Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Once the crystal receiver is installed, the radio stations it can receive are fixed and cannot be changed.

He sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I'd better buy a radio for Ye Zi."

Hu Guangliang was about to deal with the abandoned ore machine when Li Xiaodong stepped forward.

"Guangliang, can you let me try?"

"Try it?" Hu Guangliang looked puzzled.

"You know that I have worked in the material store for three years. Practice makes perfect. If I can borrow your letter of introduction, maybe I can make a crystal receiver that can receive the Beijing radio station."

While Li Xiaodong was speaking, he picked up the ore machine and started debugging it while no one was noticing.

At this moment, the ten thousand times experience system takes effect. Li Xiaodong operating the ore machine once is equivalent to operating it tens of thousands of times.

Experience +1, experience +1, experience +1...

It was as if countless 'experiences' emerged above his head.

By the time Li Xiaodong put down the ore mining machine, he had been promoted to a senior ore mining machine expert.

This is the magic of the golden finger!

At this time, Hu Guangliang also reacted and forced a smile, "Brother Xiaodong, I know you mean well, but the ore machine cannot be assembled just by eyesight. In addition to rich experience, luck is also needed. I have tried hundreds of times, but didn't I lose face today?"

Lao Bai also agreed: "Don't waste your money, you might as well buy a few bottles of Arctic Ocean with that money."

He had no ill intentions, he just felt that Li Xiaodong was overestimating his own abilities.

The materials for assembling the ore machine are not expensive, costing only about five yuan.

However, Li Xiaodong was just a temporary worker and his clothes did not seem wealthy.

For an officer like him, five dollars is not something he can just throw away.

Li Xiaodong is very confident about this.

For a veteran like him who had assembled tens of thousands of ores, the concept of luck simply did not apply.

He insisted: "How can you know the result if you don't try it?"

Hu Guangliang knew that Li Xiaodong was not a reckless person, and seeing that he was so determined, he said no more.

He took out a piece of paper with an official seal from his canvas bag, and took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiaodong: "I'll pay this time."

Li Xiaodong did not take the money, but just took the manuscript paper and turned to walk towards the counter.

"Don't worry, I, Li Xiaodong, have always been reliable in doing things!"

The people behind him all curled their lips and thought to themselves: Bragging!

Who would think that the ore machine can be easily operated by ordinary people?

...

-------------------

When the saleswoman Sister Niu saw that Li Xiaodong wanted to buy materials for the ore-making machine, her eyes widened bigger than copper bells.

"Xiaodong, I have to advise you that things like mining machines are not something we can handle."

As a salesperson in a chemical materials store, Sister Niu often witnessed these radio enthusiasts squandering money and had repeatedly blamed them for not being smart enough.

I didn't expect that even Li Xiaodong would be confused today.

Is the obsession with assembling ore machines contagious?

Li Xiaodong felt warm in his heart at the concern of Sister Niu. He handed the letter of introduction to Sister Niu and said firmly, "Sister, don't worry. I, Li Xiaodong, know how to do things."

"Oh, why don't you listen to advice, kid!"

Sister Niu smiled bitterly and wrote out a bill. As she handed it to Li Xiaodong, she said loudly, "The total is five yuan and twenty-three cents. If you don't have the money, I'll have to tear up this bill."

In this era, sales clerks have a high status and once an order is placed, it is difficult to change it. The consequence is usually a beating and kicking out.

Li Xiaodong used to be the store’s gold medal bodyguard. He naturally understood Sister Niu’s good intentions, so he took out the money and handed it to her.

"Big sister, don't worry. I, Li Xiaodong, know how to do things."

Sister Niu was silent for a moment: "......"

It's only been a few days since we last met, how come this once honest child has suddenly become overly confident?

She muttered to herself, stamped the blue stamp, and handed the list to Li Xiaodong. Li Xiaodong skillfully carried the bamboo basket into the warehouse and soon returned with a full load.

Lao Bai was young and full of energy. He couldn't stand others showing off in front of him, so he shouted, "Everyone open your eyes and watch how Comrade Xiaodong assembles a crystal radio."

Isn’t it a fantasy to let junior high school graduates teach Tsinghua University students?

Although the students next to him did not make sarcastic remarks out of consideration for Li Xiaodong's face, the corners of their mouths were slightly raised, and they crossed their arms over their chests, looking like they were enjoying a good show.

