Chapter 1564 Blender

As night fell, the busy construction site gradually became quiet.

People put their tools away and then walked back together with their sleeves tucked in.

People from afar greeted and set off on their way home, holding a pancake as big as a face plate in their arms, which Yang Xiaotao had fought for.

Starting from today, people working on the construction site will receive a two-piece pancake in the afternoon in addition to a lunch every day.

Whether to eat or not depends entirely on personal wishes.

Almost 99% of people chose to put the pancake in their cotton-padded clothes and wait to go home to give their families a surprise.

Yang Xiaotao and Yang Dazhuang walked around the construction site, went to the greenhouse to see the night watchman, and told him to eat something at night and keep warm, and then went back to the village to eat something.

Back to the school residence, Wang Hao and others were already lying on the bed tired and didn't want to move.

Although there are more and more people helping, some work still needs reliable and knowledgeable people to do it.

The most important job is to mix the soil.

"Get up, soak your feet before going to sleep."

Yang Xiaotao saw that several people were lying on the bed and didn't want to move, so he immediately went up to wake them up one by one, and then took the iron kettle from the stove to pour water for them.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao and his friends soaked their feet in the basin, and at the same time, they ate the melon seeds that Yang Xiaotao took out to recover some energy.

"Captain Yang, do we count as meritorious this time?"

The young man on the side asked with his eyes wide open, and the people around him also became energetic when they heard this, and the fatigue on their bodies was like a broom sweeping, and it was reduced by half.

"It counts, it must count!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and threw the melon seed shells accurately next to the stove, "When the time comes, not only will there be rewards from the courtyard, but there will also be rewards from above!"

"Especially you, what kind of soil grows what kind of vegetables, you have made great contributions."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's praise, everyone laughed immediately, and there was more expectation in their expressions.

Wang Hao, who was standing by, rubbed his wrist, looking a little shy. He looked at Yang Xiaotao and hesitated to speak, but finally nodded, "Captain Yang, is there a machine that can mix it evenly by itself?"

Everyone didn't expect Wang Hao to make a request at this time, and they were all a little surprised.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Wang Hao hurriedly explained, "Well, although we have only made seven or eight greenhouses, the collective ratio has been figured out, and we just need to mix them together according to the ratio later."

"I, we are not afraid of being tired, but we are mainly afraid that the progress will not keep up. Now it is less than one-tenth, and there are still so many to come, and the time is so tight."

Wang Hao hurriedly explained, and everyone was thoughtful.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the young man with the same name and surname as the machinery factory, but his personality was completely different.

Wang Hao from the machinery factory was more excited, while the young man in front of him was more practical.

However, the two also have something in common, that is, they are serious and responsible in their work.

And they are very obedient, or they can be said to have strong execution.

Perhaps, they are also the most scarce people in this era.

Hearing Wang Hao say this, Yang Xiaotao immediately understood what he meant.

Mixer!

Yang Xiaotao's mind flashed with the cement mixer that often ran on the street in his previous life.

No, maybe it doesn't have to be so troublesome. If it's just mixing, only a few parts are needed. When the time comes, make a few more, and then have people operate it manually.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao opened his mind, and the mixing machine in his mind quickly took shape.

"This is a very good idea."

"You go to bed first, I'll go to the next door to do it."

He took out the basin with his feet, shook it in the air, and then rubbed it on his trouser legs, then put on socks and shoes and walked out.

"You go to bed first, don't wait for me."

After saying that, he had already put on his coat and went out.

"I, am I causing trouble for Captain Yang again?"

A group of people looked at Yang Xiaotao's vigorous and resolute appearance, and they were silent.

Even Wang Hao's inquiry, no one answered.

"Captain Yang, you are really worried."

Someone sighed, and everyone nodded in unison.

"So, we have to work hard, not only for the mission, but also for Captain Yang."

"Yes, work hard!"

Yang Xiaotao ran to the office next door, pushed the door open, took down the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall, opened the glass cover, lit it with a match, and stretched the wick a little longer to make the light brighter.

He found a desk and sat down casually.

He took out a pen and paper from the space and started to design according to his thoughts.

This thing is much simpler than a machine tool. It is just a few gears driving the conversion of force. It does not require much difficulty. Besides, it is not convenient for farmers to use it if it is too difficult.

At present, practicality is still the main thing.

Yang Xiaotao was drawing and modifying at the same time.

It was a little cold in the room. Xiaowei got to Yang Xiaotao's neck, and a little green light appeared on her little hand.

Yang Xiaotao felt a little itchy on his neck, and then he moved it, and then heard a whooshing sound.

"Save some energy, this is a big job next, you can't get too tired!"

Yang Xiaotao put down his pen. Xiaowei heard it and flew into the air, like a firefly.

This cold season is not very friendly to her. Everything is lonely and the plants are withered, so she can only absorb energy by herself, which is too inefficient.

But if you want to complete the task, you must let Xiaowei take action.

But Yang Xiaotao doesn't want to tire her. After all, controlling plants also requires energy. Even if it's not much, the task is large.

This is different from corn.

The growth period of corn is just when everything is reviving and thriving. Xiaowei can replenish energy while working, and even provide what she needs for her own growth.

But now, in the winter, it is not easy to complete the energy conversion even in the greenhouse.

