Chapter 149 The correct way to eat pickles

Get up in the morning,

Before Wu Youde went out, he heard the noise outside, but he didn't pay attention. There were so many people living in this courtyard, and the morning and evening were the busiest times.

But when he opened the door to go out to use the toilet, he was shocked to find that many people in the courtyard were... playing briquettes.

Except for Yan Bugui, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang and his son,

Xu Damao is also there, and his father Xu Wood!
  Five people were beating briquettes there. Yan Jiefang and Xu Damao each held a shovel in their hands and kept stirring the pulverized coal slurry.

From time to time, I would put the shovel up and shovel it with a bang-dong-dong sound. This is to shovel the big coal lumps and lime lumps inside. After the shovel is broken, the various raw materials and water can be better integrated together. The briquettes produced in this way have the best quality.

As for Yan Bugui, Yan Jiecheng, and Xu Wood, each of them holds a mold in his hand.

The mold is made of iron and is in the shape of a T. The bottom end is a large round tube with small cylinders inside. Take the mold and pound it into the pulverized coal slurry a few times, then carry the mold to the side and press the top With the handle, a standard honeycomb briquette is squeezed out.

Leave the briquettes in place. After two or three days of sunburn, you can take them away and stack them up for display.

The five people work together in an orderly and efficient manner.

When Wu Youde pushed the door open and came out, there was already a large area of ​​briquettes neatly arranged in the yard, at least two to three hundred of them.

This large pile of dark briquettes formed a sharp contrast with the white snow on the surrounding roofs!

Seeing this scene, he was very surprised!
  It is normal for Yan Bugui and his son to play briquettes here. The father and son have been playing briquettes for half a month.

I play two or three hours in the morning before going to work, and another two or three hours in the evening after I get back from get off work.

So far, a total of about 2,000 have been beaten.

All belong to Wu Youde.

This is also what Yan Bugui promised to Wu Youde when he purchased coal in a group, and now he is just fulfilling his promise.

But why are Xu Wood and Xu Damao here?
  Even if his family plays briquettes, it should be in the backyard. What the hell is going on in the middle yard?

and,

Wu Youde clearly saw that the briquettes extruded from the mold in Xu Wood's hand were also placed in the pile next to Yan Bugui.

Wu Youde raised his eyebrows, was he making briquettes for his family?

Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Damao saw him with sharp eyes and immediately shouted: "Brother Angkor, are you up? Morning!"

"Well, get up."

Wu Youde walked over and said with a smile: "Good morning, everyone. Thank you for your hard work, Third Master, Jiefang and Jiecheng."

"Uncle Xu, Damao, what are you doing?"

Xu Wood put down the mold in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "Good morning, Director Wu, haha... I have finished making briquettes at home."

"It didn't snow last night. I see that you still have so much coal to grind at home. Anyway, you have nothing to do at home. If you come to help me, it's just like exercising."

Hit briquettes.

Exercise?

This reason is really impeccable!
  Wu Youde was too lazy to expose it. Anyway, someone was working for him for free. Isn't that a good thing?
  In this case, we can finish making briquettes today.

"Thank you so much. Excuse me, Uncle Xu, and Damao. Have you all eaten?"

"Eat, eat, come out after eating!"

Xu Wood smiled and said repeatedly: "Director Wu, just take care of your business and don't worry about us."

"Um...this..."

Xu Damao opened his mouth, then closed it again unwillingly.

In fact, he really wanted to say that he could still eat some more...

He had seen and tasted the quality of Wu Youde's food.

The braised pork is really braised pork. Each one is a big piece of meat. It's hard to find a dish to eat in it.

How does it feel like home...

The braised pork is filled with vegetables, including radish lumps, potato lumps, and cabbage. If you want to eat a piece of meat, you have to search hard among the vegetables to find it.

While he was working in the yard, he could already smell several scents.

There is the smell of meat, scrambled eggs, and steamed white flour buns, all wafting out from the kitchen window of Wu Youde's house...

The food at Angkor’s house is really good!

This morning, there are eggs, meat, and steamed white flour buns...

Xu Damao's mouth watered. He wanted to have a meal, but his father refused him first. This made him so angry that he almost wanted to jump! !

"That's it, everyone is busy, I'm going to wash my face and eat."

Wu Youde said with a smile, turned around and entered the kitchen.

Yan Bugui, who was next to him, felt a little unhappy. Why didn't he ask himself?

In the morning, I ate two steamed buns, drank a bowl of stick rice porridge, and a plate of dried radishes. I'm not very hungry!
  After shooting more than 200 briquettes, my stomach was empty again.

'This boy is really becoming more and more of a thief! '

'I still don't know how to respect the old and love the young...'

Yan Bugui thought to himself, and turned around to see Yan Jiecheng standing there holding the mold, not moving for a long time.

"Jie Cheng, don't be lazy, hurry up!"

"We must finish all the coal today while the snow stops. If heavy snow comes in two days, it will be a disaster."

"hurry up!"

Yan Jiecheng said with a bitter face, "Dad, I'm hungry and I have no energy to work anymore."

"fart!"

Yan Bugui was furious and cursed: "You boy also ate two steamed buns, a big bowl of rice porridge, and thirty dried radishes this morning."

"It's only been so long, why are you hungry?"

"Don't be naughty. Work quickly. When you're done, go home and drink some water."

