Reborn Great Nation Craftsman

Chapter 48 Zhang Junping tells a story
Section Chief Sun made a phone call first, and then brought Zhang Junping to the freight yard in person.

Here all kinds of wood are piled up like mountains.

There are logs, as well as processed, various specifications of boards, square wood, and sleepers for railways.

The yard was very busy.

The huge gantry crane here hoisted big logs of thickness one by one from the train and piled them on the freight yard.

These are logs pulled from the forest farm on the northeast side.

The Guanghua Timber Factory was built on the edge of the railway, and the train could drive directly to the freight yard.

Over there, forklifts are constantly back and forth to transport logs or processed wood.

Either piling up, or loading.

Looking at the piles of wood, Zhang Junping's eyes lit up.

Just this one freight yard has to be thousands of cubic meters of wood, right?

It's a pity that I don't have any money in my pocket. Otherwise, I will stock up more wood and wait a few years for the country to release the price of wood, which will double the profit.

Now because of the state's unified purchase and marketing, the price of wood is very low, and the first-class sawn wood is only 150 yuan per cubic meter.

After a few years, when the price was released, the price of first-class sawn timber soared to more than 300 yuan.

Of course, Zhang Junping was just thinking about it, if he really had money to hoard, he wouldn't hoard red pine.

"Senior Sun, why did you come here in person?" A middle-aged strong man, seeing Section Chief Sun, ran over to say hello.

"Five, let me introduce to you, this Xiao Zhang is a top student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and a future artist!

Now join the work-study program and open a furniture store!

This is the bill of lading, go and pick out a better batch of plates for Xiao Zhang! " Section Chief Sun instructed the middle-aged strong man.

"Okay, don't worry! I'm sure to install the best board for Xiao Zhang!" The middle-aged strong man agreed and left with the bill of lading.

"Senior Sun, thank you so much!" Zhang Junping thanked again.

People who don't know how to do it may not know that it is also first-class sawn timber, and there are good and bad in it.

Sawn timber refers to wood that has undergone primary processing, such as planks, square wood, sleepers, etc.

Sawn timber is classified according to its grade, and it is divided into special sawn timber, first, second and third grade sawn timber.

The criteria for classification are dead knots, decay, skinny, cracks, bends, and so on.

Taking first-class sawn timber as an example, it is required that there should be no more than four dead joints within one meter.

There are three within one meter, and all four are within the standard. There are also cracked skins, which are not allowed to exceed 15.00% of the timber length, and 15.00% to [-]% are first-class sawn timber.

Barely reaching the first-grade sawn timber, one is infinitely close to the super-grade sawn timber, the difference between the two is still very large.

The twists and turns here are not indistinguishable from the insiders.

"Haha, Xiao Zhang is very polite!
Seeing a self-motivated young man like you, my heart can't help but heat up, I can help a little bit! "

"Senior Sun is such a warmhearted person!" Zhang Junping flattered with a smile.

Naturally, it was impossible for Section Chief Sun to accompany Zhang Junping all the time. It would be a blessing to Zhang Junping to be able to bring him to the freight yard to explain in person.

After chatting with Zhang Junping for two more words, he said goodbye and left.

Zhang Junping watched the loading car for a while, and found that the middle-aged strong man was indeed loading the kind of good wood that was infinitely close to the premium sawn wood.

He stopped staring, greeted the middle-aged strong man, and took Huang Xue to hang out in the freight yard.

Of course, it's not really hanging out. As a carpenter, when I arrive at the timber yard, I always feel that something is missing.

"Zhang Junping, did you really take orders from foreigners?" Huang Xue's curiosity had long been bursting, and she had been holding it back. Now that there were no outsiders, she immediately asked.

"Ha ha!
I don't know foreigners, and I can only speak English, yes, no, Good Maoning, Hao Ah You... Where can I go to take orders? "

"Then you're not lying? You're not afraid of being exposed?"

"This can't be considered a scam, can it? After all, my foreign exchange roll is real!

I can only be regarded as bullshitting as a banner! "

"Sophistry!" Huang Xue glared at Zhang Junping, rolled his eyes at him, and then asked, "By the way, where did your foreign exchange roll come from?"

"That's the money I paid for selling wood carvings!"

"You still do woodcarving?"

"Huang Xue, let me tell you a story!" Zhang Junping was a little impatient, how could he stand still.

"what story?"

"There was an old lady who lived to be 150 years old, do you know why?"

"Because she never inquires about things!" After Zhang Junping finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.

"..." Huang Xue stood there, looking at Zhang Junping's back.

He stomped his feet angrily, really wanting to pounce on him and bite him twice, then press him to the ground and kick his feet hard.

Zhang Junping didn't know Huang Xue's mood, and was very happy for his wit.

Soon Zhang Junping put Huang Xue behind him.

He was caught by a pile of wood.

Strictly speaking, this pile of wood is not wood.

It can only be said that it is waste, firewood.

Guanghua Timber Factory also treats it as firewood.

At this time, there are several carts and tricycles loading firewood.

Looking at the clothes, they should all be nearby residents.

There is also a Guanghua timber factory worker counting them.

"Comrade, how are these firewood sold?"

"One hundred catties and two cents!"

"So are these too?" Zhang Junping asked again, pointing to some larger logs next to the firewood pile.

"Those [-] catties are [-] cents!" The worker glanced at them and replied casually.

"One hundred pounds and fifteen cents..." Zhang Junping almost blurted out the words "so cheap".

Zhang Junping can understand that the reason why the ones next to him are cheap is because the wood is rotten.

The so-called rotten heart means that the bark of the tree is intact, but the heart of the tree rots for various reasons and becomes hollow.

Basically, the logs are sawed in half, and then it is found that the inside is hollow, and the board cannot be taken out, so it is directly discarded.

This kind of wood that has been sawn in half is sold as timber, and there is not much material to get out, so no one wants it.

I bought it back to burn the pot. It was too big to have no fever. I split it and burned it. The scraps over there were only [-] cents and [-] jin.

Who wants these [-] pounds of wood?

Strength without money?

In fact, if the master worker is patient, some wood that can be used can still be taken out of the wood.

It's just that the production task is so heavy now!

The price of wood is cheap, and the first-grade sawn timber is only 150 yuan per cubic meter.

This kind of material is the third-grade sawn timber, which is not enough to delay time.

Therefore, the lumber mill was simply abandoned.

Zhang Junping circled around the pile of rotten wood, his heart was hot.

Thank you for taking a stroll here, or you'll miss it.

In the eyes of Guanghua Timber Factory, no one wants to ask for firewood, but in Zhang Junping's eyes, they are treasures.

Zhang Junping turned around excitedly and left.

He is going to find Section Chief Sun.

He wanted all these hollow wooden boards.
