After school, they left separately at the brigade headquarters and Yang Shuang.
After searching for a while, I saw iron rings for sale at the door of a bicycle repair shop.
"Boss, how do you sell this hoop?" The boss is an old man who is helping others to repair shoes. (As you may have seen, repairing bicycles also repairs shoes and the like, a variety of profit methods)
"It depends on what kind of hoop you want. This small one costs 5 yuan each, and the large one costs 10 yuan." The uncle was busy with the work in hand, and took the time to look up and replied.
"Hiss!" The price scared me to take a deep breath.
The pocket money of fifty cents is enough for me to buy snacks for two days! Such a small hoop cost ten yuan! Are you cheating money!
"It's too expensive, forget it." After I finished speaking, I turned around and left. Even though the uncle said loudly behind me that the price was still negotiable, I still didn't pause.
Before I came, I asked Zheng Kai, he and Zheng Xiang bought it with their parents yesterday, the big one was five yuan, and the small one was three yuan. This old man, seeing that I am alone, wants to cheat my money?
Besides, I was just asking, but I didn't buy it, and he was serious! I only have 30 cents on my body, and I still saved pocket money for 2 days!
It's just a toy, do you need to pay such a high price to get it? Without hoops, I still have marbles, square boards, and many substitutes. There is no need for hoops, right?
Moreover, the old man is not righteous and wants to bully me, a child. Even if he buys his iron ring, I guess he will choose the worst one for me! Forget it, don't think about it, let's talk when we go home
"Grandpa, do you have that kind of thick wire at home?" As soon as I got home, I asked grandpa.
"How thick is the wire? What are you using it for?" Regarding my question, Grandpa first asked, then was puzzled.
After all, for me, I would not touch such things as iron wires. When I suddenly asked my grandfather, he must know my specific thoughts.
"Is there any iron wire that is as thick as a little finger? I want to use it to make a hoop"
"It's not that thick, it's only average thickness. See if it can be your iron ring." Grandpa brought some iron wires from the utility room.
Looking at the wire in my grandfather's hand, my mood of anticipation fell to the bottom in an instant. Sure enough, it is not so easy to make hoops by yourself, and there is no way to do it with the materials alone.
"It's too thin, there is no way to make it, is there no other wire?"
"No more, you go look inside by yourself, I still have other things to do." After finishing speaking, Grandpa handed me the wire, then left, and continued to work on his own affairs.
?I took the wire and searched in the utility room alone. There was indeed no other wire, so I had to give up.
But I was not willing to "farewell" to the iron ring like this. After thinking about it, I decided to make it myself!
The biggest problem at present is that the iron wire is not thick enough and the weight is not enough. As long as this problem is solved, the iron ring can be made successfully!
"One wire is not thick enough, what about two? What about three?" Suddenly, the inspiration came, and the solution was instantly thought of!
Holding the iron wire in your hand, I made a gesture, and felt that the three wires were a bit thin, so I decided to use 5 wires to make it!
First take a piece of iron wire and make it into a circle of about the same size, and it takes a lot of effort to pinch it off with pliers, that's it! With the prototype, the next step is to increase the thickness.
If the same five circles are used to overlap and fix, it needs to be bound many times, similar to tying many knots, and the flatness of the fixed place is not enough, which affects the sense of experience. This solution can only be rejected.
Another solution is to use the first circle as the "branch" and wrap the wire around the branch in circles to increase its thickness. With this solution, there will be no uneven scrolling, and there is no problem with the experience.
However, the requirements for the production process are relatively high. I don't know if it will be successful with the craftsmanship that I have not even started.
Fight for the hoop!
Take the iron wire, and after fixing one end, start to wind around the "branches". It's very simple to think at the beginning, and stick to it to the end! According to your own needs, you can wrap as thick as you want.
After the real start, I found an important problem, the wire was entangled, and it became loose and loose. There are more or less gaps between the "branches" in the middle, which seems to be caused by uneven force.
As a child, do I expect to be able to tighten the wire with great strength? Obviously impossible!
After stopping what I was doing, I thought about it and decided to try it with pliers first. After wrapping a section of wire, clamp the wrapped part in front, hey, don¡¯t tell me, this method really solves the problem.
It took about half an hour, and finally the thickened version of the "wire circle" was barely made!
After carefully feeling the weight with your hands, it feels okay, the difference is not too big, but this crooked figure is really ugly!
I took out the hammer again and beat its figure bit by bit. This is really physical work! By the time I knocked the hoop to barely a circle, it was almost dark.
"Ren Tao, what are you knocking on?" Grandpa, who had just arrived home and was about to feed the pigs, stared at me and asked.
"I'm making hoops"
"How can you do this, give it to me" Grandpa took the hammer in my hand and began to help me polish the iron ring.
"Dang~Dangdang~" The rhythmic knocking sound always makes the tired body feel relaxed.
After some help from grandpa, the hoop finally became nearly round.
"Come on, let's see if you want it." Grandpa handed me the iron ring that had already been tapped, and motioned me to try it.
The entire iron ring is warm to the touch, and it is close to a circle, and there is no gap between the iron wires. very perfect!
Put the hoop vertically on the ground, push hardthe circular hoop rolls forward steadily
"Grandpa, I want it!" Hehe, I am so happy right now! Not only did I make a hoop by myself, but I also felt a sense of pride in earning five yuan back.
"Are you just pushing it with your hands?" Grandpa asked suspiciously.
Um, at this time, I just remembered that I was so excited just now that I forgot to make an iron fork!
"No, the iron fork hasn't been made yet, I'll make an iron fork right away"
"I'm afraid the iron fork won't work, there aren't so many wires anymore," said Grandpa, pointing to the little wire left on the ground.
"Embarrassing! What can I do!" There is not enough wire, so we can't push it with branches, right?
Huh? Yes! branches! Find a similar branch, won't the problem be solved? It's not that iron must be used, and the putter does not require weight! It's just used to control the direction!
I took a machete, chopped a slightly thicker branch, and removed the bark to become an "iron fork". After trying it out, I found that the front branch was not curved enough and it was not easy to operate.
So I twisted a fork with the remaining wire and tied it to the front of the branch, hehe, perfect solution!
The whole yard is mine! Roll up the hoop~! I want to be the boy who can roll the most hoops (Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
