Chapter 53 Bus Station
"You can't joke about this, Xiao Zhao."
Director Xiao looked at Zhao Yi and said.
Although I was in the city, it was still very difficult to have a meal of meat. Although the treatment in the department store was good, that was because they processed the goods for internal consumption, but the department store did not sell meat.
"How can I joke about something like this, Director? If I can't come up with it by then, you will think I am just a boaster."
Zhao Yi smiled.
“Are there many people coming here to fix things this morning?”
Director Xiao looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"Not many, only about seven or eight people. Maybe it's because there has been no one on duty for a long time. People often come to the department store to ask questions, so it seems crowded."
Zhao Yi answered truthfully that people who came to repair radios and other things needed to open an order at the department store, and Director Xiao would know if he just checked.
“Are there any products that have not been repaired yet?”
Director Xiao looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"There are still two that haven't been repaired this morning."
Zhao Yi responded.
"So I'll give you two days off. The repair shop will remain open. If anyone comes to repair a product, have them place an order first, and then wait for them to come in two days. I won't report it to you yet, so you'll be free. This way, no products from nearby counties or cities will be sent here for repair.
You should first go to the Qixingao you mentioned and give some benefits to everyone. ”
Director Xiao suppressed his inner excitement and said.
If Zhao Yi could really get so much meat, then the family would be able to have a few good meals.
Director Qian Xiao's family is a dual-income family and does not have much extra expenses, but they lack oily foods such as meat.
Nowadays, maintenance technicians are scarce. Department stores are state-owned units, so those without maintenance technicians will send items that need repair to the city. If the city cannot handle them, they will send them back.
If the city can handle it, it will repair it, or if there are skilled repairmen in nearby counties, the goods will be sent over for repair, because those who can afford these things are basically working-class families.
"OK."
Zhao Yi nodded. It happened that he was going to the city in the evening, so he asked Director Peng of the city supply and marketing cooperative how things were going.
"By the way, Xiao Zhao, you brought your wife to the city. Does she have nothing to do?"
Director Xiao looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"I just came from home. I don't usually have anything to do. It's hard to find a job in the city."
Zhao Yi nodded and said.
"We have internal benefits in our department store, which is to subsidize small jobs done by our workers. A fake neck is paid 30 cents for the work. The monthly quantity is not much, about 40 pieces per person per month. If you don't have a sewing machine at home, I will apply for a sewing ticket for you first.
As for bicycles, we may have to wait until after the New Year.
If your daughter-in-law doesn't know how to use a sewing machine, you can ask your sister-in-law to teach her for a few days. ”
Director Xiao found that Zhao Yi was a good person and worthy of his attention.
"Thank you very much, Director. I'll go get busy now and I'll definitely bring you good news."
Zhao Yi's face immediately showed joy.
afternoon.
Zhao Yi has just repaired two radios.
The two men left with a smile. Within two minutes, Zhao Yi saw a woman leading a cart to the door of the store. There was a washing machine on the cart.
Today's washing machines can only wash clothes but not dry them, and they are extremely expensive. A washing machine costs more than three hundred yuan, and those who can afford a washing machine are either rich or noble, and their rank is much higher than that of an average director.
"Hello, young comrade. I heard from Director Xiao that washing machines can be repaired in Shanyang County. Is your maintenance technician here?"
The woman was wearing a tweed coat, leather shoes, and carrying a briefcase. It was obvious that she was not an ordinary person.
“I’m the maintenance guy.”
Zhao Yi introduced himself.
The woman took one look at Zhao Yi and felt that he was young, so young that she wondered if he had just turned eighteen.
"Then please help me find out what's wrong with this washing machine. It just makes noises when it's plugged in, but it won't turn whether there's water in it or not."
Although the woman was a little confused as to whether this young master was really capable or Xiao Lei was just making a false report, she still had to ask the master to take a look at the reason since she was already here. The woman didn't want to say much about the maintenance worker from the city. It took him most of the day to remove the outer shell, and he almost couldn't put it back after he had taken it apart.
"Comrade, you need to get an order first to repair something. Go to the front and get the order. I'll help you check it out."
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he helped the comrade who was pulling the cart to lift the washing machine to the door of the shop, took out a screwdriver and began to disassemble the back shell.
When the woman came back after finishing the order, she saw Zhao Yi debugging something. Within two minutes, Zhao Yi plugged in the power and turned on the washing machine. Then the woman saw the washing machine drum start to turn.
Seeing the washing tub turning, Zhao Yi turned the button again to stop it, and asked the driver pulling the cart to get water from the pipe next to it, fill it halfway with water and try again.
The woman's calm face suddenly showed a hint of joy. She didn't expect that this young master was so skilled. Xiao Lei was indeed capable of not reporting anything wrong.
After a while, the washing machine was half filled with water. Zhao Yi twisted it again, and the washing machine started turning again, and it seemed to have quite good power.
"Comrade, it has been fixed. Next time you wash clothes, don't put too much in. Putting too much in will cause the motor below to overload, which will cause the belt to loosen. In the future, the washing tub will only make noises but not turn."
Zhao Yi installed the outer shell and then twisted the drain button to drain the water inside.
"Young master, you are really capable. It only took a few minutes to find the cause and fix it. Thank you so much."
The woman said with a smile.
This thing cost her several hundred dollars. If it can't be repaired here, she plans to use her connections to contact the washing machine manufacturer to send someone to take a look. At worst, she can reimburse their travel expenses. She can't just throw it away.
Zhao Yi smiled without saying anything. The man who helped pull the boards secured the cart on the washing machine table with a rope, collected the documents and walked back to the store.
The woman walked towards the bus station happily.
Get off work in the evening.
Zhao Yi walked towards the bus station.
I saw the woman as soon as I got on the car.
"Young Master."
Seeing Zhao Yi, the woman waved happily, and there was an empty seat next to her.
Zhao Yi nodded, walked over and sat down next to the woman.
"Hello comrade, we meet again."
Zhao Yi responded with a smile.
"Where are you from, little master?"
"I am from Shanyang County."
Zhao Yi responded.
"Are you interested in working in the city?"
The woman looked at Zhao Yi and said.
A craftsman with this skill is a bit of a waste of talent in a small county town. There are so many workers in the city and many things needing repair. He can help the city's department stores solve a lot of problems.
"I'm afraid this isn't a good idea."
Zhao Yi was somewhat confused as to what the woman meant.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Good steel should be used on the blade."
The woman waved her hand.
