I want to be emperor

Chapter 835 Sun Xu Breaks into Songjiang ([-])
Sun Xu heard the soft creaking sound of the stairs, and out of the corner of her eye, a woman in a peony embroidered dress and a lavender veiled cap climbed up the stairs. At this time, she slightly raised her head and saw Sun Xu above, and immediately paused .

Sun Xu was afraid of an abrupt beauty, and he didn't want others to think he was a villain, so he immediately stepped aside and said, "I... I'm here to find my friend!"

"He lives here, his name is Sun Dawei!"

The woman didn't say a word after listening, she just gave a soft 'hmm', and then continued to go up to the [-] next door and took out the key to open the door. She saw Sun Xu, who looked a little cautious, and said something before entering the door: " Your friend shouldn't be here, he won't be back from get off work until six or seven o'clock in the evening!"

Sun Xu immediately bowed slightly: "Thank you, Miss, for explaining the confusion. I'll wait for him here, and I hope I won't disturb you!"

The woman said: "It's all right!"

After all, he went straight in and closed the door.

After seeing the other party's door closed, Sun Xu raised his head and heaved a sigh of relief.

It's not that he's shy of strangers, but he doesn't want to get into any trouble when he first arrives, and leave any bad influence on the female neighbor next door, and he doesn't want his arrival to affect Faxiao's neighborhood relationship.

After all, although the defense between men and women has been relaxed a lot these days, women in gentry families will not go out of the door like Mingnahui decades ago, but many traditions are still reserved. Defense is still there.

In many cases, it is not easy to chat with women casually...

After the woman entered the door, Sun Xu heaved a sigh of relief, looked around, and then sat down directly on the wooden stairs.

It's only mid-afternoon now, and it will be three or four hours before he comes back from get off work, so he doesn't always stand like this.

Sitting and waiting for someone is naturally long and boring. To pass the time, he took out a book and flipped through it. This "Compendium of Common Machinery" was given to him by the master as a meeting gift when he was an apprentice. , very thick, a full six to seven centimeters thick, which records the mechanisms, principles, and process details of various mechanical equipment commonly found on the market.

Although this book does not teach you how to repair equipment, it allows you to understand the principles and process details of common mechanical equipment on the market.

After knowing the principle and process details of these equipment, we can talk about finding out the problem and repairing it.

Therefore, this book is not only a must-read book for students majoring in mechanical engineering, but also a must-read book for grass-roots technical mechanical repair personnel like Sun Xu.

From the first day when he was an apprentice, he had been flipping through this book from time to time. After several years of flipping through it, although he kept it carefully, many pages were also torn.

Sun Xu is very clear that if he wants to be successful these days, even if he is just a mechanical repairman, he must study hard, and he needs to figure out some basic mechanical theories and even some processing techniques.

Otherwise, if someone gives you a broken textile machine, you won't even be able to find the problem, and even if you find the problem, you won't be able to solve it.

At the same time, it is also necessary to learn some basic fitter knowledge, so that when encountering some problems, you can directly and simply process some parts for replacement...

You can't just replace the original parts regardless of the problem... If this is the case, those machine tool manufacturers will have to laugh to death, and they will have to make money just after the sale... And the boss invited you here because he wants Be able to solve the problem by yourself, instead of spending a lot of money to ask equipment manufacturers to come and solve the problem.

Of course, mechanical repairers who can achieve this level are often masters with rich theory, rich experience, and very good hands-on ability.

This kind of master, you say he is a mechanical repairman, but in fact, he can draw a blueprint in minutes, and give the technical requirements to copy a mechanical equipment as it is.

If you give him enough assistants, as well as various processing equipment and raw materials, he can even build you a device that looks exactly the same... Of course, this is only limited to looking exactly the same. Performance is hard to say.

The raw materials and processing techniques of many parts of precision equipment are very special, and the precision is very high. Many of them are patented products or even confidential products, and it is difficult for outsiders to imitate them.

Even if it is imitated, the cost will go to the sea... Other factories mass-produce equipment that can be produced for a few thousand Chu Yuan. If you do it yourself, even if you don't count the investment in equipment, it is estimated that it will cost tens of thousands...

This is the charm of industrialization!
The core of industrialization is not actually how good the performance is, but that while ensuring a certain performance, the output is large enough and the cost is low enough.

Just like steel, even in ancient times, blacksmiths could rely on various local methods to produce steel, and even the performance of the steel produced by local methods is quite good, but this is useless because the output is too low and the cost is too high .

In the late period of the first industrial revolution, steel factories produced several tons or even dozens of tons of steel in one furnace. The annual output of steel factories was tens of thousands of tons, and large steel factories could even reach hundreds of thousands of tons.

