Chapter 80 Cleaning Up
When I arrived at the restaurant, I realized that it was not easy to have a meal.
Supermarkets have already restricted purchases for ordinary people, and business places such as restaurants can only continue to operate after being reviewed by the Qinghe Alliance.
Each restaurant can only purchase a fixed amount of grain, oil and vegetables each month, so when it comes down to daily supplies, there really isn't much.
Why not just close all the restaurants?
Isn’t it because Qinghua Country has become accustomed to this kind of life? If it is banned all at once, it would be like going back to the 1950s and 1960s.
Change also requires a process. Besides, we are not at the end of our rope yet.
Bi Qiaoan and his friends caught the last wave of supply at noon today. About 10 to 20 people squeezed into the private room and filled up the two large round tables.
"Looking at the situation, the restaurant won't be open for much longer." Shi Leyong said as soon as he sat down.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's just that there is a limit on the supply, not that they can't move it away." Wei Qin always looks good on the surface, and she never says anything inappropriate.
"Yes, when there is nothing to eat at home, we can still fill our stomachs outside." Yu Shui also nodded and said, "I don't know how long our company's cafeteria can last."
After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan also expressed his own opinion, "I guess when there is no water, the restaurant will not be able to operate. In addition, there should be no shortage of food in the short term, but vegetables will become less and less."
Upon hearing Bi Qiaoan say this, Chen Qing also spoke up: "Yes, I don't dare to eat vegetables recently. Every time I buy vegetables, I eat a small amount and make the rest into dried vegetables and save them for winter."
"It's sunny these two days, so we can take out the dried vegetables and dry them in the sun. After all, it rained some time ago, and no matter how we treat them, we're afraid that the dried vegetables will get damp." Bi Qiaoan took the opportunity to remind.
Seeing everyone chatting and laughing, Shi Leyong asked, "Have your relatives gone home yet?"
"I just sent my parents-in-law back yesterday. My hometown is okay. The damage was not serious. It will be fine once the water recedes. It's just that smell that I can't stand." Wei Qin said.
After hearing this, Chen Qing sighed, "Sister Qin, you are relieved this time. Sigh, the situation at home really worries me to death."
Chen Qing's words successfully attracted everyone's attention to himself, "After the rain stopped, I sent those people back home. When I arrived at the village, I found that the houses were destroyed.
The village was full of mud, rocks, garbage, and many dead rats.
We took one look and came back, because it was really uninhabitable.”
Chen Qing sighed, "Now, I still have a lot of people at home, and I have to support them all by myself."
"Didn't they sign up for the labor service?"
"Yes, they were notified to go to clean up the pollution. No one wants to do it, so they are all lying at home." Chen Qing sneered, "They are still thinking about finding a job that pays more, has less work and is closer to home."
Bi Qiaoan pursed his lips and said, "In fact, the treatment of laborers is quite good. Being able to sign a contract with Qinghe Alliance can be considered a half-iron rice bowl."
Others may not know, but Bi Qiaoan knows that now it seems that the laborers are doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, but in fact, as long as the laborers pass the preliminary test, they can either join the reserve force of the Qinghe Guard or follow the footsteps of the logistics department of the Qinghe Alliance, and they will have no shortage of food, clothing or other necessities.
In her previous life, Bi Qiaoan thought that she was rich and a girl, so she did not participate in the recruitment of laborers.
But later, the money was no longer useful and not everyone could find a job. The laborers who were previously looked down upon became popular because their wages in the later stages were various survival supplies.
Moreover, female laborers are given preferential treatment in the logistics department of the Qinghe Alliance and are assigned relatively easy tasks. When Bi Qiaoan found out about this in her previous life, she almost regretted it to death.
But now, Bi Qiaoan couldn't make his words so clearly. Today's reminder was purely for the sake of his colleagues. As for whether they would listen to it, that all depended on fate.
Look, even after hearing Bi Qiaoan say this, no one cared.
"I can't control them anymore. I found a construction team for them to renovate the houses in their hometown. Once the houses are repaired, I will let them go home. How they live after that is not my business." Chen Qing said, shaking his head.
Shi Leyong also said: "In fact, it is understandable that they are unwilling to do the work of laborers. After all, everyone is used to sitting in the office now.
Moreover, for people who have all graduated from college, the psychological gap is too great for them to do physical work.
Besides, with our arms and legs, we're probably going to get tired even without moving much."
"Yes, I see the laborers near my home working from morning to night. Their hard work is so great. And the garbage they deal with is crawling with small bugs. It makes me feel sick just looking at it." As she spoke, Wei Qin covered her nose with her hand. She seemed to be recalling some not-so-good scenes.
"It's only been two days, and I saw on Weibo that some workers have blisters on their fingers. Some couldn't hold on and had their contracts terminated. Those who can hold on are all strong-willed," said Yu Shui, giving a thumbs up.
"Yes, this is just the beginning. There will be more tiring work in the future. We are lucky and don't have to worry about losing our jobs..." Wei Qin said with emotion.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Bi Qiaoan nodded quietly. This was also an important reason why she and Shen Yanming chose their jobs after their rebirth.
In the previous life, continuous disasters caused the unemployment rate in Qinghua Country to remain high, but the people had to live and eat.
There is no free relief food in Qinghua Country, because Qinghua Country firmly believes that citizens should not be allowed to gain something without working.
So slowly, through constant exploration, the Qinghe Alliance found many types of jobs and provided people with jobs.
In this situation, there will naturally be easy work and heavy work.
Although he was not sure whether the Qinghe Alliance would make the same arrangements in this life as in the previous life, since Bi Qiaoan was reborn, he naturally had to make use of the advantages of being a reborn person and find himself the easiest and safest job.
Well, it was because Bi Qiaoan was reborn early that he got a stable job. Look at Zhang Chenjun, he missed the last chance to get a stable job because he was reborn late.
"Nini, why would a girl like you sign up to be a laborer? We have a company and supplies, so why would we need you to do that? Can we not go?"
Zhang Chenjun was wearing a yellow work suit, with beads of sweat on his forehead and his face was sunburned red. He was fanning himself with his hat.
This was already the third day that Zhang Chenjun had been out clearing silt. Zhang's father had never imagined that his spoiled little princess would be so humble as to do such a dirty, messy and tiring job.
