Scholars in the courtyard

Soon, the news that Shazhu reported a crime spread in the courtyard.

The people in the courtyard didn't say much about the fact that Silly Zhu stepped on Liu Guangqi to get up.

Not only did Liu Guangqi deserve to be punished, he would not let anyone off the hook as an enemy of the people.

However, no one was too happy about Silly Zhu, a fool.

Most people have an indifferent attitude.

Of course, some people feel uncomfortable listening to it.

backyard
Xu Damao sat in front of the stove, cracking melon seeds in his hand, his face gloomy.

"Damn stupid Zhu, he's so damn lucky that he can get into this kind of thing, damn it!"

"Liu Guangqi is also a bastard. If I had known if he was this guy, I would have reported him. He might be able to go back to the machine factory and continue working as a projectionist!"

Thinking of the benefits that Silly Zhu got, Xu Damao felt a toothache.

Rivals always know each other best.

For Shazhu, the salary in the factory is really nothing.

As long as you have skills, just like him, it doesn't matter if you have the identity of a projectionist or not.

Anyway, you can earn more with your skills.

So when Silly Zhu comes back, he can take on private jobs, make money, and be in a good position.

"asshole!"

patter
He smashed the melon seed peels on his pants, then turned around and shouted to Qin Jingru, "I said you usually ask around in the courtyard. Didn't you notice this Liu Guangqi?"

Qin Jingru was digesting the news of Sha Zhu's return, and the past events were brought back to her mind again.

Although Xu Damao took a lot of medicine this time, the effect was not good.

It cannot be said that it is not possible. The increase from 3 minutes to 7 or [-] minutes seems to have doubled.

But to her, it makes no difference.

In this state, do you want a child?

How difficult it is!

But what should I do if I can’t conceive a child?
It wasn't that she was afraid that Xu Damao would divorce her, because she had already proven that she could give birth.

What she fears is that if she continues like this, she will have no one to take care of her when she gets old. Just look at the aunt in the courtyard and you will know that without her wife, she will not even have anyone to take care of her. How pitiful!

If I get old, I will be like Damao, forget it!

Just thinking about what happened next, she suddenly heard Xu Damao shouting, and Qin Jingru suddenly raised her head, "How do I know? If he was so easy to be discovered, someone in the courtyard would have reported it, and what about Silly Zhu?"

Rolling her eyes at Xu Damao, Qin Jingru got off the bed and approached the stove.

"makes sense!"

Xu Damao responded, but then he remembered something and snorted coldly, "Don't think that everything will be fine when you come back. I haven't taken action yet!"

Qin Jingru looked at Xu Damao, grabbed the melon seeds and reminded her kindly, "If you want to make trouble, don't get yourself involved."

"Now, the people in this courtyard are very smart!"

Hearing this, Xu Damao nodded, feeling even more cautious.

Big Mom's house.

The aunt looked at Silly Zhu busying up and down proudly, with a smile on her lips.

Now that Shazhu's family is gone, this is his home.

"Pillar!"

"Auntie, what do you want to say?"

"It's okay, aunt will clean up the back room tomorrow, and we will live here when we come back, ahem..."

Silly Zhu put down the shovel, "Auntie, this can't be done, me!"

"Just live outside. You still live in the back room. It's convenient for me to come in and out! I won't disturb your rest if I come back late!"

Aunt Ma didn't say much after hearing this, as long as Shazhu agreed to stay at home.

As for coveting his house or something, what's the point?

When the old couple is gone, won’t the house be left to someone else?
Rather than taking advantage of outsiders, it would be better to leave it to Silly Zhu.

It also gave him a place to stay.

Silly Zhu agreed, and the eldest mother felt better and looked better.

"Zhuzi, aunt wants to ask you something!"

"Can you and Qin Huairu still be together?"

Silly Zhu lowered his head after hearing this. He also knew that he was lucky enough to benefit the most from hosting Liu Guangqi this time.

He also knew that Qin Huairu was implicated this time, but he had no regrets.

If he chooses again, he will report it.

Not for anything else, just for the change now.

"Let's do it!"

Silly Zhu said lightly.

It's not that Shazhu can see things through, but it's a foregone conclusion that Qin Huairu has misbehaved in this matter after the police confirmed it.

He Yuzhu is called Silly Zhu, but he is not really stupid.

What does it mean to behave inappropriately? There must be involvement and collusion.

As for how far, he didn't want to know.

Every time he thought of this, Shazhu felt aggrieved.

