Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 53 Xiang Yunduan picked up the leak and Yan Bugui designed it

"Do you know about tourbillons?"

Old Man Dong looked at Xiang Yunduan and asked, and then said directly without waiting for Xiang Yunduan's answer: "Forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you, let me tell you this, all you need to know is that this tourbillon movement is very powerful. , if there is this thing in the watch, it will run very accurately.

As for the watch I have in my hand, the Omega Seamaster series watch, as a high-end product of the Omega brand, it contains this tourbillon movement.

The reason why this watch is so cheap is that there is something wrong with the tourbillon movement of this watch. I can’t tell what the problem is, and neither can the watch repairman.

After the problem with this tourbillon movement, the watch became a little inaccurate, and it was exaggerated. The error was even greater than that of ordinary watches without a tourbillon. The error could be almost an hour a day, and it was strange that its error It's not fixed. Sometimes it goes faster than normal, and sometimes it goes slower than normal.

So even if you know that the error will be one hour every day, if you don't correct the time, it will be difficult to judge whether it is faster or slower. It can be said that in this case, it can basically no longer be used to tell time! "

Mr. Dong told the problem of this watch in one breath.

After finishing speaking, Xiang Yunduan didn't speak, so he didn't urge him. This watch was basically useless. Even if he bought it back, it would only be kept in his collection. It was unrealistic to expect it to tell time anyway.

Xiang Yunduan didn't speak because he was shocked. Is he going to miss something today?

This watch is very good, it is waterproof and can be used for mountain climbing, but compared to the tourbillon, it is definitely trivial.

That’s right, it’s a tourbillon!

Mr. Dong thought that Xiang Yunduan didn't know what a tourbillon was, but in fact Xiang Yunduan not only knew what a tourbillon was, he also knew very well what a watch with a tourbillon in this era meant!
  The function of the tourbillon is very simple. It is used to correct the errors caused by gravity on the watch mechanism. It can make the watch more accurate.

At the beginning, tourbillons were used on pocket watches, and their use on wristwatches probably appeared in the 1930s and 1940s.

But this thing was used on watches until the 1980s, and it was very rare.

Xiang Yunduan once saw a report. From 1801 to 1980 after the birth of the tourbillon, there were about 250 watchmakers who were able to install tourbillons on watches, and these masters added to The total number of watches with tourbillons produced together was only about 650, while during this period, millions of pocket watches were produced.

This shows how awesome watches with tourbillons are in this era.

This thing can be collected as an antique. Later, the Phillips auction house once auctioned an Omega watch produced in 1947, which also had a tourbillon. The transaction price was nearly million Swiss francs, or RMB About twelve million.

This was the reason why Xiang Yunduan was stunned, because today's leak was indeed a bit unexpected.

"Sixty yuan, right? I want it!" Xiang Yunduan reacted and took out the money from his pocket, ready to pay.

Seeing how straightforward he was, Old Man Dong began to persuade him: "Young man, don't be impulsive. This thing can't be repaired. This watch has been in and out five or six times. At the beginning, it sold for three hundred How much did it cost? Someone bought it and sent it to a watch shop for repair. As a result, it broke soon after repair. As a last resort, the person took the watch and sold it, and the price became two hundred and eighty.

Later, one after another, four or five people bought this watch. Without exception, the longest one took two months to sell it again, and the price dropped from more than 300 to the current price. Sixty dollars.

Are you sure you still want to buy it? "

Xiang Yunduan didn't expect that there are so many stories in it, but I have to say that this entrusted store is very good. It sells things very openly and clearly explains the shortcomings of the things to you. It seems very fair and does not deceive at all. customer.

"If you want it, don't allow it if you don't agree. If it's really no longer useful, I'll keep it as a work of art. This is sixty yuan. You can invoice it!"

Xiang Yunduan said, taking six large black pictures.

"Okay, I understand. If you insist on buying it, I won't stop you. If it doesn't work, just take it back and sell it for 30 yuan!" Old Man Dong shook his head and issued an invoice as he spoke.

The table is not accurate. For others, it may not be possible, but for Xiang Yunduan, it is a piece of cake.

Use Qi Luck to strengthen it, and don't expect any special effects. As long as it can be restored to normal use, this requirement is not excessive at all.

No accidents occurred, and the procedures were completed quickly.

Xiang Yunduan pushed the bicycle in one hand and held the watch in the other, and quickly walked out of the door of the commissioned store.

As soon as he came out of the gate, without saying a word, he first used white luck and fired a strengthening shot at the bicycle.

The surprise came immediately, and the success was strengthened in one go.

Item: Bicycle (Black Iron)
  Effect: Speed ​​+10%, Solidness +10%, Comfort +10%.

Three special effects appeared at once. Although they only increased by 10%, for a black iron level item, it was already very good.

