Siheyuan: I can simplify skills

Yu Li, Yan Jiecheng's daughter-in-law, is very envious. The Xu Yang family's life is much better than that of the Yan family. They can smell the fragrance these days, and now they have a radio. They live a happy life.After I got married, I only had a few meals of meat.Not to mention eating meat, I haven’t even eaten white flour steamed buns a few times.Even the Erhe noodles were eaten sparingly, and they were all steamed buns and steamed buns. When Yu Li was dreaming, she took a bite out of Yan Jiecheng's hand. In the dream, she was eating pig's feet.

There are seven members of the Yan family. Only Yan Bugui officially works, but his salary is only more than 20 yuan a month.Yan Jiecheng is working as an apprentice and pays five yuan a month at home as food expenses for the couple.

Unlike her sister Yu Haitang, Yu Li didn't go to school after finishing primary school.Because the Yu family cannot afford to send several children to school.So Yu Li, the eldest child in the family, dropped out of school early and went home to help her parents with her younger siblings.

This situation is very common in this era.

Yan Jiefang ran to Xu Yang's house with Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi.

Chapter 45

"Brother Xu Yang, have you bought a radio?" Yan Jiefang's eyes lit up as he looked at Xu Yang's radio.

Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi also had bright eyes. In this era, the most common entertainment device for ordinary people was this radio.

There are also televisions, but they are very rare and can hardly be found in ordinary people's homes.

Xu Yang nodded: "I bought a scrap radio at the scrap collection station and repaired it myself. Otherwise, where would I get the radio ticket?"

Although radios are widely popular and the technical difficulty is not particularly difficult, production is not an easy task for this poor and just starting country.Radios are also in-demand industrial products that can only be purchased with tickets.

Yan Jiekuang exclaimed: "Brother Xu Yang, you can repair the radio!"

"What's the big deal? I learned it from here. If you want to make a radio, learn it yourself." Xu Yang found a book from the book he had read before and threw it to Yan Jiefang.

Yan Jiefang took the book and opened it. I knew the words inside, but how did they put them together?

At this time, Xu Yang took apart another radio, checked the wiring inside, and quickly found out what was wrong.There are only a few places where radio problems are likely to occur. If you try them one by one, you can basically find the problem.

At first, the three brothers and sisters Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi watched Xu Yangxiu's radio intently, but after a while, they were attracted by the programs on the radio.

There is a lack of entertainment projects in this era, and radio programs that may sound boring to people like Xu Yang who have traveled through time are wonderful to people of this era.

Yan Jiedi always stared at the loudspeaker that made the sound, trying to find the person speaking inside.

Xu Yang removed one or two accessories from the relatively worn radio and repaired the other radio that day.But he didn't try it because he only bought a pair of batteries.Yan Jiefang and the others were listening intently, so it was not good for him to disturb them.

A total of three old radios were purchased, two were repaired, and the other one became a parts supplier.Simply use a multimeter to measure the resistance and continue to improve your electronic repair skills.

Having just repaired two radios, the electronic repair skill proficiency has been raised to mastery (127/1000).An increase of more than 100 points.

Of course, he didn't measure resistance randomly, but tested it on that slightly worn radio.As his skills continue to improve, he is also thinking about how to modify this radio to make it more powerful.

In fact, the quality of the circuit components inside the radio is not very good. After cleaning, it looks like new, but the outer shell may have been dropped and has some cracks.But if it's repaired, it won't affect the functionality of the radio.

If you touch up the shell again and put some paint on it, it will look like new again.

He didn't plan to paint the bike right away because he had to work every day these days and the paint wouldn't dry in a day.It's best to let it dry for a day or two.After all, paint in this era is not quick-drying.

After a while, Yan Bugui came to Xu Yang's house and was about to tell the three little bastards to go back to bed.

"Hey, Xu Yang, can you repair radios?" Yan Bugui asked in surprise.

"After reading the book, I know how to do some simple repairs. In fact, the inside of this radio is basically intact, except that the welding head is loose and one or two parts are broken. If the fault is too complicated, I may not be able to repair it well." Xu Yang said.

