    ,

    As the New Year approaches, the weather is getting colder and the transport team has more and more work.  In the past, I had to wait in line at the gate of the transportation company, but now basically as long as there is an empty car to go, no matter how far or near it is, it will never run empty.

    Just going to the North Station to pull coal is not enough. I ran three or four times a day for a week. Not only did the mountains of coal pile up on the freight yard not disappear, but they piled up and piled up.

    It wasn't just the transport team that was happy, the new refugees were even happier.  Having work means having enough food to eat. For those of them who still live in the huts, if they can eat one or two full meals a day in the severe winter, they can carry the winter through.  May freeze to death.

    Every two or three days, a steaming train would rumble into the freight yard from the west, and the carriages were full of coal.  Coal can be transported by train, but there is no mechanical assistance for loading and unloading. Compared with labor costs, fuel is too expensive.

    In the hours before the arrival of the train, a large number of refugees will gather on the South Third Ring Road and the West Third Ring Road, slowly marching along the road to the North Station.  Every time at this time, the transport team that goes along the way will pick them up for a ride, not only do not charge money, but also find work for them.

    It's really not that the driver has good intentions, but a win-win situation.  There are stevedores for loading coal at the North Station, but there are often no workers after delivery.  So what to do?  The more ruthless driver unloads the truck himself, saving even the cost of the stevedore.  But most of the coachmen are not cruel enough to themselves, and they don't want to get covered in soot, so they simply hire a stevedore from the refugees to follow the cart.

    The Albatross transport team was not ruthless enough, mainly because Hong Tao's leadership did not play a good role, and the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked.  But he didn't lose at all, and he still made money.

    What has happened here?  The ancients said it well, you can eat as much as you can and drink as much as you can, and if you can't figure it out, you will be poor.  In the field of calculation, Hong Tao can't be said to be a leader, but also a professional player.

    Since he has been transporting coal every day, he led the team for the first time to the North Railway Station Freight Yard.  When they arrived at the place, they didn't rush to load the car, and they didn't even line up. They just let people guard the carriage, and ran to the front with their hands in their hands to watch the excitement.

    You said that there is nothing to watch when loading coal, but he watched it with great interest. Not only did he watch it, but he also bought standing tickets.  Talk nonsense.

    "Brother Mouse, why don't you stand by and watch the excitement?" After returning, the scalper didn't understand, and told the tiger about it.  Tiger didn't understand even more. It's okay to say that it's okay to entertain the security guards with small favors.

    Can you use cigarettes to smoke pictures for the stevedores?  There are weighbridges in the freight yard, even if the refugees want to give you more decorations, the people who look at the weighbridges are all full-time station employees, and it would be useless for them not to agree.

    "You guys, your eyelids are too shallow. Just looking at the two packs of cigarettes makes you feel distressed, and you don't know the deeper meaning. Fat sheep, change the panel of my car after dinner!" Hong Tao kept thinking while eating,  The ridicule of scalpers and tigers is not at all taken to heart.

    ? The next day, the bus was dispatched as usual, and before the Third Ring Road, three refugees were hired as stevedores, and they agreed to give fifty cents a day for lunch, and the big steamed buns were enough.  As a result, he took two trips to work in the safety zone in the north of the city in the morning, and when he came back for lunch at noon, everyone in the yard was dumbfounded.

    Among the three carriages, Hong Tao only drove the lead carriage he was driving into the yard, and then removed a few screws on the carriage board, and when he opened it, he revealed the black powder full of it

    Steal coal!  Hong Tao and Fei Yang worked for most of the night, and welded a trapezoidal groove with steel plates under the car plate, which is 1 meter wide, 2 meters long, and 0.2 meters deep, with a volume of about 0.4 cubic meters.  Calculated according to the density of coal, there are about 1.3 tons in one cubic meter, and it is almost 500 kilograms to fill this tank.

    But how to pretend?  You can't just lift the car board in the freight yard and put it in the slot first.  It was definitely not possible, even if the supervisor liked it, Hong Tao wouldn't.  There are big and small coal lumps, and the big ones can't be covered with boards, so it's not obvious to grab them, and it's too untechnical.

