Chapter 20 The First Pot of Gold
In the capital of 1978, many customs were very different from those during the Republic of China.
However, many people from all walks of life want to learn from their masters, but many rules have more or less been retained.
Whether it is a chef, a carpenter or other craftsmanship, it is not easy for an apprentice to learn the real skills after becoming a master.
It is normal to sharpen your temper and learn some basic things first.
For example, most of Chen Chenxing's father's apprentices did not have the opportunity to learn cooking in the first year, but instead helped wash, cut, and prepare vegetables.
Even if you start to learn cooking, it often depends on whether the apprentice is smart enough. The master may not necessarily explain many things thoroughly.
Nothing like Jiang Hui, who taught Chen Chenxing the real skills of car repair as soon as he came up.
The more he realized this, the more serious Chen Chenxing studied.
When he encountered something he didn’t understand, he would actively ask questions, and Jiang Hui would patiently answer them.
After all, it was 100 yuan to repair the car. If it was repaired in less than half an hour, I guess the people at Shougang would not be happy when they gave the money.
So Jiang Hui must delay for a while and wait until around 10:30 in the evening to repair it.
Even in the end, I had to get my face and hands dirty and look like I was working hard.
This can be regarded as an unspoken rule in the maintenance industry that should not be disclosed to the outside world.
“Look, we are now opening and closing the throttle valve continuously and suddenly, and check whether there is fuel spraying out of the accelerator pump nozzle from the carburetor port.”
"Normally, there must be fuel spraying out, but now it doesn't. It means the fault is in the accelerator pump or the accelerator measuring hole is clogged."
"At this time, we need to remove the carburetor cover first and put the float inside the chamber. Load the gasoline and quickly open and close the throttle to make the accelerator pump piston reciprocate. "
Jiang Hui explained the key points of the carburetor failure to Chen Chenxing bit by bit.
Although many foreign OEMs have already started producing EFI engines, carburetor engines still have a long life cycle in China.
If you want to learn to repair a car, you must know how to repair the carburetor.
"Look again, the piston of the accelerator pump has great resistance to downward movement, which means that the rapid acceleration nozzle or oil passage is blocked."
"At this time, we must disassemble and clean the oil outlet valve, valve seat and Clean and clear the air vents.”
“After basically doing this, reinstall the parts and the car can be used normally.”
Jiang Hui told Chen slowly. Chenxing explained the situation of the carburetor, and drank water and rested for about ten minutes.
Li Jianfeng also came over to take a few glances during this period, and saw that Jiang Hui was already working, but he didn't say anything more.
"Go and start the car. It should be ready."
Looking at his watch, it was already ten-fifteen. Jiang Hui repaired the CA10 without further delay.
Although Chen Chenxing didn't have a driver's license, there was no problem if he started the engine as usual.
"Master, it seems to be really good!"
Soon, Chen Chenxing got down from the cockpit happily and circled around the front of the car.
The buzzing sound of the engine sounded so wonderful to his ears.
Even the smell of engine oil and gasoline is intoxicating.
"Go and invite Li Jianfeng over for inspection."
Jiang Hui was obviously not surprised by this result.
The failure of an old carburetor is not difficult at all for a knowledgeable person.
However, the biggest difficulty in repairing a car is finding the specific fault point.
There is a story that many people are familiar with in later generations. It says that a large motor in an electrical factory broke down, and the repairman could not find out what was wrong.
So, I had to ask a famous engineer to come and give advice.
The engineer watched the scene for a while and drew a circle with chalk on a certain part of the machine to indicate that the problem was here.
On inspection, it turned out to be true. When paying, the engineer's bill was $10,000. Everyone in the company thought the price was too high because he just drew a circle!
The engineer said: "Drawing a circle is worth $1, but knowing where to draw a circle is worth $9999!"
Whether this is true or not is irrelevant, but Jiang Hui fully agrees with this logic. of.
“Have you really repaired this car?”
Soon, Li Jianfeng followed Chen Chenxing over in a hurry.
Although Jiang Hui acted very professional just now, Li Jianfeng still lacked confidence in whether he could fix it.
Before, Shougang's own master also worked hard for a long time, but it turned out to be of no use at all.
"Director Li, the car has been repaired. You can give it a try."
After Jiang Hui finished speaking, he handed the key to Li Jianfeng directly.
The latter was not polite and went directly to start the CA10.
It started and stopped smoothly several times in a row, "You guys wait a moment, I'll find a driver to come over and drive around."
Although he already believed that the car was really repaired, to be on the safe side, Li Jianfeng still I ran to the driver's class and called a driver on duty to come over and test the car.
In the end, everything went well.
This time Li Jianfeng was completely relieved.
"Master Jiang, thank you for your hard work. Do you want to go to the office and take a break?"
Compared with when they first met, Li Jianfeng's attitude has changed a lot.
After all, no one knows when Shougang’s truck will break down again in the future, and Jiang Hui will need help in repairing it.
"It's already very late. The place we live is still far away from here. I will visit Director Li's office again when I have the opportunity to study."
"Okay, wait a moment, I will I’ll give you the money to repair the car.”
Li Jianfeng was polite and didn’t really want to invite Jiang Hui to the office.
Soon, he came back again, with a small stack of brand new ten-dollar bills in his hand.
"This is 100 yuan to repair the car. If our car breaks down in the future, Master Jiang, you have to continue to help us."
Although I am a little envious of Jiang Hui's repair in such a short time He earned more than one month's salary, but Li Jianfeng didn't do anything wrong.
If you try to trick a capable person, you may be causing trouble for yourself.
“No problem, you can come to me if you have any incurable diseases, I will definitely cure them!”
The first pot of gold is obtained!
With tonight's results, Li Jianfeng believed Jiang Hui's confident words.
With the money in hand and it being late, Jiang Hui and Chen Chenxing said goodbye and left.
"I'll give you these twenty yuan. Without your introduction, I wouldn't be able to earn this money."
At the gate of Shougang, Jiang Hui took out two ten-yuan notes from his pocket and handed them over To Chen Chenxing.
"Master, you are slapping me in the face."
"I didn't do anything to help you tonight, I just caused you trouble."
"Never mind that it was my dad who took care of me. Apprentices learn cooking skills, or other car repair masters, and there is no salary for the first three years. "
Chen Chenxing held the car handle with his left hand and waved his right hand excitedly.
Obviously he will not accept this money.