The goddess that I have longed for in my heart has always been regarded as a holy existence, but I didn't expect that behind my back, she was behaving inappropriately.

huh~~~
Trying to keep a calm mind, Silly Zhu continued to cook.

Seeing this, the aunt could only sigh in her heart.

bang bang

Just when Silly Zhu put the food on the table, there was a knock on the door.

Silhu opened the door and saw Qin Huairu standing at the door with red eyes.

He was holding a big bowl with two Wowotou in his hand. Without looking at Silly Zhu, he walked straight inside.

"Big Mom!"

Qin Huairu's voice was full of grievance, especially when she saw the food on the table, so much meat...

After speaking out, he held back the tears in his eyes, put down the cornbread, told his aunt to take her medicine on time, and then turned around and left.

From beginning to end, he didn’t even look at Silly Zhu.

Shazhu looked at Qin Huairu's leaving figure, and suddenly felt a sinful feeling.

"Pillar, pillar!"

Seeing that Shazhu was still dazed, Aunt Ma screamed several times.

This time, Shazhu came to his senses and sat at the table. When he saw the steamed buns in the bowl, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Alas, Huairu has not been easy these years."

"You also know the situation in her family. If it hadn't been so sudden last time, you two would have been together."

Aunt Ma said while observing Shazhu's face. Seeing his guilty look, she knew that Qin Huairu still had a place in her heart.

However, today's Shazhu is not the stupid young man he used to be. Experience has not smoothed his edges, but it has taught him to make choices.

Sitting at the table, he picked up the steamed buns and said, "Auntie, I know, let's eat first."

"Ugh!"

The aunt sighed and then picked up the chopsticks.

As the night passed, there were a few more early risers in the courtyard.

Mrs. Jia Zhang followed Qin Huairu in a torn cotton-padded jacket, followed by Banggan.

The difference is that Banggeng is carrying a small baggage on his back, and it looks like he is traveling far away.

"Mom, I don't want to go, it's too cold there, Mom"

Banggeng had a wronged face and felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

"Banggeng, be obedient. Be at peace when you go and don't cause trouble again."

Qin Huairu did not step forward to comfort him, but just watched from a distance.

The Jia family's seed she gave birth to became more and more distant in her mind.

In the past, I had hoped that Bangge would be able to provide for her when he grew up, but if the situation continued, I wouldn't be able to wipe his butt during this period of time.

Moreover, she didn't know if she could hold on for how long.

"Awesome, my great grandson."

When Jia Zhang heard Bangge's pitiful words, she stepped forward and hugged him, tears streaming down her face.

Nowadays, in the family, Xiaodang Huaihua is a loser. I don’t know if she will come back when she gets married in the future.

Qin Huairu, a widow, might marry someone else one day, and she wasn't a widow who left her children behind and ran away.

If this is true, then her only support is the grandson in front of her.

Although he is still young, he is still from the Jia family.

"Milk, I'm not going."

"Awesome, my great grandson."

"Nai, please help me. I won't go. It's too cold there. I want to stay in the courtyard."

"Awesome, my great grandson."

"Grandma, I'm afraid."

Banggeng clutched Jia Zhang's sleeve tightly, and the two of them started crying in the yard, letting the early risers watch the excitement.

Silly Zhu went out to work in the coal yard today, and happened to see the scene in front of him.

As for Jia Zhang and Bang Gang, Shazhu could still love the house and the bird before, but now.

He was not sure about his feelings for Qin Huairu.

If she hadn't reported the merits, she might still have been thinking about her good deeds as always, but now, seeing Jia Zhang and Bang Gang's "revelation of true love" as a couple, I couldn't help but regard it as a joke.

But seeing Qin Huairu's miserable look, my heart was still a little touched.

Qin Huairu didn't pay attention to the looks of the people around her, nor did she try to stop Jia Zhang from revealing her true feelings. She just glanced at Silly Zhu from the corner of her eyes and waited quietly.

A moment later, a man walked in from the outside, wearing a uniform, with a calm and threatening look on his face.

"Jia Terrier?"

The visitor glanced at the yard and then placed it on Jia Zhang who was crying bitterly. We had seen this kind of scene many times.

Of course, every time they come out, it means one thing, the problem is serious.

If these seemingly young children cannot be corrected in time and receive ideological education in time, they will definitely become a restless factor in society in the future.

"I don't want it, I don't want to be angry, grandma, help me, grandma."

"Awesome, my great grandson."

It's a pity that Jia Zhang's back and forth still said the same thing.

