Chapter 72: Received a bronze bell (food poisoning)

   Chapter 72 72. Received a bronze bell (food poisoning)

  Wang Yi wants this bronze bell.

   He said: "If this clock is not used in our team in the future, then stop smelting it and sell it to me."

   Wang Xianghong waved: "If the school wants it, just take it."

  Wang Yi said: "No, I want it myself. Before, a classmate of mine entered a scientific research unit, and their unit was redecorated. They wanted to get some antique things for decoration. I think this bronze bell is good."

"Then there's no need for money." Wang Xianghong said happily, "You asked your classmates to help our team a lot, and even brought us such an advanced generator, then we will give you this bronze bell as a gift. Classmates, just say this is a thank you gift from our team."

   "Yes, it's only when you come and go." Wang Dongxi said.

  Wang Yi smiled and said, "It's not my classmate from the Northeast Advanced Research Institute who needs to renovate the unit, but a classmate from the capital..."

   "It's all the same, all classmates." Wang Xianghong didn't care.

Wang Yi thought for a while and said, "That's fine, let's do that, I'll send this copper bell to my classmate in the capital and let my classmate in the capital tell my classmate in the northeast that their two units are brothers, and let him come forward. We need another set of generators like this for our team."

   Wang Xianghong asked in surprise, "Can it work?"

  Wang Yi patted his chest: "This is definitely a trivial matter. Maybe more advanced generators can be used. Now their unit is developing a machine called photovoltaic power generation, which uses sunlight to generate electricity."

  Wang Xianghong shook his head when he heard this: "This is exaggerated wind, how does sunlight generate electricity?"

   "It's really possible," Wang Dongxi added. "Secretary, I have seen reports on solar power generation in the newspaper, as well as wind power generation, hydropower generation, and oh yes, tidal power generation, and the tides at the seaside can also generate electricity!"

   Wang Xianghong was suspicious: "Really?"

Wang Dongxi is going to look through the newspaper: "Really, I'm looking for it, it's the science and technology report of our "Jiangnan Daily", the country wants to promote wind power generation in the northwest and our southeast, and the Fuhai area has also been initially selected for the pilot, you will know when the time comes. now..."

  Wang Yi stopped him.

   can't laugh or cry.

   Why is the topic so crooked?

   He explained to Wang Xianghong: "Solar power generation technology is already very advanced. Wait for me to contact my classmates and see if I can support us with a model machine as teaching material, then you will believe it."

   "Now, let's start with a hand-cranked generator. After all, this kind of machine is simple. As long as my classmates from the Capital Research Institute help us ask for it, my classmates in the northeast will definitely support it."

  Wang Xianghong said happily: "That's great. When the militia team comes back from work, I'll ask them to get you the bronze bell. Now you can keep pedaling and continue generating electricity!"

  Wang Yi had to kick up again.

   Liu Hongmei came in and asked, "Secretary, when can we connect to the lights?"

   Wang Xianghong's face turned serious: "This matter needs to be discussed at a meeting, because this generator can supply fewer light bulbs. Once the electric horn is used, there is no way to supply power to the light bulbs."

   "Turn on the electric horn first." Liu Hongmei said.

   The onlookers outside were dissatisfied.

  Fengya said: "The electric horn is not always used, so why can't you stick to the light bulb? Take the pig killing last night. It was pitch black and it was all illuminated by the oil lamp. When I dared to use the knife, I cut my hand."

   "Yes." The others responded.

  Liu Hongmei said calmly: "Mr. Wang is teaching storytelling in front of the electric horn, then we can listen to it instead of being frozen in school, and we can listen to it at home while eating and lying under the hot blanket!"

   "Yes!" A group of people suddenly realized.

  Fengya immediately changed her tone: "To say that party members and comrades have high consciousness, our director's brain is really lively, isn't this electric speaker just a radio?"

   "Yes, yes, it's telecasting."

   "Can you also listen to storytelling at home? Isn't that the same as a radio?"

   "We don't dare to think about the radio. If every family in the team can have access to electricity, then let's buy a chat box!"

   Wang Yi, who was pedaling to generate electricity, was stunned.

  I am looking for something to do for myself!

  Wang Xianghong went out to bang the onlookers to continue to work, but he did not criticize the big guy, because the original intention of his speech with the electric horn just now was to show off.

   Show off to the whole team that the island has a generator and an electric horn, and the big guys come to meet his demand for pretending. If the big guys are not interested, he will be lost.

  Wang Dongxi suggested that the radishes be distributed directly to each family: "Anyway, the lesbians are here."

  Wang Xianghong waved: "That won't work, you are encouraging them to miss work!"

   He will wait until the men who go to sea get off work and broadcast this again.

   Twice to force.

   Twice the Happy!

   Later, Wang Yi cooperated with Wang Xianghong to find the speaker pole and telephone pole.

  There is no shortage of pine trees on the island. When cleaning the Tingtao Residence, they cleaned up a lot of wood. They chose a thick and straight telephone pole to stand at the copper bell, and hung the electric horn.

  The electric horn is iron and has rusted.

   In order to protect it, Wang Xianghong specially went to an old carpenter named Wang Xianggao and asked him to use wooden boards to make a weatherboard.

