The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

Yang Xiaotao came to the chemical factory and personally presided over the Meihua brand soap production ceremony.

There were also Chen Gong and Sun Guo who came together, in addition to the directors of the two slaughterhouses, plus the people from the machinery factory and the chemical factory, and the voices were full of voices.

With the end of the preparations, Yang Xiaotao did not speak, came to the production workshop, under the attention of everyone, pressed the mixer switch, with the rumbling sound, the chemical plant officially produced Meihua brand soap.

The surrounding workers continue to put the collected grease into the mixer, under the action of chemical reagents, the temperature rises and reacts quickly, and then the reaction solution is quickly cooled down by condensation, and after some processing, it gradually forms a solid strip.

Driven by a rolling machine, these solid strips are quickly cut into pieces of soap by the machine under the drive of three conveyor belts.

Then it's time to move on to the next pot.

Half an hour later, the first piece of soap engraved with a plum blossom pattern came off the conveyor belt.

Applause immediately erupted in the surroundings.

Yes, plum soap.

After Yang Xiaotao said about looking for spices, Xu Yuanshan immediately sent someone to inquire after he came back, and they really found it.

This spice was a women's business before liberation, and after liberation, it became a small public-private joint venture after some transformation.

Although it is only a small workshop, it is not a problem to supply spices to chemical plants.

What's more, in order to save costs, Xu Yuanshan and they were reluctant to invest too much.

Even so, this first cut plum soap smells faintly fragrant.

This aroma is much quieter than applying alabaster.

Yang Xiaotao personally put the first piece of soap in wrapping paper, and then wrote the words "the first soap of Hongxing Machinery Factory" on it, and marked the time below, and then handed it to Lou Xiao'e for careful safekeeping.

This was instructed by Yang Youning before he came, saying that it was to be put in the memorial hall.

As for why he didn't come, he was called to a meeting at the First Aircraft Department again.

I heard that there has been progress in Yanzhou, and the place has been chosen, and people will be summoned to lay the foundation in the spring of next year.

They went to the meeting to prepare for the construction of the factory.

As for Liu Huaimin, he also went to the first machine department, but not for this, but the factory in the northwest has been selected, and the progress needs to be coordinated.

They also wanted to confirm what machines were needed for the branch plant.

In this regard, Liu Huaimin listened to Yang Xiaotao's advice and prepared to produce the Red Star tractor

It has been transferred to the northwest, as for the follow-up production of tricycles or large tractors, it depends on the contact between the Ministry of Commerce and the surrounding member countries!

The tricycle has been made, and now it is being experimented, and the follow-up production line and related personnel are being deployed.

The research and development of large tractors has also come to an end, and it is estimated that it will be assembled in two days.

Finally, on the issue of the development of armored vehicles, the three also have a clear division of labor, and the leader is naturally Yang Xiaotao.

After all, it is a task specially assigned by the superiors, even if it cannot be completed, you must have a serious attitude.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao also has his own plans.

Thinking of what may happen in the future, the North and the South are restless, and naturally more and better weapons are needed.

I obviously have drawings of an eight-cylinder powerful engine, why should I cherish myself?

Why not take a bigger step?

So, go to her mother's four-cylinder engine, Yang Xiaotao directly went to the eight-cylinder one.

For this reason, Yang Xiaotao studied the drawings in the study in the past two nights.

With previous experience, the study went very well.

Yang Xiaotao planned to wait for those experts to come, and then talk.

Yang Xiaotao feels that this year is really busy!

"Mr. Yang!"

Lou Xiao'e beside her reminded her, pulling Yang Xiaotao's thoughts back to reality.

Seeing that Xu Yuanshan and several people were looking at him, Yang Xiaotao smiled, "There are too many things, and I am a little distracted." ”

Xu Yuanshan sighed in his heart.

Today's machinery factory is gaining momentum.

But correspondingly, there will be no less things, and there will be no less pressure.

Especially now, not to mention Daystar, as an important part of the Gemini plan, the chemical plant is about to start petrochemical industry, which naturally involves a lot of energy.

The chemical plant alone is like this, and the machinery factory has a steel plant in addition to this, and it also has to help Yanzhou build a steel plant, and it has to cooperate with the northwest, and I heard that there are actions in steelmaking.

None of these things are simple, and each of them is an important burden in their eyes.

Pressed on his shoulders, even he felt heavy.

Looking at Yang Xiaotao's slightly immature face, but he looked mature, which made Xu Yuanshan feel a little touched in his heart, the child who was reading in the corner of the workshop back then had grown up!

"Rest when you're tired, this thing is not done!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled when he heard it, "I know!" ”

"But there are some things that cannot be stopped after they have been done, and only by constantly moving forward can we maintain the current momentum."

"Otherwise, it's just that this breath is gone, and it will be difficult to bring it up again."

Xu Yuanshan was relieved, "Don't worry, isn't there still Lao Liu and Lao Yang." ”

"yes, so I don't think about it, when will I go to your house for another drink!"

Yang Xiaotao changed the topic and approached Xu Yuanshan with a smile.

"You kid, when are you going to use it? Just come! ”

"Haha, then, I'll take my wife and children to pay you New Year's greetings in two days."

"Come, come, there will be no shortage of red envelopes..."

The two of them talked happily, and the people around them were envious.

envy Yang Xiaotao's chances, envy Yang Xiaotao's ability, and envy Xu Yuanshan's good luck.

