A trip starting from the courtyard

Early the next morning, Wang Lidong had just arrived at the work unit, and the six eldest apprentices were changing their clothes. When they saw him, they immediately posted up, "Master, good morning."

Early in the morning, smiling so happily, he opened the locker and asked casually, "Did Yan Zi agree to talk to you?"

The six sons shook their heads and said, "Master, what do you think is wrong with me? Why does this swallow look down on me?"

You lie down at the food delivery window all day looking at female customers. If you see a beautiful girl, you will call friends. It's not normal for people's swallows to bird you.

Wang Lidong put on his chef's clothes, took his hat, "I don't know, there is an old saying called a girl's mind, a needle in the sea. Swallows want to have good looks, and now they have become regulars. You can use snacks. Maybe what Today, we received the wedding invitation from Swallow."

The six sons changed color in an instant, and after thinking about it for a while, they said with a straight face, "Master, why don't you ask my junior sister for me?"

"Get out! I'm a big man, I'm going to ask a girl what's on her mind, thank you for thinking it out!"

"Master, you are Yanzi's master, a teacher for a day and a father for life."

Because he is a master, so he can't do it anymore. Wang Lidong walked into the back kitchen, and all the colleagues greeted him warmly. When Yanzi saw him, he immediately jumped up and called master sweetly, and then introduced himself to him. A strange girl next to her said, "Master, this is Xu Hong, the new apprentice. Director Yao said that he will follow me from now on."

"Hehe, our swallows already have apprentices." Wang Lidong sized up Xu Hong. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a round face, big eyes, and a ponytail. up!
I don't know what the senior brother thinks, and arranges such a little girl to Yanzi.Making dim sum may seem easy, but it is actually a very tiring job.

These days, there are no dough mixers. Mixing dough with an egg beater, and whipping whipped cream are all labor-intensive tasks, with such a small body.
Xu Hong hurriedly greeted him cautiously, "Master Liu is good."

"Xiao Xu, hello." Wang Lidong nodded with a smile, and after saying a few words about doing a good job, he was dragged to the workbench by the six sons to test the results of his hard work for more than two months.

The six sons picked up the potatoes, peeled them, shredded them, stopped the knife to look at their own work, and exaggeratedly made a gesture of invitation, "Master, please take a look!"

Wang Lidong reached out and grabbed a handful of shredded potatoes. The hairs were thick and thin, and the thickness was fairly uniform. Although there were a few with knives, it took a lot of hard work to be able to cut them like this in two months.

Seeing Liu Zi looking at him expectantly, he nodded affirmatively, "Very good, the knife skills are qualified."

The six sons were overjoyed, and immediately asked when he would teach him how to make stewed sausage. Wang Lidong was a little speechless. In the past month or so, he had taken on dozens of private jobs, and basically had a rotation of the eight major cuisines. Why is this guy still thinking about stewed sausage? He didn't have much technical content, and he said in a bad mood, "Next, practice flipping spoons and pots."

"Master, you could have said it back then, as long as you finish practicing knife skills, you will teach me how to make sausages."

"I said this at the time. Now I give you two choices, one is to practice cooking and cooking, and the other is to practice sausage." Wang Lidong reached out and patted the big apprentice on the shoulder, "I figured it out, tell me. "

The six sons scratched their heads and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Master, can we choose both together?"

"I have a lot of appetite. If you were born decades earlier, I think your kid will at least marry several concubines."

Liu Zi didn't know what to think of, Le's mouth was split open, Yan Zi snorted, and took the new apprentice to learn about the baking machine.

The six sons yelled inwardly, "Master, you tricked me!"

Wang Lidong ignored these bastards, walked up to the attic, found a comfortable place, moved a small dining table, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and wrote the banquet menu.

Recently, more and more customers come to their cafeteria for various banquets. It takes half a day to agree on the dishes every time.

He is going to compile several sets of menus with different prices and make them into leaflets, which can not only save time, but also be used as advertising paper.

After finishing the lunch market, Wang Lidong was about to take a nap when the guard found him and said it was his elder brother.

When he came to the back door, he saw Brother Cheap walking up and down in front of the door with an excited expression on his face, "Brother, what kind of happy event did you meet?"

When Liu Yunchang saw his younger brother, he said happily, "Hong Chang, I got the TV ticket." He said that he took out a small ticket paper from the inner pocket of his jacket and handed it to him. Wang Lidong took it and looked at it, " Ningguo City No. 14 Commercial Bureau TV Purchase Ticket One Golden Star 1980-inch black and white TV set. Ended at the end of [-]"

"Yo, it's still made by Mingzhu, how much did it cost?"

