Seeing the new immigrants arriving and pressurizing the steam tractor, Feng Ping showed a wicked smile on his face and pulled the whistle casually.
"beep……"
The deafening whistle sounded through the sky, and the immigrants who had just arrived in the fields were immediately startled. Before they could recover, they were shocked.
The next moment, the steam tractor started moving.
"Oh, my mother..."
In an instant, Liu San was so frightened that he sat on the ground and said in shock.
"This, what kind of monster is this...it, it's moving..."
"Oh, here comes my god..."
Frightened shouts rang out in the fields, and some people were so frightened that they turned around and ran back, for fear that the fire-breathing thing would "eat" them.
"This this……"
Opening his eyes, Li Lin stood there, looking at it eagerly.
He didn't know what it was, but it was definitely not a monster - there was a person standing on top of the monster, and the person was wearing something a little weird.
In fact, people here in Nanhua wear something a little weird - pullovers.
This kind of pullover, to put it bluntly, is a polo shirt with two pockets on the chest. The reason why it was chosen as "uniform clothing" is entirely to reduce costs. Nanhua does not have its own clothing factory, so all clothing can only be purchased from outside. In order to reduce procurement
In order to reduce the cost, Zhu Xianhai deliberately chose a pullover, which is somewhat similar to a polo shirt. This long-sleeved shirt was very popular as soon as it was launched.
The pullover is easy to wear and has strong weather adaptability. When it is hot, you can roll up the sleeves to become short-sleeved. When it is cold, button it up and it becomes a thin jacket. So, the earthy gray pullover and trousers became
The biggest difference between first-generation immigrants and new immigrants.
However, Li Lin must not know that with the arrival of immigrants, after the clothing factory is put into production, they will definitely put on this "weird" pullover. This is the case for men, and the same is true for women. The difference is that women's trousers will
Turn into a long skirt.
Single style?
For the early immigrants who were "a blue road to open up the mountains and forests", they had no power at all, and no extra money to pursue beauty in clothing.
Simple, durable and cheap is the way to go. Even for his pants, Zhu Xianhai directly chose overalls made of thick canvas.
Simplicity and durability are the last words.
"Everyone was so scared that they peed!"
Feng Ping, wearing overalls and goggles, laughed.
"This is called a steam tractor, you call it a fire plow..."
While speaking, he sounded the whistle again. Looking at the frightened faces of everyone, Feng Ping's face was full of pride.
In fact, from the day he became a tractor driver, he was like a boy who got a new toy, eager to show off his toy to others, and now the arrival of new immigrants finally allowed him to see the opportunity.
"Fire Plow!"
Eyes wide open in astonishment, Li Lin had been a little distracted all morning. He would always cast his gaze on the big machine that was spitting out smoke and flames and plowing through the fields at high speeds.
machine!
Is this a machine?
Like many people, Li Lin's first "Era Shock Wave" started from the "Fire Plow". It was at this moment that he seemed to understand something after being frightened.
Understand what the power of machines is!
For newly arrived immigrants, Nanhua has too many new things that shock them too much.
This kind of impact and shock is inevitable.
After all, for new immigrants, whether it is a horse-drawn harvester or a steam tractor, they are entering another world - a world of industrial civilization.
Even until that night, when everything was over and on the way back to the dormitory, Li Lin's mind was still filled with the scene of the roaring plows plowing open the earth.
That unprecedented power deeply shocked him, and also subverted his understanding.
"Why can a fire plow move as long as there is water and coal?"
"Why is it that with steam, it can produce the power equivalent to dozens of cows?"
There are too many questions in Li Lin's mind. Of course, no one can answer him right now, but what is certain is that today's scene left a very deep impression on everyone's heart. That night,
During the meal, almost everyone was talking about "Fire Plow" and "Steam Engine".
One thing that is certain is that after the initial shock, many people are more curious, but only a very few people are wondering why.
Of course, not everyone will consider these issues. For Li Weimin, ever since he arrived in Nanhua, he has only had one thought in his mind - what is this place?
Although he still hasn't figured out what kind of place this is, as a businessman, he never thought that he would farm, and what's more, he farmed dry land.
He is from Ningbo, and even though he is farming, it is still paddy fields.
"Oh, I'm so exhausted."
After dinner, Li Weimin, who was as tired as a dog, lay down on the bed, but as soon as he could catch his breath, his thoughts started to come alive.
"Weimin, what are you thinking about?"
Looking at Li Weimin's appearance, Kang Ming asked.
"We can't go on like this any longer."
"What's the meaning?"
"I have to go to the Red Mansion!"
Sitting up suddenly, Li Weimin said seriously.
"I have to go talk to the owner. With my talents, Li Weimin, I can never be buried in the fields."
The red building is the headquarters of America Company. Although the red brick building is not high, it is also the most eye-catching building in Nanhua.
"Well……"
Looking at Li Weimin's appearance, Kang Ming asked.
"For the people, do you have a reputation?"
"No!"
"Are you a scholar?"
"no."
"Then why do you say you have talent?"
Kang Ming sneered.
"this……"
Li Weimin retorted.
"This is not the Qing Dynasty. Even if it is not a place for people to be elected, what about scholars? Besides..."
Looking at Kang Ming, Li Weimin asked.
"Is Brother Mingli just willing to be buried here?"
The question was pushed back, Kang Ming was stunned for a while, and then said.
"I just want to live with my family and live peacefully."
Because the dormitory area is separated for men and women, he can only live with his wife and daughter. However, he also sees hope - three months later, they will leave the camp and those with families can live with their families.
Together.
"Hey, you..."
Li Weimin said with a long sigh.
"You have a wife and daughter, but I am alone. I can't just live like this. I have to find an opportunity to show my face in front of my boss..."
Looking at Li Xinmin's appearance, Tang Ming sighed.
"For the people, as a human being, we still have to take it step by step. After all, this person is unfamiliar with the place. Don't rush into anything, and be more practical!"
