Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 271 Italian comrades are highly conscious!

Marco Polo took a deep look at the car god Yang Shulin next to him and said a few words in a gibberish voice.

Chen Luyang was in the back seat, smelling the stench of manure and enduring the nausea of motion sickness, and repeated:
"Brother Liu, this Italian guy said your driving skills are incredible. You can even drive on such a bad road."

Liu Yiping said indifferently: "Why can't we drive here? Now that the snow has melted, the road is much easier to drive on than before."

"In the winter before, when it snowed heavily, the snow was almost knee-deep, and we dug it out one shovel at a time."

"People are alive, we can't let the snow block us, right?"

After listening to Chen Luyang's translation, Marco Polo applauded.

After applauding, Marco Polo said confidently:
"Once we redesign the chassis and structure, driving won't be so difficult in the future."

Liu Yiping was happy: "Then I really want to thank you."

After traveling for almost three or four hours, the car finally arrived at the commune before lunch.

When they got off the car, Chen Luyang and Marco Polo's legs went weak.

The two stood in the cold wind for a long time before being led to the commune's small restaurant by Liu Yiping and others.

The wife of Zhang, the accountant in the commune, is a good cook. In addition, the manure factory in the commune made a lot of money last year.
The commune simply built a small restaurant and asked Accountant Zhang's wife to come out and cook.

“Take off your shoes??”

Marco Polo looked at the colorful private room in front of him.

Then he looked at the big black stove pot in the middle of the table.
Then he looked at the small pit under the kang where there seemed to be a fire burning.

People are confused.

what's the situation?
Chen Luyang quickly explained.

"This is how you eat this iron pot stew. When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

"Don't be polite, take off your shoes and sit cross-legged on the bed to eat!"

finished,

Chen Luyang decisively followed suit, took off his cotton jacket and big cotton shoes, and sat cross-legged on the kang.

Marco Polo stood there shamefully for a long time, and finally took off his shoes and sat next to Chen Luyang wearing only socks with his toes exposed.

Hey!
As soon as I sat down,

Marco Polo excitedly lowered his head and touched the kang under him!

It’s hot!!!!
Their toes were numb from being frozen in the car.

Suddenly, I sat down on the warm kang and my butt felt comfortable.

Bai Yunzhao, the head of Yangshulin Commune, Liu Yiping and others took off their shoes and got on the kang. They warmly poured wine for the two of them, and their eyes seemed to see the God of Wealth.

One of the two people in front of you is an Italian engineer who specializes in making cars.

One is the workshop director of the provincial machinery factory.

Italian engineers, it sounds interesting, they are said to be here to help build cars, but in fact it has little to do with them.

But Chen Luyang is different!
Now the commune's new fertilizer plant is about to be completed, and the production line they are currently using is a second-hand production line purchased at a low price from the provincial chemical plant.

Originally one production line was enough.

But in the second half of last year, after the commune built a cattle farm and a milk powder factory, the amount of manure suddenly became sufficient.

A second-hand production line can no longer handle the existing workload.

In the past few days, the commune has been considering inviting experts from the provincial machinery factory to come and customize a production line for them.

Unexpectedly, what they hoped for came true. Before they even came to the door, Chen Luyang came down on his own.

Although Chen Luyang is not responsible for supply and marketing.

But they had already found out everything about the factory in the past six months.

Although Chen Luyang looks young, his status in the factory is quite good.

Words carry weight.

This is a good opportunity to chat with him about the production line!

When the children in the commune heard that foreigners had arrived, they all came out excitedly to watch the fun.

The windows were covered with little heads and hands.

In the end, Bai Yunzhao knocked on the window and scared the child away.

But let alone children, how many adults have ever seen an Italian?

The young wife with bangs who was in charge of serving the dishes secretly glanced at Marco Polo several times while pouring cabbage and goose into the pot.

When Marco Polo saw the girl from the commune, the romantic in his bones came out and he spoke gentle words to the young wife.

The other people present didn't know what this meant, but Chen Luyang's eyelids twitched slightly.

This guy really doesn't know that there are different customs and practices in foreign countries!
If he had translated his words literally, the whole table would have been very awkward.

"Director Chen, what did he say?" the young wife with bangs asked curiously.

"He said it was his first time eating this thing and he didn't know what it was called, so he asked how to eat it." Chen Luyang began to talk nonsense seriously.

The wife with bangs was delighted: "This is called stewed goose in an iron pot. Put the goose and vegetables in and stew them together. Once they are cooked, you can take them out of the pot and eat them."

