Chapter 779 Young People's Ambition 4

Under Liu Guangqi's patient and meticulous guidance, Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng, two young people who were originally unfamiliar with making kitchenware, seemed to be injected with endless motivation and inspiration, and the progress of making kitchenware is gradually accelerating at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their hands seemed to be endowed with magical powers, and every movement became more skillful and smooth, no longer as awkward and stiff as at the beginning. From the initial cautiousness and repeated attempts to the current smooth and seamless, every time they raised their hands, put their hands down, twisted and pressed, they were all precise and correct, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.

Under their operation, each process was completed more accurately and almost perfectly. Whether it was the precision when cutting metal, the smoothness when grinding parts, or the fit when assembling parts, there was no flaw. The three of them worked in perfect harmony, just like a precision-operated machine, with each link closely connected and interlocking. Liu Guangqi was like the "brain" of the machine, responsible for overall planning and guidance; Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng were like the "hands", accurately executing every instruction. They advanced the production of kitchenware in an orderly manner, and each step went smoothly according to the predetermined plan, without any confusion or mistakes.

As time passed quietly, like the sand in an hourglass slipping away bit by bit, the sun gradually rose, hanging high in the sky, releasing a fiery and strong light. The light sprinkled on the earth without reservation, as if to ignite the whole world. The ground was baked hot, and walking on it, it seemed as if you could feel the scorching heat coming from the soles of your feet. The air was filled with a hot breath, making people breathless.

However, in this scorching hot environment, Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng completely ignored the beads of sweat that kept rolling down their foreheads. The beads of sweat kept sliding down their cheeks like beads that had broken off a string, dripping onto the ground, and instantly evaporated by the scorching ground. They also ignored the clothes that were soaked in sweat and stuck to their bodies. The wet clothes tightly wrapped around their bodies made them feel very uncomfortable, but they didn't care at all. They had only one goal in mind, which was to complete the production of kitchen utensils, so they were still fully focused on the production, with determination and persistence in their eyes.

At this moment, Liu Guangfu completed an important task in his hands - sawing the last metal strip. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if all the fatigue and stress during this period were exhaled with this breath. He slowly put the saw aside, his movements were gentle and careful, as if the saw was a precious treasure. Then, he rubbed his sore arm, which had become numb and sore due to long-term force sawing metal. He moved his arm slightly, feeling the soreness gradually dissipate.

Then, he looked up at the neatly stacked metal bars in front of him, his eyes full of a sense of accomplishment. Thanks to his efforts, the metal bars were sawed into uniform lengths and arranged in an orderly manner, as if they were a work of art. The more he looked at them, the more satisfied he felt, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raise a smile of relief. He could not wait to turn around and shout to Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng: "I have sawed all the metal bars here, what should I do next?" The voice was full of excitement and anticipation, as if waiting for new challenges and tasks.

Yan Jiecheng is now concentrating on cutting the metal plate in his hands. The sharp scissors shuttle flexibly in his hands, and the metal plate is gradually cut into the required shape with the sound of "clicking". After a period of hard work, he has successfully completed most of the cutting of the metal plate. He slowly straightened up. The long-term bending posture made his body a little stiff. He raised his head slightly and gently moved his stiff neck. As his neck turned, a "crackling" sound was made, as if it was a signal that the body was stretching its muscles. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his face was filled with a confident smile. He said easily: "I'm almost done here. After I cut the last few pieces, we can start assembling the parts." The tone was full of joy of completing the stage task and expectation for subsequent work.

Liu Guangqi has been paying attention to the progress of the two people's work. After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, he smiled and nodded gently. That smile is like the sunshine in spring, warm and gentle, giving people encouragement and affirmation. His eyes swept over the two people like a searchlight, carefully observing their work results and status, and then said earnestly: "You have done a good job, and the hard work during this period has paid off. Next, let's classify and organize these parts. This step cannot be sloppy. Only when they are organized in an orderly manner can it be convenient for assembly later and improve work efficiency. In addition, when assembling, you must pay attention to the connection and fixation of each component. This is like building a house. Every brick must be laid tightly to ensure the solidity of the house. This is the key to determining the quality of kitchenware, and no negligence is allowed." His words are like an experienced mentor, patiently imparting important knowledge and skills.

