Chapter 52: Lu Chiyu shows his talent for mechanics, He Manman gets mad
It turned out that the military district knew that she was going to the turbine factory to work as a translator, so they agreed with Director Nie to have the military district pick her up and drop her off every day, which would be more convenient.
Brigade Commander Qin even gave her his guards. Brigade Commander Qin also happened to be going to the city today and was also in the car.
Lu Chiyu felt a little uneasy when she heard this. How could she have the right to mobilize the boss's guards, especially when the boss was still in the car.
But she had seen many storms and quickly adjusted her mindset and got in the car.
Brigade Commander Qin sat in the passenger seat very consciously, guard Xiao Zhong drove the car, and Lu Chiyu was the only one in the back seat.
When Lu Chiyu saw this detail, he felt very favorable towards this big boss.
"Xiao Lu, I heard from Xiao Gu that you are severely malnourished and need more rest. Is it still possible for you to go to the city at 8 o'clock every day?" Brigade Commander Qin asked with a smile like a kind elder.
Lu Chiyu hurriedly said, "It's still in time to report to the commander. I went to grab some meat with Sister Hai this morning."
Hearing the word "grab", Brigade Commander Qin became interested: "Then, Xiao Lu, did you grab it?"
"I got it. Sister Hai helped me get it, but there were too many people and many people didn't get it." Lu Chiyu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the many people who returned empty-handed this morning.
Brigade Commander Qin echoed the sentiment: "Pork is indeed in short supply right now, not only for the common people but also for our military region.
The soldiers have no food to eat and cannot keep up with their daily training. It would be great if the pork problem could be solved.
But raising pigs requires food, and now that people have no food to eat, how can we feed the pigs? Pigs without food grow thinner than wolves, so the food shortage is still the problem." He sighed again.
A pig thinner than a wolf, Lu Chiyu almost laughed himself out loud when he imagined that scene.
However, my country was indeed short of food in the 1970s. It could even be said that food shortage was the most serious problem facing the survival of the people across the country. If the food problem could be solved, it would be a contribution to an era.
She couldn't help but say, "It would be great if our grain production could increase rapidly so that people all over the country don't lack food."
When Brigade Commander Qin heard Lu Chiyu's sincere words, he couldn't help but feel touched that Xiao Gu's wife was quite responsible.
But quickly increase grain production so that the whole country will not be short of food. Xiao Gu's wife is dreaming, but he can't laugh at her, so the female comrade casually agreed:
“Yes, if anyone can help our country to have enough food, it will definitely be a great achievement, but it is a long and arduous task.
I've heard that the country is currently vigorously developing the fertilizer industry. If we have enough advanced fertilizers in the future, we might actually be able to solve the food problem."
Lu Chiyu's eyes lit up when he heard this. Yes, the success of crops depends on fertilizer.
According to her understanding of this era, the current domestic fertilizer production technology is not only backward, but also has a large gap. Many production teams cannot obtain chemical fertilizers. If we can work harder on fertilizers, then perhaps our people can really live a life with enough food earlier.
Lu Chiyu thought it would be great if she could create all kinds of fertilizers from later generations. Not only could she allow everyone to eat their fill in advance, but she could also make a contribution. What a wonderful thing that would be.
Unfortunately, she didn't study this in her previous life, and now she can't think of the specific fertilizer production technology even if she racks her brains.
Next, Lu Chiyu and Brigade Commander Qin chatted casually. When they arrived at the turbine factory, Brigade Commander Qin had a certain degree of understanding of Gu Yuan's wife.
She is a very smart girl with a very novel way of thinking and a sense of humor. I didn’t expect that his subordinate who is known as the Cold-Faced Yama would like this!
Lu Chiyu arrived at the turbine factory at exactly half past ten, and their work went very smoothly today.
John was also surprised to find that Lu Chiyu could direct the workers to do their work by looking at the machine's instruction manual without his explanation.
He couldn't help but ask her if she had studied mechanics before. She actually said no, but had only occasionally read some books on the subject. Hearing this, John called her a genius.
So, Lu Chiyu translated to John what he wanted the workers to do, and while John was studying the machine, Lu Chiyu could help him take over some simple operations to guide the workers.
Working in unison, their speed more than doubled than expected.
Seeing this encouraging progress, John said that maybe they could finish this batch of machines in half a month instead of just a month.
Upon hearing the news, the factory was filled with joy. Nie Dahai felt that he no longer felt bad about slaughtering cattle.
While Lu Chiyu and her colleagues were working smoothly, the military district was also very excited because of her.
At noon, a huge letter of praise was posted on the military district’s bulletin board outside the cafeteria.
The content was to praise Lu Chiyu for teaching everyone in the cafeteria to turn waste into treasure without charging any compensation.
The letter mentioned that Lu Chiyu made small seafood with sauce, and also cooked sea urchins, starfish and other seafood that people didn’t eat before.
Even food like durian, which used to be feared by everyone, is now very popular in the cafeteria after being made by her.
Finally, the commendation letter said that Lu Chiyu's actions saved a lot of resources for the military canteen, allowing the soldiers and their families to eat better.
Since she refused to accept any compensation, we posted a letter of praise to commend her spirit of selfless dedication and encourage everyone to learn from her.
When the young soldiers who were watching saw the letter of praise posted, they all applauded spontaneously.
Then the news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Within half an hour, almost the entire military region knew about it.
At that time, He Manman had just returned from school more than ten miles away with back pain. When Wu Juan saw her, she rushed up to her and told her about this.
He Manman was so angry that she screamed, "Impossible! Lu Chiyu couldn't possibly be going to the cafeteria to teach people how to cook. She's there to do manual labor."
She thought Lu Chiyu went to the cafeteria to do the work of an aunt, but now she was told that she had made such a great contribution and the military district praised her with great fanfare. How could she bear this?
He Manman's scream was heard by the military wives around her.
