Chapter 806 Iron Plate Relief
“Okay, now that it’s decided, let’s divide the work.”
Liu Huaimin set the tone.
Yang Youning and Wang Guodong spoke after a brief discussion.
Looking at the people below, everyone stood upright, wanting to take over the task.
"Old Sun."
The first one was to name Sun Guo. After all, the first workshop still had strength.
"Leave the pot lid to your workshop. I remember that Lao Guo came with an iron plate relief. Let him do it."
Sun Guo nodded, but then shook his head, "Director, this iron plate The plate relief is related to the thickness of the steel. Besides, Lao Guo has been doing forging with hammers in recent years. I am afraid that this skill has fallen behind."
Yang Xiaotao frowned slightly when he heard this. This is a traditional craft. .
But there's nothing you can do about it, that's not what you're testing in the grade exam, you still have to swing the sledgehammer!
"Let him try it first."
"Okay!"
"The words on the pot body, Lao Zhan. You are responsible."
Zhan Lei, director of the second workshop, patted his chest and assured, "This is simple!"
"Everyone else should be prepared. If necessary, they must cooperate."
"Especially the Publicity Department. Superiors have paid close attention to this matter. Once it is determined, the Publicity Department must play its role and let the general public Revolutionary compatriots understand our pressure cookers and steel rolling mills.”
Yang Youning focused on the Propaganda Department. At this time, he was very dissatisfied with the work of the Propaganda Department, which did not achieve the effect of promoting propaganda at all.
"Understood."
Director Li nodded, then looked at the people behind him, each holding a notebook to take notes, but he just didn't know if he could write good sentences.
"Others too. Get ready. Meet the mission."
"Yes!"
At that moment, the meeting ended and everyone dispersed.
When Yang Xiaotao returned to the office, he found the letter paper and began to practice calligraphy. He wrote twice according to the existing instructions. When he felt that he had found the feeling, he began to write seriously.
On the side, Lou Xiao'e remained quiet the whole time. It was not until Yang Xiaotao finished writing the last word that he moved his arms and handed the two pieces of letter paper to Lou Xiao'e.
"Send it to Secretary Liu."
Lou Xiao'e looked at the pen calligraphy that looked like iron scratches and silver hooks, and couldn't help but praise, "Director, how did you practice this calligraphy?"
"Normally it doesn't look that good, why should I take it seriously? It's quite comfortable."
Yang Xiaotao was drinking water from the kettle and flexing his fingers when he heard Lou Xiaoe's words, "What's wrong?"
"Hurry up. Send it over.”
Lou Xiao'e glanced at Yang Xiaotao and didn't understand how Yang Xiaotao practiced this word, so she turned and left the office.
Yang Xiaotao was worried about the carving of the pot lid, so he got up and walked to a workshop.
When I came to the first workshop, I saw a group of people surrounding me. Liu Daming was holding a small hammer in his hand outside and kept looking at it. From time to time, the sound of banging came from inside.
"Liu Yizu, what is a fitter doing with our hammer?"
Before he passed, he heard someone yelling at Liu Daming. Yang Xiaotao saw that he was a thin old man. He is about the same size as Liu Daming, but if you look closely, you can see that the muscles on his arms are sharp and angular, and you can tell at a glance that he is quite powerful.
"Hey, old hemp pole, it's not always good to hold it. It's not like you are the only ones playing with hammers."
"Huh, are you the only one who dares to play? You're not afraid of smashing your own feet."
>"I can't even hit my blind feet."
"Shut up, don't talk."
The two of them were still going to compete, and suddenly there was a strong and angry shout from inside. , although the two of them were not angry, they did not dare to speak.
When Yang Xiaotao saw Liu Daming like this, Liu Yizuo, who was usually tough with everyone, was actually shouted down, and he immediately became interested.
When they came forward, Liu Daming and the old man nodded and said hello. Yang Xiaotao smiled and walked into the crowd.
In the middle, an old man was hammering away with a small hammer. Yang Xiaotao saw that the man was a little taller and more muscular than the old man. The difference was that his hair was almost gray.