Xiang Yunduan is very satisfied with this effect. It was just done casually, and there is no need to continue strengthening it to increase its level. This is good.

This was a good start for the day. Xiang Yunduan's confidence greatly increased and he began to strengthen the newly acquired Omega Seamaster series watches.

Once, twice, three times...

Xiang Yunduan's face turned from happy to more and more ugly. After six or seven luck attempts in a row, all of them failed to strengthen.

Is it because the stuff is too high-end?
  Over the past few days, I have accumulated a lot of luck, but I can't afford to do this.

He even felt like giving up, but fortunately he persisted three more times and finally succeeded in strengthening.

Item: Mechanical watch (black iron)

Effect: precise operation

The effect is very simple, with only four words, but Xiang Yunduan is not disappointed at all, because it is this effect that he hopes in his heart.

After spending a lot of time in the commission store, the sun has set and it is getting dark.

Xiang Yunduan put the watch on his wrist, then raised his long legs, directly stepped over the bicycle seat, put it on the pedal on the other side, then pushed his left foot to the ground, and the car slowly slid forward, and then, He stepped hard with his right foot, then stepped on the pedal with his left foot, and the bicycle jumped out with a swish.

Xiang Yunduan knows how to ride a bicycle, but this is his first time riding a bicycle with 28-inch wheels. Fortunately, it is not difficult.

"Dingling bell~"

As the car shuttled on the street, Xiang Yunduan rang the car bell from time to time to remind pedestrians in front of him to take shelter.

At this time, most of the pedestrians who heard the bell looked back with envy.

Bicycles are still very impressive in this era.

Especially after Xiang Yunduan turned on the headlight switch on the left handlebar, the car lights illuminated the front, not to mention the wind.

The headlight on a bicycle is an electric light. This kind of light does not need to be equipped with a battery like a flashlight. Instead, it has an electric roller on the wheel, which generates electricity by friction with the wheel to power the light.

However, this thing will increase the friction of the tires, making it more difficult to ride.

Of course, if the switch is turned off, the electric roller will no longer rub the wheel.

After trying it to make sure that the grinding light could work normally, Xiang Yunduan turned off the light.

It's not very dark now, and there are street lights on the street, so there's no need to turn on your headlights. The journey was fast and furious, and soon Xiang Yunduan first went to the police station to register information, and then returned to the courtyard.

He pushed his bicycle through the gate. As soon as he turned into the hanging flower door, the third aunt didn't know what she was busy with in the house. Through the window glass, she saw Xiang Yunduan and the bicycle he was pushing at a glance.

The third aunt may have thought she was being deceived, and rubbed her eyes. After confirming that Xiang Yunduan was pushing the bicycle, the third aunt immediately turned her head and shouted into the house: "Lao Yan, Lao Yan, look, Xiang Yun Duan is pushing the bicycle." Is Yunliang buying a bicycle?"

The street primary school where Yan Bugui teaches is not large and has not many students, so the stove is not big and only provides one meal at noon.

After Yan Bugui came back from get off work, he was waiting for Yan Jiecheng to come back from working outside. The family was just eating. When he heard the third aunt saying this, he rushed out immediately.

Not only Yan Bugui, but also the four brothers and sisters Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi also left the house and did not even eat.

"Hey, third uncle, you all are going out together. What are you going to do?" Xiang Yunduan asked knowingly.

"Ouch, Xiao Xiang, does this bike belong to your slaughterhouse?" Yan Bugui circled the bike twice, pushed up his glasses, and asked expectantly.

This bicycle is not outstanding in the first place. After all, it may be more than ten years old. No matter how well maintained it is, its condition is not much better.

However, after Xiang Yunduan strengthened it, the rusty areas gradually improved, and the paint peeling areas also recovered. The overall look is at least seven or eight years "younger", and it is 70% new.

Yan Bugui really didn't want to believe that Xiang Yunduan could afford such a good car.

This is the first bicycle in the yard.

Xu Damao is still a projection apprentice and is not qualified to go to the countryside to show movies. Naturally, it is impossible for the factory to equip him with a bicycle.

Yi Zhonghai had the money to buy it, but Yi Zhonghai couldn't ride a bicycle, and the courtyard was not far from the steel rolling mill. He rarely went to other places, so Yi Zhonghai didn't buy it.

Liu Haizhong wanted to buy one, but he didn't have a bicycle ticket. This guy was an official fan and liked to show off his style. He didn't like second-hand bicycles, so he didn't buy them.

Yan Bugui also wanted to buy one. He didn't dislike second-hand bicycles, but his family's expenses were too high and his salary was not much, so he hesitated and still didn't make up his mind to buy it.