Chen Luyang turned around and said to Marco Polo:
"She said thank you for the compliments and praise, you are such a nice person."

After Marco Polo enthusiastically praised everyone at the table, the group began to chat intermittently.

Out of politeness,

Bai Yunzhao and the others can first receive foreign guests.

A group of people chatted with Marco Polo, making him very happy.

During the meal, Marco Polo took out a notebook and asked everyone in detail for their opinions and suggestions on car riding.

People in the commune have never ridden in any nice cars.

For them, having a small truck to drive, not having to live in the wind and rain to pull manure in a horse-drawn cart, and having something to shelter from the wind and rain is already a great happiness.

Plus, the workshop director of the machinery factory is still here,

So when people talk about pickup trucks, they basically only say nice things about them.

He didn't mention many problems, but instead praised a lot of advantages.

Marco Polo frowned when he heard this.

He was not good at beating around the bush, so he just said what he wanted to say:
"You guys are so weird. Not only do you have no opinion about such a terrible car, you even think it's great."

Everyone at the table looked at Chen Luyang.

Chen Luyang bravely translated for Yang Shulin and the others, "He praised us for not being able to endure the hardships of summer and winter, and for not being able to develop the skills to kill the enemy. He praised us for being able to persevere despite such a bumpy road, and said we are great!"

Bai Yunzhao was amused: "This Italian comrade is very conscious!"

Who doesn’t like to hear nice things?
Chen Luyang is like a lubricant in the middle, moistening this side and slippery that side, minimizing friction as much as possible and trying to turn all conflicts into sweetness.

When the young wife with bangs came up and lifted the lid of the pot, a cloud of hot steam mixed with fragrance rose from the iron pot.

In Marco Polo's curious and excited eyes,

The young wife with bangs took a spatula and "pa pa pa pa" one by one put the big pancakes sticking to the edge of the pot into the enamel basin.

At the same time, a bowl of hot and tender egg stew was taken out.

"fragrant!"

Marco Polo didn't know how to use chopsticks, so he couldn't help but reach out to grab it.

But as soon as I touched it, I pulled my hand back because it was too hot.

Bai Yunzhao was happy.

"What's wrong with this? Get him two spoons!" The young wife with bangs quickly went to the kitchen to get two spoons. Marco Polo held a spoon in each hand and pushed the big pancake into his bowl as if he was holding a forklift.

When the weather gets cold, people like to eat something hot.

Not to mention that he and Chen Luyang were shivering with cold and following Liu Yiping before dawn, and their stomachs were already empty.

The geese in the commune are all raised by farmers themselves. They are raised with great effort. They usually either bully dogs or nip children's noses. The meat on their bodies is fragrant and chewy, and not fishy at all.

Paired with other side dishes in the big pot, Marco Polo couldn't stop eating.

Liu Yiping looked at Marco Polo, who looked like a starving ghost, and asked Bai Yunzhao in a low voice.

"Boss, is there not enough food in Italy?"

He has little experience and doesn't know what Italy is like.

But the president is knowledgeable and must know everything!
If you have any questions, just ask the president!

Bai Yunzhao looked at Marco Polo with some complexity, and said meaningfully:
"Communism is better, at least we can have enough to eat."

Liu Yiping nodded heavily: "Yes, otherwise they say that if your thinking is not ahead of the times, you will definitely go astray."

Chen Luyang: ...

Bai Yunzhao, with a loving look on his face showing concern for his comrades who were lagging behind, took the initiative to push the egg stew and pancakes in Marco Polo's direction.

Liu Yiping took the initiative to pour wine for Marco Polo.

I don’t know whether Marco Polo’s alcohol tolerance is not good enough or the commune’s liquor is too strong.

While eating, Marco Polo suddenly leaned back and fell asleep on the kang.

Chen Luyang said with a sigh, "This is really like eating on the kang and sleeping on the kang."

Bai Yunzhao smiled and said, "It's okay to sleep on it. The kang is big enough anyway. Just don't eat or poop on it."

"Director Chen, the Italian comrade has fallen asleep. Let's talk for a while."

"Now that the commune's fertilizer plant has been built, we bought a second-hand production line from the chemical plant. Although the comrades from the chemical plant helped us debug the equipment and improve the formula, one production line is really not enough."

"We would like to contact our machinery factory and ask them to customize a production line for us based on the current one."

Chen Luyang was happy: "This is a good thing!"

"At the beginning of the year, the factory's workload wasn't that heavy. If the commune had any production tasks, they could just submit them directly."

