The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 262: Silk cake dipped in butter!!

After getting Lao Xiao's assurance that he was not angry, Zhang Shenfei told him that their factory was willing to hire people from Longji Construction Factory to build the house this time, and was also willing to let Lao Xiao follow.

But Lao Xiao himself can only appear in the name of a construction worker and cannot walk around the steel mill in the name of a Feng Shui master.

"Also, you don't need to look at Feng Shui when you get there, and you can't say anything about your job on the construction site."

Old Xiao frowned when he heard this, even though he had called for breaking feudal superstitions last year.

But that was for burning incense, worshipping Buddha, and consulting a shaman, and had nothing to do with their civil engineering business. His work at Long Kee was not affected.

But when Zhang Shenfei said this now, didn't it mean that he disliked him for being a Feng Shui master?
Old Xiao looked unhappy. After some consideration, Wang Mantang looked at Zhang Shenfei and asked for mercy.

He said that the Xiao family had been responsible for feng shui at Longji since the time of the Qing Dynasty, whether it was the corridor of the Imperial Garden or the Crystal Palace.
Whether it is the Iron Lion Mansion of "Duan Hefei" or even the current ZNH, they were all completed by Long under the guidance of the Feng Shui master of the Xiao family.

"Feng Shui masters are indispensable in our civil engineering industry. Why don't you let Uncle Xiao do his job?" He tried to persuade Zhang Shenfei.

Who would have thought that Zhang Shenfei was determined to say that there was no position for a Feng Shui master on the steel rolling mill site.

If Lao Xiao goes there, he must use another identity, and he cannot say anything like God's will or Feng Shui. If he cannot guarantee it, he should not go to the construction site.

Upon hearing this, Lao Xiao was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Zhang Shenfei, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this?
When your father came to Longji Construction Factory with his tattered blanket on his back, I was already a man holding a compass under Manager Zhao...

Ask your father if he dares to talk to me like that? At the end of the day, you, a little idiot, look down on me. "

Zhang Shenfei explained: "I'm not looking down on you, but you should see the situation clearly! Privately, you are my uncle. But at work, I have to be responsible for the houses that the workers of the steel mill will live in for the rest of their lives!!!"

Although it was only 1957, once the house was built, people would live in it for decades, so he couldn’t let anyone find fault with him! Otherwise, when the storm started, he was afraid that this house would cause trouble.

"Uncle Xiao, I've actually been wanting to tell you for a long time that you should stop being a Feng Shui master..." Zhang Shenfei looked at Old Xiao seriously, "You're a smart man, you know I'm saying this for your own good."

Old Xiao was so angry that he couldn't think at all. His hands were shaking with anger: "Okay! Don't you, Zhang Shenfei, look down on us Feng Shui masters? Then I won't go to your steel mill construction site. Okay!!!"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves vigorously, turned around and left.

"Old Xiao!!! Old Xiao, how can you, as an elder, be angry with your own child?" Wang Mantang walked forward anxiously and grabbed Old Xiao's clothes to pull him back.

But he was pushed away by Lao Xiao. He looked at Lao Xiao's back and sighed.

Finally, he could only turn around and sit back next to Zhang Shenfei helplessly, saying in a heavy tone: "Da Fei, you know your uncle Xiao's temper. You shouldn't talk to him like this."

Zhang Shenfei also sighed: "Uncle Wang, you are not a confused person. You should be able to see the country's policy on feudal superstition in recent years. You and Uncle Xiao have been brothers for decades. You should also persuade him."

Now the wave of breaking feudal superstition is getting stronger and stronger. Those monks, Taoist priests, and fortune-tellers, which one of them is not behaving humbly? ?
Only Old Xiao still wears a long gown every day and talks about Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li and Dui all the time.

If anyone offends him, he will threaten to kill the other person. He has no idea how to keep a low profile.

Wang Mantang also sighed: "How could I not know? I have advised him several times, but he has a stubborn temper, you know that."

"Actually, Lao Xiao himself is not stupid, and he can also see the change in wind direction." He thought for a moment and then said.

Zhang Shenfei added: "I know, he is just pretending to be ignorant and hoping for the best, so I just pointed it out to him."

Wang Mantang's eyes flashed. Zhang Shenfei is now the secretary of the director of the steel rolling mill and a section-level cadre.

Did he hear something when he said this?
Thinking of this, he panicked a little: "Da Fei, it has been two years since we started to eliminate feudal superstitions, and no one has ever taken it too seriously with your uncle Xiao... That's why I didn't care much...

"I understand what you mean, you can't just ignore this matter from now on? You have to take care of it?"

"Uncle Wang, you are so confused." Zhang Shenfei was very disappointed, "It is precisely because things have not gotten out of hand yet that you have to quickly kill any signs in the cradle.

