Yi Chuanzong was standing in front of an oval silver workpiece and constantly measuring it. This was already the third time he had taken measurements.
This entire set of "explosion-proof" devices was very difficult all the way from the early design, to the later processing of each workpiece, to the complete assembly, and it took nearly more than a month to finally complete.
"Ah! It's finally done."
With a sigh, Yi Chuanzong felt a little sad in his heart. He somewhat underestimated his uncle.
He thought he would be much faster than the uncle, but the old fitter designed the work very quickly, and was nearly a week faster than him at first.
Fortunately, there are not many parts that are processed by machine, but there are more workpieces that are processed by hand, and he can make the workpieces by hand much faster.
For nearly a month, he did not dare to relax for a moment, and finally completed the overtake in the last few days. It would take another two days for the uncle to complete the processing.
Yi Chuanzong walked out of the workshop easily and came to an office next to the corridor. He opened the door and walked in directly.
In the office, a middle-aged man wearing blue work clothes raised his head when he heard the sound. When he saw Yi Chuanzong, a smile appeared on his face, "Master Yi, have you finished the work?"
Yi Chuanzong smiled slightly and said with some sigh: "It's done. This mission is not easy."
The smile on Director Dong's face was also very warm, "The leaders above value you. If only the engine parts were used, your design would be much faster."
Yi Chuanzong nodded. He actually didn't spend a lot of time on the simpler engine at the back. After all, one was researching explosives and the other was researching kerosene. He didn't have to choose this issue at all.
This task is not a simple production task at all, the most important thing is the design, so starting it is just a matter of making random changes that don't look pleasing to the eye.
As a master with advanced benchwork skills, he is not the kind of hands-on worker of later generations. He has very high levels of design, drawing, and craftsmanship, and he has mastered the machining properties of various metal materials.
After acquiring the skills of an engineer, he also supplemented his knowledge of some principles. He performed data calculations more slowly and struggled to calculate, which made his designs more accurate. The mechanical changes were very
many.
Both sets of equipment are his hard work. Except for the three days of vacation that he should have had, all his time was used to produce these two things.
Yi Chuanzong speculated that if they pass the final test, these two sets of equipment will be used as templates to eliminate size effects and eventually go into mass production.
"Director Dong, you can now put the workpieces I produced into the warehouse."
"Okay, let's go there right away!"
Several apprentices were recruited to transfer the two sets of workpieces designed by Yi Chuanzong to the warehouse. They would then be inspected by personnel from the technical department, and the design drawings were also included. More than a month of work came to a perfect end.
By this time, Yi Chuanzong had a lot of leisure time.
On the way, he came to the workshop where Mr. Yi worked and had a look.
In the workshop, a man is doing the final assembly work. After the workpiece assembly is completed, correction, measurement and other work will be carried out, which will take another two days.
Yi Chuanzong stood at the door for a while and then left, riding his bicycle leisurely to the workshop door.
Two members of the security department stood on both sides of the gate. When they saw Yi Chuanzong walking out on his bicycle, they greeted him warmly.
"Master Yi, why are you leaving so late today?"
Yi Chuanzong smiled slightly. This was completely ironic. It was only around three o'clock in the afternoon, and he was at least two and a half hours ahead of the workers in the factory.
But this irony is not meant to hurt anyone. People here always speak with a bit of ridicule, and that's just what you're used to hearing.
"Everyone leaves early these days, but no one is working in the workshop."
The guard in the security department laughed and said, "If masters like you don't work, then there will be no one in our factory."
Yi Chuanzong nodded and pointed forward, "Let's go. I'm finally done with my work. I still have something to do."
"Okay, please walk slowly."
Seeing Yi Chuanzong leave, the guard who had been silent just now said sarcastically to the other side: "The master chef in this factory is really awesome. He leaves before the time is up, but no one dares to say so."
The guard who greeted Yi Chuanzong just now waved his hand, "You still want to take care of me? With their skills, as long as the work is done, they are the only ones who can say anything about others. Who can say anything more? Usually the machinery in the factory is broken.
They are all repaired by others, so our factory can rely on these machines."
The guard opposite curled his lips, "Other masters are indeed very powerful, but he is a young man in his twenties, and I haven't seen him create anything."
Another guard stretched out his hand and made a slapping motion, "Xiao Liu, don't get into trouble with your mouth. Our director of the Security Department has no control over this person. The leaders above are watching over your work, so you are of use here."
Are you nagging?" He changed the topic and said, "Besides, if you become a senior fitter at such a young age, it is important to be appointed by someone above. If you challenge others, will they pay attention to you?"
