Chapter 229 Poke a hole in the wall

It was still early, so Xing Yi walked around to the other side of the wall. There was Yao Si'an Tofu Workshop. Yao's Tofu has been in Jinxiu County for hundreds of years and has a good reputation.

You have to go through the narrow passage between the gables of the house and turn three corners of the house before you get to the tofu workshop.Ordinary carts couldn't fit in, so Yao Sian modified the cart to reduce its size, and the tools for making tofu were also reduced accordingly.

Before reaching the Tofu Factory, he saw a firewood stacking room against the wall in the distance, full of dry firewood, straw, and corn stalks. Xing Yi's heart suddenly lifted.

The scene of a serious fire flashed in my mind.

It was the night of the 2002th day of the first lunar month in 30. This firewood shed caught fire. The fire developed rapidly. In less than half an hour, the flames rose to more than ten meters, and most of the sky above the county town turned red.The fire truck came, but it couldn't enter the site. It took a detour to the other side of the fence. The water conveyor belt was not that long and the water could not reach the ignition point. Dozens of firefighters were helpless. There were nine houses in Tofu Fang, Yao's house and two neighboring families. Everything was burned down, and the [-]-meter-long wall collapsed. The scrap collection station on the other side of the wall was also affected.Economic losses exceeded one million, and the famous Yao Family Tofu disappeared.

Later, it was reported that the cause of the fire was caused by several children setting off fireworks outside the fence. Sparks flew over the fence, fell into the firewood shed, and ignited the dry straw.

Xing Yi walked around the neighborhood again and had a brief conversation with two families adjacent to Yao Si'an's house. He learned that they were both vegetable farmers, growing vegetables and selling them to the residents in the city, and their lives were average.Because it belongs to the old city, the development speed cannot keep up with the new area, and the opportunity for demolition is not their turn for the time being.

What Xing Yi is most worried about is that the Chinese New Year will be here in two months. Everyone is busy thinking about preparing for the Chinese New Year, and the awareness of safety precautions will be weakened. After the Chinese New Year, from the first to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, it is another happy period. Who can Can you predict that a disaster will happen before your eyes?

He said to himself that this matter must be taken care of. Children must be stopped from setting off fireworks, the protection of the firewood shed must be strengthened, and fire escapes must be unblocked. With a multi-pronged approach, it is possible to control this matter.

I thought about it and made a plan.

Return to the village, transport the old forklift to the city, find a repair shop, and repair it before it can be started.

The trustee found a master from other places who could drive a forklift.

When the master came, he asked to see his ID card first and told him: "What I asked you to do does not violate the law, but it is just a little rude. But you don't have to worry. When you are done, you can take the money and leave. I will handle the rest." Will handle it."

The man said simply: "I'm only here for one day, so please hurry up."

Xing Yi said: "The introducer said that you are careful in your work, but the price is high. Tell me, how much does it cost?"

"It depends on what you want me to do. Just talk about the price."

"Okay, let me tell you, it's simple. Drive a forklift to the scrap yard. There is a decades-old fence there. Just use the forklift to poke a hole in it. That's it."

"You have to come all the way to find me for such a simple matter?"

"You don't know something. There are relationships between people. It's very complicated. There's no need to tell you. You just know that you can just drive and poke holes."

"I have to go check out the scene."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

I went to see it, checked the forklift again, and started it for two turns.Said: "The fixed price is 1000 yuan."

Xing Yi said: "As for your cheerfulness, I agree."

In the afternoon, Xing Yi called the shop owner and said that there was a scrap forklift and there was no place to park it here. He would drive it over and give it to you. You can dismantle the parts and sell them.

The shopkeeper opened the door and waited at the time he said.A little after ten o'clock, the forklift came. There was no light. The master turned on the flashlight in the car, aimed at the door, and said, "Is this your home?"

The shopkeeper said: "Yes, you can drive in."

"Get out of the way, and move that small table as well."

The shopkeeper moved the small table away along with the textbooks and homework books on it.

The master shouted: "Stand far away too."

Turning off the flashlight, the truck drove in with a rumble, and the shovel also rose into the air. The speed of the forklift suddenly accelerated, and the shovel aimed at the wall and hit it. With a loud noise, the wall was immediately hit with a big hole.

The driver returned the forklift, put down the shovel, jumped out, and said to the stunned shop owner: "Don't blame me, blame this broken car. The brakes don't work at all. I'm going to do it. Whoever called you, you go find him." "Turn around and quickly walked into the night.

The shop owner hurriedly called Xing Yi and said, "Come quickly, something happened."

"What's the matter?"

"Your forklift has opened a big hole in the wall. Come and take a look."

Xing Yi ran over quickly, looked at the punctured hole, and turned back to the master: "Where is the person?"

The shop owner said: "He ran away a long time ago, saying that your forklift is not good."

"I told him that this forklift is a piece of junk. You must drive carefully and ignore my words. Don't be afraid if he runs away. I'm here. Don't worry, find a few pieces of material to cover it first. I'll cover it with you tomorrow. Come make arrangements and find a way to help you repair it."

The next day, he came to the site early, first found someone to transport bricks and cement sand, and then worked with the shop owner to clean up the site at the entrance of the cave.

At nine o'clock, Yao Sian came over pushing a cart full of tofu. He saw the hole in the wall and stopped to watch.

Xing Yi took the initiative to greet him: "Master Yao, let's go through here. It leads directly to the main road, which is much closer."

Yao Sian was eager to try. Xing Yi stepped forward to give him a push and passed through the hole. The road in front of him was flat and the car did not shake at all. Yao Sian pushed the car and turned back three times with one step.

Xing Yi secretly observed it and thought it was interesting.In the afternoon, bricks, cement and fine sand were brought in. I called the plasterer and made an appointment to come over the next day.

The next morning, Yao Sian came over again pushing the tofu cart, and Xing Yi called him again: "Master Yao, it's okay. It's so convenient. You can get on with it."

Yao Sian pushed the cart over, parked on the side of the road, and waved to him.

Xing Yi walked over and said, "Master Yao, what's wrong with you?"

Yao Sian asked: "Will there be traffic jams today?"

Xing Yi said: "The plasterers haven't arrived yet, but the two families just came here and asked me if I can keep it for a few days. They need to buy some tiles to build a house. It's too laborious to transport it from there. As the saying goes It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. I am thinking about how to discuss this matter with the shop owner."

Yao Sian said: "This is a good thing. The tiles on my house should be replaced, but I haven't ordered the tiles yet. Do you think I should keep them for a while?"

"Keep it for a while, why not expand it a little. It will be convenient for several of your families to enter and exit, and you won't have to take a detour when pushing your cart every day, right?"

"That would be better. I wonder if the scrap shop owner would agree."

"He is one family, and you are three families. I can clearly distinguish who is less important and who is more important. I will find a way to delay the time and not block it for the time being. I will have a good discussion with their family first and see if it can work out."
