60s: I have a store

Chapter 426 Finished Suitcase

Zhou Yimin talked to Village Chief Wang, then drove his motorcycle out of Shangshui Village. After taking a short stroll, he bought some White Rabbit milk candies and a bottle of Xifeng Liquor at the store, put them on the car, and headed back towards Shangshui Village.

Everything was ready, and Zhou Yimin walked steadily towards Village Chief Wang's house.

I knocked on the door gently, and as it creaked open, the warm smile of Village Chief Wang came into view.

"Yimin is here, come in!" Village Chief Wang greeted cheerfully.

Zhou Yimin smiled, nodded slightly, then stepped over the threshold and walked into the house.

The house was filled with the aroma of food, and several dishes were already placed on the table.

The plate of fried chicken in the middle has an attractive color. The chicken is cut into even-sized pieces with a slightly golden skin. It is paired with green and red peppers, onions, ginger, and garlic, exuding a rich aroma that whets people's appetite at the sight of it.

There are one or two stir-fried vegetables on the side. The vegetables are tender green. After being stir-fried in hot oil, they look more vibrant. There are a few drops of clear oil hanging on the leaves, sparkling under the light.

Zhou Yimin walked forward, gently placed the White Rabbit candy and Xifeng wine in his hands on the table beside him, and said a little embarrassedly: "Village Chief Wang, it's not a good thing, this is just a little gift from me."

Village Chief Wang smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Just come if you want to. Why bring anything with you? It's too polite!"

At this time, two children ran out of the room, probably because they smelled the fragrance of chicken!
However, the children were soon attracted by the White Rabbit milk candies on the table, as if even the fried chicken was not delicious anymore.

Village Chief Wang could not understand what his children were thinking, so he took out two of them and handed them to the two children: "You can only eat one, and save the rest for later."

After saying that, he put away the remaining candies.

This is a rare delicacy made from 100% milk. You must save it for the Chinese New Year!

Although the two kids wanted to stop it, they had the intention but not the ability!

After the meal started, Village Chief Wang opened the bottle of Xifeng wine directly: "Yimin, there are not many dishes, don't be dissatisfied!"

If it were someone else, they would definitely not say that. He had heard about Zhou Yimin's meals.

"No, there is meat now, why would I feel disgusted?" Zhou Yimin answered immediately.

Village chief Wang poured a glass for each of them, and then he couldn't wait to try it. What was the difference between this and drinking regular liquor? This was the first time he had drunk such good wine!
"Good wine!" Village chief Wang couldn't help but exclaim after taking a sip.

After more than half an hour, the whole chicken was basically eaten, but most of it was eaten by Village Chief Wang and his family.

Zhou Yimin just tried a little and didn't take more. He knew that it was not easy to have a meat meal nowadays. There was no shortage of meat anyway. If he ate more, others would have to eat less.

After eating and drinking, Zhou Yimin said, "Village Chief Wang, it's getting late now. I'll go back first."

Village Chief Wang looked outside and saw that it was already completely dark, so he didn't try to persuade them to stay.

Zhou Yimin wanted to go back to the village, but then he thought that he had to go to the factory tomorrow, so he decided to go back to the courtyard so that he wouldn't have to get up so early tomorrow.

I got up early the next morning, especially in order not to delay the production of the suitcase.

One hundred feet of cloth, one hundred kilograms of olive oil, one hundred barrels of gasoline, and one hundred kilograms of strawberries were all bought in seconds.

After getting familiar with the place, I came to the steel plant and went straight to the workshop without even going back to the office.

I found out why the place where I was yesterday was full of things. It seems that Director Hu has put in a lot of effort, otherwise he wouldn't have transported all these things back to the factory so quickly. Engineer Zhou and Engineer Kong were already waiting. When they saw Zhou Yimin coming, they greeted him.

"Section Chief Zhou, take a look, these two are what we just made."

After saying this, he looked at Zhou Yimin with anticipation, hoping to get Zhou Yimin's affirmation.

Zhou Yimin took it and looked at it, then checked it carefully. There was nothing wrong with the appearance. The next step was to test whether the cloth used was durable. After all, a suitcase would be used for at least a few years. If it was just bought, the cloth would be rotten.

This kind of quality problem must not exist.

"This won't work. The cloth will fall apart if you pull it. It's not practical at all."

Then I tested another one. Although it was better than the previous one, there was still some unusual noise. However, the height adjustment of the pull rod was not smooth enough, so I shook my head.

Mr. Kong and Mr. Zhou did not expect that they would still fail.

The two people had no choice but to remove the cloth and replace it with new one.

However, the two men were not impatient at all. This was a matter of reputation for the steel plant and the motherland. They wished Zhou Yimin could be stricter.

After several hours and trying out more than a dozen materials, they finally made a suitcase that met Zhou Yimin's requirements.

The suitcase uses a lightweight and sturdy aluminum alloy frame with wear-resistant canvas fabric. It has multiple compartments inside to facilitate the classification and storage of items. The wheels are made of rubber to ensure quiet and smooth operation. The pull rod can be adjusted in height to meet the needs of different users.

Engineers Kong and Zhou were so excited that they hugged each other, neither of them realizing how hard the day had been for them.

Zhou Yimin was also generous in his praise: "Engineer Kong and Engineer Zhou, you two are really amazing. I had planned to make long-term preparations, but who knew you could accomplish it in less than two days."

After saying that, he gave a thumbs up.

Engineer Zhou and Engineer Kong both breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the reputation of the eighth-level workers was preserved. You know, the eighth-level workers were known for being able to rub aircraft carriers.

It would be really embarrassing if I couldn't even make a small suitcase.

If this matter were to get out and the other level 8 workers knew about it, they would probably laugh their heads off. Although this suitcase looks simple, it is still a bit difficult to make.

Zhou Yimin even told Director Hu the good news, and since the mission had been completed, he didn't have to stay in the factory any longer.

When Director Hu heard this, he could not sit still and immediately came over to check out the suitcase to see if it was reliable. If it was not, he would take advantage of the time and replace it with other products to participate in the Canton Fair.

When Director Hu arrived at the workshop, he was immediately attracted by the suitcase in front of him: "Yimin, is this the suitcase you mentioned?"

First of all, the appearance is completely different from traditional suitcases.

Zhou Yimin nodded: "Director Hu, do you want to give it a try?"

Director Hu affirmed: "Of course we have to try."

Wasn't he in such a hurry to come here just to try out whether this suitcase was reliable?
