Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

"Xiao Xiang is here. What do you want to eat tonight? Auntie just bought the vegetables when she came back!"

When Xiang Yunduan arrived with Tao Xiaoye, Mei Zhihua was already busy in the kitchen. Her work unit was in Xidan, not far from home, and there were relatively few things going on at the work unit during this period, so she got off work quite early. In this way, you are busy when you are busy, and you are free when you are free.

"Let's take a look at what we bought!"

Xiang Yunduan was familiar with the dishes, as if he were at home. As he spoke, he entered the kitchen and looked at the vegetables Mei Zhihua bought on the chopping board. There were garlic moss, cucumbers, tomatoes, and beans, all of which were seasonal vegetables.

"Auntie, let's make a cold dish here. It's just right. I made some bean noodles today, so let's make some jelly and make some millet porridge!"

Xiang Yunduan said, turned around and took out another bag of pea starch from the three bags.

"Hey, where did you get this thing? It's not common. I've never seen it in the vegetable market or grain store!" Mei Zhihua said in surprise as he took the bean noodles.

"My son-in-law has his own clever plan!" Xiang Yunduan laughed and walked out of the kitchen.

Mei Zhihua was not surprised when she saw Xiang Yunduan claiming to be her son-in-law. She had long been used to it. During this period of contact, she gradually discovered that her would-be son-in-law's personality was sometimes quite out-of-the-box, and a little bit... Bold, or it would be more appropriate to say that there are no taboos.

Not to mention calling himself son-in-law, sometimes he even showed affection to his daughter in front of her. Xiaoye used to be such a shy child, but now he feels a little affected.

However, Mei Zhihua really likes Xiang Yunduan's character. She doesn't want to find a submissive son-in-law who doesn't dare to breathe in front of her.

The eldest son-in-law was originally introverted and shy. She even suspected that her eldest son-in-law was in poor health and was suffering from the illness because he was usually too cautious!

The rice is cooked quickly. After the jelly comes out of the pot, it is placed in an enamel basin and chilled in cold water. It tastes ice cold when eaten. In this summer, eating this is quite refreshing.

"Hey, by the way, why hasn't eldest sister come back today?"

While eating at the dinner table, Xiang Yunduan suddenly realized that there was one person missing from dinner today.

Mainly because when he came back before, he was warned by Tao Xiaoye, so he couldn't react immediately.

"Oh, Minzhen must have gone to a colleague's house. She has been late these days. Didn't you write another song for her a few days ago? You said it was to discuss the arrangement!" Mei Zhihua said casually, After all, the eldest daughter is studying music. Although she doesn't understand it, she can occasionally come up with a few proper nouns.

Speaking of this, Mei Zhihua glanced at Xiang Yunduan again, feeling a little complicated.

Since her eldest son-in-law passed away due to illness, her eldest daughter has been depressed and has no energy to do anything every day. She sees it and is anxious in her heart. She even looks for introductions and arranges blind dates for her eldest daughter, but in the end it doesn't work at all. None, and sometimes it even has the opposite effect.

Unexpectedly, since Xiang Yunduan appeared, she could rarely see the sparkle in her eldest daughter's eyes, and her whole body seemed to have regained its vitality.

This situation really left her wondering what to do.

After all, Xiang Yunduan is the target of my younger daughter!

"That...hiss~"

Xiang Yunduan just opened his mouth and wanted to ask more, but he didn't expect that his feet under the table were suddenly stepped on hard. Looking at the expression of Xiao Ye sitting opposite, who seemed to be eating someone, he quickly said what he wanted to say. He held back his words, then turned to look at his uncle next to him.

"Brother, have you installed the noodle press I told you about last time?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

Tao Xiaomin didn't notice anything on the dinner table, and just ate happily. When he heard Xiang Yunduan's question, he said, "I've been working on it during this period. I've been thinking about it every day after get off work. I have the drawings." The drawing has been completed and the specific design plan has been submitted.

However, this matter is not as simple as you think. What products our factory should produce are all determined in advance. I am a small engineer, how can I just make whatever I want? I am not a factory. long!

Now we are waiting for a meeting at the top. Only after the meeting is over will we know whether we should build a dough press or not! "

"That's it!"

Xiang Yunduan nodded and quickly realized that this was the era of planning, and everything was planned. For example, there were requirements for what a factory should produce and how much it should produce.

After confirming these, we will provide you with supporting things, such as equipment, personnel, raw materials, etc.

Without materials, even if you have the technology, equipment, and personnel, you can’t make it.

However, after all, for such a big factory, it would definitely be no problem to build a few dough presses.

The problem is that it cannot be produced in large quantities.

Therefore, generally when encountering this kind of situation, a few units are trial-produced and then sent to the higher-level department. If the higher-level department feels that this thing is useful and should be manufactured, it will be reported to the planning department. After approval by the planning department, it will be entered. Routine production procedures.

This set will not be implemented until the second year at the earliest.

"Do you have any other good designs?" Tao Xiaomin looked at Xiang Yunduan and asked. The noodle press thing gave him a new understanding of his soon-to-be brother-in-law.

The construction principle of the dough press is actually not difficult, the difficulty is the idea.

After all, whatever machinery factories want to manufacture now, they are all imitations of foreign products, and many people have no idea of ​​creation at all.

"I really have an idea, but whether it will work or not depends on your technical level, brother!" Xiang Yunduan said with a smile.

"Oh? Really? What is it?"

Tao Xiaomin originally just asked subconsciously and had no expectations at all, but she didn't expect that this brother-in-law actually had an idea?

"I call this thing a hand-cranked corn thresher. As the name suggests, it is used to thresh corn!"

Xiang Yunduan said: "My family comes from the countryside, and my ancestors farmed, so I have some insights into farm work myself.

This kind of corn threshing is quite troublesome. Because the freshly harvested corn cobs are relatively wet, they have to be peeled off and then dried in the sun. After drying, they are very hard. You have to use an awl to make a slit on the corn cobs, and then use them slowly. Peeling the corn kernels off by hand is very labor-intensive and not very fast.

If the corn thresher I am thinking of can be successfully manufactured, the speed may be greatly accelerated. One person can support more than a dozen people without any problem! "

Giving these suggestions to Tao Xiaomin was to show off his abilities and please his uncle. Of course, this was not the main reason.

The most important reason is that by taking advantage of my uncle's work convenience, I can do some things that benefit the people.

Something as simple but very practical as a corn thresher is particularly suitable to take out.

After all, even if the blueprints of a combine harvester are presented now, it may not be possible to build it based on the domestic manufacturing level. Moreover, even if it can be built, it will be of no use and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Let alone combine harvesters, even tractors are now impossible to popularize.

Without a market, development will naturally be impossible unless the state subsidizes money. The question is, how can we get subsidies if we are so poor?
