Chapter 1271: I Recognized an Uncle

"write a letter?"

Yang Xiaotao listened and then nodded.

"Are you trying to arouse his competitive spirit?"

"Yes, the desire to win or lose is used to enhance emotions, and then emotions are used to obtain models!"

After the old man finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao fell silent.

Seeing this, the old man said nothing and let Yang Xiaotao think carefully.

"Uncle, I don't know what your plans are, but starting from the desire to win or lose, I think it's not advisable?"

The old man was not angry because of Yang Xiaotao's denial. On the contrary, the reason for the denial was what he wanted to hear most.

"tell me the story!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then took out a pack of melon seeds from a drawer on the side and gave more than half of it to the old man, "Uncle, don't mind the leftovers from the New Year."

The old man smiled and grabbed a handful, then banged it, "Tell me about it!"

"Um!"

"I think it's inappropriate for two reasons!"

Yang Xiaotao pointed to the photo on the table, "First, if you want to gain respect, you must win!"

"But the fact that the other party can change Liema like this shows that he has understood the structure of motorcycles. This kind of transformation is obviously the pursuit of extreme speed. If we want to win, we must have better technology than him or a better car. ”

“But it’s very difficult for us to achieve these two points!”

The old man frowned, "Engine, I remember there is already a gasoline engine in Shanghai!"

Yang Xiaotao chuckled after hearing this and said, "Uncle, the tricycle you mentioned is just for laymen to see."

"Their engine is, to put it bluntly, a high imitation, and its performance can only be said to be average. If you take this kind of engine out and use it on a tractor, let alone a motorcycle, it will be too slow!"

Although Yang Xiaotao's words were true, in the old man's ears, they sounded like a young man's arrogance.

However, it is normal for young people to be competitive.

After a pause, Yang Xiaotao spoke again, "This second one, if we use this reason to contact him, it would be too deliberate!"

"The purpose is too strong, and the other party may not be able to see it, but they are not the only ones staring at us now. If it attracts the attention of some people..."

The old man's expression was stagnant. He had indeed neglected this aspect.

Maybe once or twice is okay, but if it's too many, it might attract some people's attention.

You know, because of the emergence of mushroom eggs and the success of the air explosion experiment, how many pairs of eyes are staring at it.

What Yang Xiaotao said is really possible.

After a moment of silence, the old man asked curiously, "Then what do you think should be done to arouse the other party's interest?"

"Uncle, this desire to win is undesirable, but this novel thing is the best introduction!"

"Last time the other party liked motorcycles, it was because they had never seen one like this before. Rather than saying how good the motorcycle is, it's more about how fresh the motorcycle is."

"So, we have to work hard on this novelty and freshness!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he already had an idea in his mind, and then pretended to rummage through the drawer and took out a design drawing.

"Uncle, look, this is a heavy-duty truck being manufactured by Quancheng Automobile Factory. It not only looks novel and stylish, but also uses a new engine from our machinery factory. It has strong power. If this is taken out, the success rate should be higher than that of motorcycles. Some."

The old man took the drawing and looked at it. The outline on it was indeed different from the domestic trucks.

Then Yang Xiaotao took out another piece of information and said, "If this doesn't work, take a look at this."

The old man put down the information and picked it up again, "Is this? An armored vehicle?"

"Yes, this is an armored vehicle that was commissioned by the First Machinery Department to be designed and produced by our machinery factory. We have already finished most of it, and it will be almost ready in a few days."

"This kind of car uses our new diesel engine, 800 horsepower, eight-wheel drive, and has an armor design."

"This speed, this power, this look, you will definitely like it if you see it."

"If this novel thing is made, it will definitely attract attention!"

"Is this an armored vehicle?"

"It's okay. When the time comes, I'll change the inside and make a simplified version. The outside will look almost the same."

"Aren't you afraid of leaking secrets?"

"Don't be afraid, they can't learn good things. Besides, we are not fools."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, full of confidence.