Sun Guozheng on the side was holding a flashlight and shining it on the lid of a pressure cooker.
Yang Xiaotao didn't speak, just watched carefully from the side.
This person should be 'Lao Guo'. I heard that this craft was passed down from ancestors. After liberation, he entered the steel rolling mill and became a blacksmith with his blacksmithing skills. Now it seems that this ancestral craft has not been lost.
Everyone held their breath and watched carefully.
Half an hour later, a woman's head appeared vaguely, and the concave and convex three-dimensional effect made people feel like it was floating.
Looking about seventy-eight times similar to the woman on the one-yuan bill, and her hair was done in layers, Yang Xiaotao was shocked when he looked at it from the side.
Lao Guo moved his wrists and sat aside to rest.
This half hour spent a lot of energy.
Yang Xiaotao turned around and summoned someone casually, "Ask Master Zhang from the second cafeteria to make a plate of braised pork, more braised pork, and prepare some steamed buns, we will eat them later."
That person He swallowed his saliva and ran away immediately after understanding what he was talking about.
"Go find Lou Xiao'e and ask him to bring some sugar."
I ordered another person, and that person ran away quickly.
Everyone around listened to Yang Xiaotao's arrangement, and Sun Guo helped Lao Guo up.
"Master Guo, your craftsmanship is really good."
Yang Xiaotao gestured with his thumb. Old Guo had a long face with thin eyes and two clusters of gray mustache. Seeing Yang Xiaotao Praising him, he smiled sheepishly, but he didn't have the same momentum as he had just told Liu Daming to stop him.
"Director Xiao Yang, don't, don't say that."
"Compared with your craftsmanship, it's still far behind."
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "There are specialties in the art industry. You are good at this craft. Let alone me, even this steel rolling mill can't find anyone else."
"I really admire you."
“Oh, I’m old. If only when I was young, I could do it in one breath Knocking it out, now, it’s unfamiliar.”
“It’s okay, as long as I can do it.”
As Yang Xiaotao said, Lou Xiaoe hurried over from outside, holding a kettle and a bottle in his left hand. A white paper bag and an enamel jar on the right hand.
"Director, this is the sugar you want."
Yang Xiaotao took it and put a handful of sugar into the jar. Lou Xiao'e poured water into it, "Master, you need to work harder for this job." .”
Mr. Guo drank from the enamel jar. He took a big sip, then smacked his lips, shook his head and exclaimed, "It's so sweet!" After saying that, he drank up the water, "Don't worry, we'll take care of this for you today."
After speaking, Mr. Guo picked up the hammer again and knocked little by little.
Yang Xiaotao got up and went to the second workshop. Here, the same group of people gathered together. The three people in the middle each guarded a pressure cooker and were carving attentively with a carving knife.
Yang Xiaotao looked at it for a while. The carving technique was obviously less technical than the relief carving, but the few of them were still nervous about carving.
Finally arriving at the tenth workshop, Huang Degong was checking the production status.
Yang Xiaotao watched for a while. The workshop was now divided into three groups of people, and the production of heating furnaces and well drilling machines continued.
However, the trends between the two are different after the Chinese New Year. Orders for heating furnaces began to decrease, but on the contrary, there were more orders for well-drilling machines.
Of course, the orders for well drilling rigs are much smaller than the other two. If it hadn't been for the steam power involved and the difficulty of production, Yang Xiaotao would have really wanted to send it to the branch factory.
"Lao Huang, in the past few days, we have asked the workers to make more pressure cookers and the other two projects. If possible, put them first."
Huang Degong immediately understood after hearing this, "You mean , is this pressure cooker going up?”
“You think, this time? If it is done, do you think it will still be like this when it is publicized in China?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and then looked at the production line, "I don't think it's far away, just in a few big cities in our country. Do you think the population’s spending power will be less?”
"Besides, we are going abroad this time, so there is no doubt that overseas orders will come."
"The current production will not be able to keep up even if it doubles by then."
Huang Degong Opening his mouth, he had never thought about this. In his mind, it would be good to be able to support construction at home, but abroad? Isn't it just a gift? Is it possible that it can still be sold?