Xiang Yunduan didn't pay attention to whether his car was the first one in the yard, but seeing Yan Bugui's reaction at this moment, he couldn't help but tease: "Third uncle, no wonder you wear glasses. There is something wrong with your eyesight. .

What does it mean to be in a factory? Can't I buy it? "

"Did you buy it? Did you really buy it? A second-hand bicycle of this quality costs eighty or ninety yuan. Where did you get so much money?" Yan Bugui asked in shock.

He has spent a lot of time researching second-hand bicycles. He knows what is going on in the market.

"What does this little money mean? Look here and see what it is?"

Xiang Yunduan said, raised his arm, and put the Omega with stainless steel ring, white dial, silver hands, and brown leather strap in front of Yan Bugui's eyes.

On this hot day, he was wearing a short-sleeved undershirt. However, as soon as Yan Bugui came out, his eyes were on the bicycle, and he had not noticed such a small thing as a watch.

"Watch? Did you also... buy it?" Yan Bugui's tone was trembling.

"What do you think? Could it be that it was stolen?" Xiang Yunduan replied simply.

"Impossible, how long have you been working? You haven't received this month's salary yet, how can you have so much money? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Yan Bugui shook his head repeatedly, with a look of disbelief.

"Okay, just slowly lie down in the crack of the door and watch people. I'm going home!"

After Xiang Yunduan finished showing off, he looked at Yan Bugui's sour look and went home humming a little tune.

As soon as he left, Yan Bugui immediately pulled the third aunt into the house, and then asked quietly: "Didn't I ask you to introduce someone to Xiang Yunduan? Have you found a candidate?"

Look at how seductive this kid is. If we don't get a cure, will we still see him as the third uncle in our eyes?
  "It's so easy to find somewhere. I only know a few people from the alleys around me, and I've heard about a few, but didn't you say you want someone who's particularly beautiful? That won't work, it's not beautiful at all!"

The third aunt said helplessly: "Don't you have young female teachers in your school? The teachers are all educated and have good temperaments. Even if their appearance is slightly worse, can their temperament make up for it?"

The third aunt originally said it casually, but Yan Bugui's eyes lit up after hearing it.

"Dad, Mom, it's time for me to get married. If you don't introduce me to me, why are you introducing me to outsiders?"

Yan Jiecheng, who was standing aside, listened for a long time and realized that his parents were going to introduce Xiang Yunduan to someone, and he immediately became anxious.

"Go, go, don't you look at what you are like? You don't even have a real job, so who girl can fall in love with you? If you can find a real job, I promise to introduce you to one!"

Yan Bugui was thinking about what to do next, but was interrupted by Yan Jiecheng, who said angrily.

"Where did this kid get so much money?" Yan Bugui was puzzled.

"Old man, do you mean that this guy's bicycle and watch came from evil sources?" The third aunt still knows her old man.

"That's not necessarily true. Xiang Yunduan is not stupid. Since he dares to show off openly, there probably won't be any problems in finding out where he came from!" Yan Bugui shook his head and denied.

"It's possible that Xiang Yunduan's family is rich!" the third aunt said again.

"That's impossible. Xiang Yunduan's family is from the countryside, and they have three generations of farm laborers. How much money can they have?" Yan Bugui denied again.

"How do you know that their family has three generations of farm laborers?" the third aunt asked strangely.

"Humph, I am the steward of this courtyard. There is a new person in the courtyard. How can I understand? The information I got from the neighborhood committee should be correct!" Yan Bugui said.

"Oh, old man, you are still good at scheming. It turns out that as soon as this cloud enters the yard, you will be able to calculate it!"

The third aunt said: "How about you report it to the neighborhood committee and let the neighborhood committee investigate this kid? After all, this is also within the scope of your responsibilities as a steward. Maybe this kid is an enemy agent. Otherwise, where would he come from? That much money?”

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head: "That won't work. It's too easy to offend people. If there is no problem, the relationship with Xiang Yunduan will be stalemate in the future. This guy works in a slaughterhouse and is full of It's oil and water, so it's better not to offend.

In this way, there are many people in this courtyard who want to see Xiang Yunduan in bad luck. You can find an opportunity tomorrow to provoke Jia Zhang and ask this old godly woman to report it.

But, you must pay attention to the way you speak, don't leave any clues, and make Mrs. Jia Zhang feel that she wanted to report it, instead of being bewitched by you to report it, you know! "

"Okay, this is a good method. This is called... what you said is... driving... driving away a tiger or something?" The third aunt has been with Yan Bugui for a long time, and occasionally she is willing to make some comments.

"Driving away wolves and devouring tigers, borrowing knives to kill people!"

Yan Bugui taught his wife for a while, but he still felt uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he got up and walked outside.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to check out this guy's mouth. By the way, take out my bottle of wine and the peanuts!"
