Siheyuan: Laoliu's blessing to create the strongest life

Li Huaide said excitedly to the canteen director Lao Du.

Li Jianxun joked:

"Director Li, what's going on? Can't you survive? Haha."

Li Huaide knew that Li Jianxun was making fun of his stinginess in the past for not wanting to provide food and drink for the workers, so he also smiled and replied:

"Chief Li, the factory is not short of money, but people like you who can get meat. How can I live without you in the future, right?"

“Hahahaha. Haha.”

"What Lao Li said is that even if you have money, you can't buy meat. How can you make sense of this?"

"Now it's all right. If you want money, you have money. If you want meat, you have meat."

"The workers can now live a good life, thanks to Section Chief Li."

Several people heard the conversation between Li Jianxun and Li Huaide and clapped and laughed.

"However, Chief Li, there won't be much meat left in the factory after we eat the braised pork this time. I'll have to trouble you to contact us again."

Director Yang gradually stopped smiling, but he still hadn't forgotten his work.

"It's not a big deal. I'll drive the car away tonight and bring it to you tomorrow morning. I'll start with twenty fat pigs, ten sheep, five hundred chickens, and five hundred rabbits."

"Also, from now on, it won't just be our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, but also the branches and parts factories below it, as well as other factories in Sijiu City. If they're short of meat or food, you can tell me and I'll take care of it all."

Li Jianxun took on the responsibility directly.

Just kidding, there are about six or seven hundred adult pigs in the miniature earth right now.

The five thousand pigs he raised in the valley had not yet grown up, but at a flow rate of ten times, it would only take more than half a month for these five thousand pigs to grow up.

By then, it would be a problem to sell so much pork.

Five thousand pigs, damn, if the steel mill eats ten pigs a day, it will take five hundred days.

This does not include continued breeding and other meats such as cattle, sheep, rabbits, chickens, etc.

Therefore, relying solely on the consumption of steel mills is far from enough, and we can only expand the meat supply channels.

When Director Yang and his colleagues heard Li Jianxun's "big words", they were stunned for a moment.

"Section Chief Li is really young and capable. He has so many channels at such a young age. It's really amazing."

"My God, getting twenty fat pigs and ten sheep at once, as well as five hundred chickens and five hundred rabbits, I never dared to dream of doing this."

"Hasn't Section Chief Li said that from now on, not only our factory, but also our subordinate factories and friendly factories will be taken care of by Section Chief Li. What a huge scale this is."

"Jianxun, I found that I still underestimated you. The whole country is short of meat and food, but you don't seem to care about it at all. I, Old Yang, am completely convinced. If I had this ability, my tail would be so high up in the sky, hahahaha."

"Haha, Director Yang is right. If I had the ability to easily get a lot of meat and food, I wouldn't care about anyone."

The office suddenly became like a boiling pot.

There was no way, what Li Jianxun said was too shocking.

Li Huaide agreed from the side, but he had other ideas in his mind.

His father-in-law was the leader of logistics in the Ministry of Industry (First Ministry of Machinery). He could not be compared with Li Jianxun's aunt Li Junzi, but he was also in the middle sequence.

Now his father-in-law is worrying about food and meat all day long. If he can connect with Li Jianxun, what will he worry about?

Li Huaide planned to secretly find Li Jianxun at night to find out what he had to say and whether he could get more money from him.

If Li Jianxun really gave in, his father-in-law would definitely look at him differently.

Chapter 84 The whole factory eats braised pork

After receiving Li Huaide's order, the canteen directors of the steel rolling mill arranged for people to get the meat.

As soon as the meat was brought back, the chef took the knife and started to cut it further.

In just twenty minutes, thanks to the efforts of everyone in the cafeteria, a big fat pig was cut into different parts, and the pork was also divided into thumb-sized pieces.

The chef in the cafeteria heated up a big pot, added cold oil to the hot pot and fried the onions, ginger and garlic. He then immediately poured the chopped braised pork into the pot and stir-fried it slowly over medium heat.

The lard gradually seeped out and the surface turned brown. The aroma filled the cafeteria, making people drool.

After a part of the lard in the braised pork has been rendered out, the peppercorns and star anise are put into the wok and stir-fried for a few times. The aroma rises again, attracting many people to lie on the canteen window to watch.

Continue to stir-fry for a while. After the aroma of the spices is fully stimulated, add warm water to cover the braised pork and simmer over low heat.

Now we just have to wait for the soup to dry up. Once the soup dries up, the braised pork can be served and it will be time for the workers to get off work.

"Oh, it smells so good, I can't help it. It's almost making me dizzy."

"I don't feel like working at all now. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I'll let him do whatever he wants. I must have a bowl of meat and two big white steamed buns."

"After a long time without meat, I lost my energy to work. But now that I'm about to eat meat, I still have the energy. Haha."

"We have to thank Section Chief Li for this. Without him, would we be able to drink whole lamb soup and eat braised pork? No other factory worker would have such treatment."

Amid the workers' discussions, it was finally time to get off work.

"Ding ding ding, ding ding ding."

As soon as the bell rang for the end of get off work, what happened yesterday afternoon happened again.

Workshop workers poured into the cafeteria like waves, and everyone in the cafeteria tried their best to maintain order.

"Everyone line up. Those who don't line up won't be given a shot."

"Master, I'm waiting in line. Give me one portion of braised pork, one portion of tofu, and two cornmeal buns."

"Okay, one portion of braised pork, one portion of tofu, and two cornmeal buns for 65 cents."

