Seeing the other party acting like this, Xu Damao didn't say much.
At present, only Liu Guangqi of the Liu family can catch his eye. He is doing well in Shicheng. Looking at the things he buys every time he comes back, you can tell that his money is dishonest.
I guess his status is not low, otherwise he would be able to go back to Sijiu City every now and then.
As for the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, they are both stuck in the mud, so it would be good if they could just get by.
Now I have a good relationship with Liu Guangqi and see if I can get on the line and go to the factory to show movies.
At that time, the harvest was the big one.
The cart entered the middle courtyard and walked to the backyard.
"Hey, Sister Qin, I'm going out to make soy sauce."
When I met Qin Huairu at the door, I couldn't help but stop and speak when I saw the graceful figure.
Qin Huairu was in a hurry to find Liu Guangqi, so how could he pay attention to Xu Damao.
The two families in particular were having an unpleasant quarrel, and they didn't even bother to take a look at them right now.
Going out with the soy sauce bottle, Xu Damao snorted coldly, "A widow, what's there to be proud of?"
"Sooner or later, I will ask you to fetch soup for me."< br>
Said, walked to the backyard.
Yang Xiaotao came back late today. In the afternoon, news came from above that manpower arrangements would be made, but before that, an alloy steel research team had to be established.
Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin caught Yang Xiaotao and talked in the office for a long time.
Yang Xiaotao didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Now he can see that this research group is just a joke from his superiors.
It's just an excuse, so their machine factory took it as the truth.
As you can imagine, what should we do if we don’t pay enough attention to something?
He didn't want his reputation to be ruined.
One day in the future, the superiors will ask, why alloy steel has been researched for so many years, and the people there are just doing it for a living.
Then he is just a jobber.
Cannot be a member, or even join.
So, Yang Xiaotao was determined not to do it.
But this was firmly resisted by Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning.
Because Yang Xiaotao didn’t take the lead, it’s hard for the two of them to take the lead.
So the three of them started arguing in the office.
Finally, after some friendly negotiations and re-dividing work tasks, Yang Xiaotao won the right not to deal with the trivial matters of the machinery factory and successfully became the leader of the research team.
As for the candidates, Yang Xiaotao doesn’t know how many there are at the moment.
Anyway, several people originally transferred from the steel factory, especially An Zhongsheng and Li Junming, were all pushed aside by Yang Xiaotao. It is better to use these talents for business.
As for the new team, didn't the Seventh Machinery Department find some interns who have not graduated? Director Liu just said in a letter that they are all students, and communication is more convenient between students.
Back home, Yang Xiaotao was not in the mood to cook, so he asked Xiaowei to play by herself, and then went to the backyard with wine.
After looking at the second aunt's smiling face, Yang Xiaotao entered Lao Tao's house without saying much.
“Why did you come to my place?”
Zhang Laodao is making noodles at home.
There is also a bowl of sliced pork on the table. It looks like it is going to be made into noodles.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao took out a ham sausage from his arms, put it on the table and helped light the fire.
I have to say that Lao Dao is living a cool life as a single.
A person can eat when he wants and sleep when he wants. This is so comfortable after being experienced in the world of mortals.
"I don't want to start a fire at home, so come here and make do."
Yang Xiaotao said, looking at the water in the pot, "I didn't expect to catch something good!"
Zhang Laodao met Yang Xiaotao There is no need to be busy now, because Yang Xiaotao’s craftsmanship is so good.
Pick up the pot for the tobacco bag, pinch some broken tobacco leaves from the bag and compact them little by little, then take out the match and light it.
“You look like this, it seems like you have something on your mind, otherwise you would be able to come here to eat?”
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "You are blind if you don't protect me!"
The old Taoist was cheerful and said nothing.
Just looking at the figure passing by outside the door, his eyes narrowed.
"Liu Guangqi?"
Yang Xiaotao also saw the person in the past, "Today is not the weekend, are you back again?"
"It seems quite relaxing!"
The old man nodded.
“I came back three times this month, and I brought a lot of things with me each time, tsk tsk!”
“I feel richer than you!”
Yang Xiaotao left He curled his lips and said, "It's just a matter of time. As much as you spend, the natural scenery will be beautiful."
