A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 194 New ideas

Li Xiang has been very busy recently.

Because an idea suddenly occurred to me.

The laboratory door, which had been locked for a few days, was reopened again.

By the way, I also picked up a few young men who didn't go home during the winter vacation this year.

The inspiration for this idea came from when Li Xiang was ordered by his mother to go out to make soy sauce.

In this weather where dogs are too lazy to go out, Li Xiang was kicked out of the house after lunch.

Euphemistically called it, walk a few steps after eating to eliminate food.

In recent days, it has been snowing heavily in BJ.

In order to keep the roads clear, sanitation workers are always on call and will clear the snow on the ground every now and then.

Li wanted to shrink his neck, hunch his nose, and push up his sleeves, all in one set. Except for his handsome face, his whole posture was no different from those idle people who usually like to lean against the wall.

As he walked, his steps slowly stopped, and his eyes were attracted by a scene.

Not far away, a sanitation worker was sitting on the curb.

He took out a nest from his arms, took a big bite and chewed it.

Maybe it's because I'm worried about the snowflakes still falling on my head, maybe because my stomach has been empty for a long time, maybe because I'm afraid of being rushed by time.

He ate in a hurry, and Li Xiangjue thought it would be easy to choke if he ate this way.

Sure enough, as soon as this idea came to mind, there was a rapid choking sound from the sanitation worker.

I saw him quickly opening the lid of the kettle next to him and taking a big gulp of water.

From the spout with no smoke, it can be seen that this is a jug of ice water after being outdoors for so long.

It is said to be a kettle, but it is actually a long tube made of wood. It is very similar to the long glass cup of later generations, but the material is wood.

Yes, teacups and teapots are not as common as today.

Families with difficult conditions often use ladles or bowls to drink water at home, let alone bring a cup when going out.

Anyone who has a military kettle that can be taken out is treated as a treasure.

Moreover, the current military kettles are not without their shortcomings, that is, they do not maintain heat.

In winter, it functions like the sanitation worker's wooden kettle, which can only be used to store water.

The weather is too cold, the temperature is more than [-] degrees below zero.

The worker only made a brief gesture of drinking water, and the steamed bun in his hand, which had been warmed by body temperature, suddenly felt cold.

The next bite is no longer as easy as before, so I can only tear it in small bites.

But the worker didn't mind it. He took a small bite and felt a little choked after chewing a few times, so he took a sip of water from the pot.

In such weather, cold food and cold water, Li Xiang sighed, his heart clenched somehow.

After returning from shopping, the image of the worker eating remained lingering in Li Xiang's mind.

He didn't eat well at night, nor did he sleep well.

Thinking that this was not going to work, he had to do something.

He rushed to school the next day and started the work in hand.

He thought about it for a long time last night and found that it is not difficult to solve the problem of keeping food and water warm, but no one has thought of it now.

Just shrink the inner tank of the water bottle and it can be used as an insulated lunch box and thermos cup.

However, Li Xiang’s insulated lunch box when he was a child had a ceramic liner. He needed to study this. After all, there is a difference between food without oil and water and only water. Li Xiang didn’t know if using water bottle liner to keep food warm would have any impact. .

Li wanted to write out the plan and immediately went to the teacher to seek his advice.

As soon as Professor Hao heard this, he knew that this plan was quite reliable. Without saying a word, he immediately initiated a relationship and began to sway people. The next day, Li Xiang had already led Sun Guoqing, Xu Wei, and He Jun to the thermos bottle factory.

Within a few days, once he had a thorough knowledge of the product, the drawings for the thermos cup came out of Li Xiang’s hands first.

There were drawings with accurate data, and the thermos bottle factory did not waste any time. The outer shell and the inner tank were completed almost at the same time.

After assembling it, I poured water into it and tested it, and everyone was very satisfied with the result.

It is basically the same as the heat preservation time of a thermos, and is not affected by changes in capacity and shape.

The advent of this product was like a pie falling out of thin air to the thermos bottle factory.

The approval process went very quickly. Li Xiang and the others were still researching on insulated lunch boxes, and the factory here had already begun to set up a production line.

To use the rough words of Director Qi, the leader of the thermos bottle factory, there is no difference between being unable to catch the wealth and wealth from the sky and being unable to catch the hot stuff after eating shit.

Unlike the factory director who spoke in a vulgar manner, he was extremely careful and considerate in his work.

Knowing that the insulated lunch box at the back would have to rely on Li Xiang and several people.

He did not act passively like Director Yang of the steel rolling mill before, pushing and pushing before moving.

I gave credit to Li Xiang, a small R&D team, early on, even before there was any approval from the higher-ups.

He made use of the resources in the factory and distributed part of the rewards in advance.

The rewards were so generous that Xu Wei and He Jun were still sighing. They were glad that they did not go back this year, otherwise such benefits would not be available to them.

"Now you two are also successful people with cars and watches. When your brothers come back at the beginning of the new year, your eyes will be red with envy." Sun Guoqing joked as he kept working on his hands.

"I don't know if it's popular or not, but I guess not many people will want to go home during the holidays next year." Xu Wei responded with a grin.

I didn't want to go home originally because I wanted to avoid questioning from my family.

How can I go to school and lose my partner?

He was only a few steps away from Zhao Shanyan's family, so this situation was only embarrassing.

So this year he did not go back because he was busy with his studies.

I didn't expect that there would be such a surprise in the hidden place.

When I mail something to my family later, it won’t be considered a lie.

Thinking of this, the remaining haze in my heart was completely shaken off.

In other words, success for men is the top method of improving self-confidence.

"That's right, everyone knows that if you follow Li Xiang, there will be meat to eat from behind. If you don't follow closely, what will you do if you fall behind?"

Sun Guoqing's words were rough and unreasonable, and sounded too flattering to others.

But in the hearts of those who have actually benefited, this is quite true.

As the person being discussed, Li Xiang did not pick up on his words.

Then we talked about the lunch box.

"I think it will be difficult to get the ceramic liner out in a while."

"Yes, I have tried it several times. It looks like that, but the thermal insulation effect is zero." He Jun scratched his head, feeling helpless.

He had followed up on the trial production process, but there had been no good news. He felt a little sorry for Li Xiang.

"It doesn't matter. Before I made this plan, I had already imagined that such a situation would happen. Now it's just that my prediction has come true. After all, we are not deeply involved in this industry, nor are we experts in this field."

Li Xiang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

It seems that we still can’t take too big a step and we have to seek truth from facts.
