Chapter 141: Cooking
"Uncle, I think you should learn more about culture when you have time! What is the most important thing in the 20 th century? Knowledge and talent!" Li Liang said with a smile.
"Hey, Liangzi, don't underestimate my uncle, if my family wasn't poor back then, my uncle wouldn't have gone back to the village to farm without finishing junior high school!" Wang Fagen sighed, "At the beginning, my studies with your aunt Xiuyan were very good, but your grandfather died early, and my two brothers had their own small families, and you can't support the two scholars by relying on your grandmother and your parents' subsidies alone." ”
"Hey!" Li Liang also sighed, I don't know how many talented rural children in the world are buried because of family poverty.
His brother-in-law and aunt have very good personalities and are also smart, although they didn't have their own help in their previous lives, and they both got their own heads later. But that was many years later, and I don't know how much suffering I have endured and how many tears I have secretly shed.
"Liangzi, I think I will not only follow Zou Guangguang to master the basic knowledge of construction engineering, but more importantly, I will build a team and establish a network. Although you have always talked about the importance of technology, and let Zou Guangguang's direct technology account for 10% of the shares, I think that as long as you master this set of operation processes and mix up some contacts in the construction circle, even if you don't have Zou Guangguang in the future, we can still recruit a few more technicians. Wang Fagen said.
Wang Fagen's thinking is very reasonable, in fact, building houses in small and medium-sized counties now, doing some small projects such as roads and family homes, really does not have much gold content. As long as you don't cut corners too much, there is generally no problem. The key is to mix up some contacts as Wang Fagen said, and only with contacts can you continue to get business.
"Uncle, just do as you say, I'll be in the third year of junior high school in the first half of the year, and I don't think I will have much spare time after school starts, everything depends on you!" Li Liang cheered Wang Fagen up, "In addition, what are you going to use with those salesmen who followed you last year?"
The reason why Li Liang thought of starting a construction engineering team was to envelop these people who first followed Wang Fagen to do the Spring Festival couplet business. These people dare to go out to run business in this era, and as long as their luck is not too bad in the future, Li Liang believes that they will all get ahead.
"I think so, didn't we make an appointment to summon them to the county seat for a New Year's banquet on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, I plan to let them follow us to work on construction for a period of time, and then select some people who can speak well and endure hardships, and then send them back to various towns and towns and even surrounding counties and cities to contract projects!" Wang Fagen said, "Our construction engineering team must undertake small projects in the early stage, and if there are large projects in the county, we must think about the county construction company first." Let's first base ourselves on some small projects of private individuals and small units, and then find ways to do big projects after accumulating experience!"
What Wang Fagen said is very reasonable, this is actually the strategy of encircling the city from the countryside, don't go to the construction company in H County for the time being, first pull them over to do a good job of small projects that they don't have time or interest in, and then compete with them after accumulating experience.
"Uncle, you're right. Let's just get started, don't startle the snake first!"
Li Liang had never done construction in his previous life, and what he thought about was not to compete head-on with construction companies first, but to do a good job in the small projects that he could get. Since his brother-in-law Wang Fagen coincides with his own thinking, let's do what he says.
The two discussed it again, and Wang Fagen took his leave and went back.
When leaving, Wang Fagen invited: "Liangzi, will you go to your brother-in-law's place for dinner with Mengmeng in the evening?"
Wang Fagen rented a small courtyard in the city, and his mother and sister lived with him for the past few days. Today, my sister and brother-in-law both went to attend the wedding banquet of the colleague's son in the factory, so it is better to let Li Liang and Mengmeng go to their own place for dinner.
"No need, uncle, go back quickly! I still have vegetables at home, my mother and they are all ready and put in the cupboard when they go out in the morning, I will heat it up myself later, and then steam some rice and wait for my sister to come home and eat!" Li Liang said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll go first!"
Waiting for Wang Fagen to leave, Li Liang came to the kitchen to cook. Although he has been reborn for more than half a year, Li Liang is still not used to life after being reborn, especially in cooking.
Unlike later generations, there were no pressure cookers and rice cookers at home at this time, and most of the people with few families used aluminum and steel pots to cook rice, and in many homes and restaurants, they needed to use wooden retorts to steam rice.
Li Liang has a small family, so he usually uses aluminum and steel pots for cooking. Cooking with this kind of pot is especially difficult to master. When the water is about to dry, you have to reduce the fire based on experience, and the early meal will be raw, and the late meal will be mushy.
Whenever this time Li Liang misses the rice cooker of later generations, this thing seems to have been more popular abroad at this time, and I don't know if there are any domestic manufacturers. Anyway, Li Liang went to the department store several times, but he never saw this thing.
However, the principle of this thing seems to be quite simple, simply put, when the temperature in the pot reaches a certain standard value, the temperature magnet is touched, and then the spring is driven to disconnect the power supply. Well, the uncle should pass by the house when school starts, and ask him when the time comes, if the technology is feasible, you can suggest that the uncle make small household appliances.
When the rice was almost cooked, Li Liang heard the crackling sound in the pot, he didn't dare to be careless at all, and hurriedly took out the firewood that was still burning in the stove and buried it in the bottom layer of ashes.
"Oh, my good brother, didn't you even hear me shout to you?" Suddenly, Li Meng entered the kitchen and said with a smile.
"Sister!" Li Liang shouted, "When did you come back?"
"I just came back, I called you in the yard just now, and you didn't hear it!" Li Meng smiled.
"Aren't I concentrating on cooking, it's too difficult to master the heat of cooking?" Li Liang complained.
"Is the dish hot?" asked Li Meng.
"Not yet!"
"That's okay, you don't have to watch over there, you come here to help me light the fire, I'll heat the food!" Li Meng said.
The Li family's kitchen stove has several stove openings, including those for boiling water, cooking, and stir-frying.
"Good!"
Li Liang moved from the stove where the rice was cooking to the big stove for stir-frying, and ignited the fire!
Li Meng washed the pot, took out the two dishes that her mother Wang Xiulan had fried in the morning in the cupboard, and poured them into the pot to heat them.
"Okay, Liangzi, you bring these two bowls of dishes into the living room, and I'll serve the rice!" Li Meng said as she scooped up the hot dishes from the pot and put them on the plate.
"Good!"