The next second, Banggeng felt someone grab him by the back of his collar and stood up directly.

"Why are you crying? I regret it. Why don't you think about it when you make a mistake?"

"The country gives you a chance, so don't take advantage of it."

"This is a second chance, and it's best not to waste it."

Banggan glared at the tall figure of the visitor and did not dare to struggle. He could only look at Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang and Xiaodang and Huaihua with pleading eyes.

"I don't want to go, mom, grandma, I don't want to go, ah~~~"

Banggan's heart-rending cry made Qin Huairu burst into tears.

"Banggeng, don't be afraid, it will be over soon in half a year."

"Mom will cook braised pork for you when you come back."

"Be obedient."

Qin Huairu said, the visitor took a look, then pulled the stick and walked outside, Qin Huairu followed behind.

Soon, the sound of a truck rang out and then quickly moved away.

Jia Zhang looked at the disappearing figure at the Chuihua Gate, stood up tremblingly, and walked out little by little.

Soon, the Jia family disappeared from the courtyard.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao was looking at the items refreshed in the exchange column in a daze.

After getting up this morning, after tidying up, Yang Xiaotao glanced at the noise in the courtyard, and then prepared to go out to the machinery factory.

After staying at home for three days, it can be regarded as a short New Year's holiday. It's time to visit the machinery factory.

In particular, the design drawings of the gearbox have been produced, and the progress of tractors and tricycles has been greatly improved.

The later steps are less difficult and shouldn't take long.

As for production arrangements, we have to discuss them with Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin.

Try to make a prototype the year before last.

Uh

There's less than a month left, so it's a bit rushed.

Just when Yang Xiaotao was about to go out, he suddenly remembered Monday.

It is also the first Monday of this year, and Yang Xiaotao is still very hopeful.

Sure enough, after opening the system panel and updating the items in the redemption column, a unique list appeared in front of me.

Yang Xiaotao didn't look at the other things and only stared at the list.

Soap refining technology, credits 2000.

"Depend on!"

Seeing the credit requirements at the end, Yang Xiaotao suddenly felt that the system was playing a trick on him.

I just earned [-] credits yesterday, and today I got something worth [-].

Really
"Soap refining technology? This thing, at first glance, is used to produce soap."

"But do you still need it now?"

Yang Xiaotao remembered that when he won No. 1 last time, he was given two bars of soap.

When they took it home, Ran Qiuye and Ran's mother were very happy.

In their words, when there are more people in the family, there are more clothes to wash, and they also need to wash their hands regularly. A piece of soap is simply not enough.

Moreover, soap coupons are not issued every month. Sometimes when the soap runs out, you have to find a way to wash it.

The most common thing used by people in the courtyard was plant ash. Yang Xiaotao had seen Ran Qiuye use it to clean menstrual belts. Ran Qiuye felt shy when using it.

Of course, when I was in Yangjiazhuang, I saw some people grating the roots of ground vegetables and using them to wash clothes.

All in all, these inconspicuous little things are related to people's living standards.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know much about these daily necessities, but it could be seen from the faces of Ran Qiuye and the two that these things were more precious than Yang Xiaotao imagined.

That's it for a piece of soap, but what about the soap refining technology?

With this thing, will the production of soap be increased?

"Hopefully it's worth the money."

Yang Xiaotao looked at it for a while and decisively agreed, and then the two thousand credits disappeared into thin air.

In the space, three pages appeared.

The next moment, the refining technology appeared in the palm of his hand. Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and then shook his head.

"It's not difficult."

Looking at the reaction principles above and the clearly explained operating procedures, Yang Xiaotao remembered that when he was reading novels in his previous life, when he traveled back to ancient times to compete for hegemony, the only tools for making money were glass and soap.

Anyone who has traveled through ancient times can do it, why can't he?

What's more, there are ready-made principles and recipes now.

There's no reason why it can't be done.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao decided to find an opportunity to go to the chemical factory to make this soap and save money on washing clothes.

Putting the soap refining technology back into the space, Yang Xiaotao packed up and went out to the machinery factory.

At the gate of the machinery factory, a truck slowly stopped.

In the carriage, the old man was rubbing Zuoma's thighs, his face covered with frost.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate."

"Finally home."

"Ahem, I'm finally back."

Wang Hao's voice came from behind.

The three of them and one car had been on the road for three or four days, sleeping in the open, and now they finally came back.

"Team Leader Zhang, do you think this thing is useful?"

Wang Hao looked at the 'Alchemy Furnace' that was being taken care of all the way. If such a big thing was useless, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

"it works."

