In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 54 Cafeteria Atmosphere
Everyone was marveling at the sight, but Yu Dawei was busy. He quickly found two particularly thick wooden planks in the corner of the yard.

Then, he stood in an open space and directed the crane operator to lower the engine onto the wooden planks.

Because the engine itself is extremely heavy, once it is placed firmly on the wooden block, there is no need to reinforce it.

As long as no one touches it, there's no need to worry about the engine tipping over.

Yu Dawei squatted down and examined the oil level. After finding that there were no problems, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The oil pan and engine oil had already been removed by the squad leader and one of the team members.

This includes the removal of the oil filter and diesel filter, as well as the release of hydraulic oil and diesel fuel.

At this point, the most important step in the entire excavator dismantling process has been completely completed.

The sun was just beginning to set, and it was past six in the afternoon. Yu Dawei looked at the joyful expressions on everyone's faces and couldn't help but smile as well.

In his past life, he ran a repair company, and he led a group of brothers, sweating under the sun.

It was only a short time, probably because of my poor management skills. In the end, the brothers who followed me went their separate ways.

"Master Yu, is there anything else we need to lift?" The crane operator, a cigarette dangling from his lips, exhaled a smoke ring with obvious satisfaction. He was happy to be finishing a job.

"That's all, thank you, sir." Yu Dawei smiled, turned around, removed the straps and lifting rings from the engine, and handed them back to the crane operator.

"You're welcome. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything." The crane operator turned to look at Bai Zhongsheng. "Director Bai, I'll be going now."

“Okay.” Bai Zhongsheng walked up to the crane operator. “Come with me for a moment, I’ll settle the payment for you.”

"Okay, thank you, Director Bai."

"Master Yu, the food in the canteen is ready. Shall we eat first?" The squad leader of the second team was filled with admiration for Yu Dawei.

Why would someone have this mentality? It's mainly related to Master Lü.

When Master Lü first came, I, the team leader, and the captain all tried to curry favor with him and helped him out.

After all, he came from the south and was a veteran mechanic with thirty years of experience in repairing cars, so I had a lot of respect for him.

But then the other side made a series of blunders, leaving this squad leader completely bewildered.

Let's take the tracks apart and see. Before doing so, he shamelessly said, "I think there's definitely something wrong with the track chain shaft underneath these tracks!"

Then I took it apart and looked at it, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Then they said there was a problem with the travel gear, but when we took it apart, we found that the sealing inside was excellent!

Finally, the pilot pump was disassembled. Seemingly realizing he had lost face, Master Lü began to try to salvage his image.

He insisted on doing it himself, explaining how to remove the rusted screws, and ended up unscrewing two and breaking two of them.

Ultimately, perhaps feeling that this car was too troublesome to repair, they turned their attention to another Ackerman 11.

That idiot captain of the first team clearly saw that the other team's skills were mediocre, but he still insisted on fawning over them, doing everything for them, and even dragging his whole team along to help.

He was somewhat disdainful, saying, "No matter how many decades you've been a master craftsman, you have to prove yourself with your skills."

If you couldn't do it before, neither could I, so let's just forget about it.

Today we found someone who could take down the big pump and engine, that's awesome! I really admire his squad leader!
"Okay." Yu Dawei glanced at the engine and the large pump, then looked at the team that had already left. "Let's go too. If we leave too late, there might not be any food left." "Haha, don't worry, Master Yu, there's plenty of food." The squad leader laughed and then turned around to start packing up the tools with his brothers.

Yu Dawei did the favor as well. Afterwards, the group went to the second floor together.

The group walked through the corridor on the first floor and turned right. The room on the left was where they ate.

The old man who was sleeping at the entrance at noon was still cooking.

Yu Dawei saw that the old man was wearing a white coat and a chef's hat. Perhaps because his head was too big, the hat could only be worn on a little bit, which looked a bit comical.

You need to wash your hands before eating. Even if you're wearing gloves, your hands will most likely have black grease after repairing a car. Even if they're not greasey, they'll still be very dirty.

There won't be any hand sanitizer right now, but there will be laundry detergent, which is much better than the hand sanitizer we'll have in the future.

"Master Yu, you go first." Someone from the second team cupped their hands in greeting to Yu Dawei.

"You guys go ahead and wash, I'm not in a hurry." Yu Dawei was polite for a moment, but seeing that the other party was even more polite than him, he decisively put his hands into the basin.

He hates unnecessary politeness; he doesn't even know why he has to be polite when washing his hands.

For dinner, we had steamed buns, a cabbage and tofu soup, spicy shredded potatoes, and a meat dish—braised pork.

However, the meat was diced, but the potato pieces inside were quite large, making for a generous portion.

Bai Zhongsheng arrived after settling the payment with the crane operator. There were two large tables in the room, and when there were fewer people, the first and second teams would sit together.

Now that there are more people and they are all working with different masters, it has become a situation where one team is working with Master Lü at one table and the other team is working with Master Yu at another table.

The brigade leader ate standing up.

Damn it, I could smell the gunpowder as soon as I entered the cafeteria.

Especially Team One; these guys are usually carefree, but when they come back from work to eat, they're always making a racket at the dinner table. (Author's note: "Making a racket" refers to being noisy or talking loudly and uncontrollably.)
But today it was as if the machine gun had stopped firing. Those guys who usually loved to talk were now eating with their heads down, occasionally whispering among themselves, but when they looked at the other table, their eyes were filled with hostility.

The captain sighed helplessly.

It's his fault, really. When he was choosing squad leaders, he wanted to balance the relationships, so he chose two people who didn't get along.

Now, things have gotten really bad. The people in Team One and Team Two, who were following behind their captains, have started to get on each other's bad side.

"Eat your food! You can't even control your eyes while eating, aren't you afraid of going blind?" The captain's father stretched out his rice spoon and scooped another spoonful of braised pork into his son's plate. There were lots of diced pork and very few potatoes.

"Huh? What's going on?" Bai Zhongsheng had just finished paying the crane operator and was about to enter the canteen when he froze, his gaze finally settling on the team leader. "Are you enjoying your meal standing there?"

The captain quickly put on a fawning smile: "No, no, this place is close to the food stalls, so it's easy to get food."

Bai Zhongsheng rolled his eyes and turned to Yu Dawei and Master Lü: "Dawei, Master Lü, and your captain, you guys come with me to my office to eat. The rest of you can eat where you are."

Yu Dawei raised an eyebrow. Xiao Bai's reaction was acceptable. He had also thought of it. If no one interfered with the atmosphere here, the people from Team One would probably block the door after the meal and deliberately cause trouble for Team Two.

Master Lü had probably already stirred up a lot of anger among the group before even entering the canteen.

Yu Dawei stood up. Although he didn't know if his guess was right, he felt that he was probably right when he saw the way Team One looked at Team Two.

Thanks, Xiaobai, for taking a bullet for me!
