At this time, Silly Zhu didn't notice the conspiracy between the two people at all.
Silly Zhu was in Li Donglai's office, admiring the radio he had just made.
"Brother Donglai, why is your radio so small?" Silly Zhu fiddled with the radio, always feeling that something was wrong.
Silly Zhu had seen Liu Haizhong's radio, which was like a wooden box and very heavy.
The radio made by Li Donglai is only slightly smaller than a book and is also very light.
Silly Zhu put the radio on the back and saw that there were no wires. He was surprised and said: "Brother Donglai, your laboratory has spent so much effort to produce it. It is a defective product. You see, there are no wires.
Why are you listening to the radio!"
In Silly Zhu's impression, the radio must be plugged in before it can be listened to.
Li Donglai smiled and took the radio from Sha Zhu's hand, and gently pressed the button, and a passionate and generous voice came from the radio.
Silly Zhu was dumbfounded when he heard this. He couldn't help but gasped and said, "Brother Donglai, is there a ghost?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't be afraid. The education class in charge of ideological work in our factory will deal with you if they hear what you say!"
Hearing Li Donglai's words, Shazhu realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. He smiled quickly and said, "Brother Donglai, don't I understand this? How can your radio make sound if there is no electricity!"
Li Donglai turned out the back of the radio and pointed to a cover: "Did you see it? There is a battery inside."
Seeing the battery inside, Shazhu was stunned: "Brother Donglai, this thing actually uses batteries. Isn't it just like an ordinary flashlight? How can it save so much power!"
In this era, the tube radio needed to be plugged in for use, so it was considered a household appliance and required the same monthly fees as a light bulb.
If you use batteries, you will save a lot of electricity bills.
"Of course, this is a newly designed and researched radio. Whether it is the principle or the internal structure, it is completely different from the old-fashioned radios!"
Hearing this, Shazhu couldn't help but take the radio from Li Donglai's hand.
He turned the knob up and down and discovered to his surprise that the sensitivity of this radio was much higher than that of Liu Haizhong's radio.
Silly Zhu was also lucky enough to use Liu Haizhong's radio, but his radio could only receive two stations.
As for Li Donglai's radio, he could receive four or five radio stations just by fiddling with it.
And the sound is very clear.
The more Silly Zhu played with it, the more he liked it. He looked at Li Donglai and hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Brother Donglai, how much does it cost to buy a radio like this?"
"The price is not expensive, you can buy it for only 80 yuan!"
Eighty yuan is equivalent to three months' salary of an average worker. If we look at it in future generations, it will definitely be a sky-high price.
But you have to know that the price of tube radios in this era was one hundred and forty yuan per unit.
In comparison, transistor radios are much cheaper.
"What about industrial votes? How many industrial votes are needed?"
Silly Zhu is now considered a successful person.
After saving a lot of money, when he heard the price of eighty yuan, he suddenly became interested and continued to ask.
Li Donglai said with a smile: "Because the transistor radio is a new product and the production is limited, it cannot be purchased with industrial tickets for the time being. Instead, the corresponding transistor radio tickets are needed to purchase."
As a developer and manufacturer of transistor radios, Li Donglai also hopes that consumers can buy radios smoothly.
but.
Comrades in the ministry felt that without any restrictions, radios would be in short supply.
Adverse reactions may occur, so special tickets are required.
Hearing this silly Zhu look around and see no one around him, he lowers his voice and says: "Brother Donglai, you are the director of the laboratory. You should have a radio ticket, right?"
"You kid, your guess is really accurate!" Li Donglai opened the drawer, took out a radio ticket from the drawer, and handed it to Shazhu.
Silly Zhu was very happy when he received it, because with the radio ticket, he could buy a transistor radio.
But Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Brother Donglai, you won't make a mistake because of this matter, right? If that's the case, I won't want this radio ticket."
Li Donglai waved his hand and said: "Si Zhu, don't worry. According to regulations, the researchers in our laboratory will distribute two radio tickets to each person, so it is absolutely not against the rules, so you can accept it with confidence!"
Silly Zhu knew the value of this radio ticket very well. He gritted his teeth and nodded solemnly and said: "Brother Donglai, thank you so much. Don't worry, whatever you want to do in the future, as long as I can do it, you can just say nothing.