The old Taoist said categorically, with no doubt on his face.

"Let's go, drive in."

The veteran patted the front of the car, and the driver understood and moved forward slowly.

When Yang Xiaotao drove to the machinery factory, he heard Lou Xiao'e say that Zhang Laodao was back and was in the warehouse behind.

Yang Xiaotao ignored the gearbox and immediately came to the warehouse.

From a distance, I could see that the warehouse was full of people, with shouts and orders from time to time.

When Yang Xiaotao got closer, he saw seven or eight people moving the stove little by little in the car.

At just one glance, Yang Xiaotao felt that this stove was different from the one in Journey to the West.

However, the portion is not light.

"Mr. Yang."

"Boss Yang is here."

Yang Xiaotao came forward, and everyone greeted him.

The old Taoist stood aside, stroking his beard, his face unable to conceal his fatigue.

"Why is it so late? I thought you were celebrating the New Year at home."

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward, taking off his coat and rolling up his sleeves.

The old Taoist rolled his eyes and said, "To put it lightly, this thing is very brittle. The road is like that. The reason why it can run back is because the driver is good."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and then came under the car. Liu Jun and others in the car were directing them to move down.

"I come."

Yang Xiaotao went directly to the car, put his hand against the stove, and tried the weight. It felt OK.

"Put it down."

The next second, the people in the car started to put down the rope. Yang Xiaotao used his hands hard, squatted down, and then caught it steadily.

The eyes of the people around him widened.

The old Taoist shook his head, cursing the pervert in his heart.

It took them a lot of effort to transport it down the mountain. It took most of a day to transport it to the car.

"Stop looking and give me a hand."

Yang Xiaotao's voice sounded, and everyone rushed forward to help.

Five minutes later, the 'alchemy furnace' that the veteran had high hopes for was finally put in place.

Yang Xiaotao moved his arms, wondering whether to get the forklift out.

Forklift is a bit difficult, but you can try a manual hydraulic forklift.

After writing this idea down, Yang Xiaotao asked someone to keep an eye on the stove, and then led Lao Tao to the canteen. He listened to Lao Tao and Wang Hao talking about what happened on the way. This trip back was not a bumpy one, but there were a lot of things going on.

Especially when talking about the situation in the Taoist temple, the old Taoist was obviously a little more melancholy.

A few people had something to eat in the canteen, and the three of them also learned about what happened in the machine factory these days.

Especially when they heard that the martial arts competition ended successfully and Yang Xiaotao also got a TV. Among the three of them, except for the veteran, Wang Hao and the driver Xiao Wang both opened their mouths in disbelief.

Yang Xiaotao knew that it would not be easy for the three of them this time, so he personally applied for special subsidies for the three of them.

One blanket per person.

It also made Wang Hao and the two feel grateful.

It's not a loss to work for Mr. Yang.

On one side, the three of them were arranged to go home to rest. On the other side, Yang Xiaotao returned to the office to understand the situation with Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning.

in the office.

Yang Youning held the cigarette, his face full of sadness.

"The situation in Yanzhou in the northwest is not good. Last time Mr. Xia came to report, the establishment of the factory site was still in the process of being debated."

"The local government has their considerations, and we have our needs. In the meantime, I don't know what to do." Liu Huaimin nodded, "There is no other way. If we build a factory on someone else's land, we have to consider the local people's livelihood."

"But in that case, our transportation costs will increase. This is not a small amount."

The two of them did not speak, and Yang Xiaotao remained silent after hearing this. In other words, they said that the real decision maker on this kind of matter was the boss above.

"Let's do what the chief says."

Finally Liu Huaimin spoke, but Yang Youning had no choice.

"By the way, how are your tricycle and tractor doing?"

Yang Youning spoke, and Yang Xiaotao took out a stack of drawings from his bag, "The gearbox has been completed. If everything goes well, we will be able to produce a prototype before the year."

"So fast?"

"I also told Chief Wang not to be impatient. It would be good to have a trial run in the spring after next year."

Yang Youning said in surprise, picking up the drawing and looking at it carefully. Although he couldn't understand it, the design inside was a bit complicated.

"I will coordinate with Chief Wang, but we will have to get help when the time comes."

"That's no problem. People from the machine repair shop and the third workshop can come out, but do you want to go?"

Yang Xiaotao was silent for a moment, "Let's talk about it then. Matters involving the steel plant and chemical plant are also critical."

"In the steel plant, the transformation of the converter must be completed as soon as possible. By then, the steel in our machinery plant will not be restricted."