"Let's sit down together and study how to improve the production line and increase production efficiency."

For these skilled workers in the machinery factory, airplanes and cars are all manufactured.

It is really easy to build a production line for such a small factory.

Moreover, the machinery manufacturers are large and powerful.
In addition to manufacturing cars and aircraft, there are also motor vehicle workshops dedicated to other production tasks.

Every year, the motor vehicle workshop signs contracts with other factories in the province and even some factories and units in other places to complete production tasks, which also earns some profits for the factory.

Bai Yunzhao said, "Teacher Chen, we don't really care about production efficiency. After all, the factory has a lot of manure raw materials and a lot of output."

"The main problem is that the smell is too strong. We want to build a fermentation tank or a fermentation tank to reduce the smell."

Chen Luyang: "Fermentation tank?"

Bai Yunzhao nodded: "The commune now uses open-air composting for fermentation, and the fermentation time is long and the smell is too strong."

"Our commune used to be a place with abundant water and grass and a good environment."

"But since the fertilizer plant was built, everyone's pockets have gotten fatter, but their living conditions aren't as good as before."

"I'm a commune secretary after all. I can't let the children from the commune smell of manure when they go to the city."

Chen Luyang looked at Bai Yunzhao with admiration and said with emotion:

"Secretary Bai is responsible!"

Bai Yunzhao smiled bitterly: "It's not responsibility."

"Director Chen, my family was poor. When I was little, we raised pigs. I fed and cleaned the pigs in the pen every day, looking forward to the pigs growing up so I could kill them and sell them for money to have a good New Year."

"During the Lunar New Year that year, I wore new clothes and accompanied my parents to the city to sell pork. As a result, the children in the city could smell the pig manure on me from a distance."

“That’s not a pleasant feeling.”

"So I thought, I will never let my children smell like pig manure in the future."

Here Bai Yunzhao is still "reminiscing about the past, the glorious years".

Liu Yiping was probably drunk, so he added something irrelevant:

"Now it's not just your child who has the smell. My child, the Zhang family's child, the Kong family's child, and the Xu family's child all have it too."

"It's not just pig manure, it also smells like cow manure, chicken manure and human feces."

Bai Yunzhao's face darkened.

Chen Luyang quickly advised: "Brother Liu, you can't go to the back and lie down with the Italian comrade for a while."

Liu Yiping was almost sobered up by Bai Yunzhao's glare.

"I'm going to the bathroom. You guys drink first."

Seeing Liu Yiping hide away, Chen Luyang said:
"Secretary Bai, do you have any blueprints you could give me? I'll take them back and have our engineers study them and see if they can build us a fermentation tank or a fermentation pool."

"Yes!" Bai Yunzhao said happily, "When we bought the equipment, the chemical plant gave us a copy of the machine's blueprint, and I've kept it."

"I'll go to the provincial government in a few days to do some business, and then come to our factory to formally discuss the order."

Almost all the most skilled craftsmen in the province are in the machinery factories.

It would be great if they could have a machinery factory to help them build the production line.

The two of them drank, talked and ate for a long time, and Bai Yunzhao suggested:

"Director Chen, would you like to visit our cattle farm?"

"A milk powder factory was recently built near the cattle farm. It's very busy, and there's fresh milk to drink."

"Okay!"

When Chen Luyang heard that there was fresh milk to drink, his eyes immediately lit up.

The last time we brought Naituotuo home, Xiaoling and Junjun were still enjoying it.

The two of them have been flattering Chen Luyang, hoping that he would get some back to try.

Although Liu Yiping comes to the factory every day, I can help him bring milk.

But given Liu Yiping's personality, he definitely wouldn't ask him for money.

Chen Luyang didn't want to take advantage of others, so he kept silent.

Now that he finally has the chance to go to the cattle farm to buy milk in person, Chen Luyang is reluctant to miss it!

But the idiot Marco Polo was unconscious in his sleep and couldn't get up no matter how much we slapped his face.

"If not, let this foreign comrade sleep a little longer."

Bai Yunzhao looked at Marco Polobo with some heartache.

"People who don't have enough to eat on a regular basis will easily get drunk if they drink alcohol unexpectedly."

Chen Luyang: ...

Bai Yunzhao: "The farm is only half an hour away from here. I'll drive you there in my sidecar. Maybe by the time we get back, this Italian comrade won't have woken up yet."

Chen Luyang looked at Marco Polo who was sleeping.

"Okay! Let's go first."