The guard opposite sneered and said nothing. The normal technical test lasted three days. This man had risen to level three in three days. People who had never seen him on the spot thought there was something going on.
Leaving the factory slowly, Yi Chuanzong's riding speed increased a lot.
This person feels happy only when he makes comparisons. Everyone in the factory is working hard. When he finishes his work and leaves early, he feels happy, so he rides slower in the factory.
After leaving the factory, he began to hurry on his way. After all, he was really poor now and was anxious to change some money to spend. He had no money in hand and was nervous about daily consumption.
Today is April 5th, and eight days have passed. There have been no good days these days, and I can't move to a new house until the 8th.
In eight days, I received almost 80 yuan in relief funds, and adding the 40 yuan I had before, it was only 120 yuan.
One hundred and twenty yuan sounds like a lot, but before I had more than a thousand yuan in my hand, the difference was ten times the difference between now and then.
In the past, that was called being wealthy. If you had money in your hands, you could do whatever you wanted.
For someone with his appetite, it costs about 100 yuan now, and it would cost half of it to treat a friend to a meal, and he can't even afford a bicycle.
He doesn't think about how rich he is, but if he has to think carefully about buying anything, it means he is still poor.
All the way to Hua Niao Shang Fourth Street, he was quite familiar with this place. He had been here not once or twice. He parked his bicycle at the entrance of Juchangyuan and walked straight in.
The home bird inside was in pretty good health. As soon as Yi Chuanzong entered the door, he saw him standing in the same place calculating accounts. He still had the black round hat on his head and a cardigan on his upper body. He looked very clean and tidy.
.
The lower body could not be seen, but Yi Chuanzong knew that he was wearing super fat wide trousers underneath, and a pair of old cloth shoes under his feet. The shoes were basically blocking the way. This hometown sparrow has always been dressed like this.
Likewise, his attitude was as bad as ever. After hearing the footsteps, the old man didn't pay attention at all. Except for the few days of the temple fair, the waiters were rarely seen in the store.
Yi Chuanzong was familiar with me, so he always said, "Store manager, why don't you treat your old friend well when he comes?"
The bird from home tilted his head when he heard the sound, and without even raising his eyelids he shouted angrily: "Xiao Chen, see you off!"
Yi Chuanzong grinned and was kicked out when he entered. Wasn't it because he didn't buy it after negotiating the price last time?
But he can't be fooled!
Last time, this hometown bird sold him a porcelain jar for 500 yuan. In the end, Lou Xiaoe chopped it down again and again until it got to 20 yuan, but she didn't buy it...
Xiao Chen over there is more energetic, has short hair, and is dressed in youth clothes. Even if he is doing some rough work, he is dressed more neatly.
He didn't have as bad an attitude as his hometown bird. Although he was shocked for the first time, he made money at least. Of course he was happy to make money.
Although it didn't sell the second time, it wasn't him who recommended it that time. The store manager was the one who talked about it the whole time. He brought an expert over, so it was normal not to buy it.
Having learned the lesson from last time, Xiao Chen asked enthusiastically: "Sir, do you want to buy something this time? Or do you want to sell something?"
Yi Chuanzong pondered slightly, and then said: "I have something I want you to estimate. If you can tell me the truth, I will sell something by the way."
When Xiao Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. The man in front of him was a rich man. It would be blind to treat this man as an ordinary worker.
The last time I brought three small goldfish, I was not so solemn. Now I am just asking for the price with this expression. Is it a big deal?
"Sir, what do you want to estimate? I will give you a good look!"
Yi Chuanzong glanced down and saw that this guy was quite attentive, but unfortunately...
"It's not that I'm being mysterious. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on to what I have this time. I think the shopkeeper is still busy, so I might as well forget it this time."
After finishing speaking, Yi Chuanzong sighed and turned around to leave.
This shows that the little guy is stunned for a while, is there a treasure?
He's not even qualified to watch?
Isn’t this too disrespectful?
You can't be a master if you take a man as your assistant!
He is able to work here at such a young age because he grew up in this shop since he was a child. Even though the shopkeeper keeps calling him Xiao Chen, in fact, the shopkeeper is his grandfather!
He was stunned here, but the shopkeeper over there was not stunned.
He didn't take it seriously before, but he listened with open ears, for no other reason than that Yi Chuanzong was rich!
Now that Yi Chuanzong is acting so solemnly, he obviously has brought a big deal!
As for whether to sell it or not?
When you come here, you must have the idea of selling it. Whether it sells or not depends on whether the price is right!
If he doesn't even look at this big thing, he won't be able to sleep for several days.