"That's not easy anymore." Yan Bugui looked at the radio Xu Yang placed on the table with some envy.Then he looked at the one Xu Yang was repairing.

"The scrap collection station bought three scrap radios and repaired that one," Xu Yang said.

"You've repaired one, and you're still not satisfied? The second uncle spent dozens of dollars on a radio," Yan Bugui said.

Originally, in this courtyard, his family was the only one with a bicycle, Liu Haizhong's was the only one with a radio, and Jia's was the only one with a sewing machine. These were all rare items.It's good now, Xu Yang's family has a bicycle radio.Two turns and one beep, everything is in order except the watch.If Xu Yang prepares another sewing machine in the future, it will turn three times and beep once.With these things, finding a partner couldn't be easier.

When Yan Jiecheng was able to negotiate with Yu Li, his bicycle played a big role.It wasn't until Li got married that she realized she had been deceived. The only thing the family could afford was the bicycle, and all they ate were steamed buns every day.It's just a matter of time and again. Negative reviews are fine, but returns are impossible.

"That's different. His is brand new. I bought it from a junkyard." Xu Yang said.

"But this radio still looks like new. Why was it abandoned at the scrap collection station?" Yan Bugui said.

"If something is broken, it is just a display at home." Xu Yang said.

"It's just a decoration. If you can't repair it, do you still want it?" Yan Bugui wished he could take back the broken radio from Xu Yang and use it as a decoration.

"Of course. Even though it's broken, some of the accessories inside are still good and can be used to repair things in the future," Xu Yang said.

"Xu Yang, if I go to the scrap recycling station to buy an old radio and come back, can you help me repair it?" Yan Bugui wanted to take advantage of it when he saw it.

"That's not okay. I just happened by chance. If you buy it back, I may not be able to fix it." Xu Yang would not let Yan Bugui take advantage of it in vain.

Yan Bugui was a little frustrated because he didn't take advantage of this.

"Stop listening, go home and sleep. Brother Xu Yang has to go to work tomorrow. Don't disturb his rest." Yan Bugui took the three of them back.

On the way home, Yan Jiefang said: "Dad, I want to learn to repair radios."

"This is good. If you have good skills, if you repair the radio, we will have a radio at home. We can also earn some labor fees by repairing radios for others." Yan Bugui said.

"Then you can help me buy a set of tools to repair the radio." Yan Jiefang said.

Yan Bugui's lips twitched. Although he didn't understand, he knew without asking that Xu Yang's set of tools for repairing radios were definitely not cheap.

"You're stupid, why do you have to buy your own tools? Couldn't you just borrow Xu Yang's tools? He has to go to work every day, so you use them when Xu Yang goes to work. When he gets off work, you return them to him. Can't you eat? If you are poor, you will not be poor; if you fail to calculate, you will be poor." Yan Bugui praised his shrewdness.

When Yan Jiefang heard this, he also felt that Yan Bugui's method was very good.Because he hasn't read the maintenance book yet.If he really spent money and didn't learn this skill, he would definitely not be able to escape the filial piety of a father and a son.

Naturally, Xu Yang would not agree to repair a radio for Yanbu Guibai.As soon as this is started, the neighbors in the courtyard will definitely come to the door one by one. Will he help or not? .

Chapter 46 Guo Dabao wants to become a disciple

Xu Yang would definitely not help these people in vain. Not to mention there were so many beasts here. Even if he was a normal neighbor, he would not help others for no reason.The favor of rice rises, and the hatred of rice rises.Giving without reason may not necessarily be a good deed.

"This Xu Yang is so stingy. He refused to help me repair a radio, and the neighbors don't know how to help each other." Yan Bugui muttered when he arrived at home.He had forgotten that he accepted He Yuzhu's gift but did not want to introduce it to He Yuzhu.

One night passed, Xu Yang got up early and simplified his hunting skills.If you want to eat meat in this era, just relying on those meat tickets is simply not enough.If Xu Yang didn't practice martial arts, it wouldn't be a big problem if he didn't eat meat.But Xu Yang has now achieved a small degree of success in Taizu Changquan, and he may become a big one in the near future, and the consumption will be even greater.