The three of them were all action-oriented. After hearing Liu Guangqi's arrangement, they acted quickly. They had a clear division of labor and cooperated well, just like a well-trained team. Liu Guangfu was responsible for classifying the sawn metal strips according to length and thickness. He carefully picked up the metal strips one by one, compared them carefully, and gently placed them in the corresponding positions, for fear of messing up the order. Yan Jiecheng focused on the cut metal plates. He stacked them neatly according to their shapes and uses, and each stack was placed upright. Liu Guangqi supervised and guided them from the side, reminding them to pay attention to details from time to time to ensure the accuracy of the classification.

Soon, all the parts were neatly arranged according to different specifications and uses, like rows of soldiers waiting for inspection. Then, they began to assemble the first part - a rack for placing pots. This rack is an important part of the kitchenware, and its stability and practicality directly affect the use effect of the entire kitchenware. Liu Guangqi once again emphasized the precautions during assembly, and then the three began to assemble in an orderly manner. They first fixed the base and tightened the screws one by one with a screwdriver to ensure that the base was firm and immovable. Then, they carefully installed the support frame on the base, adjusting the angle and position to make it fit perfectly with the base. Every time they installed a part, they would carefully check whether it was installed firmly and whether there was any looseness. With their joint efforts, the first part gradually took shape, and a sturdy and durable pot rack was slowly appearing before their eyes.

Liu Guangfu's eyes were focused and firm. He leaned down slightly and picked up two long metal bars with both hands. These two metal bars are important supports for the entire rack. Their quality and installation accuracy are directly related to the subsequent stability of the rack. He gently weighed the metal bars, felt their solid texture, and silently planned the installation position and angle in his mind. At the same time, Yan Jiecheng had already prepared to cooperate. He stood steadily at the predetermined installation location with his legs slightly apart, in a lunge, staring at the metal bars in Liu Guangfu's hand, ready to take over and help fix them at any time.

Liu Guangfu walked slowly towards Yan Jiecheng, taking every step carefully, fearing that the metal bar in his hand would shake a little. When he reached the right position, he whispered, "Come on, take it." Yan Jiecheng quickly stretched out his hands, took the metal bar steadily, and then pressed the metal bar vertically to the ground in the pre-designed direction. At this time, Liu Guangqi was like a rigorous commander, his eyes wide open, carefully observing the installation of the metal bar. Sometimes he bent down slightly, approached the metal bar, and checked its verticality with the ground; sometimes he stepped back a few steps to observe whether the spacing between the two metal bars was appropriate from the overall perspective. Once he found a slight deviation, he would immediately stretch out his hands and gently adjust the position of the metal bar, and he kept muttering in his mouth: "A little to the left, a little up, good, that's it." After several subtle adjustments, the two metal bars finally stood vertically on the ground with just the right spacing. Liu Guangqi nodded with satisfaction and said loudly, "Okay, fix it like this, don't move."

After hearing the instructions, Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng immediately increased their strength. They pressed the metal bar tightly, as if they wanted to put all their strength into the metal bar to ensure that it would not move at all during the welding process. Liu Guangqi quickly turned around and picked up the welding tool from the tool box. The welding tool was like a handy weapon in his hands. He skillfully turned on the switch, adjusted the welding parameters, and then slowly moved the welding head close to the bottom of the metal bar and the fixed point on the ground.

