Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Technology Changes Life

The three meat grinders agreed upon have been completed, the other two are ready for her to pick up.

Lin Chuxia went straight to Xu Changping’s office, and Xu Changping was also waiting for her.

Upon her arrival, he pointed to the two machines on the ground for her to inspect.

"During the production process, some details were improved. Can you tell the difference from the previous one? These two have greater horsepower and almost don’t require cutting for whole pieces of meat."

Lin Chuxia squatted down to take a look, indeed they were impressive.

Turning her head, she asked him, "How many models has the machinery factory produced?"

Xu Changping laughed softly, a glint of admiration and somewhat helplessness in his eyes, "This is what it’s like talking to a smart person, can’t even take a little advantage."

He personally poured a cup of water for Lin Chuxia, "So far, we have produced three models. The one previously given to you was the most basic, these two are upgraded and enhanced versions, and there is another model in between, able to meet different needs."

Lin Chuxia took the water and smiled, "Director Xu, if you were in the market, you would definitely make a mark."

"There’s no way out, market economy, everyone has to cater to the market, including our state-owned enterprises. I’ve seen a lot on business trips and learned a lot, especially those people in the south, really clever. I guess this is also applying what I’ve learned."

If this were in the past, such machines would only have one model, for the convenience of the workers.

As for the needs of the users, that was secondary.

The principle back then was to use whatever was available, now it’s about producing whatever others are using, which really fits the saying, serving the people.

Xu Changping glanced at Lin Chuxia again, acknowledging that this girl really had a smart mind with unique perspectives.

"The blueprint you provided to the machinery factory was exchanged for only three meat grinders, making us the ones who benefited. Should you need anything in the future, just speak up. As long as it’s possible on our side, we will definitely do our best."

Xu Changping seriously made a promise.

It’s not that he actually felt he owed Lin Chuxia anything, exchanging a blueprint for three meat grinders was a mutually agreed deal, but now giving a small favor could win him a person.

A small bun shop owner like Xu Changping surely wouldn’t care much, but Lin Chuxia as a person was someone he couldn’t ignore.

Lin Chuxia was naturally willing to accept this favor and quickly expressed her gratitude.

When she pulled the two meat grinders back to the bun shop, not only Sun Bingnan, but also Su Wensong and Pang Yongli all had smiles on their faces.

The previous meat grinder was already being used at the bun shop, and the meat needed for stuffing sausages in the small courtyard was also prepared here and then taken there.

Their workload was greatly reduced, and they had much more time.

"It’s got to be electric," Su Wensong remarked.

"Of course, technology changes life!" said Lin Chuxia.

The method for making braised chicken wasn’t much different from cooked meats, and Su Wensong was quick to grasp it, guiding through it a couple of times until he could handle it alone.

The first pot of braised chicken came out, and Lin Chuxia took one intending to deliver it to Old Sir He.

She rarely stayed to work at the bun shop these days and hadn’t seen her master for several days.

"I’m not sure whether this old physician knows," he said, seeing that she clearly understood quite well.

Knowing he couldn’t get anything more from her, Old Sir He didn’t probe further.

Ultimately, the kid meant well for the two elders, he’d let her speak when she was ready.

If she genuinely didn’t want to talk about it, there was no point in him pressing further.

Pointing to a box at the end of the bed, he said, "Go open that box, and bring the smaller box inside here."

"There’s treasure, Master?" Lin Chuxia changed to a playful and smiling face, climbing up to open the box.

She took the small box inside, as Old Sir He instructed.

Old Sir He personally opened the box, "Since you like to delve into these things, take this book back and read it. I know that even though you’ve taken me as your master, this is not your passion. But, girl no matter when, having a skill is always an extra protection for yourself. I do not ask you to spend too much effort or to master it extensively, just learn the basics; they could save your life in a crucial time, and you won’t be fooled by vitamin pills anymore."

Lin Chuxia saw the medical book Old Sir He pulled out and felt somewhat moved, upon hearing his latter words, she was speechless. Would vitamin pills now become her dark history?

"Master, I will definitely read it well."

The medical book was a bit old, its pages in vertical layout with traditional characters. Having survived such times and still being preserved so well indicated how important this book was to Old Sir He.

"I will transcribe it and then return it to you. Rest assured, I won’t damage it."

Lin Chuxia held the medical book in both hands, her expression solemn.

Old Sir He waved his hand, "No need, I’m giving it to you. I should leave something for you since you call me Master. Take also the scrap paper in this box, looking at it hurts my eyes."