If he couldn't collect this large amount of goods, he would have trouble sleeping for half a month.
When Yi Chuanzong was about to leave, the store manager had already walked out from behind the counter, and then ran over with his trouser legs in one hand.
“Sir, wait a moment, friend, wait a moment and go!”
Yi Chuanzong naturally ignored him, he was here to give money, but he naturally had to deal with the shopkeeper's attitude.
Waiting until his sleeves were caught, Yi Chuanzong stopped and said with a sudden look on his face: "Hey, shopkeeper, are you done?"
The smile on the bird's face could reach two levels, "Haha, I'm done with my work. I'm done with my work. I didn't expect that we are acquaintances. Otherwise, because of our friendship, I decided to come over to entertain you first."
Yi Chuanzong also had a smile on his face, and the gold could be sold at a good price this time.
"Shopkeeper, let's sit down and chat?"
The shopkeeper quickly extended his hand and said, "Come on, please come in. We definitely want to have a good chat."
Yi Chuanzong followed him in with a smile, and then the two sat facing each other from the south to the north.
The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Xiao Chen, what are you doing standing around here and not making tea for the guest?" He turned around and a smile appeared on his face again, "You haven't been here for a few months. What have you been busy with recently?
Woolen cloth?"
Yi Chuanzong was not in a hurry and said casually: "It was tested in the factory and there has been some progress."
The store manager narrowed his eyes. Originally, this person was a level 4 fitter, but now he is level 5?
"Your body is suitable for this job. Not all the masters in the factory are here!"
Yi Chuanzong pondered for three seconds and said: "I am indeed considered a master of the factory now. The work in the factory is quite difficult. I have been busy for a month and now I have time to get off work early and come to your place to sit down."
The store manager was stunned on the spot, good guy, he was just being polite, what a master is a fifth-level fitter, he just said something nice, and the other person turned his nose up and didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Getting off work early? Is this a question that ordinary workers dare to think about?
However, the serious look on the opposite person's face didn't seem like a joke. To be called a master, he must be a level six fitter, and he is forty or almost fifty years old.
His voice was much lower, "Are you testing Level 6 fitter?"
Yi Chuanzong looked regretful and said: "That's not true."
The store manager breathed a sigh of relief and said, although he doesn't like the technical aspect, he can't underestimate his ability.
The stone carving master he is currently working with is between level seven and level eight in terms of technical level, and is not as glorious as a fitter.
Yi Chuanzong continued, "There is no promotion quota in the factory. I passed the assessment as an eighth-level fitter and can only be a seventh-level worker. But it's not bad. I can get another ten yuan when my salary is paid.
Oil, grain, meat, and tickets are considered subsidies."
The shopkeeper was stunned on the spot.
The waiter pouring water over there made a tinkling sound.
The shopkeeper came to his senses in an instant and scolded him, "Xiao Chen, if you break one of them in a hurry, you won't be able to get your salary for the past two months!"
"Ah, okay, yes!"
Xiao Chen picked up the teapot in a panic, and couldn't help but be shocked. Such a young seventh-level fitter earned a salary of eighty-four and a half yuan.
And what about those subsidies? Just a dozen yuan of subsidies for oil, grain, meat, and tickets? Everyone’s quota for these things is fixed. This is clearly a modified form of welfare in the factory.
When he turned around, the shopkeeper was already smiling, and he smelled the smell of money.
"It's true that one day is like three autumns. Brother Yi is really talented. He can reach this stage at this age. It will be easy for him to make a difference in the factory in the future."
Yi Chuanzong smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
What the other party meant was that after working in the factory for a long time, it would be natural for him to become a leader.
It is true that many people do this. Some masters already have prestige. After working for a long time, it is normal for them to become leaders.
However, after the transfer, the salary will be reduced accordingly.
As a leader, as long as he is not greedy, he will make relatively little money.
Being a leader is not easy, how easy can it be to manage people? Serving the people is a difficult job.
He can get paid for his honest work, so why be a leader? It takes a lot of effort, he wears a mask in front of everyone, and he is tired from talking on weekdays.
If he could reach the level of chief engineer, in an area like Forty-Nine City, his monthly salary would be one hundred and eighty yuan, which is only twenty yuan less than the boss (because of three years of famine and nuclear weapons, the salary
Taking the initiative to halve it, it could have been four hundred)
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, the shopkeeper stopped talking about the topic. Xiao Chen came up with a teapot at this time, so he simply picked up the water and poured it.
Yi Chuanzong gently pressed the table with half-clenched fists to express his gratitude.
