Chapter 25 Taotao finally achieved the freedom to eat meat (2)
It's too loud! It is said that production capacity has been reduced by half! ”
Taotao looked for a while, felt bored, and started walking around.
The machinery factory is quite large, but Taotao managed to visit the entire factory in an hour.
Well, it's pretty boring.
She went to see Song Zhi at least three times, wanting to know when Song Zhi would be done with his work - but it seemed that their discussions were getting more and more heated?
Taotao found a place that looked relatively clean, moved a small stool over, and sat down.
Cheng Zhujun accompanied her.
The location they chose was at the entrance of an office in the factory.
In the office, several people were arguing with each other.
"This word means motor!"
"Nonsense, it means turbofan!"
"Which of you is right?"
"I think Xiao Wang is right!"
"No, it's a turbofan..."
"If you make another mistake, another one will be scrapped!"
Taotao sat at the door of the office, watching the people inside arguing with each other.
Cheng Zhujun explained: "Most of the machines in our factory are made in the Soviet Union. When Soviet experts were stationed in our factory, there were college students who served as translators. Now those experts are gone, and there are only a few people in the factory who can understand Russian manuals. If a machine breaks down, we can only repair it based on our sense!"
Taotao thought for a moment and asked, "Russian?"
——She did know a little Russian. After Song Zhi introduced her to it, she began to read the dictionary by herself. The dictionary records the meanings of many specific words, which is very interesting. Taotao sometimes reads the dictionary as a storybook, which is quite interesting.
Taotao stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
"Taotao, don't go, let's not disturb them..." Cheng Zhujun said hurriedly.
It was too late. Taotao had already run into the office and got into the crowd. She stretched her neck and looked:
——Oh, she actually recognized the sentence in the instruction manual that these people were pointing at!
Tao Tao read the Russian text and then translated, "This sentence means, 'Don't open the hood directly. Repeat the first step, otherwise it will damage the engine.'"
Everyone was stunned.
A middle-aged man in gray overalls asked, "Hey girl, who are you?"
Cheng Zhujun quickly said, "Team Leader Ma! She is Engineer Song's sister!"
"Engineer Song? Is he here today?" asked Team Leader Ma.
Cheng Zhujun nodded.
Team Leader Ma immediately took the instruction manual and hurried out.
Tao Tao followed, "My translation is correct!"
Team leader Ma ignored Bai Taotao and searched around the factory with the manual. He finally caught Song Zhi and asked, "Song Gong, please...how do I read this manual?"
Song Zhi, who was talking to everyone until he was dry-mouthed, was interrupted and turned to look at the instruction manual in Team Leader Ma's hand.
The others around him quit—
"Mr. Horseman, we are busy here!"
"That's right! There has to be a first come first served rule, right?"
"Mr. Song, please ignore him. Let's solve this problem first..."
"Our situation is urgent too!"
Song Zhi stared at the instruction manual and said, "It says in the manual that the hood cannot be opened directly. If you want to open it, you have to repeat the first step first, otherwise it will damage the engine."
Ma Gong was stunned and looked back at Taotao.
Tao Tao was not convinced and shouted, "I already said my translation was correct!"
Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on Taotao.
Song Zhi looked at Taotao and smiled.
He was the one who taught Taotao Russian himself, so of course he knew her level - the little girl was incredibly smart, she had great comprehension and excellent memory, but she lacked some common sense and was indeed very naive in her dealings with people.
Song Zhi spent two or three minutes roughly reading the manual from beginning to end, and then said to Ma Gong: "Don't worry, let her translate it. Although she doesn't understand mechanics, she can understand these Russian words."
Everyone was looking at this young, beautiful and naive girl and wondered why she knew Russian?
Everyone gasped.
Ma Gong quickly led Taotao to his office and said, "Comrade Xiao Song, please come this way..." His tone and attitude became much more respectful.
When Song Zhi heard the name "Comrade Xiao Song", the smile on his face faded and he looked thoughtful.
Taotao followed Ma Gong back to the office and helped translate the entire page of Russian instructions. Ma Gong and his colleagues were so happy that they quickly wrote it all down in Chinese.
Then Ma Gong took out another instruction manual and said, "Comrade Xiao Song, here is another one. Could you please help us translate this one as well?"
Taotao stared at the instruction manual which was obviously more than twice as long as the previous one:! ! !
She rolled her eyes and asked, "Ma Gong, I'm working for you, will I be paid?"
Ma Gong was stunned. "Reward?"
Taotao, "I want to eat braised pork for lunch!"
Ma Gong thought for a while and said, "How about some fried pork slices?" Everyone in the factory eats from a big pot, so it's not easy to prepare a special meal for one person, but he could collect the fried pork slices and give them to the little girl.
