Zhang Hai was overjoyed to see Wan Feng coming: "Nephew, I have been looking forward to the sun rising from the deep mountains, and now you are finally here."
Wan Feng immediately became depressed: "Uncle Zhang Hai, your choice of words is inappropriate. They are looking forward to the PLA, how can you use it on me?"
"Isn't it hard to express my joy? Alas! You are so peaceful, but I have been so busy these past few days."
"Haha, you think being a reformer is that easy? Not only do you have to be aggressive and forge ahead into areas you've never touched before, but you also have to face pressure from all sides. If you can't handle the pressure, you'll probably be bald in ten years."
"Stop bullshitting! The date for erecting the blast furnace has already been chosen. It's the ninth day. That's a good day for installing machinery and breaking ground."
Wan Feng calculated that today was the 4th, and there were still four full days left.
"But once the furnace is set up, it has to be started. We have the people now, but what are we going to do with it? We can't just run it for nothing. That costs money."
Wan Feng took out his drawings and said, "For now, let's produce a seasonal product that requires little investment, has quick returns, and can be used in rural areas. This will serve as a good start. I've even drawn the product drawings. Take a look."
Zhang Hai looked at the blueprint like a blind man feeling an elephant: "What is this?"
"A portable seed drill weighs about three to five kilograms and can hold about five kilograms of seeds at a time. As long as the ground is prepared, there's no need for a second person. One person can seed about five to six mu of land a day."
"One person can cultivate five or six mu of land in a day?" Zhang Hai was surprised. Take corn planting, for example. Usually, one person digs the trenches and holes, one filters the seeds, and one cultivates the soil. If the process is simplified, filtering the seeds and cultivating the soil can be done by one person. Even so, two people can only cultivate two or three mu of land in a day at most.
In fact, Wan Feng's calculation is still conservative, because in 1981, farmland was still farm manure instead of chemical fertilizers. So this seeder is specifically used for sowing seeds, and even chemical fertilizers do not need to be added, which can save some time on adding fertilizers.
Wan Feng nodded: "I guarantee there won't be much error."
"How much does it cost to make something like this?"
"The cost of making a prototype is high. If we can scale up production, the cost is estimated to be around five yuan. If we can produce all the components ourselves, the cost will be even lower."
"Is there any part in such a small product that we can't produce?"
"Some of these are plastic parts. How do we produce and process plastics?"
"So how much will this product sell for once it's on the market?"
"I'll leave it to you to decide. Give this blueprint to Xiao Dexiang tomorrow and have him study it further. Find a foundry worker to make some small molds to produce the iron parts. If they have connections in plastics, have them find someone to process them. If not, then we'll have to go to the plastics factory at Blue Mountain Farm. Okay, I'm leaving now."
Wan Feng left Zhang Hai's house and came to Luan Feng's house under the cover of night.
The sound of machines clattering came from the workshop of the garment factory.
"You bad guy, you're here. Where have you been these days?" Luan Fengjiao scolded.
"Master, you must interrogate him strictly. He must have had other thoughts." Li Erman was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so she could never be blinded.
From the beginning of school to today, this is the first time Wan Feng has come to Luan Feng's house in four days.
"I'm at school. Why would I have time to come here, Li Erman? I've noticed you always remember to eat but not to be punished."
As he spoke, he glanced around the workshop and unexpectedly discovered many changes.
There are four more apprentices here, in addition to Liang Hua, there are three girls that Wan Feng does not know.
"A new apprentice?"
"My master's relatives were sent here personally by her. They are all from the Sunbaozi area."
There are four sewing machines that are idle now. If these four people become apprentices, the sewing machines will be just right. It seems that we need to buy some more sewing machines.
He didn't go to Zheng Yong to purchase the goods this time, and he didn't know if he could still get the sewing machine?
"My master also bought us two sewing machines. Do you think we should still have them?"
There is such an operation. While I was still worrying about the sewing machine, Yan Shufang got two tickets for me. It was like a timely help.
"Yes! Why not? We need at least 30 machines to be considered adequate."
Wan Feng came to the machines of Jiang Min and her apprentice Gu Qiaoling. Gu Qiaoling's machine was right behind Jiang Min.
"Sister Qiaoling, how are your mother's clothes selling at the market?"
The Daying Market is on the 16th day of the lunar calendar. Three markets have been held since it opened on the 21st day of the first lunar month, with the most recent one being on the 2nd.
"My dad came to pick up the goods yesterday and said we can sell more than ten pieces at each market."
Whether it was clothes or pants, the profit for each piece was between 70 cents and one yuan, so more than ten pieces would make eight or nine yuan. In the market at the British Commune, this sales volume was not really that bad.
If they told others about this income, everyone in the British Commune would be jealous.
"They can also go to other markets to sell clothes, such as Gushan Market and Qingshan Market. Black Lagoon is too far away. If they have any problems at Qingshan Market, they can go to Qi Guangli."
"Okay, I'll tell him when my dad comes back."
Wan Feng didn't stay with Luan Feng for long. He had to go to school during the day and couldn't stay up too long at night.
The problem of the bicycle being deflated was not accidental, because the valve core of his bicycle was missing again on the second day. On the third day, not only was the valve core missing, but a nail was also stuck in the rear tire.
Wan Feng couldn't tolerate this anymore. Once or twice would be enough, but this was not going to end. It seemed like he needed to establish his authority.
March 8th, Women's Day.
This has nothing to do with Wan Feng. Of course, the women's festival has nothing to do with him.
But Liang Hongying found him because during the second break, Liang Hongying's pencil case ran into Wan Feng's desk.
After finishing the morning exercises, Wan Feng returned to the classroom. When he opened his desk, he took out a pencil case that was not his own.
The pencil case has grown legs too?
Just when he was confused, someone saw him.
"Isn't this Liang Hongying's pencil case? Why is it here with you?"
Liang Hongying's seat was in the middle, quite far away from Wan Feng.
So Liang Hongying came to demand an explanation.
"Last time you deliberately bumped into me and I haven't settled the score with you yet, but this time you stole my pencil case. How do you explain that?"
What the hell is the point of explaining? I have a net worth of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, so why would I steal your pencil case?
It's obvious that someone wants to harm me.
"Do you believe me when I tell you that I didn't steal it?" Although Wan Feng didn't want to explain, he still said weakly.
Are the people in this class bored? They even brought out this kind of first-grade game. Is this fun?
