Chapter 106: Cleaning
Fang Mingche had always known that it was impossible for him to collect the transfer fee of the big bowl tea stall. So at this time, he would not be too disappointed. Among this group of people, it was already good to know Lao Song and Wang Dexian.
He continued to teach these people simple spoken English as agreed. At the same time, he was doing the last month of business.
In the small side courtyard, Lin Yan and others were also ready to set off.
Yan Yan carried a plastic water bottle and wore a sun hat. She said reluctantly: "Mom, I want to take your car."
She was arranged to take the tricycle ridden by Zhu Dahai.
Lin Yan said softly: "If I take you, it will slow down everyone. The place is too far! If we don't leave now, the sun will come out. Otherwise, you stay at home and go back to Aunt Song's house or Teacher Gao's house for lunch?"
"No." Yan Yan shook her head.
"Then take Uncle Zhu's car." Zhu Dahai carried ten honeycomb coals and a small stove. There were also cooking pots, pots, shovels, buckets, shoulder poles, bowls and chopsticks, etc.
In addition, there were five kilograms of rice, meat and vegetables. There are also pickled mustard tubers, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, etc.
I definitely won't be back for lunch. It's too expensive for so many people to go
out to eat, so I'll take them home and cook them myself. Besides, it's not certain whether there are restaurants in the countryside. When business was at its best, Fang Mingche bought four small stoves. Now three are more than enough, and the extra ones can be taken to the scrap yard. The stove over there
is not ready to use, so let's use the small stove first. Well, I have to take a break at noon, so I brought a few rolled-up mats. I definitely won't do outdoor work during the hottest period.
But the house in the yard hasn't been cleaned for a long time. I do cleaning work during the hottest period. So I also took brooms and rags.
There were four vehicles in total: Lin Yan took one, and Zhu Dahai rode the rented tricycle to carry things. Geng Shan and Liu Qingfeng rode one, and the other four part-time workers also shared two vehicles. Not every household has a 28-inch bicycle nowadays.
The tricycle for carrying things was rented from the people in the compound when business was at its best. Now it has been rented again. But they said that if they don't rent it to them to collect waste, they can use it for daily use!
People in the slum are on the sidelines about Fang Mingche's waste recycling business. They also think it is dirty and tiring, and they can't make a lot of money. However, it should be okay to work for him and get a monthly salary.
Teacher Gao sees the truth but doesn't say it. The key is that these people won't believe empty words. Besides, why should they believe it?
It's not that he is afraid that these people will know the benefits and steal the business. He roughly estimated that Xiao Fang would have to buy another tricycle. The starting capital would be thousands.
Moreover, if it fails to scale up in the first few months, it will probably lose money. Most people don't have the courage to invest so much money.
Men are stronger than women. Even if it carries an adult, it will be faster than Lin Yan carrying Yanyan. So she arranged for Yanyan to take a tricycle.
Now everything is ready, let's set off -
before Lin Yan got on the car, she raised her wrist to check her plum blossom watch, 7:20. She hasn't been there yet, so everyone can only follow Zhu Dahai today.
First, leave the city. It is already rush hour. They are basically going against the flow of traffic. Fortunately, pedestrians stay on the right, so the direction out of the city is not crowded.
Seeing so many people go there, Aunt Yuan and other people in the compound actually know that they were hired by Fang Mingche to open up wasteland. But the biggest contradiction in society today is the contradiction between not being able to find a job and having to eat.
It's just that the subdistrict office turns a blind eye to many things. They will definitely not risk the wrath of the world to report it. It will hurt others and not benefit themselves! And they will be criticized.
After all, the six young people all live in a slum. If they really report it, they will offend many neighbors.
Moreover, what if the young people can't find a legitimate job and steal like other street thugs? The security in the capital is not very good now. It will be troublesome if they meet someone who eats grass in their own backyard. Didn't Xiao Fang encounter a burglary when he bought unsaleable products from the supply and marketing cooperative before?
Nowadays, it is a good thing to have one less idle person. Of course, most young people don't want to be idle.
Teacher Gao asked, "Aunt Yuan, I heard that more than 3,300 individual industrial and commercial business licenses were issued in Shenyang, Dandong and other places at the end of June?"
Aunt Yuan nodded, "That's true."
"Then when will our capital issue these business licenses?"
Aunt Yuan said, "One place at a time. Let the northeast try it out first. If it's suitable, it will definitely be the capital's turn. Once the capital implements it, it means that all parts of the country will follow suit. Now we encourage individual economy. Besides, even if there is no business license, everyone is still doing it. This is crossing the river by feeling the stones. Seeing that others are doing well, those who have a way will definitely find a way one after another."
The two of them sang in unison, and even if someone in the slum had other ideas, they suppressed them. Since some places have started to issue business licenses, it is obviously not easy to report it.
As for employment, if they refuse to admit it, they can say that it is just like the handicraft cooperative before, it is an exchange of labor. It's not unreasonable.
It's just renting a house normally, and it's not strange for neighbors to help clean up.
Aunt Yuan just wanted to spend some time in the slum, so she was happy to cooperate.
Lin Yan and her group rode out of the city. The sun hadn't come out yet, and there was a breeze blowing all the way. Life was still pretty good!
After riding for about 50 minutes, they arrived. For people in the old capital, this is definitely a suburb.
But how could one rent such a large yard if it wasn't in such a remote place? This is bigger than the entire slum of Grandpa Gu. There are more than a dozen families living there.
Lin Yan said, "Let's weed first while the sun is still low. Liu Qingfeng, go find some water nearby and bring it back. The soil is too dry, so it's better to sprinkle some water. We'll need water for cooking and plastering later."
Liu Qingfeng agreed and went to get the bucket and shoulder pole he brought from the tricycle. There are households not far from here, and you can find out where to get water by asking. It could be a well or a river nearby.
Others took down their sickles, hoes, etc. that were on their tricycles. Everyone was asked to prepare their own things, so they went to borrow from relatives in the countryside. Then the small stove and other things were brought down by Geng Shan, Zhu Dahai and others.
Yan Yan was arranged to sit on a small stool. The small stool was placed under the eaves. But at this moment, she followed her mother and a few uncles to visit this large courtyard with three entrances. Almost every room was leaking light directly from the roof.
Geng Shan said, "Teacher Lin, I'll borrow a ladder to climb up and pick up some tiles. I guess I'll have to buy some tiles to fix it later. Otherwise, it will be troublesome when it rains." It
's a rare job opportunity, so he must work hard. Who the hell wants to eat free meals and have to look at people's faces at home for a seven-foot-tall man?
Lin Yan nodded, "Okay, you see how much you need to buy. Be careful when climbing up and down."
