Xu Xiangyang smiled without saying anything, just raised his hand and took a sip of wine.
It's still as spicy as ever, but without the alcohol-infused flavor.
Master Sun felt a little anxious when he saw that he didn't respond, but he also knew that this was not a matter of urgency.
He turned to look at Guan Qilin next to him. This man was also drinking leisurely and didn't look at him.
There was no other way, so he poked the person next to him under the table.
Guan Qilin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him, his eyes full of confusion.
It seems to be asking: Why are you poking fun at me?
Master Sun was speechless, especially when he found that Xu Xiangyang was also looking at him, he felt even more embarrassed.
"Haha." He smiled awkwardly.
This is really true that no one can be trusted!
"Director Xu." He turned around and began to speak pitifully, "You know I don't have any connections. Procuring ordinary things is fine, but anything related to meat is beyond my ability!"
Generally, there is someone in the canteen who is responsible for this business, but no one else can be trusted, so the burden falls on him.
It’s usually okay, but during the New Year holidays he starts to worry because he really can’t get anything!
Seeing that he looked like he was about to cry, Xu Xiangyang asked, "Do you want me to do these things again?"
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but if he does it too often, people will inevitably talk about him.
Master Sun noticed it, and he didn't look too happy. After a moment's thought, he said, "Director Xu, I heard the city next door is planning to slaughter pigs for the August Festival. Should we go there and try to get a pig? Maybe we can get half a pig?"
He didn't dare to want a pig at all, it was no ordinary thing.
As soon as the news about the pig farm next door was released, I don’t know how many units went there.
If there is any left, they can share half a pig.
Xu Xiangyang was a little curious. Do pig farms kill pigs during festivals? They usually don't kill pigs until the end of the year.
"Why is the news released on August 1st? Did they say they would kill a few pigs?" he asked casually.
Seeing that he didn't know the truth, Master Sun told him what happened.
It turned out that food was in short supply at that time, so all the pigs weighing about 180 or 200 kilograms were slaughtered and sold.
This way we can survive until the autumn harvest without wasting food, and we can also raise a batch of pigs. Wouldn't it be better to sell them during the New Year?
Xu Xiangyang understood. So that's it.
However, food is indeed in short supply now. In many places, people pull up the grains and grind them together to eat. This way they won’t get poisoned and can eat more.
He didn't want to help anyone. In such an environment, he could hardly protect himself, let alone others.
"Director Xu? What do you think?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Master Sun asked again.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at him calmly and said, "Procurement for the cafeteria is your responsibility. What? Do you think I'm too relaxed? You still want to assign me some work?"
If this person wasn't a good cook, he would have kicked him out right now.
Close the door by the way.
Master Sun quickly waved his hands when he heard his words, "No way, I wouldn't dare, I don't mean that!"
He was afraid that Xu Xiangyang would be really angry, but if there was any way, he would not provoke Xu Xiangyang.
Guan Qilin coughed twice and said, "Alright, alright, it's all for the sake of the factory. Master Sun is just too anxious. Director Xu, don't be angry."
He likes to be a good guy and come out to stir things up.
However, Xu Xiangyang was not really angry. He turned to Master Sun and said, "I won't make it difficult for you. Just bring back ten kilograms of meat for the August Festival. You can figure it out yourself."
This is really not difficult. Ten kilograms of meat is not a lot. Generally, an organization will purchase this amount once a month.
Some units purchase twice a month, ten kilograms each time.
Master Sun is in a very difficult situation right now, so why is he bringing this up?
It's really a bad mouth that brings trouble!
After dinner, the three of them separated.
Xu Xiangyang did not go home either, but returned to live in the office.
Anyway, he is just an old man, so no one will care where he lives.
There is a single bed in the office, and you can enter the space by closing the doors and windows. How nice.
The next morning, Master Sun found him with a happy look on his face.
"Director Xu, good news." He smiled, his face mysterious, and didn't say any good news.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at him and asked, "Why, Master Sun is talking about a pig?"
His words made Master Sun very embarrassed.
"A pig..."
"You really think highly of me!" he said with a wry smile.
Xu Xiangyang shrugged his shoulders and said, "What other good news could there be? There is no other good news besides this."
Everything in the factory is now on track. Apart from eating, who else needs good news?
Master Sun had no way of refutation and could only say, "I called this morning and asked, and one company only wants half the meat. I've reserved the other half. But, it's a bit pricey."
There are many factors to consider when it comes to price. In addition to slaughtering, another one is transportation.
Pig farms can help with slaughtering and transporting pigs, but these must be counted in the meat.
Xu Xiangyang asked, "How much is it? If it's suitable, that's fine too."
He had never been to a pig farm to buy meat, so he had no idea what was going on there.
"They want 60 cents per pound." Master Sun said with a painful expression.
It's as if this is not buying pork, but selling his meat.
Xu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment. Sixty cents?
Not counting the meat coupons that come with a pound of meat at the butcher shop outside, it still costs 80 cents.
The price has increased by one cent in the past two years, while it was seven cents in the previous two years.
But it is more expensive on the black market, one pound of meat costs one dollar and two cents, and no meat coupons are required.
Compared to money, tickets are sold in fixed amounts, so there are no extras.
He asked doubtfully, "Isn't this price expensive? The butcher shop charges 80 cents per pound."
Master Sun, realizing he didn't know the situation, explained, "How can the price of our live pigs compare to the finished product? Generally speaking, it's 40 or 45 cents per pound."
"But at this price, they don't care about transportation or slaughtering. Isn't this just buying half? They have to kill it and then divide it."
Xu Xiangyang understood. So there is such a saying.
He didn't understand it before, and recently the space has been selling canned food and no fresh pork has been sold.
It seems that I have to be careful when purchasing goods in the future. I can’t just buy them casually, otherwise I will be bullied.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Master Sun continued, "Director Xu, why don't you give him a call and ask if it can be cheaper?"
He didn't force it, because even five cents off is still money.
If half of the meat is calculated as 100 kilograms, you can save five dollars.
Xu Xiangyang was not interested in bargaining like the aunties in the vegetable market.
"You can figure it out yourself. Our factory can pick up the goods ourselves. You can go and study it."
What he said was that he didn't want to keep controlling these people.
There was no other way, Master Sun could only go back and ask again, maybe he could bargain for the price.
