Chapter 171
"Master, when will you teach me to straighten the shaft?" Liang Ladi asked.

"Is that why you want to learn straight axis?" Xiao Yan responded.

"That's right, I want to be an eighth-level fitter, and I want to be a master like my master." Liang Ladi made no secret of her ambition in front of Xiao Yan.

"Zhi Daxie is not a sentence, it can be explained clearly in two sentences. I will tell you slowly when I have a chance in the future."

Xiao Yan tried to lift Liang Ladi's arm. "Can you still move?"

"Okay, but it hurts to lift it up!"

Xiao Yan continued to lift Liang Ladi's arm.

"Ouch, it hurts!" Liang Ladi moaned.

"It may be a fracture, but I'm not a professional doctor after all, you'd better go to the general factory hospital for an examination." Xiao Yan showed a concerned expression.

"Forget it, I can't take sick leave!" Liang Ladi shook her head. "If you ask for sick leave, the first-line subsidy will be gone, and the quota for this month will be reduced by five catties; the key is that if you take sick leave now, it will also affect the quarterly battle subsidy, which is six yuan."

"You go to the doctor, I will pay for these expenses for you." Xiao Yan promised.

"Master, you are so kind!" Liang Ladi smiled like a flower. "But I can't take your things."

Xiao Yan also knew that her family was in trouble, so she proposed several times to subsidize her, but Liang Ladi firmly refused to accept it.

Xiao Yan sighed and turned to leave; Liang Ladi held him back. "Master, you are a genius, do you know that there is something that can relieve alcohol?"

Xiao Yan showed a curious expression. "Yes, there is, but why do you want this?"

"Master, I fell this time." Liang Ladi showed a shy expression. "Those brats will definitely ask me to fight for wine."

"What, you fell and hurt yourself, and you still want to drink?"

"Master, I know this is a bit dangerous, but as the saying goes, do risks and benefits go hand in hand!" Liang Ladi explained. "Look at what a good opportunity to earn food stamps, I can't let it go!"

Liang Ladi pestered Xiao Yan bitterly, but Xiao Yan responded helplessly. "Drink a spoonful of oil before drinking. Soybean oil and peanut oil are the best, followed by rapeseed oil and sesame oil; but you must remember that you must drink raw oil. If you drink it, it will not be easy to get drunk if you drink with others. Already!"

"Oh, master, your move is good, but do you still want to use the oil? Is there any other substitute?" Liang Ladi asked Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan deliberately angered her. "Then try using engine oil, diesel, and lubricating oil, but I'm afraid your stomach can't stand it."

Liang Ladi was taken aback, and then she came to her senses. "Master, you are teasing me!"

"Apprentice, Master is reminding you not to risk your life too much. Talent is the most important thing. If people are gone, everything will be gone!" Xiao Yan persuaded.

"Okay, I understand." Liang Ladi nodded. "Master, I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute, I have something else to tell you."

"What is it?"

Xiao Yan said after a moment's pause. "Don't you want to learn how to straighten the big shaft? The big shaft of Zhending's branch factory is broken. I will go to Zhending in a few days. You can go with me."

"Okay, but it's just the two of us?" Liang Ladi lowered her head with a shy expression on her face.

"How is it possible? There is still a high-ranking officer in the Personnel Department who will go with us." Xiao Yan responded.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, Liang Ladi recovered from her injury, and she came to Xiao Yan to ask about the business trip.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan was reading with relish, and Liang Ladi asked with a curious expression. "Master, what book are you reading?"

"This book is called "Road Vegetable Collection"."

Liang Ladi shook her head. "What is road food, what kind of food is collected, I don't understand at all?"

"That's a long story to say." Xiao Yan responded.

Liang Ladi rested her chin on one hand and looked at Xiao Yan affectionately. "Master, I want to hear from you."

"This matter has to start from the former Qing Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court had a regulation that local people could not be officials in the local area. For example, if you are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you'd better go to Ganshan to be an official." Xiao Yan said eloquently.

"Why?" Liang Ladi showed a curious expression.

"The purpose of this is to prevent you from combining with the local township party and forces, and to prevent your family from becoming too big to be controlled by the court." Xiao Yan continued to talk after a moment's pause. "At that time, the imperial court also stipulated that all officials must visit the emperor before taking office; for example, if you are an official in Gansu and Shanxi, you will be transferred to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Regardless of the long distance, you must meet the emperor first, and you cannot go directly to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. take office."

"Is it so troublesome?"

"That's right, according to historical records, it took more than a year on the road from when I left office to when I saw him in office."

"So that's how Lu Cai came from." Liang Ladi nodded.

"Those high officials are not tired of fine food and delicate dishes. They can't always eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables on the road; the so-called road dishes are the cooks of those high official families in those days to cope with the long-distance resignation, appointment, and transfer. A series of dishes that have been studied and compared."

Xiao Yan continued to tell.

"The ancients were really wise."

"Road vegetables must meet three conditions. First, they must be delicious and nutritious. Second, they must be able to store for a long time. Usually, they must be prepared for three months."

"In ancient times, there were no preservatives. It is a bit difficult to achieve this goal!" Liang Ladi urged. "What's the other one?"

"Third, it should be easy to carry. If you sprinkle all the way, you will be finished halfway."

"Master, after listening to you for a long time, I'm hungry, can you cook some dishes?" Liang Ladi asked.

"Okay, master will cook three dishes for you first."

"Three ways?" Liang Ladi asked.

"Dried eggplant in oil, fried radish strips, and roasted cabbage."

"Okay, I have another chance to taste Master's handicraft!"

The next morning, they rolled over to the coach station.

There are waiters pushing dining carts to sell boxed meals. "I bought a box lunch. It's [-] cents a box. It's good and cheap. Welcome to taste it."

Liang Ladi's stomach wriggled and made a "gulu" sound.

Xiao Yan made a suggestion. "Officer Gao, can you buy some lunch?"

"Okay, then take two boxes."

Liang Ladi blocked it. "Just buy the staple food."

She got up and volunteered to negotiate with the waiter. "Master, can we not have vegetables, but only staple food."

The waiter frowned. "However, our staple food is not only for sale!"

"We don't just buy meals, we just save money for the organization because of business trips." Xiao Yan came forward to negotiate. "See if this works. Let's buy one dish and then a few more meals."

The waiter nodded after thinking for a moment. "Okay, you give me [-] cents, but you took three lunch boxes, and you have to charge [-] cents as a deposit."

"Okay, how much is the total?" Officer Gao took out banknotes from his purse.

"Fifty cents." The waiter took the banknote.

"How many cans do you want?" Xiao Yan asked.

"One, four, seven."

It turned out that they had prepared the road vegetables and put them in jars and numbered them.

Officer Gao instructed. "You give me an invoice, and I want to reimburse it."

"Okay, I'll give it to you later." The waiter responded.

They started to eat, and the stranger who was waiting next to the car rubbed over. "Comrade, where did you buy this dish, it smells so appetizing!"