The chef at the window scooped a full spoonful of trembling braised pork and put it in his lunch box, and then went on to make some tofu.

"Hey, Master, that's not right, why is it sixty cents?"

"Oh, the factory leaders have unanimously decided that today's braised pork will be supplied to our workers at cost price."

The worker slapped his thigh and said excitedly:

"That's great. I don't want tofu. Please give me another portion of braised pork."

"okay."

Originally, the worker planned to make one portion of braised pork and one portion of tofu, pour the braised pork broth on the tofu and eat it at noon, and save the braised pork to take home for his child in the evening.

The workers didn’t know at first, but now they know, and the news spread instantly.

"Master, give me two servings of braised pork."

"Master, give me four servings of braised pork."

"Er Mazi, you can eat four servings, but I'm afraid you won't die from overeating, right?"

"Tsk, you also typed three copies, so don't blame anyone else."

"Master, give me two servings too. My family hasn't had braised pork in a long time."

The cafeteria was filled with excited discussions, even more lively than during Chinese New Year.

The window attendant also worked hard to serve the food. Perhaps it was Sha Zhu's punishment that served as a reminder to everyone, so they filled every spoonful for the workers.

At this time, Li Jianxun was also invited to the small kitchen room by Director Yang and other leaders.

As soon as he entered the private room and sat down, Director Yang started to flatter me.

"Jianxun is still amazing. I just walked along the way and heard many workers say that Section Chief Li is amazing. They drank whole lamb soup yesterday and ate braised pork today. They were happier than during the Chinese New Year."

Not to be outdone, Li Huaide followed closely behind:

"Yes, now the workers can be said to be enjoying themselves. Yesterday they drank whole mutton soup for free, and today they ate braised pork at cost price. Let's see which worker dares to complain about the poor food in our factory now, hahaha!"

Several other leaders nearby echoed the sentiment, and the atmosphere before dinner was extremely lively.

Jiang Yinian was also happy listening to this. After all, she was Li Jianxun's assistant. The more powerful her leader was, the more proud she would be.

"Come on, leaders, the food is ready."

As soon as the waiter arrived, he started serving the dishes.

“Braised pork one dish”

“Braised Pig’s Trotters”

"Three Treasures of the Whole Pig"

“Spiced pork strips”

……

The cafeteria prepared eight dishes and one soup, and the small single room was instantly filled with the aroma of food.

"Xiao Jiang, quickly pour some wine for Section Chief Li. Today we have delicious food and good wine. We need to have a nice drink."

Jiang Yinian hurriedly stood up and was about to pour the wine, but was stopped by Li Jianxun.

"Alas, I have something else to do this afternoon, so I won't drink at noon."

"Director Yang, I have something to talk to you about this afternoon. This matter is of great importance. Please stop drinking and let the other leaders drink instead."

"Okay, things are more important, drinking shouldn't interfere with work."

Director Yang had no time to say anything and agreed immediately.

Although several other leaders were craving for wine, they all said they had things to do in the afternoon.

Look at the level of these people's understanding, they might be leaders.

"Since you don't want to drink, let's eat more food. Jianxun, come and try the new chef in the second cafeteria and see how he does."

Director Yang held back his saliva and let Li Jianxun take the first bite.

Li Jianxun picked up a piece of braised pig's trotter. The trotter was rosy in color and the meat on it was trembling. It looked good at first glance.

When you take a bite, the sauce is rich and fatty but not greasy.

"Not bad, your skills are good. Everyone, stop staring and start eating."

Li Jianxun invited everyone to eat together, and everyone started to eat.

"Oh, this level is pretty good, not worse than He Yuzhu."

"Yes, this braised pork is fragrant, soft and glutinous, not too dry or greasy, it's really good."

"It seems that I have to come to the second cafeteria in the future. I want to try the cooking of the three treasures of pigs. I'm tired these past few days and need to make up for it."

The dinner was going on lively. Li Jianxun saw Jiang Yinian pouring water for people and didn't eat much.

"Xiao Jiang, put the teapot on the table. We all have hands and feet. Whoever drinks can just pour it. Besides, this is New China. Everyone is equal. We don't do this anymore."

When Jiang Yinian heard what Li Jianxun said, he looked at Director Yang again inquiringly.

"Since Section Chief Li said so, just leave it on the table. Whoever wants to drink it can just pour it themselves."

Director Yang knew what kind of temper Li Jianxun had.

"Well, leaders, I'll trouble you then."

"Oh, no, no, no, Chief Li is absolutely right. Nowadays, everyone is equal, and this kind of thing is not acceptable."

"It is said that Section Chief Li is a returned overseas student. His thinking is advanced. We should learn more from Section Chief Li in the future."

The other leaders started to flatter him again.

Jiang Yinian looked at Li Jianxun gratefully and sat down.

As a new-age woman, she naturally dislikes this, but how can one person resist the feudal tide?

The dinner party gradually became lively again, and the topic of conversation gradually shifted from delicious food to work.

Everyone in the factory had their mouths drooling after this meal, and some workers were reluctant to wipe their mouths.

Chapter 85: The National Important Tool, Oxygen Top-Bottom Blowing Steelmaking Process

During the lunch break, Li Jianxun sorted out the oxygen top and bottom blowing converter steelmaking method in the office. This is the modern new steelmaking method rewarded by the Laoliu system. His next step is to build a new steelmaking furnace.

The oxygen top and bottom blown converter has three major advantages that are far beyond the reach of current steelmaking furnaces.

First, high temperature combustion.
