Chapter 10, the heart is like a knife to accountant Zhao
They don't care how long the water pump can last. They only care about whether there is water in the fields, whether the summer harvest will be affected, and how much food they can get for their work points.
So after cheering for a while, they were driven by Zhang Daniu to do other work.
For example, repairing some small ditches that are somewhat blocked, etc.
But Fang Xiaoyue was different from them. She still stood by the water pump nervously.
Although he is very satisfied with his work.
But without tools to measure the bearing data, he was not very sure about how long the bearing could last.
He even relied on the bonus of his alertness expertise to listen intently to any movement in the water pump.
It was not until two hours later that the water pump was still working normally that he was completely relieved.
Since there is no problem after running for two hours continuously, there should be no problem if it is run for longer.
Well, even he had to admit that if it weren't for the bonus of item manufacturing expertise, after installing the bearings he made, the water pump would burn out due to excessive friction and heat in less than half an hour of operation.
In my own world, such a problem would naturally not arise.
But here, I only have a file, a hand hammer, a vernier caliper, a drilling tool and a few temporarily found sandpapers, and I have done my best.
In any case, being able to repair the water pump by himself not only gave Zhang Daniu a great face, but also further enhanced his prestige in Forsythia Village.
At least for a long period of time afterwards, those villagers were not dissatisfied with themselves because of the ten work points.
It can be said that Fang Xiaoyue is no longer the fifteen-year-old young boy in Forsythia Village, but a capable person with a high status and superb skills.
As for those educated youths who were somewhat dissatisfied with Fang Xiaoyue, from that day on, they did not dare to show disdain when they saw Fang Xiaoyue, but instead looked like they wanted to please him.
After entering early summer, time flies quickly.
Fang Xiaoyue now has an extremely fulfilling schedule every day.
In addition to squatting in the yard of the thatched house to repair the farm tools sent by his own brigade and other brigade, he needs to go to the repair point in the town every once in a while to keep in touch with Huang Lao Yao.
He thought of this when he was repairing the water pump.
No way, if you want to be a good technical person, you don’t just need technology.
You also need materials and tools!
Take the water pump as an example. If it weren't for the lack of materials and tools at that time, why would Fang Xiaoyue have rebuilt the two bearings?
Because of this, even though the two bearings are affected by the specialty of the manufactured items, they can barely be used.
But when the drought passed and the two water pumps were taken back by the authorities, Fang Xiaoyue took them apart and looked at them. He found that the two bearings were already overwhelmed. If they were used for a few more days, they would probably break again.
In short, Huang Lao Yao can get some help here, not only borrow some tools, but also buy some things through Huang Lao Yao's relationship.
That's right, although Fang Xiaoyue has no money now, she is already preparing for the future.
In this small world where everything is planned and arranged, there is no relationship with the supply and marketing cooperative. Let alone Fang Xiaoyue, even if the captain Zhang Daniu comes forward, it is impossible to buy what he needs.
Of course, in addition to contacting the youngest Huang, Fang Xiaoyue also did not leave Cheng Dashui behind. When going to the repair station, she would get in front of Cheng Dashui from time to time and observe the process of the other party repairing wooden farm tools.
It won't be long before the summer harvest is coming.
As the team leader, Zhang Daniu’s most important job in Forsythia Village is spring plowing, summer harvest, autumn planting and autumn harvest.
Food is the most important thing for people.
Therefore, before the summer harvest, Zhang Daniu held a mobilization meeting for the summer harvest in Forsythia Village. Not only were people from every household present, but even the dozen or so educated youths were not left behind.
Fang Xiaoyue is about to turn 16, and can barely be considered a half-strong labor force in the countryside, so she will definitely not be able to escape the busyness of the summer harvest.
But he had no initiative to participate in the summer harvest labor. Instead, he approached Zhang Daniu after the mobilization meeting.
"What? Are you applying not to participate in the summer harvest?"
Zhang Daniu couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard Fang Xiaoyue's intention.
In his impression, Fang Xiaoyue is not a sneaky person. She performed very well in the past. What's wrong now?
Could it be that after working as a repairman for a long time, it has swelled or floated?
Seeing Zhang Daniu's exaggerated expression, Fang Xiaoyue knew that the team leader had misunderstood, and smiled bitterly: "Uncle, I'm not lazy. I applied not to participate in the summer harvest, but in order for our eighth team to complete the summer harvest faster."
Now this kid not only cheats and cheats, but also learns to quibble?
"Then tell me, what important work do you want to do?" Zhang Daniu has the aura to punish you if you can't explain the reason.
But Fang Xiaoyue calmly stated her plan.
He had actually been planning this plan for quite some time.
However, I was afraid that Zhang Daniu would not support me before, but now that the summer harvest is coming, it is much easier to gain his support.