  Wang Yi said that to protect the wires, he had to find thin plastic tubes and stick them to the poles, so that the wires would go down through the plastic tubes and take the ground wire into the Brigade Committee Office, where the generators were stored in the utility room of the Brigade Committee Office.

   put up the electric horn, and in the evening, the group got off work, and the electric horn shouted again.

   Then a group of strong laborers who returned from the sea came to watch the fun.

   There are also strong laborers who have left work to find Wang Yi, who is the captain of the four groups of Chaosheng teams.

   The captain habitually came in with a hunched back and smiled: "Mr. Wang, are you busy cooking?"

  Wang Yi is washing the spareribs.

   He bought two sets of pork ribs and big bones.

   But Bold’s knife skills are pretty good. The meat on the big bone was cleaned by him, and it can only be used to stew the big bone soup.

   Watching the captain enter the door, he stood up and wiped his hands with his apron: "The captain is here, what's the matter?"

   The captain was carrying a bag in his hand.

He didn't answer Wang Yi's words, but said with a smile: "This is the first time I come to the door, and I don't have anything to buy at home, hehe, I heard that you don't care about seafood, and the clerk said that you have inquired about the neem tree, so I got some for you. Something from a neem tree."

   Neem tree is a favorite tree in the rural areas of Wengzhou. It has a wide range of uses. The root bark can repel roundworms and hookworms for children—but it is poisonous.

   In addition, its root bark powder mixed with vinegar can cure scabies, an ointment made from neem seeds can cure tinea capitis, and its kernel oil can be used to make lubricating oils and soaps.

   But these things are useless to Wang Yi, but after all, it is a piece of mind when they come to the door.

  The ceremony is light and affectionate.

   He accepted the gift, and the captain rubbed his hands together and said, "Mr. Wang, I have to thank you for what happened last time. If it weren't for you, I would have been a bachelor. My wife went back and told me that you gave my family food..."

   "You're welcome, you can't write two characters for king in one stroke. Besides, you paid for the food last time with your old money." Wang Yi interrupted him.

The captain    smiled and said, "The old money is no longer collected, how can I exchange it for food? It's Mr. Wang, you take care of our family."

"Actually, I've always wanted to repay you, but it's really difficult at home, and I don't have anything. It happened that the team sent radishes today, and the taste of my stewed radishes is fine. I'll be a ship repairer tomorrow morning, so I want to invite you over for dinner at noon— But there is really nothing good, if you are busy, Teacher Wang, forget it."

   He added quickly, and could see the humility brought about by his prudence and long-term poverty.

  Wang Yi said: "Okay, I just don't have a place to eat at noon tomorrow. Well, I got some pork ribs here, you can bring it back to cook soup for the elderly and children."

   There was a piece of rib that had not been chopped, so he gave it to the captain together.

   The captain didn't accept anything, so Wang Yi forced it to him.

   He held his ribs and licked his lips cautiously: "How can this be, how can this be done."

  Wang Yi said: "Take it back quickly, and leave quickly, or else others will see it and I'm afraid I'll go to your house to eat spare ribs."

  The captain left in a state of gratitude and panic.

   A few men from the militia team behind them brought the bronze bell over shoulder to shoulder.

  This bronze bell has been rusted badly by wind and rain for many years, and some mud and sand have been smeared. Long-term ringing of the bell has not shaken them off, and it just grows on it.

  Wang Yi wiped it hard with a dry towel and scraped it gently with a knife, finally letting the bronze bell reveal some of its true colors.

  This bronze bell should be made of brass, and the whole is composed of two parts: the bell body and the hanging button.

  The bell is seventy to eighty centimeters high, and the bottom diameter is seventy to eighty centimeters. The top diameter is small, less than half a meter. The overall shape is slender and slender.

  The body of the bell is divided into three sections at intervals of convex string patterns. The upper section is decorated with a circle of patterns, the middle section is separated by eight rectangular inscriptions, and the lower section is a circle of gossip patterns.

   Carefully look at the patterns and inscriptions on it, but unfortunately the protection is not very good. It looks blurry just by rough treatment, and the inscriptions are in traditional Chinese characters, so Wang Yi can't understand it.

   But he can feel the preciousness of this bronze bell. It is no surprise that this thing is an antique, but I don’t know if it can be sold for profit—

  According to his superficial collection experience, some copper antiques cannot be circulated in the market.

   He was observing the bronze bell, and someone came over: "Mr. Wang, go and see, how did the light of the generator change color?"

  Wang Yi followed the past.

  The office was crowded with men, and as soon as he entered the door, he glanced at him.

   He looked at the generator, and the battery indicator changed from yellow to green, which means that the power storage has been completed.

   He laughed when he saw this, and told the people in the room what the red, yellow, and green lights meant.

   Hearing that there is electricity in the battery, and there is electricity to use without pedaling, Wang Dongxi quickly pulled away the light cord that had just been embedded on the wall.

The   light suddenly glowed dimly.

  The crowd applauded excitedly.

   Wang Yi, who brought the generator, naturally became a hero, and the men surrounded him.

  Wang Yi was about to be polite, but the big guy pinned him on the chair and shoved the hard microphone under his mouth:

   "Mr. Wang, tell a story! Lao Hu and Fatty went to the ancient city of Jingjue, then what? Then what?"

   I don't know how to fix it. I have food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea. I couldn't sleep well all night. My whole body is soft...
