Chapter 60: A Beggar-Like Boss
It's no wonder that Niu Dazhuang looks down on Niu Xiaoqiang, it's really that Niu Xiaoqiang's image of a fool over the years has been too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if it has changed, it will not be completely reversed in a while. It's not just Niu Dazhuang, it is estimated that no one in this world except Fang Dongping believes how much technology Niu Xiaoqiang has learned.
"Dad, I've learned to do some manual work over the years, but my theoretical knowledge is a little worse, even if I can't help much, it's still okay to give Grandpa Fang a hand. ”
"Well, then you go and try it, if it doesn't work, get back early, don't make trouble for your master. ”
"I know!"
After getting his father's permission, Niu Xiaoqiang was so happy that he almost didn't jump.
At four o'clock in the morning the next day, Niu Xiaoqiang got up early as always. He woke up Niu Xiaodong and the three of them, and the four friends rode the ox towards the farm.
On the way, Niu Xiaoqiang said that he was going to follow Fang Dongping out to earn extra money, and told the three friends to take time to go around the farm at noon and evening. Now that chickens, ducks, pigs and geese have been raised in the farm, it is not practical to come over often to see Niu Xiaoqiang.
"Brother Qiang, you can put a hundred hearts, we will definitely take care of the farm. ”
"That's good. ”
At seven o'clock in the morning, Niu Xiaoqiang returned home early, and after eating the noodles cooked for him by his eldest sister, he rushed to the town with a smoke.
Niu Chunxiang kept sending him to the entrance of the village, Niu Xiaoqiang ran away, and she reminded loudly in the back: "Little brother, I heard that working in a machinery factory will be dangerous, you must be careful." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang waved his hand without looking back: "I know sister, I will pay attention, you don't have to worry." ”
Niu Chunxiang kept staring at Niu Xiaoqiang's thin back, and when she couldn't see it anymore, she sighed: "If the eldest brother is half sensible, our family will not be forced to do this, alas......"
Niu Xiaoqiang was afraid that he would delay the time to set off, so he ran all the way into the courtyard gate of Fang Dongping's house. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw a middle-aged man with messy hair like a chicken nest sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.
The man turned his head to look after hearing the movement, and Niu Xiaoqiang found that there was eye feces hanging from the corners of his eyes, and coupled with his dirty clothes, he was no different from a beggar.
Niu Xiaoqiang quickly denied the speculation that this person was a beggar, because he found that this person's clothes were all stained with engine oil, and the nails of his hands were also black grease. If nothing else, he is a man who has a lot of contact with mechanical equipment. Thinking of Fang Dongping's going out to earn extra money today, this person's identity was immediately revealed.
Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly showed a smile and greeted this person very politely: "Hello uncle, you are here to find my master, right?
Hearing this, this person's originally somewhat puzzled expression immediately bloomed, he stood up with a smile, and nodded again and again in response: "It turns out that you are Fang Gong's apprentice, hello hello, my name is Jiang Ronghua, I am the person in charge of Ronghua Machinery Factory, I came here today to find your master to help, but I didn't expect to find that your master was not there after I came, so I had to wait here first, little brother, I don't know what you call it?"
As the saying goes, if you don't look at the face of the monk, you can see the face of the Buddha, although Niu Xiaoqiang is young and looks very immature, but he is Fang Dongping's apprentice after all, Jiang Ronghua has a request for Fang Dongping, so naturally he will not put up a fight in front of other people's apprentices.
Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but sigh secretly: Looking at his image, I thought he was a worker sent by the factory to pick up my master, if he hadn't introduced himself, who would have thought that he was actually the boss of the machinery factory.
"Uncle Jiang, my surname is Niu, my name is Niu Xiaoqiang, don't mess with the seniority, just call me Xiaoniu. ”
Jiang Ronghua's eyebrows revealed a hint of anxiety, he nodded with a smile, and asked, "Comrade Xiaoniu, do you know where your master has gone?"
Niu Xiaoqiang naturally knew: "If nothing else, my master will definitely go to the morning market to drink morning wine, he is a person who likes to drink very much, and he doesn't pull down three meals a day, why don't you rest here for a while, and I will go and get him back?"
Jiang Ronghua hurriedly waved his hand: "I'll go with you, and help Fang Gong pay for the wine by the way." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang knew that Jiang Ronghua was very good at things when he heard it, and he was a delicate character. Since people are bent on currying favor with their master, there is no need for them to refuse. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go together." ”
The two walked out of the courtyard gate, twisted around the alley, and found Fang Dongping without much effort. Fang Dongping was really drinking morning wine, and the appetizer was a big bowl of Yangchun noodles. While drinking, he still has teeth bared, and he looks like he is enjoying it.
When Jiang Ronghua saw Fang Dongping, he immediately sped up his pace and trotted over, and before he could run to him, he greeted with a smile: "Fang Gong is really interested, he is so comfortable early in the morning." ”
Fang Dongping turned his head to look at it, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be Boss Jiang, do you want to sit down and have a drink?"
Jiang Ronghua shook his head with a smile: "It's still not necessary, I don't have the habit of drinking morning wine." When he said this, he instructed the boss who was below: "Boss, get a stir-fried pork liver for this table, how can a bowl of noodles be enough for wine?"
Fang Dongping waved his hand, and looked at the watch he was wearing on his wrist: "Don't mind, I'm almost done drinking, no need to add food, Boss Jiang, you are really anxious, didn't we say that we would meet at eight o'clock, it's just after half past seven, why did you arrive?"
Jiang Ronghua sighed bitterly, "Aren't I in a hurry, I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I rushed over on a bicycle early in the morning, if the problem in the factory is not solved in time, it is estimated that it will be closed!"
Fang Dongping took a sip of noodle soup and said curiously: "Is it so serious?" I remember that the efficiency of your factory has always been quite good, and you also added a machine tool last month, and it has only been a month, why has it become so difficult?"
"It's all to blame my greed, two months ago I went to Jiangcheng to deliver, and a few old acquaintances got together, during the banquet I heard them say that Jiangbei Machinery Factory is in urgent need of a batch of industrial bearings, is looking for people everywhere to take orders, I think this is a good opportunity to make a lot of money, after drinking wine went directly to Jiangbei Machinery Factory, patting his chest to ensure that they can process the industrial bearings they need, and then it is a gift and a meal, finally won a share of 30 percent, at that time I was happy. ”
Jiang Ronghua said that his expression became more and more bitter: "But when I put into production this batch of industrial bearings, I found that this work is not as easy to do as I imagined, the defective product rate is too high, and the task has not been completed until now, seeing that the delivery will be made at the end of the month, I am really forced to have no choice, so I can only come to you for help, Fang Gong, please must pull me, otherwise I will really go bankrupt!"