He is going to make a human harvester!
Well, although human harvesters were not very popular in Fang Xiaoyue's world, there were many civil servants in their world.
Especially those people who have some spare money and time, and have not had the opportunity to pursue their own interests before, spend a lot of energy, time and money on this kind of things.
In addition, some remote areas, mountainous areas and other places with inconvenient transportation do need this thing.
Therefore, the small factory where Fang Xiaoyue works has to take a lot of such orders before the busy season.
The only difference is that the human harvesters made by Fang Xiaoyue's small factory are all made of steel, while the human harvester Fang Xiaoyue is going to make here is mostly made of wood, with only the harvesting gears, transmission devices, etc. made of iron.
After listening to Fang Xiaoyue's explanation, Zhang Daniu looked at him strangely.
Fang Xiaoyue thought there was something wrong with her, and when the other party suspected that she was not Zhang Fugui, Zhang Daniu slapped him hard on the shoulder: "Good boy! Sure enough, I didn't make a mistake! Okay! That's all.
It’s decided, whatever you need, the brigade will give you full support!”
When it comes to the big pot meal of work points, it is quite delicious for every household, but for the team leader Zhang Daniu, it is a bit unfriendly.
We all know that the disadvantage of working in a big pot is that it is difficult to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for work. Anyway, it is the same whether you work more or less. As long as you are not absent, adult men can't escape 8-10 work points a day and adult women 5-6 work points a day.
.
In this way, during the busy farming season, spring plowing is better. Everyone knows that failure to plant the seedlings will affect the year's harvest. However, in a busier season like summer harvest, even if Zhang Daniu strictly supervises on-site every day, everyone will work hard.
The movements are slow, just like a group of lazy people who can't be whipped with a whip.
Therefore, Zhang Daniu was naturally delighted to hear about machines like human harvesters that could greatly improve labor efficiency.
Soon, brigade accountant Zhao Xiangdong, clerk Zhang Jianxin, livestock herder Liu Sanmu and others were called over by Zhang Daniu. After a small meeting, everyone got on the bullock cart and drove towards Bencao Town.
Zhao Xiangdong sat on the bullock cart and touched the cloth in his arms with some pain from time to time. It contained half of the collective working capital of the Eighth Brigade, 150 yuan!
Don't underestimate this 150 yuan.
It is no longer easy to secretly save 300 yuan when the Eighth Brigade has so many outstanding debts.
In this way, when 1 yuan can buy ten pounds of rice and one pound of fat, and the minimum living expenses for urban residents is 8-10 yuan a month, money is really valuable.
When he thought that the 150 yuan would probably be squandered by Zhang Fugui, a bastard like him, Zhao Xiangdong felt the pain of having his flesh ripped out of him.
Zhang Daniu, on the other hand, looked a little nervous and uneasy. Although he believed Fang Xiaoyue's words on the surface, in fact, he did not have high hopes for Fang Xiaoyue's ability to build the human harvester he said. He just wanted to
Just give it a try.
As for what the consequences would be if he failed, he didn't dare to think about it.
The group of people took an ox cart and hurried to Bencao Town.
When he arrived in town, Zhang Daniu gritted his teeth and bought a pack of 2.6 cents swimming brand cigarettes.
You know, although Zhang Daniu likes to smoke, he doesn't usually smoke.
These days, I don’t have enough to eat, and I don’t have enough money to smoke. Even if I buy cigarettes occasionally, I’m always looking at Goldfish cigarettes that cost 8 cents a pack.
Swimming brand cigarettes like 2 Mao 6 have a nickname, they are called cadre cigarettes.
As the name suggests, only cadres can afford to smoke.
After entering the repair station, cigarettes naturally opened the way.
After taking the cigarette from Zhang Daniu, both Huang Lao Yao and Cheng Dashui were a little surprised.
When did this big guy get rich? He could actually afford swimming cards?!
But when Zhang Daniu said what he wanted to say, the two of them, Huang Lao and Yao, immediately understood.
This is really like going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing.
No wonder this stingy Zhang is willing to spend a lot of money.
"Okay, I'll put aside my old face and talk to the director, but you also know that now there is a shortage of materials. Without industrial tickets, even if you have money, you can't buy things. The price may be a little more expensive."
Huang Laoyao nodded after understanding and whispered.
Zhang Daniu also knows that these days, it is good to be able to buy things, but it is absolutely impossible to ask the supply and marketing cooperative to reduce prices.
Let's put it this way, as for the pack of swimming cards, it would have been impossible to buy it without the cigarette ticket that Zhang Daniu had saved before.
The youngest Huang then asked Fang Xiaoyue what he wanted to purchase.
Fang Xiaoyue had sorted out the shopping list in her head early, borrowed a piece of scrap paper from Huang Lao Yao, and started writing it.
