Chapter 419 418 Stir-fried pine nuts

After watching Yan Xiong fly away, Tang Zhitong walked into the conference room to listen. Since he was here for the first time, he might as well treat it as a place to learn from the class.

Each coal station has a clear division of labor, which is accurate to every day and every link, such as how many people are needed for the honeycomb coal factory, how many people are needed for transportation, how many people are needed for loading and unloading, how many people are needed for issuing invoices for coal sales, etc.

As the coal station was talking, Wei Zhizhen was writing down the data so that he could go back and arrange personnel.

Tang Zhitong was listening at the side, and the more he listened, the more he admired Yan Xiongfei. He did a very meticulous job, no worse than Wu Haiyang's three shifts on the construction site last year.

Originally I just asked others to provide a few social practice positions, but now it has become such a big event and everyone has benefited from it.

Tang Zhitong even had an illusion: Yan Xiongfei had always wanted to do this, and was just fulfilling his request as a side job.

Of course, this time of providing warmth is different from the one at the construction site. That time Wu Haiyang had to cut costs, but this time Yan Xiongfei didn’t care much about the costs.

With the banner of serving the people, it not only solves the problem of slow delivery of coal stations, but also solves the pain points of residents and avoids colds and fevers caused by weather reasons. With such a thoughtful action, who would stand up and say that the money should not be spent?

On the way back, Wei Zhizhen chatted with Tang Zhitong about their plans after returning to school:

The coal station does not provide meals, so students who come out to participate in social practice need to buy dry food from the school cafeteria, and then go back to coordinate with the cafeteria to work overtime to prepare dry food in the morning;
After transporting coal for a day, everyone will inevitably be covered in coal dust, and they have to take a bath after returning home, which requires extra time to coordinate with the bathhouse;

Also, consider how many people are needed to participate in social practice every day, try to work in classes, coordinate courses with the teachers, etc.

Tang Zhitong agreed with some noises. Although it had little to do with him, it wouldn't be a bad thing to know more about it.

"Comrade Xiao Tang, I have to thank you for helping me get so many places for social practice this time." Wei Zhizhen thanked Tang Zhitong excitedly. He sat in that position, and every year there was a requirement to achieve a certain number of people and a certain number of days for social practice. This time, the target was exceeded in one go.

"Teacher Wei, you're too kind. It was Director Yan who gave me the opportunity. It has little to do with me. I've already thanked him." Tang Zhitong did not take credit for it.

"Haha, are you interested in joining the Student Union?" Wei Zhizhen extended an olive branch to Tang Zhitong.

"Teacher Wei, thank you for your esteem, but let's forget about this. I have to go to work from time to time, and I don't live on campus. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to take care of it. Please don't delay the student union's affairs." Tang Zhitong declined without even thinking about it.

The Student Union originated from the May Fourth Movement and had a certain influence among students. After liberation, this student organization was retained to organize some school activities, assist the school in some management work, etc., and still had some face in the eyes of teachers and students.

In another twenty years, the function of the student union will be inclined towards managing students, checking hygiene and discipline, and becoming an entity that students do not like.

Going forward, the situation of the Student Union being overstaffed will become even more serious. There will be many leaders in a team, but not many who get things done. Moreover, they are full of official authority and speak in an official tone, and in the eyes of college students, they will become a group of people who "amuse themselves".

"Okay, then who in your class will come forward to coordinate this time?" Tang Zhitong did not agree, and Wei Zhizhen was not angry. The other party was about to be promoted, so it was normal for him to look down on this small temple.

"I'll go back and ask our squad leader if he's interested." Tang Zhitong preferred Luo Zhiping, but he just made a suggestion and didn't express his opinion on his behalf.

"Okay." Wei Zhizhen nodded in agreement, without saying anything about giving extra care to Class 593 of the Wired Department. However, this was a matter of course and it was tacitly understood, so there was no need to say it out loud.

As the two were talking, they had already arrived at Xinjiekouwai Street. Listening to the horn sounds coming from Gongdelin, they turned onto Xueyuan South Road and returned to the Post and Telecommunications College.

To the east of the Post and Telecommunications University is Beijing Normal University, and to the east of Beijing Normal University is Gongdelin. When passing by, you can often hear the sound of horns.

Gongdelin is quite famous, but not many outsiders know where it is.

Gongdelin was originally a temple. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu, it was converted into a labor camp where prisoners were required to learn skills in prison. It was called "Xiaoyouso".

This may be the origin of the term "labor camp".

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Gongdelin was taken over by the Beiyang Government and the National Government for a time and became a real prison, imprisoning many progressive people.