The eldest brother said with a painful face, "It's a total of 520 yuan."

"How much does the TV cost?"

"I've already asked, 485 yuan."

"I don't have that much money with me, I'll give it to you when I go back tonight."

He Yunchang said anxiously, "Don't, don't you rest now, let's go, go back, I have already asked for half a day off, and we bought the TV in the afternoon."

Wang Lidong was a little bit dumbfounded, it's just a broken TV, why are you so anxious, "Mom knows where I put all the money, just go back and let mom get it."

"Hong Chang, let's go back together. When we buy a TV later, you can help me with my staff."

"Is there any good advice on this TV? You give the money, and the salesperson will give you the goods."

Unable to survive the stalking by the eldest brother, the two brothers went home together, took 500 yuan, and came to the department store in Ningguo City.

The purchase process was not pleasant, and the cheap brother was a little picky. The paper casing of the first TV had a dent when it was hit. He was worried that the TV would suffer internal injuries, so he asked the salesperson to change it.

The second sealing tape was cut off, and my eldest brother was worried that the TV had been repacked, and he would have to replace it with another one.The salesperson was obviously impatient and told Liu Yunchang that there were only two left, either this one or the one just now.

The two refused to give in to each other, blurting out various organs and the other's ancestors one after another. When they were about to do something, the manager of the shopping mall happened to pass by, stepped forward to persuade them, and asked them to change to a new TV.

When Wang Lidong saw that the packing box was complete, he carried the TV and walked out of the mall. Liu Yunchang hurriedly shouted, "Hong Chang, put it down quickly and let me have a look. If there is any problem, they will definitely not recognize it when they leave the mall."

Wang Lidong said, "If something goes wrong, it's mine."

A TV, as for it.Even if he is unlucky and picks a bad one, with his skills, he can finish it in minutes.

The two returned home and hadn't unpacked the box. Mother Liu and sister-in-law happened to come back from outside. They were surprised to see the TV on the table. Mother Liu frowned and said, "Where did it come from?"

The eldest brother Liu Yunchang took the scissors and carefully cut the seal, "Of course I bought it. Gold Star brand, 14 inches."

"How much money did you spend, why didn't you tell me?"

"TV 485 plus TV ticket 520, a total of 1005 yuan."

"Yunchang, where did you get so much money?"

"Hong Chang and I are one and a half." He said to his wife, "Go and pour two cups of tea, we have never seen us sweat so much."

"Oh." Yingzi hurriedly poured two cups of tea for the two of them, and then stared at the TV package curiously.

After Wang Lidong had a cup of tea, he was ready to go back to work, but Brother Qi hurriedly called out to stop him, it was still early, why not go to work after installing the TV.

He found the instruction manual and asked his elder brother to install it step by step according to the instruction manual, "It's very simple, even elementary school students can do it."

By the time Wang Lidong returned to work, it was already 03:30, and the afternoon sleep was a waste of time.

"Master," the six sons came to him, expressing that they wanted to learn the skills of turning spoons and pots.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it!"

He praised Liuzi with satisfaction, then went to the warehouse to find a broken iron pot, filled a small half pot of yellow sand, and explained the skills and techniques of turning pots and spoons to Liuzi in detail, "every morning, noon and evening Half an hour each, practice for three months first."

After three months, Liu Zi said bitterly, "Master, how do you qualify?"

Wang Lidong pointed to the iron pot and said, "Fill it with yellow sand, turn the pot over once, if not a single grain of sand falls out, you are qualified."

The large overturning pot is to turn the raw materials in the pot 180° at one time, that is to say, the raw materials can be turned upside down through the large overturning pot. It is called a big overturning pot because of the large range of movement and overturning.

"It's impossible not to drop a single grain. Who can do it?"

Wang Lidong pointed to the broken iron pot, "Fill it with sand."

The six sons suddenly got excited, and trotted out of the back kitchen with the broken iron pot, and returned to the back kitchen after a while with a pot full of sand. Wang Lidong took the iron pot, glanced at the workbench, and said to the six sons, " Wipe clean."

"Okay," the sixth son took off the rag from his shoulders, and wiped the workbench cleanly, "Master, it's done."

Wang Lidong stood in front of the workbench, shook his wrist lightly, 'swish' a pot of sand flew half a meter into the air, turned it over 360°, and obediently fell into the pot.

