Chapter 1137 Plum Blossom Soap
Twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month.
Yang Xiaotao came to the chemical factory and personally presided over the Meihua brand soap production ceremony.
Coming together were Chen Gong and Sun Guo. In addition, there were the directors of two slaughterhouses, plus people from the machinery factory and the chemical factory. The crowd was very loud and the momentum was not small.
As the preparations were completed, Yang Xiaotao did not speak, and came to the production workshop. Under the attention of everyone, he pressed the switch of the mixer. With a rumble, the chemical plant officially produced Meihua brand soap.
Workers around continuously put the collected grease into the mixer. Under the action of chemical reagents, the temperature rises and reacts quickly. Then the reacted solution is condensed and quickly cooled down. After some processing, it gradually forms a solid strip.
Driving by the rolling machine, these solid strips are quickly cut into pieces of soap by the machine on three conveyor belts.
Then the next pot continues.
Half an hour later, the first piece of soap engraved with plum blossom patterns came down from the conveyor belt.
Applause burst out from the surrounding area.
Yes, plum soap.
After Yang Xiaotao talked about looking for spices, Xu Yuanshan immediately sent people to inquire after he came back, and they actually found it.
This spice shop was a women's business before liberation. After liberation, it underwent some transformation and became a small industry owned by a public-private partnership.
Although it is only a small workshop, it is not a problem to supply spices to chemical plants.
Besides, in order to save costs, Xu Yuanshan and the others were reluctant to invest too much.
Even so, this first piece of cut plum blossom soap smells faintly of fragrance.
This fragrance is much more refreshing than applying cream.
Yang Xiaotao put the first piece of soap in the wrapping paper himself, then wrote the words "Red Star Machinery Factory's No. 1 Soap" on it, marked the time below, and handed it to Lou Xiao'e for safekeeping.
This is what Yang Youning asked before coming here, saying that it would be placed in the memorial hall.
As for why he didn't come, it was because he was called to the First Machinery Department for another meeting.
I heard that progress has been made in Yanzhou. The location has been selected and manpower will be gathered to lay the foundation in the spring of next year.
They also went to the meeting to prepare for building the factory.
As for Liu Huaimin, he also went to the First Machinery Department, but not for this matter, but because the northwest side had already selected a factory and needed to coordinate the progress.
They also want to confirm what machines are needed for the branch factory to be established.
In this regard, Liu Huaimin followed Yang Xiaotao's advice and prepared to transfer the production process of Red Star Tractor
It has been moved to the northwest. As for the subsequent production of tricycles or large tractors, it depends on the Ministry of Commerce’s contact with surrounding franchise countries!
The tricycle has been made, and experiments are being carried out now, and subsequent production lines and related personnel are being deployed.
The research and development of the large tractor has also come to an end, and it is estimated that it can be assembled in the next two days.
Finally, regarding the development of armored vehicles, the three of them also clearly divided their responsibilities, and the leader was naturally Yang Xiaotao.
After all, it is a task specially assigned by the superior. Even if you cannot complete it, you must have a serious attitude towards it.
Of course, Yang Xiaotao also has his own plan.
Thinking about what may happen in the future, the North and the South will be uneasy, and naturally they need more and better weapons.
I clearly have the blueprint for a powerful eight-cylinder engine, so why should I keep it to myself?
Why not take a bigger step?
So, screw the four-cylinder engine, Yang Xiaotao will just go for the eight-cylinder engine.
For this reason, Yang Xiaotao studied the drawings in the study for the past two nights.
Having previous experience, this study went very smoothly.
Yang Xiaotao plans to wait until those experts arrive before talking.
Yang Xiaotao feels that this year is really busy!
“Mr. Yang!”
Lou Xiao'e reminded beside him, bringing Yang Xiaotao's thoughts back to reality.
Seeing Xu Yuanshan and others looking at him, Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "There are too many things to do, and I am a little distracted."
Xu Yuanshan sighed in his heart.
Today's machinery factory is gaining momentum and is soaring to the sky.
But correspondingly, there will be no less things and no less pressure.
Especially now, let alone Venus, as an important part of the Gemini project, the chemical plant is about to start petrochemical industry, which naturally involves a lot of energy.
This is just the case with the chemical plant. In addition to the machinery plant here, there is also a steel plant. We also need to help Yanzhou build a steel plant and cooperate with the northwest. I even heard that there is action in steelmaking.
None of these things is simple, and every one of them is an important burden in their eyes.
Pressed on his shoulders, even he felt heavy.
Looking at Yang Xiaotao's slightly childish face, but his mature look, Xu Yuanshan felt something in his heart. The child who was reading in the corner of the workshop has grown up!
"Take a rest when you are tired. You will never finish this work!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled after hearing this, "I know!"
"But some things cannot be stopped after they have been done. , only by constantly moving forward can we maintain our eyesight. "
"Otherwise, it will be difficult to bring it up again if the breath is gone."
Xu Yuanshan felt relieved, "Don't worry, there are still Lao Liu and Lao. Yang.”
"Yeah, so I don't want to think about it. I'll go to your house for another drink sometime!"
Yang Xiaotao changed the topic and walked up to Xu Yuanshan with a smile.
"You kid, when do you need more time? Just come!"
"Haha, then, in two days I will take my wife and children to pay you New Year greetings."
"Come, come all, there will be no shortage of red envelopes..."
The two talked happily, and everyone around them was envious.