The old man nodded, then put the two documents together and looked at them carefully.

Just looking at the drawings, you can’t tell the pros and cons at all.

"Do you think it's okay?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "At least it's better than a motorcycle."

The old man was silent, and finally stood up and walked in the study, thinking.

Yang Xiaotao felt anxious when he saw this, but this kind of thing was not something he could decide at all.

"Uncle, please sit here while I make some food."

The old man nodded silently after hearing this, and sat aside, looking at the drawings in trance.

Yang Xiaotao carefully closed the door, and then watched Lou Xiao'e run in with a basin containing a cube of tofu.

On the other side, Ran Qiuye also put away the vegetables in the yard, and Ran's mother was making noodles in the kitchen.

"Xiao Tao, where is the chief?"

Director Yu stepped forward and asked, and Director Zhang beside him also moved forward.

Yang Xiaotao glanced inside and whispered, "The chief is thinking about something inside, so don't disturb him."

Director Yu looked at the study, then nodded, and whispered, "Xiao Tao, we have agreed, two, one for Lao Zhang, and you can divide the rest among yourself, what do you think?"

Yang Xiaotao heard that it was still a puppy, but didn't take it to heart. The uncle already had a puppy, so what did it mean to have a few puppies?

"Okay, he's still young now. Wait two days before you can hold me again."

"Okay, it's settled."

Director Yu smiled and said, "By the way, it's best to have a male and a female."

"Here, I have to see how many males are inside."

"You don't need to look, Lao Zhang and I just went to hug three males and four females."

"If Lao Zhang doesn't choose, just give him a mother."

Director Zhang opened his mouth to refute, but thought it would be nice to give him one, so he didn't say much.

"Okay. You guys watch first and I'll go make some food."

"Go ahead and do more."

Director Yu thought of something and greeted him specially, but Yang Xiaotao didn't pay attention.

When he came to the kitchen, Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment and started to put away the food.

"Xiao'e, help me cut this tofu into small pieces."

"Daughter-in-law, have you packed up the fish?"

"Mom, make some noodles and make pot stickers."

Yang Xiaotao rolled up his sleeves and started working, while in the study, the old man lit cigarettes and smoked them one by one, with the light in his eyes flashing.

After a long time, when the knock on the door rang again, the old man looked up and saw Yang Xiaotao.

"Uncle, let's eat first."

"Eat? So soon?"

"Yeah, it's getting dark."

"It's dark?"

The old man raised his head and looked out the window.

"Time flies so fast."

"Let's eat first."

With that said, the two came to the table.

There were more people this time. Yang Xiaotao went to the courtyard and asked Wang Dashan's family to find some tables to put together and reluctantly arranged for people to sit there.

The old man sat on it, Yang Xiaotao and Director Yu sat on both sides, followed by Ran Mu, Ran Qiuye, Xiao Bo, and the two guards who came with the old man.

As for the children, they were all held by Ran Qiuye and the others.

Originally, Yang Xiaotao wanted to separate the two tables, but as soon as he said this, he was unanimously opposed by Ran's mother and Lou Xiao'e.

In the end, you can only do what is good.

A few people sat down, and the old man looked at the table full of dishes and narrowed his eyes.

There are fish, meat, vegetables and tofu.

The fish is fragrant and the meat is juicy. The dishes are scrambled eggs with tomatoes and cucumbers, and the tofu is red.

There are noodles and pot stickers on the side.

This table of food costs a lot of money.

None of the people in front of Zhuo moved their chopsticks, they all looked at the old man.

Yang Xiaotao saw the old man's expression, then took the bottle from Ran Qiuye and said with a smile, "Uncle, don't look at the rich food on this table. But in fact, it only cost one yuan for meat, and two yuan for meat." Drink money.”

"There are so many of us, so it only costs 30 cents per person. It's cheaper than working in a factory canteen."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Yes."

"These meals are all grown in the yard. We went fishing in the West Sea and bought a piece of meat and tofu."

