Traveling through 70's wine

Wen Qing's house in Erxia Village has been repaired. It has a high courtyard wall, three rooms in the front, two rooms in the east wing, a kitchen and bathroom in the west wing, and a well in the backyard has also been dug. Wen Qing is very satisfied.

She paid everyone their wages and gave each person an extra 50 kilograms of corn. To build the yard, she exchanged many of the materials for the items in the space. She only used cash to buy bricks and tiles and to pay everyone's wages.

Now she goes home every day. The school has no strict regulations on whether students should live on campus. She also told her roommates that she has found a place to live outside the school, and usually does not go back to the dormitory at night.

Her bed is still there, and sometimes she goes back to take a nap at noon.

The Ministry of Machinery sent a commendation document and a bonus of 2000 yuan. The Department of Machinery was very proud of the achievement of a first-year student. The Ministry of Agriculture also required the promotion of this agricultural machinery in tea gardens.

As a technician, Wen Qing joined the promotion team formed by the Ministry of Machinery and the school and went to Ping'an County in Jiangnan. Ping'an County has three large tea gardens, and the county government recommended a pilot project in Qishan Tea Garden.

Qishan Tea Garden has 150 acres of tea garden. Wen Qing demonstrated to them how to operate the tea picking machine. They watched the tea picking machine "click" and the blades turn. The picked tea leaves were transferred to the bags at the back by belts. Once the bags were full, the people following were responsible for replacing the new empty bags.

The old tea farmers opened the bags full of tea leaves and poured the tea leaves onto a bamboo plate. Most of the tea leaves had one leaf and one bud, which met the knife settings they had determined in advance. The other unqualified tea leaves were picked out manually.

Wen Qing readjusted the tool parameters and started picking another piece of land. This time, he picked two leaves and one bud, and the picking results were basically satisfactory.

Since the distance between tea trees in Qishan Tea Garden is not completely suitable for the tea picking machine, Wen Qing slightly adjusted the length of the tea picking arm and explained the operation of the tea picking machine to the surrounding tea farmers.

Wen Qing and his team brought three tea-picking machines this time. The Ping'an County Industrial Bureau sent someone to contact Wen Qing. "Hello, Technician Wen!"

Wen Qing looked at the middle-aged man and replied gently: "Hello, who are you?"

The man said, "My last name is Huang, and I work at the county agricultural machinery factory. I would like to ask if we can make tea-picking machines for our agricultural machinery factory?"

Wen Qing was stunned, and felt that the Ping'an County Agricultural Machinery Factory responded very quickly, so she said, "Comrade Huang, I'm not sure about this. You can ask the comrades in the Machinery Department."

Old Huang acted quickly and found Director Zhang, who led the Mechanical Department, on the same day. Old Huang convinced Director Zhang by citing the reasons of pilot promotion and maintenance needs, and obtained the production license for the tea picking machine.

Wen Qing and Lao Huang arrived at the county agricultural machinery factory, only to find out that the factory was originally just a place to repair agricultural machinery and had no production capacity at all. Lao Huang was the factory director, named Huang Zhen.

Old Huang complained to Wen Qing, "Comrade Wen, our factory cannot make ends meet just by repairing farm machinery, and the farm machinery factory cannot develop.

To be honest, the production of tea-picking machines this time may be an opportunity for the development of the agricultural machinery factory. Excuse me, what other equipment do you think our factory needs to add to produce tea-picking machines? "

Wen Qing also wanted to buy some equipment through the agricultural machinery factory, so she said, "I can help you build a tea-picking machine production line, but there is a condition."

"What conditions?"

"I need some equipment myself. Can you buy more when you buy equipment? I'll pay for it myself."

Old Huang was silent for a while, then said, "Sure. All new equipment needs approval documents, and acceptance in the future will also be a problem. I can help you find some second-hand equipment. In fact, old equipment can still be used after repair."

Wen Qing spent three days helping the agricultural machinery factory to make a design drawing of the production line, and gave it to Director Huang along with the design drawing of the tea picking machine and a list of equipment she needed.

