Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

Based on business needs, the factory provided him, a theater staff member, with a bicycle, so the bicycle was no longer a purchase consideration for him.

If everyone in the compound knew that Lin Xiangdong was planning to collect the so-called four necessities as quickly as possible, they would definitely think that he was too optimistic.

Even a fitter like Yi Zhonghai, who has reached the eighth level of skills, has not yet collected all these standard household items!

Nowadays, it is a good thing for a family to have a bulk item.

If the Jia family was not financially well-off, they would never own a sewing machine. After all, if they were struggling financially, they would have sold the sewing machine to supplement their living expenses.

......

In the morning, Lin Xiangdong opened his eyes to the shrill sound of the alarm clock.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the neighbor Yan Fu next door had already started enjoying breakfast.

Lin Xiangdong stretched his waist lazily and stood up while silently saying in his heart: "Sign in after completing the task."

"The mission was successfully completed, and I received a 'loan voucher'."

This lease note shows that Lin Xiangdong has a debt of one yuan to Li Tiezhu.

Li Tiezhu is also a resident of this yard. As a second-level welding craftsman in the factory, his relationship with Lin is not very friendly.

Lin was not too eager to recover the debt from Li Tiezhu.

As the daily tasks progressed, the number of "loan certificates" he brought with him also increased day by day.

Among them, two items were debit vouchers from He Yushui to Lin Xiangdong, but he never pressed He to return them.

Performed basic personal cleanup on his porch before feeding his chickens.

Since buying a watch now would definitely make him late for work, Lin Xiangdong planned to go shopping for a watch after work.

A simple meal of millet porridge and pickled cucumbers for the morning left him content.

Just as I finished a bowl of hot porridge, I felt full.

When I stepped out of the house, I met Sha Zhuzi, who was also going to work.

Also nearby was He Yushui, who was carrying a backpack and was on his way to campus to study.

Seeing Lin Xiangdong riding a bicycle, He Yushui couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"Film projection is a great job. It's a good position and you get a company bicycle." He Yushui commented to his "stupid" elder brother.

But Sha Zhuzi didn't see it that way: "There's nothing good about it." His tone was full of contempt.

For him, cooking was far better than being a projectionist.

After walking out of the alley, He Yushui and Sha Zhuzi separated; the two did not go in the same direction, but went to the east and west respectively.

......

In the publicity area of ​​the factory office, Lin Xiangdong was enjoying himself with a thermos in his hand.

"Xiangdong, is it okay if my brother comes to you to learn the art of film projection?" A lady named Xu asked with a smile.

Today, Lin Xiangdong has a full-time job and can teach skills for a fee, so some colleagues hope to become his disciples and learn skills.

This Sister Xu is an art designer and also a veteran member of the Propaganda Department. Most of the various porcelain paintings in the factory were created by her.

Even though Lin Xiangdong had only been in the Propaganda Department for a short time, he got along well with his colleagues and sometimes even joked with them. To this elder sister Xu, she was a friendly person, but her brother was not so ideal. He had been working as an intern in the No. 3 Canteen for more than a year, but he had not yet been promoted to a full-time position.

Although it is indeed good to have an intern running errands and helping with chores, Lin Xiangdong is not someone who will accept newcomers casually.

In addition, it seems inappropriate to rush to recruit new students shortly after being promoted to a full-time position.

"Sister Xu, I have just become a full-time employee, so it may be too early to recruit interns." Lin Xiangdong responded.

When Xu Damao was still a projectionist, Xu Zhaodi wanted to recommend her brother to follow Xu Damao to learn projection skills. Unfortunately, Xu Damao did not agree.

Because he was afraid of being replaced by "latecomers", Xu Damao never recruited new students.

"Now that you are a formal projection technician, you can take in an intern. My brother is a good person and can endure hard work..." Xu Zhaodi insisted.

After finally dealing with Xu Zhaodi's recommendation, people continued to recommend new students for Lin Xiangdong.

In fact, before Lin Xiangdong became a full-time projectionist, some employees in the same factory had already set their sights on him.

However, if Lin Xiangdong continues to fail to accept new students, the interest of others will gradually cool.

The whole morning was quite leisurely. After lunch, Lin Xiangdong started his busy afternoon.

On that day, Mr. Li had some visitors come and asked Lin Xiangdong to play a movie for them.

Although Mr. Li is the department head responsible for administrative support, he is very likely to be promoted to vice president.

According to the script, Mr. Li not only successfully became the vice president, but also had a powerful influence in the entire factory. Then, after entering the business world, he became a business tycoon and a real winner in life. At this time, offending Mr. Li did not seem to be a wise move, after all, it was just a matter of helping him play a movie.