"As for the chemical plant."

Yang Xiaotao thought of the soap refining technology he had obtained in exchange for [-] credits this morning. Although the chemical plant in the reported plan will focus on petrochemicals, on the way to achieving this goal, we can also find some additional projects to 'generate income'. .

Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin heard Yang Xiaotao suddenly become silent in the middle of speaking, and immediately looked over.

Then I saw Yang Xiaotao smiling confidently, "Our Gemini Project has two legs, but one cannot be thick and the other thin."

Liu Huaimin and the two were confused, and Yang Xiaotao did not explain. "If you don't have time in the northwest, ask Lao Chen to help you go there."

"Uncle Chen understands it anyway!"

Yang Youning smiled and said, "If Old Chen knew, I would definitely thank you."

"You have to keep it a secret."

"Ha ha!"

After coming out of the office, Yang Xiaotao went directly to the R&D Department.

In the courtyard these days, Zhang Guanyu is in charge of the work of the R&D department. The design of tricycles and tractors is progressing smoothly. The body frame has already been outlined, and other designs have also made great progress.

He handed the design drawing of the gearbox to Zhang Guanyu, and then stayed in the R&D department for a while to explain the design requirements of the gearbox to everyone. After discussion, he returned to the office.

After finishing trivial matters at the machinery factory in the morning, Yang Xiaotao drove to the steel plant in the afternoon.

After successfully transforming a [-]-ton open-hearth furnace, the steel plant is now transforming a large-scale [-]-ton open-hearth furnace.

"We must bring out a group of skilled workers as soon as possible to master the converter transformation work."

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the renovation site and said to Guan Zhiyong and An Zhongsheng beside him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, we are currently sorting out the transformation experience. Once sorted out, we will speed up the transformation."

Guan Zhiyong explained on the side, Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then looked at An Zhongsheng, "Teacher An, you also know the situation in Yanzhou in the northwest."

"I know, Mr. Yang."

"We don't need comrades from the steel plant now, but next year, once it is built, our plant must be ready."

"I understand that we will never back down as long as necessary."

An Zhongsheng said seriously.

He has realized his value in the steel factory, but that doesn't mean he is content with this.

Being able to participate in the construction of Yanzhou's steel plant and build an advanced steel plant is also a challenge for him.

It is also an opportunity.

The steel plant in Yanzhou has been built, and in the future, he will build a taller and larger steel plant.

"Director of the factory, you must focus on cultivating talents."

Here Yang Xiaotao continued, "When the time comes, I plan to ask Teacher An to support the construction of Yanzhou in the name of the machinery factory. You can discuss the personnel yourself."

"However, with fewer people, the construction of steel plants cannot be left behind. The amount of steel used in machinery plants will rise sharply after this year. I might as well tell you that in the future, our machinery plants will produce large tractors and three-wheelers, and the need for steel will only increase. .”

Yang Xiaotao expressed his thoughts, but An Zhongsheng was fine. Going to Yanzhou to support him was part of the plan.

But Guan Zhiyong felt the pressure doubled.

In particular, the increase in steel production made him feel unsure.

We can only expedite the refitting of the open-hearth furnaces in steel plants.

After walking around the steel plant, generally speaking, the steel plant is developing in a good direction.

Yang Xiaotao was very satisfied with this.

Returning to the courtyard in the evening, Yang Xiaotao cooked mutton hot pot at home to entertain the returning Taoist.

The two were drinking in the house, and people passed by in the courtyard from time to time, wanting to see if Yang Xiaotao had turned on the TV.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiaotao is not enthusiastic about current TV programs, Ran Qiuye is not at home, and people in the courtyard are too shy to come in.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao went to work as usual.

I watched it in the workshop in the morning. Because of the excitement of the martial arts competition and the enthusiasm of the workers in the workshop, Yang Xiaotao felt that the temperature in the workshop was too high.

They all suspected that the master who fired the boiler had added fuel.

After checking the progress of the Double Star engine, he took Lou Xiaoe to the chemical plant in the afternoon.

At this time, the distillation tower of the chemical plant has been installed and finishing work is now being processed.

Arriving at the chemical plant, Yang Xiaotao, accompanied by Xu Yuanshan, visited the distillation tower and also listened to the analysis of relevant technical personnel.

"Uncle Xu, can we have a trial production before this year?"

Looking at the distillation tower tens of meters high, Yang Xiaotao asked.

Xu Yuanshan shook his head, "It's been a long time ago."

