Time flickered, and half a month passed.

Xu Wanning has not been idle for the past half a month, and has been studying how to make canned food.

She knows the steps of making cans very well, and she has solved the problem of the glass jars outside.

But there is also a big problem, the lack of a machine that can vacuum and screw the cap of the can.

Fortunately, in her previous life, in addition to studying cooking, Xu Wanning's favorite thing was to read all kinds of books, and she had an excellent memory.

It just so happened that she had seen in a book on history and wild history, the first generation of canned food production methods.

It was only the 19th century, and it was possible to make cans in the years when industry was not developed, and it is definitely possible now!

Xu Wanning took out a pen and paper and began to sit at the table to write and draw.

She had to draw the machine she had in mind for the first generation of cans.

Although the machine has become more and more usable after many improvements, the materials are obviously not enough now, and she is afraid that it is too complicated, and no one can make it for the time being.

As long as the canned food can be made, after seeing the finished product, it will definitely set off a storm, and then she will take the opportunity to propose to improve the machine, I believe that the leader will approve it, and will help.

"Whew, it's finally done. Xu Wanning moved her sour and stiff shoulders and neck, and when she looked up suddenly, she saw Da Chun's younger sister leading Yuan Xin to stand at the door of her room.

"Why are you here?"

"I was looking for something to do with you, and I didn't bother when I saw that you were busy. ”

"Quick, come in and sit. ”

"Da Chun'er, bring you Aunt Yuan a cup of hot water. ”

Yuan Xin glared at Xu Wanning: "What's your name aunt, I'm still an unmarried girl, it's almost the same as calling my sister." ”

Xu Wanning gave her a small white eye: "Yes, as long as you don't mind that I'm a generation older than you." ”

Yuan Xin: "......"

"When I didn't say it!"

Da Chun brought hot water, and my sister took a plate and filled some fried pine nuts: "Auntie eat." ”

"Thank you, Sister Dachun. Yuan Xin took out two toffees from his pocket and gave them to the two children.

The two children did not refuse, but looked at Xu Wanning at the same time, and after seeing Xu Wanning nodding, they took the toffee and thanked them in a milky voice: "Thank you, auntie." ”

Yuan Xin breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid of being rejected again.

Xu Wanning couldn't help but smile when she saw this scene.

Da Chun and his sister are very clever. Xu is the reason why the original body used to be extremely bad to them, causing them to be very good at reading people's faces.

When Yuan Xin came for the first time, she had a feeling that the visitor was not good, and she had just come in a book and couldn't figure out the situation, so she had a bad attitude towards Yuan Xin.

But last time Yuan Xin came to report the news and asked Lin An to rush to save Xu Wanning, so the children always felt that they owed Yuan Xin a favor.

In addition, they could keenly feel that Xu Wanning's attitude towards Yuan Xin was different, so they did not refuse the candy she gave this time.

The brother and sister took the candy and went out, and Da Chun closed the door very considerately.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

"I'd like to exchange some sugar tickets with you. ”

"Huh?"

"I heard about the construction of a branch factory in the village, to be honest, I also want to work in the factory, it doesn't matter if the salary is not paid, the main thing is that I don't want to work in the field anymore to earn work. But I'm an educated youth, and it's not easy to get in, so I want to buy something and walk through the back door of the captain and the village chief. ”

"Don't worry, I have money, I'll exchange it at the same price, and it doesn't matter if I even give a little more money. ”

"You think I'm missing your money?"

Xu Wanning snorted coldly, but still took out the money ticket from the drawer.

"You can buy two catties of brown sugar and two catties of fruit candy, is it enough?"

In these years, sugar is a rare and expensive thing, and a pound of brown sugar and fruit candy is enough for a family. In addition, she has prepared other things, which she can definitely handle.

"Enough, enough!" Yuan Xin took out the money and gave it to her: "Oh, this is two yuan, is it enough to exchange sugar tickets?"

Xu Wanning looked at the money that Yuan Xin put on the table and pursed her lips, "You say, is there a possibility, even if you give a gift, the captain and the village chief can't let you enter the factory?"

At the brigade headquarters that day, President Chen of the commune had already handed over the right to choose people to Xu Wanning.

In other words, only after passing Xu Wanning's pass, can you enter the factory.

After all, she is an "outsider", she knows the people of Dajiang Village, but she is not familiar with it, there are not too many contradictions, and she is not too close to anyone, so she will be more fair in choosing people.

Yuan Xin also heard that the leader from Beijing City was Xu Wanning's brother, and listening to her tone, it seemed that there was something else going on here.

Yuan Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said tentatively: "If I give you the gifts prepared for the captain and the village chief, can you let me enter the factory?"

"Ahem!" Xu Wanning held a hollow fist in her hand, put it to her lips and faked a cough, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she smiled: "I am very fair, and I resolutely put an end to such a thing as going through the back door, so even if you give me more gifts......, it is useless!"

She changed her words and saw that Yuan Xin's curiosity was aroused, so she continued: "In addition to the workers on the assembly line, there are also positions that require academic qualifications, such as cashiers and accountants who need to keep accounts, I think you can try it." ”

Yuan Xin's eyes lit up, "Just like I will!"

"Well, then you can prepare in advance, it is estimated that when spring begins in March, it will almost start recruiting. ”

Hearing Xu Wanning say this, Yuan Xin's heart finally fell back into her stomach.

"Then this sugar ticket ......"

Xu Wanning grabbed it and put it in the drawer, "Since you don't have to give gifts, you definitely won't need the sugar ticket, right?"

Yuan Xin pouted.

Who said you have to give a gift to use the sugar stamps? Can't she buy them for herself? I wonder how nervous the sugar stamps are now?

"By the way, I revealed such important news to you, and the courtesy is still exchanged, should you also help me?"

"You say. Yuan Xin sat upright.

She is most afraid of owing favors to others, and the news revealed by Xu Wanning vaguely can help her a lot, but she can't reciprocate? Rather than thinking about how to repay herself, it is better to give Xu Wanning the right to decide.

"You still have a little goldfish there, right?"

"What are you going to do?" Yuan Xin looked at Xu Wanning vigilantly.

She's already separated, so why bother with what she has in her hands!

"Your little goldfish is not easy to exchange on the black market, is it? In this situation, to exchange the little goldfish for money will only greatly reduce its value, am I right?"

Yuan Xin was silent.

The small goldfish she found from the table hole was two or two heavy, but in the black market, it could only be exchanged for ten yuan.

None of them are worth a fraction of their value.

But the current market is like this, and she is not easy to save, rather than worrying about being found out and stolen all day long, it is better to exchange it for money.