In addition, Mr. Li personally came to Canteen No. 2 and asked Sha Zhu to prepare an extra meal.

……

After the movie ended in the afternoon, Lin Xiangdong also received a small gift - a glass of red wine. However, due to the huge amount of food he had eaten at noon, he was not very interested in the two meat dishes in front of him. If he had known in advance that Mr. Li would have a visitor, Lin Xiangdong should have controlled his food intake at noon.

After a satisfying meal, Mr. Li patted Lin Xiangdong on the shoulder and said, "Xiangdong, you are such an outstanding young man!"

Although he is currently just a projection technician, he is still worthy of Mr. Li's attention.

At this moment, it is not yet time to get off work in the factory.

As there were no other tasks at hand, Lin Xiangdong chose to leave his post early.

But when he just walked out of the factory gate, he noticed that Sha Zhu not far away was also preparing to leave.

What’s surprising is that this Sha Zhu not only left work early, but he also left his workplace first.

Sha Zhu, who was walking, also noticed Lin Xiangdong and was surprised for a moment.

They were all people who went home early, so Sha Zhu couldn't complain about him.

After all, he usually leaves the factory early, one reason being that his cooking skills are superb and no one can replace him; the other reason is because of Mr. Yi's care and help.

Today, we prepared a special meal for Mr. Li, making his lunch more sumptuous.

Lin Xiangdong did not talk to Sha Zhu, and then rode his bicycle to buy a watch.

Located on the bustling Wangfujing Street, it is the capital's famous shopping palace - the department store, the capital's largest shopping mall.

As soon as he walked to the front of the department store, Lin Xiangdong was surrounded by a lively crowd. After entering the interior, customers came in an endless stream, especially some stalls selling hot-selling products were even more crowded.

Eating, drinking, playing and shopping are all included, with a wide variety of products that will give you endless surprises.

It is said that if you can't find what you need in a department store, you probably won't be able to find it anywhere else.

Compared with traditional material cooperatives, where goods are displayed in counters and consumers are not allowed to touch them unless they want to buy, department stores allow consumers to experience the goods themselves.

Being in it is just like stepping into a large supermarket. The wide variety of goods makes Lin Xiangdong feel dazzled.

On the side, there is an electric toy sales area that attracts the children's attention, and they watch and appreciate it with great enthusiasm; candies and cakes are also sold, and on the second floor is a special area for clothing, shoes and hats.

In this department store, in addition to basic daily necessities such as bicycles and radios, which are three of the so-called "four big items", you can even buy precious color TVs.

However, if you want to get the scarce products, you have to queue up in the early morning.

If Lin Xiangdong arrived as late as he did, most of the limited edition best-selling products would have been sold out.

Even though this is not my first time stepping into this department store, every time I visit it I am still filled with admiration.

Feeling the unique charm of this era, Lin Xiangdong felt mixed emotions.

He first strolled around casually, and after staying for a long time, he stopped in front of the counter in the watch area.

The watch styles here are relatively limited, mainly divided into chrome-plated semi-steel and chrome-plated full-steel styles. For example, this chrome-plated semi-steel Shanghai-made watch is priced at 90 yuan, while a similar Shanghai-made watch with a full-steel structure costs 120 yuan.

Product prices are naturally not fixed. In fact, the value of items other than watches, such as bicycles and radios, also fluctuates over the years.

Lin Xiangdong said to the waiter at the counter: "I want to buy a Shanghai brand all-steel watch."

As one of the so-called four essential equipment, watches have a very important status in this era and are far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, the waiter couldn't help but look at Lin Xiangdong a few more times to express his surprise.

After confirming that the cash and invoice were correct, the salesperson immediately took out a Shanghai brand all-steel watch and handed it to Lin Xiangdong, and briefly introduced the product information.

When Lin Xiangdong took the watch, he examined it carefully and saw that the words "Made in 1958" printed on the back of the watch were particularly eye-catching.

For men, a fine watch carries the same importance as a knight's sword in the Middle Ages.

Looking back at the history of Chinese watch manufacturing, it all started in 1955, when dozens of experienced senior craftsmen handcrafted a total of 18 slim precision watches. In 1958, the "Shanghai City" watch factory was established and produced the first batch of state-owned watches, successfully breaking the record that Chinese citizens could only repair watches but could not manufacture them themselves.

After carefully observing the watch on his hand, Lin Xiangdong liked it more and more. The watch has a structure with 17 jewels, a three-point hour hand design, a 25.6mm diameter movement and tiny screws installed in the swing device. The quality is close to that of famous brands such as Swiss Bovet.
