Siheyuan: I just want to wait until the end of the play

A new day has arrived as scheduled.

Li Qiao got up early and went directly to Pigeon Market after breakfast.

He took out 200 kilograms of cabbage and 300 kilograms of potatoes in a secluded alley.

Then I rented a truck from a nearby vendor and took all my stuff to Pigeon Market.

He still wrapped his head with a scarf, not showing his true face.

As soon as his cabbage and potatoes arrived at the market, they immediately attracted a large group of uncles and aunties rushing to the morning market.

"Tsk, tsk, this cabbage is so juicy!"

When an aunt saw the cabbage, she immediately praised it.

"How do you grow such good cabbage?"

An uncle picked up a piece of cabbage and asked curiously, his eyes full of disbelief.

These cabbages are like works of art, crystal clear and green.

"It doesn't matter how it was grown. It's such a good cabbage. Give me five cabbages first!"

"I'll take three!"

"Give me two!"

"I want eight!"

"Ten!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen hands rushed to reach for the cabbage.

Li Qiao is too busy.

Fortunately, the car rental vendor was a veteran and came to help immediately when he saw the situation.

Li Qiao's cabbage is much more expensive than ordinary cabbage.

In this era, ordinary cabbage only sells for one cent and two pounds.

Li Qiao's cabbage sells for five cents per catty.

It is equivalent to the price of four kilograms of ordinary cabbage.

The price will naturally deter some people, but many people will rush to buy it.

“This dish is great!”

At the end of the sale, an old man with gray hair appeared, picked up a cabbage, examined it carefully, and murmured something.

"This is the last cabbage today. If you want to buy it, hurry up."

Li Qiao said with a smile.

The old man nodded and rubbed it in his arms for a while. Li Qiao thought he was paying for it. Unexpectedly, the old man took out a small instrument and made several beeps on the cabbage.

"Perfect!"

The old man praised the cabbage as if he were admiring a beautiful woman.

This was the first time that Li Qiao heard someone praise a cabbage as "perfect".

Perfect cabbage?

What should that look like?

"How many of these cabbages do you have?"

the old man asked.

Li Qiao didn't know the other party's details, so he didn't dare to reveal too much information, so he casually said: "Anyway, there is no more information today."

"That means there will be more tomorrow?" the old man asked immediately.

Li Qiao: "..."

Who knows if there will be one tomorrow!

If I plant it, there will be it; if I don’t plant it, there will be nothing!

Seeing that Li Qiao didn't speak, the old man stopped asking questions and directly took out a dollar from his body and gave it to Li Qiao.

Li Qiao was about to look for money when the old man stopped him and said, "No need to look for money."

Li Qiao was puzzled. A piece of cabbage was not worth one yuan, not even fifty cents.

"Just make a friend." The old man took out a card from his arms, "This is my business card. If you have vegetables of this quality, just ask me and I'll cover it all."

Li Qiao took the business card and didn't have time to take a closer look. People behind him were rushing to buy potatoes.

The old man also bought a few kilograms of potatoes and then disappeared into the crowd.

In less than half an hour, Li Qiao's cabbage and potatoes were all sold out.

"Five hundred kilograms, sold out in half an hour, tsk tsk, boss, your business is great!"

The car rental vendors were envious.

He witnessed the madness of customers with his own eyes.

Even ordinary things like cabbage and potatoes are being rushed to buy, which is really eye-opening.

Li Qiao counted the money and found that there were more than twenty-two yuan in total.

He took out fifty cents and handed it to the car rental vendor: "Thank you for your hard work, uncle!"

The vendor was so excited that his hands were shaking. He rented the car for more than half an hour and gave him fifty cents. This was too generous.

"Boss, you sit down and I'll give it to you, otherwise I won't feel comfortable collecting the money!"

The vendor patted the cart clean and asked Li Qiao to get on it.

Li Qiao originally didn't want to sit down, but the vendor was too enthusiastic.

Finally, the vendor pushed Li Qiao to the gate of the steel rolling mill with a trolley.

Li Qiao first went to the infirmary to see Niu Xiaowei.

Then go back to the workshop and prepare for the technician competition.

…

Five workshops.

The technician competition officially begins.

The workshop director first introduced several judges.

Li Qiao was surprised to find that the first uncle Yi Zhonghai was the chief referee.

"Master Yi is one of the few eighth-level fitters in our factory. I think everyone will have no objections to him taking on the role of chief referee this time, right?"

Director Ma asked with a smile.

"No comment."

The players answered in unison.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward, looked at the contestants, and then saw Li Qiao.

His eyes lingered on Li Qiao for a moment, then looked elsewhere.

Director Ma said: "Master Yi, do you have anything else to add?"

Yi Zhonghai: “Let’s get started!”

"Okay, the game begins!"

Following Director Ma's order, dozens of contestants walked to their respective operating stations.

The basic skills of a benchwork include scribing, sawing, drilling, reaming, countersinking, etc.

As a first-level fitter, Li Qiao mainly does scribing and sawing.

Don't underestimate these two skills, they actually contain quite a lot of skills.

Without accumulated operations and precipitation over time, it would be impossible to do these two tasks well.

When Niu Dageng first taught Li Qiao, he paid special attention to the training of these two skills.

"Well, not bad, it looks like he has been tempered."

Yi Zhonghai appeared next to Li Qiao at some point, observing Li Qiao's operations.

Li Qiao kept his master's teachings in mind, focused on nothing, and did his own thing seriously.

Yi Zhonghai looked at it for a while and seemed quite satisfied.

However, Director Ma called Yi Zhonghai aside and muttered a few words.

Yi Zhonghai's expression changed obviously. When he looked at Li Qiao again, his eyes were a little cautious.

"There's still half an hour until the end of the game, everyone, hurry up!"

Director Ma reminded loudly.

At this point, the players’ operational level is clearly visible.

Some players obviously don't know anything and are just pretending.

Some players only know a little bit about it and get stuck in the middle of the operation.

There are also some players who are confident and every step of the operation is in compliance with the standards, which can be said to be fast and good.

Li Qiao belongs to the third type of player.

I saw on his operating table that about 90% of the work was completed, only the last few steps were left.

His speed can be said to be quite fast.

Several experts that Director Ma transferred from the field workshop were also far behind him.

It seems that Li Qiao is about to finish his homework for this competition.

Director Ma's face showed a trace of anxiety.

at this time.

A voice sounded behind Li Qiao.

"I want to report that someone is cheating!"

Hearing this voice, everyone looked over in surprise.

There was only one last step left in Li Qiao's homework. However, he had to stop because the player behind him poked his finger on his back and said loudly: "Li Qiao cheated!"

Director Ma ran over and asked the player: "Did you see him cheating?"

"Yes."

The player replied affirmatively.

Li Qiao turned around and glanced at the player.

He immediately remembered that this was one of the masters invited by Director Ma.

"Li Qiao, this player said you cheated, stand up and let us search you!"

Director Ma said with a straight face.

"The trouble started again!"

Li Qiao glanced at Director Ma and secretly complained in his heart.
