Cannon fodder engages in introversion in the chronicle

Chapter 172 Not the Best Choice
Hearing what Pei Guoan said, Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu's faces faded from worry, and they both looked at Pei Guoan expectantly: "Guoan, do you have an idea?"

"I know there is a brick and tile factory near the provincial capital, which is much larger than Zhaojia Village, and the quality is excellent. It will only be better than the bricks and tiles fired in Zhaojia Village. It's just that it's far away, so you have to hire a big truck to transport it. That's an extra expense."

"An extra expense is not a problem, and our village can't afford it, but can the brick and tile factory agree to sell the bricks and tiles to our village?"

At this time, it's not that you can buy things if you have money, but you have to beg to buy things. It's also because Zhaojia Village's attitude is too bad, and they think too much, otherwise they won't make other plans.

"That's not a problem. I'll go there in person and arrange this matter."

Li Miaomiao listened from the side, knowing that this was a matter of making Pei Guoan owe favors. Not only that, the village also had an extra sum of expenses, and although this solved the problem, it failed to slap the people in Zhaojia Village severely. On the face, no matter how you think about it, it is not the best choice.

"If I don't have to say, I'd better find another way to solve it. We don't need some bricks and tiles to build factories. Even if we rely on the current workshops, the village can afford money. It's not as tight as before, but this way A big expense can still be saved if it can be saved.”

Pei Guoan nodded when he heard the words: "That's the reason. If there is another way, it is really not the best choice to go to the brick and tile factory in the provincial capital to order bricks and tiles. This can only be used as a way out for us."

"But at Zhaojia Village, they must know that we have been to Niujia Village. If they look for it at this time, the lion may open their mouths."

Zhang Degen was no ordinary worry. The people in Zhaojia Village showed their attitude early in the morning. It is obvious that building a factory is a great thing to build, but it is really sad that it has turned into such a situation now.

"Then order it at Niujia Village. Didn't you say that although the bricks in their village are not good, the tiles are still barely usable. I think it's their firing technology. As for the firing of tiles, I actually read a book about it before. I have seen some techniques and methods on the Internet, and I always go to discuss with them to see if they can use this to improve the firing technology. In addition, for bricks, we use earth bricks, so we don’t need to ask for help, and it can also reduce costs. .”

"But Guoan's daughter-in-law, we are building a factory this time. If we use earth bricks, it won't look good."

"It's nothing bad. We built the factory to meet the production needs, not to compare with others. The reason why we want red bricks is because the factory built with red bricks is stronger, but the adobe bricks we made before are not bad. It’s stronger than ordinary adobe bricks, so use this one.”

Li Miaomiao feels that because of the soap workshop, the people in the village are still a little bit drifting, including Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu. When building the factory, they didn't consider using earth bricks. Instead, they wanted to use more expensive and better red bricks. There is still some idea of ​​comparison.

When Li Miaomiao said this, both Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu agreed that the adobe bricks made in their village were indeed very strong and durable. In fact, they were very confused about this. They had obviously made adobe bricks in the village before, but they were not as good.

However, after drying the adobe bricks these few times, their hardness is no worse than that of red bricks.

It's not just Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu who are puzzled by this, but they can't explain why. Could it be that they changed the ratio slightly according to Li Miaomiao's intention?

"Well, let's make it with adobe bricks. If that's the case, I'll call the big guys in the village to do it. The weather is good recently, it's always been sunny, and the adobe bricks are made to dry faster."

Just do what you say, Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu will organize the people in the village, and Li Miaomiao plans to go to Niujia Village with Pei Guoan to see the specific situation of the tiles.

When we arrived at Niujia Village, the captain of Niujia Village knew Li Miaomiao's intention: "Our village's craft of burning paper bricks and tiles is indeed inferior to that of Zhaojia Village. Their master masters went to learn it specially. The masters of our village were originally apprentices who fired tiles. , the life in the village is really too tight, so he handed over the craftsmanship that he only knows to the big guys in the village, and he can barely make tiles, but not bricks. The formula is our own, and it is always a bit short what."

Li Miaomiao felt a little better when he heard that Captain Yang of Niujia Village confessed so honestly and had no intention of hiding it.

"Captain Yang, the situation here, I heard from our captain and accountant Wu that we plan to customize the tiles for our expanded factory building here."

As soon as Li Miaomiao said this, everyone in Niujia Village was overjoyed. No one knew that the soap workshop in Fanglin Village was booming, and the expanded factory building was also very large. It must have needed a lot of tiles. With this income , the village can barely live a better year this year.

Captain Yang, however, was not overwhelmed by joy, but looked at Pei Guoan and Li Miaomiao: "You should know that the tiles fired in our village are indeed not as good as those in Zhaojia Village, but our price can be cheaper, and there is You don’t need to pull it, we will pull it for you with a bullock cart after the tiles are burnt.”

"The quality of the tiles in your village is indeed worse than that in Zhaojia Village. Even if the price is cheaper, the cost we paid later is actually higher."

Everyone's heart sank when they heard Li Miaomiao's words, and the smiles on their faces became silent.

Seeing them like this, Li Miaomiao felt uncomfortable, especially seeing that the people in Niujia Village were indeed living in poverty, and they didn't even have to go to their former Fanglin Village.

"So what I want to say is that reducing prices is not the way out for your village, but improving technology and the quality of bricks and tiles is what you have to do."

Captain Yang said with bitterness in his mouth: "We don't know what you said, but the people in Zhaojia Village are not stupid. How can we learn the technology? We have been thinking about it for so long, and we can burn the tiles." better."

"I know what's going on in Zhaojia Village. I can't rely on them. I've read a few books, which contain the knowledge of firing bricks and tiles. I thought of some and wrote them down silently. You can read them."

Li Miaomiao bought a book in the system mall and copied some content that can be used in Niujia Village, and handed it to Captain Yang.

Captain Yang took the book excitedly when he heard the words, read the content written on it, and mentioned the ratio of materials for firing bricks and tiles, as well as some precautions for firing temperature, very detailed, exactly what they needed of.

"I'm a layman, and I don't know anything about other things. That's all I can do. You can try the above ratio and see how it works?"

"Great, I'll arrange people to test it right away! According to the ratio above, I'll notify you of some news right away."
