Before steelmaking, the ash tunnel is cleared, and this work is performed by the bricklayer class.

Workers in the bricklayer class drill into the underground flue, and they quickly load the ash that has not yet fully cooled into buckets, hoist it to the ground, and transfer it to the wagons. The flue is like a stuffy tank, dusty, high temperature, difficult working environment, and great physical exertion.

At the beginning of May, Jiangcheng was already hot, and after standing in the workshop for a while, they were sweating, and the labor intensity of the ash cleaning workers could be imagined.

Zhao Qingshan cares about the front-line workers, he said: "The brothers in the bricklayer class are very hard. ”

"What the hell, you want his money, he wants your life. Meng Shuizhi shook his head and smiled, as if he was used to it.

Zhao Qingshan asked again: "How much money can these brothers who don't want to die?"

"Pay according to the salary level, pay according to the results of labor, the more work you do, the more money you get, and the squad leader of the bricklayer class even has a salary and bonus, which is a little lower than Xiao Zhao, an engineer. ”

"That's not high. ”

"In the past, being a worker was the most honorable, but now it's different, I've been a worker all my life, it doesn't matter. My girl can't read and becomes a worker, my son can't be a worker anymore, and educated people must earn a little more. ”

Meng Shuizhi didn't understand any big truths, but he knew that engineers were solving technical problems. Let's talk about Xiao Zhao, he solved a technical problem, created millions of economic benefits for Jianggang, and also generated more than 100,000 US dollars in foreign exchange.

The ash cleaner cleans up the ash for a hundred years, and that's it. Everyone is working, and the value of the fruits of labor is high and low, and it is distributed according to work, so some people earn more, and Meng Shuizhi can understand and accept it.

"Our Jianggang is too big, some stations are tired, and some stations are a little easier. When I entered the factory, the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous workstation was only qualified by party members. However, now, some young comrades are unwilling to do hard work, and if you arrange for him to do it today, he will find a relationship and transfer him tomorrow. ”

Meng Shuizhi was helpless, and he said: "Most of the bricklayers are recruited from the township, and they have no backstage, so they can only work to their deaths." Oh, the biggest person is your fellow countryman, recruited from Huang Pi. ”

I saw eight people coming out of the underground flue, and it should be all the members of the bricklayer class B.

These worker brothers were covered in black ash from their toes to the Heavenly Spirit Cover, and the whites of their eyes appeared particularly white, and their eyes were turning, proving that they were a group of living creatures.

The operator of flue cleaning should not be too high, and this job requires a macho man with short stature but strong stamina.

The "biggest" Huang Pi fellow in Meng Shuizhi's mouth is actually only 1.7879 meters and less than 1.8 meters.

What kind of wind is blowing today, and why are so many clean engineers blowing?

The black workers wiped their faces, but they became darker and darker.

"Lao Meng, we finished it half an hour early, should we pay more bonuses?" said the head of the second class of bricklayers.

"you, send you two bottles of soda. Meng Shuizhi pointed to a box of salt soda on the ground, and said, "Drink some soda, and you can go back and rest after drinking." ”

The team leader picked up a bottle of salt soda, used his teeth as a corkscrew, and with a creak, the cap fell to the ground.

Grunt, the team leader poured a bottle of salt soda in one go, and he said crookedly: "Old Meng, this time the eye rotation let us build the second class, can we get it?"

Lao Meng shook his head and said, "You build a ghost, it has been arranged, let Class A build it." ”

The head of the team jumped up anxiously: "Lao Meng, you can't do this, you can't get money if you don't build it!"

"Money, money, money! You are short of money in Class B, and there is no shortage in other Class A?"

"Lao Meng, you have changed, when you were the head of the furnace, you were not like this!"

"You don't talk to Lao Tzu about this, drink the soda, and go back to sleep. Meng Shuizhi reprimanded, and then instructed: "The nutritional products issued to you by the workshop are all first-class, I tell you, don't sell them, keep them for yourself, you must eat them, do you hear?"

"Eat, eat, eat, eat!"

"Will you tell Lao Tzu again?"

"Eat, eat, eat! Lao Tzu went back and ate up the first-class nutrients!"

"Do what you say, don't coax Lao Tzu. ”

In the eyes of these clean engineers, the management of the production workshop is to treat Lao Tzu with Lao Tzu, to subdue rudeness to subdue rudeness, and to crush irritability with irritability.

The actual situation is roughly like this, Meng Shuizhi is indeed a violent temper, sometimes he has to be irritable, otherwise he will not be able to control the scene.

After drinking salt soda, the bricklayer brothers left the steelmaking workshop one after another, the steelmaking furnace was ready, and the 945 steel smelting was imminent.