"Sure! But I want three!" Taotao raised three fingers and continued to make requests, "I also want three fried eggs! Three servings of orange juice!"
——Yesterday she saw someone selling red orange juice at the bus station, but her mother refused to buy it for her.
Ma Gong thought about it and added a condition, "Okay! But you must include a copy of the instruction manual!" As he said that, he took out another copy from the drawer.
Taotao:! ! !
It turns out that old ginger is still spicy.
However, Taotao, who really wanted to eat meat, nodded.
After finishing translating two long and boring manuals, it was time to get off work at noon. Taotao was already hungry and asked Ma Gong to take her to eat meat.
At this time, Song Zhi finished his work and came to find Taotao.
Engineer Ma stopped Song Zhi and handed him the Russian instruction manual and Taotao's translation.
Song Zhi compared it and said, "The translation is good, I can get 90 points...but you have to pay attention, it is the axle belt, not the wheel belt."
Ma Gong immediately explained, "This is none of Comrade Xiao Song's business. We are used to calling it tires. Comrade Xiao Song has already asked us."
Song Zhi smiled, "That's no problem."
Taotao, "Braised pork!"
Song Zhi was stunned.
Ma Gong laughed, "I've asked my apprentice to go to the canteen to say hello, you guys should go eat quickly! I promise there will be plenty of fried pork slices!"
Cheng Zhujun said to Taotao: "Taotao, I'll take you to the dining hall."
Taotao excitedly pulled Song Zhi to follow.
When they arrived at the canteen, Ma Gong's apprentice had already prepared the meal and enthusiastically called them over to eat.
——Three aluminum lunch boxes were filled with white rice and piled high with fried pork slices, and each aluminum lunch box also contained a golden fried egg! There were also some stir-fried beans and eggplants, as well as three plastic cups filled with red orange juice!
Taotao was very happy.
Because today's meal was earned by her new knowledge!
So Song Zhi is right, knowledge is money!
Taotao happily handed the box with the most rice to Song Zhi, kept the box with the most meat for herself, and handed the remaining box to Cheng Zhujun.
Cheng Zhujun was stunned, "Taotao, is this for me?"
Taotao nodded, picked up a piece of fried pork and ate it, feeling very satisfied!
She turned her head to look at Song Zhi, and when Song Zhi finished eating the fried pork slices...she quickly asked him, "Is it delicious?"
Song Zhi nodded with a smile.
Taotao turned her head again, wanting to ask Cheng Zhujun if the fried pork slices were delicious, but she saw Cheng Zhujun quickly took an empty lunch box and poured all the meat slices in the lunch box into her own empty lunch box?
Facing Taotao's clear and surprised eyes, Cheng Zhujun felt a little embarrassed and whispered, "My brother is not in good health. I will bring it back to him later."
Taotao understood, nodded, and said: "Then you should eat a little too. If you are healthy, your brother will have a secure life." Then she took a gulp and stuffed three slices of fried meat into her mouth at the same time!
Cheng Zhujun was stunned.
After a while, she looked at Taotao, her eyes full of gratitude.
Taotao's mouth was stuffed with fried meat slices, and her cheeks were bulging, like a civet in autumn.
ah! It feels so good to be able to eat meat in big mouthfuls! Moreover, the meat slices have different flavors. Some have a spicy taste, and some have a potato taste... Although the taste is a bit mixed, the meat is chewy and has a strong meat flavor. It is super delicious!
Tao Tao enjoyed it very much and couldn't help asking Song Zhi again, "Is it delicious?"
Song Zhi: ...
He could understand the little girl's excitement at using her newly acquired knowledge to gain the fruits of victory, and he also wanted to guide her, so he smiled and said, "It's delicious."
Taotao was so happy.
Song Zhi struck while the iron was hot, "So Taotao should study harder in the future, not just to eat meat. With knowledge, we can dive into the deep sea, go into space... our goal is the stars and the sea."
Taotao felt that the stars and the sea were too far away and might not be as delicious as the fried pork slices in front of her.
Song Zhi continued, "In 1957, the Soviet Union launched an artificial satellite. In 1961, Soviet astronaut Yuri Gagarin went into space... He saw with his own eyes the huge blue planet suspended in the universe. It was beautiful and shocking."
Tao Tao was stunned, "Someone, really went to heaven?"
Song Zhi, "Taotao, don't you want to see what the Earth we live on looks like? Don't you want to know what the deep sea looks like?"
Taotao thought: Let me fill my stomach first, and then think about those lofty ideals!
She picked up another piece of meat with her chopsticks, stuffed it into her mouth and started eating.
It smells really good.
Taotao was eating happily when suddenly someone walked over quickly, took an empty aluminum lunch box and threw it on the table. There was a loud "bang" and Taotao was startled!
Then, the man said sarcastically: "Hey! Who allowed you to sit here?"