After liberation, this place remained a prison, where a large number of senior generals and some puppet Manchukuo officials who had been abandoned by the transport captain were detained and reformed.

The tone set by the higher-ups is to adopt reformatory education for this group of people.

The effect of reformatory education is very obvious. An amnesty was approved some time ago, but the list will not be announced until December. The first batch will be released and the rest will continue to receive education in prison.

Although it was a prison, the food was good because of the special conditions of the prisoners. In the next two years, the supply was very tight and the guards were bloated, but they shared the yellow sheep they had hunted thousands of miles away with the inmates. This was what the stubborn Huang Wei said himself.

After returning to the college, Tang Zhitong had a quick lunch and then found Luo Zhiping. They lit a cigarette and then he told him about the social practice.

"Squad leader, our class now needs someone to liaise with Chief Wei of the Logistics Department. I have recommended you to him. Are you willing to do this job?" Tang Zhitong asked.

"Oh, that's great!" Luo Zhiping was excited when he heard it, but after two seconds, he thought about it and asked, "If I do this, what should Teacher Tang do? It's not appropriate, right?"

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, I have no plans to participate in social practice, so don't count me in when the time comes." Tang Zhitong could see that this kid might have never experienced the feeling of giving orders since he was a child, and now he is particularly addicted to it. He is a good material for pursuing progress.

"Okay, Teacher Tang, don't worry, this will be done beautifully. Thank you Teacher Tang for the opportunity." Luo Zhiping became excited again and hurriedly thanked Tang Zhitong.

"Look what you said, you're too polite. I went to the Municipal Bureau a while ago, and Director Su said that our Municipal Bureau should send the two of us over for training, so that we can take care of each other." Tang Zhitong winked at Luo Zhiping and said.

"Hehe, to be honest, that's my uncle." Having said that, Luo Zhiping no longer hid anything and revealed his relationship with Director Su.

"Wow, that's a very strong relationship. We have to work hard and not embarrass Director Su." Tang Zhitong pretended to have heard it for the first time, showing a slightly surprised expression, and said something for the occasion.

"Teacher Tang, rest assured. I will work hard and live up to everyone's expectations!" Luo Zhiping said with high morale.

Tang Zhitong felt that Luo Zhiping was a good squad leader. He liked this feeling and he didn't want to put in too much trouble. He could slowly hand over the work of the life committee member to him in the future.

Luo Zhiping was energetic and full of energy. After smoking a cigarette with Tang Zhitong, he went straight to the logistics department to find Wei Zhizhen.

Tang Zhitong looked at Luo Zhiping and smiled. He was still young and impatient, but it was also good this way. He could choose various positions from among those in his class first.

When communicating with the person in charge of the coal yard today, Tang Zhitong heard that although the "Warmth Month" was scheduled to start on the 1st of next month, a group of students had to go in advance to familiarize themselves with the process, and in the next few days, the "old and new" system was implemented. The coal yard must not be delayed, and the tasks must be completed with quality and quantity, otherwise the coal yard will report to Director Yan and make corresponding penalties, etc.

Luo Zhiping was late for the afternoon class. Contrary to his usual behavior, he first confirmed with several roommates whether they would attend. Because of the training he received, he was more self-conscious in this regard.

When they heard that a newspaper had followed up on the report, Lu Jian and other trainees were quite interested. This was a newspaper in the old city! And they could also walk around the streets of the most important district in the old city. They were very tempted and decided to participate in this internship after a brief discussion.

After class, Luo Zhiping immediately announced that the students in Class 593 of the Cable Department should return to the classroom for a meeting.

Tang Zhitong originally wanted to leave after class, but since the class monitor had spoken, he naturally had to give some face.

"The social practice opportunity that everyone has been looking forward to is here. First of all, let us thank Teacher Tang for fighting for this opportunity for us!" Luo Zhiping came up and pulled Tang Zhitong out. It was unknown what Wei Zhizhen said to him.

Ordinary people follow others blindly. As soon as Luo Zhiping clapped, everyone followed suit even though they didn't know the inside story.

Tang Zhitong was so helpless that he couldn't keep a low profile. He could only stand up and raise his hands to press down.

After the students calmed down, he said, "We have to thank the logistics department of our college for this. I played a very small role in it. I followed the teacher of the logistics department on a trip this morning. This practice was not easy to come by, and the work was very hard. I hope everyone can fulfill their duties and responsibilities. Now, please ask the class monitor to make unified arrangements."

Hearing what Tang Zhitong said, Luo Zhiping was very happy and announced the schedule he had discussed with Wei Zhizhen.