Su Hou on the side stretched out his hand to touch the workbench, and it was clean without a grain of sand falling off.

"Crack, clap!" The back kitchen colleagues applauded, this hand is so beautiful, several cooks and apprentices felt a little itchy, so they stepped forward to take the iron pot one by one, and they did it again, and they all fell off. The table is full of sand.

Su Hou pushed Lao Qin and encouraged, "Old Qin, you should be fine."

Lao Qin laughed and said, "If I could do it, I would have gone to Ningguo Restaurant earlier, so why would I stay in our second canteen for the rest of my life?"

After everyone passed their hand addiction, Wang Lidong looked at the six sons and said, "Are there any questions?"

The six sons hurriedly shook their heads and said, "It's gone, master."

The news that the old Liu's family bought a TV spread all over Xinmin Lane in the afternoon. The Mingzhu TV is still 14 inches, which is 2 inches bigger than the old Qin's TV.

After dinner, the courtyard of the old Liu family was full of neighbors who came to see the excitement.Liu's mother and sister-in-law Yingzi kept their feet on the ground, serving tea and water to the neighbors, while Liu Yunchang moved the TV to the yard and fiddled with the antenna for several minutes, but the TV picture was still blurry, and he panicked. Drenched with sweat, his clothes were all wet.

"Yunchang, isn't the TV broken?"

"Yunchang, if you want to find Xiao Qin, he should be able to transfer?"

When Liu Yunchang heard the word Xiao Qin, he felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He frowned and patted the casing of the TV. "My TV is a Gold Star TV. Xiao Qin knows a thing or two!"

At this time, the snowflakes on the TV screen suddenly disappeared, and all the neighbors hurriedly shouted, "Yunchang, don't move."

"Don't move the antenna. That's it."

He Yunchang looked at the screen with his head, and he could already see people's faces clearly. A host was saying "woo lee wah la" in an unintelligible bird language. After knocking twice, he took the enamel cup handed over by his wife and took two gulps.

"Yunchang, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Liu Yunchang picked up the newspaper on the table and looked at the TV program list, "It's called, English lectures, what Wai Guoren said."

"Oh, no wonder I don't understand."

"The 14-inch one looks bright."

"It seems to be much clearer than the old Qin's TV."

"This one is made by Mingzhu, the Gold Star brand, a famous brand!"

Listening to the compliments from all the neighbors, Liu Yunchang felt as if he had taken a Shiquan Dabu pill. His legs no longer ached, his waist no longer sore, and his back was straight.

It was past nine o'clock when Wang Lidong finished his private work. When he got home, he found that the yard was crowded with men, women and children, and the yard was tightly blocked.

"Hong Chang, you're back."

"Yo, Hong Chang is back."

A group of neighbors immediately moved out of the aisle tactfully. Wang Lidong greeted the neighbors with a smile, and pushed his bicycle to the door of the kitchen.

Mother Liu, who was busy boiling water in the kitchen, heard the movement, leaned over to look outside, and found that the youngest son had returned, so she hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen door, "Why are you back so late today?"

Wang Lidong parked the car, walked into the kitchen, picked up the teapot on the table, and drank a few sips, "I went to two places tonight."

Mother Liu said distressedly, "You go to work during the day, and you are so busy at night, listen to your mother, do less private work in the future, and don't break your body."

"Yes, I see." Wang Lidong didn't explain anything, and promised to take less private work in the future. At this time, the sister-in-law entered the room with two hot water bottles. After seeing him and saying hello, she raised her leg and closed the kitchen door , Mother Liu hurriedly greeted her daughter-in-law, "The water has just boiled, and it can be poured."

The sister-in-law's smiling face immediately disappeared. This night, I didn't watch the TV a few times, and was busy serving water.

Mother Liu snorted, "You can't stand it after just one day. Yingzi, let me tell you, it will be like this every night from now on."

The sister-in-law said with a frantic look, "Isn't this paying for the crime?"

"Now I know why I don't buy a TV. It's not that I can't afford it. If I want to watch TV, I just go to the neighbor's house to watch it. If I have to buy one myself, it's still a 14-inch one. It's all right now, and it's all crowded here. Other families are comfortable, but my family suffers.”

The sister-in-law sighed, she would not have encouraged Yunchang to buy a TV if she had known.

Wang Lidong sneered twice, and he was also responsible for this.

At ten o'clock, a round 'test chart' popped up on the TV, and all the neighbors reluctantly left, got up and left, went back to their respective homes, and each looked for their respective mothers.