Before Yan Jiecheng spoke, Xu Damao couldn't help it anymore. He was amazed in his heart.

"Jie Cheng, how many pickles can your family eat at most at one time?"

Yan Jiecheng's face turned red instantly. He groaned for a long time and didn't know how to answer.

He had no choice but to turn around and talk about coal, without answering Xu Damao's words.

He felt embarrassed and embarrassed to say it.

But Yan Bugui didn't think so. He still looked complacent, looked at Xu Damao, and said earnestly: "Da Mao, you are young. As the saying goes, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are when you are not a family member."

"When you get married in the future, you will know that life is not easy. If you want to live a good life, you have to plan carefully."

"Is thirty pickles a meal too little?"

"That's quite a lot!"

"You eat three mouthfuls of steamed buns, one pickle, two mouthfuls of soup, and one pickle, no more, no less, just right!"

"Young man, you are still young..."

"whispering sound!"

Xu Damao sneered and curled his lips disdainfully, too lazy to elaborate further.

Who in the entire courtyard doesn't know that Yan Laoxi is stingy?

……

Wu Youde entered the kitchen,
  Only then did I understand why Xu Wood and Xu Damao, father and son, came to make briquettes for their family early in the morning.

Liu Cuifang must have come back last night and told her family about seeing her at Lou Zhenhua's house.

then,

The Xu family may think that they have a very close relationship with Lou Zhenhua, and they want to hug their thighs so that they can have a better time in the steel rolling mill, such as a promotion and a salary increase?

After thinking about it, Wu Youde smiled. He didn't have any resentment in his heart, nor did he have any intention of looking down on the Xu family.

This kind of thinking is normal and reasonable.

……

Wu Youde figured out the unusual behavior of the Xu family.

But he couldn't understand the Jia Zhang family next door...

When going out in the morning, Wu Youde pushed his bicycle out and walked to the hanging flower gate. Jia Zhang met him.

The hanging flower gate is relatively narrow, and Wu Youde is pushing a bicycle, which makes it difficult to pass through at the same time.

What surprised Wu Youde was that Mrs. Jia and Zhang had already reached the entrance of Chuihua Gate. After seeing herself, she actually left again...

Mrs. Jia Zhang took five or six steps back, completely letting go of the hanging flower door.

This move really surprised Wu Youde.

He looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang's face and found that it was quite normal, without any anger or malice. Wu Youde pushed the cart out of the Chuihua Gate.

Xue Chunmei followed behind and looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang curiously. Obviously, she also felt that Mrs. Jia Zhang's behavior today was a bit strange.

In addition to the courtyard house,
  Wu Youde smiled and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know either."

This nonsense made Xue Chunmei laugh immediately.

"Maybe she is in a good mood today? Or has she encountered some happy event?"

"Then who knows, it's possible that she has a convulsion, and what happy events will happen to her family."

Wu Youde curled his lips. He really didn't think there would be any happy events in the Jia family. When the winners of the team competition were announced yesterday, he also listened.

There is no second workshop at all, which means that in this singing competition, Jia Dongxu got nothing but an enamel basin.

Is this a happy thing?
  Take a look at Liu Haizhong's house. In the morning, Wu Youde heard the second aunt making noises in the courtyard, saying that she was going to bring two kilograms of pork that Liu Haizhong brought back from get off work yesterday, chop it all into mince, add some white radish, and make dumplings to eat. .

Then she also said that Liu Haizhong was given a pair of cotton shoes yesterday, and that pair of cotton shoes was going to be worn by his eldest son Liu Guangqi...

After all the bragging, everyone in the courtyard felt sour in their stomachs and their faces were full of envy!

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Youde didn't bother to think too much.

It doesn’t matter who she loves.

Arriving at the steel rolling mill,
  Now that he is the boss in the Publicity Department, he naturally can't just sneak into his small office, close the door, and have a cup of tea all day long.

He has to arrange work and assign tasks, otherwise the publicity department will be shut down.

Speaking of which, it has been two months since he arrived in the Publicity Department, but so far, he has no idea how many people there are in the Publicity Department, what jobs and responsibilities they have, etc.

He doesn't know!

This made Wu Youde feel a little embarrassed.

He first called Xue Chunmei to his office, and then asked about the specific situation of the Propaganda Department. This was the benefit of having his own person.

In fact, Xue Chunmei had wanted to say this for a long time, but when she saw that Wu Youde had never been interested and stayed away from the Propaganda Department, she just let it go.

Now Wu Youde took the initiative to ask, and she immediately introduced the Publicity Department in detail...

Wu Youde listened very carefully, and from time to time he would take a pen to write down a few things in his notebook.

After listening, he fell into deep thought.

According to Xue Chunmei's introduction, the Publicity Department is, to put it bluntly, a department that 'writes notices' and 'posts notices'. The notices written are all ordered by the factory leaders.

In addition, it also has the function of 'playing movies'.

It seems that the Publicity Department is useless and of no importance, giving people a feeling of being dispensable.

In fact, it's almost the same. In the eyes of the steel rolling mill workers, propaganda science is really not very important, let alone a deterrent.

In their eyes, the Publicity Department is worse than the security team in the factory...

This made Wu Youde very dissatisfied!
  Now that he has taken over the Publicity Department, he should make the most of it and bring out its value!
  Make it an important department that no one dares to ignore!
  So, how can you do this?