The amount of steel handcrafted by countless traditional blacksmiths in human history is not as good as the annual output of a modern steel factory.

The same goes for a mechanical repairman. With his own rich theoretical knowledge and experience, he can give him the necessary materials and equipment. He can make you equipment that looks the same, but no one will do it that way. up.

The main job of a mechanical repairer is actually to maintain a large number of mechanical equipment in the factory, so that the large number of mechanical equipment purchased by the factory can operate normally and well, and solve problems as soon as possible, so as not to reduce the production capacity of the factory or even shutdown.

This reduction in production capacity or even shutdown will cause a huge loss, which is unbearable for any factory.

This puts great demands on the technical ability of mechanical repairers.

It will take a long time for Sun Xu to become such an independent mechanical repairman, and he needs to continue to learn and accumulate experience.

But Sun Xu has always been self-motivated, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become a teacher in just a few years... It's not so easy to learn to be a mechanical repairman these days, especially for someone who hasn't graduated from junior high school of young people.

Not to mention anything else, just the many theoretical knowledge related to machinery that needs to be studied is not so easy to get.

In fact, many mechanical repairers are often from secondary vocational colleges who specialize in mechanical repair, and even in some large factories, mechanical repair engineers with higher technical content are from higher vocational colleges majoring in mechanics.

It is not easy for Sun Xu to become a junior mechanical repairman in a few years as a junior high school dropout.

It is also inseparable from his hard work and good grades!

Over the years, Sun Xu has developed the habit of reading professional books in his free time.

Now in this stairwell is no exception!

The time of reading always flies very fast. Looking at it, the evening clouds appeared outside the window.

After reading for a long time, Sun Xu also felt some soreness in his shoulders and neck, and couldn't help shaking his neck. At the same time, he felt his mouth was dry, and he was about to take out his small water bottle from his package to take a sip of water.

I saw the door opposite opened a gap, and the face of the woman just now appeared.

Seeing this, Sun Xu got up quickly.

The woman opened the door and said: "I see you have been waiting for a long time, do you want some tea?"

Saying that, Xian Xianyu held out a teacup in her hand.

Seeing this, Sun Xu silently let go of the hand holding the small water bottle from the cloth bag, then bowed slightly and said, "I just feel dry mouth after reading for a long time!"

"Thank you so much, miss!"

He took two steps forward, took the teacup and drank it in one gulp. The aroma of the tea water flowed through his teeth, and it tasted better than any tea he had ever had before!

After finishing drinking, she handed the teacup back, and the woman said: "You're welcome, but just a cup of tea, we are all foreigners who come to Shanghai, so we should take care of them!"

The woman took the teacup: "Do you want more tea?"

Sun Xu shook his head: "That's enough, don't bother!"

The woman stopped talking and immediately closed the door again.

Sun Xu sat on the stairs again, with a smile on his lips.

He felt that it was the right time for him to come to Songjiang. This city not only has prosperity and industrial opportunities, but also has nice people.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Sun Xu finally waited for his Faxiao to come back.

Fa Xiao Sun Dawei saw Sun Xu, and a look of joy appeared on his face immediately: "Brother Xu, you are here. I received your letter before and knew that you would come. I have been waiting for you, little brother!"

"It's true for you, too. I didn't say the exact time in the letter before, or I'll pick you up at the train station!"

"Look at what's going on, it made you wait at the door for a long time!"

Seeing Fa Xiao, Sun Xu also had a smile on his face: "I have just arrived, and the train tickets are hard to buy, and I have to change trains on the way. I am not sure when I will arrive!"

It is not difficult to buy train tickets in normal times, but it is difficult to buy train tickets if you want to take the cheapest third-class seat tickets all the way.

After all, there are too many people who want to save money.

Coupled with the need to transfer trains, Sun Xu actually suffered a lot on this journey, because the train from his hometown only arrives in Xi'an, so if he wants to go to Songjiang, and also wants the cheapest third-class ticket, he has to go through a lot of work. What about the next transfer?

He first took the train to Xi'an, slept in the train station overnight, and bought a ticket to Jiangpu Railway Station in the capital. After arriving in Jiangpu, he slept in the train station for two days, and then snapped up the cheapest ticket, Jiangpu to Songjiang Third-class seat ticket at North Railway Station.

These several times of transfers, coupled with the fact that the third-class seat ticket is difficult to rest, so he actually suffered a lot along the way, and he was not sure which day he would arrive on time.

Because of changing trains, and the speed of modern trains is not fast, they usually only run forty to fifty kilometers per hour, and passenger trains often do not leave at night, so it takes a long time to go from my hometown to Songjiang all the way. .

