Chapter 172

Xiao Yan showed a playful expression on his face. "Thank you for the compliment, but this dish is for us on the road, so I can't treat you to it now."

Xiao Yan's study of this dish is not just for his own appetite. He knows that there is no convenience food in this era, but there is a huge demand for it; in the vast frontier of the motherland, there are still many places with inconvenient transportation. If you let them eat street food, wouldn't it help them better defend their motherland?

Xiao Yan thought to himself. "Next time I see Director Yan, I must mention this to him."

When they arrived at Zhending, the originally clear sky suddenly darkened, and then there was a downpour of rain.

Xiao Yan and the others stayed in a hotel near the branch factory, and Director Gao received a temporary notice to return to the main factory immediately.

Officer Gao asked Xiao Yan and Liang Ladi to go back after finishing their official business, and hurried away after explaining a few words.

The next morning, Xiao Yan and Liang Ladi came to the branch factory.

As soon as he entered the workshop, the branch leader led the employees to welcome Xiao Yan. "Master Xiao, we have been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally we have you here!"

Everyone applauded together, and the atmosphere was warm.

"Master Xiao, I have heard about your deeds. You are a great god in my heart. May I have the honor to shake hands with you?" The branch leader responded.

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand, and the branch leader held his hand tightly. "Thank you, Master Xiao, you are the pride of our working class, you are our role model!"

"Thank you for your praise!"

"You really deserve it!" The branch leader said to Xiao Yan. "When the big shaft bends, our whole factory will stop working."

"Oh, so you all think of me." Xiao Yan smiled playfully.

"Yes, we are sure that no one can straighten the axis. Looking at the main factory, only you can do it." The leader of the branch factory nodded. "Even in the entire metallurgical system, everyone knows your name!"

Everyone was talking.

"Yes, Master Xiao's name is like thunder!"

"That's right, who doesn't know that as long as Master Xiao takes action, there is no problem that cannot be solved."

Xiao Yan smiled and said nothing.

The branch leader presented a bottle of fine wine. "Master Xiao, a small gift is not a tribute, you can take it."

"Straighten the big shaft, just straight the big shaft, why are you doing this?" Xiao Yan evaded.

"You just accept it, this is our little wish." The leader of the branch factory stuffed it into Xiao Yan's purse.

"As the saying goes, obedience is worse than respect, I accept it." Xiao Yan pointed at Liang Ladi. "This is my apprentice."

Everyone applauded.

"Where is the big shaft?" Xiao Yan asked.

The branch leader made a gesture. "Here it is."

Immediately, he stepped forward to lead the way, and Xiao Yan asked. "Tell me, what's going on?"

"When the furnace was turned on, this position was crowded!" The branch leader explained to Xiao Yan.

"Okay, you all retreat." Xiao Yan waved his hand.

The branch leader called on everyone to retreat. "Stand back, don't affect Master Xiao!"

Only Xiao Yan and Liang Ladi were left at the scene, Xiao Yan asked Liang Ladi to step forward and carefully observe her movements.

He lowered his head and bent over to look carefully at both ends of the big shaft, and asked. "What's the room temperature?"

"According to your order, it has been adjusted to 23 degrees."

Xiao Yan had a cigarette in his mouth and took a puff. "Have you backed off?"

"It's over, it's all ready."

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Liang Ladi. "Give me Hammer Number Three."

He took the hammer and hit it a few times, and then changed to the No. [-] hammer and continued to hit.

Xiao Yan received the problem, he threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out, then raised the hammer high, and made a final decision.

Immediately, Xiao Yan opened the door with a confident expression on his face. "Go in and have a look."

The crowd cheered. "The major axis is straight."

Liang Ladi looked at Xiao Yan with admiration in her eyes.

"Master Xiao, you are really my reborn parents!" The branch leader said excitedly. "I invite Master Xiao to drink today, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

**
This meal lasted until the evening, and there was a battle of wheels in the branch factory, toasting to Xiao Yan and Liang Ladi in turn, even Xiao Yan was a bit overwhelmed by his drinking capacity.

The branch leaders showed concern. "Master Xiao, do you want to find some people to see you off?"

"No, the guest house is nearby." Xiao Yan shook his head and refused.

The two staggered forward.

Liang Ladi said with a smile. "This wine is such a good thing. When I drink it, I walk like stepping on cotton."

"I think you drank too much."

"You just drank too much." Liang Ladi retorted.

"If you haven't drunk too much, walk over and let me have a look." Xiao Yan responded.

Liang Ladi staggered forward. "I walk straight."

The two smiled at each other.

"Let me open your eyes this time." Xiao Yan said after a moment's pause. "You said that I have this ability, how can I teach you easily?"

Liang Ladi gave him a blank look. "Master, I just want to learn from you."

Xiao Yan remained silent.

Liang Ladi continued to pester. "Master, just teach me."

Before Xiao Yan could speak, Liang Ladi spoke again. "Hurry up and get rid of me."

"What did you just say, didn't you hear clearly?" Xiao Yan asked.

Liang Ladi repeated it again.

"What are you talking about, are you stupid?" Xiao Yan responded.

While the two were talking and laughing, it suddenly rained heavily. The two of them didn't wear rain gear, and they were soaked instantly.

"As the saying goes, there are unpredictable things in the sky! Let's find a place to shelter from the rain." Liang Ladi suggested.

"Ok."

They found a tiny workshop in a remote location.

Liang Ladi asked. "Is there anyone in there?"

Xiao Yan responded after observing for a long time. "Nobody, the windows can be pushed open."

Immediately, he climbed in through the window from the outside.

"Master, be careful, don't fall down."

"I know."

With Xiao Yan's help, Liang Ladi also came in, and Xiao Yan pushed the window close immediately.

There is a coal stove in the middle of the workshop, and a kettle is placed on the coal stove.

Liang Ladi showed a surprised expression. "Master, the coal stove is still hot, come and warm your hands."

Her whole body was soaked by the rain. "It was fine just now, why did it suddenly rain heavily?"

"Women are most afraid of catching a cold, so you have to be careful."

Liang Ladi took off her coat and put it next to the coal stove to bake. "I was born with cold hands and feet. My mother often said that women with cold hands and feet are not blessed, and no one will hurt when they grow up."

Xiao Yan paused for a moment and then stepped forward, holding her hand with both hands.

Liang Ladi lowered her head shyly.

"Lady, you are so beautiful!" Xiao Yan stared at her.

"Master, if you teach me the ability to straighten the axis, I will give you everything!" Liang Ladi raised her head.

"Is this true?"

"Exactly!"

Xiao Yan couldn't help holding her in his arms.

After he paused for a moment, he let go of Liang Ladi and turned around to leave.

Liang Ladi hugged him tightly from behind.

"Let go of me, I'm not that kind of person!" Xiao Yan persuaded.

"I know, in my heart, you are not only my master, but also the benefactor who saved my life several times. I have long wanted to give it to you." Liang Ladi didn't let go. "I just want to have fun for one night, isn't Master willing too?"

Xiao Yan hugged her by the waist.

That night, it was windy and rainy, and the room was full of spring.
