Chapter 263: Can it be mass produced?
When they got home, the eldest sister went to light the stove and cook, the youngest sister went outside to call the chickens back to the coop, and Qiu Huoming led Ding Yu to the small room to tinker with the radio.
"Fatty, this radio is for you. I'll add some materials later. Our two homes are not far apart in a straight line. Let's try it out and see if you can hear my voice with the radio..."
"Fuck, that's awesome, hurry up and make it, I'll give it a try."
Qiu Huoming took out the assembled parts.
These were all made by him in the school laboratory. They are simple versions and need to be used with a radio.
At present, there are no tall buildings near the east gate of the county town, and the signal from the antenna is almost unobstructed. Qiu Huoming kept connecting the battery to the simple device and turning on the radio at the same time.
He pressed the switch next to him, tapped the microphone, and adjusted the receiving channel.
"You knock." Qiu Huoming handed the thing in his hand to Ding Yu.
After a while, there was a noise coming from the radio, followed by a clear knocking sound.
"Hey, I heard it!" Ding Yu was overjoyed.
“Hahahaha,” Chen Suniang laughed happily, “Xiaoyu, if you like it, come and eat every day. Godmother will be happy too…”
Zhang Yougen's expression softened. "Don't send me off. I won't be home tomorrow. I'll be back the day after tomorrow. Let's have dinner together when I come back. Fang Jun can come too..."
Turn on the faucet and wash the suet meat you brought back in the sink.
"Okay, Fatty, when you get home tonight, try it out in your upstairs room. Remember to open the window, and extend the antenna for me..."
The two of them stayed in two different rooms and tried it. They were close to each other and had no problem talking on the phone.
"The noise is too loud. Wait a minute. I brought a metal case. I'll put it in..."
As she spoke, she walked into the living room and put down her handbag.
Chen Suniang's voice came from the door, "You guys didn't go out?"
He insisted on being called godmother. Anyway, Qiu Huoming recognized Ding's mother as his godmother, so it was okay for him to call Chen Suniang that.
She washed the suet, set up a chopping board next to the sink, and cut the suet into small pieces.
The sound of water splashing was heard. Ding Yu poked his head out of the small room and called out obediently, "Hello, godmother..."
Zhang Yougen put one hand in his pocket and leaned against the door frame, "Why didn't you come to see me when you came back?"
Ding Yu carefully put them into the cloth bag.
Qiu Huoming walked out of the hut and just heard this. He felt ashamed. If Ding's mother heard this, he would probably be beaten again when he returned home.
The noise became noticeably weaker.
Zhang Yougen leaned over and looked into the yard. "Aunt Chen, I'll just say a few words and then I'll leave."
"They are the same as always, busy all day long."
"Okay, mission accomplished."
Qiu Huoming glanced at his little sister. He thought that maybe his little sister would be a business genius...
Qiu Huoming lowered his head and carefully stuffed the accessories inside.
Chen Suniang then responded: "Okay, then you guys chat..."
Next, we followed the same method and developed another set of equipment. These were semi-finished products and were not difficult to make.
The older sister and the younger sister gathered around the two machines, asking questions curiously.
There was a sudden knock on the courtyard door behind him, and Zhang Yougen's voice rang out: "Is Huo Ming home?"
Chen Suniang liked this godson who came up to her reluctantly, and even her smile softened. "Xiao Yu, are your parents okay? Tomorrow is Laba Festival. I'll make some Laba porridge and ask Huozi to send some to you..."
The eldest sister then remembered that dinner was still being cooked in the kitchen, and rushed back like a gust of wind.
Qiu Huoming didn't have much other stuff except this radio. The pocket radio was given to him by someone else. The other radios were assembled by him at school. This time he brought back a radio that he assembled himself, which he could use to practice...
The younger sister followed Chen Suniang into the house, tiptoed, and turned on the TV. At this time, there was a cartoon playing...
The eldest sister in the kitchen was relieved to see that the dinner was safe and sound. She stuck her head out and shouted, "He went out and came back again."
"I just arrived today. I was planning to send you some eight-treasure porridge for the Little New Year tomorrow, and then go see you again."
Qiu Huoming raised the corner of his mouth, walked over quickly, opened the gate, and called out, "Brother Yougen!"
The younger sister stared at the TV intently and replied, "Yes."
Qiu Huoming patiently answered a few questions and then said, "When Fatty comes back tonight, you guys can come and listen to it. This thing is a radio..."
He quickly put away one of the equipment.
Chen Suniang then took down the sleeves and apron hanging on the wall, and as she walked out, she put on the sleeves on her cuffs and put on the apron with swift hands and feet.
"Okay, I like to eat this." Ding Yu admired Chen Suniang's cooking skills very much. There is no harm without comparison. His own mother's cooking skills are so unbearable that he can't bear to look at them.
Chen Suniang then noticed that he was also here, "Oh, Xiaoyu is here too. I'll make some oil residue later and give you a bowl of it with some sugar..."
The younger sister thought for a moment, "Does that mean the phone calls are free?"
"Godmother, don't spoil them. Don't cook for them. I'll come over for dinner tomorrow..."
