Early the next morning, Jiang Yan was drawing drawings in his office as usual.

When it was almost noon, there was a knock on the door, and the door was pushed open after Jiang Yan's permission.

Seeing this sweaty Xu Damao and his secretary, Jiang Yan was a little surprised!

It's not noon yet, and these people drove to Shili Township in the morning and came back so soon.

Before Jiang Yan could ask, Xu Damao said eagerly: "Something happened to the boss." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yan was shocked, and when he saw that He Yuzhu didn't come back, he secretly screamed in his heart, this product won't cause trouble for me! Fang Xia hurriedly asked Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, what's wrong, Pillar! Where did it go. ”

Xu Damao heard Jiang Yan asking He Yuzhu, and then looked at the anxiety on his face, he knew that his boss had misunderstood, and quickly opened his mouth to explain.

"Boss, the pillar is fine, I'm picking meat in Shili Township! We're coming back to ask for help. ”

Hearing Xu Damao say that He Yuzhu was fine, Jiang Yan's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Xu Damao, "What's wrong, you tell me clearly." ”

"This, this," Xu Damao couldn't speak.

"Xiao Gong, tell me what's wrong." Seeing that Xu Damao couldn't say why, Jiang Yan asked his secretary directly.

Hearing his leader ask, the secretary Xiao Gong thought about it and said directly: "Leader, that's the case, we drove to the township early in the morning today, the situation was quite smooth at the beginning, and the price of buying meat was also agreed. ”

"Originally, the blast furnace steelmaking in Shili Township has always been unqualified, Xu Damao told them that we are people from the research institute, specializing in steelmaking, and the steelmaking people reported to the leaders, and they asked if we could help solve the problem that the blast furnace could not train steel."

As soon as the secretary said this, Jiang Yan understood these things inside, needless to say, this Xu Damao bragged outside again, the key is that you brag and brag, which puts yourself in.

"Just find me something!" Thinking of this, Jiang Yan glared at Xu Damao, and when he saw Jiang Yan glaring at him, Xu Damao shrank his neck in fear.

may be because of his own crossing, the big pot of rice and steelmaking in this era is about half a year later than what he remembers.

Jiang Yan knew that these blast furnaces were almost all used as places for people to dig holes and build stones in the farmland on the hillside, as a place for making steel.

At that time, it was stipulated that each person had to complete a certain number of earthen blast furnaces every day, and sometimes there were many small earthen furnaces on the hillside fields overnight.

This kind of soil blast furnace has backward technology, too many impurities, and low temperature.

First of all, the common people used clay and bricks to build a small blast furnace at the foot of the mountain, used the iron items at home as raw materials, and burned the wood on the mountain into charcoal, so as to remove the excessive carbon in the iron, so that the carbon content was reduced and became steel. Due to the poor production conditions, the steel produced contains a lot of impurities, the standards of carbon are different, there are no professional tools, the bubble content in the steel is too large, the structural strength is low, the quality of the steel is of course very poor, the hardness and elasticity are not standard enough, and it cannot be used in construction and other aspects. The total amount has gone up, the quality has come down, and a lot of natural resources, labor, and the environment have been greatly damaged.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yan asked directly.

"Do they just say they can make steel? There is no requirement for steel. ”

Hearing Jiang Yan ask, the secretary shook his head, "No, it's just that it's okay to practice it." ”

Hearing the secretary's words, Jiang Yan put his mind at ease and thought about it in his heart at the same time.

After thinking about it again and again, there was no answer, so I could only go to the scene to take a look.

Jiang Yan cleaned up the things on his desk, got up and said to Xu Damao and them angrily: "Let's go!" Check it out and see if you can fix it. ”

"Boss, it's really not that I'm greedy, the mayor of the hometown said that as long as we can help them train out the steel, we will buy the unplanned materials in their township at that time."

In the car, Xu Damao explained to Jiang Yan.

"Okay, I don't need to explain, I'll take care of my mouth outside in the future, what should I say and what I shouldn't say you haven't counted in your heart?"

"In the future, you will give me money to heat things, do you know?"

Hearing Jiang Yan say this, the stone in Xu Damao's heart finally fell, knowing that his boss was not angry with him.

said in a swishing tone: "I understand the boss, I understand, I won't brag anymore." ”

After coming out of Sijiu City, Jiang Yan, who was sitting in the car, smelled a pungent smell, and he didn't need to think about it to know that this smell was the smell of steel from the earth blast furnace.

From time to time, Tian Ye could see where the homemade blast furnace was standing, spitting black smoke.

The car was walking on the road, and through the window, Jiang Yan saw that there were ox carts on the road outside, and there was an endless stream of horse-drawn carts pulling ore.

Because there were too many convoys, Jiang Yan's jeep slowed down.

It wasn't until it was almost a little faster that I arrived in front of the gate of Shili Township Commune.

As soon as the car stopped, Xu Damao pulled the door and walked down. After a while, I saw Xu Damao hurriedly coming over with a few people.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the Maxiang Township of Shili Township, and Ma has wealth."

"Township Chief Ma, this is Jiang Yan, the chief engineer of our research institute."

Hearing that Jiang Yan was the chief engineer, Ma Youcai was quite enthusiastic, and he took Jiang Yan's hand as soon as Jiang Yan got out of the car.

"Welcome leaders to our township to guide the work, quickly, quickly, please inside, inside."

According to state regulations, this township chief is also a department-level cadre, and now state-owned enterprises are not separated, and this township chief is half a level higher than Xu Damao, a ministerial-level cadre, and two levels lower than Jiang Yan.

It stands to reason that such a small project doesn't need Jiang Yan to come in person at all, just send a technician, who said that Jiang Yan doesn't have a few soldiers in his hands now, and he can only go into battle in person, this is really using anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes.

"The leader hasn't eaten all the way! It just so happened that a few cows were tired to death today, and this will just be stewed, so let's eat first, eat first. Ma Youcai was very enthusiastic and took Jiang Yan and them into the canteen.

I was indeed a little hungry along the way, so I listened to her and walked to the cafeteria first.

Originally, Jiang Yan thought that there would be fewer people after the meal, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the cafeteria, he found that it was still crowded.

"We only have this one canteen here, and everyone eats in batches." Ma Youcai, who came over, explained.

Then Jiang Yan was shocked by the scene inside, the men and women were all elated, this one person was holding a big bowl, and what was even more outrageous was that they had white-flour steamed buns on their chopsticks.

Jiang Yan felt that he was hallucinating because of his old eyes, and rubbed his eyes to see that it was still a white-flour steamed bun.

You know, it's good that the people in Sijiu City can eat enough now, and they still have white-flour steamed buns, that's just thinking about it, the food in this rural canteen is so good now, Jiang Yan is full of doubts in his heart.