After Director Huang received the equipment list, he organized the factory's technicians to analyze which equipment could be used and which equipment needed to be added.

Director Huang was very proactive. He immediately contacted familiar manufacturers or asked for introductions, and tried every possible way to buy new equipment.

The Ping'an County government was pleased to see the machine repair factory produce tea-picking machines, and the relevant approval documents were quickly issued. Director Huang was very efficient and replied to Wen Qing within a few days, "Technician Wen, the equipment has been purchased. Can you give me some guidance on how to use it?"

Wen Qing took out the production process diagram he had written and instructed the workers in the factory to start installing the production line.

The production process of tea picking machines is not complicated. The parts processed by the machine repair factory are just some cutters, bearings, conveyor belts, connecting rods, etc. Tractor parts are also needed before they can be assembled. Wen Qing and other factory manager Huang will guide them to assemble the whole machine after the tractor parts they purchased arrive.

Factory Manager Huang took her to the warehouse and pointed to a gasoline engine, a diesel generator, an electric welder, and a rice mill, and said, "Technician Wen, although these equipment are old, they can all be used."

These devices were old equipment that Director Huang had found, but the machine repair shop had all of them repaired, and some of the parts inside were also replaced with new ones. Director Huang only asked for 3000 yuan, which was indeed a friendly price.

Wen Qing thanked him and readily gave him 3000 yuan. She also asked him to transport the equipment to a warehouse she had contacted in advance. Director Huang did not ask any further questions and had the factory's vehicle transport the equipment to her.

Two days later, the machine repair factory got tractor parts, and Wen Qing guided them to start producing tea picking machines.

She had very high requirements for the precision of each component, and the workers in the machine repair factory were very cooperative. Three days later, a brand new tea picking machine was completed. Director Huang said happily: "Technician Wen, you can come to me if you have any problems in the future."

After the news that the machine repair factory could produce tea picking machines spread, the tea picking machines needed by the three tea gardens in Ping'an County and hundreds of tea gardens in Jiangnan Province could be purchased from the Ping'an Agricultural Machinery Factory. Their factory also had an independent product and got rid of its previous predicament.

Wen Qing went to the warehouse and put the equipment into the space. She only rented this warehouse for three days.

Wen Qing now lives in three tea gardens with the promotion team. They brought a total of three tea-picking machines, two people in a group. The person in her group is a boy named Zhang Zitao.

They lived in the educated youth center of Qishan Tea Garden. There used to be 8 educated youth in Qishan Tea Garden, but 6 of them have left one after another, leaving only 2, so they each had a room.

During the day, Wen Qing guides tea farmers in operating tea picking machines in the Qishan Tea Garden, and also guides everyone to carry out standardized transformation of the tea garden. At night, she takes care of the crops in the space.

After solving the problem at the agricultural machinery factory, she had time to go to the space to harvest the crops.

This season's crops in the space were planted when she first arrived in Pingjing, and now it's time to harvest them.

Harvesting 240 acres of land is a very laborious job. Wen Qing uses both machinery and manual labor. It takes half a month to complete in space time, which means it takes 4 days to complete in real time.

While harvesting, Wen Qing also took time to go to Ping'an County to find grain dealers.

She discovered that there were four black markets in Ping'an County, each run by a group of people.

Although open self-employed individuals had already appeared in a county in central China at the beginning of the year, Ping'an County has not yet completely opened up the free market. However, the control over the market has been significantly relaxed. In addition, Jiangnan has always respected business since ancient times, so as long as it is the farmers' own surplus grain, it can be traded.

Wen Qing put on simple makeup, trimmed her eyebrows very thin, enlarged her nose, and smeared dark powder on her face, turning herself into a rural woman commonly seen in the south of the Yangtze River. She carried a large bag and went to a black market in the west of the city. She walked to the largest grain stall and said, "Please find your boss." This was the stall she had spotted in advance, and there was a high possibility that she could contact the black market owner.
