Siheyuan starts from a good life

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

At almost noon, there was a knock on the door, and with Jiang Yan's permission, the door was pushed open.

Jiang Yan was a little surprised to see Xu Damao and his secretary who were sweating profusely!

Looking at the watch, it's not yet noon. 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."

Jiang Yan was shocked when he heard this. Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't come back, he secretly yelled, "This guy won't cause trouble for me!" Fang Xia quickly asked Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, what happened? Where's Zhu Zhu! Where did he go?"

When Xu Damao heard Jiang Yan asking He Yuzhu, and seeing the anxiety on his face, he knew that his boss had misunderstood, so he quickly explained.

"Boss, Zhuzi is fine. He is picking meat in Shili Township! We are back here to ask for help."

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

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

"Xiao Gong, tell me what's going on." Seeing that Xu Damao couldn't give a reason, Jiang Yan asked his secretary directly.

Hearing his leader's question, secretary Xiao Gong thought for a while and said directly: "Boss, that's it. We drove to the countryside early today. Things went quite smoothly at the beginning, and the price of the meat was agreed upon. Yes, Director Xu saw the small blast furnace in the village when he was walking around the village, and started chatting with the steel-making people."

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

As soon as the secretary said this, Jiang Yan understood the things inside. Needless to say, Xu Damao was bragging again outside. The key is that you are bragging, and you are pretending to be himself.

"Just find something for me!" Thinking of this, Jiang Yan glared at Xu Damao. Seeing Jiang Yan glare at him, Xu Damao shrank in fear.

Perhaps because of his time travel, the big pot meal and steelmaking in this era were about half a year later than he remembered.

Jiang Yan knew about the earthen blast furnaces of this period. These blast furnaces were almost always people digging holes in the earth and building furnaces with stones in farmland on the hillside, as a place for making steel.

At that time, it was stipulated that each person must complete a certain number of earthen furnaces every day. Sometimes small earthen furnaces were dotted on the hillside farmland overnight.

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

First of all, the common people used clay and bricks to build small blast furnaces at the foot of the mountain. They used iron items at home as raw materials, burned wood from the mountain into charcoal, and removed the excessive carbon in the iron to reduce the carbon content. steel. Due to the crude production conditions, the steel produced contains many impurities, the carbon added is of different standards, there are no professional tools, the bubble content in the steel is too large, and the structural strength is low. Of course, the quality of the steel produced is very poor, with poor hardness and elasticity. If it is not standard enough, it cannot be used in construction and other aspects. The total quantity has gone up, but the quality has gone down, and a lot of natural resources and labor have been wasted, which has caused great damage to the environment.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yan asked directly.

"Did they just say that you can make steel? There is no requirement for steel."

Hearing Jiang Yan's question, the secretary shook his head, "No, I just said you can practice it."

After hearing the secretary's words, Jiang Yan felt relieved and thought about it in his heart.

After much thinking, I still had no answer, so I could only go to the scene and take a look.

Jiang Yan packed up the things on his desk, stood up, and said angrily to Xu Damao and the others: "Let's go! Go take a look and see if we can solve this problem."

"Boss, it's not that I'm greedy. The head of his hometown said that as long as we can help them make steel, we will buy all the unplanned materials for their hometown."

In the car, Xu Damao explained to Jiang Yan.

"Okay, no need to explain. From now on, you should keep your mouth shut outside. Don't you know what to say and what not to say?"

"From now on, you can give me hot things with your money, do you understand?"

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

He said in a mean tone: "I understand, boss, I understand, I won't brag anymore."

After coming out of Sijiucheng, Jiang Yan, who was sitting in the car, smelled a pungent smell. He didn't need to think about it to know that this smell was the smell of steel produced in a blast furnace.

From time to time, Ye Tianjian can see a homemade blast furnace standing there, spitting out black smoke.

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

Because there were too many convoys, Jiang Yan and his jeep slowed down.

It wasn't until a little later that we arrived at the gate of Shili Township Commune.

As soon as the car stopped, Xu Damao opened the door and walked out. After a while, Xu Damao hurried over with a few people.

"Mr. Jiang, this is Ma Xiangxiang from Shili Township. Ma Youcai."

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

When he heard that Jiang Yan was the chief engineer, Ma Youcai was very enthusiastic and held Jiang Yan's hand as soon as he got off the car.

"Welcome leaders to come to our township to guide work. Hurry, please come in, please come in."

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

Logically speaking, there is no need for Jiang Yan to come personally to such a small project. He can just send a technician. But now that Jiang Yan doesn't have many soldiers, he can only go into battle in person. This is really killing mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns.

"The leader hasn't eaten yet! It just so happens that a few cows were exhausted today. The stew has just been finished. Let's eat first. Let's eat first." Ma Youcai enthusiastically led Jiang Yan and the others into the cafeteria.

I did feel a little hungry after walking all this way, so I listened to her and walked to the cafeteria first.

Jiang Yan originally thought that there would be fewer people there after dinner time, but when he arrived at the cafeteria, he found that it was still crowded.

"We only have this canteen here, and everyone eats in batches." Ma Youcai, who was following, explained.

Then Jiang Yan was shocked by the scene inside. The men and women inside were all in high spirits. This person was holding a big bowl. What was even more outrageous was that there were white-flour steamed buns stuck on their chopsticks.

Jiang Yan felt that he was hallucinating because of his presbyopia. He rubbed his eyes and looked over. It was still a white-flour steamed bun.

You know, it's good that the people in Sijiu City can have enough to eat now, and they also have white flour and steamed buns. That's just a thought. The food in the country canteen is so good now, Jiang Yan is full of doubts.
