Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1221 Master Wu

Thinking that the machinery factory was Director Li's territory, it would be inappropriate to ask the factory's masters for help without going through Director Li, so Zhang Yu nodded and responded with a smile: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, uncle."

"No trouble, no trouble!" The security guard smiled and asked the people from the security department to help him watch the door. He would be back soon.

With the security guard leading the way, Zhang Yu arrived at the factory director's office without any obstruction.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the office door was knocked, a deep and powerful voice came from inside: "Come in."

"Master Zhang, you go in. I'll go back first."

After the security guard said this, he turned and left.

Zhang Yu straightened his clothes slightly, slowly opened the door, and walked into the factory director's office.

Director Li looked up and saw that it was Zhang Yu who came in. A flash of surprise flashed across his face, and then he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Master Zhang, how come you have time to come here today?"

Zhang Yu raised the drawing in his hand and responded with a smile: "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Director Li this time. I wonder if the factory can help me forge something."

Director Li replied cheerfully, "It's no problem at all. Master Zhang, you are being too tactful. Just tell me what you want to forge. It's a coincidence that several of our factory's masters have returned recently."

With the downfall of Deputy Factory Director Liu, the old masters who he had sent out under various names in order to trip him up have all returned one after another.

So Director Li said this with full confidence.

In this case, Zhang Yu did not hesitate and went straight to the point by handing his drawing to Director Li, and took the initiative to explain the function of the agricultural water pump.

Although Director Li could not understand the drawings, he knew the importance of the water pump just by listening to Zhang Yu's description.

He had also heard about the drought in the commune below, and immediately thought of Zhang Yu's intention in creating this thing.

Director Li also comes from a peasant family. He knows that farmers have a hard time. He also knows what this water pump will mean to the vast majority of farmers if it really works.

With an excited look on his face, he pulled Zhang Yu out and said, "Master Zhang, I'll take you to find Master Wu."

Director Li took him to the factory and called inside: "Director Yu, is Director Yu here?"

"Here." Along with the voice came a fat man in his 40s.

Seeing Director Li, the other party was obviously a little surprised: "Director Li, do you have anything to tell me?"

"I just want to ask if Master Wu is in the factory?"

Although he was a little confused, Director Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Master Wu is in there, guiding his apprentice. Director, what do you want to talk to Master Wu about?"

"I would like to ask Master Wu to help me see if he can make this thing?"

After saying that, he waved the drawing drawn by Zhang Yu in front of Director Yu.

Director Yu is also a technician, so he has a good eye. When he saw the blueprint, he was a little confused at first: "What is this? It looks like a water pressure well to me."

Zhang Yu nodded. The water pump driven by a tractor was indeed somewhat similar in structure to the water pressure wells used in rural areas in the 1980s and 1990s.

Speaking of this, he just found out last night when he was looking up information for drawing a blueprint that the water pressure well has been around since the Song Dynasty and it is purely the wisdom of our ancestors.

After Director Li spoke for a few words, he didn't know what to say and turned an inquiring look to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu stepped forward to explain to Director Yu the meaning of each part on the drawing.

Just as several people were chatting, Master Wu walked out of the factory. When he heard Zhang Yu's story, his eyes lit up, he stopped and listened carefully.

As I listened, I couldn't help but applaud.

"Good stuff, good stuff!" The three people who were talking excitedly raised their heads subconsciously.

After seeing who the person was, Director Li was delighted: "Master Wu, you're here. I was just looking for you."

After explaining the purpose of his visit, Master Wu took the blueprint and waved his hand: "Don't worry about it, leave it to me, I will forge it myself."

After these words were spoken, Director Li's face showed even more joy.

"That's great!"

It was a rare opportunity to come across something that interested him, so Master Wu also became interested. After getting the drawings, he couldn't wait to take Zhang Yu to the factory.

Director Li and Director Yu followed closely behind.

As expected, he is worthy of being the master craftsman in the factory. In just half a day, the purely hand-forged water pump was successfully assembled.

Looking at the water pump in front of him, which was almost the same as the water pumps he had seen in later life, Zhang Yu showed a hint of joy on his face.

After every gap was tightly fitted and there was no air leakage, Zhang Yu solemnly thanked Master Wu.

Master Wu had been busy from less than ten o'clock in the morning until two or three in the afternoon, and he was already tired.

But the spirit is indeed very satisfied.

He waved his hand and said, "Thank you for what you said. Come to me next time if you have something like this."

"Okay, then I will definitely bother Master Wu more often next time."

The main part of the water pump has been successfully built, and the next few small accessories will be easy to deal with.

After listening to the request, Director Yu said that most of the things here were already in the machinery factory, so he directly equipped Zhang Yu with them.

The only remaining belt was quickly dealt with after Director Li made a phone call.

To prevent accidents, Director Li also gave him an extra set of small parts and belts.

He wanted to pay, but was directly rejected by Director Li.

"Master Zhang, you are slapping me in the face. You have helped me so much, but I haven't thanked you yet. If Old Yang knew that I charged you for such a small thing, I would not be able to save my face."

After a struggle, Director Li finally won and stuffed the money back to Zhang Yu.

After agreeing to go and check on the usage of the water pump in person another day, Zhang Yu didn't stay any longer. He said a few words of farewell and prepared to leave.

This time he couldn't refuse Director Li's kindness, so he could only get in Director Li's car and be sent back personally by Secretary Lin.

After leaving the machinery factory, Zhang Yu looked at Secretary Lin sitting in the driver's seat and couldn't help but wonder: "Secretary Lin, when did you learn to drive?"

Secretary Lin drove the car attentively and replied with a smile: "I just learned it. It's more convenient to drive beside the leader, so as not to..."

Secretary Lin didn't say anything else after that, but Zhang Yu understood what the other party wanted to express.

"It's good to know how to drive, it's good to know how to drive!"

Secretary Lin: "Of course not. At least I don't have to ask anyone for help. Besides, learning to drive is not that difficult. It only takes me three days to learn it."

Secretary Lin was extremely proud when talking about this.

But what he didn't say was that he couldn't figure out the trick on his first day of driving lessons and was scolded by the driver.

The reason why I was able to learn it in three days was simply because I was holding my breath.

It’s just driving, what’s so difficult about it!