Chen Suniang glanced at her and asked, "Have the chickens returned to the coop?"
"There is a root, Huo Ming, please ask him to come in and sit for a while..." Chen Suniang turned her head and ordered while standing by the sink.
Zhang Yougen turned his gaze to Qiu Huoming.
"Let me treat you this time." Qiu Huoming scratched the back of his head, "You guys always treated us before."
"Go, go, go, we are working adults, and we let you, a student, treat us to a meal. It will sound good when others say it."
He reached out and patted Qiu Huoming on the shoulder, "It's a deal then. I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow night."
After saying that, he leaned over and looked towards the yard, "Aunt Chen, I'm leaving."
Chen Suniang replied, "Yeah, okay."
Zhang Yougen then turned around and walked out in the night. Qiu Huoming closed the gate after seeing him go far away.
Ding Yu asked: "He is Zhang Yougen from your compound."
Qiu Huoming nodded, "You know him too?"
Ding Yu shook his head and said, "I heard about it from my brother."
They all do business on Nanmen Street, so it is normal for them to know each other.
Chen Suniang had already entered the kitchen. The eldest and youngest sisters were watching cartoons in the living room. Ding Yu pulled Qiu Huoming over, and several people gathered around the TV to watch.
After a while, an enticing aroma came from the kitchen.
Chen Suniang took out an enamel basin, fished out the fried oil residue, and set it aside to drain...
The courtyard door was pushed open and Qiu Jianshe walked in.
"I can smell the fragrance from far away." He first looked towards the kitchen.
"Wash your hands. Dinner will be served soon."
"okay."
He pushed open the door, and the four children in the living room looked up at him.
Ding Yu greeted him obediently, "Hello, godfather."
"Hey, Xiaoyu is here too. Dinner will be served soon."
Qiu Jianshe greeted him and walked into the inner room with his bag.
Chen Suniang shouted from outside: "Xiaoyu, the oil residue is ready..."
Ding Yu's fat face instantly broke into a smile, "Here it comes."
He walked out in a hurry, and soon brought in a plate. The steaming hot oil residue was sprinkled with sugar, which looked particularly tempting.
Several people in the living room swallowed their saliva together.
"Come, let's eat together." Ding Yu didn't care about the heat, he reached out, pinched a piece and put it into his mouth.
The others followed suit and started taking action.
There was a lot of noise in the room. Chen Suniang heard it in the kitchen. The corner of her mouth curled up. Qiu Jianshe put down his handbag, pushed the door and walked out.
Chen Suniang smiled at him and said, "It's great that the house is lively again."
Qiu Jianshe curled his lips and responded, "Yeah."
Chen Suniang picked up the oil pan and just put it down, she suddenly remembered something and shouted into the house: "Huo Ming, have you put away your clothes?"
Qiu Huoming stood up quickly and said, "I'll go collect it right away..."
Ding Yu put down the basin and said, "Let's go together."
After collecting the clothes, Qiu Huoming also brought back the rope and bamboo pole.
There were no new dishes added in the evening. They were all the ones made at noon, put back into the pot, heated up, and served on the table.
Everyone crowded together and started eating happily.
Halfway through the meal, Qiu Huoming asked, "How is Grandma Zhu? Sister Xiumin asked me to bring her 5 yuan. I'm going to find a chance to secretly give it to her..."
Chen Suniang smiled and said, "Xiu Min is a filial child. The old lady treats her well. She is in good health and often goes out to bask in the sun. I will make Laba porridge tomorrow. You can give a bowl to the old lady and bring the money with you."
Qiu Huoming responded and then asked, "That family is not making trouble again, right?"
The younger sister muttered, "Xiumin's brother, the one called Bao, was beaten up last month..."
Chen Suniang frowned, "Hongshuang, why are you so concerned about these things?"
The younger sister looked nonchalant, "I saw it when I got home from school. You were crying so ugly."
"Puchi..." Ding Yu almost burst out laughing.
Du Xiumin and Ding Yu were elementary school classmates. Although they didn't have much interaction, they knew each other after all. He knew a little about her affairs.
"Evil will be punished." Ding Yu smiled happily while chewing chicken feet.
Chen Suniang rubbed her brows and said helplessly: "The street office arranged jobs for their family. They are much more peaceful now. Old Mrs. Zhu separated from them. Her son would usually send her some food..."
Qiu Jianshe picked at the food in the bowl, took a few bites, and said with a smile: "After all, we are a family. It is normal to have conflicts. We are not enemies."
Chen Suniang put down her chopsticks and asked, "Huo Ming, how is Xiumin doing now?"
"Sister Xiumin is amazing. She went to Shenzhen alone and found a job as a financial officer in a factory. She is also self-studying university courses..."
"My goodness, it's not easy for a girl to achieve this." Chen Suniang sighed, "If it were my daughter, I'd be so upset that my heart would jump to my throat..."
The younger sister and the older sister looked at each other, and the younger sister started to giggle.
Qiu Huoming was worried that she would say something lewd again, so he quickly changed the subject, "Mom, are you guys having a holiday for Laba Festival?"
"No holiday, but you can go home an hour earlier in the afternoon."
