Chapter 120 Tyrant Factory
Fat Liu smiled and said, "Okay, it's great that you are here. It saves us from being too busy." He was full of confidence.
Liu Zhang glanced at Liu Pang, wondering where his confidence came from.
The salaries of steel mill employees are notoriously high. In recent years, internal recruitment has been common. Consequently, if a family has a steel mill employee, they often bring in other family members as well.
He has several employees in his family and his monthly income is only over 100 yuan, which makes him a high-income earner in the county.
On weekdays, there are all kinds of factory benefits, and they divide this and that up whenever they want. There is money left over, and they can do whatever they want with it.
Steel plant workers are well-known for their love of food and enjoyment.
I heard that there are some female comrades who take a bus to the next county to eat delicious food every time. This kind of luxurious experience is only available to the employees of their factory.
Ordinary things cannot impress them.
It turned out that some relatives of factory workers also wanted to set up stalls at the intersection.
It was sold out after just two or three days. There was nothing they could do; the food they made wasn't tasty. They sold very few, and not only didn't make any money, they actually lost a lot. No one else did it anymore, and I'm afraid others will suffer the same fate.
What's more, the chef of the steel plant has passed the chef's certificate exam. The food in the factory is so delicious, who would spend money to eat out?
Liu Zhang was not very optimistic about his business, but seeing that Liu Pang was so enthusiastic, he felt embarrassed to pour cold water on him.
I had no choice but to smile and clean up the things first, and put everything on the two tables. The first table was filled with more than 20 kinds of condiments for cold dishes.
There were also two clean basins filled with meat piled up like mountains, which looked unappetizing. One of them had a lid on. I planned to open it when the employees left at noon to prevent it from getting cold and making the braised meat taste bad.
Xu Aidang couldn't help but call Liu Pang over and asked, "That's it?"
Although everyone was a bit craving meat, this meat was too simple. Cooking meat and expecting to sell it for money was too much of a disdain for the steel mill and spring factory.
Although the employees at the spring factory cannot compare to the regular employees at the steel factory, they still earn a lot.
The meat is too chopped up. To people like them who eat meat regularly, they can tell at a glance that it is not good meat. Some are fat, some are lean, some have skin, and some have tendons. It looks a mess.
Fatty Liu said, "These are all pieces of meat removed from pig heads!"
The two factory managers' sons felt a little nauseous when they heard about the meat from pig heads.
Is that edible? I heard that the pig heads sold at the county pork shop are eaten by their families, and no one would buy them specifically.
Xu Aidang said, "If you want to sell something, why not take some good stuff? That's just fooling people!" So he took some pig offal to deal with it.
This kind of simple and crude meat might be liked by people at a construction site, as workers are the highest-ranking group. Selling pork offal in front of these people is simply not feasible.
Fat Liu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You don't understand how delicious these things are!" As a foodie, he knew that these were even more delicious than steamed meat.
Xu Aidang wanted to say something more but was stopped by Liu Zhang who was standing next to him.
Liu Zhang said, "The bell will ring soon." He glanced at his watch.
Fatty Liu also noticed it: "Hey, your watch is quite nice."
Speaking of this, Liu Zhang's face was full of pride: "Yes, this is a genuine Roman watch, which can only be bought in Shanghai!"
He had asked a friend to get this watch from out of town. This watch alone cost 500 yuan, which is equivalent to a year's salary for others.
And even if you want to buy it, you may not be able to buy it. I heard that these are all numbered.
I registered it when I bought it, so it’s official.
Fat Liu just took a look at it and let it go. He didn't have any demand for other material things. He always wore a tattered cloth shirt, and the watch was given to him by his father who had discarded it.
If you didn't know he was the son of a pig farm, you would have thought he was just an ordinary, sloppy guy.
Soon, they heard the bell ringing from inside, and Fat Liu immediately said, "Okay, I'll ask them to come out to help." Then he asked Lu Xiang to get out of the car and come out with the other two helpers.
Liu Zhang and Xu Aidang looked gossipy and pulled Liu Pang over to them: "Is this your girlfriend?"
Fatty Liu said righteously: "Don't talk nonsense, she is Fu Qinhui's wife!"
Fu Qinhui and the others knew about this. A railway leader had once wanted to marry his daughter to Fu Qinhui, but was rejected two or three times. This was considered incredibly heroic in the hearts of their second-generation group.
It was said that the leader's daughter had high standards and could not easily look down on others. Fu Qinhui essentially rejected the opportunity to become a "son-in-law".
Otherwise, based on his college entrance examination results, it would be impossible for him to be assigned to a supply and marketing cooperative after graduation. At the very least, he would be a small cadre sitting in an office!
They didn't know why Fu Qinhui was so brave before.
Now I understand as soon as I see Lu Xiang.
If they had such a beautiful wife, they would make the same choice.
Both of them knew that Liu Pang and Fu Qinhui had a good relationship when they were in high school.
They had also seen that such a cold person actually got married first, and then they sighed.
Unlike the other three, who were neither high nor low, they have been floundering till now.
I felt a sense of crisis when I saw Lu Xiang before, but when I heard that Lu Xiang was not Liu Pang’s girlfriend, this sense of crisis disappeared. Good brothers will walk together for the rest of their lives and remain single together.
People started coming out one after another. Some of the factory workers ate in the cafeteria, while others went home to eat and take a nap. Lu Xiang quickly prepared a plate of stir-fried vegetables!
I added all the seasonings in moderation, sprinkled some chili oil, and added cilantro and cucumber shreds to give it a vibrant red and green look. It looked much better than before. I set it aside as a sample.
Then open the lid of the braised meat.
Liu Zhang and Xu Aidang were immediately startled by the fragrance.
The meat was in the big wooden barrel before, and the aroma was blocked tightly by the lid. They didn't smell it, but when they smelled it suddenly, they were so shocked that they couldn't react.
The people at the steel factory were also attracted by the fragrance. They were about to leave, but suddenly changed their steps and came to an unfamiliar stall.
The smell of the braised meat was the most overbearing and quickly spread throughout the surrounding area. Those people who were going to the cafeteria to eat were suddenly attracted by the unfamiliar aroma and couldn't help but come out to take a look out of curiosity.
Then a dull-looking man came out and asked, "What are you selling?"
Fatty Liu shouted, "The cold-mixed pig's head and the stewed meat are the same price, both are 1.5 yuan per pound. Would you like to buy some to try?"
The fact that they can buy meat without tickets is quite attractive to ordinary people.
"One pound each," a man in a Mao suit quickly spoke up. As expected of someone from the steel mill, he didn't even blink at such an expensive item. He offered them three yuan and opened the shop.
