Chapter 337 What is this?
Chuncheng is quite far from Bingcheng. They came by train, which took more than half a day.
Chen Yi felt that after walking such a long distance, it would be a waste of time if she didn't buy some local specialties to bring back.
Not only is there a lot of food in Bingcheng, there is also imported candy and chocolate from the Soviet Union. However, these things are too expensive.
Although it does not require foreign exchange, few people can afford it.
Chen Yi is not short of money, so she bought a little less and then added some from the space and took it home for everyone to taste.
Because it was almost time to get off work, she didn't buy much and went home directly.
She didn't come here to attend the meeting this time. Director Li wanted her to come after the meeting, but she felt that there was no need for that.
Everyone knows the situation in the factory now, so if you go there it will be the same meeting as before, so you might as well save the time to come and look at the fabrics.
When she returned to the hotel, she just saw Director Lin and others coming out.
"Director Chen is back. Let's go out for dinner together?" Director Lin and his colleagues also wanted to go out for dinner. They hadn't eaten anything during the whole ride in the car.
Chen Yi nodded, put the things back, and then followed everyone to the state-owned restaurant next door.
It was lunchtime and there were quite a few people in the room, mostly employees from nearby factories.
Eating out is not uncommon in this era. Even though people only earn a dozen or thirty yuan a month, they are willing to spend two or three yuan, or three or five yuan on a meal.
Eating out was a symbol of status at that time, and many people passing by state-owned restaurants would look inside.
Chen Yi and the others chose to sit by the window inside. Director Lin was the one who ordered the food, and this time, all the money for the meal was paid for by him.
"Director Chen, what do you like to eat?" Director Lin remembered that they were still following a leader, so he looked around and came back to ask.
"I eat whatever you eat. You don't have to take special care of me. I don't eat beef, but I eat everything else." Chen Yi said with a smile.
The factory paid for the meal, so she couldn't just eat whatever she wanted as if she were spending her own money.
After hearing what she said, Director Lin went back to continue ordering food.
The food was served quickly. The four of us ordered two dishes, one was cabbage and pork belly stewed with vermicelli, and the other was three fresh vegetables.
These are the most common home-cooked dishes in Northeast China, but they definitely taste better when eaten in a restaurant.
Chen Yi glanced at the small blackboard for supply, which showed specialties like air-dried sausage, but the prices were not cheap.
The price of a small plate is enough to order two large plates of three fresh delicacies.
This is normal. Air-dried sausage is made of meat and does not contain any starch, so it cannot be compared.
(The author knows how to make dried sausage, but it is really expensive. If you buy it, it costs more than 40 yuan per pound. If you make it yourself, it costs the same as the price of meat.)
Everyone was eating in a lively atmosphere, and the more people there were, the more they ate.
There was a big bowl of cabbage vermicelli and a large plate of three fresh vegetables, and several people ate them all.
Basically I eat a lot and never feel hungry when I am on a business trip.
"Director Chen, you eat too little." Director Lin often travels on business, so he knows everyone's appetite.
However, he didn't expect Chen Yi to eat so little, only half the amount of a lesbian.
The female comrade next to her felt a little embarrassed, as if she had not eaten at all.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "I just don't eat much, so you don't have to take care of me. Just eat until you're full. I'm not stupid and I definitely won't let you go hungry."
In fact, she eats meat every day, so she doesn't eat as much as others. Because there is less oil and water, they eat more and don't feel hungry.
After finishing their meal, they returned to a nearby hotel. Since there were no entertainment activities at the moment, everyone went back and prepared to go to bed.
There were female comrades among the group this time, so the two of them were arranged to live in the same room.
Logically speaking, Chen Yi could live in a single room with her status, but it was also necessary to save resources. Since there were lesbians there, they lived together.
"Director Chen."
Chen Yi had just laid down when she heard someone next to her calling her.
"What's wrong, Secretary Yang?" she asked curiously.
Yang Jiexiang was a little embarrassed and asked, "Where did you buy this little dress? It's so pretty."
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then lowered her head to look. She was wearing a sports vest, which was just a short bra.
She has never liked lace or anything like that, she only wears sportswear which is more comfortable.
"This, I made it myself, what's wrong?"
She could only say that she made it herself, after all, there was nowhere to buy it if she wanted to.
Hearing her say this, Yang Jiexiang was a little disappointed. She thought it was bought...
"Nothing." She smiled and said, "I think it looks pretty good. It should be comfortable to wear, right?"
If someone else made it themselves, then it would be difficult for her to say that she wanted it.
Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "It's indeed very comfortable. Do you like this?"
"Look at what I'm wearing. Do you think I'm comfortable?" Yang Jiexiang helplessly showed her vest, which was the floral vest that old ladies in later generations wore, and could be worn as an outer layer...
Only then did Chen Yi realize that bras and other clothes were not popular yet, and no one was making them.
So could she give it a try?
But if this kind of thing is not accepted by people, it will be a waste of the factory's resources.
When Yang Jiexiang fell asleep, Chen Yi was still thinking about this matter. She felt that it was a good idea, but she was also worried about wasting resources.
People are very conservative at this time, who knows if they will accept it?
When Chen Yi woke up the next morning, she didn't feel very energetic, but she still had to go look at the fabrics today.
When Director Lin came out, he saw that she was not in good condition and asked, "Director Chen, are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "It's okay. I didn't sleep well last night. Let's go eat first, and then get down to business."
I just didn't sleep well, it doesn't affect anything.
After hearing what she said, Director Lin didn't ask any more questions.
After dinner, everyone took a bus to the first factory of Bingcheng Textile Factory. The factory here is very big, even bigger than Baicheng Textile Factory.
Chen Yi first went to the warehouse to look at the fabric samples and found a lot of printed fabrics.
"The fabric this time is very good. Why didn't I see it in the factory before?" She looked at Director Lin with some confusion.
After all, their factory makes clothes, so they should have new products, but I haven't seen any of them here.
Director Lin replied: "Our factory has always produced ordinary clothes, without any special features, so the fabrics used are also the same."
"Ice City is next to the Soviet Union. A few years ago, we imported two large printing machines and had technicians to guide us, so the fabrics are very good."
"But this is my first time here, and I've never dared to try it before."
Fabrics are closely related to clothing, and generally, we purchase fabrics that are frequently used.
What about pure cotton corduroy? There are very few print options, which is also the reason why I have never used it.
Chen Yi nodded, thinking that the second factory still had a lot of room for improvement, at least it had to be bolder in purchasing.
Thank you for the reward for the good time. The next update will be later.