Even Hu Guangliang, who supported Li Xiaodong, felt that it was not very reliable and planned to find an excuse to buy the "old crystal radio" at a low price.

However, when Li Xiaodong spread the materials on the table, Hu Guangliang's expression suddenly became serious and he became serious. The materials seemed to be placed randomly, but they were actually arranged in the order of installation.

Clues can be found from the details. Has this Li Xiaodong really assembled a mineral processing machine?

Just when Hu Guangliang was puzzled, Li Xiaodong's series of skillful operations left him stunned.

Usually people will calculate the line length accurately before installing a mineral machine and install it step by step. However, Li Xiaodong seemed relaxed, as if he already knew the positions of the components, and installed them on the wooden board continuously with a "click".

Lao Bai couldn't help laughing: "Hey, Xiaodong, the ore machine is a precision equipment. Are you ready to give up if you are so casual?"

Hu Guangliang saw something and glared at him: "Don't bother Xiaodong. Look at the components he installed. The position is extremely precise, isn't it?"

Lao Bai has always respected Hu Guangliang. Upon hearing this, he stopped smiling and focused all his attention on Li Xiaodong's quickly moving hands.

Soon, his expression became serious, his chin was supported by his elbow, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

In a moment, the originally bustling lounge fell silent, with only the slight sound of components being inserted.

The elder sister Niu, who was knitting a sweater, looked up. Although she was puzzled as to why the Tsinghua students were so quiet, she did not think much about it and continued knitting. Winter was approaching, and she hoped to knit a pair of wool socks for each child before the heavy snow fell.

At this moment, Li Xiaodong has entered a strange state. He does not need to think when installing components, and relies entirely on muscle memory.

Soon, it was time for the most critical and difficult step of ore installation.

Hu Guangliang could not help but clench his fists and grit his teeth. His failure just now was due to the wrong placement of the ore.

Li Xiaodong's previous steps were flawless.

As long as the ore is installed correctly, it may actually succeed.

He couldn't help but cheer for Li Xiaodong in his heart.

But the next second, he gasped.

because.

Li Xiaodong actually closed his eyes.

Not only that, he closed his eyes, but flexibly controlled the drill with his hands to accurately install the ore on the wooden board.

How dare he take such a risk!

Just when Hu Guangliang was about to remind him, Li Xiaodong pressed the button gently, and with a "click", the ore fell steadily into the slot.

The ore machine was finally assembled.

The noise that should have followed was slow to arrive.

Everyone was shocked.

When will assembling a mining machine become as easy as building a toy?

Li Xiaodong opened his eyes, looked at the surprised people, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with everyone? Quickly connect the line and test it?"

"Yeah, yes, yes, let's test it quickly!" Lao Bai quickly straightened his chin which was about to slip, picked up the antenna and connected it to the crystal machine.

After confirming that the interface was stable, Li Xiaodong pushed the ore machine towards Hu Guangliang: "Guangliang, you try it."

Faced with a work that almost looked like it was completed with his eyes closed, Hu Guangliang swallowed hard.

If this crystal receiver could work properly, these radio enthusiasts would be disgraced.

He pushed the button with trembling fingers, and a "hissing" sound of electricity came from the ore machine.

"Yeah, the line is fine."

Hu Guangliang raised his eyebrows and continued to turn the button to find the radio signal.

Soon, clear and pleasant audio came from the crystal machine.

"This is Beijing Radio Station, this is Beijing Radio Station, please enjoy..."

Beijing TV!

Hu Guangliang couldn't help but give Li Xiaodong a thumbs up: "I'm convinced!"

Li Xiaodong smiled and hinted: "Continue to search for other radio stations."

Hu Guangliang was stunned, then suddenly realized and said in disbelief: "Can this crystal receiver receive two radio stations?"

——In fact, later crystal radios can indeed receive multiple radio stations, but in that era, due to the effect of the ore, they could usually only receive one channel.

"Probably we can receive two, or even three." Li Xiaodong nodded firmly.

With ten thousand times of assembly experience and carefully selected ore, it is not uncommon to receive two radios.

"Two!" Hu Guangliang tried his best to suppress his inner ecstasy and continued to adjust the buttons.

Soon, a new sound came from the mineral receiver: "The waves of Honghu Lake are rolling..."

"It can actually receive two radio stations!" At this moment, Lao Bai couldn't help himself and stretched out his hand to turn the button: "Brother Guangliang, didn't Brother Xiaodong say that it can receive three stations? Help me find the third one."