Eldest brother Liu Yunchang hummed a ditty, walked into the kitchen, saw the whole family was there, and immediately excitedly talked about the feature film of My Country that was shown on TV just now.

Mother Liu interrupted the eldest son, pointing to the garbage path in the yard, "Xiaoying and I have been tired all night, you go and clean the yard."

Liu Yunchang looked at the yard with his head, and said to his wife, "Yingzi, go and sweep the yard."

Yingzi glanced at Liu Yunchang, and walked to his room with two thermos bottles.Seeing his daughter-in-law daring to shake her face, Liu Yunchang let out a hey, "Yingzi, you didn't hear what I said."

Mother Liu reached out and grabbed the boss's ear and said, "Yingzi has been tired for a long time. You don't feel bad, but I do. Sweep it yourself!"

"Hey, let go, Mom, I'll sweep, I'll sweep." Liu Yunchang picked up the broom sullenly, and muttered out of the kitchen. When Liu's mother saw him gloating, she immediately pointed at him and said, "Go and help, too. Move the machine into the house."

Wang Lidong was speechless, just now he said that he was working too hard, now it's only a few minutes, and he turned his face when he said it.

You are the oldest.

Can't afford to offend.

He came to the compound, moved the TV back to the living room, and was about to take a shower and go to bed, when Big Brother hurriedly called out to him, "Hong Chang, come here."

"what's up?"

"There is something wrong with our TV."

Wang Lidong looked puzzled, it has been left all night, so there is something wrong.

"The antenna is not good, so my master's house is also from Venus, and the picture is much clearer than ours." Liu Yunchang Balabala described how clear the picture of his master's TV is, and how the sound is three-dimensional and loud. Wang Lidong immediately understood the meaning of his words , I blame him for not checking the TV when he was in the mall and bought a defective one.

Looking at Big Brother Cheap's resentful little eyes, what a big deal, Wang Lidong said, "This matter is easy to handle, just wait."

As he spoke, he went into the house, found a stack of letter paper, and spent a few minutes drawing the production diagram of the 'Yagi Antenna'. Liu Yunchang took the drawing from his brother, "What is it?"

"Outdoor antenna, with this thing, you can receive at least seven or eight TV stations, and the picture and sound quality are even better than your master's."

The eldest brother Liu Yunchang hurriedly threw down the broom, walked into the living room, and looked at it carefully from beginning to end. It was very simple, just a few metal pipes put together, and asked doubtfully, "Is it really useful?"

"Absolutely useful."

Liu Yunchang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the factory to make this thing tomorrow. What kind of 'vibrator' is this, any metal can be used?"

"Copper or aluminum will do."

Mother Liu walked into the living room with two hot water bottles, and saw the two brothers muttering together, "I'll talk about it tomorrow. What time is it, sweep the floor quickly, take a shower and go to bed."

Liu Yunchang immediately took the blueprint and told his mother about the outdoor antenna. After hearing this, Liu's mother immediately put down the thermos, took out the reading glasses and looked at the blueprint carefully. Liu Yunchang joked, "Mom, you don't know a few words, look It's useless."

Mother Liu glared at her elder son, then turned to look at her younger son and said, "Hong Chang, where did this thing come from?"

Wang Lidong had already thought of an excuse, "Last week, I went to an old professor's house to cook rice noodles, and I accidentally saw it in a magazine in his house."

Seeing his mother's serious face, Liu Yunchang quickly asked, "Mom, what's wrong? What's wrong with this drawing?"

Mother Liu waved her hand and said, "If this outdoor antenna is really as good as Hong Chang said, will everyone who has a TV at home buy one?"

Wang Lidong secretly gave Mother Liu a "praise" with a thumbs up. He deserves to be an old Jianghu who dared to "steal the chicken and turn the corner" in the 70s and [-]s. His vision is sharp.

Liu's mother immediately asked her eldest son about the approximate cost of an outdoor antenna. Liu Yunchang looked at the parameters and made a rough estimate. If aluminum tubes were used, the material cost would be four or five yuan. If copper tubes were used, it would be a bit expensive, at least It costs ten dollars.

"Hong Chang, when you read a magazine, is there a price tag on it?"

"It seems to be 80 yuan a piece."

The mother and son's eyes brightened. Mother Liu told the eldest son to keep it secret, and to hide when processing, so that no one would know.If this thing is really useful, it will definitely make a lot of money.