, I will never refuse!”
"That's a big mistake!" Li Donglai said with a smile: "Silly Zhu, actually I came to you today because I really need your help with something."
When Shazhu heard this, he stood up and patted his chest and said, "Brother Donglai, don't worry. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Li Donglai said with a smile: "That's right, a friend of mine is getting married on the weekend of next week, so I want to invite you to a banquet."
Li Donglai's so-called friend was naturally Team Liu.
That's right, after Team Liu's unremitting efforts, Researcher Wang finally accepted his proposal, and the two of them will form a happy family.
Because Team Liu is an outsider and the only one left in the family, Researcher Wang is also an introvert and doesn't have many friends. According to their ideas, they don't plan to hold a wedding banquet.
Li Donglai felt that he could take this opportunity to let the researchers in the laboratory relax.
That's why the two of them were asked to hold a wedding banquet.
Now there is no shortage of anything in the laboratory of Zhejiang Steel Plant. There are special supply channels for materials and all kinds of meat and vegetables are available.
The only thing missing is a good cook.
When Sha Zhu heard this, he looked a little hesitant.
"Brother Donglai, next weekend I will..." Shazhu said halfway and couldn't say any more.
Because he felt that Li Donglai simply refused to ask him to do something, and now he asked him to cook, and he refused. It was really disrespectful.
Not to mention that Sha Zhu felt sorry, even if Yu Juhua knew about this matter, she would deal with him.
Seeing Si Zhu's hesitant look, Li Donglai asked.
"Silly Zhu, are you busy with something? If so, I'll find another cook. I heard that Nan Yi is starting to make extra money now."
Hearing Li Donglai's invitation to Nanyi, Shazhu couldn't sit still anymore. He patted his chest and said, "Brother Donglai, don't worry. I will definitely go to help you cook on time next weekend. Don't look at that Nanyi guy."
He is the heir to the palace cuisine, but his skills are very poor, and he can’t even compare to me!”
Just kidding, Nan Yi is now Shazhu's biggest competitor.
If Nan Yi is allowed to fawn over Li Dong Lai, maybe if something good happens to Li Dong Lai in the future, he will only think about Nan Yi and not Si Zhu at all.
As for the director of the lumber factory, Sha Zhu also came up with a good idea, which was to let his apprentice Ma Hua cook.
In the past two years, Shazhu has also abandoned his previous practice and never taught his two apprentices anything like before.
He and Fatty's cooking skills have also gradually improved. Although they are not as good as Silly Zhu, they are not far behind.
"Since you agree, Silly Zhu, I will arrange the manpower and ingredients, and then you can go directly to the cooking."
Although Li Donglai felt that Shazhu seemed a little strange, he didn't think about it carefully.
After Silly Zhu left Li Donglai's office, he returned to the cafeteria humming a ditty with his hands behind his back.
Now the rolling mill laboratory is the largest laboratory in the country.
With the rolling mill laboratory as a backer, this banquet must be sumptuous.
As a chef, if Shazhu performs well, he might be able to amaze everyone with his skills.
By then, Shazhu's reputation will have expanded a lot.
Ma Hua and Fatty were busy in the canteen at this time. When they saw Silly Zhu walking in, they went up to meet him.
Ma Hua smiled and said, "Master, what's the good thing? Tell us what makes you happy, so we can be happy too."
The fat man also said: "Master, has someone asked you to cook again?"
Fatty is a very thoughtful person, and he has always been envious of Silly Zhu's ability to make extra money cooking.
It's just that Fatty's skills are not up to par, and he is Sha Zhu's apprentice. If Sha Zhu doesn't allow him to cook, then he can't do it.
Silly Zhu laughed twice and said: "It is indeed a great event, do you know?
Director Li Donglai of the steel rolling mill laboratory invited me to prepare a banquet for an employee of their laboratory.
Those are employees in the laboratory of the steel rolling mill, and the ingredients will definitely be plentiful by then, and I, Silly Zhu, will finally be able to show off my skills."
When the fat man heard this, his eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Master, are you going to cook the food next weekend? In that case, wouldn't you have no way to go to the director of the lumber factory to cook?"
Silly Zhu nodded and said: "That's true, but I have already thought about letting MCA do the cooking for me!
