An old-fashioned sewing machine costs at least 168 yuan per unit at a supply and marketing cooperative, and Rainbow brand ones are even more expensive, costing more than 200 yuan.
This Lotus brand portable sewing machine sold on the black market is only 98 yuan per unit.
Most importantly, the functions of this portable sewing machine are no worse than those of old-fashioned sewing machines, and it is even more convenient.
Wen Wanqin felt that she had made a great profit!
The one in her hand was something she had managed to get with great difficulty.
The person standing next to her only hesitated for a few seconds, and the item was sold out.
Fortunately, she didn't hesitate!
Wen Wanqin knew that her husband Zhang Chaojin had never liked her going to the black market, and she had not originally planned to tell him.
As a result, he boasted too much and let the cat out of the bag.
But this time, Zhang Chaojin didn't say anything, he just confiscated the sewing machine.
Then I didn’t even have dinner and just stayed in the study tinkering with things.
When Wen Wanqin went in to deliver the meal, she found that her newly bought sewing machine had disintegrated.
Just...heartache!
Although their family has no shortage of money, 98 yuan is still money!
The key point is, the guy at the black market said today that this thing is in short supply and we don’t know when it will be available next time!
Zhang Chaojin simply ignored his wife's ugly face, ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and continued to study his sewing machine.
He also thought Wen Wanqin was getting in the way, so he just kicked her out.
Finally, Zhang Chaojin continued studying until twelve o'clock in the evening, until Wen Wanqin came to urge him to rest for the ninth time.
Seeing that his wife was about to get angry, Zhang Chaojin reluctantly put down the sewing machine and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhang Chaojin couldn't even eat breakfast and rushed to work.
Of course, he also took away the portable sewing machine that he had disassembled into parts.
Zhang Chaojin originally wanted to discuss the advanced technology of this portable sewing machine with his old partner Qian Hongwei, but the other party actually took a leave and did not come to work today.
Zhang Chaojin had a lot to say but had no one to talk to. He talked to other people in the courtyard, but felt that they were not hitting the point.
In the end, Zhang Chaojin could only call his student Sheng Huainan.
Zhang Chaojin felt that apart from his old partner Qian Hongwei, only Sheng Huainan could keep up with his thinking.
When the call was first connected, Zhang Chaojin was very excited and talked a lot.
He told Sheng Huainan the results of his hard work for several hours last night.
He also wanted to show off that he had found something good.
As soon as Sheng Huainan heard it, he knew it was the portable sewing machine made by Mai Sui.
So, he was not envious at all.
"Teacher, I already knew what you were talking about. Did you disassemble the sewing machine and then can't put it back together?"
"How do you know?"
"Because I have taken it apart before. Later I asked its inventor, there is a valve that must be opened before taking it apart, otherwise it will become like what you are now, and you can't put it back after taking it apart."
Afterwards, Sheng Huainan explained to Zhang Chaojin the relevant principles of the portable sewing machine.
The difficulties and doubts encountered by Zhang Chaojin were explained clearly at once.
Because Sheng Huainan also had these confusions, he understood Zhang Chaojin!
Now, it was Zhang Chaojin's turn to envy Sheng Huainan.
This is not the end. After talking about sewing machines, Sheng Huainan mentioned Mark's law again.
This time, Zhang Chaojin was completely fascinated!
You know, Zhang Chaojin, Qian Hongwei, and Sheng Huainan are known as the three giants of the Chinese physics community, and they are all top figures.
Just as Zhang Chaojin always felt that the people in their Academy of Sciences (except Qian Hongwei) could not talk to him, Sheng Huainan also felt that the people in their research institute could not keep up with his thinking and pace, except Shen Xingchen.
But Shen Xingchen is a love-brained man. When Mai Sui is at home, he leaves work on time every day and refuses to stay even a minute longer.
Sometimes Sheng Huainan wanted to talk to him for a while, but he couldn't find him!
If anyone else in the research institute dared to treat him like this, Sheng Huainan would have cursed them long ago, but it had to be Shen Xingchen!
His wife is a wheat ear, so he can't make any comments! He doesn't dare to make any comments!
Just then, Zhang Chaojin called. Sheng Huainan finally had someone he could talk to, so he couldn't help but say a little more.
There are also different levels between geniuses.
It is really a great fortune to meet a genius who shares the same frequency with you.
So, the call lasted for more than three hours.
Zhang Chaojin was completely obsessed and wished he could chat with Sheng Huainan for another three days and three nights.
No, not with Sheng Huainan, but with Mai Sui, the discoverer of Mark's law!
Zhang Chaojin believed that they could definitely talk about more!
So, after hanging up the phone, Zhang Chaojin became more and more itchy and finally decided to go on a business trip to the Southeast Military Region Research Institute.
But what Zhang Chaojin didn't know was that while he was heading south, Mai Sui was taking a train north.
Zhang Chaojin's trip was destined to be in vain.
The wheat ears’ destination in the north is the capital city.
Because of her outstanding performance, Zhao Weiguo recommended her to study at the Army Headquarters in Beijing for half a year.
After graduating from this kind of training, you will definitely be promoted.
Mai Sui is now the company commander. Logically, she should be promoted to deputy battalion commander next, but Zhao Weiguo directly crossed out the word "deputy" for her.
This was also what Zhao Weiguo promised at the beginning. Otherwise, Mai Sui would not have stayed in the Guangfu Military Region for two months.
Mai Sui was away for half a year, and Shen Xingchen was reluctant to let her go, so he took a special leave to see her off and took Mai Sui back to her uncle's house to get acquainted with the family.
If you encounter any problems in the capital, you can find someone to help you.
As for Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai, they did not go with them.
Lotus brand sewing machines have become extremely popular across the country, and Mai Laosan is now extremely busy.
Mai Hongcai had to prepare to sign up for the army and had no time.
...........
It takes three days and two nights to travel from Xiangxi to Beijing by train, assuming the train is not delayed. If it is delayed, the time will be uncertain.
Mai Sui had a letter of introduction from the army, so he bought a soft sleeper.
Shen Xingchen shamelessly asked Sheng Huainan for a special pass and bought a soft sleeper.
Soft sleeper compartments usually accommodate four people.
When Mai Sui and the others went over, one of them was already there.
Suyang Station (the station where Mai Sui boarded the train) is not the starting station of this train. Judging from the other party's condition, he should have boarded the train a few days earlier.
Coincidentally, the other person was also wearing a military uniform.
Like Mai Sui, Mu Qingshan also went to the Army Headquarters for further studies.
It’s just that the two of them come from different military regions.
Mu Qingshan is 22 years old this year, 185cm tall, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, sunny and handsome. At first glance, he looks like a man full of sense of justice.
He joined the army at the age of sixteen and his current rank is deputy battalion commander.
A deputy battalion commander of this age can definitely be described as young and promising, not to mention that he is about to be promoted to full battalion commander.
Of course, Mu Qingshan definitely can't compare with Mai Sui.
No one can compare to the wheat ears.