"Unlike me, there are old ones and young ones, and there are three cubs to raise."
"In the future, some people will not be able to move, and they will have to watch even if they can't help it."
"Everything costs money."
As he said this, he glanced at the old Taoist, but the old Taoist was stroking his beard and smoking a cigarette, turning a deaf ear to Yang Xiaotao's words.
"Speaking of wisdom, you cut the noodles very finely. Do you know how to use a knife?"
Yang Xiaotao took a few bites of noodles and looked at the noodles of different widths. He felt that such good noodles were wasted in vain.
The old Taoist didn't say anything. He could see that Yang Xiaotao was probably out of his mind and was talking rudely.
"Old Taoist"
Muttering to himself, Yang Xiaotao took the noodles out of the pot, put the dishes on the table, and then the two of them sat down.
“You kid has been talking non-stop since you came here. Now it’s time to eat, let’s talk about it.”
The old Taoist took out a jar of wine from the box. Yang Xiaotao looked at it and quickly moved it aside, "I'll drink this when my wife comes back."
The old Taoist showed disdain, "What, are you scared? Weren't you just training people? It’s awesome.”
Yang Xiaotao smiled and opened the wine he brought.
“You don’t know, I was given a hard time by those old foxes today. They insisted that I lead people to make some kind of alloy steel. I am a mechanical engineer. I have to make steel, or alloy, what is this? It's something."
Yang Xiaotao complained, picked up the wine glass, and the old man also picked up the wine glass, and the two touched it and finished it.
"Alloy? What does it mean?"
"The literal meaning is to put various rare metals into the steel, and then process it according to a certain proportion, and finally become a special alloy"
Yang Xiaotao gave a brief introduction, but the old Taoist smiled and said, "This is no different from the previous alchemy, it's just smelting something into a pot."
After the old Taoist finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao suddenly stopped his glass.
A series of random things come to mind.
The First Emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Jiajing.
Tai Shang Laojun, Nine Turns Golden Pill, Sun Houhou.
No, no, I went astray.
Yang Xiaotao shook his head quickly, but it undoubtedly showed one thing. In ancient times, these Taoist priests who knew how to make alchemy were pseudo-scientists.
Otherwise, black powder will be produced as a by-product. It’s hard to say that the by-product of these ‘Taoist priests’ with a long tradition is alloy.
It’s really hard to say this. Come on, give it a try.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao put down the empty cup, picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of ham sausage into the bowl, took a bite, and then asked naturally, "Old Taoist, this alchemy is different from steel making."
“The elixirs you make are for food, but the alloys we make are made from materials, so they are different.”
“What’s different, aren’t they all made from alchemy.”
< br>
The old Taoist said nonchalantly, not caring at all that Yang Xiaotao was leading the conversation.
"So, you can also make alchemy?"
"Alchemy? You practiced with the master for a few years when you were young. Later, the master ate his own yellow pills and disappeared, and there was no more. "Refined."
"Now, what I want is psychological. I don't want to eat those pickled things."
The old Tao picked up the chili sauce on the table and took a big dip with his chopsticks. Chunks were stirred into the noodles, and the noodle soup turned red instantly.
"By the way, Lao Dao, why did you go to the northwest in the first place?"
Yang Xiaotao asked calmly, and poured wine for Lao Tao diligently.
"Well, there is nothing to hide now. Just talking about it makes me angry."
The old Taoist took a sip of chili soup and coughed twice, "Back then, the old Taoist withdrew from the north. When I came down, I thought I could demobilize and go back to the Taoist temple to do my own thing."
"I was still young at that time, ahem, and I still wanted to return to secular life."
"But this guy, Lao Huang, is not a thing. He just dragged me to the northwest. He said that I knew how to make alchemy and knew some elixir recipes. He insisted on not giving me a chance to demobilize, and then he went to the northwest."
When the old man talked about it, he thought of those years in his heart. Suddenly, after living in Sijiu City for so long, he missed the people there.
I miss his boss, Director Huang, and the group of subordinates who were interested in his drinking ideas.
Those people, after being together for a long time, have become relatives.