Yang Xiaotao gave his wife a thumbs up under the table.

However, Director Yu and Director Zhang did not pay attention to this, but focused on Yang Xiaotao's initial title.

Uncle?

What's the meaning?

Is Yang Xiaotao becoming a relative?

Before a few people could recover, the old man picked up his chopsticks and said, "You are making enough food and clothing by yourself."

"This tofu, is it Mapo tofu?"

"Yes, uncle, this seasoning is specially made by me. Can you try it?"

"Okay, okay, I've been away from Sichuan for a long time, this smells like this."

The old man said, picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks, put it gently in his mouth, and then nodded vigorously, "I want this taste, I want it."

Then he looked at the people around him and said, "Don't look at me, move your chopsticks, move your chopsticks."

"Xiao Tao's craftsmanship will be known once you have tasted it."

After listening to this, Director Yu and others felt convinced of their relationship.

At the same time, I sighed in my heart, Yang Xiaotao's backing is getting thicker and thicker.

But Ran's mother and Ran Qiuye looked at each other, what does this have to do with each other?

Did you recognize an uncle?

This, this is too, too incredible.

However, it's definitely a good thing.

Even Lou Xiao'e was biting her lip. This 'uncle' had nothing to do with her.

Looking at Yang Xiaotao, I felt a slight sense of loss in my heart.

But he was soon attracted by the conversations of the people at the table.

Several people moved their chopsticks quickly and started commenting.

"You put meat in the fish and pot stickers?"

"This is my first time seeing this."

The old man looked at the yellowed pot stickers and said curiously.

"Uncle, the pot is not suitable. If there is a suitable pot, I will serve it to you directly and heat it while eating."

"Really, you have to try it."

As he spoke, he first picked up a piece of pot sticker and put it in a bowl, then took a sip and said, "Well, it has a rich aroma."

"It's delicious. Everyone should try it."

Director Yu smiled and said, "Xiao Tao has so many novel things. This time he got the benefit of the leader."

"Yeah, I got the benefit of the doubt this time."

Director Zhang also smiled.

When the old man heard this, his heart moved, and then he nodded.

After finishing the meal and changing into tea, the old man held the Dragon Boat Festival, with Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye sitting next to him.

First, Ran Qiuye told what the eldest sister had told him. The old man nodded after hearing this, "This is a good thing that has contributed to the contemporary era. It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. If the country wants to develop and the revolution needs to be built, talents are indispensable."

"You must do your best and do what the eldest sister tells you well."

Ran Qiuye nodded, "Okay, uncle."

"Yes, Xiaotao."

"Uncle, tell me."

The old man was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "I have decided, and I will do as you say."

"Uncle, have you really decided?"

"Well, you are young people, and your ideas may be more relevant, so let's do it according to your words."

"We will urge Quancheng, and the armored vehicle part will be handed over to you."

Yang Xiaotao stood up immediately, "Uncle, don't worry, I dare not say anything else, but this armored vehicle will definitely be done."

The old man nodded, "In fact, I also want to see what this armored vehicle that you praised to the sky is like."

"That's easy, when it's done, you can go to the site to see it."

"Well, okay."

"It's almost done, I have to go back too."

After saying that, the old man picked up Duanwu and handed it to Ran Qiuye, tidied his clothes and prepared to leave.

"This matter is handed over to you."

"Uncle, don't worry, when it's done, I will write a letter myself to stimulate him."

When the old man was about to get in the car, Ran's mother came out quickly with a basket and handed it to the car, "These are all vegetables grown in the yard, you take it."

The old man did not refuse, then waved his hand, and the car left.

"Xiao Tao, what on earth did you do?"

Director Yu stood aside, looking at him kindly.

"Nothing, normal."

Director Yu smacked his lips, then looked back at the courtyard, "By the way, do you have any empty houses in the middle courtyard?"

"House? Yes, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, just asking."
