Chapter 295

With the chainsaw, Wang An was quite happy, because this thing was simply a tree-felling artifact.

The most important thing was that the chainsaw Wu Dong borrowed was a new one.

A new chainsaw can be used as soon as you add oil. Although Wang An could also repair old ones, he was afraid there would be no parts available.

The chainsaw of this era,

The chainsaw of this era is a single-cylinder, air-cooled, 2-stroke engine. Like the motorcycles of this era, the fuel it burns is mixed oil.

Speaking of mixed oil, many people might not understand what's going on. Mixed oil is gasoline mixed with engine oil.

The 2-stroke engines of this time must burn mixed oil.

The reason for this is that the working time of each cycle of a 2-stroke engine is relatively short, which requires the fuel to burn rapidly to ensure the normal operation of the engine.

And because mixed oil burns fast, it can meet this requirement.

And the engine oil inside also has lubrication, cooling, sealing, and the most important combustion-supporting effect—that is, when the engine is working, it burns engine oil.

And the chainsaws of this era generally use 1:25 mixed oil.

Of course, if you don't add engine oil, it will also catch fire, but the chainsaws of this era don't have an oil pump, so if this chainsaw doesn't have engine oil added, it will soon stall or directly seize the cylinder and break.

In fact, in the lumber yards of Northeast China, chainsaws began to be popularized gradually starting from the 1960s, but the chainsaws at that time were quite large, and they were quite inconvenient to use in many places in the mountains.

So many loggers at that time gave up using this thing.

But now, felling trees in the lumber yard is all done with this thing. Of course, they are the kind allocated by superiors, and they don't exist in the private sector for the time being.

In fact, even the chainsaw Wang An is holding now is quite large. People with poor physical strength shouldn't even try.

Let alone the issue of using it, just picking it up and being able to hold it requires quite a lot of strength.

With a chainsaw, there is no oil yet. At this time, there are no gas stations in the county. Except for the oil depots of various units, the place to sell oil is the supply and marketing cooperative.

However, buying oil requires oil coupons, and this oil coupon is called an industrial oil coupon, which is different from grain and oil coupons.

That is to say, individuals will not distribute this thing to you.

Even if it is distributed to individuals, it is basically a piece of waste paper for individuals because it is not used at all.

However, the oil problem is not a problem for Wu Dong.

Wu Dong was seen turning around and taking out a 50-liter barrel of gasoline and a pot of engine oil from the logistics department.

However, Wu Dong specifically instructed Wang An: "This oil barrel and oil pot must be returned with the chainsaw when the time comes, because these things all have records and serial numbers."

Wang An looked at the chainsaw, oil barrel, and oil pot in front of him, and he was so happy that snot bubbles were about to pop out, so he nodded repeatedly and agreed:

"Don't worry, Brother Wu. No matter what these three things are, I will definitely use them carefully and will definitely not break them and add trouble to you."

And when Wu Dong heard this, he laughed, and then Wu Dong said with a smile:

"Little Brother An, you thought wrong. It's not scary if it's broken; everything will break. But the things must be returned without anything missing before the end of the year."

Wang An, who was grinning with his big teeth, was stunned by these words, but immediately reacted to what Wu Dong meant.

To put it plainly, Wu Dong meant: Use it hard, wear it out hard; if it breaks, just throw it away, just don't be missing anything.

I have to say, people with power do things so unscrupulously.

Wang An, who reacted, smiled at Wu Dong: "Brother Wu, I understand, hahaha..."

Wu Dong continued: "By the way, if you run out of oil, just come to me again, and I'll get it for you. If you use it again next year, we can borrow it again. As long as this thing exists, it's fine."

When Wang An heard this, his inner emotion and exclamation were beyond words. Wu Dong's words were really too domineering and too decent!

But no matter what, the person who benefits is himself.

Who cares about all that nonsense?

The business was done, and Wu Dong looked at his watch and said: "Send me directly back to the county government; I still have to hold a meeting for them."

After Wu Dong finished speaking, the two of them carried the oil barrel and the chainsaw to the sled outside the courtyard together. Then Wang An drove the sled, carrying Wu Dong, toward the county government.

After sending Wu Dong back to the county government compound, Wang An drove the sled toward the county brick factory.

The whole county, if you only count the main urban area, is actually not too big.

However, because DJ County is next to the Hulan River, the whole county and its surroundings are in a long strip shape. The distance between each village or factory is not too far, but they are relatively scattered.

And a brick factory cannot be separated from soil and water, so the whole brick factory is built at the foot of a mountain about 4 li away from the main urban area of the county.

Wang An arrived at the brick factory and found that the brick factory was quite desolate.

Because the whole brick factory was a very large courtyard, and this large courtyard was full of bricks and tiles, but few people could be seen.

And among so many brick kilns, only two were smoking.

All this proves that bricks and tiles are not easy to sell now, or rather, no one buys them at all.

However, Wang An knew that after a few years, that is, starting from about 1984, even if there were so many bricks coming out of the kiln every day, they would still not be enough to sell.

Not only were these bricks not enough to sell, but after all the brick kilns were started to burn bricks, the brick factory also built many new brick kilns.

And the big mountain behind the brick factory was also dug into a big pit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If the wheels of history still followed the original trajectory, then this brick factory would be taken over by private individuals after many years.

Then the brick factory would move, this big pit would be transformed into an artificial lake, and finally, this large area around it, including the artificial lake, would be built into a large park.

Of course, Wang An didn't see these changes.

Because at that time, Wang An was in prison, and these were told to him by his younger brothers and sisters when they went to see him.

However, it is foreseeable how awesome the infrastructure of Huaxia will be in the future.

You have to know that the "engineering volume" of a big mountain turning into a big pit and a big pit turning into a lake is not just talk.

Wang An's arrival didn't attract anyone's attention.

There was no one in the gatehouse at the entrance either. Logically speaking, there should be someone at this time.

However, Wang An didn't care and walked toward the houses inside the brick factory.

In the Northeast in winter, it is very simple to judge whether there is anyone in this household.

Because the window cracks of houses that are often lived in will be pasted with strips of newspaper or straw paper, and there will be a thick layer of white frost on the glass, which is very conspicuous.

So after Wang An observed, he walked toward a house with white frost all over the window.

In this era, knocking on the door wasn't common, so Wang An shouted toward the house: "Is there anyone in this house?"

After Wang An shouted, the door of this house was opened from the inside.

An older brother in his thirties, not yet forty, walked out. Seeing Wang An, this person asked suspiciously:

"Are you the one shouting? What's the matter?"

In the Northeast, "shouting" has two meanings.

The first is a curse, for example: "What the hell are you shouting about?"

The second is normal communication, for example: "You should have shouted at me!"

Of course, it is mainly judged according to the tone and situation.

However, it is certain that this older brother was just asking simply and had no other meaning.

Please follow the story, and reward with tickets.
