Chapter 425: The Framework is Complete
Zhou Yimin smiled and said, "It's far away in the horizon and yet it's right in front of us."
Engineers Kong and Zhou were both shocked, but thinking of Zhou Yimin's strength, they didn't say much and just gave him a thumbs up.
Director Liao saw that Zhou Yimin had impressed Engineers Kong and Zhou, and he had nothing to do next, and there were many other things to do in the workshop, so he left.
Engineer Kong said directly: "Section Chief Zhou, Lao Zhou and I will make a sample first. You take a look. If there is no problem, we will add other things."
Zhou Yimin had no objection and nodded directly.
Engineers Kong and Zhou didn't waste any time and went straight to the workbench, picked up the things on the table, and made them according to the dimensions on Zhou Yimin's design drawing.
The suitcase was not very big, and with such a precise design drawing, it didn't take long before a suitcase made entirely of steel was made.
As soon as Zhou Yimin picked it up, he felt that the suitcase was too heavy: "Mr. Kong, do you have any lighter materials? This suitcase is too heavy and does not meet the requirements."
You have to know that suitcases are designed to be used by people traveling, they are light and fast. A suitcase alone is so heavy, not to mention that it will be even heavier after putting luggage inside.
It is difficult for a woman to carry this kind of weight.
After hearing this, Engineers Kong and Zhou thought about it for a while, then picked up other materials and assembled them again.
Suitcases were soon made using new materials.
After Zhou Yimin tried it, he found that it still didn't work: "This material is not good. It's not hard enough. I'll change it."
With just a little force, the suitcase could no longer hold up and cracks appeared.
However, each suitcase produced could never meet Zhou Yimin's stringent standards.
Then we made many more samples, but none of them was qualified.
Either the wheels are not flexible or they fall off easily.
This time our products will face picky foreign merchants, so if any problems are found, they must be improved. Otherwise, it will be a disgrace to our motherland, and this is absolutely not allowed.
Engineers Kong and Zhou understood the importance of this, so they didn't say much and immediately devoted their full attention to making the suitcases.
After several hours of hard work, they finally made a suitcase frame that satisfied Zhou Yimin. The next step was to seek help from Director Hu.
"Engineer Kong and Engineer Zhou, you guys take a break first. I'll go find Director Hu."
Engineers Kong and Zhou nodded weakly, finally getting a break.
I haven't experienced this kind of tiring for a long time. I didn't expect that such a simple-looking suitcase would be so difficult to sit in!
After Zhou Yimin left the workshop, he immediately went to Director Hu's office.
Knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Zhou Yimin then pushed the door open and walked in.
When Director Hu saw that it was Zhou Yimin, he immediately asked, "Yimin, is there any problem with the production of the suitcase?"
This is a big deal in the factory, and no problems can occur.
Zhou Yimin replied: "Nothing went wrong. The frame of the suitcase has been completed, but the factory doesn't have the materials needed next."
"Director Hu, you need to apply for it."
Zhou Yimin's words immediately put Director Hu at ease.
"Okay, I'll apply now."
He didn't expect the progress to be so fast. The framework was completed in less than a day, and the following work was not difficult.
I immediately called my superiors to report the good news.
Sure enough, after just one phone call, everything Zhou Yimin needed on the paper was ready.
"Yimin, the materials you need will be delivered tomorrow."
It’s getting late now, and it’s almost time to get off work. It definitely can’t be delivered. After all, the allocation takes time.
Zhou Yimin nodded to show that he understood, and then went back to talk to Kong Gong and the others so that they wouldn't have to wait there after get off work.
Then he drove a motorcycle to Sheungshui Village to deliver the money.
After arriving at Shangshui Village, I saw Village Chief Wang from a distance and he came over to say hello.
No matter what Village Chief Wang heard, he knew who was coming. In the nearby villages, apart from Zhou Yimin, no one else could drive a motorcycle, not even a bicycle.
"Village Chief Wang, please count. This money is from selling chickens. It's 2.30 yuan per chicken."
Village chief Wang took it and counted it in front of Zhou Yimin. In order to make sure he had not made any mistakes, he counted it twice and found that he had not made any mistakes.
"Yimin, let's have dinner at my house tonight!"
After all, Zhou Yimin has helped the village so much, but it seems that he has never been treated to a meal. This is a bit unreasonable.
Zhou Yimin originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the enthusiasm of Village Chief Wang, he couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
"Okay! Then I'll trouble Village Chief Wang."
In order to entertain Zhou Yimin, Village Chief Wang went straight to the chicken coop. Although he was a little reluctant, he thought it would definitely do no harm to establish a good relationship with Zhou Yimin.
There is not much food left in the village, and once it is almost consumed, we have to buy food from Zhou Yimin.
Village chief Wang looked through the chickens and finally selected a rooster with shiny feathers and a strong body.
He skillfully reached out and grabbed the chicken's wings and legs, holding it firmly. Although the chicken struggled hard, it could not escape from Village Chief Wang's powerful hands.
When he arrived in the yard, Village Chief Wang put the chicken on the ground and gently stepped on its claws with one foot, making it unable to move.
He picked up a sharp kitchen knife from the chopping board next to him, the blade flashing coldly in the morning light. He held the chicken head with his left hand, stretched the chicken neck, found the right position, and swung the knife quickly with his right hand, a sharp arc passed, and the chicken blood gushed out and fell into the bowl that had been prepared long ago, the chicken blood was bright red and steaming.
The chicken fluttered a few times and then stopped moving. Village Chief Wang threw the chicken into a large iron basin next to him, picked up a pot of boiling water and poured it over the chicken. He then began to pluck the chicken's feathers skillfully. The feathers fell off one after another, and soon the chicken became clean and white. He then used a knife to cut open the chicken's belly, took out the internal organs, cleaned the chicken, and chopped it into even-sized pieces.
On the stove in the kitchen, the iron pan has been heated. Village chief Wang pours in homemade peanut oil. When the oil is hot, he adds onions, ginger and garlic to stir-fry. Then he pours the chicken pieces into the pan and stir-frys continuously. The chicken gradually changes color under the high temperature, making an attractive sizzling sound, and the aroma gradually spreads.
He added various seasonings and continued to stir-fry evenly, then poured in an appropriate amount of water, covered the pot, and let the chicken slowly stew in the pot. As the chicken was stewed over low heat, the aroma of the chicken became more and more intense.
If it were someone else, they would definitely not be so generous. You have to know that it takes a whole year to produce only about one pound of peanut oil, and for this meal, nearly one or two ounces of it would be used.
You can imagine how willing Village Chief Wang is to give up!