"It's one thing that it's freezing now and it's difficult for workers to operate. Temperature is also an important factor affecting chemical reactions."

"The temperature is too low, which seriously affects the efficiency of the catalyst."

"According to the comrades' plan, the equipment can be inspected and repaired before the end of the year, and trial production can be started after the weather warms up after the new year."

Xu Yuanshan said, and Yang Xiaotao nodded, knowing that safety was the priority now.

"What about the future? We can't take a vacation every winter, right?"

Xu Yuanshan smiled and said, "That can't be done. Just make sure at the beginning."

“When the technology matures, there will be a steady stream of applications in the future.”

"That's good."

Then, accompanied by Xu Yuanshan, he continued to visit and finally returned to the office.

Xu Yuanshan asked people to serve tea. In addition to Yang Xiaotao and Lou Xiaoe, there were several directors of chemical plants in the room.

"Uncle Xu, I want to know, has our chemical factory ever made soap?"

Yang Xiaotao took a few sips and stated the purpose of his trip.

Xu Yuanshan put down the jar, not knowing why.

However, when Yang Xiaotao asked, he still looked at the director on the side and said, "Director Wang, please tell me."

Director Wang is a middle-aged man with a round face wearing glasses. At first glance, he looks a bit like Zhang Guanyu, but his eyes are more dexterous than Zhang Guanyu's.

Sure enough, after receiving the instruction, Director Wang stood up immediately with a humble smile on his face.

"Mr. Yang, factory director."

"No need to meet outsiders, just sit down and talk, I'm just asking."

"Yes."

Director Wang sat down, then nodded and began to say, "Our chemical factory has participated in this soap before, but later due to technical problems and the tasks assigned by superiors, our factory stopped investing in it."

"So where are the soaps on the market produced now? What is the production volume?"

"Nowadays, most soaps are produced by chemical plants. As for the output, it depends on the technology."

"what's the difference?"

Yang Xiaotao was obviously interested. Seeing this, Director Wang was also willing to talk and introduced him very seriously.

"Among them, the earliest soaps used animal fats as raw materials due to process problems. If they were not processed properly, there would be odors and ugly colors. Sometimes the washed clothes would have a fishy smell."

"But now I heard that the No. [-] Chemical Factory has improved the process and produced soap that can effectively remove odors and colors. This is the lighthouse soap we use."

Director Wang introduced the situation clearly, "As for the production volume you mentioned, if it is other soaps, we have many in China, but people like new soaps, so the demand for this lighthouse soap exceeds supply."

"I guess it's a problem with the original parts and workmanship, which limits the output!"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed after hearing this, "Since the output is limited, why doesn't the No. [-] Chemical Factory announce the new process? Let everyone produce it together!"

After hearing this, Xu Yuanshan looked at Yang Xiaotao strangely.

"Ahem. Mr. Yang."

"Well, each chemical plant has its own specialties and tasks! Here, it's impossible to finish its own tasks!"

"The No. [-] Chemical Plant did not announce it because of this consideration."

Yang Xiaotao shook his head, knowing that this so-called reason was simply untenable.

In the final analysis, the No. [-] Chemical Factory does not want to waste its efforts!
Their machinery factory contributed the design drawings of the steam engine, and even distributed "treasures" like Venus to other people. The awareness of the people in the chemical factory was a bit low.

"How can this work? Since the process has been improved, it should be contributed to allow more chemical plants to produce more soap."

"They are all contributing to the revolutionary construction and making the people live a good life. How can they be selfish and conservative?"

After Yang Xiaotao said this, Director Wang smiled bitterly and then looked at Xu Yuanshan.

"Mr. Yang."

Xu Yuanshan said, "Some things are unique to the factory, like the Red Star tractor in the machinery factory, right?"

"The soap technology of this chemical factory took many years and countless manpower, energy and materials to make, and it was not easy to make, among them."

“Some craftsmanship can only be understood but cannot be explained.”

"The superiors will not ignore it."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes, "In other words, our chemical factory doesn't know the soap production technology."

Xu Yuanshan thought Yang Xiaotao was trying to get someone else's 'secret recipe' and wanted a chemical factory to produce soap, so he quickly said, "It's not impossible. As long as we work hard on research and use the factory's technical equipment, we should be able to make it."

Then he looked at Director Wang, "You guys think so."

Director Wang nodded immediately, "Mr. Yang, with our existing technology and equipment, as long as we have the time and energy, we can definitely develop it!"

Director Wang's meaning is very clear. It can be done and it can be done, but it will take time.