    Hong Tao wants coal but can't let people find it. This is a technical job.  He and Fat Sheep re-made a car board as the cover of the trapezoidal groove. This board is rough and full of seams.

    gluten sugar

    In fact, such boards are the norm in the transportation team. The three cars used to be so exquisite that the boards were not only tightly seamed but also tenoned. In Wang Gang's words, wasting so many good wooden squares is a waste of money!

    But now the rough and cracked car boards are not meant to do as the Romans do, but are used by Hong Tao to steal coal.  When the carriage is full of coal and goes on the road, the constant vibration and jolt will cause the fine coal dust to leak into the trapezoidal groove through the gap.

    When the carriage leaves the freight yard, it will be weighed, and then a delivery note will be issued with an approximate weight on it, allowing an error of several tens of catties, just because the drivers are afraid that some of the coal will be unloaded and sold for money.

      But sometimes there is a weighbridge at the unloading location, and sometimes there is not. Hong Tao can decide how much coal he wants to steal for this trip according to whether there is a weighbridge and whether the unloading unit is strict.  As much as a few hundred catties, as little as a hundred catties, how much to steal depends entirely on the cooperation of the stevedores in the freight yard.

    Why do you say that, because only the coal dust will leak down, and the slightly larger coal lumps will not go down.  This is Hong Tao's cunning, he smoked and chatted with those small foremen and stevedores every day to make friends, for nothing else but to listen to the greetings when loading the trucks.

    The place I went to was not strictly controlled, so if I wanted to steal more, I would say hello to the stevedore, and load less coal and more coal powder; on the contrary, if the inspection was stricter in the place I went to, then I would load more coal  Load less coal.

    Often it is just a few good words about a pack of cigarettes, and you can get a few hundred catties of coal.  Anyway, the coal in the freight yard is not owned by the stevedores. The most important thing is that they don't have any responsibility whether they know it or not, and they are happy to sell it for a favor.

    Having said that, if the delivery place is particularly strict, what if the coal needs to be weighed basket by basket?  It doesn't matter, Hong Tao will lift the cover and even remove the coal dust, which will not take advantage of the government at all.

    You said he was a thief. I'm sorry, if a thief takes away the stolen goods, who stipulates that there is a hidden slot under the car as a thief?  I use it for packing soft goods, and our carriage is not specially made for transporting coal. It is quite normal to transport valuables to avoid being robbed on weekdays.

    Since the end of November, Hong Tao has used this method to continuously pull coal dust into the small courtyard at a rate of about half a ton per day.  In fact, you can steal more. For example, if you refit all three carriages, you can get back a ton and a half a day at least.

    But he didn't do that. It would take a lot of work to refit all three carriages. Just welding the trapezoidal grooves used up all the steel plates recovered from the red zone these days.  Iron plates can be used to tear apart cars, but all welding rods must be bought, which are quite expensive.

    Could it be that welding rods are more expensive than coal?  No, the main reason is that he stole coal dust and came back not to sell it to make money, but to get some briquettes for the refugees in the new sixth district to burn in winter.

    They live in thin shacks, and they must not be willing to buy too much coal for heating.  The winter in the capital is still very cold. He has experienced this kind of hardship in Xinjiang Province, and he doesn't want the new refugees to suffer again.

    It's still the same logic. On the premise of not affecting his own life, he is willing to use his brain and work harder to help others as much as possible.  This is not just a question of whether he has a good heart or not, but a responsibility as a time traveler.  After all, after living so many lifetimes, it would be unreasonable if he could only look after himself like an ordinary person.

    Coal Mozi has been brought back, how should it be distributed to the new refugees?  Sending them door to door Hong Tao would not do such a stupid thing.  It is true that not everyone can be a good person. If you want to become a living Buddha of thousands of families, if you don't have the confidence of airplanes and cannons, the ending is often very tragic.

    Hong Tao has experienced it more than once because of being kind and eventually suffered a big loss, and he can't always fall into the same pit.  So he doesn't give it away, he only sells it!

    All refugees who come to Xiaolou to help shake coal balls can take away 10 catties for free for every 100 catties shaken, and can also buy 20 catties by installment payment.  Whoever has the strength will come, I am a fucking thief, I can no longer shake coal balls, and then go door to door like my third grandson to give away with smiles, that is not called a good person, that is called a big fool.