In addition, Xingyiquan and Bajiquan have not been practiced yet. If these two martial arts are also practiced, the consumption will increase exponentially.Not having enough meat supplement will cause huge losses.It might leave the root of the disease.

Now that Xu Yang has a bicycle, it is not difficult to go hunting in the mountains in the suburbs. You can reach the mountains and forests in the suburbs in about two or three hours by bike, so you can go out early in the morning and hunt in the mountains. After a few hours of hunting, I could still come back in the evening;..[-].

"Hunting skill is being simplified...simplification successful...Hunting skill → Draw the bow."

I happen to have bicycle wheel wire at home, which is very elastic wire. It can be used to make a small bow and arrow. For a quasi-level eight fitter, it couldn't be easier.

I made a small bow and arrow, made a few more arrows from bamboo strips, and used a nylon rope to make the bowstring.Then, while preparing breakfast, he drew his bow and improved his proficiency in hunting skills.

It’s very easy to get from beginner to proficient.By the time Xu Yang had breakfast, his hunting skill had been upgraded to proficient (145/300).By practicing, you can improve to mastery.

Xu Yang plans to practice hard at home in the past few days and strive to improve his skills to a small level before the weekend.That way, he could try hunting in the mountains.

When they arrived at the steel rolling mill, Zhao Xiangdong had arrived early and was reading the two fitter books Xu Yang had given him.

"Master, how are you studying?" Xu Yang asked.

"I feel that the skills of level [-] and level [-] fitters are still a bit difficult. The requirements are too strict. I'm worried that it will be difficult to achieve." Zhao Xiangdong shook his head, not very confident.

"Master, there is me. What are you worried about? Your foundation is absolutely fine. Very solid. If someone had guided you, you would have been an eighth-level fitter by now," Xu Yang said.

"It can't be that easy. If it were that easy, our workshop might only have Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter? Not to mention the eighth-level fitters, there has been almost no increase in sixth- and seventh-level fitters in recent years. They are still the same people." Zhao Xiangdong said .

"The atmosphere in our workshop is not good. The eighth-level fitter hides his skills for fear that others will surpass him and he will not be able to advance in the future," Xu Yang said.

Zhao Xiangdong nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that something happened to my master back then, otherwise I would be at least a sixth-level and seventh-level fitter now."

"Master, you should be more confident. In the past few days, we will practice the level [-] and level [-] fitter skills. Then we will take the level [-] fitter assessment together," Xu Yang said.

"Okay! Master will accompany you!" Zhao Xiangdong said.

What Zhao Xiangdong received today were all seventh-level workpieces, and there were several workpieces close to the eighth-level level. They were extremely difficult, and even Yi Zhonghai was reluctant to accept them.

Xu Yang's fitter skill is already at level seven (615/800) and will soon be upgraded to level eight.Therefore, level seven benchwork skills are almost at their peak.Processing level seven workpieces is naturally not a big problem.

But Zhao Xiangdong's skills are still a bit weak. After all, he is not like Xu Yang who cheats.Fortunately, his basic skills are solid. Even if he is processing level seven workpieces, he can still do it with guidance.

Several relatively simple seventh-level workpieces were all operated by Zhao Xiangdong. Xu Yang watched from the side, but hardly spoke, completely letting Zhao Xiangdong freely express himself.Xu Yang only reminded Zhao Xiangdong when he was not sure.

Zhao Xiangdong was still a little reluctant to let go at first, but later he found that he had not made any mistakes, and his mentality became much calmer.

When Xu Yang and Zhao Xiangdong were processing level seven workpieces, some fitters nearby would also come over to watch.After all, there are not many opportunities to process advanced workpieces in the workshop.It is also a very rare opportunity to be able to watch from the sidelines.

What's more, Xu Yang also talked about technical points and processing techniques from time to time.They looked here for a while, which was equivalent to receiving the guidance of a famous teacher in vain.

During the break, Guo Dayou handed Xu Yang a cigarette: "Do you want to smoke?"