And, from the looks of it, it should take a lot of time!
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I still agree with our factory's technology."

Xu Yuanshan and others nodded.

But what Yang Xiaotao did next shocked everyone.

Yang Xiaotao reached out to take the briefcase from Lou Xiao'e's hand and took out a folder from it.

"This is a recipe for soap production. Take a look and see if it works?"

For a moment, the entire conference room was silent.

Even Lou Xiao'e, who was sitting in the back, had her hands shaking.

She took it all the way, not knowing that there was such a thing in it.

Yang Xiaotao put the documents on the table. Xu Yuanshan was the first to react and nodded to Director Wang.

Director Wang immediately picked up the document and looked at it carefully. Within a moment, someone next to him came over.

"Old Li, take a look!"

Director Wang swallowed hard. The principles written on these three pieces of paper were simple and clear, and the chemical reactions were also very accurate. Especially the process flow inside, some of which he could understand clearly.

Some of them gave him a brand new feeling, but he didn’t know whether they were true or false!
Director Li didn't say anything, he just took the file, opened it and looked at it carefully.

After a while, he took out a pen from his pocket and looked around for tissue paper.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao took out a notebook from his bag and handed it over.

The man nodded politely, and then quickly checked the calculations in his notebook.

"Xiao Tao, where did you come from?"

Xu Yuanshan was a little confused. In his opinion, Yang Xiaotao had never studied chemistry!
He shouldn't have taken it out!

"I've been reading some chemistry books these days!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't say it in detail, but the meaning was very clear, it was written by Yang Xiaotao.

Xu Yuanshan opened his mouth and his mind was in chaos.

Suddenly, Director Li stood up, looking a little excited, "Mr. Yang, factory director, there is no problem with the reaction here!"

Xu Yuanshan reacted, stood up quickly, and reached out to take the document.

He didn't understand the technology above, but he could understand Yang Xiaotao's words.

That kind of calligraphy cannot be written by ordinary people.

A closer look revealed that it was indeed Yang Xiaotao's calligraphy.

"You really wrote it?"

Xu Yuanshan asked what everyone present felt.

"Could there be anyone else?"

Yang Xiaotao asked with a smile, but at this time, Director Li on the side spoke again, "Director, Mr. Yang gave me this."

"I have learned about Huayi's craftsmanship, but in terms of design, it is still different from Mr. Yang's."

Xu Yuanshan's hand holding the document shook. He understood Director Li's skills.

Otherwise, he would not be allowed to make the final confirmation.

What Director Li said meant that Yang Xiaotao did not get this technology from Huayi.

"Sure?"

"I can assure you."

Director Li said seriously, "This technology is still different from that of chemical synthesis in principle, especially the ratio of acid to alkali and molecular replacement."

Director Li explained, but no one present said anything.

Xu Yuanshan still couldn't believe it.

Yang Xiaotao looked at his watch. He had spent a lot of time in the chemical plant and had given what he had to give. It was time to go back.

"Uncle Xu, if it works, you can try this."

"Anyway, as you said, there are chemical plant equipment and everything. Try it out and see if it works best. If it doesn't work, forget it."

"I just felt it while reading, nothing else."

With that said, Yang Xiaotao stood up and said to Xu Yuanshan, who was still in a daze, "Uncle Xu, let me know the results when you have them. I'll go back now."

"Okay, I will tell you the result as soon as possible."

Xu Yuanshan also calmed down and nodded to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao then left the chemical factory with Lou Xiaoe and drove to the machinery factory.

"Mr. Yang, you, do you really understand chemistry? Do you know how to make soap?"

"Know a little bit!"

Yang Xiaotao drove and spoke modestly.

Lou Xiao'e was sitting in the back, her expression suddenly dim.

The two returned to the machinery factory and had already reached the end of get off work. Yang Xiaotao put down Lou Xiao'e and drove to Ran's house.

In the past two days, the weather has been getting colder and colder, and the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Xiaowei rushed forward.

Since Yang Xiaotao sent Xiaowei to the child, the little guy only sees her a few days a week.

"Whoa!"

Hiding in Yang Xiaotao's pocket, Yang Xiaotao patted his chest and walked in.

In the yard, Ran Hongbing was playing with Duanwu. As Duanwu grew up, the two of them became more and more capable. They dared to do anything and were not afraid of anything.

If it weren't for the eldest sister Ran Qiuye, Ran Hongbing would have turned the world upside down with Little Dragon Boat Festival.

As soon as Yang Xiaotao walked in, Xiao Duanwu ran over after seeing it.