Hu Guangliang, who was always generous, gently pushed Lao Bai's arm away: "Your hand is too strong, don't break the machine."

It’s not that he is stingy, but this crystal receiver is extremely important.

Even if it can only receive two channels and give them to Ye Zi, it will be enough to accompany her through the lonely years in the Northwest.

...

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Hu Guangliang quickly found the third radio station.

"Speaking of Guan Yu going out into battle, with a red face and long beard, a green dragon crescent blade, and a red rabbit horse... who is coming? Qin Qiong, holding a yellow horse, is coming forward, clanging... crackling, a fierce battle..."

Ha, it’s “Guan Gong Fights Qin Qiong” by the crosstalk master Mr. Zhang Jieyao.

Three radio stations!!

Hu Guangliang was so excited that he could hardly suppress his excitement. His joy was difficult to express in simple words, and it seemed as if every pore in his body was cheering.

"Great! I'm impressed. This crystal receiver can receive three radio stations. It may be the only one in the whole capital." Lao Bai couldn't help but applaud.

The two college students behind him also looked at Li Xiaodong with admiration in their eyes.

A junior high school student actually accomplished something that none of these talented students could do.

So awesome!

Hu Guangliang took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and asked, "Xiaodong, how did you do it?"

"Maybe it's luck. You know, I've always had good luck." Li Xiaodong spread his hands and answered easily.

Hu Guangliang certainly didn't believe in luck alone. He had just watched the whole process and found that Li Xiaodong's operating skills were even beyond the reach of researchers in Tsinghua University's laboratory.

However, this is not the time to discuss the issue.

He pursed his lips and said a little embarrassedly: "Can you give me this mineral receiver? I'll pay more..."

Halfway through his words, Hu Guangliang couldn't say anything more, as he realized that his request was too much.

The value of a device that can receive three radio stations cannot be measured by money.

Add more money quickly, add more money!

Seeing that Hu Guangliang was silent again, Li Xiaodong was so anxious that he almost shouted.

But he pretended to be relaxed: "Guangliang, we are friends, it is not appropriate to increase the money. How about this, you pay for the materials and give me some wages."

Isn't this a disguised way of raising the price? Lao Bai curled his lips and thought to himself. But Hu Guangliang nodded excitedly: "Great."

He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it over: "The market price of a radio is 140 yuan, and the value of your crystal radio is far more than that price. I will give you yuan."

Li Xiaodong took the money, took out three large-denomination bills and put them away, then returned the rest to Hu Guangliang.

"We are all radio enthusiasts, helping each other, how can we measure it with money? If I charge so much money, wouldn't I become a commercial speculator?"

——Two hundred yuan is enough to pay off Yi Zhonghai’s debt.

Li Xiaodong gritted his teeth in pain, but he had to endure it in order to realize his plan to make money.

"Well, even if I got the upper hand, I'll take it." Hu Guangliang turned to look at Lao Bai: "Didn't you say you were going to buy the Arctic Ocean?"

"Yes, I'll go right away." Lao Bai went out excitedly.

Hu Guangliang turned to Li Xiaodong again and said, "If you need help in the future, just tell me."

"Isn't this exactly what I want?" Li Xiaodong was waiting for this sentence. He immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I need to borrow your letter of introduction to purchase more parts for the ore mining machine."

"Do you want to..." Hu Guangliang's eyes turned and he immediately understood Li Xiaodong's intention.

Apparently, the temporary worker was planning to use the ore machine to make equipment and sell it in the pigeon market.

The letter of introduction is a small matter. Hu Guangliang can ask the professor to issue another certificate.

However, going to the pigeon market to sell ore machines is a risky thing. Once discovered by the police, you will inevitably be scolded.

However, Hu Guangliang looked at Li Xiaodong deeply, and seeing his firm attitude, he did not dissuade him.

He took out the letter of introduction from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiaodong, then found paper and pen and issued a certificate in the name of Qinghua University Radio Club.

Li Xiaodong took the certificate and said gratefully: "Guangliang, thank you so much!"

——With this certificate, his mining machine production had a legitimate reason.

"No, I should actually thank you." Hu Guangliang thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Xiaodong, I see your hands are much steadier than those of ordinary people. Have you received professional training?"

Due to countless times of practice, he has formed muscle memory, so how could his hands be unsteady!

"It's my nature." Li Xiaodong said with a smile.
