Chapter 382 Those Hard-working People
"That's not it,

I am an experienced farmer, but within the first month after arriving at the dam, my hands were covered with blisters and it was excruciatingly painful.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the seven sisters on our construction site.

They were the only seven female comrades among the first batch of workers.

Those girls are really hard-working and are known as the Iron Ladies. They are better than many of us male comrades, and the key is that they are young. The youngest is 17 and the oldest is only 19.

I heard recently that there is a group called Jiulan, which is also very powerful.
No worse than the Iron Ladies.

It's called something, something, ah yes, it's "Women are as good as men", I learned it in the literacy class, but I almost forgot it when I said it. "

He Yuzhu and the others laughed when they heard a young man from the countryside say "women are as good as men".
"Comrade, you are doing very well in the literacy class.

It's good enough for others to be able to read, but I didn't expect you to know that women are as good as men.

But I think this phrase is not appropriate. It is better to say that women hold up half the sky, don’t you think? ”

Hearing He Yuzhu mention the famous saying of the great leader,

Regardless of whether they had just thought of it or not, the comrades all nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, yes, women hold up half the sky. The leader said it well. The Seven Sisters and the Nine Orchids are the best examples."

"Of course, who says women are inferior to men? Women are also very powerful."

……

As they were talking, Fang Yunquan asked,

"Oh, comrade.
Where are the Seven Sisters and Nine Orchids you mentioned? They are so powerful, and we also want to see their style. "

Hearing that the new comrades wanted to see some celebrities on the dam, the young man pointed in the direction of the dam.

Then he said proudly,
"They have been tamping the earth on the dam all this time. You will definitely see them at lunch later.

Let's get started now, so as not to delay the progress of the project."

"Yes, yes, yes. The flood season is only two months away. We have to work overtime and hurry up."

As the baskets were filled, soon the transport team came over to carry the baskets to the dam, leaving two new empty baskets behind.

After a busy morning,

Soon it was time for lunch, and people on the construction site started to gather and go to the canteen.

He Yuzhu and his friends were queuing up for food. Soon they heard a commotion coming from the door. Then they saw the young man from the morning introducing himself to his comrades.
"The girls coming over here are the seven sisters.
The leader was the eldest Liu Shumin, and the others were Li Lianfang, Wang Sumin, Yan Shuqing, Li Guozhen, Zhang Shuqing and Zhang Shuhua.

They are all from Shadong Commune in Changping.

Behind them is the Jiulan Group.
The one in the front is Yan Xiulan, and the ones behind are Zhang Shulan, Sun Shulan, Diao Zhenlan, Liu Jilan, Jin Shulan, Ji Shulan, Hao Yulan, and Wang Guilan.

Hearing that their names all contain the word "Lan", it felt a bit deliberate. Several comrades asked this question.

Then the young man nodded and said,
“It’s exactly as you said.
Unlike the seven sisters who were the first seven lesbians,
These nine girls were from Cuicun Commune next to Shadong Commune. It seemed that the director of their commune heard that the Seven Sisters group in the neighboring commune was very famous, so he specially found nine female comrades with the word "Lan" in their names and made up this title, hoping to compete with the neighboring commune. These girls had just arrived at the construction site not long ago, and they became famous for their courage and fighting spirit.

She is a well-known hard worker on the construction site."

When the young man was saying this, He Yuzhu looked in the direction of his finger and discovered that the so-called Jiulan Group were the girls he had seen in Cuicun Commune some time ago.

But those girls have met too many people on the construction site recently.
Obviously he had forgotten He Yuzhu whom he had met earlier.

He Yuzhu was so hungry at this time that he was in no mood to talk to them.
After all, eating is the most important thing in the world.

Besides, there are so many people working hard on the construction site, and they are just representatives among them.

Just as He Yuzhu was standing in the crowd and following the flow of people forward, Ma Yongqiu came over.
"Zhu Zi, why are you here? Come with me quickly."

Seeing Ma Yongqiu coming to see him at this time, He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked,

"What's the matter, Ma Dui? We haven't eaten yet."

"Comrades in Changping also know that the deputy captain of our militia is the public manager of Fengze Garden and a first-class chef, so they want you to help train the chefs in the cafeteria.
It also allows comrades working on the construction site to eat better.

I told you not to wait in line here, come with me to our side, we can discuss something together. "

After hearing about this, He Yuzhu looked at the many people queuing up for meals and really found a reason to refuse.

"I dare not say anything else. It's just a big pot of food. It's a small matter."

"It would be best if you could agree to it."

In the next period of time, whenever He Yuzhu came to the dam with the militia to help, he would definitely come to the canteen to instruct the chefs on how to make big pot dishes.
The chefs’ skills have also improved a lot in a short period of time.

The comrades were very satisfied with the meal.

That morning, He Yuzhu was teaching the chefs how to cook. Not long after, he heard a kitchen helper complaining that there was not enough coal and that he had to ask the leaders of the headquarters to send some over.

Thinking that honeycomb briquettes had not yet been produced, He Yuzhu had an idea.
However, due to time constraints, He Yuzhu just glanced at him and then continued to teach the chefs how to make big pot dishes.

When he returned to the courtyard at night and washed up, he began to think about honeycomb coal.
Lou Xiao'e saw He Yuzhu first measure the size of the stove with a ruler, then start to calculate with a pen and paper.
I asked out of curiosity,

"Zhu Zi, why are you still not sleeping so late? What are you doing?"

When He Yuzhu heard Lou Xiao'e's question, he told her what happened in the cafeteria today, and then handed the paper to her.

"This thing I drew is a tool for making a kind of coal called honeycomb briquettes. I will give it to an old man tomorrow morning and ask him to go to the factory to make it for me.
When it's done, I plan to try it with our own coal.
Let’s see if I’m right.”

After taking the thing He Yuzhu handed over and taking a look at it, Lou Xiao'e knew what it was after his explanation, but she didn't know if it was useful.
"Zhu Zi, can you add yellow mud to the coal? Otherwise it won't burn, it's such a waste."

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, He Yuzhu did not refute. After all, this was a new thing for her.
"It's okay, just treat it as if I were doing it for fun."
