"No one can stop time! So whoever can't keep up with the development of the times will be eliminated." Jiang Shiyue looked back without dodging.
"The Qing Dynasty fell because it was stuck in its ways. This is 1978, not 1968. The college entrance exam, which had been suspended for ten years, has been reinstated. Our country has established diplomatic relations with the United States, and 52 government-funded students have already gone abroad. Do you still want to live in the past?"
When our leaders visited foreign countries, they found that televisions and refrigerators had become daily necessities while we had not even the widespread use of electricity.
my country's southernmost regions are already experimenting with new economic systems, and relevant policies will soon be released. Many professions currently considered the best may gradually become obsolete. Some careers considered inferior may become increasingly popular in the future.
Those workwear styles you're criticizing might just be tomorrow's trends.
Of course, you don’t think so. So you are the first group to be eliminated under the economic reform system! ”
Parted on bad terms.
Although many young workers in the factory thought Jiang Shiyue was right, they also felt that the work clothes she modified were very fashionable and beautiful.
But in 1978, the main factory also emphasized seniority, and young people had little say.
Just as Qiao Zhen threw down a sentence "You overestimate your own abilities!" and turned to leave, the two girls who were eager to try also hurriedly followed her, just because Qiao Zhen was their master.
Director Chen was in a dilemma and slapped his thigh anxiously, "What should I do?"
Jiang Shiyue comforted him instead, "Director Chen, don't worry! I promised to help you sell the clothes, and I will definitely be able to sell them."
Director Chen looked worriedly at Jiang Shiyue walking away with Yangyang, not understanding where her confidence came from.
Could she alter her own clothes?
Jiang Shiyue doesn't know how to alter her clothes, but she understands human nature very well and plans to learn how to fish from Jiang Taigong.
After returning to the factory guesthouse, Jiang Shiyue did nothing but spend time with Yangyang.
Yangyang is different from ordinary children and is not interested in parent-child games.
Jiang Shiyue tried for a while and found that his biggest interest was mathematics, so he taught him some math.
Yangyang's ability to accept mathematics is even better than that of many adults. He has a photographic memory and can apply what he has learned to other situations, so he learns very quickly.
It's only been a month and simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are no longer difficult for him.
Jiang Shiyue thought about it and began to teach Yangyang geometry and algebra.
She is not a professional teacher and she does not have a systematic teaching material. She just talks about whatever comes to her mind, hammering here and there, but Yangyang still listens with great interest.
Unfortunately, Jiang Shiyue had returned most of the things to the teacher, and there was not much he could say in such a hurry.
Just like when we were young, everyone would recite a lot of Tang and Song poems, but when we actually graduated from college and started working, how many of them could we still recite?
The only thing to be thankful for is that Yangyang is young and like a blank sheet of paper, so Jiang Shiyue can just give him the half bottle of water he wants.
After mathematics, we teach physics, and after physics, we teach chemistry.
Yangyang was like a small sponge, quickly absorbing what Jiang Shiyue taught him.
Jiang Shiyue was tired from teaching, so she assigned some homework to Yangyang and ran to the side to fan herself.
It's already hot in midsummer, and the chirping of cicadas outside the window makes one even more restless.
Jiang Shiyue wished it had air conditioning and a refrigerator.
Even an electric fan would be fine.
Air conditioning is not realistic at the moment, and even if Jiang Shiyue can afford it, she can't use it.
At present, electricity supply to urban residents is still unstable, with power outages occurring every now and then. In rural areas, most areas still have no electricity.
We do have electric fans, and they cost about the same as bicycles.
Jiang Shiyue counted his small stash of money. He'd sold 121 yuan on the black market the previous time, plus the remaining 282.16 yuan, for a total of 403.16 yuan.
I spent 28.10 yuan on daily necessities, stationery, and bus fare these days, leaving me with 375.15 yuan.
This amount of money should be enough to buy an electric fan from Mr. Qiao Si, but after buying the fan, he would basically be bankrupt again.
This money is too hard to earn, Jiang Shiyue is reluctant to spend it.
What should I do then?
Jiang Shiyue walked around the room twice with a paper fan in hand and snapped his fingers, "Got it!"
This made Yangyang look up at her, with disapproval written in his eyes.
Jiang Shiyue sat opposite Yangyang, forcibly holding his little hand, staring at Yangyang with bright eyes.
Yangyang, who is usually calm, obviously dodged for the first time.
Jiang Shiyue was of course unwilling to let Yangyang leave. "Yangyang, you are so smart. Can I teach you something else?"
Yangyang didn't say anything.
"Let me ask you, do you know how the ancients made ice without refrigerators? And how did those high-ranking officials and nobles enjoy cold drinks and air conditioning in the summer?"
Yangyang had no expression on his face.
"The first option is, of course, to dig a very deep underground cellar and insulate it. Store the ice in the cellar during the winter and use it next summer. This method is of no use to us."
Yangyang stopped pulling his hand back and looked back at Jiang Shiyue.
“The second way is to make ice using chemicals.
Do you know saltpeter? It's one of the raw materials for making gunpowder. Of course, we can't touch gunpowder, but we need saltpeter to dissolve it and make ice.
The main raw material of saltpeter is potassium nitrate, which generates a lot of heat when dissolved in water. This causes the water to cool to its freezing point, which is how we make ice.
There was obviously some confusion on Yangyang's little face.
Jiang Shiyue spread her hands and said, "Even if you have questions, I can't answer them. To tell you the truth, I learned this by watching a palace drama.
Palace fighting is when a group of women living in the imperial palace scheme against each other for a man, and the consequences can range from being beaten to death.
