Chapter 597: Do it well
After getting Zhao Jie's address, Zhou Ziwen left Niushan Village and rushed all the way to the county town.
Zhou Ziwen doesn't like to procrastinate. If there is something that can be done, he will do it on the spot.
It took Zhou Ziwen half an hour to reach the county town.
After asking a few passers-by, I finally found the place.
The factory where Zhao Jie works is not big, with only two or three hundred people.
The layout of the factory is no different from those old factories in later generations. The only difference may be that it is older.
"Comrade, what are you doing here? This is a machinery factory. If you have nothing to do, please leave immediately."
As soon as he reached the door, Zhou Ziwen was stopped by the uncle guarding the door.
"Uncle, I need help. I'm looking for someone named Zhao Jie, from Workshop 1."
Zhou Ziwen spoke hurriedly and handed over a cigarette while speaking.
"Are you looking for Master Zhao? Wait, I'll go call someone for you."
Handsome people easily gain people's favor, regardless of gender.
Seeing such a handsome guy handing him a cigarette, the security guard liked him more and agreed to help him call for help.
"Thank you, uncle."
Zhou Ziwen hurriedly thanked him.
"It's okay, just wait a moment!"
The security guard nodded, then handed the door-watching task to another uncle in the security room, and he went to help Zhou Ziwen call someone.
The gatekeeper was quite efficient and soon came out with a man about thirty years old.
"Who are you?"
Zhao Jie came to Zhou Ziwen and looked at him with some confusion.
He searched his memory but had no impression of the handsome young man in front of him.
"Hello, Brother Zhao. I'm a health worker in Dabazi Village. Uncle Zhao told me you work here."
Zhou Ziwen introduced his identity.
"So you are Medical Officer Zhou. I didn't expect you to be so young."
After hearing Zhou Ziwen's introduction, Zhao Jie suddenly understood and a smile appeared on his face.
No matter where you are, the profession of doctor is very popular.
After all, people are born, grow old, get sick and die, and you never know when they will ask you to come to your house.
"Brother Zhao, I'm actually here to ask for your help."
Zhou Ziwen spoke straight to the point.
"What is it? Tell me."
Zhao Jie did not hesitate.
If it's not too much trouble, he will definitely help. If he can't help, he won't agree to it casually.
"Brother Zhao, take a look at this. I want to make a water pressure well. It's quite simple."
Zhou Ziwen handed over the schematic diagram that he had prepared long ago.
He took the time to draw this diagram before he came. He just drew a rough outline and marked a few simple dimensions.
He had learned this in his previous life, so drawing was quite easy for him.
"You want to make this thing?"
Zhao Jie took it and looked at it. Hmm, it’s quite simple.
He is a regular worker in the factory and has been welding for more than ten years. Any apprentice can do what Zhou Ziwen wants to do.
"Yes, that's it. Just one is enough."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"We can do this, but the materials are a bit troublesome..."
Zhao Jie spoke.
"Brother Zhao, you're a professional in this field, so you must be familiar with these things. It's okay if you help me out and spend a little more money."
Zhou Ziwen said hurriedly.
"That's easy. You can make this with some scraps. Do you want to wait for me to finish it, or come pick it up tomorrow?"
When Zhao Jie heard that Zhou Ziwen was willing to give money, he stopped being so reserved.
It’s not that he is greedy for money, it’s mainly because the factory has its own rules.
Just like he said, for Zhou Ziwen, all we need is some scraps.
But the scraps are also from the factory. If outsiders want them, they have to have connections.
He has connections in this regard, but he certainly can't pay for it himself!
"Thank you, Brother Zhao. If it's quick, I'll wait outside."
Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen's face lit up with joy.
He also knew that what he wanted to make was quite simple, and if he could take it back today, he wouldn't have to make another trip.
"It'll be done quickly, in about an hour. If you're not busy, you can go for a walk outside. I'll leave the stuff in the security room later, and you can just go get it."
Zhao Jie spoke.
"Okay, Brother Zhao, how much does this cost? I'll give it to you right now."
Even brothers settle accounts openly, and Zhou Ziwen was not embarrassed when talking about money.
"Just give me five dollars. You know, the materials are from the factory. We can't get them without money."
Zhao Jie began to explain.
"I know. I'm sorry to trouble you, Brother Zhao. I'll treat you to a drink when we return to the village."
As he spoke, Zhou Ziwen took out the money from his pocket, counted it and handed it over.
Zhao Jie didn't hesitate and took it.
Then, the two chatted for a few more words, and then Zhao Jie went back to help him make the water well pressure device.
Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Ziwen decided to take a walk around the county town.
Before leaving, he gave cigarettes to the uncle guarding the gate and chatted with him for a few minutes before leaving.
Although Zhao Jie had already made it clear with them, the more courtesy the better, so it was just a matter of handing them a few more cigarettes.
After leaving the machinery factory, Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle to the county town.
There was nothing much to see in the county town at that time, so he bought two pancakes on the street. After eating, he went to Xinhua Bookstore and picked and chose books to read.
When reading, he mainly reads books on professional skills.
For example, grass carp farming, sow postpartum care, and he even found a book on earthworm farming.
Zhou Ziwen accepts everything and buys whatever he finds interesting, planning to take a closer look at it later when he gets home.
For him, no skill is too many.
No matter what skill it is, he wants to learn it. Even if he doesn't master it, he wants to at least understand it.
With the auto-play panel at hand, he would feel sorry for himself if he didn't learn more.
As the saying goes, every profession has its own top talent. Anyway, he only needs to collect the relevant knowledge and leave the improvement to the idle panel.
This feeling of being able to improve just by lying down is so boring and unpretentious.
Time always passes quickly when reading seriously. Zhou Ziwen only felt that a while had passed, but when he came to his senses, it was already twelve o'clock.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Ziwen took the books he had selected to the counter to pay, and then left the bookstore with the books.
Although he could buy it for free in the bookstore, there was no need to.
After all, knowledge is priceless. It’s enough to spend so much time in the bookstore for free. You can buy the rest and read them slowly. It doesn’t cost much anyway.
After leaving the bookstore, he went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
It was still a big bowl of shredded pork noodles with some pickled cabbage in it. The bowl of noodles was big and round. Even with Zhou Ziwen's appetite, he felt 80% full after finishing it.
After coming out of the state-owned hotel, Zhou Ziwen went straight to the machinery factory without delay.
"Young man, Master Zhao has already made what you asked for. Take a look, is this it?"
When they arrived at the security room, the uncle inside was eating. When he saw Zhou Ziwen coming, he took out the things Zhao Jie had prepared.
"Yes, that's it."
Looking at the familiar water pressure well, Zhou Ziwen's face lit up with joy.