As long as Yang Xiaotao does not make mistakes, he is so young and has a bright future in the future.

Xu Yuanshan's relationship with him shows how helpful it will be in the future.

While the two were talking, the machine didn't stop.

Pieces of soap are extruded by a machine, quickly grabbed by workers on a conveyor belt, and then placed in a box, glued together, and then placed in a basket behind them.

At this speed, Yang Xiaotao estimates, four to six pieces can come out in a minute, and if the speed is faster, more workers will be needed.

At this rate, if there are enough raw materials, you can make at least five or six thousand yuan a day from morning to night.

Removing other reasons, with the existing raw materials, it can also produce thousands per day.

This is much more efficient than a chemical plant.

Thinking of this number, Yang Xiaotao was looking forward to how many soaps could be made in this pot in the end.

"Some of these people are family members of workers, and this time they came to help!"

Xu Yuanshan looked at a row of female workers sitting on both sides of the conveyor belt, busy seriously, and stepped forward to say.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, looked at it carefully for a while, and then shook his head, "Uncle Xu, it's not a way to go on like this." ”

"This is only one production line, and in the future, there will be three or four lines, and the production of soap will only increase, and more manpower will be needed."

"Our comrades in the chemical plant have tasks, and this kind of work should try not to involve too much energy."

"I think it's possible to recruit some idle women to be in charge of packaging production. In the future, I will be regarded as an employee of our machinery factory! ”

Xu Yuanshan nodded, "I think so too." ”

The two did not shy away from the people around them, and when several women around them heard it, their eyes widened and they passed the news to each other.

As a result, the news of the chemical plant's recruitment of female workers had already spread outside the factory before Yang Xiaotao left.

"The factory director, Mr. Yang, has calculated it."

At noon, Director Li ran over with a detailed list and a smile on his face.

"How much?"

"Factory director, according to our calculations, one pound of grease can make two pounds of soap. This is 30% higher than the output of the first chemical plant, and our color is clearer, and there is no abnormality after testing. ”

Director Li excitedly handed the report to Xu Yuanshan.

"Our mixer can only put 800 catties of grease at a time, and this time a total of 1,748 pieces were produced."

"Director Li, how many raw materials are there now, and how long will it take for you to wait between them?"

"Mr. Yang, from the beginning to the end of each production, it takes about two hours."

"However, it takes a lot of time to clean the mixer each time, and it is estimated that it will take half an hour."

Director Li said, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"In this way, Uncle Xu, adjust the mold and reduce the size of the soap by one percent, so that the efficiency will increase a lot."

"When the salary is paid at the end of the year, you have to make up the amount."

Xu Yuanshan nodded when he heard this, knowing that this was to be distributed to the workers as benefits.

The women around me listened and became more enthusiastic about entering the machine factory.

Outside the city.

With a gunshot, a figure lay on the ground.

On the other side, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu came to him tremblingly, endured the vomiting in their hearts, cleaned up the 'big brother', and finally directly picked firewood and burned it to ashes not far away.

"Let's go, your destination is the northwest."

There was the shouting of the guards beside him, and the heart-rending cry of the second aunt behind him.

The two glanced at each other, stepped forward, pulled the second aunt up, and then followed behind the guard.

They're leaving today.

Come here, too.

At 3 p.m., after eating, the witnesses were ready to go home.

Of course, everyone was carrying a cloth bag, and inside was freshly made plum soap.

Yang Xiaotao sat in the car, and a whole box of soap was placed in the back, which was full, exactly one hundred.

Back at the machinery factory, Yang Xiaotao came to Yang Youning with the first piece of soap, but as soon as he entered the door, he heard a cough from inside.

There was a clear trilling in his voice, like an old man who had been ill for a long time.

"Uncle Yang, what's wrong?"

"I guess it's frozen, the stove at home is hot, and it's cold when it comes out, one hot and one cold, cough cough, it's cold."

Yang Youning didn't catch a cold a few days ago, and now the weather is getting cold again, knocking him down again.

"You also have to pay attention, in our family home, many children have also been infected, and this stubble is very bad."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao briefly talked about the plum blossom soap in the chemical factory, and Yang Youning said yes again and again.

also agreed with Yang Xiaotao's suggestion to add plum soap to the New Year's benefits.

Immediately, Yang Xiaotao handed the first piece of soap to Yang Youning and turned to leave.

As for the hundred yuan brought back, it was handed over to Chen Gong.

When Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard, he also heard a lot of coughing, and some people even kept coughing.

He knew that winter was the season of frequent diseases, especially the flu, which came quietly but broke out suddenly.

Yang Xiaotao was worried, and hurried home to check on his wife and daughter.

I found that there was no problem at home, so I was relieved.

It's just that the next day, when there is only one day left before the Chinese New Year, Yang Xiaotao realized how widespread the flu was this time.

As soon as I woke up in the morning, I heard the loudspeaker of the street office announcing the flu situation, calling on everyone to gather less, go to crowded places less, and carry out cleaning and sanitation activities.

Yang Xiaotao gave masks to Ran Qiuye and the others, and also asked them to go out less.

At this moment, I don't know who came out with the news that the soap produced by the Red Star Chemical Factory can effectively prevent the flu, which made people who didn't know about it inquire one after another.
