Kong Jiji, the chief material officer, is becoming more and more prone to being in a daze and smirking, although he doesn't think much of it himself.

After sacrificing the ruins of the Confucian Mansion in Qubu, and tasting the taste of a woman as he wished, he also seemed to have been blessed and protected by the spirits of his ancestors, and suddenly enlightened in some aspects.

For example, in the handling of interpersonal contacts and the coordination of internal relationships, he has also become much more comfortable and proficient.

For example, he can already stammer, and Shen Yue, an old lame man who worships the master book of the Eight Rank Workers and also enjoys the technical director, pretends to talk and chatter.

Instead of talking about some interesting technical concepts in a serious way, as usual, there is nothing else to say.

Although this is also still absent-minded, staring nervously at the behemoth that occupies an entire factory.

Because, this also represents the fruits of his life's pursuit and the crystallization of new blood, for which the family was ruined and betrayed his relatives, and the career goal of most of his life was bumpy.

Today is the day when a large device called the pot mule machine (the prototype of the reciprocating steam engine) was officially put into service in mass production in the military industry.

As a kind of affirmation and final recognition of the original developer, this batch of initial models of pot and mule machines was directly named by the town marshal - Shen Shi Chu No. 1 machine, and announced in the commendation order that Shen Yue would be paid a small amount of technical usage fee for each additional machine built on the original form of Shen Shi No. 1 machine.

Although the overall number is not very large at present, it adds up to only a few dozen. But the so-called is real, making people's eyes red to green, purple fame and fortune, but also many small and small craftsmen and apprentices who serve in Huaidong, inspiring role models and demonstrative effects.

It's just that at the moment of starting, there was both expectation on the face of the master craftsman Shen Yue, a slight bumpy and uneasy, and the good and intact hand was already desperately pinching the green muscles, but he didn't realize it, but he was afraid that this was just his life, and it was just an illusion in the end.

Therefore, even though he had repeated the operation countless times in the previous experiments, until the furnace was successfully fired and with the spraying steam, the huge axles that rotated back and forth flew like a fly, leaving only fine and dense light and shadow.

He sighed as if he had lost his strength.

Shen Yue had no children in his life, and after he regained in his later years, there were only some young disciples and apprentices who took over part of the mantle. Therefore, this machine, like a child raised by his own hands, makes people have mixed feelings and all kinds of feelings.

Even if this is an ugly and somewhat hideous "child".

This is a black and black metallic sheen that is full of power and full of power, and it fully embodies the ugly gadget of the multi-riveting and steaming style. Just being left motionless there, looking at it with the naked eye is intimidating or full of awe.

Not to mention, the rumbling sound and the steaming of the smoke that erupted after the furnace was coaled could really frighten many unsuspecting or shock most unprepared people.

But it is this big guy who represents the accumulation of many material processing applications and scientific and technological innovations over the years of Guangfu Roche and even the Huaidong regime.

For example, the synthetic sealing rings of eucommia glue, the stamped and formed tinplate pipes, the annealed spring parts, the high-strength bolts and riveting fasteners, and even the original valve temperature and pressure gauge.

Moreover, they are all used to learn the operating procedures and technical standards that have been piled up with multiple explosions and steam leaks, bursting parts, and blood and tears of dozens of dead and wounded.

Prior to this, it has passed the pumping of the mine and the lifting of the rail mine car, and the test of several prototypes has been tested for uninterrupted continuous operation, at least for more than three months, and by most of the six months, there are no other irreversible major failures except for the wear and tear of some accessories and the aging and leakage on the pipeline.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, there are no technical obstacles to the establishment of standards and formal industrial production, only the slow adjustment and run-in in the process of use.

It's just that in terms of volume, it is already huge and bulky, and it needs to be further optimized and reduced. It is also far from the requirement that the adult expected to be able to be mounted on steel rails and run on his own.

Moreover, compared with the mature water conservancy machinery, the power is also obviously insufficient, and it can only do some transmission and stretching simple output. For more refined drilling, forging, rolling and other simple processing, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive transformation of the existing transmission system.

But it represents a great beginning. Even during the dry winter season, it is possible to maintain a bright future for production and efficiency, as well as a variety of possibilities for industrial production in areas where rivers and water resources are scarce.

For Kong Jiji, whose position is more focused on the military, this means an explosive growth in the production of guns and guns, which are the core of the military industry. Because compared with the transmission mechanism is quite large, the distance is too long will affect the precision of the hydraulic machinery, this more stable machine can be used to complete the most critical grinding and drilling processes.

It's a pity that his wish is unattainable in the short term.

Because, in accordance with the instructions and requirements of the Zhenfu Government, the production capacity of this batch of pot and mule machines with stable performance will be used to put into its own production, that is, in the repeated manufacturing of more pot and mule machines, key components are the highest priority.

In the cold weather, the heat radiated from the blazing furnace, and then the people standing around them, they couldn't help but feel a little hot wind blowing on their faces, and the sweat couldn't help but retreat step by step.

In the end, only a few people who were really interested or needed to be maintained nearby remained in place.

