Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Bang Geng's face was filled with rage, and he could no longer bear it. He rushed forward with a fierce look and bit Liu Guangfu's hand.

"You little bastard, you still dare to resist!"

Liu Guangfu cursed, kicked him away, and slapped him a few more times, causing him to curl up on the ground with his hands on his head, not daring to talk back.

"Your mother is shameless. Everyone knows about her affair with Deputy Factory Director Lao Li..."

After the fight had gotten to this point, Liu Guangfu didn't dare to hit him any harder, but he kept cursing and scolding.

...The workers around looked at each other in confusion. This matter involved Qin Huairu, which made it a tricky situation.

Qin Huairu is a celebrity in the steel rolling mill. The rumors about her and Deputy Director Lao Li have not yet died down, and the rumor that she is being targeted by the deputy director is also known to everyone.

She is a person protected by all the female workers in the factory and works in the canteen. It is no small matter to offend her.

After all, everyone has to go to the cafeteria to eat. Although Qin Huairu doesn't serve food, what she and Liu Lan say is just as effective.

"You're just a little bastard..."

"Your mother is not a good person either, that's why she gave birth to someone like you..."

"Your mother is having an affair with someone, and you come here to steal things. What a bad person..."

……

He Yuzhu watched for a while and saw that Liu Guangfu only scolded but did not hit him. He was about to leave when he saw Qin Huairu running towards him with an anxious look on her face.

"Great Terrier! Great Terrier!"

Bang Geng was lying on the ground with his hands on his head. Qin Huairu felt anxious and distressed when she saw him, and hurried forward to hug him.

"Bang Geng, tell mom who hit you, I'll go and settle the score with them..."

"Get lost, it's none of your business. I have nothing to do with your shameless mother..."

Bang Geng seemed to have lost control. He pushed her away angrily and ran away like a madman.

"Bang Geng, you..."

Qin Huairu stood there in a daze, her mind went blank. She collapsed to the ground powerlessly, her eyes filled with grief and despair, tears streaming down her face like a spring.

He Yuzhu glanced at Qin Huairu, didn't take it seriously, and didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he finally walked over.

After all, Lou Xiaoe, Liu Lan, Ma Hua and others were also here.

"What brought you here?"

He Yuzhu walked up to Lou Xiao'e and resisted the urge to hold her hand.

Qin Huairu ran over crying, which had already attracted a lot of people's attention. It would have a bad impact if she was seen.

"We heard that Qin Huairu's child was beaten, so we came to take a look."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Qin Huairu's desolate expression. Seeing her crying silently, she became depressed. "She is so pitiful. The child she raised with great effort treats her like this."

"..."

Poor?

He Yuzhu glanced over there and shook his head secretly. He was just reaping what he sowed. What he raised was an ungrateful person.

In any case, such behavior does not deserve sympathy.

"What are you looking at?"

Lou Xiao'e suddenly tilted her head and asked.

"I didn't see anything."

He Yuzhu shook his head.

"Humph……"

Lou Xiao'e looked unconvinced, wrinkled her nose, waved her fist and threatened: "Don't think of caring for her just because she is pitiful. Stay away from her. If I see you, I will beat you up."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but look at her strangely and asked curiously, "Didn't you feel sorry for her just now and sympathize with her?"

"I feel sorry for her, and I feel sorry for her, but that's her family's private matter, and we can't interfere. My mother once said that everyone should mind their own business and not meddle in other people's business. I think my mother is right."

Lou Xiao'e frowned slightly and snorted: "As for you, you have a criminal record. I won't interfere with your past. After all, you were not married then. But now that you are married, stay away from her in the future."

"rest assured."

He Yuzhu answered with a smile, and some of the worries in his heart were put to rest.

In the past two months, Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu have been very close in the cafeteria, but he didn't see her doing anything to help him, so he didn't say anything. He couldn't stop Lou Xiao'e from interacting with others normally.

Just now I was worried that she would be soft-hearted and feel sympathy and help Qin Huairu, but the result was completely different.

It seems that Mother Lou has done a good job in educating her children.

……

After returning to the cafeteria, Qin Huairu looked extremely miserable, with lifeless eyes and a distraught look.

For the first time in such a long time, He Yuzhu felt that she was not acting.

After all, no mother would feel good if her child said that.

However, He Yuzhu didn't care about her condition. In the afternoon, Director Yang came. After waiting for more than two months, the dough mixer innovation team's report was finally approved, and the stainless steel project was settled.

But it also brings a problem.

"The heating furnace in our steel rolling mill is not working. It won't heat up."

Director Yang sighed.

"Can't get warm?"

He Yuzhu was puzzled.

Director Yang knew that he didn't understand, so he explained: "The steel billets coming out of the steel mill are only semi-finished products, and stainless steel is no exception..."

After listening to his explanation,

He Yuzhu understood that the steel billet needed to be heated to a specific temperature before it could enter the hot rolling mill, and undergo repeated heating, initial rolling, and then finish rolling to finally obtain the required steel.

This particular state should be moderate, not too soft or too hard, it must be just right.

At the same time, this repeated hot rolling is also a refining process for the steel billet, which can improve the intrinsic quality of the steel, enhance its strength and hardness, improve its toughness, and obtain high-quality comprehensive performance.

Just like the repeated hammering of a metal billet when forging a sword, the resulting sword is incredibly sharp.

Steel rolling is a similar lifting process.

But whether it is steel rolling or sword casting, the metal billet needs to be heated first.

However, stainless steel billets are more heat-resistant than ordinary steel billets and require higher temperatures, but the heating furnaces in steel rolling mills cannot stabilize this temperature.

why?

It’s too backward!

In this era, why else?

He Yuzhu thought about it and asked curiously: "Since stainless steel can be refined, it should also be possible to roll steel, right? Otherwise, how to use those stainless steel billets? Is there such a steel rolling mill?"

"Indeed."

Director Yang hesitated for a moment, "But don't think about it. It is a special existence. Just pretend it doesn't exist."

Got it, that's regulated.

Ignore it, pretend you don't know, and stay away from trouble.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and asked again: "When was the heating furnace built?"

"When else could it be?"

Director Yang gave him an unhappy look.

He Yuzhu pretended not to see it, which was indeed unnecessary. Most of the current industrial systems originated from those introduced ten years ago. In other words, the technology level of this heating furnace remained in the 1950s...

It may even be lower. The technology exported by the other party will definitely not be the best. At most, it will be at the level of the 1940s.

It is already 1961, and we are still stuck in the same place. The direct gap between us and the world's most advanced technology is years. Even if we calculate it at a generation every ten years, there is still a gap of at least years.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but rub his brows, feeling a little troubled.

I just want to make a dough mixer. Is it not enough to get stainless steel? Do I also need to upgrade the heating furnace?