Yang Xiaotao saved him and then entered the house together.

"Mom! Dad hasn't come back yet?"

In the room, Ran Xinrui came back from school and helped look after Yueyue and Rongrong, while Ran's mother was chopping vegetables.

"He's been acting crazy these days. Sometimes he comes back, and sometimes he even lives in the office."

Ran's mother complained, "It's okay if I don't come back, we're used to it anyway."

Yang Xiaotao put down the Dragon Boat Festival and glanced at the two girls sitting on the kang. After teasing them for a while, he went to prepare dinner.

"Dad's career is on the rise now, so it's good to be busy."

Ran's mother shook her head, "No matter how busy I am, I have to go home."

"Besides, can you be busy?"

Yang Xiaotao lowered his head, unable to accept these words.

As night fell, Shazhu put his hands in his sleeves and hung a lunch box on his arm. It was dangling in the wind and looked heavy.

Last time I wanted to visit Yi Zhonghai, but I bumped into Liu Guangqi halfway, which has been postponed until now.

Now that he finally had time, Silly Zhu brought some 'leftovers' directly from the coal yard and came over specifically to visit Yi Zhonghai.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the village, he was stopped by the patrolling village protection team.

Silly Zhu came forward to say hello in a familiar manner, and took out a cigarette from the half pack and handed it to him.

After explaining the purpose of their visit, the village protection team told the captain about the situation, and then agreed that Sha Zhu would go find Yi Zhonghai.

Arriving at a familiar place, Silly Zhu knocked on the door and pushed it open.

"Zhuzi, you, why are you here?"

Yi Zhonghai is lighting a fire. It's freezing cold today. If he doesn't burn the kang, he won't be able to sleep at all at night.

Seeing Silly Zhu come in, Yi Zhonghai was not only surprised but also surprised.

You know, Shazhu's labor camp is in a coal yard. How can he get out without approval?
Just like him, he can't leave the village without the permission of his superiors.

"Master, why can't I come?"

Silly Zhu said proudly, sitting on the kang beside him.

"You, stop working so hard and come over quickly to have something to eat. I brought you good things."

Silly Zhu opened the lunch box as he spoke, revealing a fried egg and steamed buns inside, with a layer of shredded potatoes underneath, faintly flesh-colored.

A scent of oil appeared in the cold air in the room, and Yi Zhonghai's throat surged. He dusted off his hands and walked quickly.

"Zhuzi, what's going on with you?"

"Master, you eat first, I will tell you later."

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai didn't say much, took out two chopsticks of different lengths from the lunch box on the kang table next to him, and quickly started to pull them out.

When Sha Zhu saw it, he took out a handful of peanuts from his pocket, put them on the table and peeled them off, and handed a few to Yi Zhonghai from time to time.

"Master, I can go back to the courtyard now."

"Huh? What?"

"Hey, this is all thanks to you!"

Yi Zhonghai was surprised when he heard that Sha Zhu could return to the courtyard, but now that it was related to him, he was even more confused, and even ate in a daze without any taste.

"You, listen to me carefully."

"This is what happened"

Silly Zhu began to tell what happened. When Yi Zhonghai heard that Liu Guangqi was an enemy agent, his lunch box shook and his face turned pale instantly.

It seemed like I was thinking of some painful memories.

After hearing that Sha Zhu directly reported Liu Guangqi, he then led people to arrest the Liu family, and finally told the situation in the courtyard.

Back and forth, Shazhu explained everything thoroughly.

When it was mentioned that Qin Huairu was close to Liu Guangqi, Yi Zhonghai, who was eating with his head down, looked fiercely.

When it comes to Qin Huairu, a strong man who cut off his wrist and took the initiative to expose and report Liu Guangqi, he was relieved again.

When talking about the situation of the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai had no expression on his face.

"That's it. Because of my meritorious service, I was deducted three years from the above. After all, I'm almost the same as you."

"Not only that, you can also go home and live there. Don't worry, I will take care of you. My cold has gotten better in the past few days."

"Also, thanks to my silly craftsmanship, the leader of the coal yard took a fancy to it and went directly to the kitchen. This is what you eat."

Silly Zhu said proudly, but did not notice that Yi Zhonghai, who was eating beside him, had stopped.

He even stopped chewing in his mouth and looked straight at Silly Zhu.

It wasn't until Si Zhu finished speaking that Yi Zhonghai closed his mouth, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Pillar!"

"It's such a big deal, why don't you come and tell me!"