"
Fatty seemed a little unhappy when he heard that Silly Zhu chose MCA instead of himself.
In his opinion, MCA is stupid and cannot take on this important responsibility.
It’s just that the fat man still has to rely on Sha Zhu to teach him the skills of a chef, so he doesn’t dare to get angry with Sha Zhu.
The fat man took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Master, you may also know that my life has been very difficult recently. Why don't you leave the cooking to me this time? Don't worry, I will work hard and come up with it."
I will do my best and I will never let you down or embarrass you."
Silly Zhu seemed a little unhappy when he heard this. He knew Fatty very well.
In fact, Fatty's family conditions are much better than Silly Zhu's. The reason why Fatty said his financial conditions are not good is because he recently made a girlfriend.
The fat man's girlfriend is Zhang Lan, a temporary worker at the city's supply and marketing cooperative. The girl's salary is not high, only ten yuan a month, but she is very good at spending money.
Fatty now has a salary of more than 40 yuan per month. As soon as the salary is paid, Zhang Lan will borrow it under various excuses.
The fat man was penniless, but fortunately he worked in the canteen, otherwise he would have starved to death.
But even so, it still couldn't satisfy Zhang Lan. Fatty had to borrow a lot of money from MCA every month.
After Sha Zhu learned about this situation, he felt that Fatty seemed to be his old self, so he reminded Fatty several times to let Fatty break off the relationship with Zhang Lan.
But Fatty thought Silly Zhu was jealous that he could find such a good-looking girlfriend.
He ignored Sha Zhu at all and even complained about Sha Zhu in his heart.
So when he heard that Fatty was going to help others cook on his behalf, Shazhu frowned.
"Fat man, the director of the lumber factory is a picky person. Your current cooking skills are simply not up to standard. If you make the director of the lumber factory angry, not only will you not get paid, but you will also be punished."
Silly Zhu has been a chef for so many years and knows it very well.
Some chefs who are just cheating are often kicked out by their owners. Not only do they not make any money, they are also beaten up.
Silly Zhu considered that Fatty was his apprentice, so he reminded Fatty out of kindness.
But Fatty felt that Master Shazhu was discriminating against him and looking down on him.
But he didn't say it in front of Silly Zhu.
Silly Zhu then looked at Ma Hua and said: "Ma Hua, I have given this task to you, can you complete it?
"
With Ma Hua's current technical level, there is no problem at all in cooking, but he still has some concerns.
Ma Hua looked at Fatty and then at Silly Zhu and said: "Master, why don't you let Fatty go? Fatty is really short of money. We are brothers, I should help him!"
Silly Zhu looked at Ma Hua and felt a sigh of relief.
To be precise, MCA is Fatty's younger brother. Fatty should take care of MCA, but now MCA is always thinking about Fatty.
No wonder Li Donglai told him that Ma Hua was a good apprentice and asked Li Donglai not to let Ma Hua down.
It's just that this matter is related to his Shazhu's face, and Shazhu cannot let MCA do whatever he wants.
Silly Zhu waved his hand and said: "It's not that I don't choose Fatty MCA, but his skills are not up to par. This matter has been decided. Wait until the weekend when you go to the lumber factory director's house to cook. Now I will hand over the address."
for you!.
"
Silly Zhu wrote a note and handed it to Ma Hua. The fat man's eyes turned red when he looked at it. He felt that the master was too partial. He was obviously Ma Hua's senior brother and he should be the one to cook instead.
Let MCA do the cooking.
Last time he saw Ma Hua going into the small warehouse to work, he followed him with a flick of his eyes.
Entering the warehouse, Fatty saw Ma Hua washing vegetables. He quickly went up and said, "Junior brother, you have worked hard. I will help you wash vegetables today."
As he spoke, the fat man grabbed the sink and started working.
In the past, in the canteen of the steel rolling mill, Ma Huagan or the fat man would be lazy around. Now seeing the fat man like this, Ma Hua felt a little strange.
He squatted next to the fat man: "Senior brother, I don't need it anymore. I can just wash these dishes myself. You should take a rest quickly!"
The fat man waved his hand towards Ma Hua and said, "Looking at what you said, I am a senior brother and you are a junior brother. I should help you as a matter of course."
