister, I don't sell it." ”
Chen Xueru said lightly: "I remember that my old marquis has a toolbox ....... ”
Xu Deyong immediately changed his words and said: "Sister is something else, I listen to my sister for everything." ”
He untied the rope and followed Chen Xueru upstairs with the clock.
Chen Xueru said: "Put the things there first, did you bring the wine?" ”
Xu Deyong put down the clock and took out a bottle of wine from his arms and said: "Don't worry, our gentleman weighs a thousand pounds and never breaks his word." ”
Chen Xueru said: "You are a three-wheeler, a gentleman, and don't put gold on your face." ”
Xu Deyong smiled and was noncommittal.
Chen Xueru took the wine and looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, if you get it again in the future, you can also send it to me, I will treat you as a gift." ”
Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Okay." ”
It would be up to luck to get it again, but it didn't prevent him from agreeing first.
Chen Xueru slowly took out a sheet of five, a piece of three, and a piece of two.
Yes, you read that right, at this time there was a three-yuan denomination, and due to the backwardness of China's printing technology, the large denominations of three-yuan, five-yuan, and ten-yuan were printed by the northern powers.
Among them, ten yuan, which is commonly known as the "big black ten" and "big white side", was not officially circulated until the end of May and July.
Later, due to the deterioration of relations between the two sides, the three large-denomination banknotes were withdrawn from circulation within the six-four year period, and the new banknotes printed by themselves were used.
Xu Deyong rubbed his hands in surprise and said, "So much, sister, you are too open." ”
Chen Xueru said: "I'm happy first, if you can fix this clock, help me see the floor clock, it will always be slower after a long time, you can take all the money if you fix it, and you can only take seven yuan if you don't repair it." ”
Xu Deyong looked at the floor clock not far away, the whole is a good red sandalwood, and it has some history at a glance.
The so-called ever-changing is inseparable, this big grandfather clock can still operate normally, but it is a little inaccurate for a long time, eighty percent is not lubricated for a long time, or there is a small problem with the pendulum.
It's easy to say, but ordinary people don't dare to dismantle it casually.
Xu Deyong said: "That Cheng, sister, where are the tools?" ”
As he spoke, he took off his hat and put it aside, looking at Chen Xueru.
Chen Xueru's eyes fluttered, and she paused on Xu Deyong's face for a moment and said, "Follow me." ”
Xu Deyong smiled, followed Chen Xueru's buttocks, and came to a utility room.
"It should be in the corner, go look for it yourself." Chen Xueru's fair-skinned slender hand pointed.
Xu Deyong nodded and went in, and soon found a wooden toolbox, which contained many miscellaneous old things, and his eyes swept over and found a very interesting thing.
So he walked over and hugged him out and said, "Sister, can this thing still be used?" ”
Chen Xueru's eyelids matched and said, "I can't use it for a long time, why do you want it?" ”
Xu Deyong smiled and said: "It's still my sister, you can see my intentions at a glance, you can sell it to me as a scrap." ”
"Hush." Chen Xueru glanced at him and said, "Don't sell it." ”
The smile on Xu Deyong's face froze, Chen Xueru was so open, she originally thought that it would not be possible to do anything nine out of ten?
"But ......." At this time, Chen Xueru's voice changed and said: "I can give it to you, the premise is that you have to be responsible for repairing my floor clock, if you can't repair it, you can pull it out for me to repair, and all the costs will be borne by yourself." ”
Xu Deyong continued with a smile and said, "Okay, just do what my sister said." ”
This girl is really good at making people talk, making people get on one by one, and firmly grasp the initiative!
Xu Deyong took the things out and put them aside first, opened the toolbox, there were still a lot of tools in it, he took out a screwdriver to open his grandfather clock, and soon the structure inside was revealed.
Precise links, dozens of pinions bite each other, full of mechanical beauty.
Sure enough, the pendulum reed attached to the pallet fork behind the movement was broken, and the clock didn't want to go if it broke.
There should also be a reason why the gear has not been maintained, and the gear has signs of displacement and rust.
After checking it himself, he already knew it.
Chen Xueru was still curious, but when he saw him flipping the clock core over and over again, he said impatiently: "Will you be able to repair it, don't waste time here." ”
Xu Deyong put down Zhong Xin and smiled: "Sister, you can't be in a hurry to repair things, you must consider and observe all aspects, and now I have a bamboo in my mind." ”
Chen Xueru glanced at her beautiful eyes and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" ”
Xu Deyong spread his hands and said: "I need watch oil, I don't have to buy it here." ”
Chen Xueru raised her chin slightly and said, "Put the things here, you go buy them." ”
Xu Deyong said: "That sister, you are busy first, and I will come when I go." ”
After saying that, he took his hat and trotted all the way downstairs.
Chen Xueru couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth when she saw this, young man, don't say it, she looks quite handsome!
If you fix the clock, you will have a lot of skills!
Her eyes fell on the red wooden box that Xu Deyong had picked up before, could it be that he could also repair this?
The thought flashed through her mind, and she went downstairs to check the shop.
Xu Deyong's pedaling of the three wheels was fast, and he asked two watch stores to buy watch oil, but this thing is really expensive, a small bottle of nine cents, a large bottle of two cents.