On the whole, although the contemporary railway transportation of the Great Chu Empire is very convenient and fast compared with the previous travel methods, it still has some defects, such as relatively low operating speed, passenger trains do not run at night for safety, and frequently enter and exit platforms. All lead to when passengers want to travel long distances across hundreds or thousands of kilometers, it is often troublesome and takes a lot of time.

Of course, in response to these problems, the Great Chu Empire Railway Corporation has also opened some express passenger trains between some big cities, reducing the number of stops at small railway stations, speeding up the operation, and increasing the number of sleepers, etc. The ride time improves the ride experience.

For example, express passenger trains from Jinling South Station to Songjiang, and some express trains from Jinling North Station, that is, Jiangpu Railway Station, to Zhengzhou and Tianjin.

It's just that this kind of special train has fewer passengers and higher operating costs, so the ticket price is very expensive. Sun Xu can't even bear the second-class or first-class tickets of ordinary buses, and naturally he is even more reluctant to take the express passenger train.

If he makes a lot of money in Songjiang one day, when he returns to his hometown, he might take the express passenger train from Songjiang to Xi'an, and he will take the most expensive first-class soft sleeper with a small independent room.

It's just that this wish is beautiful, but I don't know when it will come true.

The two said a few words at the door, and Sun Dawei took out the key to open the door and called Sun Xu to come in.

After entering, Sun Dawei said: "The place is a bit small, don't be disgusted."

Sun Xu also took a brief look at the room. It was indeed not big, just a small room with a balcony serving as a kitchen, and a toilet next door.

But he will not have any dislike. He also knows that Songjiang City is the most developed city in the country, and he earns a lot here, but there must be a lot of expenses in various aspects.

The place where Fa Xiao rented was not considered a remote place. He reckoned that the rent would not be cheap for such a small room.

While looking at it, he said: "I don't want to be disgusted, I am already grateful that you can take me in, and it is not in vain that I helped you with your homework and homework!"

When Sun Dawei heard this, he immediately laughed: "If it weren't for the fact that you helped me with my homework back then, I would have persuaded you to come to Songjiang time and time again."

"Let me tell you, you have also come to Songjiang, and you have seen the prosperity along this road. I won't talk about the many, just talk about those factories, which can go to the sea. We live a few kilometers away from here. , is the industrial zone in Xicheng District, there are at least hundreds of factories in that place!"

"Many of them are textile factories. Aren't you good at repairing textile machinery? You just happen to be able to find work in these textile factories!"

"I've paid attention to it for you a while ago. Several textile factories are recruiting mechanical repairers. The salary is good. You have a good rest tonight. I will take leave tomorrow morning and take you to have a look in the afternoon."

Sun Xu listened and nodded: "So I will trouble you!"

Sun Dawei said: "They all grew up playing in mud together, why are you being polite to me..."

"Put your things down first, let's go, we brothers go to the restaurant downstairs for dinner, I'll treat you as a welcome!"

Sun Xu didn't want to let his friends spend money when he first came, so he quickly shied away, but Sun Dawei insisted, and he had no choice but to go together.

After eating and drinking, during the conversation between the two, Sun Xu also learned more about the situation in Songjiang, especially the nearby areas, and also learned about the life of his friend Sun Dawei.

Sun Dawei came out to work after graduating from high school. He has been working in Songjiang for many years. Now he works in a glass factory in the nearby Xicheng Industrial Zone. He can be regarded as a skilled worker, with a monthly income of about six or seven yuan.

If this income is placed in the small county town of my hometown, it would not be considered low.

But Sun Dawei himself said that his salary is a proper low-middle income in Songjiang City. One month's salary is deducted from rent, water and coal, daily food and clothing, and occasional visits to restaurants and listening to music are all gone!

After hearing this, Sun Xu didn't know what to say. Six or seven Chu yuan a month, which was almost double his previous salary.

And when it comes to eating out and listening to music, eating out is fine. Sun Xu used to occasionally have a meal in a small street restaurant to satisfy his hunger.

But listening to the music... Listening to Sun Dawei talking about the scene of listening to the music in Goulan, a certain oiran looks like a fairy, Sun Xu couldn't help swallowing...

He has never been to Goulan to listen to music in his life.

When I make money, I have to go for an eye-opening experience!

　Writing about Sun Xu in the past few days, I want to use his perspective to describe some details of the social environment and humanities, and strive to present to everyone a society after the integration of modern industry and Chinese tradition...Of course, the limited writing power may not be able to write in place, everyone Don't be too disgusted... SO, please follow Sun Xu's perspective and continue to experience Chengshun's 35 years of Songjiang!