As the machine runs faster and faster, and the roar is getting louder and louder, different people present have different moods, and they are thinking about each other or falling into some kind of prospect and expectation

In the city of Linyi, Chen Yuan is also patrolling, and the newly opened branch is in the local market that has been renamed Yongjunfang.

After his brother Pengju got married, Chen Yuan's previous errand-based livelihood not only did not stagnate, but continued to expand because of the active participation of the bride of the Yue family.

As a result, the saved redemption money also became the capital for subsequent investment, and then the filial piety lady also took out her private pocket for many years and handed it to Chen Yuan in private, asking him to pay off all the debts he owed.

Because it was a request of the Zhenfu Mansion, the Qunyulou side did not want to release it as usual, but the icing on the cake was like a wedding, and sent the clothes and jewelry together with the cage.

But she made an unexpected move at the beginning, selling her gorgeous hairpin skirts at a discount to pay off her private debts, and taking them out to help her husband's amateur business.

Then after washing all the lead, he lived, sewed and washed with his own hands like ordinary military women, and ate the food from the big canteen; Occasionally, he also asked people to buy some vegetables and cook the hard and simple life, which also made Chen Yuan's last worry about Brother Pengju be pressed to the bottom of his heart.

And after Congliang, Jiao'e, the popular lady of the Jade Building, also showed an unknown business acumen and a unique skill, and she even thought of asking Brother Pengju to come forward and organize military families with similar identities together to formulate articles of association, and cooperate to borrow money from the public to expand the business.

Although the benefits are generally diluted, the risks and investments are also greatly reduced. Compared to Chen Yuan's previous exhaustion, as long as he has very little thought and attention, he can sit back and reap the benefits.

Then, with these additional gains, they used the members as the starting capital for mutual assistance among the officers' families, and quickly formed a small circle.

For example, send people to those places where a large number of survivors live, search for all kinds of food in their hometowns, and then screen out the types that have a small investment cost and can be sold quickly, as one of the contents of business development.

All in all, in terms of making reasonable use of the convenience and opportunities of the rules, this new sister-in-law has a unique vision, and her carefulness and thoroughness as a woman also made Chen Yuan a little embarrassed, but also a little convinced.

It can be said that there is both some joy and some loss. Fortunately, Brother Pengju seems to have received a good help, but he is a little lost and melancholy, and the other party seems to be able to help Brother Pengju more than himself.

But in any case, Chen Yuan was able to free himself from the daily trivial affairs, and in addition to the practice of auditing, he concentrated on some of his daily inspections and kitchen quality control inspections, as well as searching for and tasting new dishes.

This time, the newly opened shop resells a variety of northland-style burritos and toppings.

The staple flatbread used to wrap rolls and side dishes comes in six flavors: potato flour, bean noodles, chestnut rice, coarse wheat, pole noodles and bud dregs. The most expensive and best wheat cakes are only a dozen yuan, and the cheapest potato flour is only a small green penny.

The side dishes are much richer, directly according to the meat and vegetables are loaded in several large buckets, for people to choose and take themselves, including fried cabbage, dried bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, taro shreds, fruit strips, lettuce; There are also pickled dill, pickled leeks, salted mustard, sour eggplant, pickled cabbage, pickled melon and other cold salted vegetables;

There is also a large pot of special chopped marinade, as well as stewed big fat meat, and cheap dogwood and old ginger, and an extra spoonful of oily green money that only costs five as ten.

Then the soup was dripping and rolled up, and the green onion white soup provided by the store for free was eaten at the wrong stomach.

On the other side, it sells southern-style noodle soup noodles.

The most conspicuous thing is that all kinds of white thick and thin vermicelli or yellowed wet and dry noodles are steamed in advance according to the weight of the human head, and are stacked on multiple sieve shelves.

Then, the soup pot is hot all day long, baked in the iron stove where the briquettes are burned, and the fire never breaks all day and night, and from time to time water is added and stirred, and the fragrant heat is steamed

The soup base is a cheap beef and sheep bone, and the old soup is used over and over again; The ingredients are scraps such as fascia and minced meat residues shaved from the skeleton of cattle and sheep, plus ** bonito jokes, aged bacon jerky with grashing silk, and seasoned dried straw mushrooms and bamboo shoots with miso and spicy seeds, making a big pot full of hot soup toppings.

When the visitors eat it by name,

Take a ball of vermicelli/dough, put it in a large pot of water heated over low heat, shake it and stir it a few times, then put it into a stoneware bowl, pour a large scoop full of soup in the pot, sprinkle with chopped green onion and celery, and you're done.

Just wait a few moments and you'll have a quick and easy hot meal.

Because of the proximity and the opposite business, there is no shortage of customers who point to each other, and then after being delivered by the guys, they have an excellent appetite to mix and match and enjoy slowly.

It would be even more pleasant to order a pot of hot shochu from a nearby sake brewery. And the total cost before and after is less than 100 words.

Even the most ordinary soldiers, or ordinary errand officials, are choices that can be consumed frequently.