He spent two cents on a large bottle, which he might need later, and another five cents on a pendulum reed the size of a fingernail.
took out two yuan to pay the bill, and the boss was an old man in his fifties wearing glasses, and said while looking for money: "Young man, are you going to repair clocks?" ”
Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Let you see it." ”
The boss said earnestly: "This clock is a big piece, if you don't understand it, don't repair it randomly, otherwise it will be easy to repair it more and more, and it will cost more money to repair it later." ”
Xu Deyong said: "Thank you for reminding me, the kid understands a little, at least he won't repair it." ”
"Oh." The boss slowly counted the money carefully and said, "Then who did you learn this craft from?" ”
Xu Deyong leaned against the counter, looked at the various clocks in the store and said casually: "I didn't learn from anyone, I was blind by myself." ”
When the boss heard this, he looked up at Xu Deyong and said, "You can bring the clock here, and I will give you some guidance when you repair it, if you can fix it, how about I accept you as an apprentice in the store?" ”
Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Thank you, but I pedal three wheels, and no one will pedal if I work for you three times." ”
The boss said, "You can rent out the three wheels and make two shares!" ”
"You lift, I'm used to being at ease, I'm afraid of adding numbness to you." Xu Deyong said politely.
The boss didn't say anything more and handed him the money he had found.
Xu Deyong took the order and left, rushing back non-stop.
Heh, part-time job?
After a cigarette, he returned to Xueru Silk Shop and greeted Chen Xueru.
Chen Xueru was greeting the guests, waving his hand and asking him to go up first.
Xu Deyong was not polite, and asked the tailor master in the store for some scraps, and after going upstairs to concentrate on repairing the clock, first let go of the clockwork, carefully remove the gears, and then dip some oil and wipe the ...... with a rag.
He was concentrating, during which Chen Xueru came up and he didn't pay attention to it, and it took more than an hour to finally process the watch movement, and the key places were re-oiled, and even the clockwork was not spared.
He examined it again, and he looked satisfied and satisfied.
Then the clock key is wound, and the moving pinion turns.
Oh!
Fix the movement, attach the hands, hang the pendulum and move the hands to the hour.
"Bell, bell......!"
The clear and distant bell rang out.
Not to mention, it's a little nostalgic!
"Yo, yes, it looks like it's been repaired, and there are two hits." Chen Xueru came up and praised with a smile.
Xu Deyong adjusted the time, put the repaired grandfather clock aside, stretched his waist and said, "I borrowed your treasure land and tools, and I finally didn't lose face." ”
Chen Xueru personally poured him a cup of tea and teased: "Master Xu, drink a cup of tea, take a break and continue." ”
Xu Deyong took a sip, he couldn't drink the quality of the tea, and the vassal praised it elegantly: "Good tea, but a cup of tea made me change from a younger brother to Master Xu, this is a downgrade." ”
Chen Xueru poured herself and said: "Young poor mouth, when will I admit that you are my younger brother." ”
Xu Deyong said with a hippie smile: "Do you admit that it is my sister." ”
After chatting a few words, Xu Deyong didn't forget his business, got up and began to disassemble Chen Xueru's floor clock.
It's a big guy, and he can't afford to pay for it.
Carefully disassemble and observe the watch movement inside, it is indeed not a big problem, the pendulum is thrown away, and it can be adjusted, which determines whether the clock is accurate or not.
After that, I re-oiled the various places, cleaned them up, and it took more than 20 minutes to get them done.
Chen Xueru's eyelids raised and said, "That's good?" You're not trying to fool me, are you? ”
Xu Deyong said: "That can't, you can't let me fix for an hour or two before you believe I'm not perfunctory!" This clock is also repaired by the clock shop, but people let you pick it up in three days, and then charge you three or five yuan! ”
Chen Xueru sighed and said: "Okay, the ugly words are ahead, if you are not allowed in ten days and half a month, the previous words are not just talking." ”
Xu Deyong said: "Well, after I repair this package, I will come to check it when the time comes, if I don't come, you will go to my house to find me." ”
Chen Xueru propped her elbows on the table, fanned her hands and said, "Who rarely goes to find you, take your things with you!" ”
Xu Deyong said: "Sister, then you are busy, let's see you back." ”
After saying that, the person did not leave.
Chen Xueru took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Something else?" ”
"That ......." Xu Deyong seemed to be a little embarrassed and scratched his head and said, "Sister, can you borrow this tool from me?" ”
The best way to interact with people is to borrow something, borrow and return, and keep borrowing and seeing.
No matter what happens in the future, it doesn't hurt to get in touch, no!
Chen Xueru's eyes rolled, and she always felt that this kid seemed to be hiding other intentions, so she said categorically: "Don't borrow, I made so much money today, so I bought it myself." ”
Xu Deyong suddenly said with a sneering look: "Can't you save a little bit, that sister, you're busy, I'm leaving." ”
So I took my things downstairs and fixed my things and went home directly, after all, I can't solicit customers with things.
On the way, he went to the hardware counter and bought hammers, pliers, boards, screwdrivers, tweezers, nails and other tools, and more than ten kinds of large and small kinds cost him five yuan.
Expensive!
The net worth shrank by half in an instant, and at this time, there was no maintenance at home, not to mention a big item to buy tools, and it was a long time to learn.
There is no way, now industrial products are expensive, knowledge is even more rare, who makes industry backward.
And the electric Luo iron is not available yet, let alone the digital multimeter has not yet appeared.
Without a multimeter, his skills in repairing radios were ...... in vain.
Well, it's not in vain, you can't repair it finely, you can directly replace it, and you can also assemble it.
For example, the wooden box he brought from Chen Xueru's house, and the ore radio produced before liberation!