This is rare. Guo Dapizi never gives cigarettes to his apprentices. Even Zhao Xiangdong rarely smokes Guo Dapizi's cigarettes.Guo Dabizi is a level six fitter, while Zhao Xiangdong is only a level five.Therefore, Mr. Guo doesn't like Zhao Xiangdong very much.

But it's different now. Zhao Xiangdong has a good apprentice. He actually skipped the sixth-level benchwork and started learning the seventh-level benchwork.

Guo Dabizi is already a senior fitter, and he is the kind of person who never teaches his disciples.

Xu Yang shook his head: "I don't smoke, thank you."

"Xu Yang, we old guys haven't improved our benchwork level for several years. We originally thought there would be no chance to improve it again, but when we saw you and Master Zhao processing level seven workpieces, we became motivated again. We just hope that you Can you spare some time to give us some guidance?" Guo Dashui said.

"How is this possible? I am just an apprentice, and you are all senior fitters." Xu Yang quickly refused.

"Xu Yang, don't be too busy to refuse. I know you have this ability. We will definitely not let you pay for it in vain. We are willing to pay the teaching fees. As long as you are willing to teach us seriously, we will collect the tuition fees for you." Guo Dapai said.

"There's no need to mention the tuition fee. If you want to learn, you can come over and take a look while my master and I are processing the seventh-level workpieces. You can also borrow my two books and read them. You can also buy them in the bookstore. You can also buy it yourself. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. It's best to come together. I also have to prepare for the fitter assessment now." Xu Yang said.

"Don't worry, we will definitely not delay your participation in the assessment." Guo Dabozi came to ask Xu Yang as a representative of many people.

Zhao Xiangdong was also worried that Xu Yang would delay his participation in the assessment in order to help others.Seeing that Xu Yang handled it so skillfully, he said nothing more.

Chapter 47 Level [-] Fitter

During the break, Xu Yang asked Zhao Xiangdong while tightening the screws: "Master, do you know where to find hemp walnuts?"

Zhao Xiangdong shook his head: "I heard that the dandy boys of the banner people used to play this. Don't get involved in it."

"I just want to get two walnuts to exercise the flexibility of my fingers, but the purpose is different from those dudes." Xu Yang said.

"That's it. It's a pity that I don't understand this either. I'll ask you when I get back." Zhao Xiangdong said.

"Xu Yang, I know a little about this. There is an old guy in our yard. I heard he was a stubborn master of the old city. He likes to play with bottles and cans, and ruins the family's fortune. The courtyard where we used to live was All his family's property belonged to other people. Fortunately, he had ruined it. Otherwise, their family would have been at least a rich man in their previous situation. In the end, he became a farmhand. Those who cheated his family's property in the past, especially his family's It's an old house. It's a big house that seven or eight people have entered! It's made of fine wood, just like a palace. The man was beaten into a rich man and even forced others to death. After liberation, he was confiscated He was so stubborn that he set the house on fire and was taken to be shot. When he was finally taken to be shot, he recognized the old guy and pointed at him and was speechless for a long time." Guo Da Said the skimmer.

"His family is the right one to lose." Xu Yang said with a smile.

"No, it was a blessing in disguise. After he lost his family, he had no fixed place to live, and his maid who had been dismissed took him in. Later, the two got married. The old guy stopped messing with bottles and jars. He does have some skills. Later I found a job in Liulichang. Now I have children and grandchildren. After retirement, I will take care of my grandchildren at home." Guo Dabozi.

"Does he know about Ma Walnut?" Xu Yang asked.

"I remember when I was a child, there were mountains around here. We picked a lot of walnuts in the mountains. We wanted to take them back to eat, but it turned out that there was no meat in the walnuts. This old guy said, these are sesame walnuts, which were very popular in 49 cities in the past. Wenwan walnuts. It is common for a pair of Wenwan walnuts in good condition to be replaced by a small courtyard house. Now in the new society, no one plays with this kind of things. These feudal cultures should be banned. It is really about playing with things to lose one's ambition." Guo Dayi Zi quickly criticized him to prevent others from hearing it and saying that he promoted feudal culture.
