Siheyuan: Starting from the promotion of an engineer

Chapter 242 Thanks to Lin Gong for inventing the solar cooker

Yi Zhonghai came to the courtyard in a hurry.

Before I had time to install the solar cooker, I went to find He Yushui first.

As a result, He Yushui was not at home. After helping the deaf old lady clean up the house, she went to play with Chen Zhiguo.

Aunt Yi asked suspiciously: "Old Yi, if you don't hurry up and install the solar cooker, what are you doing looking for rainwater?"

Yi Zhonghai was slightly worried, and smiled awkwardly: "Hey, it's okay, go and call all the people in the yard who have not exchanged money to use the solar cooker, and tell them that the solar cooker I bought is free for the neighbors to use."

"Okay, I'll call someone."

Although it is winter, the solar cooker takes too long to boil a pot of water, but it is still very convenient to heat the water for washing pots and pans, washing hands and face.

It was exactly what Yi Zhonghai thought.

When everyone heard that the solar cooker he bought was free for the neighbors to use.

They all came out to watch the excitement, and didn't care about him being a hypocrite.

Yi Zhonghai saw that everyone came to the Intermediate Court, including Lin Zhen, Yan Jiecheng, Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui also came to watch the fun.

Yi Zhonghai instantly became happy again, feeling as if he had returned to the first uncle.

Throwing aside the worries just now, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"Everyone, young and old, neighbors, some time ago, I brought you some troubles. After these months of reflection, I realized that I made mistakes. No one has faults. I have a chance to correct my mistakes.”

……

People have different expressions, some are smiling, some are mocking, some are sneering and mocking.

Anyway, there were smiles on their faces, but no one wanted to speak up immediately.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care, and continued: "This solar cooker is a testimony of my correction. You can use it casually. I don't want anyone to exchange money. Even if the reflective glass is broken, I won't let you repair it. It's my donation to our hospital. Yes, anyone can use it!"

Yan Bugui smiled slightly, "Hey, Lao Yi, you should buy it earlier. It's winter now, and I don't use it much. If it's better for you to buy it for me, I don't need to buy it."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Isn't it hard to buy some time ago?"

Liu Haizhong said: "That's all it takes. Many people can follow suit. Even in winter, hot water can be used."

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the solar cooker is really a good thing. One-time investment, life-long income, except for almost nothing in winter, it is really useful in summer!"

Liu Guangtian nodded and said: "Of course, it's not obvious to us. In places with little rainfall in the northwest and places with hot weather in the south, solar cookers are a treasure! Look at the solar cookers in our workshop, which have already been shipped out of the country! "

Liang Zidao: "Speaking of which, thanks to the inventor Lin Zhen, no, in front of the solar cooker, it should be called Lin Gong!"

Liu Gen said with a smile: "It's true, thanks for this and that are all false, if it weren't for Lin Gong's invention, with 25 yuan, we wouldn't be able to buy a solar cooker!"

"That's right, thanks to Lin Gong who invented the solar cooker!"

"Hey! I heard that Lin Gong is still developing a solar cooker water heater. It is the second-generation product of the solar cooker. I really look forward to making it soon!"

Lin Zhen was overwhelmed by everyone's praise.

"Okay, okay, please don't praise me, I'm just an ordinary engineer, I'm much better than me, look at the ceiling fan and the black and white TV, all of them are more complicated than the solar cooker too much."

"Oh~ I don't even have a radio at home, let alone a TV. Only big leaders are qualified to watch it."

"Yes, there are too few electric fans, and we can't buy them. This solar cooker is really useful for us!"

"Yes, yes, thanks to you!"

Yi Zhonghai felt as if he had knocked over eighteen vinegar vats.

He spent money to buy a solar cooker in order to win over the neighbors, but the neighbors all praised Lin Zhen.

Did the co-author spend money to buy it for Lin Zhen?
I feel uncomfortable in my heart, but I can't show it on my face.

Qiangqiang smiled and said, "It's not yet three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun is still warm. Who will try to boil water first?"

Liu Haizhong said lightly: "The one I have been using at Yuhua's house has already boiled a pot of hot water today enough to burn my feet at night, so I won't join in the fun."

Several families in the backyard followed Liu Haizhong back.

There is no shortage of people in the front yard.

As for the two solar cookers, only Liugener's family didn't have one, but the family didn't want to come to the backyard to take advantage of Yi Zhonghai.

Only a few families in the Intermediate Court were willing to use it, but they were a little bit taboo. They didn't know what kind of medicine Yi Zhonghai sold in the gourd.

25 yuan to buy a solar cooker is useless?
In the end, only Lao Qi's family boiled a pot of hot water. Compared with the other three solar stoves, there were people queuing up every day, and no one cared about them.

The deaf old lady in the silly column house in the middle courtyard and the Jia Zhang family in Xihu are not in use, and He Yushui is not at home.

After Lao Qi's house finished boiling the water, the solar cooker was empty.

Yi Zhonghai entered the house in frustration, and Aunt Yi persuaded: "Don't think too much, after a while, the old sister-in-law of Xihu will have no misunderstanding with you, and she can use the solar stove to cook every day, and there are also pillars. When I come back next year, it will still be I see you as an uncle."

When he heard that Shazhu would come back next year, Yi Zhonghai became worried again.

I looked at the door and saw that the rain hadn't come back. The more I wanted to inquire, the more anxious I became.

"My wife, I'll go to sleep. If the rain comes back, wake me up."

"Okay, I understand, you go to sleep."