If the matter gets out of hand, will you still be able to cover it up? By then, even Longji and the Ancient Construction Team might be implicated."

He didn't say this to scare Wang Mantang.

OK! Having said that, Wang Mantang no longer insisted and said that he would persuade Lao Xiao again and make him change this bad habit.

"I have to be responsible for Long Ji! I can't let Long Ji be ruined by a Feng Shui master!" Wang Mantang said, "Da Fei, don't take your uncle Xiao's angry words to heart.

You know him, his temper is like a stone in a toilet, stinky and hard, but he is not a bad person. He really treats you as his own child, so he will say whatever he thinks. "

Zhang Shenfei curled his lips and smiled faintly: "How could I not know him? Don't worry, I won't take it to heart."

If Lao Xiao had a more moderate temper, he would not have been forced to live as a savage in Changbai Mountain for twenty years after the storm.

Zhang Shenfei told Lao Xiao all this today out of consideration for the relationship between him and the original body's biological father.

Before he said this, he had already anticipated Lao Xiao's reaction, so naturally he wouldn't be angry about it now.

After the two of them shared their family situations after not seeing each other for a long time, Zhang Shenfei got up and said goodbye.

The girl who was steaming silk cake in the kitchen got anxious when she heard this: "Da Fei can't leave! How can you go to your uncle's house hungry? Isn't this a slap in the face of our Longji???

Wait, Auntie will make you some silk cakes with some rare ingredients.

Zhang Shenfei hadn't eaten silk cake for a long time and he missed it very much, so he stayed without hesitation.

When the food was served, he saw the silk cake covered with a thick layer of butter and was immediately confused: "Auntie, what the hell is this???"

The girl said with pride: "This is a specialty food of the Mao Bear Country. Aren't there Mao Bear people living in our yard? This butter was given to me by them."

The other party gave her this butter several months ago, but she just couldn't bear to eat it. She took it out today specifically to entertain Zhang Shenfei.

The girl picked up a huge piece of silk cake smeared with butter and stuffed it into Zhang Shenfei's hand: "Da Fei, eat it quickly and eat until you are full."

Ah, this...

Zhang Shenfei looked at the thing in his hand, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

The butter was originally solid, but it melted immediately when spread on the hot silk cake and flowed down the fingers.

Silk cake is yellow in color, and the butter is also yellow. The yellow is added on top of the yellow, and it is sticky, greasy and flowing down, which makes people lose their appetite at the sight of it.

Zhang Shenfei was hesitating about how to start eating when he saw the butter on the silk cake in Wang Mantang's hand flowing down to his wrist. He stretched out his tongue to lick it, and the newly dripped butter flowed down the back of his neck.

The girl took a rag to wipe it, and the whole rag was covered with butter.

Wang Mantang was completely annoyed and slammed the silk cake on the table: "Dafei, let's go! We don't want to eat anymore! I'll take you out to eat!"

Zhang Shenfei wanted to leave, but also wanted to act cute, so he looked at the girl and said, "Hey, my aunt has already prepared the meal, is it a bad idea for us to go out and eat now???"

Wang Mantang said, "Even if I have to eat steamed buns with cold water today, I will definitely not eat this bear food!!!

Are you going to leave or not? If not, I will leave by myself???"

After saying that, he walked out with big strides, followed closely by Zhang Shenfei.

The girl held the hot silk cake and pouted: "Wild boars can't eat fine bran. You two just can't enjoy modern life and don't understand Western style!!!"

Wang Mantang pretended not to hear, and Zhang Shenfei covered his mouth and laughed. The two went out and bought a roast chicken, and ate heartily. After they were full and satisfied, Zhang Shenfei sent Wang Mantang back to Dengzhan Hutong. As Wang Mantang got out of the car, he said:
"Then I will take my people to the steel mill construction site tomorrow to meet with the project leader of your factory?"

"Okay, it doesn't have to be too early. You can just bring Brother Zhuzi and the others there around 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. I will take you to see the factory director then."

After Zhang Shenfei finished speaking, he waved goodbye to Wang Mantang and left.

When I was riding my bike back to Nanluoguxiang, I met Teacher Bai who had been waiting there for a long time.

Three years ago, Teacher Bai became a mother and gave birth to a girl. After entering the planned economy era, Zhang Shenfei met her frequently.

Every time we meet, we drive.

As time went by, Zhang Shenfei discovered that the car was good in every other respect except its water tank.

Every time the car accelerated, the water pressure would be too high, and Zhang Shenfei had to pull out the key to release the water while driving at high speed.

This time was the same. After the conflict died down, Zhang Shenfei agreed to buy 50 kilograms of food for Teacher Bai, and the two parted ways.