All classes will be suspended on Friday afternoon so that students can familiarize themselves with the procedures. There is no charge for this half day.

Next, Luo Zhiping called the roll, first saying the positions, and then called out the names of the students who would be assigned to these positions.

Of course, Tang Zhitong is not on this list.

Tang Zhitong was sitting below listening to Luo Zhiping's arrangements and discovered something very interesting. Luo Zhiping seemed to have made special arrangements for a certain female classmate. She was the only one in the class who sat in the office and issued orders.

Tang Zhitong, as a person with experience, thought that this guy was interested in her, and the look in this female classmate's eyes when she looked at Luo Zhiping was full of tenderness, which was quite interesting.

There are young men and women in love in college, but not that many.

On the one hand, there is financial constraints, and on the other hand, there is the issue of job placement after graduation.

Tang Zhitong feels that the second point accounts for a larger proportion.

Currently, college students are guaranteed jobs. Schools make allocations based on local needs, and personal wishes do not play a decisive role.

Once lovers are assigned to different places, it is harder than climbing Mount Everest to get them together again.

Despite this, there are still some couples whose love is stronger than gold. They get married and start a family life where they get together twice a year.

Some people naturally can't stand it, so even if they are in a relationship, they will break up after the work is assigned.

It is clearly for their own personal benefit, but they put all the blame on their parents, calling it "parental obstruction."

Pooh!
Tang Zhitong was quite optimistic about this couple. The female classmate came from a working-class family, and Luo Zhiping was similar. There was no difference in status between the two.

But we should not underestimate this difference in status. The concept of "equal status" has been deeply rooted in people's minds for thousands of years.

Regardless of the era, most people who refuse to listen will fall for this, and the iron-clad facts will teach those who are stubborn a lesson without mercy.

Climbing up the social ladder is a shortcut to changing social class, but it is not easy to master. You either need to be outstanding in appearance or be a good licker. Forget about having an independent personality. It would be good enough if you can cheat and seek pleasure without being pushed behind.

As for typical representatives, there are both male and female ones, and they are all quite famous.

Ordinary people should not think about these things. It is simply impossible to get connected with big stars or domineering CEOs.

A big penis and a good penis can only play a one-finger Zen with you at most. How can a big star or a CEO fall in love with an ordinary person? How blind must they be?
But Luo Zhiping is different. He has a relationship with Director Su. As long as the two of them confirm their relationship, the female classmate is very likely to stay in Beijing.

By then, both of them will be in the post and telecommunications sector, and they will definitely be the envy of ordinary people.

It’s wonderful to think about the children and grandchildren taking over in the future.

As long as it is not set up as a model of "persistence and inheritance of two or three generations", it can be safe and stable for a hundred years.

After the class meeting, the students were still excited, but Tang Zhitong left quietly.

In order to prepare enough firewood for the winter, Tang Zhitong asked Xiao Wang for leave today. The reason was of course to go to his friend Mo Xuyou to buy firewood.

I have never shown my firewood purchase in front of others, but I have so much at home, which seems a bit unacceptable.

This time, Tang Zhitong chose to tie the firewood to his bicycle, walked past the water station openly, and even greeted Uncle Zhu.

Some things are more likely to confuse people when they are half true and half false.

After returning home, Tang Zhitong arranged the firewood and lit the stove. He then took a double-handled cast iron pot from the main room and planned to fry the pine nuts.

After many days of drying, the pine nuts are ready. It's a good time to fry some and send them to Chunshu Hutong. It's not a good idea to leave them here all the time.

When in Andong, Tang Zhitong once specifically asked Tang Steel how to process pine nuts.

Tang Gang explained several common practices to the younger brother in detail.

The first is dry stir-frying, where the pine nuts are directly put into the pan and stir-fried continuously until the pine nuts change color and make crackling sounds, at which point the flavor begins to come out. Take out and spread out to cool thoroughly before eating.
The second method is to stir-fry with yellow sand. Put the yellow sand into the pot and stir-fry until it is dry and hot. Then pour in the sugar water and stir well. When the sugar smoke just comes out, put in the pine nuts and stir-fry over medium-low heat for about 5-10 minutes. When the pine nuts turn yellow, you can remove them from the pot, sieve out the sand, let them dry and eat.

The third method is to soak it first, then steam it, ventilate and dry it, and finally stir-fry it over low heat, which is somewhat similar to the first method.

More than 300 kilograms of pine nuts were finally dried, and Tang Zhitong would definitely not choose the third option.

The second method involved using both sugar and sand, but Tang Zhitong thought it was too time-consuming, so he gave it up and ultimately chose the first method.