Lin Zhen was chatting with Yan Xiecheng and Liu Jianguo in the front yard, and was talking about the fact that Yi Zhonghai bought a solar cooker for free and no one would use it.

A bicycle suddenly stopped outside the door.

Walk in a man in his 40s.

"Excuse me, does Lin Zhen live in this courtyard?"

Lin Zhen saw that this man had a shrewd face, he was not an honest person who went to work, and he had never seen him in his memory.

Smiling slightly: "I am, who are you? What can I do for you?"

"Ah! You are Master Lin. It's a pleasure to meet you. Can you take a step to talk?"

"Okay, then let's talk on the street at the door."

The visitor was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed and said, "There are so many people on the street, can I come in and sit in your room?"

If it were someone else, they would definitely say some polite words in embarrassment, and then invite them into the house.

But Lin Zhen is not someone else.

You, a stranger, came to me, and I gave my name, and asked who you were and what was the matter, but you pretended to be mysterious and didn't answer, and even wanted to enter the house unceremoniously.

Then I'm sorry, if you have something to say, you should go to the street and tell me.

For people who don't understand etiquette and are arrogant, Lin Zhen will definitely not take them into the house.

"If your comrade doesn't want to say it here, let's go to the street and say that my wife is coaxing the children in the house, which is a bit inconvenient."

"Uh……"

"Don't worry, who are you and what do you want from me?"

Lin Zhen hates these half-talking, pretending to be mysterious people the most.

What is more mysterious than a time traveler like me.

The shrewd middle-aged man smiled slightly, and looked at Yan Jiecheng and Liu Jianguo.

He whispered, "I came from Panjiayuan."

"Oh, so, what's the matter?"

"I've already told where I came from, can you come in and tell me?"

"Come, come, let me find you a quiet place, don't talk halfway, I hate tricksters the most!"

Lin Zhen grabbed the visitor's wrist, exerted a little force on his hand, and pulled him out of the gate like a child.

I thought that you, Panjiayuan, are a fan of antiques. Do you still want to restore it in this period?
I thought where did the master come from, but it turned out to be Pan Jiayuan's, so I probably found out something.

There are a lot of antiques that Da Mao bought from the countryside in his house, let alone let him enter the house.

Lin Zhen dragged him to the backyard of Ye Qi clinic at the mouth of the alley.

"Comrade, tell me, no one comes to the backyard of this clinic, why are you looking for me?"

The man rubbed his wrists and gasped.

"Hiss, Master Lin has great strength, but his temper is a little anxious."

"Not only anxious, but also irritable. Comrade, what is your name? What do you want me to do? If you don't tell me, I can go."

"Don't, don't, my name is Zhang Yuanzheng, I'm here to see you, I have nothing else to do, I just want to chase something."

"what?"

"Hey, let's be smart people and don't speak dark words. We are all experts and don't pretend to be laymen. My ancestors opened an antique shop. Although it is a new era, just like you, the old background is not lost."

"and many more!"

Lin Zhen immediately interrupted Zhang Yuanzheng's words.

"Don't go on talking, I'm different from you. My ancestors were tenants who farmed land for landlords in the countryside. Now I have no relatives in my hometown, and I work alone in a steel rolling mill. Don't make mistakes."

"Hey~ Master Lin was joking, I found out, otherwise I wouldn't have looked for you."

"What's the matter?"

"It doesn't matter if you pretend to be confused, or if you really don't know, I've told you, and you will understand."

"Then you said it!"

"Hey, this summer, I went to Dongxiang and met a dish from the official kiln in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that there were a lot of official kiln dishes in the Qing Dynasty, Liulichang. I wish I could smash the pit, but that dish is very special. I will see it the day before yesterday. Dongxiang, I was going to spend a few dollars to buy it back, but I heard that the plate was bought by a projectionist for a dime."

Lin Zhen's heart moved, wasn't the plate that this person was talking about the same one that Xu Damao entrusted Shen Cuizhen to bring back last time?

It is indeed very special, it was used by the imperial court in the Qing Dynasty, and its appearance is very high.

In the 21st century, you can buy more than [-] yuan.

But he didn't know how he found out that he was here.

Zhang Yuanzheng continued: "Finally, I found out from the village head Niu who has stepped down. The projectionist bought it and gave it to the engineers in the courtyard as a fruit plate. After I came back, I asked again. You are the only engineer in your courtyard. Don't worry." , I inquired secretly, I didn't even look for the projectionist, I know the way here, I will definitely keep it secret for you, and I won't publicize it."

Lin Zhen laughed when he heard this, "Hey! What a big deal, you really thought too much, isn't it just that broken plate? I'll bring it here for you, you! You're as mysterious as an enemy agent, As for? I'm not playing with antiques, just wait!"

"Hey, don't worry, I am a person who understands the rules. I will pay the amount, and it will be kept absolutely confidential. We can cooperate for a long time in the future. No matter how the situation changes, I will definitely keep the word confidential."

"You, I really found the wrong person. I'll bring it to you in a while. It's really used as a plate, not for offering at home."

"Really?!!!" Zhang Yuanzheng was overjoyed. He originally planned to buy it for ten yuan.

"Of course it's true. Just don't come to me mysteriously in the future."

Lin Zhen left with a smile, but felt like a dog beeping in his heart.

I really often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, the one who should come will come sooner or later, it seems that Xu Damao has been more cautious when he went to the countryside to collect things, and this Zhang Yuanzheng has to investigate clearly.