"Mom, I don't use my bike recently, so you should just ride it to and from get off work."
"Okay, I'll ride my bike tomorrow and come back earlier."
Qiu Jianshe touched his unshaved beard and said with a smile: "I will go to work with you in the morning. I will ride my bike to take you..."
Chen Suniang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Let me take you. You ride too slowly and I have a long way to go..."
Qiu Jianshe: …
Ding Yu kicked Qiu Huoming under the table and lip-synced, "Show your affection..."
Qiu Huoming chuckled and said, "Eat quickly."
After the meal, the eldest and youngest sisters took the initiative to clean up the table. Qiu Huoming had nothing to do, so he simply sent Ding Yu out.
Ah Huang at the gate of the compound had already recognized Qiu Huoming. When he saw him approaching, he followed him, wagging his tail.
Ding Yu laughed and said, "How come this guy has grown so fat? Be careful, it's winter now..."
When the weather is cold, some people like to eat dog meat hotpot. In Wucheng County, people often go out at night to steal dogs.
Qiu Huoming squatted down, reached out and patted Ah Huang on the head, "Bark as loudly as you can when you see a stranger."
Ah Huang tilted his head, stuck out his tongue for a while, and quickly licked Qiu Huoming's palm.
Ding Yu bent over and said, "Does it understand?"
Qiu Huoming clapped his hands and stood up. "What do you know? You can tell at a glance that you have never been beaten by society."
"I'll take you here. Remember to adjust the equipment when you get home. I'll connect with you in 20 minutes. If there's no sound, forget it. We'll talk about it when we meet tomorrow."
Ding Yu responded and ran away.
When he got home, his parents were there, so he casually asked, "Where's my brother?"
"In the room." Mother Ding shouted, "Don't leave yet, is Huo Ming back?"
Ding Yu stopped and said, "I'm back."
"Let him come to our house for dinner tomorrow, and invite Hongye and Hongshuang as well."
Ding Yu chuckled, "I'm going to their house for dinner tomorrow. We need to arrange a dinner, so we have to wait a few days."
Father Ding coughed and said, "Let's find some time and go out to eat together."
Mother Ding turned to look at Father Ding, "Old Ding, what do you mean..."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ding Yu fled from the living room and went upstairs quickly.
He pushed open Ding Hao's door and said, "Brother, I have something good to give you a heads up."
Ding Hao was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, resting, and a sweet girl's song was playing on the tape recorder.
He reached out to turn off the recorder, touched the glasses on the bedside, put them on his nose, and then sat up. "What?"
Ding Yu opened the cloth bag, took out the items inside, walked quickly to the window, stretched the wire, and then glanced at the alarm clock in the room, "There are still a few minutes left, I will show you a miracle..."
Ding Hao got off the bed and walked over in his old cotton shoes. He reached out and took the iron box in his hand, looking it over and over. "Where did these accessories come from? We don't have this stuff in our county."
"I know what it is. Huozi brought it back from Yangcheng."
Ding Hao thought for a moment and asked, "He studied radio. Ask him if he wants to come to our store to help. I'll pay him..."
Ding Yu was overjoyed, "Okay, I'll ask him."
Ding Hao then put down the iron box in his hand, staggered back to the bed, and lay down on his back.
As the Spring Festival is approaching, business has been good recently. Other aspects are fine, except that it is tiring for the eyes.
He has learned a lot of skills from the hired repairman and is now obsessed with it. He is not a professional and can repair many electrical appliances, but he does not know the principles. He asked the repairman, but he did not understand either. Qiu Huoming is a serious college student, so he can ask him later.
Nowadays, domestic electrical appliances have circuit diagrams in the instruction manuals. If you can read the diagram, you can repair it, and it is not difficult.
"Time's up!" Ding Yu leaned against the window, excitedly turned on the power, and extended the wires outside the house.
He pressed the switch and shouted into the microphone: "Huozi Huozi, I'm Fatty!"
Not long after he let go of his hand, he heard a noise coming from the radio. He reached out and turned the frequency, and after fine-tuning it, he heard Qiu Huoming's voice.
"Fatty Fatty, I heard the reply..."
The sound was not clear, accompanied by the crackling sound of electric current.
Ding Hao jumped up, raised his glasses with his hand, and stared at the crude gadget.
Ding Yu shouted into the microphone with a look of surprise: "I heard it, I heard it, wait a minute, I'll change the angle."
After trying several directions, Ding Yu simply returned to his room. His room was closer to Qiu Huoming's house and there were fewer obstructions in front.
Ding Hao immediately followed.
"Huozi, Huozi, listen to it, is it clearer?"
"Fuck, it's super clear. Okay, let's remember this angle..."
Ding Hao came over and asked, "Xiao Yu, where is the place to talk?"
Ding Yu pointed at the crude microphone and said, "Here, press this switch and point it here and speak."
He pressed the switch and said, "Brother, just speak directly."
Ding Hao came closer and asked, "Huozi, can you mass produce this thing?"
"Brother Hao?"
"it's me."
"In principle, it is possible if all accessories are complete." Qiu Huoming replied after thinking about it.
