Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

Zhang Huaqiang glanced at the notebook and said, "I just tried it three more times, and the temperature is now stable at minus ten degrees Celsius."

As he spoke, he reached out and turned on the machine. With a soft hum, the refrigeration unit slowly started running, and a thin layer of white frost quickly condensed on the copper pipes.

Shen Dong took a closer look. The refrigeration unit wasn't large. The internal compressor was encased in an iron shell, with several copper pipes winding around it. A simple temperature control instrument was also installed on one side.

A short while later, the pointer came to a steady stop at minus ten degrees Celsius.

"Hmm, not bad!" Huang Maoqiang nodded and praised, "How about it, Xiao Shen? If it weren't for the blueprints you provided, this treasure wouldn't have been able to be produced."

Shen Dong smiled and waved his hand: "It's about helping each other out. I have the blueprints but no technology, and you have the technology but no blueprints. By combining our efforts, we have what we need. So this is not just my achievement."

Huang Maoqiang didn't take it seriously and just smiled.

"The materials for this refrigeration machine were all sourced by our agricultural machinery station. They're a bit ugly, but they're durable," Zhang Huaqiang explained from the side. "Look, this is the feed inlet. Put the popsicle molds in, and they'll be frozen solid in two hours."

Regularly add oil to the compressor and never let it run idle; it can last for several years.

Shen Dong listened intently and was about to borrow a notebook to take notes when Zhang Huaqiang said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've written down all the precautions here."

Seeing Shen Dong take the notebook and start reading, he smiled and patted Shen Dong on the shoulder: "Don't worry, if there are any minor problems, have the workers try the methods I taught. If they still can't solve it, I'll be there whenever you call."

Shen Dong didn't linger any longer and immediately followed the county agricultural machinery station's truck back to the factory.

The equipment is there, but the workshop is not yet available.

As if the incident were repeating itself, this time Yang Yujun couldn't just write a note casually; he had to follow all the proper procedures.

But this time, Shen Dong was much tougher.

After the last summary meeting, the bank loaned us 6 yuan, and we need to spend that money.

Having experienced several decades in his previous life, he knew even more that making money from money was the most important thing.

flower!

Since his last disappearance, Zhang Daikui's life in the commune has been difficult. Yang Yujun has already tacitly accepted that he is a problematic person, and even though he is the deputy director, Yang Yujun no longer assigns him any work.

He did attend the meeting on time.

Soon, Shen Dong leased the vacant land opposite the factory, and the rent was 500 yuan, just like before.

Shen Dong immediately arranged the division of labor and steadily promoted the construction of the workshop.

"Tiger, go to the team and talk to your grandpa."

The team is already quite busy right now, as spring planting has begun.

Corn, soybeans, and cotton are all crops that will be planted at this time, requiring the whole family to work in the fields, so there may not be a lot of labor available.

Tiger responded and immediately got on his bike.

"Little monkey, go to the brick and tile factory and bring over bricks, tiles and cement. Ask Master Niu in their workshop for the exact quantities. Just say it's for the dairy factory to build a cold storage room. He'll know everything."

"Aunt Liu, stop what you're doing and go find a mold maker next to the supply and marketing cooperative. Ask him to make some small animal molds, about ten centimeters in size."

"Aunt Li, take a look at the people who came to register for jobs before. Do you know how to make popsicles? Now that we've finished building this place, we still need a few more people."

"Alright, factory manager, we'll go right away!" Everyone got to work, each doing their assigned tasks.

After finishing the arrangements here, I suddenly remembered that the refrigeration workshop needed to be powered on, and I had to ask Yang Yujun about it, so I ran over to find him.

Tiger quickly received news that the men in the team were unavailable in the morning, but were free in the afternoon and evening, and could come and work until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

It's already April, the weather is warming up, and the nights aren't too cold, which is a good way to speed up the construction schedule.

"Okay, tell Jiajia to get the contract sorted out immediately, and we'll start digging today."

In the afternoon, Li Youhai brought over a group of people. Hearing that there was work to be done at the dairy factory, the men in the team rushed to do it, and almost got into a fight.

It's all because of the work done on the new factory last time. We treated these guys to a good meal, and when they got back, they were showered with praise.

What do you mean by eating your fill every day, having meat at every meal, drinking milk with rice, and getting extra calcium for nutrition?

Okay, this time when I need help, I don't care about my friends or neighbors anymore.

In the end, it was the old captain who stepped in to mediate, and that's how the final list came about.

"After all, we're doing this for someone else. Even if it's Dongwa's matter, we have to handle it well. Do any of you even know how to do bricklaying? Why are you arguing here?"

"Alright, you guys do a good job, don't embarrass our production team."

The ground was already flat, so digging was very quick, and bricks, tiles, and cement were also transported over at the same time.

The next day, the workshop was already taking shape. As usual, Shen Dong inspected it and emphasized the sealing again.

The most important aspect of a refrigeration workshop is its refrigeration effect; the cold air must not escape, so airtightness is of paramount importance.

"Everyone must make sure the walls are built tightly and the roof is tiled properly without any gaps. Otherwise, the cold air will escape, and even the best refrigeration unit will be useless. The popsicles you make will also melt easily."

In the evening, Li Shangen also came over.

"Grandpa, what brings you here?"

"I came to check on the progress. These guys almost got into a fight yesterday. I was worried they wouldn't be working properly, so I came to keep an eye on things."

"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on it too. The refrigeration workshop is very important, we can't be careless."

Li Shangen went to the construction site to take a look. It was almost finished and would be completed today.

When Li Youhai saw his father coming over, he jogged over to report on the progress, and then punched the wall hard to show that the wall was hard enough. Only then did Li Shangen feel relieved.

By 8 p.m., after two days of hard work, the refrigeration workshop was taking shape and was ready to start operating once it was powered on.

There wasn't much food at the factory, so Shen Dong gave everyone a bucket of milk, dozens of cans of yogurt, and two pounds of biscuits each, which he had specially saved for today, so they could take them back and share.

The next morning, Shen Dong went out to the agricultural machinery station to find someone to help with wiring and equipment debugging.

Li Zelin and Shen Dong hadn't seen each other for a while. Ever since he found out that Shen Dong and Qiu Xiaoqin had gotten together, Li Tong had cried and made a scene at home several times, and he had also cursed Shen Dong behind his back many times.

But here we see that although he still has a smile on his face, he doesn't let up on his words.

"Director Shen, I know your dairy factory is in a hurry, but the workers' schedules were all set in advance, and everyone is busy right now. There's really no way I can find the time to come and help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Dong turned and left. "Fine, I'll go find Director Yang. He has a lot of influence."

Li Zelin's face immediately fell.

You only go to the director. Is the director your father?

Despite cursing inwardly, she still stopped Shen Dong.

"Director Shen is still young and rather anxious. I'll go and ask him."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Station Chief Li."