He really didn’t think much about it.
“Okay, okay, I’ll make adjustments right now and start working tomorrow.”
At this moment, Huang Degong felt a surge of motivation in his mind when he thought about this pressure cooker going abroad.
When it was time to get off work, Yang Xiaotao left a few people to look after him. At the same time, he arranged for people from the security department to guard carefully, and then let the others get off work.
Say hello to Liu Yulan, I will probably go back very late tonight, or even tomorrow.
Liu Yulan also heard that the matter was urgent and said that she would make it clear to Ran Qiuye.
As the workers left the steel rolling mill one after another, Yang Xiaotao asked Mr. Guo and several overtime workers to come to the second canteen.
When several people saw the prepared meals, their eyes shone.
Yang Youning and Wang Guodong also came, followed by Sun Guozhanlei. Accompanied by a group of steel rolling mill leaders, several old masters had a meaningful meal in their lives.
After dinner, Yang Youning and the others left, leaving Yang Xiaotao to stay in the factory and return to the workshop with a few old masters.
Yang Xiaotao and Sun Guo came to the first workshop to help. They must finish this pot tonight.
While Mr. Guo was burning with a musket, Yang Xiaotao pulled Sun Guo aside.
"Uncle Sun, do you smoke?"
Yang Xiaotao took a lighter and made a flame, then approached Sun Guo.
Sun Guo held the cigarette and lit it close.
“You kid.”
Hearing Yang Xiaotao’s name, Sun Guo understood what was going on.
"Are you trying to get Lao Guo's idea?"
Yang Xiaotao laughed and put the cigarette and lighter he just opened on the machine aside, "I can't hide anything from your fiery eyes, uncle."
"You don't have to come here to kill me, right?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no."
Sun Guo, took two deep breaths, "Actually, if you don't tell me, I will too. Bring it forward.”
Yang Xiaotao was stunned, and his face became even more happy.
Sun Guo saw him like this and immediately smiled, "Old Guo, he still has to swing a sledgehammer at his old age. Alas."
"He has reached Level 5 in his life. The blacksmith is considered to be at his peak."
Yang Xiao. Tao nodded quickly, "Don't worry, if Mr. Guo's craftsmanship goes to the R&D Department, I will give him the same treatment as Liu Yitu."
"If he can bring out a disciple, if he brings one, I will The monthly personal subsidy is ten yuan.”
"What I said is absolutely true."
Yang Xiaotao was eager. This craftsmanship is not inferior even to the machine stamping machines of later generations.
More importantly, this kind of craftsman is more valuable than a machine in some fields.
"I know you are a talented guy who can pull in all kinds of things, but this time you have found a treasure."
Sun Guo was relieved when he heard what Yang Xiaotao said, and turned the machine on Putting the cigarettes and lighter in his pocket, it feels good to hold these things.
Yang Xiaotao was thinking in his mind. If it hadn't been for the pressure cooker as a gift this time, he would have never known that there was such a capable person in the steel rolling mill.
"Uncle Sun, if you have any other capable people under your command, let me introduce them to you."
Ahem
Sun Guo choked on the smoke and quickened his steps. "No more, no more."
"Really? I don't believe it."
"It's really gone."
"Okay, I'll ask Lao Yang."
Ahem
"You don't want to be greedy, alas, let me tell you , there is a little man in the fourth workshop, don’t say anything about this, otherwise Dong Da will definitely come to me.”
“Yeah”
"That guy's craftsmanship of hollowing out and gilding is also a family tradition."
"What else?"
"There are also those from the Seventh Workshop."
"Yeah, yeah, "Hehe"
In the empty workshop, Yang Xiaotao came close to Sun Guo, laughing from time to time, which made Mr. Guo who was preparing to use his hands shiver with a cold body.
Three o'clock in the morning, a workshop.
Sun Guo was already asleep. Mr. Guo rubbed his forehead and moved his waist.
Yang Xiaotao held the newly made pressure cooker lid and looked at it carefully under the lamp.
