“Did you make the call?”

Old Man Zheng asked his son when he saw him.  

“Yes, the call was answered by that beautiful lady who made the Lüdagun. Her husband was out on business and will call back once he returns home.” 

Zheng Yuqiang pulled up a chair to sit down and reached out to pat the dogs’ heads, but they bared their teeth and growled. 

A bit flustered, he quickly withdrew his hand.  

Zheng Yuqiang remembered what Chu Qiao had said about the two dogs during the call, he couldn’t help but laugh. 

“Dad, when that beautiful lady heard the name Hongchang Auto Parts Factory, she instantly asked whether it was the factory with the two big dogs. It seemed that they really scared her that day.”  

Old Man Zheng also chuckled. 

“That young lady is quite timid. Dahu and Xiaohu don’t bite, what’s there to be afraid of? What did she say when you called?”

After saying this, he smacked his lips, once again reminded of the Lüdagun. 

None of the ones his son had bought recently were decent, only that girl’s version was authentic. 

It was a shame he didn’t know where she lived; even if he did, he’d be too ashamed to show up at her door for a meal. How awkward would that be?  

Zheng Yuqiang couldn’t help but laugh, knowing his father must be craving it again. 

“Dad, that lady is kind. She said she’d make you some scallion and meat dumplings and bring them over for you to enjoy, along with Lüdagun. She also mentioned introducing you to her father-in-law. He’s about your age and has marched and fought in the war, I’m sure you two would hit it off.”  

Old Man Zheng’s eyes instantly lit up. 

“Did that young lady really say that?”  

“Why would I lie to you?” 

Zheng Yuqiang replied with an amused chuckle.

Old Man Zheng couldn’t help but swallow hard. 

Oh no, he was craving scallions and beef dumplings again.

Shanghai had its advantages, but decent dumplings were difficult to get here.

He disliked wontons and preferred scallion dumplings.  

-Wonton 

“When is she going to bring them?”  

Old Man Zheng was growing impatient. If that young lady could make such delicious Lüdagun, then her dumplings must also be good, right?  

“Probably in the next few days. You are welcome to pay them a visit and eat whatever you like after I get to know her husband better. There’s no need to hold back. ” 

Zheng Yuqiang responded with a laugh.  

Old Man Zheng snorted dismissively. 

“I’m not a gluttonous person. I will eat whatever is offered as long as it satisfies my stomach. Grass roots and tree bark were our staple foods back then. Being able to eat what we want these days is something to be grateful for.”

“Right, of course you’re not craving anything. Your son is simply showing some filial respect.” 

Zheng Yuqiang held back a laugh. 

His father was obviously tempted but too proud to admit it. 

He then shifted the subject to the machine tools, praising, 

“Dad, it’s a good thing you ran into that lady that day. Otherwise, if I had gone ahead and bought the Southern machine tools, we would’ve suffered a significant loss.”  

Even now, Zheng Yuqiang had a lingering sense of dread. 

When his father first met Chu Qiao, he had already agreed to buy twenty units of equipment from Southern Machine Tool Factory the next day.

Southern machine tools were in high demand in the market at the time, and he had only been able to secure an order for twenty units by pulling strings.

Despite his doubts, he began to investigate the weaknesses of Southern machine tools after learning about them from his father.  

His investigation had revealed problems. 

He had visited several factories that had purchased Southern machine tools two or three years prior. 

Thanks to his good relationships there, they had been honest with him. 

And just as Chu Qiao said, the issues were real.  

The first year had seen high production efficiency and excellent quality, but by the second year, problems had begun to emerge. 

The precision had deteriorated significantly, and the gears produced no longer met customer requirements. 

Southern Machine Tool Factory technicians had been brought in several times for repairs, but the results were unsatisfactory. 

Now, those factories were using the Southern machine tools only for gears with lower precision requirements, yet problems still persisted.
