Two people were chatting here when a flashlight lit up on the ridge of the field.

"Hongyi, Xiaoyu..."

However, Xiao Yawen was anxious when he saw that they had not returned home until dark, so he pulled Liu Chuan over to find them.

Liu Hongyi hurriedly shouted: "Mom, we are here, it's okay!"

Liu Chuan and Xiao Yawen rushed over following the noise and complained, "What's wrong with you two kids? You're still out so late. Doctor Chen said you wanted to cook a pheasant for yourselves, but you don't have anything. How are you going to cook it?"

Liu Hongyi was happy: "Mom, Dad, you came at the right time. The pheasant is ready. Come and have some together."

"Yes, Aunt Xiao, come and have some. The stewed chicken Liu Hongyi makes is delicious. It's even better than the one we make at home. It smells so good..."

In fact, Liu Chuan and Xiao Yawen smelled the fragrance from a distance.

I took the chicken handed to me by Liu Hongyi and Ai Xiaoyu, took a bite with some skepticism, and was immediately amazed.

"Hey, it's really delicious. How did you make it..."

"It's Liu Hongyi. He makes beggar's chicken. He wraps the chicken in yellow mud and simmers it over charcoal..."

Ai Xiaoyu hurriedly explained to Liu Chuan and Xiao Yawen, looking proud of herself.

After all, the pheasant was caught by her and Liu Hongyi together, and she also helped to collect firewood, so she did make some contribution.

"Hongyi, who did you learn this skill from? It's quite good. Are you planning to be a chef in the future?"

Liu Chuan couldn't help but make a joke.

He hasn't eaten meat for a long time.

Still such delicious stewed chicken.

When celebrating Huang Anping's birthday, some meat was prepared, but Liu Chuan was a man of rules. He mainly ate fried peanuts and boiled five-spice beans, and gave the roast duck and braised beef to several old leaders.

After all, they were "detained" in the cadre school for such a long time and had very few opportunities to eat meat.

Liu Hongyi couldn't help but "complain" in his heart: What kind of restaurant is so arrogant that it can afford to hire the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission as a chef?

"Dad, I have a pheasant and two turtledoves. I plan to use them as a gift for my apprenticeship."

"Apprenticeship gift?"

"Who do you want to be your master?"

Liu Chuan asked in surprise.

"Chief Engineer Tan, Tan Dexi!"

"he?"

"He's a notorious stubborn person in our cadre school. He usually doesn't like to talk to anyone."

Liu Chuan frowned.

"But he is also the chief engineer of Factory 576."

Factory 576, known externally as Qingshan Machinery Factory, is actually a military-industrial enterprise and one of the backbone factories of the Third Line in Jingjiang Province.

Tan Dexi was the undisputed soul of Factory 576, a renowned artillery design expert even within the Ministry of Ordnance Industry. Even in another time and space, Mr. Tan would have been a highly respected expert and scholar by Liu Hongyi.

Tan Dexi was difficult to deal with and was notoriously difficult to deal with throughout the cadre school.

The old man has a rather eccentric personality. He doesn't like chatting with people and prefers to immerse himself in his own world.

When I first arrived at the cadre school, my luggage was quite simple, just a few sets of clothes, but I brought a large box of various books and draft paper, as well as an abacus.

Yes, you read that right. The chief engineer of a military-industrial enterprise used an auxiliary calculation tool, not the calculator we are familiar with, but a very ancient abacus.

This was actually the norm in the 1960s and 1970s.

The two bombs and one satellite research teams all used abacus extensively as an auxiliary calculation tool.

At that time, there were very few large computers in our country. Any scientific research unit with a Chinese character in its name that wanted to use computing power had to submit a report in advance and then start a long wait in line.

As for local scientific research institutions and military-industrial enterprises, it is not their turn at all.

Over the years, Tan Dexi has used an abacus and a pen to solve one difficult calculation problem after another and designed various excellent artillery pieces. Several of these artillery pieces have won awards at the National Science Conference and have been deployed throughout the army.

However, such a chief engineer of "national hero" level was also labeled as "certain authority" and was unceremoniously sent to Yanggou Cadre School, where he stayed for three or four years.