……

Early the next morning,
It was a morning in the old city where even the air was chilly. The sun rose as usual, and a thin layer of frost covered the eaves, tree branches, and window frames of the courtyards.

The frost sparkled with crystal light in the morning light. Perhaps because the weather was cold, the residents of the courtyard got up a little later than usual.

Even Liu Haizhong postponed the time of beating his son by half an hour.

It was almost six o'clock in the morning, and the yard was still quiet.

Only Yan Bugui was waving a big broom, and the sound of sweeping echoed in the yard.

Without noise, it seems more lonely.

When the yard was almost swept, the sounds of people putting on shoes, coughing, and talking began to be heard from each household in the courtyard.

In the backyard, Liu Haizhong also started practicing, waving a cowhide belt.

After Zhang Shenfei finished washing up and was about to go to the vegetable cellar to get some cabbage, he opened the door and met Yan Bugui face to face.

"Good morning, Mr. Yan!"

"Good morning, Uncle Third. Where are you going so early in the morning?" Yan Bugui said with a smile.

"My grandma is going to make me some steamed cabbage buns, right? I'll go to the kitchen and get some cabbage."

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Shenfei picked up a cabbage from the vegetable cellar and walked away, breaking off the yellow leaves and throwing them on the garbage dump.

Although the surface of the cabbage is covered with dry leaves after winter, it is still fresh and tender inside when broken open.

The old lady was rolling out the dough to make vegetable steamed buns, while Zhang Shenfei was squatting obediently in front of the stove and making a fire.

I also took the time to pull down a head of garlic from the garlic braid under the eaves, peeled it and mashed it into garlic paste.

Eating vegetable steamed buns without mashed garlic is like eating hot dry noodles without sesame paste.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Shenfei brushed his teeth again and then went straight to the steel rolling mill.

When Wang Mantang brought his apprentices to survey the land where the steel rolling mill was going to build collective housing, they attracted a large number of workers to watch.

Everyone was pointing and discussing where they would be closer to buy vegetables after moving into the new house, and which grain store their food supply would be transferred to.

A few others were discussing which floor their homes would be located on and which piece of land they would be allocated after the house was built.

When I heard that the person in charge of the project was a master from Long Kee Construction Factory, I was immediately excited.

"Isn't Longji the craftsman who made the collar? The one who built the Imperial Garden."

"We are now enjoying the treatment of the emperor."

"I heard that Longji was also responsible for the restoration of Dongzhimen two years ago."

"The work they do is authentic."

"We really made the right choice to buy this house. We can enjoy the treatment of an emperor!!!"

The steel rolling mill's project to build collective housing was actually launched, which immediately attracted discussions from countless other factories in the city.

After finding out the pattern of building houses of steel rolling mills through inquiries, these factories began to get ready to move.

After all, a house is a very important thing in this era.

If this problem can be solved, the weight of this leadership team in the hearts of the workers will be unparalleled.

The factories held numerous small meetings to discuss this matter behind the scenes, but in the end, no one dared to start the project.

After all, in their view, the steel mill had already taken the initiative to move forward by feeling its way forward, trying to cross the river.

Naturally, there was no need for them to take risks and they should wait and see whether the other party could really get ashore. It would not be too late to follow them afterwards.

What if the steel mill thing doesn't work out? They won't lose anything.

As the construction of the steel mill began, countless pairs of eyes from different directions were always watching them.

The Ministry of Metallurgy even brought up this matter for discussion during a meeting.

When Director Wen heard that the idea of ​​building a collective building was from Zhang Shenfei, he couldn't help but sigh:
"This kid Zhang Shenfei... when he entered the steel mill five years ago, I knew he was something special.

I thought this guy would be quiet after the establishment of the peeler factory, but I didn't expect that he would be so active. "

After he reminded him of this, Director Yang suddenly remembered the past.

When Zhang Shenfei developed the peeler, it was Director Wen who praised him very much and made great efforts to promote the establishment of the peeler factory.

He also went against everyone's opinion and allowed Zhang Shenfei to work part-time as a technician.

It was also because of the success of the Foreign Trade Peeler Factory that Director Wen became a celebrity in the Ministry of Metallurgy, and there were even rumors that he would make further progress next year.

It is naturally a good thing for one's subordinates to show up in front of the leader, so Director Yang followed Director Wen's words and praised Zhang Shenfei a lot.

Director Wen listened with a smile, nodding from time to time. Sometimes his eyes seemed to be thinking about something, Director Yang noticed it, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After get off work this afternoon,

As soon as Zhang Shenfei got on the bicycle driven by Xu Damao and arrived at the factory gate, he saw Secretary Wang from the transportation company standing in the shadow not far from the gatehouse, as if waiting for someone.
