Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

"What are you looking at?"

Long Lifan felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Hu Lili staring straight at her.

"Sister Fan, when did you become so familiar with Comrade Qi?" Hu Lili asked, her eyes darting around like she was watching a melon.

"We're not familiar with each other! We barely exchanged a few words."

Long Lifan thought for a moment. She and Qi Shishen seemed to have only traded twice: once when he bought medicine from her, and this time when she bought meat from him. Normally, the two rarely met, and even when they did, they would only exchange a token greeting.

"That's it!"

Hu Lili stared into her eyes and, realizing that Sister Fan didn't seem to be lying, immediately lost interest. The gossipy glint in her eyes vanished, and she pouted in disappointment.

"Sister Fan, could you sell me some of the meat?"

"Okay, but you'd better not take it over. I'll make it for you if you want to eat it later." Hu Lili and the others were eating with Lin Yue and Liu Pandi. It wasn't that she didn't trust the two of them, but the fewer people who knew about this, the safer it would be.

"Okay, then I'll pay 10 yuan!"

"I'll also put up 10 yuan!"

Before Hu Lili could finish speaking, Jiang Nian'an chimed in. She had just tasted a piece, and it did indeed taste very good; at least, they couldn't make something like this where they were from.

The three women chatted for a long time in her courtyard before going back to rest. Long Lifan then remembered that she hadn't started what she promised Director Xu. There were only two days left until the deadline, so she decided to work overtime tonight to finish the design drawings.

So she contacted the system and copied down the manufacturing and design drawings of the detachment machine onto paper.

The working principle of a thresher is that the rotating threshing device collides with the grain, causing the grain to separate from the ear, and then the grain and impurities are separated by a screen.

Therefore, the overall structure design of the thresher needs to be carried out based on its intended use, threshing efficiency, safety requirements, and other factors. This includes the design of the threshing device, screening device, transmission device, and other components.

Long Lifan carefully drew out the design drawings. In order to make it understandable for Director Xu and the others, Long Lifan also sketched out the internal structure of the detachment machine from multiple angles.

She believed that as long as Xu Tiansheng and his team processed and manufactured each component according to the design drawings, assembled the components into a complete machine, and conducted debugging, they would definitely be able to produce a threshing machine that met the design requirements and usage standards.

In addition, Long Lifan wrote down all the difficulties and solutions that might be encountered during the production of the exfoliating machine on a piece of paper. Having gone to such lengths herself, if Xu Tiansheng and his team still couldn't build it, she could only say that she couldn't help them.

"Drip! Drip!"

That day, while Long Lifan was feeding the chickens at the chicken farm, a car horn sounded from the village. It was probably Director Xu and his team arriving; it seemed no one else knew the road had been successfully repaired.

Indeed, after more than ten days of hard work by the commune members, a road was finally built from the commune to their village. Although it was still a dirt road, it was much wider and smoother than before.

"Long Zhiqing"

Just as he was about to tell Lin Yue, the captain walked over with Xu Tiansheng. When Xu Tiansheng saw Long Lifan from afar, he greeted her with a smile.

"I don't know when we talked about this..." Xu Tiansheng approached Long Lifan and asked expectantly.

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

"Great, that's wonderful!" Xu Tiansheng laughed heartily. "Long Zhiqing, you are truly a great benefactor to our machinery factory!"

"Director Xu, don't be too happy. I've managed to get the blueprints and some related materials, but whether we can actually produce them depends on your abilities."

"Don't worry, Long Zhiqing, I have confidence in the current machinery factory." Xu Tiansheng patted his chest and assured him. In the past few days, after listening to Long Zhiqing's words, he had been recruiting people everywhere and even used his old comrades-in-arms' connections.

"To be honest, after I went back this time, I specifically asked an old friend to help me bring over a few professional talents,"

Xu Tiansheng said with a smile. Now he understood what Long Zhiqing had said before: that they couldn't place all their hopes on others. If they continued to place their hopes on Long Zhiqing, how would they be any different from before?

"Really?" Long Lifan was also shocked, not expecting Xu Tiansheng to be so decisive. But that's good too; with professionals handling it, she believed it would definitely be much more efficient.

"These are the chicks I bought last time, they've grown so big!" Xu Tiansheng was in a great mood, and when his eyes inadvertently glanced at the chickens running around in the fence, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

If he remembers correctly, these chickens were bought less than two months ago, and they're growing way too fast.

“This is all thanks to Long Zhiqing.” Lin Guodong chimed in from the side, “Long Zhiqing manages the chicken farm. To be honest, I think they’ve grown incredibly fast.”

During this period, Lin Guodong and his friends would spend some time outside the chicken farm every day. Watching the chickens change every day filled them with excitement and anticipation.

"Moreover, not a single one has died since we bought them!"

"What…"

Xu Tiansheng exclaimed in surprise, his gaze towards Long Lifan changing. After a moment, realizing his lapse in composure, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I never imagined you, Long Zhiqing, were such a multi-talented individual!"

“Long Zhiqing, why don’t you come and work at our machinery factory?”

"Director Xu, this isn't appropriate! Long Zhiqing is from our Dongwan Brigade." Lin Guodong, who was standing to the side, became anxious upon hearing this.

However, Xu Tiansheng completely ignored Lin Guodong and didn't take his words to heart. If the first time he only offered Long Zhiqing a job at the machinery factory out of politeness, this time he genuinely wanted to invite Long Zhiqing.

“Although you are a sent-down youth, you don’t need to worry about your household registration. I’ll take care of it!” Xu Tiansheng stared at Long Lifan and assured her, trying to dispel any concerns she might have.

"Ahem," Long Lifan coughed and said with a smile, "Why is Director Xu bringing this up again? Didn't you come here to pick up something?"

Xu Tiansheng exhaled a breath of stale air. He knew that Long Zhiqing's words were a rejection of him. Oh well, this only meant that Long Zhiqing was not destined to be with them in the mechanical field.

Xu Tiansheng followed Long Lifan back to the courtyard, and Lin Guodong immediately followed as well. He was increasingly displeased with Factory Director Xu; why was he always trying to steal people from them?

They finally got a talented person in their Dongwan Brigade, how could they let Director Xu poach him? He'd made up his mind now, he would definitely follow Director Xu every time he came.

"Here, these are the blueprints and some information related to the detachment machine." Back in the courtyard, Long Lifan handed the prepared items to Xu Tiansheng.

"Great, that's wonderful! With these things, our machinery department will definitely be able to successfully manufacture the threshing machine!" Xu Tiansheng wasn't a mechanical engineering graduate, but he had been a factory manager for many years, so he could get a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Long Zhiqing's blueprints not only depicted the internal structure from multiple perspectives, but also clearly described some of the problems encountered during the production process and their solutions.

Long Zhiqing is so capable yet so low-key. Thinking back to the few talents we just recruited, they all acted arrogantly in the factory, trying to act like big shots to everyone they met.

It's true what they say: comparisons are odious.

Forget it, I'll put up with it for the sake of the machine factory. We'll see if we can find better talent later. If Long Zhiqing agrees to work at their machine factory, he will definitely kick those other people out without hesitation.

such a pity!
