If he couldn't learn the full skill, learning a little bit would be fine too.

"At your place. I'll go to your place once I get the ingredients."

"That's great. I can also take advantage and eat something good."

Li Li Xuewu finished the last bite of the steamed bun and tidied up, preparing to leave.

"That depends on how well you teach."

"Easy, easy."

Seeing Li Li Xuewu had finished eating, Sha Zhu agreed and stood up to leave, forgetting even the purpose of his initial visit.

Li Li Xuewu had practiced the skill of idle chatter; he could confuse you about things he didn't want to talk about.

After finishing his lunch, Li Li Xuewu went to the guard team's dormitory to take a nap. If one could take a nap at noon in winter, it was really refreshing.

So-called working is us exchanging our souls for money, and then using money to redeem our souls.

So-called life is nothing more than exchanging health for money in the first half, and money for health in the second half.

Li Li Xuewu wanted to live a happy life and contribute to the Rolling Mill healthily, so he had to take a nap.

Recently, Li Li Xuewu didn't plan to start any new business. The stall was already set up, and just the scrap recycling station was enough to keep him busy. More businesses derived from the scrap recycling station could be explored slowly.

After waking up, he took the Guard Team Deputy Captain Han Zhan and Security Squad Leader Xu Ning to check the duty situation at various key posts. Since the meeting ended in the morning, the duty situation had remained good, and there was no more smoking in the guard posts.

Near the end of the shift, all guard team members and security squad members began preparing for the off-duty inspection task.

From the first person on, workers kept complaining that the inspection was too detailed and delayed their off-duty time, but Li Li Xuewu stood in the guard post watching, so the team members didn't dare to slack off. You complain yours, I check mine.

Ten seconds per person. Because small parts weren't worth stealing, and large ones were usually tied to limbs, a rough touch was enough to know.

This kind of complaining finally stopped when a suspected smuggling situation was discovered at Channel 3.

After receiving the report from the guard team member, a search team composed of one Public Security Squad member and one Security Squad member from the mobile post received the suspected person, trying their best not to delay subsequent inspections and releases.

Today, Han Han Yating was on duty personally. After bringing the person near the guard post, she directly had the security personnel search him.

This suspected person was a middle-aged male worker in his thirties or forties, and he was very agitated when he heard he was going to be searched.

"What right do you have to search me? I don't allow you to trample on my personality."

Seeing this worker's intense reaction, Li Li Xuewu waved his hand, and the armed security personnel in the guard post rushed out directly, standing on the side and pointing their guns at this person.

Good heavens, the man was scared silly. What kind of crime was it to be pointed at by a Type 56?

Seeing he stopped shouting, the security personnel stepped forward to search him, from his jacket all the way to his shoes. The workers who had already been released outside were no longer in a hurry to go home; they all stood outside the gate watching the excitement.

The security personnel directly found two copper bars from his calves. They were red copper. This stuff was most popular for making tobacco pouches or hot pot stoves, so many craftsmen were willing to buy it, but it was rare on the market, so workers were willing to take this stuff.

Seeing that not much was found and the items were very small, these copper bars should have been scraps left over after processing parts. But many a little makes a mickle; taking a little every day was enough for the family's living expenses for a month.

Seeing that something was really found, the complaints in the crowd instantly disappeared, and they lined up one by one to cooperate with the search.

This middle-aged male worker saw the copper bars in the security personnel's hands and his face instantly turned red. He lowered his head and no longer shouted about personality.

It was precisely because he was afraid of involving personality issues that a Public Security Squad member was sent to be on duty.

Han Han Yating didn't wait for Li Li Xuewu's arrangement. She directly had the guard team take the person to the detention room. At the very least, it would be a demotion and a fine.

Because it was the first day, the workers who stole things weren't prepared. Once they were in line, they didn't dare to leave, so they could only wait to be checked.

Han Han Yating was going to be busy tonight. In a rolling mill with over ten thousand people, it would take about 40 minutes to finish the search, and that was just a simple pass. But in these 40 minutes, 17 people carrying precious metals were found.

Like the first one, they didn't carry finished parts, only scraps. This stuff had big and small pieces when processed, some were chunks, some were shavings, and there was no way to control it.

They would have to stay up all night for interrogation tonight, and the expansion of the Public Security Squad was also imperative.

Li Li Xuewu stood in the guard post watching the whole time, afraid that the people in charge wouldn't be able to handle it on the first day. If over ten thousand people got into chaos, he would definitely be disciplined.

Just as he was watching, he suddenly discovered Sha Zhu and Ma Hua in the line. Sha Zhu was winking at him. Without thinking, there must be something in the lunchbox.

Li Li Xuewu walked out of the guard post and waved at Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu was also clever; he dragged Ma Hua and followed.

Li Li Xuewu took the two into the guard office. Everyone was on duty outside, so there was no one in the room.

As soon as Sha Zhu entered the room, he complained: "Brother, what's going on with your Security Section? How come there wasn't even a hint of wind?"

Li Li Xuewu glanced at him and said: "If you're going to complain, I won't help you. You'd better go back and line up."

Sha Zhu instantly stopped nagging. He took out his lunchbox and Ma Hua's lunchbox, opened the lids, and poured the stewed chicken with mushrooms inside into Li Li Xuewu's lunchbox.

"Is Deputy Factory Director Li treating guests again today?"

Sha Zhu cursed: "Still eating? Liu Lan is waiting there to clean up. I stewed two, dismantled one, and Ma Hua and I each had half. Who would have thought I'd run into the mountain king."

Li Li Xuewu covered the lunchbox and put it on the table, saying to Sha Zhu: "Don't be embarrassing. Do you think I'd care about your chicken? Come to my house tonight to get it."

Ma Hua said urgently: "Forget it, I don't want it anymore. You scared me to death."

Sha Zhu was also angry: "I'm not in the mood to eat anymore. I'm sweating all over, scared to death. Forget it, brother knows this isn't your fault. You take this chicken back and eat it; consider it fate."

Li Li Xuewu was so angry he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You two, can you speak like human beings? I tried to help you, but you're blaming me instead."

Sha Zhu chuckled: "This is called father and son soldiers on the battlefield. Who told you not to have an apprentice?"

Li Li Xuewu pushed him and said: "Then I won't be polite. Go, go line up."

After the two left, he put the lunchbox into his space. He had known it was this kind of thing, so he took the lunchbox out before the two entered the room.

Lou Lou Xiaoe would have a treat tonight.

By the time the last worker left the factory, it was already more than 50 minutes past the off-duty time. The first day was chaotic and wasted time, but it should be controllable within about half an hour in the future. It seemed the speed was okay.

After giving a few instructions, he rode his bicycle home.

When he was almost home, he took out a lunchbox. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw that the screen wall had been built, and the wall opposite had been repaired into a doorway.

"First Clan"

The kang in the first room and the kitchen stove in the second room were all built. Tomorrow would be whitewashing and laying the cement floor. Burning the kang for one night today and another night tomorrow, it would definitely be ready to live in the day after tomorrow.

It's just that the kang in the first room is a bit long; it could sleep ten people.

After asking Old Granny, he learned that this was because the inverted room in the west courtyard was going to be rebuilt into a storefront, and she had no place to live, so she lengthened the kang here.