Whoosh

Xiaowei stopped in the air. She especially liked this kind of environment where she was alone with her owner. There was no need to be afraid of being seen. She could do whatever she wanted.

Unfortunately, the master always likes to sleep with others.

Xiao Wei's stubborn insistence came to his mind, and Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, "I know, my comrade Yang Xiaowei is the best."

Swoosh

Yang Xiaotao's praise made Xiao Wei happily draw circles in the air, and then fell on Yang Xiaotao's right hand, lying on the tiger's mouth, absorbing the light from the kerosene lamp while sliding along with Yang Xiaotao's pen tip.

Half an hour later, Xiao Wei suddenly flew up, and then saw Yang Xiaotao holding a few drawings with a smile on his face.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully designing the mechanical drawings, please name it."

The long-lost voice of the system finally sounded, which also meant that the design was successful.

Speaking of which, I have been too busy during this period, and the credits are still stuck at 12,000 without much growth.

Yang Xiaotao is not in a hurry to make a choice. After all, the skills can be used now, or it has not been fully utilized.

So the credits are not taken seriously.

However, hearing the system prompt again at this moment made the sleepy Yang Xiaotao immediately perk up.

"Small mixer."

Yang Xiaotao had not forgotten the business, and casually said a name, and the system's voice sounded in his mind again.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully designing a small mixer. System evaluation, good-down."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting 300 credits."

"Three hundred? This seems to have refreshed the lower limit of the reward."

Yang Xiaotao focused on the credit reward. If it were in the past, it would have been at least 500 credits.

"Is it too easy?"

Touching the stubble on his chin, Yang Xiaotao could only think of this answer.

"Three hundred is not a small amount. Compared with reading a book, this efficiency is fast."

Looking at the credits on the attribute panel, there are already 13,000. Thinking in his heart, he will upgrade the sub-skills after this busy period.

Anyway, steelmaking proficiency and mechanical proficiency are both useful for the current mechanical industry.

Neither is a loss.

After putting away the drawings, Yang Xiaotao stood up, first dimmed the brightness of the kerosene lamp, then lifted the glass cover and blew it out, hung it on the wall, and then walked towards his residence.

Yang Xiaotao was out for less than an hour, but the house was already full of snoring.

Seeing everyone lying on the bed and snoring, Yang Xiaotao also felt sleepy.

Qinjiazhuang, the brigade headquarters.

Just when the village was silent in the night, the lights here were still on.

The cold wind rushed in from the window from time to time, making sounds, as if participating in the discussion, expressing their dissatisfaction.

The people in the house didn't care about the wind. They all looked serious, and from time to time they said a few words and had disputes with the people around them.

The people here are all managers in the village.

Just looking at the situation in front of them, there are obvious differences, and two factions have gradually formed!

"Uncle Lao Gan, what else is there to say? Look at the surrounding villages. Which one is not following Yangjiazhuang? Not to mention eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, but they can also have enough food."

"Those who left today all had such a big cake in their arms!"

The young man on the side suddenly spoke up and gestured with his hands, leaving the people who were still arguing around speechless.

Everyone looked at the gestured hands. No matter how good the words were or how noble the spirit was, everyone envied the things that filled their stomachs.

"That's not all. They all had big bone soup and some pork for lunch. If it was in our village, would we usually have it?"

"Even during the Chinese New Year, there might not be such a meal."

The young man said bluntly, and the few young people around him said the same thing.

They are the younger generation in the village. They are of similar age and don't have as many grievances as the older generation. They think directly.

Besides, even if there are some grievances, it doesn't need the whole village to suffer.

As the young man spoke, the people around him responded immediately, "Yes, many people from the Qujia Zaohu next door went there, and there were also people from the farther crossroads, and everyone was watching the people who brought them back."

"Our village is so close, why can't it be done?"

"Yes, village chief, my family doesn't have much to eat this winter, and my brothers and sisters are waiting for pancakes."

Everyone was talking in a mess, and finally their eyes were fixed on the village chief who was smoking in the front.

"Eat, eat, eat, eat those, do you have face?"

"Do you have the face to eat?"

Uncle Lao Gan saw that the situation was not right, and looked at the old brothers around him, then slapped the table and said loudly, "Didn't you see that they didn't pay any attention to us at all?"

"If they had that intention, they should have called us when they started the farm, but they would rather find the Baima Village on the other side of the mountain than pay attention to us. Don't they just look down on us?"

"People fight for a breath, Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, our Qinjiazhuang is no worse than them, why should we add to their cold butts?"

Uncle Lao Gan said angrily, and the old brothers around him nodded silently.

In the past, the people in Yangjiazhuang were not as good as their Qinjiazhuang.

It was in the past two years that the village had a talented person and started to improve. In theory, they were closer to the town and surrounded by fertile land, so they were always better than the other party.

Now they were just nouveau riche, why should they be humble?

And their thinking represented the thinking of the older generation in the village.

If you don't fight for your dignity, you want to bow your head and admit defeat, you are dreaming.

It can only be said that pride is not noble or humble.

It's a pity that their pride has now become a stubborn mountain, blocking the good life that the younger generation yearns for.

After Lao Ganshu finished speaking, everyone looked at the village chief again.

But the village chief was still smoking, saying nothing, and there was no tendency on his face.