I saw Shen Rong who returned to the city last time and learned some things about it, but most of them still stayed where they were, and I don’t know how they are doing now.
Just when Lao Dao was lost in memories, he didn't realize that Yang Xiaotao was looking at him more and more strangely.
At this moment, the alloy steel work that Yang Xiaotao had no clue about in his mind suddenly started to take shape.
“Come on, old man, let’s do it together.”
“Do it!”
The two of them can drink it even with ham and chili sauce. The spicy taste makes them The old Taoist said that he enjoyed the food.
"Old Taoist, tell me about alchemy refining when you were young."
"Hey, do you like to hear this?"
"Isn't this idle? Let me tell you."< br>
“Okay!”
At this moment, the old Taoist began to talk about what happened when he was young.
"At that time, there was a war between warlords in our country. Today you beat him, and tomorrow he beats him. At that time, I followed the master to the mountain gate."
When the old Taoist talked about the past, Yang Xiaotao poured wine from time to time
Outside the alley, Qin Huairu walked back with the soy sauce bottle, with Liu Guangqi a hundred or ten meters behind him.
After disappearing from everyone's eyes, Qin Huairu slowed down. Not long after, Liu Guangqi followed from behind on the street.
There are not many pedestrians on the road, everyone is rushing home.
The two approached and came to an abandoned house.
Qin Huairu handed a notebook to Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangqi looked surprised, but he took it generously.
"Sister Qin, have you succeeded?"
"Of course, take a look here to see if it is what you want."
Qin Huairu said Still wary of his surroundings, Liu Guangqi only turned two pages, and his psychological expectations suddenly turned into disappointment.
The other party is really obedient and takes whatever he says.
But if a few people can get it once, they can get it a second time.
At the moment, Liu Guangqi looked at Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu, who was looking around vigilantly, suddenly felt a little cold on his stomach and his clothes were pulled open.
“You”
Qin Huairu was about to refuse, but she felt the touch of the paper. When she looked at Liu Guangqi again, she smiled and said, "Hurry up! I still have to make soy sauce."
"Sister Qin, please Faster, faster.”
“Asshole.”
Ten minutes later, Qin Huairu wiped her face and rolled her eyes at Liu Guangqi beside her.
“Fortunately, my clothes are clean, otherwise what would I do if I went back and let the old godly woman know about it?”
Liu Guangqi leaned against the corner and ignored him, just putting the notebook in his arms.
"Sister Qin, you know that Yang Xiaotao made corn, right?"
"What? You know."
"Help me find information about corn next time. ”
“What’s wrong, why are you asking about this?”
Qin Huairu was a little confused, but Liu Guangqi stepped forward and hugged her, "Don't ask so many questions. I have a classmate in agriculture who wants to study."
"Humph, what is there to study? The corn he made last time was so unpalatable that it had only the skin and no covering. "
Qin Huairu complained, and Liu Guangqi became interested and quickly asked what was going on.
Qin Huairu didn't hide it either, and immediately told Jia Zhang about how she and Jia Zhang secretly dug up the corn hidden by Yang Xiaotao.
Liu Guangqi listened quietly, and a thought came to his mind.
Isn't it just research notes? Just make one yourself.
"Old Tao, Old Tao?"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Lao Tao who was leaning on the quilt, his eyes were blurred, and his eyelids had begun to fight.
Maybe it’s recalling the past, maybe there are too many joys and sorrows, maybe it’s because I’m used to life and death.
Drunk into sorrow, looking for drunkenness.
"Ah, um."
The old Taoist responded to Yang Xiaotao, whose words could no longer keep up with his brain.
Yang Xiaotao smiled, then cleared the dining table, spread the quilt for Lao Tao, and then stood aside.
“Comrade Zhang Dedao.”
The old man raised his head, feeling a little uncomfortable hearing this.
"I am now informing you as the chief designer of Hongxing Machinery Factory that you have been recruited."
"Ah? Hmm!"
The old man hummed, but Yang Xiaotao came to the side , took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a few lines.
Then...
"It would be great if there was a recording, so there would be no need to bother!"
"However, with this, I am not afraid that he will regret it."
"Haha..."
