If you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries.
Cao Xiu thought for a long time and finally decided on popcorn. Not only could it be eaten as a snack by people, but it could also earn him money.
Low input and high output, suitable for all ages.
The main reason is that the old-fashioned popcorn machines had already been developed abroad in this era, and their improvements were not noticeable.
Yu Weimin first tortured several mechanical experts in the team. After all, wasting talent is still useful, and it is better than having it idle.
He then went to the Yangqian City First Machinery Factory and tortured Sun Qiangshan several times. After all, he had someone to hold over him, so he always succeeded.
After a few days of tinkering, the improved version of the Cannon hand-crank popcorn machine was finally born.
Look, the machinery factory even sent a technician to deliver it.
The young technician greeted him, "Director Yu, you have a really good relationship with our Factory Director Sun. The raw materials for this machine were all paid for by Director Sun himself, and he didn't take advantage of the factory at all. He even personally ran around for this matter."
Yu Weimin laughed: "We have a good relationship. We are good friends. We will definitely be together for decades!"
He thought so, but he was afraid that this confession would be useless by then!!!
The young technician also laughed. See, my guess was definitely correct.
"Director Yu, I'll leave this thing here for you. I'll be leaving first."
"Thank you for your hard work. Go back, go back."
Cao Xiu had already started cleaning the machine inside and out: "Old Yu, go get some wood. We'll try to make a pot of fried rice later."
Cao Xiu and Yu Weimin fiddled with it for a while. After all, although they knew the principle of this thing, it was their first time operating it.
First pour a bowl of corn into the popcorn machine and lock the machine.
Place on a rack and heat while turning the popcorn maker continuously. Wait until the pressure gauge reaches 10 atmospheres.
Aim at the special cloth bag to open the pot, and with a bang, the popcorn will come out of the oven.
The earth-shaking sound really scared Pan Yongming and others who had just arrived at Yu Weimin's door!
Then Cao Xiu's excited voice came from the yard: "It worked, it worked! It's just that the sound is too loud. I have to plug my ears next time."
Yu Weimin grabbed a handful of popcorn and handed it to his wife: "Hurry up and try it. The old corn I grow myself is still the best. It pops crispy and fragrant."
Cao Xiu: "Oh, I forgot to put sugar in it. I'll make a pot of rice later and put more sugar in it to sweeten the children's mouths."
Yu Weimin: "This machine is said to be able to fry any kind of grain. I'll try it on all kinds of grains later."
The two were talking animatedly when Pan Yongming and others entered the yard.
Pan Yongming asked, "What happened? What was that bang just now? It was like an explosion."
Yu Weimin exclaimed in surprise, "County Magistrate Pan! Secretary Zhou! Member Yang! Director Xiao! Why are you here?"
Zhou Xuefeng looked at Yu Weimin with a somewhat blaming look in his eyes and said, "What? You don't want us to come? Do you feel good about keeping us in the dark?"
Yu Weimin: "Where did I get this from? You've come just in time. My wife just invented some popcorn. Try it!"
The cloth bag was full of popcorn. Cao Xiu took out a large basket and poured all the popcorn into it. The rich and refreshing aroma reached the noses of several people.
Seeing so many white and plump popcorns, Pan Yongming and his friends didn't hesitate and each grabbed a handful to taste it.
Yang Jijun: "Delicious! Is this popcorn made from corn? How can a single grain of corn expand so much? How is this machine so amazing?"
Xiao Gang: "This thing is quite filling."
Yu Weimin asked, "County Magistrate Pan, what are you doing here?"
Pan Yongming finished the popcorn in his hand before saying, "We came here mainly because we heard that Xiangyang Commune is developing well, so we came to inspect it."
"Now it seems that every time you report your work, there's a lot of water in it!"
Yu Weimin...
Who spread such gossip?
Xianyu’s life is so wonderful, he hasn’t had enough of the leisurely life of fishing and picking fruits, he wants to be beautiful alone!
He tried to convince her, "There's nothing special about us. We're pretty much the same as other communes."
Pan Yongming and the others looked at Yu Weimin deeply and stopped dwelling on the topic. Instead, they asked about the village's education problems.
"Now that all the educated youth have gone to the countryside, how come there are schools in the villages?"
Yu Weimin said: "The educated youth have knowledge, and after receiving further education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, they also learned how to farm."
"But the villagers still only know how to farm, and they also want to make progress. What should we do?"
"We can't just move to the city! So I came up with this idea: move the school to the village. This will not only help the villagers improve, but also keep their farm work going. Kill two birds with one stone!"
Pan Yongming and his friends… you can do it, you can argue! Moreover, doing so really seems to be within the policy.
We can't send these villagers who are attending classes to the countryside, right? They are already in the countryside, so where else can they go?
Then he asked, "What about those people who were relocated to other places?"
Yu Weimin explained, "If we have a school, we can't have no teachers, right? Who will be the teacher? Would you be happy with someone who's not as good as you?"
"Our village operates on the principle of fairness and justice. As for teachers, whoever knows the most gets the job. After searching the entire village, it's clear that these relocated households have won."
“Even the educated youth from the village now come to attend the lectures, and no one refuses to obey.”
Pan Yongming and the others… They certainly knew that some of the relocated people had real abilities, but they were originally relocated. It was Yu Weimin, for example, who had such a unique way of doing things.
Well, they listened to the class themselves and can’t say anything bad about it!