I envy Yang Xiaotao's luck, I envy Yang Xiaotao's ability, and I even envy Xu Yuanshan's good luck.
As long as Yang Xiaotao does not make mistakes, he will have a bright future at such a young age.
The relationship between Xu Yuanshan and him shows how helpful it will be in the future.
While the two were talking, the machine kept stopping. A piece of soap is extruded by a machine, quickly grabbed by a worker on a conveyor belt, put into a packaging box, fixed with glue, and then placed in a basket behind him.
At this speed, Yang Xiaotao estimates that four to six yuan can be produced per minute. If the speed is faster, more workers will be needed.
At this rate, if there are enough raw materials, we can make at least five to six thousand yuan a day from morning to night.
Excluding other reasons, with the existing raw materials, it is possible to produce thousands per day.
This is much more efficient than the No. 1 Chemical Plant.
Thinking of this number, Yang Xiaotao was looking forward to how many soaps this pot could make in the end.
“Some of these people are family members of workers, come here to help this time!”
Xu Yuanshan looked at a row of female workers sitting on both sides of the conveyor belt, busy working seriously, and stepped forward and said.
Yang Xiaotao nodded, looked at it carefully for a while, and then shook his head, "Uncle Xu, this is not the way to go."
"This is just one production line. In the future, there will be three or four lines for soap production. It will only increase and more manpower will be needed.”
"Every comrade in our chemical factory has a task, and this kind of work should not involve too much energy."
"I think we can recruit some idle women to be responsible for packaging production. In the future, they can also be regarded as employees of our machinery factory Employees!"
Xu Yuanshan nodded, "I think so too."
The two of them did not shy away from the people around them. After hearing this, several women around them immediately opened their eyes and exchanged words. Delivering the message.
As a result, the news that the chemical factory was recruiting female workers had spread outside the factory before Yang Xiaotao left.
"Factory director, Mr. Yang, we have calculated it."
At noon, Director Li ran over with a detailed list, a smile on his face.
"How much?"
"Director, according to our calculations, one kilogram of grease can make two kilograms of soap. This is 30% higher than the output of the No. 1 Chemical Factory, and Our colors are clearer and there are no abnormalities after testing.”
Director Li excitedly handed the report to Xu Yuanshan.
"Our mixer can only put in 800 kilograms of grease at a time, and this time we produced a total of 1,748 pieces."
"Director Li, how much raw material are there now, and how long will it take for you to wait? ”
“Mr. Yang, it takes almost two hours from the beginning to the end of each production. ”
“However, it takes a long time to clean the mixer. It is estimated to take half an hour. "
Director Li said, Yang Xiaotao nodded.
"In this way, Uncle Xu, adjust the mold and reduce the size of the soap by another 10%. This will increase the efficiency a lot."
"When the salary is paid at the end of the year, you have to make up the amount."
Xu Yuanshan nodded after hearing this, knowing that this was going to be distributed to the workers as welfare.
After hearing this, the women around me became more enthusiastic about entering the machinery factory.
Outside Sijiu City.
With the sound of a gunshot, a figure fell to the ground.
On the other side, brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu came tremblingly. They suppressed the feeling of vomiting in their hearts and cleaned up the 'eldest brother'. Finally, not far away, they directly picked firewood and burned it. Ash.
"Let's go, our destination is the northwest."
The shouts of the guards came from beside me, and the heartbreaking cry of the second aunt was behind me.
The two looked at each other, stepped forward, pulled the second aunt up, and then followed the guard.
They are leaving today.
Coming here is also a way.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after dinner, those who came to witness were immediately ready to go home.
Of course, everyone is carrying a cloth bag with freshly made plum blossom soap inside.
Yang Xiaotao was sitting in the car, with a whole box of soaps in the back, exactly one hundred of them.
Back at the machinery factory, Yang Xiaotao came to find Yang Youning with the first piece of soap. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a cough from inside.
There was a clear vibrato in his voice, like an old man who had been ill for a long time.
"Uncle Yang, what's going on?"
"I guess it's because I'm freezing. The stove at home is hot, and it's cold when I come out. When I'm hot, I'm cold. If I cough, I'm catching a cold."< br>
Yang Youning had trouble with his cold a few days ago, and now the weather has turned cold again, knocking him down again.
"You should also be careful. Many children in our family courtyard have also been infected. This situation is very serious."
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao briefly talked about the plum blossom soap in the chemical factory. Yang Youning Say yes again and again.
I also agree with Yang Xiaotao’s suggestion of adding plum blossom soap to the New Year benefits.
Then Yang Xiaotao handed the first piece of soap to Yang Youning and turned around to leave.
As for the hundred yuan brought back, it was given to Chen Gong.
When Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard, he heard a lot of coughing, and some people even kept coughing.
He knows that winter is the season when diseases are prone to occur, especially influenza, which comes quietly but suddenly breaks out.
Yang Xiaotao was worried and hurried home to check on his wife and daughter.
I felt relieved when I found out that there was no problem at home.
Only the next day, when there was only one day left before the Chinese New Year, Yang Xiaotao realized how widespread the flu was.
As soon as I woke up in the morning, I heard the loudspeaker of the street office announcing the current influenza situation, calling on everyone to gather less, go to crowded places less, and carry out cleaning and sanitation activities.
Yang Xiaotao gave masks to Ran Qiuye and others and asked them to go out less.
At this moment, I don’t know who came out with the news, saying that the soap produced by Hongxing Chemical Factory can effectively prevent influenza, which immediately caused uninformed people to inquire.