"Zizizi..." When the welding tool comes into contact with the metal, a harsh sound is emitted, which seems to be the metal groaning in pain, and also like the horn of the welding work going on enthusiastically. At the same time, a series of bright sparks splash like gorgeous fireworks, flashing dazzling light under the sunshine. Liu Guangqi is concentrating on the operation, his eyes fixed on the welding point, as if the whole world has only this one focus. His hands control the welding tool steadily, like a skilled artist carefully carving his work. He slowly moves the welding tool along the contact surface between the bottom of the metal strip and the fixed point, ensuring that every part can be welded firmly and evenly. Time seems to freeze at this moment, and only the "zizizi" sound and the flying sparks witness the progress of the welding work. After a while, the two brackets stand firmly on the ground, like two solid fortresses, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent installation work.

Next, they began to install the crossbeams of the rack, which was a key step in making the rack truly take shape. Liu Guangfu once again showed his attentiveness and responsibility. He carefully selected a shorter metal bar from a pile of metal bars, and the length and thickness of this metal bar had to perfectly match the two brackets. He gently wiped off the dust and impurities on the metal bar, then handed it to Yan Jiecheng with both hands and said, "This crossbeam must be placed accurately, it is the key to connecting the two brackets." Yan Jiecheng carefully took the metal bar, his hands trembling slightly, and his heart was both nervous and excited. He slowly placed the metal bar horizontally between the two brackets, his eyes fixed on the contact point between the metal bar and the bracket, and constantly adjusted the position to ensure that the crossbeam and the bracket were completely vertical and tightly fitted. After adjusting the position, he took a deep breath and signaled to Liu Guangqi that it was time to weld.

Liu Guangqi picked up the welding tool again. There was no sign of slackness on his face, and he remained highly focused. He skillfully moved the welding head close to the connection between the beam and the bracket. With the sound of "sizzling", a bright weld gradually appeared in front of his eyes. He slowly moved the welding tool along the connection, and every movement was precise and smooth. As the welds were completed one by one, the prototype of the rack gradually emerged. The originally scattered metal strips are now tightly connected together to form a stable structure. Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng looked at the gradually taking shape of the rack, and smiled with satisfaction on their faces. They knew that their efforts were gradually turning into practical results.

During the assembly process, they also encountered some minor problems. For example, one of the metal strips was a little short and not tightly connected to the bracket. Liu Guangqi frowned and thought for a while, then said: "We can polish the ends of this metal strip a little so that it can fit better into the bracket slot, and then use welding to reinforce it, and there should be no problem."

Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng nodded in agreement. They followed Liu Guangqi's method to process the metal strips, and after reinstalling them, they were indeed connected very tightly, and the problem was solved.

After a whole day of hard work, the sun gradually set, and the golden afterglow sprinkled on the earth, covering the whole world with a warm veil. The three of them finally completed most of the assembly of the kitchen utensils. A brand new pot rack, a rudimentary iron pot and several uniquely shaped kitchen utensils were placed in front of them. Although these kitchen utensils looked a little rough, they could already be seen to be practical and unique.

The three of them sat around these kitchen utensils, looking at the fruits of their labor with gratified smiles on their faces. Their faces were covered with traces of dust and sweat, and their hands were rough from long hours of work, but their eyes were full of pride and satisfaction.

"Our efforts this day have not been in vain. These kitchen utensils look pretty good." Liu Guangfu said excitedly.

Yan Jiecheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, although we encountered some difficulties in the process, we overcame them one by one. Once these kitchen utensils are polished and perfected, they will definitely come in handy."

Liu Guangqi stood up, patted the two on the shoulders, and said with emotion: "This is only the first step of our dream. There are more challenges waiting for us. But I believe that as long as the three of us work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome. Let's make persistent efforts tomorrow and complete the production of these kitchen utensils."

The three of them smiled at each other, their smiles full of expectations and confidence for the future. They knew that the road ahead might still be full of hardships, but as long as they worked together, they would be able to realize their dreams and make these handmade kitchen utensils bring convenience and beauty to people's lives.
